Chapter 739: Complaining about the black

For days after day, the old school continued to write books and criticize them, talking about the changes in the sky, and making trouble with the gunpowder factory and the famine in various places.

Wang Anshi's state is not too good, and the strength of the old school is unexpected. What made him even more upset was that his son Wang Yan fell ill not long ago.

Wang Anshi is not a real politician, he has serious character flaws, and he is clumsy in seeking a career, so many years, he can make bold moves and promote many changes, in fact, it is inseparable from the support of a group of people, among which the eldest son Wang Yan is his best assistant.

Wang Yan is smart, famous as a young man, deep in thought, and ruthless in temperament, which can just make up for Wang Anshi's shortcomings.

He can think of things that the minister can't think of, and he can help deal with things that the minister doesn't want to do.

It can be said that Wang Yan is the shadow of Wang Anshi, father and son, one body and two sides, two swords combined, and they look at each other.

But the problem came out, although Wang Yan is smart, but his physique is not good, he has been sick since he was a child, and he has worked hard for his father's career over the years, and his mind has been depleted, and since the beginning of winter, he has fallen ill.

There is a fierce enemy outside, but the most important strategist can't hold it anymore.

It's no wonder that Wang Anshi's mood can be good.

On this day, a decree came that His Majesty wanted to summon Wang Anshi.

He changed into court clothes and was just about to leave, when Wang Yan came over with the support of his sister.

"Father, stay first."

Wang Anshi saw that his son was pale and haggard, and he was also very distressed.

"What do you have to do here to recuperate?"

Wang Yan shook his head, "The child is worried about his father, this situation is not easy to deal with, please be careful and cautious!" ”

Wang Anshi was rarely kind and pleasant, and thought deeply, "Don't worry, Your Majesty will still support the change of the law, and there are so many ministers in the middle of the court who support the new law, and he is not alone as a father." ”

Wang Yan knew that his father was comforting him, but this made him feel even more chilled when he heard it.

He approached Wang Anshi and said in a low voice: "Father, it is true that in the court, the old and new factions are evenly matched, but the old faction is bent on destroying the new law, and they are ruthless and never polite. On the other hand, the ...... of the new faction" Wang Yan hesitated for a moment and continued: "Among the new faction, there are not many people who can share the same heart as their father, in fact, judging from these people, it is the best choice for the father to resign and let a more suitable person continue to preside over the law change. ”

"Ahh

Wang Anshi immediately gasped, he had never thought of it like this,

Indeed, the reform is divided into two factions, in addition to the Xinxue Department led by Wang Anshi, represented by Wang Ning'an, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang and others, the Six Arts School is more powerful, and its influence is all over the world, and it is represented in various fields. If there is no six arts and one system, with full support, Wang Anshi will not be able to be the prime minister, and he will not be able to change the law.

It's just that Wang Ning'an, the leader of the Six Arts and One Series, has become the king of Xiliang and has his own fiefdom.

How can you enter the court?

And another veteran of the Six Arts, Ouyang Xiu, focuses on academics and does not mix with the affairs of the imperial court, because of this, in the eyes of many people, the Six Arts are attached to Wang Anshi, or rather, Wang Anshi is also a person of the Six Arts!

It's just that Wang Anshi knows in his heart that between him and Liuyi, it is just cooperation, and it is far from really forming an alliance of interests!

"Father, the child has the courage to say a word, even if King Xiliang doesn't want to enter Beijing as a minister, but his student Sima Guang has already entered the political hall, and Han Jiang and Wang Ningan are also very close, so you must guard against it!"

Wang Anshi thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "You mean that someone also wants to take the opportunity to kill his father and push someone closer to him to take over the phase?" No! Wang Anshi shook his head again and again, "King Xiliang is not stupid, he won't agree!" ”

"Daddy!" Wang Yan was anxious, "Of course King Xiliang is not stupid, but what about those people under him?" They don't want King Xiliang to preside over the overall situation of the law change? ”

"What, you have news?" Wang Anshi asked in surprise.

Wang Yan shook his head, "The child didn't dare to say it, but this time the explosion of the gunpowder factory was so strange that I asked Cai Qu, and he repeatedly said that he had no problem." If it weren't for Cai Quhu, then it could only be done by the Pan family and the Shi family, both of whom were born in Jiangmen, and they were all holding Wang Ning'an behind their backs! ”

Some people call Wang Yan a little sage, echoing Wang Anshi, the great sage.

Regardless of Wang Yan's scripture skills, but in terms of intrigue and intrigue, Wang Yan is indeed far superior to his father. He also saw the problem of the Shi family and the Pan family, of course, because he didn't know about the alliance, Wang Yan would only guess that behind these two families, it was Wang Ning'an's meaning, even if it was not Wang Ning'an's instructions, it was they who speculated on the mind of King Xiliang and gave Wang Anshi eye medicine.

For his son's words, Wang Anshi has always relied on him very much.

After thinking about it for a while, he had to suspect that it was the Six Arts and the First Family and the conservatives who were making trouble together.

If that's the case, he's in a very bad situation!

However, Wang Anshi believed that he would not return, he groaned for a while, and said to his daughter: "Take good care of your brother, don't let him think nonsense, he has his own countermeasures for his father." ”

Coming out of the house, Wang Anshi did not take a car, but rode straight to the palace.

Along the way, Wang Anshi was constantly thinking about it, he had already ordered to investigate, the situation of the Tengu Eclipse Day, the Royal Academy had already issued a warning, and according to the usual practice, it was sent to the palace first.

But what is surprising is that there is no news in the palace, so it is suppressed.

As a result, there was no time to take precautions, and if it was as expected, there was also a problem in the palace.

It is not unreasonable for the son to suspect Wang Ningan, because the power of the old school in the palace has been almost cleaned up, and they can't use their fists at all, only Wang Ningan can make waves......

