Compete for the Song Dynasty

When Wang Pang returned to Bianjing and met his relatives and friends, he felt joy and emotion.After this catastrophe, Wang Pang matured a lot, and Di Qing even talked about his loyalty, showing him the feelings of the ancients.Thinking about the thirty-odd years I have lived in, I even feel that the ups and downs in the past are nothing.

When he first returned to the capital, Wang Pang went to see Zhao Zongshi on the grounds that he was seriously injured and that King Pu had passed away and could not express his condolences.This is what Wang Anshi and Master Bao Zheng mentioned, after all, it is a matter of etiquette.Second, Wang Pang wanted to go by himself, but he wanted to see Zhao Zongshi's reality.Seeing that Zhao Zongshi was dedicated to keeping his filial piety, the king looked at his expression during the conversation, and he didn't even have the spirit of fighting.Thinking about it, after all, he couldn't beat Zhao Zongshi at first, not to mention hearing about it when he came back: Prime Minister Han Qi proposed to the emperor to establish a prince.Emperor Renzong replied: "I already have a suitable candidate." It is rumored in the inner palace that the thirteen characters have already been decided, and only the edict is issued.At this time, King Pu died of illness, and filial piety is the first priority.

This Zhao Zongshi is indeed a filial son, at least Wang Pang had read some books before crossing over, or Shen Kuo said that he would come to Pu Mansion Wang Pang to accompany him to have a look. It was also a big deal in Zhao Zongshi's heart.Seeing that Zhao Zongshi was appointed as the prince, he could let go of it in the name of keeping filial piety, let alone pay attention to Di Qing, Wang Pang felt relieved for the time being.

This is often the case. Once the turmoil calms down, people jump out of the whole incident and feel one way or another in retrospect.From being the second son of Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, to recognizing Bao Zheng as his adoptive father, he learned from Di Qing, and showed his talents in court.Wang Pang always felt that today's people back to the ancient times, no matter what, they are better than the ancient people. It is enough to be a petty official without worrying about eating and drinking, and he himself has passed the official addiction.Unexpectedly, he almost died again.I also imagine that the characters in the novel are all-powerful, but they are just outsiders.Thinking about living in the previous life, there were so many celebrities in the Song Dynasty, but they didn't have the name of Wang Pang.

Wang Pang was saddened, he was following Bao Zheng's order to read the case file in Meihua Hall of Kaifeng mansion, and felt sleepy after reading these classical Chinese texts, so he simply closed the case file and came to the courtyard. [

The Plum Blossom Hall is located in a small courtyard in the back office of Kaifeng Mansion.

Standing next to the king in the courtyard, his eyes were full of red, pink, and white.The red plum blossoms are as bright as peaches and plums, the pink ones are like paintings, and the white ones are like silver carvings and jade carvings.My mood suddenly eased a little, as if I had an epiphany.

He Libo came in from outside the courtyard.He bowed his hands and called him an adult.Wang Pang said: "There are outsiders here, Brother He, don't call me your lord." He Libo smiled and said: "Here we are in Kaifeng Mansion. When I see you wearing an official uniform, I will not consciously restrain myself."

The king looked at He Libo, dressed as a headhunter, and said, "Aren't you also in official uniform?"

He Libo said: "I am an idle person. This brother tied me up for an errand. Do I dare not wear it? Thank you brother. I will pay you today. I am here to invite Mrs. Wang Pang discretionary."

Wang looked at He Libo up, down, left, and right.He Libo asked, "Why, are you afraid I won't be able to invite you?"

Wang Pang laughed and said, "Isn't that right? I always see Brother He being imposing, but this headhunting outfit is still a little condescending."

He Libo stared at him: "Is this taking the big brother's pleasure?"

Wang Pang smiled: "Looking at your staring eyes, I say you are sincere. I usually listen to what my elder brother said, and I analyze that your clan may not be poor and weak. It's just that there is no leader so there is little resistance."

He Libo said: "The people in the tribe are brave, but they are barren and backward, and they are in decline. It will be difficult to get up again." Wang looked at him, seeing his understatement, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes for a moment, but soon cover up.From the moment he saw He Libo, he felt that this person was extraordinary.He was not like the man in the declining tribe he described. Moreover, this man was knowledgeable and possessed special skills, such as martial arts, his strength stood out, and he was also familiar with the art of swords and spears.

Wang Pang said: "Brother, forgive my younger brother for speaking bluntly: I see that my elder brother is not an ordinary tribal figure, but I know that my elder brother is definitely not our enemy. It is not a lie that my elder brother said about the decline of the tribe. My younger brother petitioned Mr. Bao to take the position of eldest brother, mainly to act for elder brother Freedom. Besides, I know you have aspirations in your heart. Let's take it as a temporary measure."

He Libo thought for a while and said, "Brother, since you said so, today I will drink with you."

Wang Pang said: "Let's go, let's have a drink in the restaurant."

The two left Kaifeng Mansion and walked to Renhe Building.They sat down on the second floor and ordered some food and wine.The two chatted while drinking, He Libo said: "Since I came to the capital, I feel that there are a lot of good wines in the Central Plains, especially when I come to the capital."

Wang Pang said: "Brother He can taste all the fine wines in the capital this time. I don't know what to expect and what to gain."

He Libo smiled and said: "Lelou has fairy mash, Helelou has fine wine, Yuxianlou has jade liquid, Wanglou has jade infusion, but this is the first time I have come to Renhelou. But I don't know what's available here."

Wang Pang said: "There is a kind of wine in Renhe Building called "Fengtan Wine", which is the top grade rice wine. It is a good time to drink the rice wine when it is warm and tonic."

