Chapter 155: Attempted Counterattack
"Brother Yang, thank you very much this time!"
After coming out of the palace, Wang Bing did not return to Yulin immediately. Instead, he came to the "Da Ming Royal Daily" newspaper office also established in Xiyuan.
"I don't dare to treat my uncle as a big gift, but I have never done anything like this, haha!"
"Brother Yang, don't worry. Once you take out the sample report, His Majesty will know that it was you who gave it to me, haha!"
Seeing Yang Rong's cautious look, Wang Bing smiled nonchalantly.
"Uncle Guo, you are causing trouble to this slave. If I had known, I would not have reported this news to Uncle Guo!"
As soon as the little fat man knew that the letter was from him to Wang Bing, Yang Rong couldn't help complaining to Wang Bing with a wry smile. You know, since ancient times, it has been a taboo in the palace for an internal servant to make friends with foreign ministers!
"Don't worry, brother, the relationship between us is aboveboard, what are you afraid of? Look at Eunuch Feng, who in the whole court doesn't know that he has a close relationship with Master Zhang? Besides, His Majesty has asked you to call him a 'subject', you
What kind of chamberlain are you?"
It turned out that since the success of the "Da Ming Royal Daily", the little fat man was so happy that in addition to giving Yang Rong a slanted python robe, he also gave him the honor of being called a "chen".
"How can a slave be compared with Eunuch Feng! Besides, although the title of minister is an honor bestowed by His Majesty, a slave cannot forget his origins. He should never forget his duty!"
In response to Wang Bing's consolation, Yang Rong still solemnly shook his head.
"Brother, it seems that your work as the president of the newspaper is not in vain! Just say this to you, your future achievements will not be small!"
"Uncle Guo, thank you for the award. It's just that there is less intrigue in the palace and your mind is clearer!"
Regarding Wang Bing's praise, Yang Rong couldn't help but shook his head with emotion.
"Haha, brother, you don't have to be too humble. As long as you help His Majesty run this newspaper in a down-to-earth manner, not to mention Eunuch Feng, in the future, even if you compare with the Sanbao Eunuch back then, you won't be any worse!"
"Haha, Uncle Guo didn't come to the newspaper office today just to praise my slaves, right?"
Seeing that Wang Bing actually compared his own running of this newspaper to the eunuch Sanbao's patrol of the West on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Rong thought he was just joking, but he didn't believe it at all.
"Brother, I came here today. Firstly, I came to say thank you. Secondly, I also wanted to publish something in the newspaper!"
While talking, Wang Bing took out several pieces of paper filled with handwriting and handed them to Yang Rong.
"Uncle Guo, what are you doing? How do you know this is..."
After taking what Wang Bing was about to publish and only taking a few glances at it, Yang Rong couldn't help but look surprised.
"Hey, I guessed it!"
Seeing Yang Rong's surprised expression, Wang Bing immediately became more sure that his guess was correct.
Just kidding, with Yang Rong's current position in the little fat man's heart, the only person in the entire inner court who could allow him to report the news to him so cautiously was Feng Bao.
"Uncle Guo, are you sure you really want to do this? Eunuch Feng said this was done under the orders of the Empress Dowager Cisheng!"
Just when Wang Bing was convinced of his guess, he didn't expect another Merciful Queen Mother to pop up from Yang Rong's mouth.
"The Empress Dowager Cisheng?"
Wang Bing, who was frowning, couldn't help but be confused when he heard that the incident against him was actually ordered by Queen Mother Li.
You must know that it was the Empress Dowager Li who summoned her from the Imperial Academy to serve as an attendant to the little fat man. Why was the Empress Dowager Li suddenly targeting her now?
'Could it be?'
While he was wondering, Wang Bing suddenly remembered his 'domineering' behavior in the palace that day.
'Is that just because of this?'
Thinking of the cause of the incident, Wang Bing couldn't help but smile helplessly.
I had no choice but to think that this was just Feng Bao's handiwork, but I didn't expect that the person behind it was Empress Dowager Li!
The incident involving the Queen Mother, if the counterattack and retaliation method he originally prepared were actually implemented, not only would it not be effective, but it would also rekindle the fire that had been extinguished, and even burn himself.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it!"
After thinking about this clearly, Wang Bing could only reluctantly take back the pieces of paper from Yang Rong and tore them into pieces in a few strokes.
"Judging from the look on my face, I must have already contacted His Majesty! From my perspective, since the matter has been resolved, it would be better to end it here. After all..."
"I don't have to worry about not being intimate! Thank you Brother Yang for reminding me again. Otherwise, brother, I would have really gotten into trouble this time, haha!"
Although she felt unwilling to do so, the Queen Mother was still the Queen Mother after all. It was impossible for her to embarrass the little fat man who was extremely filial to her mother over such a "little thing" that had not caused any actual loss to her.
"Uncle Guo, to be disrespectful, although the Queen Mother is now... Your Majesty is already an adult, so in the future, Your Majesty will naturally make the final decision on major national affairs. As long as Guojiu's holy family does not decline, why worry about anything else?"
Seeing Wang Bing's helpless look, Yang Rong suddenly lowered his voice and began to persuade him.
…
"If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to see China fall again and the Han people wear all their clothes, I wouldn't bother to be an official like you!"'
After returning from the newspaper office, Wang Bing couldn't help but angrily mutter to himself.
"Third brother, what are you muttering about? Why, are you being scolded? Hehe!"
Just when Wang Bing returned to Yulinwei's residence, Qi Panzong appeared out of nowhere and said with a gloating smile.
"you've been drinking?"
Smelling the alcohol odor emanating from Qi Panzong's body, Wang Bing, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but frown.
"Hehe, I took a sip, just a sip!"
Seeing that Wang Bing found out, Qi Panzong couldn't help but laugh.
"Get forty, no, sixty military sticks yourself!"
"No, Third Brother, I really just took a sip!"
When he heard that he was to be punished with sixty military sticks, even the thick-skinned Qi Panzong couldn't help but beg for mercy with a grimace on his face.
"One more bite? That's half a pound, right?"
Glancing at Qi Panzong, who was laughing endlessly, Wang Bing couldn't help but have a look of ridicule on his face.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have sent you a letter!"
Seeing that there was no way to avoid these sixty military sticks, Qi Panzong couldn't help but muttered and threw a letter on Wang Bing's desk, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Sister Nanwei gave it to me?"
Looking at the familiar slender font on the envelope, Wang Bing couldn't help but feel happy. The previous depression of not being able to fight back due to being plotted by others was instantly gone by him.
"For Sister Nanwei's sake, forty military sticks, no more!"
