Chapter 019: Freezing (1)

Shangjing, Prime Minister's Mansion.

The court has changed dramatically, and the prime minister Pan Chunwei has been pushed to the forefront, not only commanding the three provinces and six departments, but also with the queen going to Luoyang, the prime minister often has to "take care" of many matters in the harem, becoming a well-deserved court minister, the first family of the Great Wei State, plus the relationship between the two princes and the son-in-law, it is even more successful, and it is further.

In addition, the authority and ability of the prime minister are unparalleled in the court, even if Chen Xian is a scholar who dies violently, everyone knows the importance of checks and balances of power, but let Pan Chunwei become the premier Zaifu, and no one in the entire court has a whisper, but tacitly agrees with one voice, because there are some things that only the prime minister can convince the public and handle, and others do not use it and cannot use it.

Others are envious and red-eyed, longing for being able to have a little relationship with the Pan family, and since then they will be able to rise to prominence, many people have their hearts and minds on Pan Renmei, the son of the prime minister's family, hoping to open a breakthrough from this gentleman in a flattering way.

However, when the flattering crowd sent the prepared good jade, beautiful and beautiful girls and crickets that were still chirping happily in winter to Pan Gongzi through various channels, people suddenly found that Pan Gongzi had changed sex.

It's not that Pan Gongzi has let go of the word "gentleman" and has become a virtuous lady who "doesn't listen to things outside the window with both ears and only reads sage books".

This is incredible, and a gentleman begins to weigh the speculation. Instead of blindly following the nature of things, it will be difficult for this person to be seen and inserted, and you have just seen a gap that can be inserted. I took a sharp needle and pierced it, and when I got closer, I found that the crack was slowly healing, and the surprise in my heart was like the sun hitting the west.

A gentleman does not bully others, does not grandstand, does not flaunt his might, does not force him to buy and sell, and does not forcibly rob people's daughters. That is really a waste of the power in the family and a waste of good resources, and Pan Renmei is developing in this direction. This made many hooligans who envied Pan Renmei's background couldn't help but sigh - Pan Gongzi had fallen.

He would occasionally go to drink flower wine accompanied by his subordinates, occasionally go to the casino, and occasionally flirt with the girl with a beautiful face, but he was changing. In a slow change.

Although there are limitations in talent and temperament. can't glorify the Pan family, but little by little changes were seen by Pan Chunwei, he was comforted in his heart, and when he whispered to his deceased wife's tablet in private, he couldn't help but smile.

In the process of getting along with her father, Pan Renmei has also become natural and casual, no longer as restrained and timid as before, and occasionally says a joke or two. Asking for a little knowledge, sometimes it is still when the prime minister is busy with official business. Don't look long to ask for advice.

The prime minister reprimanded, but also explained, Pan Renmei sighed, and left with the book. As for the popular "Witch Lin Wan'er" in the market, he didn't put it down, but in the end, there was a 180-degree flip, Lin Wan'er turned from black to white, and became the most righteous person.

The hooligans and gangsters in the market can no longer read the hearty and dripping of the past "30,000 small high-tides, 100,000 big high-tides", can no longer read the ups and downs of "a discordant look, and then fights", can no longer read the fragrant and charming "women are like butterflies fluttering towards the male protagonist", abandon the books that abandon the books, scold people, and call Pan Gongzi unfinished, without the charm of the past.

But Pan Renmei enjoyed it, biting the pen and thinking about the next lingering scene.

Now although the second prince has been in charge of the country, the matter of folding and criticizing the red can be shared for the prime minister, but some things still have to fall on the shoulders of the prime minister in the end, and he is busy until the third watch and ten minutes, and at the fifth watch, when the rooster crows, the prime minister will take off his clothes and rest for an hour or two.

Pan An, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in private, the Prime Minister worked hard and did his best, but there were still some gossips in the market, saying that the death of the university scholar Chen Xian was related to the Prime Minister, which was pure nonsense.

