Chapter 214 Happy Wang Anshi

Huanglu's invitation to the county will naturally not be approved.

However, the impeachment from Yushitai will not stop.

So the next day, Huang Lu continued to invite the county, and his words were more humble.

Then he continued to be retained, and the two palaces said a lot of good things about Huang Lu in the imperial edict.

However, the more this is the case, the more violent the siege from Yushitai will be!

Finally, on the seventh day of July, when Huang Lu petitioned the county for the third time, his request was approved.

Longtuge's direct bachelor, middle doctor, and censor Zhongcheng Huang Luba knew about Yuezhou.

With Huang Lu being dismissed, Huang Jiang being demoted, and Jian Xuchen self-destructing, cracks finally appeared in Yushitai, which has been controlled by the New Party since the eighth year of Xining.

Ministers with old party colors began to take advantage of the Yushitai.

Moreover, the next Yushi Zhongcheng is also very likely to be selected from the old party ministers.

Gentlemen and gentlemen in the world celebrate each other with crowns.

It is said that Sima Guang, who lived in Chenzhou, was so happy that he added a dish to the meal in the evening after learning about it.

However, the old party officials were not happy for long.

On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, news came from Daming Mansion.

The elder, the envoy of the Ruwu Army, the captain of the school inspection, and the left-behind Wang Gongchen of Daming Mansion in Beijing are seriously ill!
His son asked to go to Luoyang, Xijing for medical treatment, and the two palaces were worried that he would die on the way.

Therefore, it was not approved, but as usual, the imperial physician was sent for consultation and given the imperial medicine.

Wang Gongchen was seriously ill, which immediately brought back the memories of many people in Bianjing.

Many old events of the Qingli New Deal were recalled.

Zhao Xu pretended not to know about this matter and said nothing.

In private, Zhao Xu even asked Feng Jing to add an extra dish to celebrate that night!
For Zhao Xu, Wang Gongchen, an old man, is as good as Wang Gui!
Because of this old thing, what he did in the past has always made Zhao Xu despise him.

Even the old party is looked down upon by many people!

During the Qingli New Deal, this old guy first tried every means to denounce Fan Zhongyan's good friend Teng Zijing.

Not satisfied with being demoted, he actually threatened Renmiao.

Teng Zijing must be demoted painfully, otherwise, he will stay behind closed doors.

Afterwards, he caught Du Yan's son-in-law Su Shunqin's small mistake, and wiped out the entire Xinzheng Group with a single point.

Xining reform, he is still the front of the anti-reform faction.

At the same time, he is also one of the nine founding elders of the Luoyang Senior Citizens Association, and he himself organized a meeting for the same year in Daming Mansion.

All the above are enough to prove that this old thing belongs to the stone in the latrine, it is smelly and hard!
He is against all change, against all change.

reason?

He is originally from Kaifeng Prefecture and is the number one scholar in Kaifeng Prefecture!
He is the spokesperson for the interests of Kaifeng households and powerful people!
Just look at his mansion in Bianjing City, the surplus threshold is three hundred, and the inside and outside are six layers!
This is not a house bestowed by the emperor, but a residential house and land bought by him with his own money and expanded.

In Bianjing City, there is no way to think about such a mansion without a millionaire.

This is just the money for buying land and houses, and the construction of the mansion is not included.

Here comes the question, where did Wang Gongchen get his money?

Therefore, it would be strange for Zhao Xu to be pleasing to his eyes.

……

Just when the news of Wang Gongchen's serious illness reached Bianjing City.

Cheng Yi finally entered Bianjing City.

Before Cheng Yi entered Beijing, he changed his way to Chenzhou and visited Sima Guang.

Talked with Sima Guang at night by candlelight, and heard Sima Guang tell a lot about the young master's deeds.

From Sima Guang's mouth, Cheng Yi learned that the young lord's demeanor and demeanor "almost resembles that of his ancestors", and his handsome appearance is "as if he is a king in the present age, and he really has the wisdom of a holy lord".

As a result, Cheng Yi was even more disturbed.

He recalled the exhortations of his late brother, and stroked the book "Knowledge of Benevolence" entrusted to him by Cheng Hao at the end of his life, so he felt a little trembling.

Therefore, Cheng Yi decided to visit Wen Yanbo's house first, and then go to the residences of Zhang Fangping, Sun Gu, Han Jiang, Lu Gongzhu and others.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yi went to Wen Mansion to hand over a greeting card, but was not received by Wen Yanbo.

