Compete for the Song Dynasty

Chapter 242 Lamenting Su Shi's Fate

Since ancient times, Laichuan has a prosperous culture and outstanding people, and is known as the "Hometown of Talented Scholars".Besides his own biological father, Wang Anshi, among the famous people in Linchuan that Wang Pang knew was the Yan Shu mentioned above. When mentioning Yan Shu, Wang Pang would naturally think of the phrase "however the flowers fall, and the deja vu swallow returns".

This time, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang helped Wang Pang to handle the documents, and the progress was quite fast. It seemed that not only Prime Minister Zeng, but also the aloof Emperor Yingzong, were looking forward to Wang Pang leaving the capital as soon as possible.

Wang Pang was not as excited as Tong Guan and the others, they sent someone to fetch the document and the basic itinerary was set, leaving Rou Er and others to pack their bags, Wang Pang first went to the courtyard where Yuan Ze was, and told his elder brother that it would be ready on the same day hit the road.Yuan Ze has also packed up, there are several bamboo and rattan suitcases in the room, Yuan Ze's clothes and books on the road are placed, Liu Qi is busy packing, but Yuan Ze is nowhere to be seen.

"Where did the eldest son go?"

While packing up his things, Liu Qi returned, "The eldest son said he was going to buy some special gifts and went to the street." [

"This guy, don't even call me."

"The eldest son said that the second son had a lot of things to do, so he didn't ask you to go with him, and he also said that he was afraid that you would forget these things, so he just brought out a copy for you."

Yuan Ze was thoughtful, but he would have to buy a lot of things in this way: "Why didn't you go with the eldest son?"

"The eldest son asked me to pack my things. He brought two servants there."

Wang Pang was still worried that he would not be able to take it, but he was relieved to hear Liu Qi's words. After leaving Yuanze's residence, Wang Pang walked straight out of the mansion and walked on the street.He was about to leave the capital again, even though he knew that Zhong Zhen would ascend the throne in a few years, and his father Wang Anshi would be appointed Prime Minister at that time, but Wang Pang felt rather sad.

Is the space I am in not real after all? Is it because I am ignorant and not deep enough in historical research?So I don't know that there is such a person as Wang Pang in history, or my existence has changed a lot, such as Cai Jing, such as Tong Guan.

The street was bustling with people coming and going, and occasionally someone greeted Wang Pang, but Wang Pang didn't see Yuan Ze and his servant, so he really didn't know what he was going to buy for his relatives and friends in his hometown.And so far, Wang Pang has only seen one uncle, Wang Anguo. I heard that there is a third uncle, Wang Anli, three aunts, and a sister in the family.In short, for such a big family, it would be great if Wang Pang's physical body can still have some memory, but it's a pity that before he passed through this physical body, this physical body turned out to be a dementia that could not see people.

Another feeling is that Kaifeng City has so many memories of the king, Emperor Renzong, foster father Bao Zheng, mentor and father-in-law Di Qing, Yuexia who left him, and the children he has never met.Thinking of this, Wang Pang felt even more melancholy.

Before he knew it, Wang Pang came to Mayer Mansion. The gate of Mayer Mansion was closed, and there was still a plaque with the words Mayer Mansion on the forehead, but things are people, not everything.Wang Pang sighed softly, turned around and was about to leave when suddenly the door opened with a creak, and Su Xiaohe stepped out from the door, as if he was about to go out.

"The one in front is Prince Wang?" Su Xiao's voice sounded behind Wang Pang, and Wang Pang stopped in his tracks.

I didn't expect to meet Su Xiao, especially when I knew that this was Su Xiaomei, but seeing that he was still dressed in men's clothes, it seemed inconvenient to explain, so Wang Pang could only clasp his hands and asked, "Master Su, how have you been?"

When Su Xiao saw Wang Pang, his eyes lit up, and he took two quick steps to get close to Wang Pang: "Young Master Wang, why don't you come in and sit down when you arrive at the mansion?"

"I, passing by here." Wang Pang really didn't know how to answer, could it be that I Xinbu walked here and came here after getting used to walking?

Su Xiao is quite generous: "Originally I heard that Mr. Wang is leaving, and I was thinking of going to the mansion to see him off. Since Mr. Wang is here, why not..." Su Xiaogang wanted to invite Wang Pang to the mansion, but he thought about the invitation again. A man came to the house, even though his identity is unknown now, if he reveals his identity someday in the future, he will feel embarrassed.

"Okay! Since it's such a coincidence, let's ask for a cup of tea." A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and Su Xiao is so sincere, let him give him a step.

Su Xiao led Wang Pang back to the hall of the Meyer Mansion, and the two sat down as guests and hosts. Wang Pang saw that all the decorations in the Meyer Mansion hadn't been moved at all, and then looked at Su Xiao's face, who was Wang Pang?Although it is not said to read the number of people, it is also proficient in human relationships and sophistication.

The girl served tea, Wang Pang took a sip, put down the teacup and Wang Pang asked: "I'm leaving tomorrow, I wonder when brother Zizhan will come to the capital?"

"My brother is busy with other things, so it was a few days late. It seems that my brother has no time to give the prince a farewell."

