Compete for the Song Dynasty

Just when Wang Pang was anxious about solving the emergency of burning coal, he heard that there was a coal yard outside the Weizhou Gate in the north of the capital, where the coal privately pressed by the household officials surnamed Qin was stored, and the privately seized coal was enough for the capital. It is used by the common people for one winter.That is to say, the person surnamed Qin is going to sell this part of coal at a high price for profit, which is really a way out of heaven and earth.

Lu Shenyan led Yu Danian and Ruan Xing out, and then heard the servant report that King Ying had arrived.Wang Pang didn't expect Zhongzhen to come so fast, he said please, and after a while Zhao Zhongzhen brought Zhe Kejun and others to the hall.After greeting each other, an eleven or twelve-year-old child ran out from behind them. He was actually dressed as a young eunuch, calling for his father and rushing towards the king.

Wang Pang was startled, isn't this Tong Xiao?Now that the child has grown a lot taller, Wang Pang couldn't hold it anymore, he squatted down and hugged Tong Xiao, the child burst into tears.Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were slightly red.Tong Xiao cried because she saw her relatives, and she cried again that her godmother was gone.

His crying caused Wang Pang to misunderstand that the child had been cleaned, so he hurriedly reached out to touch Tong Xiao's crotch, but luckily everything he needed was still there.Tong Xiao looked at Wang Pang strangely: "Godfather, what are you doing?" Everyone secretly laughed when they saw this

"Inspect the goods! How do you get to recognize the master?! You kid! Go change your clothes and come back to talk to your godfather." Seeing that Tong Xiao was still in hologram, Wang Bang said to himself that it's okay and there is still a chance Don't let Tong Xiao become an eunuch. [

Tong Xiao responded, and turned to look for Yan Zhihu, Wang Pang said to Zhong Zhen: "Thank you King Ying for thinking about this matter, now I feel much more at ease."

Zhao Zhongzhen was also one of the people who secretly laughed just now, he put away his smile and said: "Brother, please don't be happy, do you know that Tong Guan is only coming back temporarily? This child's name change and apprenticeship are all Yi's decrees, and the Queen Mother's decree cannot be easily changed. .If Brother Ruo really doesn't like this matter, we have to find another way."

When Wang Pang heard that he had committed a problem, how could the queen mother's decree be easily changed, but now that the child is still young, this matter can only be discussed in a long-term way: "Since he has not purified himself, I heard that the queen mother also allowed him to give him a chance to make his own decisions when he grows up. , that can only be the case for the time being.”

Wang Pang asked Zhong Zhen to take a seat, and Zhong Zhen said, "Brother Ruo, the reason I came here in such a hurry is that after today, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my brother for some time."

"How do you say that?" Wang Pang asked hastily.

Zhongzhen explained: "Nowadays, there are more than [-] children of the Zhao Song clan who have the title of deputy leader or above, but there are only six clan instructors. The father thinks: If there are no excellent teachers, then the Zhao Song clan's children will not be good." He will not be diligent and motivated. Therefore, Song Yingzong ordered the addition of clan professors. The father also told the prime minister Han Qi that the clan's children were most afraid of abandoning their studies halfway, and specially asked Zhongshu Sheren to draft an imperial edict and convey it to each clan family. "

Wang Pang nodded and said, "This is a good thing."

Zhong Zhen smiled slightly: "Father has good intentions, he just called me and my brothers to Wenhua Hall to specialize in studies and be supervised by a full-time professor. There will be an assessment in two months. I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave the palace during this time. It just so happens that elder brother is also going to invite the two elders to dress up in the tomb, so I said that I am afraid I cannot go with elder brother this time."

Wang Pang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Zhong Zhen kept holding back to travel with him, he would be in real trouble. "That's good too. When I come back in two or three months, we brothers will have a good reunion."

Zhong Zhen didn't think much about it, the matter in Wang's mansion was almost settled, the repairs that needed to be repaired, the investigation that needed to be investigated.Although there was no result, when Wang Pang came back, he didn't mean to complain about his father and the court, and he treated himself as before, so Zhong Zhen was relieved a lot.He stood up and said to Zhe Kejun and the others: "Since Wang Shilang is back, I can also see that your hearts are flying. How about it, I can't bring more guards when I enter the palace tomorrow. You should stay and listen." Sent by the Queen's servant."

Zhe Kejun and the others were overjoyed when they heard it, and they hurriedly handed Xie Zhongzhen over. Zhongzhen smiled and said to Wang Pang: "These guys always mutter behind their backs, wishing to go back to work at Brother Ruo's house. What kind of ecstasy soup. My treatment in Prince Ying's Mansion is not bad. Haha!"

Wang Pang was very happy, these are his hard-core go-getters, but he hesitated a little: "Thank you guys, but I, Wang Pang, have submitted my resignation today, if the court approves, I will not be a servant, so naturally I don't need bodyguards. How can I afford to follow me?..."

"Wang Shilang, Wang Gongzi, these two titles are the same for us, we brothers, as long as we can follow you." Zhang Ping reacted the fastest and said loudly.