Pan An knew that the prime minister sympathized with the university scholars, and the university scholars were nicknamed "Wenzheng" after their deaths, which was proposed by the prime minister himself, and the addition of the nickname was not simply a matter of saying it, it was a solemn matter of a radish and a pit, no matter which dynasty was cautious and cautious, it was the ultimate evaluation of a courtier's conclusion on opening the coffin, so there was a saying of "one hundred years and one Wenzheng".

Great Wei State, the ability and qualifications to compete for the title of "Wenzheng" are nothing more than two people, one is the prime minister Pan Chunwei, and the other is the university scholar Chen Xian, even Ji Yun, who is also a university scholar, is almost a little hot compared to these two, and the prime minister gave up the title of "Wenzheng", which is a change of direction and gave up the title of the first Wenchen of the Great Wei, what a bearing, what a mind.

As for the general Xiahou Xiangyang's posthumous nickname should start with the word "loyalty", it is likely to be the premier "loyalty", and the nickname of Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, is difficult to say, starting with "Wu" is certain, the difficulty is difficult in Xiliang and the court for many years of confrontation, if it is really about meritorious deeds, pacifying the world, guarding Xiliang, worthy of "Wu Zhong", if the court intends to humiliate Xiliang, maybe it is the lowest grade "Wu Zhuang".

Even if the Prime Minister was so humble and gave up the title of the first minister of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there were still people who suspected that the Prime Minister had something to do with the death of Scholar Chen Xian, and he was really blind. Because some people suspected that the death of Chen Xian was related to the princess Pan Meimei in the palace, the prime minister specially entered the palace to question, and I don't know why the princess was very angry and said, yes, Chen Xian's death is related to me, and I wish that the old man died early. The prime minister, who has always regarded the princess as the pearl of his palm, was furious, stretched out his hand and slapped the princess hard, and finally threw his sleeves and left. And the princess lay on the bed and cried for a whole day.

When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister regretted it. He believed that although his daughter was rude, she would never kill a scholar. Thanks to Pan Renmei's mediation, otherwise there would really be a gap between the most noble women of the Great Wei Kingdom.

Once. Pan An took his subordinates out to buy daily items in the Prime Minister's Mansion, just entered a rice shop, and heard someone chewing his tongue from a distance, he sighed, thinking that he could do less than one thing, as if he didn't see or hear, he really hit the gossip person. On the contrary, it fell into the handle.

However, when he came out of the rice shop, Pan Anxin felt a lot of discomfort. Indignant, he turned his head back to the rice shop, condescendingly ordered someone to break the legs of the tongue chewer, and slapped the man more than a hundred times. Then drop a silver ticket. Turn and leave.

The scholar Chen Xian died violently, and the prime minister worked harder and harder, but he specially instructed Pan An to add a table in the study, which was covered with good rice paper, and the ink was often grinded, as long as he lifted the pen, he could write, but he only lifted the pen a few times, and he didn't know how to write a sacrificial text. It is used to pay tribute to the colleague who has fought with him all his life in the court.

Standing outside the Prime Minister's study, Pan An, who was dragging Babao tea in his hand, was awakened by a cough in the study. Shaking his head and restraining his thoughts, he gently pushed open the door and put the steaming Babao tea on the desk: "Master, take a rest, drink hot tea, warm up, this year the weather is cold, you should pay more attention to your body." ”

Sitting behind the thick recital, Pan Chunwei in front of an oil lamp snorted, still carefully reading the recital, picking up the pen and sketching, and after a while, he found that Pan An still hadn't left, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

In the past, when Pan An saw the old man like this, he must have understood it and quietly retreated, but today he was stubbornly motionless there, he felt a little unworthy for the old man, he was conscientious and diligent all his life, but he was gossiped behind the back of others, and whoever this happened was full of resentment.

