With Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Zhang Fangping several important ministers rushed back to Xijing, the Great Song Dynasty's rulers were all in place, and today's early dynasty is the moment when all the rulers appear together. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
What is rare is that Wang Anshi, who has always been unkempt, actually dressed up for the first time, washed off his dirt, and changed into a brand-new court dress, hair and beard, and was meticulously organized.
Speaking of which, Wang Anshi still looks very good, he is an old handsome guy, but he is too sloppy, which affects his appearance, and he has a new look today, which is really refreshing.
"Brother Jiefu, you came early enough!"
Sima Guang took the initiative to say hello, compared to Wang Anshi's loneliness and weirdness, Sima Guang is full of warmth and jade, handsome, good family, good learning, and has made a lot of contributions, the ministers of the court and the central government are willing to make friends with Sima Guang, and Guangguang is long-sleeved and good at dancing, regardless of whether he is in the middle level of the job, or the last grade, he can talk about it.
Even if it is Wang Anshi, the relationship between the two is not bad, and they appreciate each other very much.
"Brother Jiefu, have you seen the letter of the Qingtang Envoy Ghost Chapter?"
Wang Anshi nodded, "Arrogant and bold, I don't know whether I live or die!" β
Sima Guang gave a thumbs up, "Good review!" In my opinion, I'm afraid I'm going to attack Qingtang! β
"It should have been like this a long time ago, killing chickens and monkeys, you can't just kill the internal thieves, and you can't let go of the outside!" Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows, murderous, "The political hall must fully support it, it depends on whether your three divisions can get the money?" β
Sima Guang smiled, "During this time, I rectified the finances, cut down a lot of corrupt officials, and confiscated family property. β
He stretched out a finger to represent 10 million guan!
Wang Anshi showed a relieved smile and gave a thumbs up!
The officials were talking in twos and threes, and the early dynasty was getting closer and closer, and at this time, the troika came almost indiscriminately, and the first carriage came down was a tall and heroic figure, it was Di Qing, the privy envoy of the Taiwei!
In the past, Di Qing was born as a thief and a soldier, with a golden seal on his face, and among a group of civil officials, he stood out from the crowd and was very excluded, and he was particularly aggrieved as a privy envoy for several years.
This time it's very different!
The common people all know that the champion Lang, who had unlimited scenery back then, has become the biggest corrupt official in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, and his head has been cut off!
And the thieves of that year were matched with the army, born and died, the northwest was bloody, and the credit was poured into the sky.
It's clear who a good guy is!
In the face of Di Qing, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to underestimate him, on the contrary, there were many people who lowered their heads and were ashamed.
Di Qing was very kind, smiled at everyone, and then stood aside. He came down for a long time, but the two carriages behind him did not move.
After waiting for a while, the curtain was lifted at the same time, and two people walked down from inside.
Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, Finance Minister Wang Ning'an!
In front of a group of new recruits, the two of them are indeed old qualifications, Wen Yanbo has a bunch of former officials, and there are decades of ups and downs in the sea, so it goes without saying.
As for Wang Ning'an, he has also been in infinite scenery over the years, and his apprentice Sima Guang has become the third envoy, Wang Ning'an is like a new giant in the imperial court, and Wen Yanbo is an important minister on the same level.
"Brother Kuanfu!"
"Brother Jingping!"
The two of them hugged their fists at the same time to greet each other, and many people were stunned, only then did they know that Wang Ningan had a table word.
The ancients had names, characters, and numbers.
The name is given by the parents, and the word is given by the teacher, with the word, the name is not called, in order to show respect for the parents, and when the age is a little older, the status is respected, they will take a number by themselves, so that the protΓ©gΓ© disciples are convenient to call, to show respect for the teacher.
Wang Ningan's status has long been enough, and he is over twenty years old, so he should have words.
It's just that he doesn't have a master, and no one dares to be a master for him, so he has never had a word.
Now that almost all the old ministers of the court have withered, there is a group of Mesozoic generations left, and many of them are not as good as Wang Ning'an, how can they express their cordiality? Can you call him by his name, or call him Wang Erlang?
Obviously not suitable.
Just three days ago, Wang Ningan went to visit Fan Zhongyan.
After Han Qi was executed, Lao Fan fell ill again, and the old man only had a handful of bones left.
Seeing Wang Ning'an coming to visit, Fan Zhongyan held his sick body, took Wang Ningan's hand, and talked about the events of the year. He and Han Qi were both officials under Xia Zhu and joined forces to deal with Western Xia.
"There is a Han in the army, and Xixia is cold. There was a fan in the army, and the Western Xia was shocked when he heard it. Fan Zhongyan read this nursery rhyme and smiled, "Erlang, do you know where this nursery rhyme came from?" β
Wang Ningan said with a smile: "I heard that it was Fan Xianggong and Han Qi who were in the northwest to shock Yuanhao, and the people were impressed, so it spread very widely and everyone knew it!" β
"Hahaha!" Fan Zhongyan laughed at himself, "The old man is incompetent, he has not won for a while, he has not regained an inch of land, how can the people be so praised, the old man once wanted to order the people not to spread it indiscriminately, but Han Zhigui told me that folk songs can soothe people's hearts and forbid them, but they chilled the hearts of the people...... The old man knew at that time that this ballad was written by Han Zhigui. β
Wang Ning'an said twice, "Fan Xianggong, at that time, you saw that Han Qi was not a real gentleman, right?" β
"That's right, this person is indeed unparalleled in talent, but his selfishness is too heavy, and his desire for power is too deep, so that he forgets his original heart. He fell into a different place, and he was to blame. However, Han Zhigui's words before he died were not false, the Northwest fiasco was too deeply injured for us old guys! Your Majesty is the same! β
Fan Zhongyan's hand couldn't help but clench.
