The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 9 Imperial Palace Cabinet
The door of Lin Mansion.

"Master Xin, your horse."

The housekeeper took the reins from the servant and handed them to Wang Xin personally. Wang Xin's two personal soldiers had also come out of the gatehouse, each leading their own horse. The three horses were well taken care of in the Lin Mansion stables. Not only were they fed with fine feed, but their fur was also scrubbed to a shiny finish.

Wang Xin was not surprised, as the people in the Lin family have always been sensible.

"Thanks."

Wang Xin bowed and mounted his horse.

"How dare you, how dare you."

The butler smirked.

The young general in front of him is a favorite in the eyes of the master. Not only that, the power of the Wang family army is known to everyone in Yangzhou City.

The shadow of a famous tree.

When talking about General Wang, everyone has to give him a thumbs up, otherwise how could he have such status and position as him?

Even the master looks up to this man, so the housekeeper is naturally more sensible.

Unlike the butler's materialism, several young men who came from the gatehouse were full of admiration and crowded behind the window to see the Wang family army formed by General Wang, which was invincible and victorious.

Moreover, if you have the ability, you can join the Wang family army and rely on your military achievements and rewards to earn what others would earn in a year.

Among the young people in Yangzhou City, who doesn’t want to join the Wang Family Army?

Wang Xin sensed the movement in the gatehouse and guessed what was going on. His two personal guards were laughing smugly on horseback behind him.

I feel unworthy of this.

The reason why I am unwilling to respond to the love of the people is like when I left Nantong, I ignored the people on both sides of the road, because I really did nothing.

I just did one or two practical things.

Based on these few facts, Wang Xin did not think he was qualified to be loved by the people.

Having received the love of the people, Wang Xin was worried that he could not repay them.

Wang Xin knew very well what kind of person he was.

Just an ordinary real person.

He is not a bad person, but he cannot be considered a good person either, because he is very selfish and wants rewards when he does things, so he cannot be considered a good person.

"drive."

Wang Xin kicked his feet and swung the reins.

The two bodyguards followed closely.

"Bahhhhh."

The horse's hooves stepped on the stone slabs and quickly rounded the corner, and the figure gradually disappeared from view.

The housekeeper retracted his smile and said, "Everyone has left. Go back to where you came from and get back to work."

The young men in the concierge office left in frustration.

"I heard that every time the Wang family army returned from a campaign, they would receive at least 10 to 20 strings of cash."

"You may not know this, but I heard that Wang's army wiped out two thousand Japanese pirates in Nantong, and we only lost three people. It was so satisfying! Wang's army is really powerful. I really want to join the Wang's army."

"Just you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"The Wang Family Army is very strict about recruiting people. Two months ago, there were hundreds of Shaolin monks who wanted to join the Wang Family Army, but General Wang only recruited a dozen or so."

"What's so great about the Shaolin monks? They were defeated last year. How can they be compared with the Wang family army? They want to join the Wang family army just to wash away their previous defeat through the Wang family army."

Listening to the quarrels among the people below, the butler left quietly.

What Wang Jiajun.

There will be no more Wang Jiajun in the future.

Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.

A warrior is just a warrior after all.

The wing room next to the courtyard.

She was wearing the same bamboo green girl with dark floral and butterfly patterns, her hands resting on the strings of the zither, not knowing what she was thinking about. There was a faint fragrance in the room, and it was hard to tell where the fragrance came from, but it seemed to be in a painting.

The little girl came back jogging, panting and leaning against the green screen window, and said anxiously outside: "They have left, the master is coming."

"Just leave, look how tired you are."

"The girl isn't tired at all. Unlike back in Beijing, she was always thinking about home and falling asleep."

"You are so good, Zijuan, even you dare to tease me."

The house was suddenly filled with the laughter of the daughters.

Lin coughed.

After the room was quiet, Lin Ruhai entered the room and saw that his daughter looked well, much better than when she had just returned from the capital.

"It will take a few days to send you to the capital."

The bamboo-green girl was eager to stay at home. In her joy, she asked cleverly, "Is it because of General Xiao Wang?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and sighed, "Wang Xin is extremely talented. I, your father, never imagined that he would become so capable in just a few years. Now that the court has been alarmed, many people are already targeting him."

When the young girl Zhu Qing heard this, she couldn't help but feel worried.

But I don’t know what to say.

My father has already told me.

"I have already arranged a future for him in the capital. However, the situation at court is complicated. Whether his future is good or bad depends on his own luck. If he can succeed, his heart will surely repay you for your kindness. Then, I will have nothing more to ask for."

Seeing his daughter's sadness, Lin Ruhai stopped talking and asked about the music score for playing today.

The capital of gods, the imperial city.

The emperor ascended the throne at the age of fifteen. He did not rule the country at that time and was arranged to study in Wenhua Hall. For fifteen years, the emperor retired still lived in Qianqing Palace, while the emperor lived in Wenhua Hall and worked in Wenhua Hall.

Two Jinyiwei entered the Wenhua Hall, presented a booklet to a eunuch, then kowtowed and left.

The eunuch hurried in.

Behind the desk in the palace, the emperor was reading a memorial.

"Your Majesty, news from the Imperial Guards has arrived."

Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the six palaces, said in a low voice.

Although Xia Shouzhong served as the eunuch in charge of the six palaces, he actually had no real power.

The people who are truly in charge of the six palaces are the old men around the retired emperor, but it is not nice to say it out loud, because it is not reasonable for the retired emperor's people to manage the six palaces, so Xia Shouzhong is just a figurehead.

The emperor knew that Xia Shouzhong was doing something stupid outside.

The eunuchs in charge of all six palaces actually went out to make money themselves, and in the end it was the emperor's reputation that was ruined. However, the emperor did not care. The more this happened, the more relieved the emperor would be.

The emperor picked up the booklet brought by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"That's true."

"Xia Shouzhong, send it to Mr. Liu."

The emperor closed the book.

Xia Shouzhong took it with both hands. Mr. Liu was Liu Ru, a cabinet minister and also the emperor's teacher. The emperor would ask Mr. Liu for advice on both big and small matters, so Xia Shouzhong did not dare to neglect it and personally took people to deliver it to the cabinet.

The cabinet is located south of Wenhua Hall.

Xia Shouzhong did not dare to pass by the door of the chief minister of the cabinet, and quietly entered through the side door.

There are strict rules in the palace.

No one dared to walk around randomly, and no one dared to ask random questions.

Xia Shouzhong successfully found Liu Ru who was on duty today.

Liu Ru, as his name suggests, is in his sixties and carries himself with a scholarly air. Unexpectedly, he has a bad temper. He angrily said, "We gave Wang Ziteng the power to command nine provinces, and he's still not satisfied. Eunuch Xia, please tell the emperor when you return. I will handle this matter."

"I will tell His Majesty everything that Mr. Liu has instructed me to do, word for word."

Xia Shouzhong said with a smile.

"Please trouble Eunuch Xia."

Liu Ru stood up to see him off.

After Xia Shouzhong left, Liu Ru picked up the letter on his desk again.

The letter was delivered by the post at full speed.

Written by his student Cai Wen.

Liu Ru read the contents of the letter again and couldn't help tapping the table with his index finger.

"Wang Xin."

Liu Ru felt annoyed when he looked at the name in the letter.

Everything is going according to plan.

Having come to the point where things are today, if they can just endure for a few more years, everything will be peaceful. Liu Ru doesn't want any accidents to happen and just wants the emperor to rule the country smoothly. Once the emperor rules the country, everything will be back on track.
