Chapter 426: Beyond Rong Leng’s Expectations, Out of Control
Things are such a coincidence. At the critical moment, Rong Leng led the army back to Beijing in a mighty and mighty way. Passing here, he had an extra shot.
Sun Qi has since been rescued.
After all, it was just a matter of drawing out a sword to help when the road was rough.
Moreover, Rong Leng was an official of the imperial court. He was an upright man, protecting the people, punishing evil and eradicating evil, which was his duty.
But the strange thing is that Rong Leng looked pitifully at Sun Qi.
After all, Sun Qi was a scholar, but he was shabby and shabby. He looked no better than a beggar, so Rong Leng felt good in his heart and gave Sun Qi thirty pieces of silver.
This was done on a whim, with no intention of getting anything in return.
But Sun Qi took the matter seriously. Not long after, Sun Qi's palace examination was over. He became famous at a young age and became the second best person in the court!
Receive the imperial title personally and become famous in one fell swoop!
The situation in the court was treacherous and there were many factions. At that time, three people became famous in the imperial examination, the number one scholar, the second best scholar, and the third best scholar. Except for Sun Qi, who was the second best scholar, he had no power and no backing. The first scholar and the third best scholar each had their own ideas. Not long after they were awarded the title, they found One's own reliance.
Of the two, one voted for the crown prince and the other voted for the seventh prince.
Only Sun Qi, because no one recommended him, was left alone in the end.
At this time, Sun Qi thought of the Third Prince.
In the past, when the prince and the seventh prince divided the world, who was the third prince? To put it bluntly, even the second-rank officials looked down upon the powerful third prince.
Although this third prince seems to have caught the emperor's eye, he is often sent to the border to fight or to patrol the field. I am afraid that this third prince has made many achievements in front of the emperor. But in the court, there is not even half of the power.
After Sun Qi inquired about all these secrets, without saying a word, he went directly to Zhenge Gate and asked to see the Third Prince!
At that time, some classmates at the same time advised him not to have his own way. These three princes are all military generals. The biggest future in the future is to be a marshal. However, in the court, the people with power have always been civilian officials, and most of the military attachés are stationed abroad. In Beijing, The power can hardly be established.
The classmates were digging into their hearts and souls, just because they were afraid that Sun Qi would jump into the pit of fire!
But Sun Qi had to jump into this fire pit. Then, when Rong Leng returned home one day, he met the newly promoted second-ranked man at the gate of Zhengemen.
And then, the captain couldn't get rid of this piece of dog-skin plaster.
Until later, gradually, rumors came out in the court that the third prince had attracted civil servants, but he didn't know what his intention was.
Rong Leng was not concerned about such rumors, but after all, some people were afraid of him.
Within half a year, there was chaos on the border.
Rong Leng went into battle again and went to reinforce.
And this time, it will be a year.
When he came back, Sun Qi was gone.
After being reported by his subordinates, Rong Leng found out that Sun Qi was sent into Dali Temple not long after he left.
Sun Qi is also a person who strives for success. A small assistant minister of Dali Temple, who originally had no possibility of meritorious deeds, found extremely important clues in a major case and became a celebrity in the capital. Even the emperor I praised him in court, he is a talented boy.
It stands to reason that if you have made a contribution, you should be rewarded.
Yes, there are indeed awards, and the award is promotion!
From the original fifth-rank assistant minister of Dali Temple, he was promoted to the third-rank governor of Guyong Mansion. He took office immediately, without any mistakes!
The promotion from the fifth grade to the third grade is obviously a promotion, but how can the capital official and the local official be the same?
This was clearly a rise and fall secretly. From then on, Sun Qi never got ahead in Guyong Mansion.
Rong Leng didn't pay much attention to Sun Qi, but from the words of his subordinates, it was not difficult for Rong Leng to tell that it was because he fought on the border and won successive victories and returned with a great victory that Sun Qi fell. mold.
Everyone in the capital who has any sagacity "knows" that Sun Qi is a member of Rong Leng's sect. Before Rong Leng returns to the capital, sending this promising helper Sun Qi away is undoubtedly a way for some people to eliminate the root cause.
And Rong Leng knew who these people were without having to guess.
After all, he was the one who harmed Sun Qi. After that, Rong Leng wrote a letter to Sun Qi to express his condolences.
The letter was short and Rong Leng didn't say much. In fact, he and Sun Qi were not familiar with each other, so a few words were enough.
But since then, things have gone beyond Rong Leng's expectations and got out of hand.
His letter probably made Sun Qi realize something, and then Sun Qi wrote back a long letter. The first letter was more than twenty pages long, and the pages were densely written.
After Rong Leng read the content - Sun Qi first said to Rong Leng that Guyong Mansion is very good, with outstanding people, gentle people and easy management. He likes it here very much, and then goes on to say how many beautiful scenery there are here. Interesting anecdotes, which street and shop sells which buns are more delicious, and how the recent case I encountered was solved.
In short, Sun Qi covered everything, no matter how big or small, there was no omission.
Rong Leng's face turned bad after reading the letter, but out of politeness, he simply replied to the letter again, but this time the reply contained fewer words than last time, only four words - Anhao.
A month and a half later, Rong Leng received a second letter. This time, it had twenty-five pages.
This time, Rong Leng never wanted to go back.
But it doesn't matter if Rong Leng doesn't reply, Sun Qi will send it himself.
Every month, or every two months, Sun Qi would always write letters regularly. At least once, he wrote sixteen pages. Rong Leng was curious, what could he say so much about?
In short, it took Sun Qi seven years to write this letter. Even though Rong Leng only replied to five letters during this period, and the number of words never exceeded ten, Sun Qi never tired of it.
Until now, Rong Leng came to Guyong Mansion.
And he shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, Rong Leng shouldn't have impulsively contacted Sun Qi again and ended up in the current situation.
Liu Wei listened quietly to Sun Qi's words. During this period, more than five or six times, he heard Sun Qi praising Rong Leng in his words, wishing he could worship Rong Leng as if he were a Buddha.
By the time he finished listening to everything, half an hour had passed. Even though the truth was distorted in Sun Qi's mouth, Liu Wei was smart. Looking at Rong Leng's expression, he already guessed the truth in his mind. Not far away from ten.
After Sun Qi finally stopped talking, Liu Weicai pursed her lips and looked at Rong Leng: "I never thought that Lieutenant Rong could be so kind-hearted and willing to help others."
Rong Leng squinted his eyes and looked at her like this.
Sun Qi's face turned red as he spoke, and now he immediately vouched for it: "Rong Duwei has a bodhisattva-like heart and a kind heart. Meeting an adult is the greatest blessing in this official's life."
"Pfft..." Liu Wei couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
With a dark face like the bottom of a pot, Rong Leng stepped forward to grab Liu Wei and take her away.
Liu Wei was shaken by Rong Leng, but she was still distracted. She turned around and said to Sun Qi: "Master Sun, Liu has something important to ask your lord. I'll come back tomorrow at noon for advice."