"Li Yuanhao defeated the Great Song Dynasty in our hands, established a country on his own, and the northwest territory was lost, thousands of miles of land, millions of living beings, all separated from the Great Song Dynasty...... This is cutting flesh on the body, and it hurts to the bone marrow! β
Fan Zhongyan sighed: "If we don't take back the northwest, we people will die blindly!" β
In his last life, Wang Ningan's understanding of Fan Zhongyan was limited to the sentence "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", in this life, they have been together for nearly ten years, and the old husband is upright, for the country and the people, the most rare, Fan Zhongyan is the same on the outside and on the inside, and it has always remained the same.
He did not have the slightest change and vacillation like Han Qi and Fu Bi.
If Fan Zhongyan can learn to bow his head and learn to change, maybe he can make a comeback...... It is precisely because of this that the old gentleman is precious.
Thinking of this, Wang Ningan lifted his robe and knelt solemnly on the ground.
"Fan Xianggong, when you were old, you intended to accept the late life, but the late life was perverse and frivolous, and you missed the opportunity...... I want to worship your old door tonight, and I ask Fan Xianggong for permission! β
As he spoke, Wang Ningan knelt down.
After a while, Fan Zhongyan twisted his beard and laughed, "Erlang, you are giving the old man a big face!" As a teacher, the old man has nothing to teach you, how dare he be a teacher for you! β
"No!" Wang Ningan said firmly: "Mr. has impeccable character. Later life also has to preside over a law change, throughout the ages, the successful change of the law, only Shang Jun alone. However, Shang Jun inevitably committed suicide and ended bleakly. If you can succeed in your later life and seek a career for the country, you will not be killed in politics and your body will be in a different place...... It's all about one article, two proverbs! β
"The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world!"
Fan Zhongyan chattered twice, and suddenly smiled: "Although the old man wrote these two sentences, he didn't really do it, I hope Erlang can fulfill his wish for the old man!" β
"That's it, from today on, you are Fan Zhongyan's disciple, and you will be given the word Jingping for the teacher, the greatest to the flat, the sea is inclusive, and the inclusiveness can be successful, and the Great Song Dynasty will be prosperous!"
β¦β¦
There is no simple character in any officialdom.
When everyone learned that Wang Ning'an officially visited Fan Zhongyan, they all had relatives.
There is no doubt that Lao Fan is still the leader of Shilin, and many of the old ministers of Qingli back then still have to look at Fan Zhongyan's face.
Wang Ningan collapsed Han Qi and directly cut off his head.
It really angered the civilian clique and offended many former ministers, although they couldn't oppose it on the surface, and they didn't dare to oppose it, but they may not be in private and will not make trouble and harm people.
At this time, worshipping Fan Zhongyan was obviously to show goodwill to the old ministers of Qingli, and to obtain Fan Zhongyan's support and understanding, which helped to resolve the contradictions with the old ministers.
Even if you are a strong character, you must learn to combine rigidity and softness, and compromise appropriately.
Obviously, Wang Ningan is also improving.
Wen Yanbo was full of bitterness, he didn't expect Wang Ningan to make such a move, it seems that this kid is also exquisite, and he will have to be more careful in the future.
After a short greeting, the palace door was opened, and the important ministers led the hundred officials to enter the Daqing Palace.
Today, Zhao Zhen is also very energetic, and the monarch and the minister quickly dealt with some tricky affairs, and then entered the main drama, and the Qingtang envoy Ghost Zhang was announced into the main hall.
Ghost Zhang is Dong Yu's henchman general, thirty or forty years old, with a big beard, a very strong body, and a pair of eyes, revealing a cunning light!
"The foreign minister meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
He bowed at ninety degrees.
Without waiting to say flat, he raised his head.
Liu Xin, the new governor of the Governor's Office, snorted, "Your master Dong Yu is just a young son, and he is still a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, when will you be counted as a foreign minister?" Could it be that Qingtang has already stood on his own? β
Wang Jue also followed and said: "If you are not self-reliant, you are the minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will not kneel down for the saint!" β
Ghost Zhang raised his head, not afraid at all, "I, the Qing Tang Dynasty, have 100,000 people with armor, and I have defeated the Western Xia several times, and even Li Yuanhao is not the opponent of the Qing Dynasty, let me ask, why do you want to be below the Great Song Dynasty?" β
Zhang Fangping spoke, and he said coldly: "Your envoy is here, isn't it a war book, and you want to fight with my Great Song Dynasty?" β
"Don't dare!"
Ghost Zhang smiled: "My lord has always admired the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, hoping to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty and fight against the Western Xia...... Very unfriendly! My father-in-law hopes that Da Song can rein in the precipice and stop going his own way! In addition, my father-in-law is young, heroic and wise, and he is a rare big hero, a big hero! I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can give the princess to my lord, and the two sides will form a son-in-law, kissing each other, wouldn't it be a beautiful talk! β
After saying that, the guy laughed and looked confident.
