Chapter 95 095 Analysis: There may be other reasons.
The conversation between the two high-ranking officials from the capital was definitely not just a simple chat.
Now Wang Ziteng is still the governor of the Beijing Camp, a first-rank official, responsible for the security and public security of the capital. Although it doesn't sound cool, it is to the point - just think about it, this position is to be the gatekeeper of the capital, and only the emperor's confidant can hold this position, which shows how much Master Kang trusts Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng also lived up to his mission. Since he became the governor of the Beijing Camp, he has been working diligently and has a full sense of security, which makes Master Kang very satisfied. In this way, it is no wonder that Master Kang always wants to bring Xianyu, Wang Ziteng's only legitimate daughter, to his family as a daughter-in-law - it is always awkward for a daughter of his own family to be a concubine, so it is more appropriate to be a daughter-in-law.
Wang Ziteng's status and position are so extraordinary, but Lin Ruhai is not much behind.
He is now a deputy censor-in-chief of the third rank. Although it sounds like the word "deputy" in his title and he is only of the third rank, his position is not as high as Wang Ziteng's, but he holds real power and can participate in the joint trial of the three courts. Basically, whoever commits a crime is under his jurisdiction. Even if Wang Ziteng or even the officials of the first rank or super rank who are more powerful than Wang Ziteng commit a crime, they have to confess honestly in the Censorate.
Not to mention, with Lin Ruhai's speed of promotion, it was only a matter of time before he would lose the title of "deputy" - just over a year ago, when Xianyu first met Uncle Lin in Jinling City, he was just a doctor of Lantai Temple and a censor of salt, a sixth-rank official, and was also sent on business trips. Although he seemed to be the emperor's confidant, it was not a good look on the surface.
As a result, after just over a year but less than two years, he was promoted to the third-rank Deputy Chief Censor, a promotion of six levels in a row, which was like riding a rocket.
Of course, there were no official positions of the fifth and fourth ranks in the Censorate. Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing because he was promoted from the sixth rank Salt Inspector to the third rank Assistant Censor-in-Chief. Then he happened to be involved in the crackdown of a cheating case in the imperial examination, which made him a great contribution. He also did a good job in supervising the construction of the Medical Museum, which added a lot of points. As a result, he was successfully promoted to Deputy Censor-in-Chief.
Following this momentum, all it takes is one more opportunity, and the position of Left Censor-in-Chief, the head of the Censorate, will be easily within reach for this Uncle Lin. This shows how powerful he is, so powerful that it is simply terrifying.
When two people like this are together, you can certainly chat about daily life, but they definitely won't just do that - with this kind of configuration, it would be a shame if they didn't talk about national affairs.
In fact, before today, Wang Ziteng had already had several in-depth conversations with Lin Ruhai.
The strong always respect each other.
Basically from the first contact, the two people admired each other very much, otherwise they would not have formed an alliance directly.
So whether it was when they were at the Wang family in Jinling City, or when they passed by the Lin family in Gusu City, or even after the Lin family came to the capital, they maintained close contact. Even when they were separated, they kept in touch, and they really carried out the alliance to the end.
After all, if you really meet a reliable ally, then the matter of forming an alliance must be treated seriously.
A good ally can help you avoid danger and bring you to the top. For Wang Ziteng, Lin Ruhai is obviously such a teammate.
The same goes for Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng.
The two of them, one a civil official and the other a military officer, complemented each other perfectly. They had very similar views on many people and things in the court, especially on the overall situation, and they truly felt that they had met too late.
On top of that, they were both able to hear Xianyu’s inner thoughts, which made it even more amazing.
Anyway, those who can hear Xianyu's thoughts are considered her family. In addition, Xianyu has expressed her love for Xiao Daiyu and her siblings, especially Xiao Daiyu, in her heart more than once. Of course, the relationship between Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng is even better.
In such a situation, it would be difficult for the two of them to have any quarrels.
So, after Wang Yao arranged the farewell ceremony for the guests, he hurried back to the study, where he unexpectedly saw his father Wang Ziteng and Uncle Lin arguing - this scene completely stunned him.
No, what's wrong with you two?
How come they're still arguing?
This really makes people feel at a loss as to what to do.
Wang Yao has discovered today that many things are beyond his control, whether it was the previous visit of the princes or the sudden outburst of the Eighth Prince, he was somewhat helpless.
If it weren't for Uncle Lin, his father Wang Ziteng, and especially his sister Xianyu, he would have no idea what to do.
So, now that Uncle Lin and his father Wang Ziteng are arguing, what should they do about this matter?
As expected, I should look for my sister!
No matter what difficulties you encounter, just go to your precious sister and get them resolved.
Wang Yao decisively sent someone to ask for Xianyu again. This time, the unlucky person who was looking for someone was still the housekeeper Xiangbo. Xiangbo said that he was used to it. Anyway, all the brains of the whole family combined were not as good as the brain of their second daughter, so it was normal to go to her when encountering difficulties.
The key point is that the second girl in their family can solve the problem directly without even saying a word. Are you convinced?
Anyway, he said that he was very convinced.
Yes, as the old butler of the Wang family, although Xiang Bo is a very good person, he is not ranked in the top row of favorability. We can only speculate about Xianyu’s "superpowers" based on other people’s reactions.