Pan Chunwei gently closed the fold, put his hands on the hot tea, warmed his palms with the hot air coming out of the eight treasure tea, and asked, "Pan An, you seem to have something to say?" ”

Pan An held the tray in his hands, and his face showed a trace of anger: "Master, it's been so many years, when the lady had a difficult birth, you were busy working outside, and after giving birth to the young master, you bled out, and you didn't even see your last face, your hard work, the court didn't see it, and you were rewarded for your meritorious deeds, after the king of Xiliang and the general, you hung a portrait on the Lingyan Pavilion, and it was only the third, which was only half of Chen Xian's body." After the founding of the Great Wei State, the king of Xiliang was crowned king, and the general guarded the North Pass, leaving you a huge mess in the Central Plains, recuperation, tax reduction, weakening and servitude, and rectifying the super-outline. Now that such a big thing has happened in the imperial court, you forcibly suppressed it, not because you were afraid that the Great Wei Kingdom would be in chaos. You are like this, but you still have to be slandered by others, and you seem to be in a high position, but you are walking on thin ice and trembling. In the eyes of the slaves, the world will let it rot, if you want to mess up, let him mess up, what's the matter with you, this prime minister is aggrieved, it is better to resign and return to his hometown, a few acres of thin fields, two buffaloes, come happy and free. ”

"Pan An, this bastard!" Pan Chunwei's face was displeased, there was a lot of anger in his voice, and he threw the tea bowl in his hand on the table.

He rarely scolded Pan An, who had followed him for many years, some things that others had not seen, but Pan An saw it, the world thought that the prime minister was resolute and serious, and his heart was like a rock, but he didn't know that the prime minister was fragile back then, and he returned to Beijing all the way, and found that his wife had passed away.

Pan An was still there, holding his neck: "Slave bastard, I know it's wrong." He admitted his mistake casually, but his tone did not have the slightest attitude of knowing his mistake.

For some reason, Pan Chunwei suddenly smiled, slowly stood up, walked past the desk, and came to the window, where there was thick snow outside, and there was a vastness: "Pan An, you have followed me for more than thirty years." ”

Pan An's nose was sour: "It's been thirty-six years, and Pan An has been studying with his master since he was thirteen years old." ”

"Heh, it's been thirty-six years. It's really a long time, for so many years, you are more like Meimei and Renmei's father than me, the two children are not close to me, but they are very close to you, Uncle An. Pan Chunwei laughed at himself and shook his head helplessly.

Pan An also smiled.

"Pan An, sometimes I am also indignant, thinking that it is not bad to shake my hand, resign and return to my hometown, and be a carefree old man, but when I think about it, I feel that it is inappropriate. When I first read the book, I liked the sentence "There is a money house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book," which was refreshing to read and made people happy, but then I didn't like it, and I felt that this sentence was too utilitarian and not good. Rummaging through the books, I only like the sentence 'be good to yourself', I think it is very good, and you can read books to be able to have poetry and books, and become a person with high morals, but then I think about it and feel that it is too narrow-minded, if a person reads only to be good to himself, it is even more inappropriate. Later, I read the sentence 'The rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible', and felt that it was sonorous and powerful, extremely exciting, and that as a human being, he should put the country first, and took it as a wise saying, and recited it for many years. Pan Chunwei said lightly, "Later, I felt that the taste was wrong, a country and a family were too blunt, no one was in it, after the founding of the Great Wei State, it was difficult, and there were problems everywhere that needed to be repaired. ”

"However, now it seems that these are all nonsense, false and empty, to some extent, it seems to be a bit against human nature, it cannot be denied that these people are patriotic, but those who say 'the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible' must have resentment and grievances in their hearts, and say 'the worries of the world first, The joy of the world after tomorrow must have helplessness and sadness in the hearts of the people, are the readers to express the words of the heart, really after that period of time, those turbulent emotions will inevitably weaken, if you encounter obstruction and disobedience again, the heart is agitated or helpless sadness, take what you have said and read it again, the taste comes up again, so the cycle, not like a whip to spur yourself, but like a hypocritical poem. Pan Chunwei turned his head and said something that was very inconsistent with his identity.