Only Wen Yanbo's son Wen Zong came forward, chatted with him for a while, and then told him that Yan's family was ill and it was inconvenient to see guests.

Cheng Yi didn't know why, so he had to excuse himself.

It wasn't until he arrived at Zhang Fangping's residence that he really knew the reason.

"Wen Kuanfu, an old man, sent a granddaughter to the palace!"

"He is trying to make the Wen family's daughter a queen!"

After Cheng Yi heard it, he was shocked: "Grand Master Wen, actually sent his granddaughter into the palace?! This makes the Wen family into relatives!"

There is a wall between foreign relatives and scholar-bureaucrats.

Foreign relatives can only be rich and noble, and at most act as thugs for the emperor.

But not a single word can be discussed about major national affairs.

Otherwise, you will be beaten violently by the scholar-officials!
The political status of each other is completely unequal!
Once a relative is caught, the pressure from the imperial censor and the government and the public is enough to make people depressed.

What about the prime minister?
Even if you do something wrong, it's nothing more than a trip around the place.

Since Xining, gentlemen and gentlemen have been demoted so much, didn't they all become veterans and ministers in the end?
Try another relative and do something wrong? !

Gao Zunyu lost his teacher in Lingzhou and was beaten to the end. He had a stroke recently and was kindly ordered to recover.

And Han Jiang attacked Luowu City back then and made such a big mess, so he can still worship the prime minister more than ten years later.

When Zhang Fangping saw Cheng Yi's dazed look, he knew what Cheng Yi was thinking?
Immediately, he began to tease: "Uncle Zheng is wondering why Wen Kuanfu is like this?"

Cheng Yi subconsciously nodded.

Zhang Fangping laughed loudly and said: "It's not that the descendants are not up to date, but they want to maintain the wealth of his Wen family!"

"Back then, Xiang Wenjian's father saw that his sons were mediocre and worried about the future, so when his mother died, he secretly buried his mother in a piece of alchemy without telling others. Cave, in the common people's vegetable field of Concubine Zhixiang!"

"In my opinion, Mrs. Wen Kuan has lost his mother now, otherwise he might follow suit!"

Cheng Yi listened and couldn't help laughing.

He has also heard of this case.

It is said that back then, Xiang's family not only buried their mother quietly, but also did it at night when no one was doing it.

As a result, that commoner went to his vegetable field at dawn to have a look—yo!
There is an extra grave, what's going on?

Naturally, he quit, and got into a quarrel with the Xiang family, and the lawsuit went to Kaifeng Mansion.

The case was finally settled by the then Kaifeng Prefecture Prince Jin and later Emperor Taizong - he ordered Xiang's family to compensate the vegetable farmers ten times the price of their land, and Xiang's family was never allowed to damage other people's vegetable plots outside the tomb.

After all, people have buried them all, so can they still be dug out?

Isn't this forcing people to do unfilial things?
It is said that Xiang Wenjian was born the year after his grandmother was buried.

Now, all the land around the Xiang family's ancestral grave has been purchased by the Xiang family.

The Xiang family even built a temple near their ancestral grave to worship Bodhisattvas, and invited eminent monks to chant scriptures and pray for blessings day and night.

This matter is now well known in Bianjing city - the Xiang family really has a queen!

Even the business of the Feng Shui gentlemen in Bianjing City has improved a lot.

Every year, some people think about burying their dead ancestors in auspicious places, and bless their descendants to become prime ministers, concubines, and empresses.

At worst, it's great to have a Jinshi!

After Cheng Yi finished laughing, he bowed to Zhang Fangping and asked: "Jie Du is above, now the young master is in court, the two palaces are in charge of the government, and the collection is below to tell the story of Ji Ying Hall..."

"I am so frightened that my late brother wrote a suicide note before his death, recommending me to be the young master's banquet officer... and explained many things..."

Cheng Yi told Zhang Fangping exactly what his deceased brother asked him to do when he was dying.

After listening to this, Zhang Fangping sighed with emotion: "Bo Chun is a true gentleman. He cares about the country and the people. There are not many people in this generation who can match it!"

Then he said to Cheng Yi: "I think what Bo Chun said is very good!"

It happens that both palaces are suffering from headaches, what book will the young master read in the future?I am even more afraid that the young master will read Wang Anshi's memorials by himself.

So it is said that almost overnight, while the young master was asleep, all the memorials, books, and articles signed by Wang Anshi in Funing Hall were sent to Chongwen Academy.

