Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 255: Self-invited release
Although the officials are relatively soft-tempered, they have been very diligent and friendly to others after being in office for many years.

Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace were very tolerant.

Because it was he who wanted to reform the law and appointed Han Zhang as Grand Prime Minister, which made many people miss him.

Although he has now given up the idea of ​​reform, he was the one who started it after all, so he has always treated those memorials asking for reform coldly.

Even though he was troubled by Wang Anshi, he did not reprimand Wang Anshi for it, but asked Hai Wenren to persuade him.

Who knew that Wang Anshi's temper was as smelly and hard as the toilet stones, and he would not listen at all.

Concubine Rong's words inspired him. If Wang Anshi was promoted to a local official, wouldn't it make him less annoying?
To take a step back, even if Wang Anshi continued to play, he would not be able to play so frequently if he was far away.

Thinking of this, the official was very happy and said: "My beloved concubine gave me a good idea. How do you want me to reward you?"

Concubine Rong was stunned when she heard this, shook her head and said, "How can I know this? I just said casually, Your Majesty, just don't blame me for being involved in politics."

When she just opened her mouth, she was actually testing the official's attitude.

The official frowned slightly. Both King Yong's daughter and Rong Feiyan were interested in Princess Pingning's son. He had naturally heard about the rumors in Bianjing.

The concubine is afraid that the Rong family is low-ranking and that Princess Pingning will look down upon her. I would like to ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage. "After Concubine Rong finished speaking, she looked at the official family carefully.

I was having a headache, but some time ago she told me that I had fallen in love with the young prince of the Duke of Qi.

As the person next to her, how could she not know that the official family placed their hopes on her.

She never thought about deposing the current queen after her son succeeded to the throne and making her the queen mother.

Although King Yong helped Gu Yi cover up the fraud in the last examination in Yangzhou County, which made him very dissatisfied, but if he really had no heirs, he would still be more inclined to King Yong as the heir apparent.

For him, granting a marriage was just a matter of words, but he couldn't do it.

If the officials are not dissatisfied, she can take the opportunity to install some people and cultivate her own power.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but what my concubine just said does not count as political affairs. My concubine's words have solved a troublesome matter for me, and I still want a reward. Tell me, what do you want?" the official said with a smile.

But there is a queen up there, which is quite a problem.

If she is really pregnant, after a hundred years of waiting for the official family, relying on the new monarch's biological mother and the power she has cultivated, she may not be able to compete with the queen.

"Oh?" The official raised his eyebrows and did not agree directly, but said, "Tell me and listen."

This is unrealistic and the courtiers would not agree.

Everyone said that King Yan was a powerful person, but the more powerful a person was, the more he wanted to do something to prove himself after inheriting the throne.

"Your Majesty, my concubine's parents passed away early, and I still have a younger brother and sister. With your majesty's favor, I made my younger brother the deputy commander of the front department and was given a knighthood. I am not worried about him. The concubine's sister is a headache. She is already in her prime years. I wanted to help her negotiate a marriage, but it turns out that I have very high standards and I don't like this or that.

If she can really conceive a dragon son, she will definitely be more valuable than her son.

Concubine Rong just wanted to see how the officials would react if she talked about government affairs with them, given how much they favored her.

Although Concubine Rong thought it was unlikely, she still held on to some hope.

Now that he has no heirs, it would be better for him to choose between King Yong and King Yan.

She just thought that the Queen would have nothing to do with her in the future.

"Your Majesty wants a reward. It's a great favor from the Emperor, so I can't refuse it. But now that I have all the glory and wealth, I don't need anything. If Your Majesty really wants a reward, I would like to ask for a favor from Your Majesty." The concubine said.

The officials were very satisfied with the situation they had maintained after taking the throne. The Song Dynasty and Liao Xia had not fought for many years, and the world was considered peaceful.

He just hopes that the heir can maintain the current situation.

Therefore, in the minds of officials, King Yong is more suitable than King Yan.

If once the marriage is granted and King Yong succeeds to the throne, life will be difficult for the Rong family. But he couldn't tell Concubine Rong this.

Now he can delay the establishment of a reserve in the name of inspection.

Once word got out that he was interested in King Yong and the officials forced him to establish a throne, he had no excuse.

The official was silent for a long time and said: "I am as close as brother and sister to Heping Ning, so I can't force her to do anything. But I can help you ask later to see if she is willing."

When Concubine Rong saw the official's silence, she knew in her heart that the official would not agree. After hearing this, she smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll forget it if it embarrasses Your Majesty."

Just as the official was about to say something, the eunuch who just came in walked in again and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wang Duzhi said that if Your Majesty does not see him, he will be waiting outside the palace gate."

The official heard this and said angrily: "Is he trying to force the palace? Take him to Longtuge. I want to ask him what he wants to do!"

"Yes." The eunuch retreated after hearing this.

"My beloved concubine, if I have anything to do, I'll leave first." The official stood up and said.

"Your Majesty hasn't even eaten a few bites of the meal. I will personally cook some of His Majesty's favorite foods and have them delivered to Your Majesty." Concubine Rong said.

"Thank you for your hard work, concubine."

After the official finished speaking, he stopped Concubine Rong from seeing her off, got up and left the palace.

When they arrived at Longtuge, Wang Anshi hadn't arrived yet. After waiting for a while, Wang Anshi was brought in.

"Your Majesty, Wang Anshi, pays homage to your Majesty!" Wang Anshi saluted.

"Ha..." The official sneered and said, "Do you still have an official like me in your eyes? You've been waiting at the palace gate since I didn't see you. What, do you want to force me into the palace?"

Facing the angry officials, Wang Anshi said calmly: "I don't dare!"

"Don't you dare? I think you are very brave? I have asked Hai Aiqing to tell you. Now that the crown prince has not been decided, I have no intention of reform. It would be better for you to come directly to force me to marry you. Do you really think I have a good temper?" the official said coldly. road.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I know that the crown prince has not yet been decided, and your Majesty has no intention of reform. This time I seek to see your Majesty, I am not asking the government to reform." Wang Anshi said.

"Ok?"

The official was stunned and asked, "Then what did Wang Qing mean when he saw me?"

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to get angry and send Wang Anshi to the local government.

Who would have thought that Wang Anshi actually told him that he was not here to ask him to reform.

"Your Majesty, I am here to beg Your Majesty to allow me to serve as a local official," Wang Anshi said.

"Why does Wang Qing have such an idea?"

The officials were even more confused when they heard this. Could it be that Wang Anshi knew his thoughts and made such a request?

No, I only had this idea not long ago, how could Wang Anshi know about it.

Could it be that Wang Anshi was frustrated because he didn't agree?

Thinking of this, the official felt angry.

He wanted to get rid of Wang Anshi's trouble, which was completely different from Wang Anshi's request to be released.

Wang Anshi asked himself to be released, which showed that he was disappointed with himself as an official.

How did the officials accept this?

Wang Anshi didn't know what the officials were thinking, so he bowed and said: "The reform measures proposed by me are just ideas after all. I want to try them out locally and try to improve them as much as possible. When the officials want to change the law, they can be used at any time."
