Compete for the Song Dynasty

Just a few months ago, Han Jiang went to Wang's mansion and mentioned Li Shining when he talked about Lu Huiqing. It is said that this person is Wang Anshi's student. He was implicated in an old case and was imprisoned until Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister. I heard that Li Shining had Wang Pang asked Li Gefei whether this person was related to the Ayun case

Li Gefei said: "Your Majesty, I don't know something. Before Wang Xianggong returned to the prime minister, someone dug up some old cases to prevent him from returning to the prime minister. Among them was the Dengzhou Ayun case, which was said to be an unfair punishment. At that time, Ayun had already married. It was because Li Shining's concubine found out the old case, and Li Shining hid Ayun while saying the above."

Wang Pang frowned slightly: "Is there any reason to go back on a case that has been judged? Li Shining is justified by human feelings."

"Later, Li Shining was exposed by someone. It's ridiculous to think that he was exposed by his ex-wife out of jealousy. So Ayun was escorted back to the capital for a retrial, and Li Shining was also demoted and imprisoned."

"Ah, what happened next"[

"Later, of course, Wang Xianggong learned about this matter after he returned to the prime minister and told the emperor, so Li Shining was let go of the matter, but Li Shining has been living at home for a long time, a dignified scholar, and now he only ends up teaching to make a living."

"This is not right, since it has been terminated, the official should be reinstated"

Li Gefei said: "I also persuaded him to come in the same way, but he already wanted to be an official. This time I just met him when I came back from the capital, and I mentioned you, my lord. relieved"

Wang Pang thought that this person was unlucky enough, so he agreed: "I was also responsible for the Ayun case that caused a sensation in the capital at that time, and the emperor was present at the time.

Li Gefei smiled wryly: "My lord, you forgot that the law of the world can only be based on the emperor's order. The reason why the prime minister resigned is not because the emperor's appointment is not firm. After the Ayun case, all controversial cases will be tried in public. After all, is it the emperor's decision?" After all, those who were on the jury said what they said. Dali Temple has many complaints. The Ministry of Justice has many complaints. Even the emperor feels that the emperor’s prestige has been damaged. Although the Ayun case is small, it can be said that it is a dispute between various ministries and a dispute over the legal system."

Wang Pang nodded: "After all, the problem is still with these people who are in power, but it's outrageous to use the common people to make a knife. I don't know what happened to Li Shining and Ayun couple now."

"It's tragic to say that the two originally had a daughter, but Li Shining's original partner was really jealous. Ayun died of illness. On the way, Li Shining was imprisoned. The original partner actually gave away the daughter to someone who didn't know her whereabouts. This person is really unlucky. I think it's really unlucky. This person is quite talented, so I told the prince that if there is someone in the palace, I would like to trouble the prince to take care of him."

Wang Pang knows that Li Gefei has never bothered anyone about his own affairs. Today he specifically mentioned Li Shining to see that he still has a fancy to Li Shining.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wen, I'm going to Dengzhou too, you just need to tell me how to find him"

After staying in Yunzhou for two or three days, Wang Pang and others went straight to Dengzhou. Dengzhou is located at the northernmost tip of the Jiaodong Peninsula, close to Bo, Huang Erhai and Korea across the sea. I happened to disembark here in Dengzhou when I came back from the expedition to Korea with the prince. What's more, I saw Haishi that day.

Shi Qian has never heard of the term sea city, let alone seeing the sea city, which is what later generations call a mirage. Wu Ling told Shi Qian that they looked back at Koryo from the sea, and there were clouds and mist rising from the sea. The scenery of terraces and pavilions, city walls, battlements, figures, and the time of carriages and horses are almost dumbfounding, and even more amazed.

The three of them entered Zhoucheng and found a posthouse to live in. Shiqian waited for Wang Pang to take a bath and change his clothes, then called the store clerk to wash the changed clothes, and followed Wang Pang's instructions to find him at the address given by Li Gefei. Li Shining

Wang Pang and others chatted with Kung Fu and Wu Ling about the Qinghe County incident. Wang Pang asked: "When Sun Qian came to me that day, I thought he was a strange person. How did he start this casino? Business"

Wu Ling said: "I just heard that this old man Sun was fond of gambling when he was young, and then he traveled to the capital and owed a large amount of gambling debts, so he hid himself. Who knew that the person who won him would chase him to his house and see that he was not evil. Daqi forced his wife to death and harmed his eldest daughter. When he returned home, both mother and daughter committed suicide. From then on, he changed his past and saved some money. Later, he heard that his enemy was from Qinghe County, so he came to Qinghe County. He opened a gambling house just to wait for his enemy"

"Why didn't you report to the official?" Wang Pang asked casually and laughed

But Wu Ling replied seriously: "It was originally a grievance among the people. The mother and daughter died and confronted each other. Sometimes the people prefer to think of ways to solve it by themselves when they can't count on the government. The result is not revenge. Even if the old man wanted revenge, he didn't want to let it go. The government "intervened" but he was too unlucky to come to Qinghe County for so long and the enemy didn't come back."

