Chapter 115: A Clash of Ideas and Beliefs

This night, Wang Anshi was furious and slapped Wang Yan twice, wanting to break Wang Yan's legs, but was stopped by his mother crying when he arrived.

On this night, Wang Yan knelt in the ancestral hall all night.

………

………

"Don't worry about the four brothers, tomorrow's court meeting, the younger brother will definitely ask the four brothers for the biggest reward."

In the Rulinlang Mansion, Zhang Bin left Cai Jing, Su Guo, Sun Guodong and Zhang Santao for dinner, and in the face of the concern of the four, Zhang Bin replied unfathomably.

The four of them looked at each other and went back with doubts and expectations.

As soon as the four of them left, Wang Anshi's second son, Wang Bei, came to the door overnight and personally delivered Wang Anshi's letter, as well as the title deed and business deed of Mingyue Tower.

On the other side, Wang Anshi took Shen Xiaoan to visit Feng Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, overnight, and the two waved everyone away and talked secretly for more than an hour before Wang Anshi dragged his tired body back to the house.

………

………

In the middle of the night, the palace and the imperial study are still brightly lit.

The Son of Heaven Zhao Ji looked at the dozen or so impeachment of Zhang Bin, frowned, and said, "Li Shunju, you said that the tragedy of Ma Binrui's family was really committed by Zhang Bin?" ”

Li Shunju, who had been serving by the side of the Son of Heaven, standing in a corner of the hall like a ghost, motionless from beginning to end, but did not make a sound, immediately stood up, bowed down and said: "Back to the official's house, Shi Deyi has a secret report from the Imperial City Division, there are plotting and evil thieves in the capital to maliciously spread rumors, Shi Deyi has found the source and brought people to arrest people." In addition, His Majesty has also issued a special order to the Criminal Department and the Kaifeng Government, urging them to investigate the case as soon as possible, and think that there will be a result tomorrow. ”

……

After receiving Wang Anshi's reply, Zhang Bin let out a long sigh and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, the imperial court will hold a grand court meeting attended by all officials.

In the plan, the Son of Heaven will announce the reward for Zhang Bin today, so although Zhang Bin is not actually sent, he must participate today.

The sky was bright, Zhang Bin ate breakfast under the service of Zhu Niang, washed and put on.

Reaching out and touching the little gold sleeping on the chair next to him, Zhang Bin walked out of the house, surrounded by four guards, and Li Siwa drove the carriage to the imperial city.

When they reached an intersection, a large group of people stopped there in the distance, as if waiting for Zhang Bin and his party.

This is also an official of the previous dynasty, but there are eighty-one entourage guards, two carriages, and more than a dozen pairs of chess and cards in front of the front to drive the idlers, and the pedestrians and officials encountered along the way immediately avoided the roadside.

The ministers avoided the way, and the courtesy was not a hundred bureaucrats, and eighty-one entourage, which was the majesty of the deputy prime minister.

Nowadays, the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government with this specification include Wang Anshi, the governor of the government, Lu Gongbi, the privy envoy, and Wen Yanbo, the governor of the government.

And changing the eighty-one retinues to ninety-nine retinues is the specification of Prime Minister Han Qi.

When they were nearly a hundred steps away from each other, an entourage came over, bowed and said, "My father-in-law asked Ru Linlang to come over and speak." ”

Zhang Bin thought for a while, got out of the carriage, rode the horse of an escort, and rode over alone.

The horse's hooves hit the heavy bluestone slabs, crisp as rain hitting plantains.

"Xiaguan Zhang Bin meets Xianggong." Zhang Bin rode on a horse and saluted Wang Anshi who stretched out his head respectfully.

Wang Anshi's tired words came out of the carriage: "Ziyu got in the car and spoke......

Zhang Bin did not hesitate, got off the horse, and got directly into the spacious carriage.

"This matter is a great favor owed to you by our Wang family, as long as the old man is alive, this favor will always exist, you can use this favor to find the old man in exchange for other requirements at any time." Wang Anshi didn't have any nonsense and said directly.

Zhang Bin nodded, didn't say any words of thanks, and asked directly: "Xianggong, I don't know where Wang Yan is now?" ”

Wang Anshi said lightly: "According to your request, as soon as the city gate opened, the old man sent him out of the city, and forcibly sent him to his hometown of Fuzhou Linchuan. ”

"May I ask Xianggong, what do you say to the outside world?"

"He said to the outside world that this son was seriously ill and went back to his hometown to recuperate."

……

……

After speaking, Zhang Bin got out of the carriage, rode back to his team, and got into the carriage.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace.

Zhang Bin's appearance attracted the attention of almost all the officials present.

There are a considerable number of people gloating with a face of schadenfreude, and they don't even hide it, Zhang Bin knows that most of these people are the benefit recipients of the even-loss method who have become 'tumors', and his bidding method is equivalent to cutting off a financial route for these people.

But there are also many people with regret and pity, after all, Zhang Bin has been too amazing during this time, whether it is Dashun City's great achievements, or the implementation of the bidding method in just two days to raise more than 500,000 yuan for the imperial court, in one fell swoop to solve the problem of money and grain crisis, it can be seen that his ability is superb.

Sima Guang also came, surrounded by four or five officials, looking at Zhang Bin with a cold face, but did not say anything.

Zhang Bin glanced at Sima Guang expressionlessly, Wang Anshi told him a piece of news just now, Sima Guang has been in tandem in the past two days, such as today, there are already more than a dozen impeachment notes on his desk.

Zhang Bin sneered in his heart, thinking that he had an enmity with this person, it seemed that there was an accidental factor, on the surface, he was too flamboyant, but in fact, he and this person were already destined to be enemies, and the grudge would get bigger and bigger.

This principle is the same as Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were originally friends, but since Wang Anshi implemented the reform, the two of them have gone farther and farther apart, until they finally became mortal enemies.

Unless Zhang Bin himself gives up the great ideal of strengthening the country and the army, and compromises with diehards like Sima Guang who only know how to stick to the rules and regard compliance with the rules of the ancestors as faith.

Because this is a violent conflict between ideas and ideas, and to a certain extent, it is also a conflict of class interests, and people like Sima Guang are the kind of people who are super self-righteous, because he can always find a so-called reasonable basis or seemingly reasonable logic for his own set of ideas, and other people's ideas are different from him, and they will be regarded as heresy in their hearts.

When Zhang Bin secretly sighed in his heart, Prime Minister Han Qi came, and all the officials in front of the door retreated to both sides of the road to welcome the prime minister to ride into the palace.

Han Qi rode in, followed by Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongbi and other important ministers taking the lead, and walked into the palace with hundreds of officials.

Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, the Son of Heaven came to the Wende Hall to accept the worship of the ministers and discuss state affairs.

After the officials entered the palace, they passed through the Wende Gate and lined up at the pavilion gate outside the Wende Palace.
