Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

There is a customary name for Jiang Bin's behavior, which is "returning to his mother's house".After Jiang Bin arrived at the Xuan Mansion, he first went to Wang Ji. Wang Ji regretted Jiang Bin's leaving without saying goodbye. He was very happy to see Jiang Bin at this time, and he took him to his house after finishing his business. Reminiscing about the past.Although the Dusi belongs to the Five Dudu's Mansion, Wang Ji does not regard Zuo Dudu Jiang Bin as his boss. Knowing the intention of sworn worship, Wang Ji was delighted to hear Jiang Bin mentioning this, and he asked him to find an auspicious day to worship together. Jiang Bin said: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, why stick to it?"

Wang Jidao said "yes", and happily called his servants to work.

Although the ceremony is simple, everything is complete. A statue of Guan Gong is hung in front of the ancestral hall, offerings are placed under it, a bowl of wine, and a book of golden orchids. Wang Ji is four years older than Jiang Bin, so he first wrote his name on the golden orchids , Jiang Bin also wrote his name neatly, and imitated Wang Ji and pressed his handprint on it.Afterwards, the two of them would each burn an incense stick, kill the chicken, drip the blood of the chicken into the wine, and prick their middle fingers to drip the blood into the wine.Wang Ji took a sip from the wine glass, and then handed it to Jiang Bin. Holding the bowl of blood wine, Jiang Bin felt a warm feeling in his heart. He thought that he must help Wang Ji, so that the people of Xuanfu could live and work in peace and contentment without any worries.Raise your glass and take a sip. The aroma of the wine is so strong that you can't even taste the slightest fishy smell.Could the peaceful and prosperous world achieved by unscrupulous means also cover up the blood flowing into rivers in the bloody storm?

Jiang Bin respectfully put the wine glass back in front of the statue of Guan Gong, Wang Ji helped Jiang Bin up, and Jiang Bin called "Big Brother", Wang Ji smiled and agreed, and dragged Jiang Bin to his armory.There are not many weapons hidden in the armory, but they are all family heirlooms of the general family.

Wang Ji took a nine-section whip and said: "This is what my old man used back then. It has been with him all his life, and then it was passed on to me. If you don't think he is old, then accept it!"

Jiang Bin knew how valuable it was, so he naturally shied away, so Wang Ji said with a sullen face, "Isn't this big brother trying to make me happy?"

Jiang Bin knew Wang Ji's temper, so he took it with both hands respectfully.Only then did Wang Ji regain his amiable appearance, and dragged Jiang Bin into the hall.

Wang Jipo took Jiang Bin's matter to heart, and sent someone to find his uncle's whereabouts for him before, but it was a pity that they failed so far. Talking about this matter, Jiang Bin couldn't help but feel sad, Wang Ji comforted, saying that there could be any enmity between the uncle and nephew, Jiang Ziqing wanted to understand Will be back.Jiang Bin thought that Wang Ji didn't understand his seemingly gentle but stubborn uncle, but he didn't want to worry Wang Ji, so he avoided the topic.

The wine and dishes from his hometown made Jiang Bin feel nostalgic, but he didn't regret his decision to go his own way. Even if he couldn't make a name for himself, at least his life would be worth it.

Later, Wang Ji got drunk and said apologetically about his unmarried daughter-in-law. He was transferred here as an official and was busy all day long. Wang Ji couldn't ask for leave, so their marriage was delayed again and again, and they could only exchange letters. , Long time no see.Wang Ji also said that he is doomed to be mediocre in his life, and he only hopes to do something for the people. He has been in Xuanfu for more than half a year, and he has a kind of hometown-like affection for the people here.The two of them fell asleep while talking.In the end, they were woken up by the old housekeeper, who helped each of them go back to sleep.

The next day, Wang Ji said bluntly that he had said a lot of nonsense yesterday, and that he should make amends today, and took Jiang Bin around.Accompanied by Wang Ji, Jiang Bin felt much closer to his hometown even though he only walked around the turrets and shops, and wandered around the Changping Gate, Xuande Gate, and Cheng'an Gate in the south.Afterwards, it was natural to farm, train, and work... Wang Jiyou was busy with official duties, and his hangover made him feel a little headache, but he still persisted. Putting on their clothes, they followed to see if there was anything they could help. The two said that they were brothers and brothers, and they did not defend each other. It made those who had met Jiang Bin earlier, Li Shichun and Wang Lun, who had met Jiang Bin earlier, unable to understand.But obviously, Wang Ji also had a sense of propriety. For Jiang Bin's consideration, he didn't inform them of their sworn marriage.

Jiang Bin followed Wang Ji like this for two days, and when he followed Wang Ji to inspect the farmland on the third day, he heard him talk about the sufferings of the people, so he couldn't help telling him about the disappearance of Emperor Zhengde's investigation and investigation. The fact that Emperor Zhengde used a pseudonym to Shangshu is hidden.Wang Ji couldn't believe it, he turned back and asked for details, and after hearing Jiang Bin's explanation one by one, he said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, he really...?"

Jiang Bin nodded, Wang Ji immediately shook his hand excitedly and said, "If this is the case, the Xuan Mansion will definitely be able to change its appearance and not be intruded by the Tartars, but the Emperor may not be able to decide this matter..."

Hearing these words, Jiang Bin couldn't help but feel sad, and hurriedly comforted him: "Brother, don't say such frustrating words, the emperor keeps his word, and he will give you and me an explanation."

While the two were talking, someone came to report that the Second Young Master had been waiting in Wang Ji's mansion for a long time.These two sons are naturally Wang Xun, Wang Ji's younger brother.

The brothers look quite similar, but their personalities differ a lot.Wang Ji fought with his father in all directions since he was a child. He was brave and good at fighting, but he was illiterate and lacked the strategy of strategizing.And Wang Xun, who was only two years younger than Wang Ji, was entrusted to his uncle to take care of him. He learned the essence of life from this uncle who was the minister of rites, and knew how to use the methods of civil servants to pave his career for himself.The two brothers inherited their father's business in the form of Shiyin after they became adults. Although Wang Xun lacked actual combat experience, he learned very quickly. He was promoted several levels in a row and took the position of the chief soldier of Datong.Ordinarily, it would be somewhat embarrassing for an older brother to be outdominated by a younger brother, but Wang Ji was an exception. When he introduced such an amazing younger brother to Jiang Bin, his words were full of sincere pride.

Wang Ji, who came to visit his elder brother on the way, only brought a pot of fine wine and two guards.When Wang Jidao mentioned Jiang Bin's name, he only said "I have admired you for a long time".Jiang Bin is no stranger to this Datong general who should not be underestimated, but he does not have much friendship in private, and he did not expect to meet him today. Seeing his scheming appearance, he relied on Wang Ji as his eldest brother. Staring maliciously at the wine jar in Wang Xun's hand, he said, "Why is Wang Zongbing so polite..." Then he went to pick up the fine wine.Wang Xun turned sideways to avoid it, and looked at Jiang Bin who was pretending to be confused. When the smooth words came to his lips, he turned a corner: "If the Zuo Dudu wants to drink this wine, it is better to win three rounds against me first."

Jiang Bin also found it interesting to withdraw his hand: "To win three rounds, you need more than just wine."
