Lao Wen waited in the guest room for a while, Zhang Fangping appeared slowly, his steps were faltering, he hadn't seen him for a long time, Lao Wen didn't dare to recognize it, Zhang Fangping didn't have a single black hair on his head, all of them were white, his cheeks were crawling with age spots, his back was crooked, his movements were slow, and his eyes were dull...... From top to bottom, from left to right, no matter how you look at it, he is an old man who will not live long, and he is much older than Wen Yanbo!

"Brother Andao, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Fangping raised his head and smiled bitterly twice.

"Brother Kuanfu, it's the younger brother who doesn't measure his own strength and suffers by himself, so he has today's end, I'm really ashamed!" Zhang Fangping lowered his head, faceless.

How high you are held, how hard you fall!

A few days ago, he was lifted to the sky, as if he was a living immortal like a god, but in the blink of an eye, most of Tianzhu's chaos was solved, and his prophecy was in vain.

Zhang Xianggong is a face-saving person, thinking about the ridicule and ridicule he has to face, his eyes are blackened for a while, and he has a face and becomes a clown, it is better to die.

Zhang Fangping really had the heart to hang himself, and he was even ready.

But who knew that it was Sima Guang first, and then Wen Yanbo, the two of them visited one after another, which made Zhang Fangping confused, why, he lost such a big person, but he was blessed by misfortune?

"Brother Kuanfu, what do you have to teach when you come to visit?"

Wen Yanbo smiled indifferently, "I don't dare to say it, in fact, I don't think Brother An Dao needs to mind it so much, ups and downs are common, and it's not a big deal to look away." ”

Which pot is not opened, Zhang Fangping's old face is even more miserable.

He is different from Wen Yanbo, he does not have the physique of a tumbler, and he has planted such a big heel in his life, which is enough to be fatal.

"Brother Kuanfu doesn't have to comfort the younger brother, I am to blame, no matter how the court disposes of it, I admit it, even if I disturb the morale of the army and rub the morale, let them go, it's a big deal to take this head away......"

"Don't!"

Wen Yanbo hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother An Dao, to put it mildly, there are not a few left in our generation, although you have planted a heel, but you will not put your life into it, and you want to open a little." ”

"No!" Zhang Fangping was also stubborn, he shook his head and said: "Based on the rebellion in Tianzhu, I attacked the princes of the political hall, opposed the reform of the bank, and even sent a secret recital to His Majesty to denounce Wang Ningan...... What should be done, what should not be done, I have done it, now the prince of Qin has made great contributions, the Tianzhu rebellion has subsided in a blink of an eye, the old man is wrong, the political hall will not let me go, Brother Kuanfu, the younger brother is afraid that he will not survive, if you can help me take care of my family, the younger brother is grateful, please! ”

Saying that, Zhang Fangping was full of tears, sad and angry.

Wen Yanbo looked at him, and in the end, there was only a sigh left.

"Brother Antao, whoever is right and wrong, I won't talk to you...... I just want to tell you that there is room for relaxation. ”

"Can it be eased? I don't believe it, don't coax the little brother! ”

Wen Yanbo's face sank, "You listen to me, King Qin is still reasonable, you just said something in your heart, you didn't take any action, my Great Song has never been convicted for words, even if Brother An Dao affects the morale of the army, he will not be killed." Besides, it can be remedied! ”

"Remedy? How to remedy? Zhang Fangping thought hard and meditated, but there was no way, otherwise how could he think of committing suicide! Could it be that Wen Yanbo really has the ability to turn things around and reverse black and white?

You must know that the words Zhang Fangping said have been written in black and white, almost all newspapers, and they can't be relied on, and the explanation is not clear......

"Brother Antao, what you said, of course you can't take it back, and you can't erase it...... I think your judgment may not be unreasonable, in fact, after the expansion of the Tianzhu Rebellion, almost everyone thought that it would be delayed for a long time, and there are many places similar to your views. ”

"But only the little brother said it the most!" Zhang Fangping is still worried.

"Hahaha, Brother An Dao, we all have the same opinion, Tianzhu's rebellion is difficult to solve...... However, the king of Qin strategized and arranged the men and horses in advance, and the prince Wang Zonghan was brave and fearless, commanded Ruoding, and pacified the rebels that no one could solve in a flash. King Qin's father and son are the pillars of my Great Song Dynasty, and they saved the Great Song Dynasty from a catastrophe, which is amazing! ”

Wen Yanbo's tone was exaggerated, and he praised the Wang family father and son to the sky, obviously, there is not a small gap with the facts. Zhang Fangping's brain was a little sluggish, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

"Brother Kuanfu, do you mean to give all the credit to King Qin's father and son?"

"It can't be said that it belongs to King Qin, just tell the truth!"

Burst!

Zhang Fangping vomited blood, he finally saw Wen Yanbo's shamelessness, you old guy is really shameless!

After a little hesitation, Zhang Fangping shook his head, "I can't do it, I scolded Wang Ningan so much before, now let me praise him, it's better to kill me!" ”

"Brother Antao, you're too stubborn!" Wen Yanbo said bitterly: "You only said that you failed to understand the layout of King Qin, and underestimated the wisdom of King Qin, you sincerely apologize, everyone can accept it, at most it is a miscalculation, with the old man being thoughtful, no one can touch you." ”

Zhang Fangping scolded in his heart!

surnamed Wen, if I am willing to admit my mistake and throw an old face out, even without you, I won't lose my head!

