Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 320 Zhao Zongquan’s caution
"Haha, then I won't bother you." Yu Xianwen smiled slightly, turned around and left.

After Xianwen left, Wang Anshi sneered: "Old fox."

"Brother Jiefu, is that the magistrate of Yuzhou?" Li An asked.

"That's right. Those county magistrates in Yuzhou who dared to defy me were supported by this person. He probably came here this time because he heard that someone from Bianjing was looking for me and came here specifically to take a look." Wang Anshi said.

Li An nodded. No wonder Wang Anshi was so unhappy after arriving in Yuzhou.

Previously, he was surprised that Wang Anshi was the general magistrate of Yuzhou after all. Even if his implementation of the Green Crop Law affected the interests of the landlords and squires in Yuzhou, these landlords and squires would not be so stubborn and directly confront him.

Now it seems that this person should be supporting those people behind the scenes.

"Brother Jiefu, don't worry. If the Young Crops Law fails, you can try other policies. Anyway, you asked for help, just to find someone to perfect what you have in mind and prepare to preside over the reform in the future." Li An said.

"Yeah." Wang Anshi nodded.

……

After finishing the meal, Wang Anshi was eager to go back and think about how to improve his business, and asked Zhao Ceying to take Li An and Gu Tingye to play in Yuzhou.

"Yuzhou is not as good as Bianjing, and there are not many interesting places. I usually study at Yingchuan Academy, so I will take you there for a walk." Zhao Ceying said.

"Most of Cao Cao's advisers in the late Han Dynasty came from Yingchuan Academy, and I have been fascinated by it for a long time." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

Zhao Ceying smiled bitterly and said: "Today's Yingchuan Academy is not the Yingchuan Academy in the late Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families monopolized books. The so-called Yingchuan Academy was actually a private school established by the aristocratic families at that time. The current Yingchuan Academy was founded in the Tang Dynasty It was established during the dynasty, but it has not produced any famous people so far.”

"Brother Zhao is a descendant of the clan, and he will naturally do something great in the future. Who dares to say that Yingchuan Academy has no famous officials in the future?" Li An said with a smile.

When Zhao Zongquan becomes emperor, Yuzhou will be his residence.

In the future, when Zhao Ceying ascends the throne, Yingchuan Academy will naturally be different.

"There are so many clans in the world, and I... forget it, let's just not mention them." Zhao Ceying said with a sad expression.

Zhao Ceying has great ambitions. If he is not from Taizu's lineage, he may still be reused in the future.

However, because he was born in the lineage of Taizu, it was destined that he would never be reused.

There is a high probability that he will inherit his father's position in the future and serve as a regiment trainer in Yuzhou.

Speaking of which, after Taizong ascended the throne, although there were great restrictions on Taizu's descendants, he did not kill them all.

However, Taizong's lineage is still very strict against Taizu's lineage.

Yuzhou is only three hundred miles away from Bianjing, which can be said to be right under your nose.

Zhao Zongquan and his son were so cautious that they did not dare to have any dealings with Yuzhou officials.

Even Wang Anshi only dared to teach Zhao Ceying and did not dare to accept him as a student.

When Gu Tingye saw this, he wanted to comfort Zhao Ceying, but he didn't know how to speak.

Although they have known each other for a short time, Zhao Ceying not only has good literary talent, but also knows some military tactics.

After some small talk during the meal, Gu Tingye had a very good impression of him.

Although Li An knew what happened in the future, he couldn't tell it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhao Ceying took the initiative to change the topic.

Li An and Gu Tingye also calmed down and started laughing with Zhao Ceying.

After a while, the carriage stopped at Yingchuan Academy.

Yingchuan Academy has been built for hundreds of years. It has only been renovated over the years without major changes. The academy still retains the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.

The academy covers an area of ​​only more than thirty acres, which is not very large.

The academy is closed today, but there are still many students staying in the academy. Some of these people came to the academy to play, and some were from the counties below Yuzhou. Xiu Mu didn't want to go back and forth, so he stayed in the academy.

Along the way, I met many students from the academy, but only a handful of them greeted Zhao Ceying.

It seems that Zhao Ceying is not very popular in the academy.

However, Gu Tingye and Li An were smart enough not to ask any more questions.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the identities of Zhao Zongquan and his son are sensitive, and Zhao Zongquan is cautious by nature. For fear of arousing suspicion in Bianjing, he did not dare to interact with Yuzhou officials at all.

This can be seen from the identities of those ministers who stayed in Yuzhou after Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne.

Except for his brother-in-law Shen Congxing, Zhao Zongquan's confidants in Yuzhou were all his subordinates, and none of them were civil servants in Yuzhou.

After strolling around Yingchuan Academy, Zhao Ceying took them to play elsewhere, and at the request of Li An and his wife, he sent them back to the inn.

……

It was already evening when Zhao Ceying returned home.

"Sir, I asked you to come back and visit the study," the concierge said.

Zhao Ceying nodded after hearing this and walked towards the study.

Arriving outside the study, Zhao Ceying bowed and said: "Father!"

"Come in." Zhao Zongquan said.

Zhao Ceying opened the door and walked in. She saluted Zhao Zongquan in front of the desk and said, "I wonder what the father's instructions are for calling the child here?"

Zhao Zongquan put down the book in his hand and said with an ugly face: "Did you go to the Tongpan Yamen again today?"

Zhao Ceying said: "Exactly!"

"boom!"

Zhao Zongquan rose up in protest and said angrily: "How many times have I told my father that Wang Anshi is now being impeached and is asking Young Master to associate with him!"

"Father!"

Zhao Ceying said in a deep voice: "When the child came to ask for advice, the teacher did not refuse. Now the teacher is impeached by the traitor. If the child cuts off the relationship, how will others treat the child?"

"Then why doesn't he accept you as his student?"

Zhao Zongquan sneered and said: "He is concerned about the status of our father and son and does not dare to accept you as a student. You are good, but you still stay so close to him for the sake of face. What if someone impeaches our father and son for wooing officials with evil intentions?"

"Father is worrying too much. We are just a powerless clan, and now we don't even have a title. How can a generous official think so?" Zhao Ceying shook his head.

"Today's officials are lenient, but what about the future? Did you know that recently there was news from Bianjing that even King Yong stood up and asked the officials to severely punish Wang Anshi? Then the chance of King Yong becoming the prince is very high. Once When he succeeds to the throne, our family will be implicated in settling old scores!" Zhao Zongquan snorted coldly.

"impossible."

Zhao Ceying shook his head and said: "Today's official sage is King Yan. Even if we have to choose the crown prince, it should be King Yan."

"What do you know?" Zhao Zongquan said coldly: "The Yongwang family are veterans of three dynasties and have many disciples and former officials. Although the Yanwang family also has a rich background, the Yanwang family are northern generals. Based on this alone, He can't become the crown prince. Do you think the civil servants in the court will allow a man whose mother's family is a general to ascend the throne? "

"But the choice of the crown prince is decided by the officials." Zhao Ceying retorted.

"If the officials could really ignore the opinions of their ministers, why did the New Deal fail?" Zhao Zongquan asked rhetorically.

"This..." Zhao Ceying didn't know how to refute this.

"Starting from tomorrow, you will go to the academy to study." Zhao Zongquan said coldly.
