[The first update, ask for red tickets, collect]

The cold smile on Zhao Ji's face seemed to be a copy of Wen Yanbo. Da Song Tianzi matured a lot in an instant, and the little innocence in his eyes faded. Eyes swept over the ministers, and everyone suddenly realized that the pressure from the emperor had unconsciously increased a lot. The monarchs and ministers were silent, towering and worshipping the palace, as if they were about to dive into the silent deep sea.

"Your Majesty! The minister has prepared the edict of condolence, and asked His Majesty to read it. ”

Sima Guang spoke, breaking the silence of the stalemate. He held the edict he had just drafted in both hands, and walked forward with a slight bow. When he walked past Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang's steps were a little heavier - he was reminding.

Wen Yanbo has been living in the political hall since the seventh year of Qingli [1047], how can there be an unfamiliar truth in the story of the court? But he urged the Son of Heaven to drive Wang Jiefu out of the court, but he didn't care about Wang Jiefu's face at all, and he didn't even care about the usual stories. Can this really be done? No, it will provoke the emperor's disgust!

Since the Renzong Dynasty, officials above the servant system have invited the county, except for Cai Xiang, who offended Emperor Yingzong in the matter of building a prince, which one did not issue an edict to comfort and stay a few times before it was approved? ! Although the new law that Wang Anshi came up with is to disrupt the country's politics, his intention is not for himself. The Son of Heaven knows this. Even if he wants to remove him, he will inevitably feel guilty in his heart, how can he accept his resignation?!

Sima Guang sighed for Wen Yanbo's gaffe, he is called caring and messy! Wen Yanbo has always been known for his steadiness and resourcefulness. When the horn is over, it is known that the ball in the tree hole will float out with water. Like himself, he became famous at a young age. But now look at him, what should not be said is said, and what should not be done is done. When the Son of Heaven comes back to his senses, what will he think in his heart? No, looking at the appearance of the Son of Heaven, he has already understood. There are some things that should not be explained thoroughly, and they cannot be explained thoroughly, but they are explained thoroughly, which is called self-defeating!

"Sima Qing, quickly bring the edict."

Sima Guang presented the prepared edict with both hands, and asked a small yellow door attendant to take the edict and unfold it in front of Zhao Ji's eyes.

“…… Now the scholars are boiling, and the people are in turmoil, but they want to return the task and retreat. Qing's private conspiracy is solid and has no regrets, what I hope for, who will I entrust? ”

Zhao Ji thought silently, nodding slightly unconsciously. Because of a little grievance, he left political affairs and ignored it, and said that he was sick and wanted to go out of Beijing, for Wang Anshi's approach, Zhao Ji actually had some complaints in his heart. Now that the scholars are boiling and the people are in an uproar, you will resign from your post and bring peace to yourself. The Qing family has no regrets for what they want, but who should I entrust my expectations to? Sima Guang's paragraph was really written into his heart.

Take the red pen, sign it, and stamp it. Zhao Ji handed the edict to the close ministers beside him, "Pass it to Wang Anshi." If he is sick again, I will send a doctor. ”

……………………

As a political counselor, Wang Anshi's current mansion is usually a gift from the emperor. It has a garden and a pavilion, and it is one of the largest mansions in Tokyo. But there are very few people living in the house.

Wang Anshi has never married a concubine, and there are no intercourse girls around him, only an old wife Wu who has been with him for decades. Among the ministers, except for Sima Guang, there is no one else like Wang Anshi. There is only one old servant who usually waits for the call by his side. There are only a dozen men and women running around the house.

Wang Anshi and Wu had a total of three sons and three daughters, but one son and one daughter died young, and only two sons and daughters remained.

The eldest son Wang Yan has been smart since he was a child, and he can make tens of thousands of words at the age of ten, and he was admitted to the Jinshi three years ago, and returned to his hometown to marry the daughter of the Xiao family in Jinxi, and now he is still an official in the south.

The second son Wang Bi is far less intelligent than his eldest brother, and his temperament is a little eccentric - in fact, this is not difficult to understand, his father and brother are too good, and the pressure on the younger son will be very great - it is impossible to be admitted to the Jinshi, Wang Anshi thought that in the future, he would still ask for a shadow for him, arrange to marry a good family, and live a peaceful life.

The eldest daughter is already married, and she is Wu Anzhi, the son of Wu Chong, a colleague when he was an official in the Pastoral Division. Now Wu Chong has achieved three envoys, a national plan, and his children and relatives live in high positions together. However, Wu Chong has always been noncommittal about changing the law, and most of the meanings are negative, and his old friends and current in-laws are also gradually parting ways.

The eldest son and eldest daughter are not around, the eldest brother Wang Anguo went to Xijing to serve as a professor of Guozijian, Wang Anli, Wang Anshang has two younger brothers, one in Hedong and one in Jiangnan, and the brothers live separately in Tiannan and Haibei. The relatives who lived in this mansion with Wang Anshi and his wife were only two children.

It was almost late, Wang Anshi was waiting for news in the study, he didn't know what decision Zhao Ji would make in the future, but within today, the condolence edict should come. Whether the Son of Heaven agrees to his resignation or disagrees, according to the old practice, he will not ask for it once, but will go back and forth several times. Just like when the Son of Heaven ascends the throne, he must resign and concede the throne three times. If the change stops there, the resignation will be released after two or three round-trips, and if the Son of Heaven still wants to continue to change the law and keep himself sincerely, he will not agree to it after five or six resignations.