He Libo sipped his wine and said, "But I don't know what the allusion is."

The king came again: "by the way, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty bid farewell to General Liu Zao before his southern expedition.

He Libo drinks again, but he also feels that the taste is sweet.Then he asked: "Unexpectedly, my brother has such a research on wine."

Wang Pang thought to himself, this is the place where he met Liang Yuexia for the first time, and now Liang Yuexia is his fiancée, what a twist of fate.Said: "To tell you the truth, brother, this is the place where I met Yuexia."

He Li Bo laughed and said: "This brother is infatuated. So I brought my brother to remember the old man."

Wang Pang laughed loudly: "How can a man love his sons and daughters? It's just not hiding it from my elder brother."

After the two laughed, He Libo said: "You really have something to do with Miss Yuexia, Brother Yu, I don't understand."

Wang Pang asked, "What's the matter?"

He Libo said: "I seldom interact with the girl on weekdays, but the girl has some instructions when you and I go out. But it's so strange."

Wang listened to him and went on to say: "It's strange that the girl has other instructions besides taking care of the young master." He hesitated for a while, He Libo had to hesitate, what Yue Xia said seemed to be

See through him, and this is exactly what I want to talk to the king today.

The king didn't urge him at all. When he thought it over, he saw him and said, "Miss Yuexia, tell me something. If your clan revives one day, don't be my enemy."

Wang Pang laughed and said: "The tiger girl of Jiangmen is bound to be arrogant. Big Brother, don't argue with her."

He Libo shook his head: "Besides, I don't think that's the case. I asked the girl where she said that. The girl under the moon smiled, but she said something like a scripture, "A hundred years of prosperity and decline are lost in fierceness."

Wang Pang thought about it carefully, but he didn't understand the reason, so he said: "Brother Mo Duo thinks, at least there will be a century of ups and downs, but this girl under the moon has some spirits."

Seeing that there seemed to be a little star in He Libo's eyes, He Libo said: "Since my brother is not hiding anything from me, I will tell you the same thing. I am the son of the tribal leader. Sooner or later, I will go back. Rejuvenate the clan." wind."

Wang Pang saw that his words were true, so he raised the wine cup: "A man who has ambitions, come and drink up this cup."

While drinking, he saw a few more people coming up from upstairs, and the shop owner led the way to Wang Pang. The little one said, "Both of you have guests."

The two looked up, and it was Yuan Ze who brought Zhao Zhongzhen and a stranger to see him.

Yuan Ze said: "I guess Wang Pang is here."

Zhong Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Wang Pang is here again. I have been looking for it for a long time. Fortunately, Brother Yuan Ze was able to find you."

Seeing this, Wang Pang asked Xiao Er to add food and say, "Brother, why are you free today?"

Zhongzhen said: "I miss my brother today, let's talk to my brother."

Everyone sat down, Wang Pang wanted others to invite He Libo, Yuan Ze cited Li Gefei and Wang Pang and the others: "This is brother Gefei, my father's student. Today I saw that Zhong Zhen and I came to Wang Pang, so we came together."

Wang looked at Ge Fei, who was also a boy of similar age.Several teenagers chatted happily while drinking in the restaurant.During the dinner, everyone talked about state affairs and wars, and Zhongzhen chatted about the news, it seemed that Xixia was disturbing again.However, it is very strange to withdraw troops soon after they are dispatched.

Yuan Ze said: "You are in Pu Mansion, and you have heard a lot. I just closed the door and concentrated on studying."

Zhong Zhen looked at Wang Pang enviously: "I still envy Brother Pang who is at ease and can walk around everywhere. Even Brother Ge Fei is the same age as us, but he travels away from home, let alone Brother Li Bo."

He Libo said: "Traveling around is not a good place to learn more, but the news is still blocked."

Wang Pang smiled: "If there is an official newspaper, it can tell the world about the affairs of the court. Wouldn't it be great to send people to the states to publish it?"

Yuan Ze accosted after hearing the words: "There are also mansion reports, but there are some private copycats who specialize in copying and selling mansion newspapers to make a living."

Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Pang's words: "This seal of the mansion is a novelty. If I enter the palace again, you can tell the emperor and queen mother, and then I will give you a reward."

Everyone knows his identity, and he often goes to the palace with Zhao Zongshi to meet the emperor and empress, so raising the emperor's grandson is not comparable to others.It's just that Zhong Zhen is also considered modest and easy-going, and gets along very well with Wang Pang and the others.Know that what he said was not false.

Wang Pang said: "You don't need to ask for a reward for me. If you want to ask for it, please resign from my official position and let me wander around. But you can invite Shen Kuo."

Zhongzhen said: "Shen Kuo, I remember, isn't it the lord you brought you to Pu Mansion at the beginning? I don't know why you invited him?"

Wang Bang said: "Shen Kuo often studies folk arts and crafts, and there is a printing that can be called movable type printing, which has been included by Mr. Shen. This is a good thing for the official newspaper."

Everyone listened to the novelty and excitement, and the more they chatted, the closer they got to each other.

Day after day, he often drank and chatted freely, completely like a king and grandson, but the king was concerned about Di Qing and others, and it happened that the first month had already passed, so the palace arranged for the betrothal gifts and sent them to Chenzhou.Unexpectedly, what was brought back from Chenzhou was that the dowry was robbed, Di Qing died, Yue Xia disappeared and a series of strange things happened.

What is the relationship between these few things, Wang Pang was anxious, seeing Lu Shenyan who came to report the funeral, he hurriedly asked about it.After listening to the words, I realized that the disaster originated from the Lantern Festival when I hadn't left.
