Chapter 2054 Tragic Wang Quantai(2/2)
Wang Quantai also knows that the time is coming when he will have a title. No matter how high the official position is, it belongs to him alone and has nothing to do with his descendants. Only things like titles can be passed down, and he can be considered worthy of it.
Lao Wang has joined the family, and he is the first person in the history of his family to have fame and title.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Wang Quantai, the Minister of Household Affairs, is of noble conduct, has written many books, and has made many achievements. The person I can use will turn thirty this year. The ancients said that when you stand at thirty, I will give you a court dress and a Dongzhu.
He was granted the title of Second Class Viscount, and his eldest son was granted the title of Third Class Captain of Light Vehicles. I admire this." The imperial edict was not long, but it made all these guys dumbfounded. There were many people who were knighted at the age of thirty, but their birthdays
This is what was given on this day. There are so many envious people, Dongzhu? Damn it, is that available to ordinary people? You must know that in the court of the Eastern Empire, only the prince’s hat is on
You only have this thing. Although it only costs hundreds of thousands of silver each, it is a symbol of power. Second-class Viscount? Generally speaking, you start from the third-class Viscount. This guy went directly to the next level, Second-class Viscount.
According to the rank, he is from the first rank civil servant, which means that he does not need to kneel when he meets the first rank ministers in the future, because he is equal to them. As for his son to have a title, this is even more impossible.
This means that the two sons of Wang Quantai's family have titles. The eldest son's direct grandson will naturally inherit his title of viscount. The other son is the third-class captain of light vehicles. Although it is the lowest among the titles, it is equal to the title of viscount.
For a fourth-grade civil servant, it is more or less acceptable.
Wang Quantai was really in tears at that time. It was this incident that made him feel that he had to make some achievements to show the emperor. His title should not be stopped at the second-class Viscount. He was still young and powerful, so he would definitely
There are more things that satisfy you, that is, the idea at that time was to deceive this guy.
The emperor likes his ministers to be capable, especially Wang Quantai. Except for the emperor, no one else is a bird. Such ministers can be said to be pure ministers. Of course, the emperor must protect such people well, but
Sometimes such ministers are too incapable of interpreting the Holy Will. For the next ten years, Wang Quantai still stayed in the position of Minister of Household Affairs. Normally, he should be promoted in ten years, but the emperor had his own
Plan. The two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue are both uncles of the country, and they are both young. It is impossible to be removed from office. They are both very knowledgeable. They usually just have the same name. Most of them
Everything was managed by Wang Quantai, and the other three Ministers of the Household Department also understood that the emperor wanted to keep Wang Quantai to manage the Household Department. Every one of them was either complaining of illness or wandering around. Anyway, what did Wang Quantai ask us to do?
Just do whatever you want. For a while, everyone regarded this guy as the Minister of Household Affairs. Even the emperor thought so. It was just that he was not yet young. As for the issue of rank, it didn't matter. Wang Quantai himself was already a viscount.
The grade is the same as that of a minister.
Wang Quantai himself also manages the household department in an orderly manner. Regardless of the previous shortcomings or some current troubles, in short, the money and food matters satisfy His Majesty the Emperor, while other adults in other ministries are not so satisfied. You
The boy has reduced some of our extra income. What does it have to do with you that the royal treasury is rich? Then someone started to collect some evidence of Wang Quantai, but this guy usually has very few favors.
It is not easy for you to catch him, so most of them have achieved nothing, and in the end they were reprimanded by the emperor. Everyone can see that Wang Quantai is now in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.
Everything is fine there. If you go up and talk nonsense at this time, you will inevitably be unlucky. It is better not to do such a thing.
Everyone understands the principle of "Happy Days without Flowers", and they also know that Wang Quantai must have a big idea in his heart. If this matter really comes up, he can handle it well, but if he doesn't handle it well,
, we may have a chance.