After Wang listened, he felt a little regretful. In the past, his impression of Su Shi was not only that he was a celebrity in the Song Dynasty, but also that Su Shi was a bit romantic and talented.But recently, every time he thinks that his father will start drastic reforms when he returns to the capital, he even feels a little uneasy in his heart.He knew that the real Xining reform in history ended in failure, which led to mixed praise and criticism for Wang Anshi from later generations. However, what made him even more disturbed was that he only knew what happened before, such as pre-Qin, Qin and Han, The Tang Dynasty and the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.But now that he thought of Xining's reform, he actually knew what happened afterwards, including those opponents of the reform. [

Among them, what disturbed Wang Pang the most was Su Shi's fate. It can be said that he did not pass through all the celebrities in the Song Dynasty in his eyes before. With his own experience in the Song Dynasty, he has become not so far away.When the halo faded, what the king saw were real people in history.He couldn't tell whether he knew it before, or his ability to read through ancient stones increased with his body's age and experience.

Su Xiaomei in front of him aroused Wang Bangqian's memory. Su Shi was actually a member of the Yuanyou Party, and besides Sima Guang, he was the biggest opponent of the reform.But later, when Sima Guang's faction attacked the reformers, Su Shi stepped forward again.In the end, both the reform and the conservative parties were incompatible, and the ups and downs were almost unpredictable, and he was finally exiled to the wild Qiongya island outside China, but he dealt with it calmly.

What kind of person is this? Su Shi's life has become a portrayal of the late Northern Song Dynasty's reform party disputes in the late Northern Song Dynasty.In other words, Wang Pang is more interested in Su Shi than in Su Xiaomei at the moment, and even Wang Pang feels that fighting for Su Shi to change Su Shi's fate is something he really wants to do.

"Prince Wang? What are you thinking?" Su Xiaomei couldn't help asking softly when Wang Pang put down the teacup and was distracted.

"How to change Su Shi's fate!" Wang Pang answered smoothly.

Su Xiaomei giggled, and brought Wang Pang back from her thoughts.

"I don't know where the words of changing my brother's fate come from?" Su Xiaomei murmured.

"Oh, I, I learned some divination when I was in Xixia, and I just did a silent calculation for brother Zizhan, and I think brother Zizhan is not going well. That's why I say that, haha" Wang Pang frowned.

Su Xiaomei pursed her lips and said with a snicker: "Then why don't you give me a fortune-telling, Mr. Wang."

"This, it's not easy to divination." Wang Pang shook his head, this divination is too bad to break the words, it is better to be so muddled, and there is no need to expose Su Xiaomei's identity.

"Mr. Su, what are your plans for the future itinerary?" Wang Pang changed the topic without waiting for Su Xiaomei to speak.

"Don't you know how to count?" Su Xiaomei said with a slight twitch.

Wang Pang also didn't want to argue with him. Now that he knew that he would not see Su Shi before his departure, although he had regrets in his heart, he could only do so. He stood up and said, "Those are trivial tricks, and they are not worth mentioning. Since you can't see Brother Zizhan, please trouble Su Shi." Send my greetings, son, and we will meet again in Meizhou when we have a chance."

Su Xiaomei was delighted when Wang Pang said goodbye to Meizhou. Wang Pang must have gone to Meizhou to see Shu tea.Thinking of this, she blushed, seeing that Wang Pang was about to leave, she was too embarrassed to stay longer, watching Wang Pang leave, she felt a little regretful that she didn't finish her sentence.

Wang Pang left the capital with his family and entourage, and went all the way south to get there smoothly, but there were many people on the road and there were entourages to follow.Elder brother Yuanze reads books when he has free time, Wang Pang knows that Yuanze is going to take the examination for fame, although he was not in a hurry before, now it is indeed past the year of weak crown, Wang Anshi has already passed the Jinshi examination at his age, Yuanze can't help but feel anxious, Work harder.Seeing that Linchuan was getting closer and closer, Wang Pang originally wanted to chat with Yuan Ze more on the way, while learning about family affairs, seeing Yuan Ze studying hard and not being able to disturb him, he also thought about it. In ancient times, people valued the family most. Wang Anshi can also be regarded as a family, born in a family of small officials, such a family must have many relatives and friends in his hometown.

On this day, Wang Pang and others were resting at the inn on the way. After dinner, Wang Pang came to Yuan Ze's room and saw Yuan Ze studying hard under the lamp again.Sighing involuntarily, Yuan Ze raised his head: "Your brother, what do you want me to do?"

Wang Pang sat down in front of Yuanze, showing a naive smile: "I said brother, you know me best, and I'm going home soon, I can't remember anything about my family."

Yuanze thought for a while and suddenly realized: "Oh! My brother regained his sanity in the second year of Jiayou. We were already in the capital at that time, but brother, haven't you remembered the previous things?"

"Look, even if I remember it vaguely, it has been six or seven years now, and I haven't been back in these years. I don't even stay in the capital, and I don't know anything about the people and things in my hometown. Can you tell me Do you want to talk?" Wang Pang poured tea for Yuan Ze graciously, laughing.

Yuan Ze put down the book: "In this old house... huh? No, Rou'er knows all about it, why don't you ask me if you leave Rou'er alone?"

Wang Pang scratched his head when he heard this, this Rou'er grew up in Wang Anshi's house, but since he entered his house, he seldom talked to Rou'er, let alone consummated the house.Now that Rou'er is still a nominal concubine, Wang Pang always feels that being with Rou'er is more like being with the ancients.

"You! Go back and ask Rou'er, don't you know everything?" Yuan Ze also heard something, and secretly worried for Wang. "Go, go!" He got up and pushed Wang Pang out of the room. [

Standing at Rou'er's door, Wang Pang was really hesitant. Rou'er had probably rested at this time, and he seemed to be unable to pass his own test.Let everything take its course, including Rou'er.