"Alas, King Xiliang, the old man thought that you and I could know each other, set an example for a pair of courtiers, change the law together, and prosper the Great Song Dynasty...... It's just that I didn't expect that no one could escape the struggle for power, sad! ”

Wang Anshi thought that it was inevitable that he would lose his mind, but he was negligent for a while, and after passing the Xuande Gate, he didn't get off the horse!

This is a big taboo, whether it is the royal relatives and nobles, or the ministers, when they get here, they must get off the horse and get off the sedan chair, except for His Majesty's personal permission, they can ride horses outside the Xuande Gate, Wang Anshi does not have this privilege.

Therefore, a group of eunuchs immediately rushed out, fierce and vicious, and pounced on Wang Anshi.

The eunuch headed by him is very tall and burly, this guy was originally a gambler, because of his gambling nature, he lost all the family's property, and his daughter-in-law also ran away with others, and finally owed a lot of debts, was confiscated and distributed, and when he arrived in Lingnan and in the army, he still did not change his life, and continued to gamble, but he was beaten by the army and banished.

When he left the barracks, he was stupid, he had no relatives, no money in his pocket, and he was in a foreign land, and he couldn't even understand the local dialect, how could he live?

It happened that at that time, there were people sent by the DPRK and China to recruit eunuchs.

As soon as he thought about it, he would simply give himself a knife, at least he could return to the capital and survive!

Sure enough, he was selected as a eunuch who sprinkled the sweep, and later because he would come to work, he was promoted to the official and was in charge of Xuandemen.

Before he entered the palace, his surname was Zhu, he was the boss, and he was known as Zhu Dalang.

When he arrived in the palace, they all called him Zhu Eunuch.

Seeing that someone dared not to dismount, he was very violent, and immediately rushed forward.

Grabbed Wang Anshi's horse reins, and reached out to pull Wang Anshi.

This can make Wang Anshi's entourage angry, what a noble figure my family is here, and you pickled things can touch it.

They immediately rushed up to stop them, but the family members forgot that the seven rank officials in front of the prime minister's door are true, but in the face of the eunuchs in the palace, you will not be able to do it!

Zhu Eunuch was very bold, and his hands were also black, and he kicked the two Wang family's family members in a row.

At this time, Wang Anshi also woke up from his contemplation, and hurriedly jumped off the horse and scolded the eunuch.

"What are you doing? Don't you see what you are? ”

When the other eunuchs heard this, they were so frightened that they retreated, but Zhu Eunuch, straightened his chest, and sneered: "The slaves and maids are on an errand at the palace gate, just to protect the safety of the palace, if someone swaggers to the palace gate, the slaves and maids will stop them, no matter who it is, even His Royal Highness the Prince, they are treated like this!" ”

"You!"

Wang Anshi was about to reprimand angrily, when suddenly Sima Guang came, he took a few steps and blocked in front of Wang Anshi.

"A slave who has forgotten what she is? There are guards guarding the palace gate, so you don't need to pretend to be garlic! Sima Guang said viciously: "When you look back, you must write a book, and you will be severely punished!" ”

His words can be regarded as relieving Wang Anshi, and wishing the eunuch to retreat, but the fierce light in his eyes turned, and he was not afraid at all, since he dared to stop the prime minister and beat the prime minister's family, he had something to rely on.

Wang Anshi was full of anger, but he couldn't vent it, so he could only follow Sima Guang and go to face the saint together.

This scene that happened in Xuandemen was soon spread all over the capital, and Wang Anshi's people were furious and demanded to punish the eunuchs, but some people said that the eunuchs were loyal and duty-oriented, and there was nothing to find fault with, but Wang Anshi, who had no courtesy, was arrogant, and even ran to the palace to spread wild, and the person who should be severely punished was Wang Anshi!

See, the struggle between the old and new factions has reached a dire level, and any little thing can set off a dispute between the two factions. It's like two piles of dry firewood, and there is only a lack of Mars......

"Wang Aiqing, Sima Aiqing, now there are a lot of attacks on you, some people say that God warns, some people say that you use people improperly, causing chaos in the country, and disturbing the Quartet, what do you say?"

Sima Guang immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, the incompetence of the ministers and others makes Your Majesty worried." The minister has allocated 2 million yuan for disaster relief as appropriate, and the minister has sent a letter to the king of Xiliang in Lanzhou, hoping that he can help resettle some homeless victims. The explosion of the gunpowder factory, Wechen also sent someone to investigate, and there should be a conclusion soon, but the tengu eclipse day, there is no conclusion on this matter, maybe the gentlemen of the Royal Academy can give an explanation. ”

At this time, Wang Anshi suddenly sneered, "The so-called Tengu Eclipse Day, the Royal Academy has already come up with an explanation, it is the result of the operation of the celestial body, it is not a warning from the heavens at all, it can be calculated, and it can be known in advance...... If the sun is so big, if it is eaten by a tengu, how big a dog should it be? Aren't you afraid of burning your stomach through? What kind of change of heaven is simply the deception of ignorant fools! Playing such a fuss is just ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned. The minister thinks that His Majesty should not listen to the words of the villain! ”

Of course, Wang Anshi's words were not wrong, but when Sima Guang heard it, he frowned a little.

I know better than you the truth of the movement of the celestial bodies. It's just that this kind of thing impacts thousands of years of concepts, with the respect of the prime minister, how can it be easily said......

Sima Guang was secretly anxious, Zhao Zhen groaned for a while, and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, you can go down and deal with it." ”

The two ministers left the palace, but Empress Cao appeared in front of Zhao Zhen, and said with displeasure: "Sage, Wang Anshi rode a horse and rushed into the Xuande Gate, but he was bold!" ”