He even issued a death order to the officials of the Chongwen Academy-if the official wants to take any text related to Wang Anshi, he must first ask the old body and the empress dowager for instructions, and only after the old body and the empress dowager's order can he make a dedication!

However, these can only be prevented for a while, not forever!
The young master is so smart and has almost a photographic memory!

As he grows up day by day, he becomes more confident and mature day by day.

Sooner or later, he will truly rule the world.

At that time, who can stop him from reading Wang Anshi's book?

Even, he recalled Wang Anshi.

Who can stop it?Can it be stopped?
Son of Heaven, supreme!Imperial power, no taboos!
In the early years of Xining, Emperor Shenzong forcibly started the reform despite the unanimous opposition from both inside and outside the court and from his relatives outside the clan!

From Xining to Yuanfeng, no one could stop or persuade him!

This is imperial power!
As long as the emperor shows that he can hold power and have the ability to govern alone.

It's hard not to withdraw the curtains in the two palaces!
What's more, how could the two palaces not be in love with each other?

The Empress Dowager Xiang wished that the young master would grow up and be in charge sooner!

Then she can live in the palace for the rest of her life!
The empress dowager probably dare not, let alone occupy power.

The Gao family and the Xiang family are now pointing to the young master's future to be in charge of the government, so that they and their descendants will continue to be rich!
Therefore, Cheng Hao's suggestion is indeed the only feasible way now.

Blocking is worse than sparse!
Therefore, Zhang Fangping said to Cheng Yi: "Nowadays, Mr. Wen Kuan or anyone else probably dare not and will not talk about this matter!"

"The old man has nothing to worry about!"

In this life, he has all the honors he deserves, and the treatment he deserves is quite a lot.

The children and grandchildren are also filial and sensible, although they don't look like they can be officials.

But where can everything go well?

Now half of the loess is buried up to his neck.

Naturally, he didn't care about the discussions, accusations and attacks on him by other ministers of the old party.

Zhang Fangping knew that this might be the only solution now!

Use Li Gou to cure Wang Anshi's poison!

"Uncle Zheng!" He looked at Cheng Yi and said seriously: "This old man wants to report to the two palaces what Uncle Zheng said about Bo Chun's death... Would Uncle Zheng be willing to attach it?"

Cheng Yi naturally had no objection, and was even very moved. He immediately saluted and said, "Excellent virtue and righteousness, I would like to thank him on behalf of my dead brother!"

Zhang Fangping laughed: "Uncle Zheng, don't be too polite!"

"It's the old man who should thank Bochun!"

"If it wasn't for Bo Chun, there might be no solution to this matter for a while!"

In order to find a way to solve this trouble, since July, the Jingyan has been suspended.

The rhetoric for the official family is naturally - the gentlemen are discussing to re-select classics for the official family.

The reality is that a group of people are scratching their heads and ears in front of the two palaces every day, trying to figure out how to reasonably and legally prevent the emperor from reading Wang Anshi's books and things!
……

Jiangning, Baoning Temple in Banshan Garden.

Wang Anshi, dressed in plain clothes, received another letter from Bianjing.

The letter was from Lu Xizhe, he opened it leisurely, and then looked at the things Lu Xizhe described in the letter.

Wang Anshi finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Han Zihua, Uncle Lu Hui..."

"You guys have today too!"

The entire Baoning Temple was startled by Wang Anshi's laughter.

The servants of the Wang family and the monks in the monastery all heard the laughter, but no one dared to disturb them. They could only gather together from a distance and talk to each other.

Wang Anshi put down the letter, thinking about what Lv Xizhe said in the letter, the young master was reading his words, and he also used the words as a reference to read through the "Shangshu".

Wang Anshi looked at Bianjing.

Then he sighed, the young master is too young!
His health has not been very good these years.

I don't know if I can survive until the day when the young master takes charge!
But no matter what, Jing Guogong is very happy today!
After the unfortunate early death of his beloved son Wang Lu, this was his happiest day!
Therefore, Wang Anshi began to look forward to the next letter from Bianjing!
　Note: The story of Xiang's family burying their mother at night was recorded in many notes of the Song Dynasty. Among them, Wu Zeng's "Neng Gai Zhai Man Lu" describes it most vividly and in detail, and even the details are vividly described.

　　Note 2: According to historical facts, Wang Gongchen entered the Zhangwu Army Jiedushi in May, but now this position is given to Zhang Fangping, so he is still the Ruwu Army Jiedushi.