"Oh, who is his enemy?"

"My lord, you really asked the right person. The man named Liu Yishou has disappeared for many years. He used to be the number one gambler in Qinghe County. Later, when I was on a business trip to deal with a case in another state, I happened to meet that man. At that time, he got out of a gambling game and his hand was chopped off. Later, the local government wanted to bring bad luck to the gambling house for this matter. Who knew that Liu Yishou didn’t cooperate with the government and sneaked away on his own. I don’t know where he went afterwards.”

Wang Bun said: "It's considered that he is smart. If he cooperates with the government and goes out, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of missing a hand." [

Wu Ling said: "I think it's good if he doesn't go back to Qinghe County. If he does, he's still dead."

The two people were talking, when Shi Qian came back, there was a person behind him: "My lord, the person you want to meet is here." Wang Pang hurriedly got up to greet him, and the person who came across was a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s. Wearing a wide shirt sewn directly from coarse cloth, it looked a little shabby. Seeing Wang Pang hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I never thought that it is really an honor for the prince to come to see Li Mou Li."

Wang Pang hurriedly gave up his seat and said, "Brother Li, you don't have to be polite. I thought about it a long time ago, but the busy schedule has delayed me for a while."

Li Shining said: "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I bother the prince to worry about the past few days when I heard that the prince is going to go to the state, so I wanted to meet the prince to do my best to be a landlord."

Wang Pang smiled: "You are my father's student, and you and I are predestined." After finishing the order, Shiqian went to arrange a banquet for Li Shining Li Shining got up quickly and said: "I don't dare to take it for granted. I just want to greet the prince and ask about the situation of the teacher by the way."

"Father Shanghao now buys land and builds temples in Jiangning Prefecture, worships Buddha and cleanses himself like an outsider"

Li Shining smiled: "My mentor is different from ordinary people. Now that he has seen through the world, he must be more extraordinary. If this is the case, then I can rest assured and leave now."

"Hey, why did you leave just now?" Seeing his expression, Wang Pang hurriedly asked with a smile

Li Shining hesitated for a while and then said: "I see that the prince is still in the old teacher's old friend, and now I can't bear to have the prince entertain me."

Wang Pang laughed and said, "Why are you not generous at all? It's rare that Li Gefei keeps praising you."

"Why did Instructor Li mention me?"

"He didn't mention you, how could I see you? Li Gefei told me you. If Brother Li, you don't mind, would you be willing to work in the palace?" Wang Pang said very directly. Father's students are never too bad

Li Shining looked at the king and shook his head: "My lord, forgive me, it's hard to follow my orders."

"Oh why?" Now the king is a little curious. Although he returned to the capital and did not seek an official position, he has a certain reputation and influence both in the court and among the people. People who want to seek refuge in the palace will definitely come in an endless stream as long as the gate of the palace is open. Why does this Li Shining refuse to

Li Shining smiled wryly: "My lord, I was once a guilty person and I have a chest. How can I work in the palace?"

Wang Pang looked at Li Shining carefully: "Brother Li didn't mean what he said."

Li Shining was surprised: "My lord, how did you know?"

Wang Pang has already seen through Li Shining from the moment he entered the door. He looks humble and humble, but he is a little arrogant in his bones. If not, he would not have abandoned his official position for many years. door guard

Li Shining looked at his face in a daze: "My lord has something to say to me."

"I have, I want to hear from you," Wang Pang said lightly

"This..." Li Shining hesitated for a moment, then raised his head, Wang Pang was looking at him, his eyes were bright and sharp, but he really had an encouraging expression. Although this was the first time he saw Wang Pang, he felt that there was something behind Wang Pang's seemingly young face. Deep and mature, Wang Pang’s words seemed vaguely indisputable. He summoned up his courage and said, “My lord, you know my experience. In fact, I’m also grateful for the lord’s saving Ayun. Those things that will come out later, but this incident also made me see clearly that the officialdom is not a struggle for rights, and anyone can become a pawn or a victim of this struggle. Hurry up, this is also the reason why I abandoned my official position for many years.”

When Wang Pang saw him say these words, he changed from the sluggish expression he had when he first arrived

"What else?" asked Wang Pang

Li Shining glanced at the king: "If I tell you the truth, I hope the prince will forgive me."

"But it doesn't matter"

"The other thing is that I don't want to be a person in the prince's house. Back then, Wang Xianggong had many discussions with the prince about innovation. The prince left without saying goodbye for more than ten years. It was all a teacher and a manpower to reject all opinions. Now that the prince returned, he didn't talk about restoring the new law. Instead, he wanted to help the emperor refine some elixir for the world. People continue to say that Wang Xianggong’s new law is harmful to the country. I am sorry to disagree with this practice.”