And at this time, Wang Quantai really discovered a good opportunity, which was also directly related to the Cao Family Trading Company. When the people from the Cao Family Trading Company arrived in the Eastern Empire, they all took the sea route, although they did it when they first arrived.
All were smuggling, but Wang Quantai also saw huge business opportunities. Among the four empires, only the Eastern Empire had a huge merchant fleet, and the other empires did not. If this business could be done well,
, The days to come will definitely be much better than this. Wang Quantai and His Majesty the Emperor were careless, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor was so kind to him, and he could give His Majesty the Emperor a surprise, but it was this surprise that made Wang Quantai
Just get out of here.
That morning, Wang Quantai happily took his things to see His Majesty the Emperor. All the servants around him knew that His Majesty the Emperor had said that if Wang Quantai came, they would put them in quickly. Each of these eunuchs was older than Lord Wang.
They were flattering each other. Depending on the intentions of His Majesty the Emperor and Wang Quantai, the fool also knew that what they were going to talk about must be confidential, so it would be better to stay away quickly to save himself from getting confused.
If it was thrown away, that would be an injustice.
They had also planned that they could give themselves some reward money when they waited for Mr. Wang to come out. Who knew that after more than half an hour, they still didn’t see Wang Quantai come out, and there was no sound from inside. Thinking of what Wang Quantai was holding,
That memorial, the good guy is so old and thick, must be a big thing related to the empire. Last time, Mr. Wang directly offended most of the people in the empire. I don’t know what it is now.
, many eunuchs are worried in their hearts, this is not something to reduce expenses, their salary cannot be reduced, etc. Thinking of this, everyone wants to know what is going on.
After more than an hour, Wang Quantai did not come out. His Majesty the Emperor shouted that someone was coming. The guards and eunuchs outside the room heard it, and they rushed in one by one to see what was going on. Inside the room, the memorial was thrown away.
There were things on the ground, Wang Quantai was kneeling there tremblingly, and His Majesty the Emperor had an angry look on his face.
"Go away, take off his court clothes, take off his hood, and go back to your hometown. You are just a poor scholar. I give you a little face and you actually don't know your last name. How dare you do such a thing?"
Come out, I have been too indulgent of you all these years, get out of here, I never want to see you." That's what His Majesty the Emperor said. Although the eunuchs didn't understand what was going on, His Majesty the Emperor rarely
When they were so angry, no one dared to speak out, so they quickly pulled Wang Quantai out of trouble, and the next thing happened naturally. Wang Quantai and his whole family were in despair.
After leaving the capital, let alone official positions and titles, being able to save one's life is already very good. Do you still want that?
Without the brilliance of the past, Wang Quantai is just an ordinary person. Although many people in the court want to add insult to injury, they still dare not take action considering that this guy is still a member of Prince Ning after all. Today, they feel comfortable.
, but if you offend Prince Ning just like that, this matter is not that simple, and you will have your own good fruits when the time comes.
Because Wang Quantai had a name at the beginning, he was able to return to his hometown safely. The original deep houses and courtyards are no longer there. Although the Wang family has a small foundation, they are all directly related to Wang Quantai.
It doesn't matter, now that he no longer has the status he once had, the surrounding local officials naturally don't need to treat him so politely. His brothers fell directly from the sky to the ground. What can they do on a day like this?
I can bear it. They will come to their brother's place in three or two days to have some mischief. Why don't they think about how they would have lived without Wang Quantai?
Although Wang Quantai has been back for two years now, in the past two years, this guy has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. No matter how poor the family of the three younger brothers is, they still have a large village with hundreds of hectares of land to support them. Every year, there are tens of thousands of taels.
Bai Yin, when I came back, they spent hundreds of silver to buy themselves this small courtyard. For ordinary people, such a courtyard is already very good, but Wang Quantai's big house in the capital was given by the emperor and cost more than hundreds of dollars.
Of course, he is not a person who has never endured hardships. Fortunately, his wife is pretty good. She was also born into a poor family. The three sons and one daughter in the family are also directors.
