[I wish you all book friends a happy new year and a prosperous Year of the Goat.] 】

Through the car window, Wang Anshang and Wang Anli saluted Wang Anshi, but their faces were very cold.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a physical appearance to confirm, the atmosphere between the three of them didn't look like brothers at all.

On the royal street, there are all civil and military officials who are preparing to go to the court, and now they are all used to entering and exiting by carriage, and each carriage is heading north, and the flow of people is surging for a while. But getting on the bus and saying a few words won't affect the traffic.

But Wang Anli and Wang Anshang had no intention of getting on the bus at all.

Looking at the two brothers who left in a hurry, Wang Anshi was stunned.

"Your Excellency." After bidding farewell to the two uncles and getting back into the car, Wang Bei persuaded in a low voice, "The fifth uncle and the seventh uncle just can't figure it out for a while, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

Wang Anshi was silent, his back arched, and his face could not hide his sadness.

Wang Along's grandfather, Wang Yi, the father of Wang Anshi's brothers, died early, and Wang Anli and Wang Anshang, who were young and young, relied on Wang Anshi's fortune to live in the township and study and study.

Wang Anshi expressed his willingness to take up foreign posts several times in the past, all on the grounds that the income of Beijing officials was not much, and the foreign officials were rich and could support their grandmother. Without Wang Anshi giving up a more open future as a Beijing official, Wang Anli and Wang Anshang, who lived with their grandmothers, could not study and travel leisurely.

Now that the brothers are turning against each other, Wang Anli and Wang Anshang can be said to be ungrateful.

It's just that Wang Bi also knows that if it weren't for Wang Anshi's decision, the three brothers would not have come to the point where they are almost turning against each other.

Wang Anshi retired to Jinling, and Han Gang was in hot demand, sitting firmly in the position of prime minister.

There happened to be a layer of kinship, so Wang Anshang and Wang Anli had always maintained correspondence with Han Gang even outside Beijing before. Many of the new policies launched by Han Gang are also strongly supported at the local level.

Han Gang reciprocated this, and in the past two years, the two have been transferred back to Beijing.

Wang Anshi's marriage of his granddaughter to the Son of Heaven was a good thing for Wang Bei - after all, it was impossible for him to rely on his own ability to become an observer envoy, a jiedu envoy, a Kaifu Yitong three divisions, a national duke, and a county king, but this choice directly hindered the future of other members of the Wang family.

Whether it is Wang Anli or Wang Anshang, they all have the intention to enter the two mansions.

Wang Anli is already a scholar of the Xianmo Pavilion, and although Wang Anshang has not yet obtained the title of attendant officer, it is not far away. Take their backs. Jinghe's ability may be a little more difficult to enter the two provinces, but it is not difficult to be promoted to politics and maintain this status all the time.

But now that he has a nephew and son-in-law who is the emperor, the next court push, Wang Anli will step down from the position of the council, and Wang Anshang has no chance to discuss the politics since then, and they can only be a Xuanhui envoy at most in the future.

For Wang Anli and Wang Anshang, even if they can be Xuanhui envoys or festival envoys, as long as they can't participate in the military affairs, they are wronged.

The emperor gains power, and even if his relatives are used for a while, they will be ousted from power sooner or later in the future. What's more, the emperor, from beginning to end, didn't see that he had the potential to gain power, and he was about to be deposed.

Standing on the emperor's side, it will first become the target of attack by the entire court, and now Wutai seems to have become a toothless dog, and once the prime ministers are in need, they can immediately turn back into a man-eating tiger. Don't look at Han Gang is always harmonious, humble and polite, and has the posture of a junior, but once he turns his face, Wang Anli and Wang Anshang don't think that he will still remember half of his friendship.

Wang Anshi's actions, in the eyes of Wang Anli and Wang Anshang, were just mantis arms as a car, jumping into the pit by himself, and pulling the whole family to jump into the pit together.

Otherwise, no matter how estranged they were, Wang Anli and Wang Anshang would not have the slightest disrespect for Wang Anshi, the third brother, the actual eldest brother.

And Wang Anli and Wang Anshang had just walked not far when Han Gang came over.

"Is the waiter available?"

"The overlay is in the car, and the service and observation are all in the car."

After exchanging a few words between the two sides, Han Gang got out of the car and got into Wang Anshi's carriage.

"Yukun is here."

Only a few hours later, when he saw his son-in-law again, Wang Anshi had not yet recovered from the blow from the Fang Cai brothers' eyes, and he looked listless.

The journey to the last dynasty was short, and there was no time to greet each other, Han Gang asked bluntly, "Father-in-law hasn't figured it out yet?" ”

Figure out what? What exactly was said yesterday?