"Brother Kuanfu, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Let me take my words back, I, I can't do it! ”

"You!"

Wen Yanbo was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Fangping's head with his finger, "Brother An Dao, you are also everyone, and you can't even stretch and bend!" I ask you, how many sons do you have, how many grandchildren? ”

"I have 5 sons and 17 grandchildren...... What's the matter, Wang Ningan still wants to harm his family? Zhang Fangping was shocked.

"Confused, really confused!" Lao Wen said politely: "Brother Andao, the last time you went to me and mentioned the restoration of the gold standard, don't you still understand who is beneficial to restore the gold standard?" ”

"Yes, to the common people! Isn't it a good thing that the imperial court can't issue money casually, and prices won't rise? ”

Wen Yanbo rolled his eyes, "Why can't you figure it out, restore the gold standard, let paper money be pegged to gold, gold production is limited, and currency issuance will inevitably be insufficient...... At this time, whoever has more money and more gold and silver can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune! Brother Antao, do you understand? ”

Beads of sweat flowed down Zhang Fangping's sideburns, and these few words really hit him to the point.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Fangping always thought that he proposed to restore the gold standard, which was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

Lao Wen said a few words, which directly pierced his last self-confidence.

The return to the gold standard is only beneficial to financial groups. Unknowingly, he became a thug pushed out by financial forces, which made Zhang Fangping very entangled and unacceptable.

But if he didn't accept it, he froze.

Wen Yanbo snorted, just by virtue of your Taoism, you dare to jump out and make waves, it is really bold enough!

"Brother An Dao, in the final analysis, the disturbances these days are all disputes between King Qin and the financial forces, and you are being swept in. When you get to this whirlpool, you can't run away. You are afraid of losing face, you want the dignity of a doctor, and you don't want to change your mouth and slap yourself. What would Wang Ning'an and his disciples think? They will only think that you are mixed up with the financial conglomerate, and they will die and do things for them. Now that both sides are red-eyed, they won't show mercy at all, do you think that one old life is enough? Sorry, not enough! If you don't find a way to do it quickly, your family will die! ”

After Wen Yanbo's on-demand, Zhang Fangping finally realized the terrible situation.

It is not a battle of will, nor is it a matter of face, but a decisive battle between the two sides, only asking about victory and defeat, not about right and wrong...... I am still in the officialdom for so many years, but I haven't seen it through.

Damn, damn it!

For my father, for my ancestors, I hurt my family!

Zhang Fangping suddenly weakened his knees and knelt down.

"Brother Kuanfu, you must save your life! I beg you! ”

More than 70 people, old tears, knelt on the ground, and kept pleading. What kind of dignity do you say, there is really nothing left at this moment!

That's what happens when you're not smart!

Lao Wen didn't sympathize with Zhang Fangping, he came over this time, and he also felt that Zhang Fangping still had the value of use.

"Brother Antao, you get up first."

Finally picked Zhang Fangping up, Wen Yanbo said: "I can't care about face now, Brother An Dao should write an article and publish it immediately." It is necessary to praise the father and son of King Qin, use soldiers like gods, resolve the crisis, and make great contributions, although Zhong Leyi cannot be compared. ”

At this time, what else can Zhang Fangping say.

"I'll write, Brother Kuanfu, that's all it takes?"

"Of course not." Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Brother An Dao, King Qin has worked hard for the country for so many years, implemented law changes, expanded territory, and done things needless to say, the Great Song Dynasty can have today's national strength, but it is inseparable from King Qin!" ”

Zhang Fangping bowed, "That's true, but he is already the king of Qin, the prime minister, and a very popular minister, and he can't be promoted again." ”

Wen Yanbo smiled: "That's right, the official can't be promoted, but other rewards are still okay." ”

"For example?" Zhang Fangping couldn't think of anything.

Wen Yanbo said: "For example, chariots and horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nama, Huben, axes, bows and arrows, and so on. ”

He said a total of nine things, and Zhang Fangping's face turned pale with fright.

"This, this is the gift of Jiuxi!"

"That's right, it's the gift of nine tin, since ancient times, ministers have special honors, they should enjoy the nine tin rituals, the merits of the king of Qin are enough, and the reward of nine tins just reflects the meaning of the imperial court's emphasis on meritorious heroes."

Lao Wen said it seriously, but Zhang Fangping didn't listen to a word, and there was only a large list of fierce names left in his head...... Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Sima Zhao......

"Xianggong Wen, this is to usurp the throne!"

Lao Wen sank his face, "It's not that serious, I didn't say that nine things were given together, just picking up a few of them, it can also show the merits of King Qin, what's not to do?" ”

Zhang Fangping finally nodded, and said to himself: "That's the case...... I can't believe that your thoughts coincide? ”

"Who?" Lao Wen asked in surprise, he didn't tell anyone else!

"Sima Junshi, he just came to see me, and that's what he said." Zhang Fangping replied truthfully.