Under the guidance of Wang Quantai, they all began to study. However, His Majesty the Emperor has already said that no one from the Wang family is allowed to serve as an official for three generations. This punishment can be said to be very severe, and there is nothing to learn.
They can only work as farmers at home. Wang Quantai had one or two friends who were more or less useful. When Wang Quantai came back, he also gave him a good amount of money. Although it was not much, they were also afraid that they would be
It was framed, but it is still possible to live a life for Wang Quantai. Besides, when Wang Quantai first came back, Prince Ning also sent some things. The life can still be supported, but the future of the sons at home is gone.
It's a pretty good day...
After knowing Li Cong's intention, Wang Quantai did not rush to agree. He knew that his decision was very difficult at this time. If something was slightly wrong, it would be the crime of quarreling and genocide. It can be said that the emperor did not take his own life.
To save face, he also knows how powerful his plan is. The Cao family business is already very powerful now. If this thing is attached again, it may be great in a few years. By then, His Majesty the Emperor
Do you blame yourself?
Title? Is that thing useful? Li Cong said that he can give titles to his sons. He was not the one without titles before, but how is he doing now? It’s not like he has nothing. These things are all external things.
If you can't take it with you alive or dead, it's useless if you ask for it. In the past, I cared too much about these things. Now it's really useless if I want these things now. It's better not to have them. It seems that I still have these things.
There are people who know the goods, and Wang Quantai is very happy about this. After all, there are still people who can understand the classic things he has come up with in his life.
"Damn, I'm so unlucky when I wake up in the morning. What do I think is going on? You said you didn't have anything to do and why did you open the door? You've made all this money go away. I said, brother, you have nothing to do and write your words at home.
That's it, no one is bothering you now. Why am I so unlucky? I went to the casino once and lost eight hundred taels of silver. My luck was not that bad before. My luck has not been better since you came back.
It's all because of you." When Wang Quantai was thinking, a man came in from outside. He looked somewhat similar to Wang Quantai. This should be Wang Quantai's brother. Wang Quantai smiled bitterly. Such things have happened to him.
I have encountered him many times. These younger brothers are no longer younger brothers, but his enemies. Each of them will come to him to make a fuss as long as something goes wrong. Who knows if
Without yourselves, none of you might even be able to get a wife. How can you have spare money to play in the casino now? In the past, no matter you went to the casino or played with others, no one would dare to beat you.
This is a normal thing, unless all of them are stupid young people. Now that your eldest brother is nothing, how can you win money? In this casino, nine out of ten gamblers cheat, you guys
If they don't deal with such fat fish, they will be sorry for you and the money in your hands.
"Hey, there are still people coming to this house. I thought no one would come here in my life. What are you doing here? It looks pretty good. My eldest brother is having bad luck now. You are not afraid of getting involved.
It's bad luck. If nothing happens, get out of here as soon as possible." Wang Quantai's second brother felt even more uncomfortable when he saw Li Cong and the others. What are they doing here?
"You bastards, you usually don't do serious things all day long. When something happens, you come to my place to drink and go crazy. What do I owe you? Back then, our family was a farmer. If I didn't study,
You are all still planting crops. Things are much better now than before. After all, your family is considered a big landowner. Why can't we live a good life?" Wang Quantai saw that his second brother spoke so rudely, he
I have no ability at all now. Many people have heard of this Cao family business. If I offend Li Cong, and if Li Cong is a narrow-minded person, my second brother's head may not be saved. Such a thing is absolutely
What may happen is that if a son of a powerful family kills ordinary people, it is no different than trampling an ant to death. His second brother really doesn't know how to find the time.
"Shit, that's the fate of our brothers. Even without you, we can still live better than this. At the beginning, we relied on your strength, but later it was all our own efforts. You come back
That's good. We have gained so little light from you. Now we have to give it back. The nephews can study hard and study hard. Now they, eh? can only be rich men at home.