Wang looked back at his father, Wang Anshi was silent for a moment, and said, "...... But the first emperor. ”

"The son-in-law also said yesterday that when the first emperor needs your father-in-law, he will reuse you, and throw it aside if he doesn't need it. In fact, Xizong's reuse of your father-in-law has always been the two ends of the first rat, like Zhaolie's trust in Wuhou, has the first emperor ever had? ”

Since the beginning of the change, Wang Bi has always served his father, and he knows very well how the first emperor Xizong crossed the river and demolished the bridge for his father. In the Xuande Gate attack case, the dignified prime minister knocked him down, but in the end, it was over. The first emperor's attention was only because he wanted to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and there was no one else available in the court, so he put on the appearance of a corporal of Lixian, and once he saw that the goal was about to be achieved, he immediately could not tolerate a little more authority

"Father-in-law, you have done your best to help the first emperor stabilize the country and the country, why do you still have to be grateful to the first emperor? Could it be that the first emperor gave your father-in-law your kindness, but you didn't reciprocate it to your father-in-law? ”

Wang Anshi frowned suddenly, staring at Han Gang, Han Gang changed his words, "Compared with my father-in-law, my son-in-law is more favored by the first emperor. But the various merits made by the son-in-law are enough to repay the deep favor of the first emperor. Now that he retains the throne of the first emperor's bloodline, this can be regarded as the last reward from the son-in-law to the first emperor. ”

Before Wang Anshi could speak, Wang was already frightened and hurriedly stopped: "Yukun! ”

"There's nothing you can't say. I am talking about the people, and people are different from rich and poor, good and evil, but they are all human beings after all. The emperor is not a son of heaven, but with two eyes and a nose, two ears and a mouth, he is no different from ordinary people, even if he cuts his body, he is also visceral, and he will not have one more than ordinary people. Otherwise, if you can't even control the pulse, how can the imperial doctor treat the emperor? ”

Han Gang had some truth in what he said, but in these words, he couldn't hear the slightest loyalty.

Cut the emperor's body open - what loyal minister would dare to say such a thing?

Even if Wang Fang didn't have the slightest respect for his son-in-law, he had the idea of covering his ears.

Wang Anshi didn't blame Han Gang, but sighed, "Yukun, my mind has been decided, so I don't need to say more." ”

Wang Bei's heart suddenly cooled, his father still rejected Han Gang after all,

Wang Anshi said so, and Han Gang didn't say anything more, nodded and saluted, and got out of the car to leave.

Wang Anshi looked out of the car window, looking at his father's resolute lines, Wang Bei suddenly felt a pang in his heart, is it today? !

In front of the civil and military officials, if his father and the emperor drink each other, maybe they can really make a fuss.

But...... I can only make a fuss.

……………………

As the king of a country, Zhao Xu doesn't need to get up and go out just after the fifth watch in order to rush to the court like a courtier.

He could have slept until the sound of the cannon at the Xuande Gate, then freshen up, eat something, and then go to the front, just in time for the court meeting.

But Zhao Xu still woke up very early, to be more precise, he didn't sleep much at all this night.

This is the case all this time, tossing and turning in bed all night, unable to sleep, and finally in a daze, I feel a little sleepy, but it is already time to get up at dawn.

Despite insomnia at night and splitting headaches and yawning during the day, Zhao Xu refuses to sleep more, which only worsens his already bad reputation.

At the same time, he was reluctant to drink the calming decoction prescribed by the medical officer.

Who knows what kind of prescription these medical officers under Han Gang will prescribe. Maybe there won't be aconitum or arsenic in it. Frost - such an immediate poison. The medicine is too conspicuous -- it may be mixed with some chronic poison. Medicine, not even poison. Medicine, just for one's own physical condition, prescribe some medicine that is good for others and poisonous for oneself. The medicine of medicine, accumulated over time, sooner or later died young.

Zhao Xu didn't want to die so unjustly, he still had to live, live longer, live longer than that woman, and survive that woman, sooner or later this palace will be his own.

Hearing the clock ringing in the room, Zhao Xu opened his eyes. endured a faint headache, and sat up under the service of the palace people.

Wang Anshi will go to the court today, and with him in the court, the three thieves of Su, Zhang, and Han will definitely be a little more restrained. Even if Wang Anshi does not have real power now, the respected veteran and important minister is not something that Zai Fu can humiliate.

If the three thieves don't make trouble, they can live a peaceful life today.

Zhao Xu didn't have too many ideas now, he just wanted to get through it for a while.

Although he also fantasized that as soon as Wang Anshi arrived, he would be able to set things right, and even fantasized that after Wang Anshi eradicated the traitors in the court, he helped his daughter and grandson intercede, and he gave him a lot of face, spared the lives of the underage men of the Han family, and only confiscated them into the palace and castrated them into slavery.

But Zhao Xu knows better that he has been away from the court for many years, Wang Anshi's prestige is still there, but his influence on the court is almost nothing, and he must give Wang Anshi a little more trust and a little time, so that Wang Anshi can calmly gather the old department and eradicate the traitorous party in one fell swoop.

After some washing, the palace people took the robes to serve the Son of Heaven to change clothes.

"How is this?" The robes taken out by the palace people are not court clothes, but the regular clothes that are worn in the palace every day, Zhao Xu was impatient, "Who cares about the clothes, send them to the imperial medicine hospital." ”

Although the Funing Palace is full of people sent by the Queen Mother, Zhao Xu still has this power.

Empress Dowager Xiang will not get along with the emperor for the sake of one or two chamberlains being driven away. As long as Zhao Xu doesn't overstep the rules, kills people at every turn, or disposes of Yang Jian and a few other palace people with special identities, she will only turn a blind eye.

Zhao Xu was able to take the opportunity to vent the boredom in his heart, became more moody, and punished and expelled the palace people around him from time to time.

But Zhao Xu gave orders this time, but no one replied.

The regular clothes were still held in front of him.

Looking back at everyone in the palace, the irritability on Zhao Xu's face faded little by little, and gradually became ruthless, "You want to rebel?" ”

Yang Jian stopped in front of Zhao Xu, knelt down, kneeling upright, "The slave maid has been ordered by the Queen Mother, the official family is in violation of the royal body today, please stay in the palace and recuperate." ”