Wang Pang complained in his heart, but luckily Zhong Zhen was not the character of his emperor's father, and Zhao Zhong trusted him very much, otherwise these people were so loyal, and Zhao Shu, who was narrow-minded, must have become a thorn in his side again; I'm kind of fortunate to have so many good brothers who have gone through life and death, so what regrets do I have.

Wang Pang intends to make these people's official careers smooth, it is obvious that Zhongzhen is not in the right place now, and these people are not yet ready to play. Seeing that Wang Pang does not use Zhongzhen, he smiled and said: "Brother, why are you so determined, you are an official and get a salary They are bodyguards who are paid by officials, but if you are not an official, they will follow you to pay their wages, what's so difficult about that?"

"Okay, then I'll stop being disrespectful. Thank you all for your love. If one day I can't get along with Wang Pang, you can still go to King Ying, and King Ying will definitely take care of you!" Wang Pang said politely.

Zhong also had a very good impression of these people. He liked these generals in his heart, but he also knew that keeping these people around him would not be useful for the time being. They are all good brothers of my elder brother, we are all one family."

Wang Pang thought to himself, if you knew that one day you would be able to ascend the throne, you might not say so.He instructed Zhe Kejun and the others to say: "You send King Ying into the palace tomorrow and then return to the mansion. If King Ying needs to listen to King Ying's call at any time." Wang Pang said that everyone was very happy, Zhao Zhongzhen bid farewell to Wang Pang and returned to the mansion to prepare to enter Palace business.

Wang Pang sent Zhong Zhen away, looked at the sky, and saw that there were still many things to do in such a busy day, Wang Pang remembered that he had agreed to visit Zeng Gongliang, and ordered his family to prepare dinner early and have a simple meal. Wang Pang returned Go to the room to change clothes, and see that the room heater has warmed the room. [

Wang Pang wanted to change clothes so he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when she saw Rou'er coming in, she held Wang Pang's changing clothes, put them on the bedside, turned around and was about to go out.Hastily said: "Rou'er wait!"

Rou'er stood still, turned around slightly, but still lowered her head: "What are your orders, young master?"

Wang Pang sighed softly, he didn't know that Rou'er was infatuated with him, not to mention that Yue Xia had just passed away, even when the weather was calm, he didn't think anything wrong with Rou'er, at first he knew that Rou'er Identity, but how long I can stay in the Song Dynasty is unknown. Now that I have a family and a career, it is good to speak clearly no matter what.

"Sit down, I have something to tell you!" Wang sat at the table.

Rou'er walked to the table and sat down with her body bent. It was the first time Wang Pang talked to herself like this, and she couldn't help but feel the deer jumping wildly in her heart.For a long time, I heard Wang Pang's deep voice say: "Rou'er, I know what you mean, Yuexia is gone now, if Tong Xiaohe can find my baby, I hope you will take good care of me."

"What the young master said is off the mark. Rou'er serves the young master and the young master. These are what I should do." Rou'er lowered her head and said softly.

Wang Bang sighed, "I have something to say, don't mind, I have never treated you as a maid, but I have never treated you as a wife, you treat your children well, and if you are not under the moon, treat yourself as the master. I am grateful for my devotion to the family. However, I will not stand in the courtroom again, I hope you can understand, and I also hope that you can give me time. I will also be responsible to you. "

"Rou'er understands! Don't worry, young master."

Seeing that Rou'er was in a relatively calm mood, Wang Pang felt a little relieved and said, "Since I came back, I have been thinking about the cause of Yuexia's death. I saw Yuexia in Kaifeng Mansion today. The body, Yuexia died very peacefully. You and her are like sisters. Did she tell you anything before the incident? Also, what birthmark does our child have? It’s all my fault. These, please Rou'er tell the truth."

"My lord, I should have told you the truth when you came back, but yesterday I saw you in a trance, and today I have been running all the time. Since you are asking now, Rou'er will tell you what you have asked." Rou'er looked up after finishing speaking. Wang Pang, seeing Wang Pang's earnest eyes, anxious expression, and much thinner face, felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

She wiped away her tears and said: "Young master is very good-looking, his eyebrows are somewhat similar to him."

Wang Bangxin said that a child who is a few months old can see some similarities, but he still listens carefully.But I heard Rou'er say: "The young master was born in good health, but there is a birthmark on his arm. When I inquired in Kaifeng Mansion, I only said it was a drop-shaped birthmark, but... But I think this birthmark is very familiar. I couldn't get up, but when I saw Young Master, I remembered that the birthmark looked like something worn by Young Master. Young Master fell into the water and recovered from his illness, but he had a black stone in his hand. Do you remember, Young Master? At that time, Rou'er helped Young Master weave the thread? "

Listening to Rouer's words, Wang Pang hurriedly took off the crystal on his chest: "But this?"

Rou'er's eyes lit up: "Exactly!"

God, what God!Wang Pang instructed: "Rou'er, from today on, don't mention this stone to anyone."

Rou'er nodded: "Young Master, don't worry, Madam said so too. The day before the fire, Madam told me that she was leaving you."

Wang Pang was shocked when he heard that, did Yuexia regain the ability to predict? "What else did Madam say?" Wang Pang asked anxiously, holding Rou'er's hand.
