Facing Wang Ningan, Lao Wen looked very humble, owed his body, and even a little grovelly.

"The old man knows everything, and he has no end to his words."

Wang Ningan was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "old", it is true that Wen Yanbo is old, but he may not be "immortal"!

"Brother Kuanfu, Sima Jun is really my disciple." Wang Ningan said in a low voice: "How much do you know about him?" ”

Wen Yanbo did not hesitate, and said directly: "Back to King Qin's words, Sima Junshi still respects the master in his heart, but he is a little helpless. ”

"Helpless? Wang Ningan was stunned, "Could it be that even I can't help?" ”

Lao Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lord Wang, Sima Jun has no queen, who can help with this favor?" ”

"Ahh

Wang Ningan's face changed, how could he forget about this!

In fact, Sima Guang is not childless, he has two sons, one is named Sima Tang and the other is Sima Tong, but these two children died early.

Sima Guang and his wife have a deep relationship, they are unwilling to take concubines, and they are also old, so they can only adopt a son from the eldest brother, named Sima Kang, as his stepson.

This situation is endless, for example, Bao Zheng has no descendants, and some people propose to succeed from the same sect, when Zhao Zhen was in power, and the ministers also forced the emperor to succeed the son of King Runan.

Bao Zheng felt that if he had a child, he had the intention of coercing the monarch's father, so he refused, and later a concubine went out of Bao Zheng's house, but she became pregnant and returned to the Bao family, claiming to be Bao Zheng's descendant.

Lao Bao gladly accepted, but this child did not rely on his father to soar, but only became a few petty officials and continued the incense......

"Lao Bao's second son is honest and upright, enough to carry the style of the Bao family, but Sima Junshi is not so blessed, his stepson is not very good!" Wen Yanbo sighed mournfully: "Have you heard that Sima Junshi wrote an article called "Discipline and Thrift"? Among them, this Kang is Sima Kang! ”

Wang Ningan nodded, "Of course I've heard it, this is a rare and good article, and my children and grandchildren have also read it. ”

Wen Yanbo laughed, "Lord Wang, the article is a good article, but at the beginning of the sentence, Sima Guang said, 'My Han family', this is an out-and-out lie!" ”

Sima Guang's father, who was a Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and Pang Xianggong is a world friend, as soon as he entered the officialdom, he was cared for, and it was indeed not comparable to the poor family.

Of course, the article pays attention to penmanship, just like writing, it can't all be true, it always has to be dealt with, and it can't be studied in detail.

But Sima Guang's ability to write an article to teach his son a lesson shows where his worries lie......

"Brother Kuanfu, isn't Sima Kang like talking?"

"Hahaha, it's not as simple as it says!" Wen Yanbo laughed loudly: "This Sima Kang is young and smart, good-looking, and can speak, after passing to Sima Guang, the two of them regard it as a pearl in their palms and take care of it, especially Mrs., and they are even more unwilling to let their son suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Wang Ning'an bowed, as a stepfather and stepmother, it is indeed not good to speak harshly, it doesn't matter if he is beaten and scolded by his own son, but after all, his stepson is separated by a layer, his father is still there, Sima Jun really doesn't want to be ashamed.

Speaking of which, Sima Kang is really competitive, very good at reading, and very literate. Sima Guang was preparing to revise the book in private, he was busy with government affairs, and the preparation work was all done by Sima Kang.

He sorted out the historical materials, analyzed them in detail, and was very concise. Sima Guang was surprised, and in the same year, he was admitted to the Jinshi again, and Sima Guang was even more ecstatic, feeling that there was a successor.

Sima Guang, who has always been cautious and cautious, recommended Sima Kang to supervise the Xijing Grain Institute for the first time.

What does the Grain Institute do?

Manage military rations and salaries, and supervise the storage of warehouses in various places.

It's not a fat difference, it's an oil depot! Oil Mountain!

For so many years, the use of troops abroad, the allocation of grain and grass, and the distribution of supplies to soldiers all had to go through the grain yard, and the grain from the southeast and overseas had to be transported into the Beijing warehouse, and most of it had to go into the grain yard, and if there was a disaster relief, it had to be transferred from the grain yard...... All in all, one out and one in, there is no need to be greedy for ink at all, as long as you report a little more loss, you can earn a brain full of fat and a bowl full of money.

"Because this position is so good, each prison officer works for a maximum of one and a half years, but Sima Kang, he has been working for more than six years, and his father only transferred him before he competed for prime minister, so he didn't have to make a fuss about him!"

Wang Ningan listened to Wen Yanbo's words, his brows were furrowed, it was dark under the lamp, this was dark under the lamp!

He felt that Sima Guang had the ambition to fight for power, but he was not necessarily corrupt and perverted the law...... In fact, Sima Guang is indeed very incorruptible, he is entangled with financial forces, and he is only inclined to them in some interest rate policies, specifically involving money exchanges, and there is never real evidence, otherwise Wang Ningan would not allow him!

And Sima Kang is outstanding, usually polite and conscientious, and he can't see any problems.

As Wang Ning'an's cronies, and the son of Sima Guang, who was once the number one confidant, no one dared to stab Wang Ning'an even if there was anything wrong with Sima Kang.

