"Teacher, my disciple has something to ask for my master's opinion." Sima Guang bowed his body, looking extremely humble.

Wang Ningan smiled faintly, the council meeting had just ended, and after the inheritance tax and gift tax were passed, Sima Guang hurried over, I really don't know what this master's plan is!

In the past few years, Sima Guang has also aged a lot, and he is two years older than Wang Anshi, and it is not easy to carry a heavy burden.

Wang Ningan smiled faintly, "Junshi, between you and me, although we are masters and apprentices, we are actually friends, and in many places, you are my teacher!" ”

Sima Guang immediately shook his head, "A teacher for one day, a father for life." The disciples can have today, thanks to the cultivation and support of the master, the disciples are grateful, etched in their hearts! ”

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Junshi, with your talent, it is not difficult to sit in a high position and dominate the world, maybe I delayed you!" ”

"Master said so, the disciple should really apologize with death." Sima Guang hurriedly stood up and stood with his hands down.

Wang Ningan stretched out his hand and asked him to sit down.

"Don't be so angry, tell me, what's the matter?"

Sima Guang Zhengse, "The disciple was interested in cultivating books and writing history in his early years, and now he is also old, and he has worked in the political hall for more than ten years, and he wants to beg for bones and return to his hometown to write, what does the master think?" ”

After he finished speaking, he just stared at Wang Ningan, and his eyes were extremely bright.

Wang Ningan pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Junshi, how did you say this!" Su Zirong's term of office will come next year, whether to continue to be the prime minister for another term, or to hand it over to someone else, it is worth scrutinizing! ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao is Sima Guang also had a heartbeat.

He can't help but jump!

Next year is the tenth year of peace, and Su Song has also been the prime minister for five years.

In contrast, Sima Guang is more eager, at his age, if he can't get on the throne, it's almost the same, it's not good to be the second in ten thousand years, who doesn't want to turn positive!

This time he came in a hurry, and he didn't mean to retreat.

It's just that I didn't expect that the master would take the initiative to mention it, which made Sima Guang very excited, but he was also a little worried, whether it belonged to himself or pretended to be tempted, it was hard to say......

"Master, Su Xiang is doing a good job, he is more suitable than his disciple!"

"Hahaha, Junshi, you can't mean what you say! How can Su Song's talent be compared to yours? ”

Sima Guang immediately said: "Master, the disciple managed the money for the imperial court in his early years, and he had too many dealings with those bankers, and to this day, they all regard the disciple as an agent of the financial group...... The disciple committee is exhausted and difficult to support, and the disciple ......"

He also wanted to say that Wang Ningan stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Junshi, don't care what others think, the pass is you, which side you are on! A person's heart decides to be loyal and treacherous, as long as the heart is not crooked, there is no need to be afraid! Not only for teachers, but also for people all over the world, everyone is watching and knowing! ”

Sima Guang's face was slightly red, and he was very moved.

"When Master says this, the disciple is not afraid of anything! Please rest assured that the disciples will do a good job in implementing the inheritance tax and gift tax this time. ”

Wang Ning'an bowed his head, Sima Guang said goodbye and left, and was sent outside until Wang Ningan returned.

As soon as he returned, there were two more people in the study.

One of them was still squeezing his eyebrows and kept backing away, and the other was smiling and couldn't hold back. These two are Gouya and Xiaoyi.

Wang Ningan snorted at his eldest son, too lazy to say anything to him.

"Tell me, how is Sima Junshi?"

Xiao Yu pointed to his nose, made sure that it was him who asked, and hurriedly smiled: "Of course Senior Brother Junshi is good, no matter how many difficulties he has, he always puts his father first." ”

"Why didn't I see it!" Gouya'er spoke, "Although I have been in the Western Regions in the past few years, I have also heard that it was Sima Guang who stopped it, and the stamp duty was only postponed for two years, otherwise it would be implemented early, and the financial market alone would be able to increase the tax by 10 million, and it would be good to use it to fight the war!" ”

"Shut up!" Wang Ningan slapped the table angrily, "If you're afraid that I will see you, just hide in a place where no one is around, and you don't have to come out to be embarrassed, can't you even understand Xiaoyi's words?" ”

Yes, Sima Guang has a problem!

Dogtooth woke up like a dream, and he showed a vicious fist at Xiao Yu.

was beaten by the eldest brother, Xiao Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly changed the topic, "Dad, I think Sima Jun really wanted to snatch the position of prime minister, so he came to find out." ”

"Impossible!" Gouya'er said categorically: "Your Majesty has long said that Sima Guang is available, but he can't entrust it with big things. What's more, the election of the prime minister has to be recommended by hundreds of officials, and Sima Junshi couldn't get a few votes last time, and this time he can't do it by comparing the number of votes! ”

"But what if it's not a public recommendation from a hundred officials?" Xiao Yu grinned.

The dog was puzzled, "What, do you have to change the rules again?" ”

"It's not to change the rules, now the important ministers of the imperial court, as well as representatives from all over the country, have entered the council, if the council is used to replace the public recommendation of hundreds of officials, wouldn't it be more justifiable!"

