When Song Renzong Zhao Zhen finished instructing Ouyang Xiu, Yan Shu, who was standing in the first row, came out with a wat and objected: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Majesty summoned Wang Sicheng of the Street Division alone, and he thought it was impossible. Whether or not the contents of the above two memoranda are implemented in Tokyo is a matter of concern to our Great Song Jiangshan Sheji, and Your Majesty cannot suspend this person's words. As the saying goes, 'if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark'.

"If, after His Majesty has descended from the Imperial Court, he really wants to summon Wang Sicheng of the Sub-district Division to the palace to meet him and inquire him about the contents of the above two proclamations, there should be ministers with different opinions and opinions. If Wang Sicheng of the Street Division can persuade several ministers who have opposing opinions to implement it in the city of Tokyo, it is a foolproof strategy, and please ask Your Majesty to take a clear look. ”

Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, who was sitting in the hall, felt that what Yan Shu said was quite reasonable, so he immediately changed his mind and redecided: "What Yan Gong just said is extremely true, but I have not thought it through enough. I took Yan Gong's suggestion and did not summon the street secretary alone.

"In order to be able to receive advice, I have decided to summon the street Si Sicheng in the vertical arch hall at two o'clock today, and at the same time as Yan Gong of the Ping Zhang, Wang Gongchen of the Imperial History, Jia Changchao, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, and Ouyang Xiu of Youzhengyan, Zhu Qing borrowed to discuss together."

Among the ministers named by Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong to participate in the early dynasty, those who supported the implementation of traffic rules in Tokyo were Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu, and the people who opposed it were Jia Changchao and Wang Gongchen, and the reason why Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong brought Yan Shu was because Yan Shu was in a high position and was good at mediating as a peacemaker.

Originally, more than a dozen ministers such as Wang Gongchen and Jia Changchao were opposed to Song Renzong Zhao Zhen's decision to summon the street Si Sicheng alone, but fortunately, at this time, the highly respected Yan Shu stepped forward and suggested that Song Renzong Zhao Zhen should be summoned separately to discuss with several ministers who held positive and negative opinions, which blocked their mouths.

Bao Zheng and Ouyang Xiu naturally had no opinion on Song Renzong's decision to change course, in the eyes of the two of them, if this Wang Sicheng of the Street Division could not convince Wang Gongchen and the others, I am afraid it would be difficult to convince the two of them.

Whether this matter is successful or not, when it comes to two quarters of the hour, it depends on Wang Sicheng of the Street Division, how he behaves in the vertical arch hall.

After the early dynasty, it was already four quarters of the hour, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen drove away from the Zichen Hall and went to rest in the Vertical Arch Palace, while Yan Shu and other five ministers followed Song Renzong Zhao Zhen and also came to the Vertical Arch Palace.

The difference is that Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong is in the vertical arch hall, half-lying on the imperial couch to rest, while Yan Shu and other five ministers are waiting outside the door of the vertical arch hall

Song Renzong was sympathetic to them, Yan Shu was very old, and he had passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, so he specially ordered Zhang Mao to give Yan Shu a seat and let him sit outside the door of the vertical arch hall to wait for the decree, as for the other four people, they were not so well treated, they could only stand outside the palace gate, welcoming the arrival of Wang Hao, the street secretary.

After about half an hour, when it came to the hour, Wang Hao rushed to the door of the vertical arch hall under the leadership of several internal guards.

Because on this road, although Wang Hao entered the palace gate by carriage, but after entering the palace gate, he came all the way on foot.

Wang Hao, who came to the door of the Vertical Arch Palace, was already tired and sweaty, panting, and after saying goodbye to the few internal guards who had escorted him all the way, he leaned on a pillar outside the door of the Vertical Arch Hall in front of Yan Shu and other five court ministers.

Wang Hao looked at the rising sun, wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and gasping for breath, completely unaware that there were five ministers waiting for him to come about five zhang away from him.

"Wang Sicheng, what are you leaning on the pillars, all the ministers have been waiting for you here for a long time, and they are ready to enter the palace with you to meet the officials. Why don't you come here and greet the ministers? Bao Zheng, who was standing next to Yan Shu, saw Wang Hao, who was about five zhang away from him, leaning on a pillar to rest, and did not come to greet the five ministers for the first time.

On the way from the palace gate to the vertical arch hall, the big attendants did not take him to the avenue in front of the vertical arch hall, but the path in front of the side door, because in the eyes of these big guards, this person is just an official with a sesame mung bean from the eighth grade, and it is really a bit conspicuous and eye-catching to walk the avenue in the palace, and it is better to take the small road, which is more low-key.

And Wang Hao walked on foot for about two moments, and when he arrived at the porch in front of the side door of the Vertical Arch Palace, he was already exhausted, and he did not notice the five ministers outside the main gate of the Vertical Arch Hall outside the five zhang away.

Suddenly reminded by Bao Zheng, Wang Hao, who rested for a while, immediately looked sideways and followed the sound, just like Columbus had discovered the New World.

What shocked Wang Hao at this time was that in front of him, about five zhang away, he saw Bao Zheng standing in front of the main entrance of the vertical arch hall, and at the same time, he also saw three middle-aged men standing with Bao Zheng, and a slightly older man sitting on a chair.

In addition, Wang Hao was also surprised to find that the five middle-aged men, including Bao Zheng, were wearing official robes that were either vermilion or purple, needless to say, the official ranks were all above the fifth rank, or even above the third rank, and they were all important ministers of the imperial court.

Seeing this scene, Wang Hao didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hand at Bao Zheng and the other five ministers, and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Street Si Sicheng, I would like to greet all officials." ”

As soon as Wang Hao's words fell, Yan Shu, who was originally sitting on the chair, immediately stood up, first looked Wang Hao standing in front of him up and down, and asked puzzledly: "You, is the street division who has just been in office for less than ten days?" ”

Although Yan Shu knew a few days ago that the street secretary had changed, and it was Zhao Guanjia who personally issued an edict and was appointed by Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion, he had not seen Wang Hao himself, and thought he was a mature man.

As a result, Yan Shu naturally didn't know that the new Si Cheng was so young, he originally thought that he should be at least in his early thirties, but what he didn't expect was that he was a hairy young man, and he looked like he was just in the age of a weak crown, which really surprised him.

Wang Hao saw the older man sitting in the chair, among the five ministers, with a puzzled look, he hurriedly bowed his hand, replied and asked: "Qiyu official, the lower official's surname is Wang Minghao, he is the newly appointed street secretary, I have worshiped the official here, I don't know what important position the official has a high surname, and what important position he holds?" ”
