The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Even though they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it.

No one is allowed to offend the majesty of the emperor.

But soon, these nobles calmed down and began to think one by one.

Wang Ziteng is from the same lineage as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Even if they are not on the same side, with this background, it is not impossible for them to arrange some young sons in their families to go to Yangzhou to suppress the remaining bandits and gain some military merits!

Thinking of this, many people began to think about how this matter should be carried out.

After decisively deciding to suppress the bandits in Yangzhou,

Emperor Xinglong immediately announced the adjournment of the court, leaving all the civil and military officials in the court with solemn expressions.

……

In the city of Shenjing, in the Wang family’s mansion in Shenjing, in the palace.

Wang Ziteng was sighing in the garden with his hands behind his back.

Since Wang Ziteng was summoned to Shenjing by Emperor Xinglong, he has never been summoned by Emperor Xinglong.

This made him very uneasy.

His decision now is almost to place all his bets on Emperor Xinglong, and the future of the Wang family is at stake.

Even before entering the capital, he had a vague suspicion that the emperor was planning to use him to split the lineage of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and seize the position of commander of the Beijing camp.

After thinking that he had seen through Emperor Xinglong's intentions, Wang Ziteng was extremely excited.

Although such behavior will get rid of the rejection of the four kings and eight dukes.

However, as the Jia family has relatives in the Rong and Ning mansions of Shenjing, Wang Ziteng is still quite confident that he can serve as the commander of the Beijing camp.

This is the commander of the Beijing camp!

In addition, Wang Ziteng has a long-term vision. What he is betting on is not the present of the Wang family, but the future of the Wang family.

After all, the emperor is very old!

But sooner or later, this world will be handed over to Emperor Xinglong.

When Emperor Xinglong takes control of power in the future, why would his Wang family worry about not being able to prosper for several more decades?

However, Wang Ziteng came to Beijing with great expectations and ambitions.

Except for the day when he entered the capital, Emperor Xinglong asked him to stay in the capital and wait for the summons.

Nearly a month has passed and there has been no movement.

Wang Ziteng was getting a little impatient, thinking that he had not visited the Jia family since coming to Beijing. He was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, wondering whether he should visit the Jia family today.

Just as he was thinking about this, a servant suddenly came running in hurriedly.

"Master! The angel from the palace has arrived!"

Wang Ziteng's expression changed drastically when he heard this, then turned into great joy, and then regained some composure.

He instructed his servants,

"Open the main door immediately and set up the incense table. I'll change my clothes and go right away!"

"Yes, sir!"

The servant left in a hurry.

Wang Ziteng felt refreshed at this moment, without any trace of his previous worries.

After quickly changing into the formal court robes and taking the men in the family with them,

He walked quickly to the incense table set up in the front yard.

Then he saw Dai Quan, dressed in eunuch robes, standing in the yard.

Wang Ziteng hurried forward and bowed to Dai Quan who came to convey the imperial edict.

"Eunuch Dai!"

Dai Quan smiled gently.

"No need to be so polite, Lord Wang!"

Then he stood up straight and spoke to Wang Ziteng in a hoarse voice.

"There is an imperial decree! Jinling Garrison Commander Wang Ziteng receives the order!"

Wang Ziteng and his group immediately knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Wang Ziteng accepts the order!"

Dai Quan looked at Wang Ziteng, who looked respectful, and nodded with a smile.

Then the imperial edict was opened and read.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: ... Wang Ziteng, loyal and courageous, is hereby ordered to go to Nanjing and take command of the Imperial Guards, with full authority over the suppression of bandits. No mistakes are allowed! This is my decree!"

After hearing the decree, Wang Ziteng was slightly surprised.

What's going on? Wasn't he supposed to be the governor of the Beijing camp?

How did he become the commander-in-chief of Nanjing and get involved in suppressing bandits?

Furthermore, using a Jinling general and the Jinling guards to suppress bandits is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