"That, that's not right......" Gouya still shook his head, "Even if he enters the political council, Sima Junshi will not be able to get the majority support!" ”

"Wrong! If he is elected at the council, he has a good chance of winning! Xiao Yu said very firmly, Wang Ningan looked at the conversation between the two sons, and he smiled indifferently.

"Xiaoyi, did you go to visit Wen Yanbo?"

Xiao Yu hurriedly stuck out his tongue, completely losing his calm and indifference just now. Such a complicated court situation, the clouds are treacherous, and there are a few who can understand it! Xiao Yu's talent is good, but the heat is still poor. To be able to get to the point so directly, without the guidance of a master, it is absolutely impossible.

Wang Ningan shook his head, very helpless, "Wen Kuanfu, that person, is talented but not virtuous, you can learn his methods and opinions, but a heart must not be led astray by him!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly, without hesitation.

"Actually, it didn't take long for me to figure it out as a father!" Wang Ning'an sighed, Gouya really didn't understand, he could only look at his younger brother, Xiao Yan muttered: "The council has just started, and the science side can explain the imperial court budget so clearly, and in the extremely unfavorable situation of the number of people, dare to make trouble, there are only two possibilities, one is a broken head, and the other is something to rely on!" ”

The dogtooth finally turned around.

"So, is it Sima Junshi who colluded with the people of science? If this is the case, he will absorb the vote of science and get the support of some financial forces, and maybe he can really become the prime minister! Gouya'er shook his head again, "It still doesn't work, Sima Guang is not stupid, Science and Financial Group are not all the way, even if he sits on it, he will be in chaos." ”

"Then you have to sit on it first!" Xiao Yan sighed: "I guess Sima Guang didn't think so far at all, he just went to the prime minister, after all, Huan Hai has been in the sea for decades, who doesn't want to reach the top...... can be like our father, who says to put it down, and there are few people who look at the annals of history. ”

"Oh...... Oh, yes! Dogtooth exclaimed, "Old man, you are very great! ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw a black thing, smashing it on the head, the dog tooth was so frightened that he flashed, and quickly dodged, while running, he also said: "That's a duan inkstone, it will kill if you hit it on the head, I'm not smart in the first place, and I'm stupid again, what should I do with so many of your grandchildren?" ”

The front is still a human talk, but when the last sentence came out, Wang Ningan reached out and lifted the bright paper cutter, so frightened that he ran away, and only the father and son were left in the study.

"Eliminate gas, eliminate gas." Xiao Yu hurriedly brought a plate of pears.

Wang Ningan pushed to the side and sighed vigorously.

"This rebel is a bastard!" Wang Ningan shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about him first, tell me your opinion...... Or, it's Wen Kuanfu's opinion! ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Although science is not good, it will definitely make a comeback, and my father ...... Looks like you can't do it against them anymore! ”

Wang Ningan did not refute, and this is indeed the case.

When Rigaku began to support the protection of private property, in fact, they were not much different from the forces represented by Wang Ning'an...... At this time, no one still thinks of opposing the development of industry and commerce, and wants to return to the status quo that existed decades ago.

But because of this, it becomes tricky.

Science is to stand on the side of the upper echelons of industry and commerce, the rich, and the richest, waving the flag for them and charging into battle...... Wang Ningan is well aware of a truth, politicians should first maintain social fairness and reasonableness, and do not suffer from inequality.

Most of the dynasties of the past will suppress annexation, this is the reason.

Of course, Wang Ningan supports the development of industry and commerce, but development alone is not enough, it is necessary to restrain and standardize...... If the science of science, or the financial group, were to seize power, and instead of restricting the most powerful group of people, they connived at it, and even aided and abetted it, then the Great Song Dynasty would not be far from prosperity and decline, and the achievements accumulated over the years would definitely be ruined.

"The most difficult thing in the world is that you have me, I have you...... It's like the medicine of the tiger and wolf, you can't do without it, but if you have too much, you will die. What the father is thinking about now is really just one thing...... The Great Song Dynasty needs a relatively neutral and fair ruling core, which can always maintain justice and uphold justice, as long as we are not chaotic, outsiders can't do anything to us! However, this matter is too difficult, there are too many people who only focus on their own interests, without the slightest sense of crisis, no wonder the successive dynasties have alternated between rise and fall, just a few decades, it is really terrible! ”

Wang Ning'an used such heavy words, Xiao Yu's heart moved, he suddenly had an urge to cry, dad has always seen farther than others over the years, thinking more than others, he is really tired!

"Dad, the child is willing to share his father's worries, and the child knows what his father thinks!"

Wang Ningan looked at his slightly immature son, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't think that if you go to Bohai and conduct research in the private sector for a few years, you will be able to govern the country and level the world, you kid is still on fire!" You're not qualified to participate in this round, so take a look! ”

Xiao Yu clenched his fists silently...... Just a few days later, suddenly at Xijing Railway Station, there was a fire, an area the size of 5 polo fields turned into ashes, and the most surprising thing was that in the middle of the ashes, there were more than 200 corpses, all of which were burned to death!

What is even more surprising is that these people are not among the members of the yamen—they are slaves!