A copy of Mencius was held in his hand, and the words were full of annotations made by Wang Anshi in the past. Mencius's theories have always been upheld by him, and they have been expounded separately. As one of the few contemporary scholars, when Wang Anshi was teaching and educating people in Jinling a few years ago, he was centered on Mencius. It's just that he is not in the mood to read today, and he is an impatient person, so he turned the book into a loud noise, and he didn't read a word for a few hours.

The door of the study opened, not the news of Wang Anshi and others, but Mrs. Wu walked in, her face gloomy: "The second sister has just come back." ”

"Oh!" Wang Anshi replied casually, the second daughter went to visit her sister who married Lu today, and he also knew about this matter.

“…… said that the eldest sister had a bad time in the Wu family recently. ”

Wang Anshi put down the book and his face sank: "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as he heard the question, Wu suddenly burst out: "It's not that you are making trouble!" It's all because you got the new law, and my aunt gave her a look, and even my aunt quarreled a few times! ”

“…… Is it? ”

Wang Anshi's voice was dry. He and Wu Chong were both herd judges in the past, and their friendship was very strong, so they became sons and daughters. Unexpectedly, because of the new law, he and Wu Chong went farther and farther away, and the old friendship was no longer there, but it affected his own daughter.

"The eldest sister asked the second sister to go to see it often, if she has time, she can take Xiao Jiu home to stay for two days."

The daughters are all married, and Wang Anshi, the housekeeper of her in-laws, doesn't know how to deal with it, so she can only let her daughter come back to live for two days to relax, and Zhenghai can also bring her grandson. He is already fifty years old, and he is worried about when he will be able to hold his grandson. took off the coat of the awkward minister, in fact, Wang Anshi was just an ordinary old man.

"Isn't the meal all right?" Wang Anshi didn't want to listen to these troubles anymore, and urged the meal.

Wu stared at Wang Anshi hatefully. She knew that she had to make her words clear before eating, and when she started eating, he would think about things again, no matter how unpalatable the dishes in front of him were, Wang Anshi would eat them in one bite. Even if it was fish food, her husband would swallow it one by one without feeling it, and he wouldn't notice it when he finished eating it—this was what he did when he was fishing with Emperor Renzong. I heard that Emperor Renzong thought that he was pretending to be hypocritical, but his husband himself knew best, where would he act? ! Truly confused!

Wu said softly: "Master, even if you go home for two days, you still have to go back after all." It's better to change my uncle to an errand and leave the capital. ”

"I have already called myself sick, and I may have to leave Beijing in a few days. How to change? ”

Wang Anshi's words of shirk finally angered the Wu family, and he slapped the table: "Wang Badger Lang!" The eldest sister is the meat that fell from my body, you don't feel distressed, I feel distressed! ”

Even though there are no outsiders here, Wang Anshi still felt a little embarrassed when his wife called him by his nickname, and asked him left and right: "Is there any letter from the eldest brother?" ”

Wu turned his face away, and ignored him.

Wang Anshi looked distressed, he was not afraid of guilt, and the Wu family, who was elegant and poetic, had always been his virtuous helper. But in the past two years, for some reason, his wife's temper has slowly become weird, and she often gets angry because of a little thing. But it's a bad couple, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the study, and Wang Anshi's old servant sounded outside the door: "Minister Jiefu, the envoy is here!" It's Li Duzhi of the Imperial Medicine Academy. ”

Wang Anshi was relieved, and immediately lay back on the bed in the study, Wu snorted a few times hatefully, and finally sat on the edge of the bed. Pretending to be sick is like pretending to be sick. Although everyone knows that his illness is false, he doesn't make any superficial articles, but he is looking for impeachment in the imperial history.

When Li Shunju came in, Wang Anshi was already lying on the bed, and Mrs. Wu was serving beside him. It's just that Wang Jiefu doesn't look sick at all, and he looks very healthy. Li Shunju was accustomed to it, and began to read it when he opened the decree - he announced the decree at the house of the courtier who was sick, and he would not let the courtier lying on the sickbed get up and kneel, which was a sign of the dignity of the minister and the compassion of the Son of Heaven.

In front of the sickbed, Li Shunju read the edict in a low voice. As expected, there was no response. Li Shunju has been an edict envoy for many years, and he knows very well what is going on. This time, in order to invite Wang Anshi out of the mountain, if he didn't go four or five times, he ran thin legs, and there would be no result. But think about the past, at least this time I don't have to chase into the toilet just to announce the call.

It's just that he put down the edict, but found that Wang Anshi's face was already blue at some point. He cautiously reminded according to the rules: "Great Counselor, please accept the order." ”

"This is written by Sima Jun?!" Wang Anshi asked sharply. If he brought the edict to his eyes and only looked at the handwriting, he would be able to know if the edict was written by his old friend, but how could he accept this will!?

As soon as Li Shunju read the edict, he knew that Lu Dao was wrong, and in his opinion, it was reasonable for Wang Anshi to be angry, so he nodded and replied: "It is indeed Sima Neihan's handwriting." ”

"Sima Twelve is so literate!" Wang Anshi was so angry that his hands trembled, and he sat up straight, not pretending to be sick. 'The scholars are boiling, and the people are in turmoil', which is clearly forcing him to resign! 'Qing's private conspiracy is solid and has no regrets, and what I hope for, who will be entrusted', these sixteen words are even more devastating! What will the Son of Heaven think of himself when he sees it?

“…… Please go back. Wang Anshi held back his anger.

Seeing this, Li Shunju didn't dare to touch Wang Anshi's moldy head, and immediately said goodbye and left. But before leaving, I didn't forget to say: "The official family is sincerely waiting for the big ginseng to come back." ”

After Li Shunju left, Wang Anshi turned over and got out of bed, spread paper and polished ink, and wrote hard in front of the desk.