But this does not affect Xiang Bo's judgment that Xianyu is the most powerful - to a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with this, no matter how Xianyu solved the problem, she successfully solved the problem in the end, isn't that enough.
Therefore, Uncle Xiang had no objection to the order from their second master and went there immediately.
So Xianyu, with a confused look on her face, was pulled into the study by Xiangbo and started to join in the conversation between the men.
As soon as she entered the study, she found that the atmosphere was not right. Mainly because Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng were not the kind of people who were particularly aggressive, and they sympathized with each other. When they spoke, they were inevitably friendly and soft-spoken, and could even be said to be chatting and laughing.
But today is completely different.
The two of them actually had a tense atmosphere, their faces were even red and their necks were angry.
Standing next to him was Wang Yao, who had a sad face. The scene was so beautiful that it was almost unbearable to look at.
Xianyu sighed and was about to ask what had happened, but Wang Yao had already started to explain it to her.
"It's about the talent show."
ah?
Xianyu was a little stunned. Seeing her like this, Wang Ziteng, who was standing next to her, simply made it clear to her.
"Your uncle Lin said that he wants you to participate in the Imperial Household Department's talent show next month."
After hearing this, Xianyu understood.
While eating the melon, she actually ate herself, and she didn't know what to do.
[So, Uncle Lin thinks I should go to the talent show, but my cheap dad thinks I shouldn't go? ]
Xianyu felt a little confused.
[But that's not right. Uncle Lin always seems to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but it's our cheap father who really wants to go one step further - what's the matter, isn't it easy to be the father-in-law of the emperor? Is he just treating money, fame and fortune as dirt? ]
[But no matter what, with my current status, I can't participate in the Imperial Household Department's selection, right? Aren't girls aged 13 to 17 from the Eight Banners eligible to participate? ]
Xianyu was wondering if Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng had lost their minds and were actually daydreaming about this impossible thing, when Lin Ruhai chose the right moment and spoke:
"My niece probably doesn't know yet, but His Majesty is already preparing to draft an imperial decree to raise the flag for your family."
Xianyu was stunned and looked at him with a confused look.
[No, what on earth is Master Kang playing? He is doing this, this must be aimed at her, right? ]
Thinking of all the abnormal behaviors of Master Kang before, and the "coincidences" of those princes frequently coming and going around her recently, Xianyu couldn't help but want to. To promote their family at this point in time really seems like an ulterior motive. The abacus beads are falling in her face. The smell of calculation is so obvious.
This is for her, okay?
So you're thinking of using this method to make her the wife of some prince?
It is also possible that she is not the principal wife, but more likely a concubine or a princess. After all, although Wang Ziteng's official position has reached the first rank, the Wang family's accumulation is still not deep enough, and it is somewhat forced to directly confer the title of wife.
The main thing is that she had already checked the historical data with System 003, and found that the wives of these princes were all from Manchu and Mongolian aristocratic families without exception, and there was not a single Han Chinese.
Even if there are, they are from the Han Army Banner and have nothing to do with ordinary Han people like their Wang family.
Who would have thought that Master Kang had no sense of martial ethics, did not play by the rules, and had to raise the flag for their family before the selection of the Imperial Household Department?
And it was raised to the Bordered White Banner - let me ask you, can it be more obvious, are they really planning to give her to the Fourth Prince as a concubine, right?
Fujin has no chance.
Even raising the flag won't work.
Because the history records that the fourth master's wife is Ulanara. This Ulanara who will become the queen in the future is just a 14-year-old girl, and she is also a good friend of Jia Yuanchun. Xianyu even met her last time.
A very nice little girl.
Honestly speaking, it would be a bit of a waste to let her be the legitimate wife of the Fourth Master.
People like the fourth uncle should not get married and have children. He is not interested in these things anyway. He just works hard every day and ends up working himself to death. It's really too exaggerated.
This kind of labor-intensive emperor, who only has work and state affairs in his eyes, actually needs a baby-making machine rather than a harem. He does not need to provide any emotional value or emotional foundation and can just give birth to babies.
And you should have more children, preferably all princes.
In fact, according to historical records, this fourth uncle might have really done so.
Unfortunately, even after doing so, the Fourth Uncle still did not have many offspring. Although he was not completely without any, he was still not as good as Master Kong in terms of both quantity and quality. He was really far behind.
Therefore, in the end, the Fourth Master had no choice but to choose the Fourth Master to ascend the throne. It's ridiculous.
After Xianyu digested all this information, she felt like she had become a lamb to be slaughtered. The position of the Fourth Master's concubine seemed to be waving at her, and the terrifying backyard and even the palace fighting life were also smiling at her...
Emma, it’s really scary just thinking about it - so why did Lin Ruhai actually suggest that she participate in the talent show?
Although if the flag is really raised, she will definitely have to go to the talent show, but since Wang Ziteng said he doesn't want her to go, there must be other ways, so why?
Perhaps sensing Xianyu's puzzled look, Lin Ruhai sighed, staring at Wang Ziteng's shark-like eyes and Wang Yao's confused and angry gaze, and slowly spoke:
"Brother Ziteng, nephew, and niece, please be patient. This matter is very strange, and there may be something else going on. Let me explain it in detail."
