Chapter eight hundred and fifty-five Zhiyuan planted trees, Wang Gong enjoys the shade(1/2)
In addition to the Sima family, there are no other forces in the Jin Dynasty who can stand up and say something so far.
In particular, the category of generals does not exist yet, at least powerful generals have not emerged yet.
Let Sima Dezong be a puppet and act as a showman from above, while the ministers discussed everything below.
Isn't it a good thing to share all the benefits?
Wang Gong eats meat and everyone drinks soup. Isn't the unprecedented good situation in Jin Dynasty just around the corner?
but……
Although the situation is such a good one, there are also those stupid people who don't have eyesight and are unwilling to cooperate.
Every time he thought of Wang Zhiyuan, Wang Gong felt itchy with hatred and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
After sending the imperial edict, Wang Gong not only did not feel happier, but instead became more depressed.
At this moment, he was standing in his yard, looking at the few small trees that were still green, feeling filled with emotion.
"At this time, the leaves in the north will turn yellow!"
"I don't know whether the leaves in the north are yellow or not, but it's true that your face is almost turning yellow and turning green now."
A familiar voice came from behind my ears. It was so cunning and arrogant. I didn't even need to turn around to know that it must be Madam.
"Madam, do you have any objections?"
Mrs. Wang is a very knowledgeable woman. Even Wang Gong, who is quite capable in controlling government affairs, often thinks that if Mrs. Wang were a man, she would have already become famous and accomplished great things!
Pity!
Nestled in this boudoir, I can only fight against my husband.
"I don't take my opinion seriously, but I do have some ideas."
You see, I still have an opinion, and judging from Madam’s appearance, this opinion is not as big as usual.
Then just listen and see.
Wang Gong turned around and bowed, showing respect.
Mrs. Wang smiled: "I heard that you called Wang Zhiyuan back? In the name of the imperial court?"
Wang Gong was stunned: "This is a matter in the court, Madam actually knows about it again?"
"The news is really fast!"
Wang Gong's reaction showed that he was already prepared for his wife to know the news. The only thing that surprised him was the speed.
It’s a bit too fast!
You know, it has only been three days since this happened. Three days!
Not to mention those noble ladies who only lingered in the boudoir, even the ministers in the court and the less central and marginal officials were still unaware of this matter.
Where did Madam know this?
In front of Mrs. Wang, Wang Gong is almost a transparent person.
However, he himself had not known it yet, and he felt quite good about himself, thinking that his subtle changes in expression would not be caught by his wife at all.
However……
"You don't have to think about it."
"I'm not interested in your trivial matters at all. The reason why I know it so quickly is that you don't know the situation of the Jin Dynasty. You can never hide anything. To put it bluntly,
In other words, it’s like running a dog on the front fence and a cat on the back fence, that’s all.”
"As for why I know it, of course I heard it at the ladies' party."
In fact, Mrs. Wang doesn't really like those flashy ladies' gatherings. In her opinion, the less knowledgeable a woman is, the more she likes to attend such gatherings.
After all, for many noble ladies, apart from their own family status and their husband's official status, there is nothing to brag about.
And all these things, even if they look extremely good on the outside, can only belong to you, and others have no way of knowing.
How can this be done?
This honor can only bring them great satisfaction if shared with others.
Therefore, we must think of a way and find a way to show off these nutritious things from time to time.
Gatherings of ladies came into being. You are like this, I am like this, gossiping and inquiring about information.
Of course, there is a lot of bad news. After all, no matter how appropriate the sisters behave, most of them don't want to see others live well.
In this case, when the news about Wang Gong spread at the party, we can judge how the ladies positioned this matter.
It must be something she didn't like, so it was spread as a joke at the party. Mrs. Wang seemed worried, but she actually didn't think so in her heart.
She attended such gatherings precisely for this purpose.
Who doesn't care about the affairs of the court?
Although my husband is the largest official in the court today, it is unrealistic to want to know more information from Wang Gong.
For example, Wang Gong would never tell his wife Qin Qin about all his conspiracies in the court.
There's just...no way.
Wang Gong showed a regretful face. He couldn't shut the mouths of those talkative women, so he could only accept the fact that the news was leaked.
"What does the lady mean...that I shouldn't recruit him back?"
This seems to be a bit knowingly asking. At the same time, the fact that Wang Gong can ask this shows that he himself feels that what he is doing is inappropriate.
Not very decent.
"What do you think?"
"Aning, are you being too petty by doing this?"
Now that he had spoken, there was no point in hiding it. Mrs. Wang threw Wang Gong's face to the ground and simply spoke openly.
"Wang Zhiyuan has won consecutive battles. What a great contribution. Whether it is for the court or for himself, after all, he has merit."
"It's okay if you don't mention rewards. The army has traveled a long way to the hinterland of the north. How can you let them return in a hurry without letting them rest?"
"This is totally unreasonable!"
"Are you deliberately creating problems for Wang Zhiyuan? Do you want to deal with him?"
"Ah this..."
"Madam, you are overthinking. I don't think so."
Still don’t admit it?
If you didn't have this idea, how could you do such an immoral thing?
If he had done other things before, Mrs. Wang would have spared him. After all, they had been married for more than 20 years. How could she not know what kind of virtue Wang Gong was?
When you should save some face for him, you should save some.
But, this is not possible!
It violates the moral code, and it also disrespects the soldiers who fought hard!
"It's useless if you don't admit it. I've seen through it a long time ago. You are just petty and won't tolerate Wang Zhiyuan's contribution to being greater than yours!"
"Even if you don't think about him, you should still think about the soldiers of Beifu who are running thousands of miles away. Don't you, as the Prime Minister, even have this bit of compassion?"
hehe!
Still showing mercy?
Contrary to Madam's imagination, such sincere words of love, instead of arousing Wang Gong's sympathy, aroused even greater resentment from him.
His face changed.
He just listened and said: "When it comes to Beifu soldiers, do you think I don't want to give them preferential treatment? If they belong to me, then I am willing to let them come back. I can even give them promotions and titles."
"However, the Beifu soldiers now belong to Wang Zhiyuan. To put it more clearly, they belong to Xie An who is standing behind him. Since it is the Xie family's business, let them figure out their own solution, whether it is rewards or military pay.
No matter what, they have to raise it themselves and ask me for it, and they don’t even have a door!"
Tsk tsk...
It turned out that the so-called crux was here, and Mrs. Wang was also greatly surprised.
I originally thought that Wang Gong was just jealous that Wang Zhiyuan was young and capable, and wanted to deliberately stumble him.
But I didn't expect that things were not that simple at all.
Speaking more deeply, it is true that Wang Gong did this not just because of his narrow-mindedness.
This is related to the ownership of the Beifu soldiers, the most combat-effective force in the Jin Dynasty!
In particular, the current Beifu soldiers are definitely not the Beifu soldiers of the past. The more they win battles, the more angry Wang Gong becomes.
Why can't such an army that can fight belong to me?
How great would it be if it belonged to me?
To be continued...
