Wang Anshi and Su Song have entered the final stage, according to the process, they need to be made public, and then Zhao Shu will select the final candidate to show his grace.

It's just this result, I'm afraid that many people are dumbfounded.

Everyone knows that Zhao Shu is inclined to his father-in-law Wang Anshi, while King Yan favors Su Song, and when he comes to this point, does he have to become a duel between a saint and King Yan?

I'm really afraid of something!

Everyone was worried, but Wen Yanbo, who was "miserable" out, laughed heartily and was overjoyed.

When he returned home, he closed his door on the surface, but he couldn't stop smiling.

I prepared the best food and drink, and I was so happy!

"Dad, I still haven't figured it out, what the hell is going on?" Wen Jifu was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask for advice.

Wen Yanbo is in a good mood, so he is naturally willing to solve his son's doubts, and at the same time, he also needs to brag about it to satisfy his vanity.

"Let's talk about Su Song first, do you know why he only got so many votes, who didn't vote for him?"

Wen Jifu thought for a while and hesitated: "Is it Zeng Bu?" ”

"Clever!" Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Zeng Bu is a very ambitious person, in the same department, he is only a step worse than Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dian, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to participate in the competition, but the problem is that Su Song is just a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and his official position is still under Zeng Bu, how can he convince people!" ”

Wen Jifu suddenly brightened, "I understand, it turned out that Zeng Bu was dissatisfied when he saw his subordinates crossing him, so he pulled the group of people from the Ministry of Industry and turned against him?" ”

"That's right, because of this, Su Song can't come out!"

"Then, what about Wang Anshi's ticket? What's going on? ”

"This is for my father, I asked our people to give the ticket to Wang Anshi! So he was in the first round to narrowly defeat Su Song by one vote! ”

"I see, what about Sima Guang? He has been in business for so many years, and there don't seem to be many tickets for the first round! ”

Wen Yanbo laughed, "Not much? Without your father, he would have even less! ”

"What's going on?" Wen Jifu was very curious.

"Sima Junshi and Wang Ning'an learned the ability to accumulate money, and they increased the issuance of currency, reformed the gold yuan, and lowered the interest rate at every turn...... Let me ask you, above this court, there are so many officials, how many people are leading the factory and the silk workshop behind their backs? The big guys work hard and make money by investing, but they are good, just by playing tricks, fiddling with funds, earning interest, and earning the stock market...... If you don't do anything, you will be full of brains, and people who don't like Sima Guang can be ranked in Tokyo in Xijing! Wen Yanbo smiled contemptuously, "Otherwise, how could Wang Ningan not choose Sima Guang to succeed him!" He knew in his heart that if Sima Guang was really allowed to go up, those who invested in the industry would cry, and the world would become a gambler's world! ”

……

Lao Wen said something to make the mystery of the first round of voting clear.

Su Song's votes were not enough, the reason was the betrayal of Zeng Bu, Zeng Gong, and some officials, of course, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun did not fully support him, which caused him embarrassment.

In this way, a situation is formed in which the three of them are very close to each other.

Then entered the second round, Sima Guang and the financial group he represented were disgusted by too many people...... It's not surprising that whoever works hard and saves money little by little, how can they be happy to see a group of people who do nothing and have fat brains by sucking blood?

So in the second round, Sima Guang was eliminated.

At this time, although the tickets of the six arts returned and poured into Su Song, because of the loss of the opportunity, Wang Anshi had such a big advantage, and the entire centrist fell to Wang Anshi, coupled with the strength of Xinxue itself, as well as the tendency of the Son of Heaven, Wang Anshi got the most votes!

Now it seems that if nothing else, Wang Anshi will definitely become prime minister!

Wen Jifu is full of loss!

"Dad, aren't you working in vain!"

"Wrong!"

Wen Yanbo said categorically: "Boy, you are still too tender, at this time, whoever rushes to the front will die the fastest!" To be a father is to let Wang Anshi and Su Song fall together! ”

"Ahh

Wen Jifu exclaimed, "Dad, if both of them are finished, doesn't that mean that only you and Sima Guang are qualified to compete for prime minister?" ”

Wen Yanbo smiled slightly, he grabbed the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and smiled like a fox.

"Think about it, just with Sima Guang's popularity, can you fight as a father?" Wen Yanbo was very proud, "After all, it was the emperor's circle election in the end, not Wang Ningan's decision...... Wang Erlang, although he is not very good, but he still abides by the rules, and it is precisely because of this that he can show his skills for his father, otherwise he gave a strict order, Su Song would be able to win in the first round, and there would not be so much trouble at all! It's a pity, he pretends to be garlic and pretends to be high! Okay this time, the old man will see how he ends! ”

Wen Yanbo's eyes narrowed, he flew up proudly, and said, "Cai is indeed that stupid man?" ”

"Well, he got a sum of money and went to the Khitan to sweep the goods." Wen Jifu lowered his voice, "Dad, our people also went, and a batch of counterfeit banknotes was prepared...... If you throw this money out, the Khitan won't be able to mess up! ”

Wen Jifu held his breath and waited for his father's decision.