Because of this, Wang Ningan has not noticed.

However, this time he checked the financial forces, but found the connection with the Sima family from many account books and letters, and Wang Ningan became suspicious.

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, Wen Yanbo may not know about good things, but he bent the law for bribes, harmed the public and private interests, and used power to dump power...... It's impossible for Wen Yanbo not to know this kind of thing, there is no way, this is a specialization in the art industry!

"Brother Kuanfu, Sima Kang is greedy a lot? What's your news? ”

"I don't know how much I am greedy, but Sima Kang has made a lot of real estate." Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "The prince still remembers the things in Yunzhou back then? ”

How could Wang Ning'an forget that at that time, he drove his uncle Wang Yan crazy, and it was precisely that time that Wang Anshi's road to the throne was broken, and he had to launch Su Song, and because Su Song's prestige and status were not enough, after one term, Wang Ningan had to go out of the mountain again...... That incident affected the trend of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the crucial thing, and Lao Wen also lost all his family property at that time, and was driven to Youzhou by Wang Ningan, which was miserable.

The old story was brought up again, and Wang Ningan's face was gloomy.

"Could it be that Sima Kang was also involved in that incident?"

"It's not just implication, the old man has suffered losses in the hands of two people in his life, one of them is Sima Kang, and the other I won't say, you know!"

Wang Ningan snorted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, you just talk about Sima Kang!" ”

"Hmm!" Lao Wen thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Lord Wang, did you suspect Sima Junshi at that time?" ”

Wang Ningan didn't speak with a dark face, obviously acquiescing.

At that time, there was such a big mess, Wang Ningan abolished his uncle Wang Yan in one go, expelled Wen Yanbo, rectified the bank, resumed production, and then Zhao Shu had to recruit in person...... The complicated affairs were intertwined, so that he could not investigate Sima Guang in detail, so he could only put it aside.

However, since then, Wang Ningan has also completely given up the plan to let Sima Guang inherit his power, until the future, he completely abolished Sima Guang, this knot has always existed, and it is getting deeper and deeper, until the master and apprentice break up.

Many years have passed, and Wang Ningan is also very curious about what role Sima Guang played.

"Brother Kuanfu, what do you know?"

"Lord Wang, you knocked out the old man's tens of millions of family properties, especially the real estate in Xijing, and they were all taken away...... But as far as I know, after Sima Jun really won the Khitan, he successively over-issued currency, including the section where you went to Youzhou, and he did the same...... As a result, within five years, the price of land in Luoyang urban area has more than tripled, and there is no market for it...... At that time, Sima Kang only used less than 5 million to occupy a large number of farmland in the suburbs, and then the land soared, the city expanded outward, and the farmland became building land, and the land price rose more than 20 times! The old man's little family property, compared to the Sima family, is really a small thing! ”

Lao Wen chuckled, "Sima Kang, you are really a powerful junior, when it comes to making money, Lord Wang, I'm afraid you can't compare!" ”

Wang Ning'an's face sank, "Brother Kuanfu, since he is so powerful, where did you learn about it?" ”

Wen Yanbo blushed, "I knew that the prince would ask this, the old man is ashamed, this time the petition group was formed, and a lot of financial forces jumped out, they made a lot of money, and the prince also understood that these guys have always bet on both ends, they think that I am the prince's in-laws, adhering to the meaning of the prince, so I revealed some news to the old man." ”

……

Wang Ningan and Wen Yanbo talked for two hours, and Lao Wen told everything he knew without reservation...... I have to say that the two top smart people in the Great Song Dynasty both felt shuddering!

What a Sima Guang!

What a Sima Kang!

They also hid too deeply.

Coming out of the courtyard, Wang Ningan subconsciously wrapped the robe on his body, cold, cold to the bone!

Sima Guang didn't do it from the beginning, he also wanted to be a famous minister, inherit the status of his master, and rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty, and leave his name in history...... But he didn't know that with Wang Ning'an's efforts, the Great Song Dynasty had become different from the original history.

The financial capital behemoth that has been released is looking for puppets all the time, and once they find their weaknesses, it will be difficult to get away with it.

Sima Guang's weakness is that he has no queen, and he attaches too much importance to his stepson Sima Kang.

These people started from Sima Kang, little by little, dragging the entire Sima family into a quagmire, and in the end, Sima Guang also fell into it......

Wang Ningan's scalp is numb, not to mention Sima Guang, his two sons are not the same, how many people want to start from the Wang family and drag him in!

Fortunately, the two rabbit cubs are still competitive, they don't grow crooked, and they don't do too many things to cheat.

Wang Ningan was even a little proud, and in the next second, he became serious.

Junshi, if you are ruthless for the teacher, you are really to blame for your father and son!

"Go, tell Zhang Xianggong, take someone!"

Before talking to Wen Yanbo again, Wang Ningan already had a lot of evidence about Sima Kang, and talked with Lao Wen, firstly, to verify whether the evidence was reliable or not, and secondly, to look at Wen Yanbo, to tell the truth, the old guy is quite honest!

Wang Ningan breathed lightly, "I can finally close the net......"