Wen Yanbo thought about it again and again, but in the end he didn't nod, he said in a low voice: "Don't think that Wang Ningan is going to retreat, it doesn't matter." He is too deep, and he hasn't made a move yet, so he has to guard against it...... It doesn't matter if it's me or Wang Anshi, no one can withstand his fatal blow...... Therefore, as a father, you must not give Wang Ningan a chance, you pass the order, and the counterfeit money will be taken back immediately, and you must not show the slightest hint of horseback! ”

Wen Jifu thought about it a little and understood that his father would rather take the least number of votes and be ridiculed by hundreds of officials, which is to dispel Wang Ningan's scruples, at this juncture, protecting himself is always more important than destroying the enemy!

Daddy is a master!

Wen Jifu was so impressed that he hurriedly arranged it according to his father's instructions.

The father and son were discussing tricks, but Wang Anshi was jubilant, Wang Yan was very satisfied, his father was ahead in the votes, and the right to choose was in the hands of Zhao Shu, no matter what, the son-in-law did not dare not choose his father-in-law.

"Dad, I think so, you should go and meet King Yan and talk to him, even if you become the prime minister, you will not overthrow King Yan's national policy, and you will continue to reuse King Yan's subordinates...... Pacify him first, and then wait for him to gain a firm foothold, and then eradicate the power of King Yan little by little, and then he will be able to grasp the power. ”

Uncle Wang was excitedly planning the future path, but he didn't notice that Wang Anshi's face was black!

Suddenly, the prime minister slapped the table!

"What's going on?"

This made Wang Yan stupid, "What's going on?" ”

"I ask you, why are there dozens of extra votes?"

Wang Anshi is not a fool, he has estimated for himself, at most 70 votes, in fact, it is a lot to have fifty or sixty votes, after all, his foundation is not deep enough, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a yamen that offends people.

But in the first round, he got 105 votes, of which at least 40 votes were over, where did these people come from?

On the way back, Wang Anshi kept thinking, he felt that the source of the votes should be Wen Yanbo, but why did Wen Yanbo pour the votes into him?

"Rebel, you kneel down for me!"

Wang Yan was reluctant, but his knees were still weak and he knelt on the ground.

He was really aggrieved in his heart, "Dad, the child is dedicated to assisting his father and realizing his father's wish to dominate the world, but the child really doesn't understand why the father treats the child as an enemy!" The child is wronged! ”

Wang Yan's tears flowed.

But the reluctant minister is not soft-hearted at all!

"Yuan Ze, you must tell the truth to your father! Did you collude with Wen Kuanfu's people? ”

"No, absolutely not, how could my father think that?"

"Not like I thought!" Wang Anshi trembled with anger, "Do you know who Wen Yanbo is?" How much calculation does that old guy have? Take the last time as a father, King Yan, and him, we went to deal with the matter of Cao Yun together, for the father is to see with his own eyes, King Yan has done it a few times, and he wants to do it with Wen Yanbo and the gentry in the southeast! But this old man is more slippery than a loach, not only did he not suffer a loss, but he also became the main examiner of Xiucai, and the new generation of officials in the southeast regarded him as a division commander...... After so many years, the characters that King Yan can't take, do you think you can take advantage of Wen Yanbo? Father is worried, you want to pit our family into it? ”

……

Wang Anshi spoke bitterly and taught a lesson, but Wang Yan didn't listen much, he secretly thought in his heart how powerful Wen Yanbo could be? Now Daddy is already in everyone's expectations, and he is only one step away from the Prime Minister.

Even King Yan can't turn the tables, let alone Wen Kuanfu?

That's impossible!

Daddy is too gentleman! A gentleman can bully his side, if Dad wants to succeed, he can't do without him, Dad is responsible for the light, he is responsible for the dark, father and son are of the same heart, so that they can look down on him!

Now Uncle Wang is the most angry is that his father not only doesn't listen to him, but also guards him everywhere and treats him as a villain, so Wang Yan is extremely depressed!

Daddy, I'm all for you!

Wang Anshi tortured him in every possible way, but Wang Yan just bit it to death and refused to admit it, so that he had no choice, and at this time, someone suddenly came.

"Xiangye, King Yan is in a hurry!"

"What?" Wang Anshi asked rhetorically.

The family hurriedly repeated: "King Yan sent someone over, saying that there is a military matter, please go over immediately!" ”

Wang Anshi had to hurry to the political hall.

As soon as he arrived, he found that several important ministers, including Zhang Xuan, the secretary of the military department, Wang Shao, the secretary of the general staff, Han Zongwu, the secretary of the household department, and so on, had all arrived.

Wang Ningan's face was gloomy, and he was holding a secret report in his hand.

"I just got the news that in the direction of Liaodong, the Jurchens have made a rebellion, captured the Liao State and Shangjing, and have established themselves as a country, with the title of Dajin!" Wang Ning'an glanced at a few people, and then said: "There are also the remnants of the Liao State, gathered in Mobei and supported the crown prince Yelu Jun as the emperor...... Please come over to discuss how to deal with it! ”

Wang Anshi was so shocked that his face changed color, and he said in his heart that Yelu Hongji had just been arrested, the Khitan was finished, and the Jurchens surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, how could there be a sudden mess?

He was full of puzzlement, but he heard Zhang Dun say quietly: "The military department has also received a report that someone rushed to buy cattle, sheep and horses with counterfeit banknotes, and died ......
