Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle Behind the Scenes
"Dongyang stays!" Wang Yan shouted behind him, and Huang Tingjian left first when he saw this.
Lin Zhao arched his hand and said, "Prince Wang, I'm causing you trouble today!" "After all, Wang Zhongyu's drunken words were caused by himself, and Lin Zhao was slightly apologetic!
Wang Yan shook his head and said: "What's the point of worrying about some trivial things, let him go, don't go to your heart!" It sounded like he didn't care at all, maybe he didn't take Wang Zhongqi or even his father Wang Qi in his eyes at all.
"I don't mind!" Lin Zhao has always been optimistic and cheerful.
"Actually......" Wang Yan hesitated slightly: "Dongyang, in fact, with your talents, it is not difficult to be proud in the field, and you can also ...... in your career You think about it! ”
Becoming an official, Lin Zhao has this idea, but he has no love for the imperial examination, and he doesn't know if he can find another way? He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think about it!" ”
"Last time I was in Jiangning, if it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have been able to enter Beijing early, but he was ......" Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh softly.
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, the son should enlighten the boss, don't be in a hurry!" ”
"Do you pay attention to the government?" Wang Yanhu glanced at Lin Zhao suspiciously, quite surprised.
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, Childe, the old man's note has been widely talked about recently, and it's not surprising that I have heard of it." ”
Huang Tingjian! Wang Yan guessed that eighty percent of Lin Zhao's news came from this.
"It is a good thing that the bad government of the country has accumulated for a hundred years, redundant officials and soldiers, poverty and weakness, and the boss is determined to reform. It's just that there is a way to get sick like a thread, and you can't rush it! Lin Zhao analyzed: "Seeing the subtleties, from the slightest concepts, small habits, you can see the conservatism and stubbornness of many people.
Although the official family intends to change, it should not be rushed, and it is better to plan it slowly...... It can be used to test some subtleties and see the rebound...... How big the reaction is, know it before you start to do it! ”
Wang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, he was indeed not mistaken, this Lin Zhao was indeed not simple. If you can get into the office, you will definitely be a good helper for your father. nodded and said: "Dongyang is reasonable, I will tell my father!" ”
Lin Zhao didn't know much about Wang Anshi's change, and knew that his original intention was good, but there seemed to be a problem in the implementation process, maybe it was because he was in a hurry! Now I remind you a little, I hope it will help, but I don't know if I can listen to it.
"When the restaurant opens, I will invite a group of friends to join the party!" Wang Yan naturally wants to support it.
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Childe's appreciation of the light is naturally the best, I am sure that I will not disappoint you, my restaurant must be unusual." ”
"I fully believe that!" Wang Yan deeply felt that Lin Zhao had too much potential to explore.
The two laughed and were about to leave, but they saw that one of them was still standing by the lake, and when they looked at it, it was Chai Ruone. Curious, the two walked over and asked, "Brother Ruone, why do you stay by the lake?" ”
Chai Ruone smiled and said, "No, I was going to leave in the next place." My little sister said that she was playing on the other side of the river with her best friend, and there happened to be a boat, so I waited here and left together by water. ”
"I see!"
The two looked up and saw a small light boat sailing over, not far from the shore. Lin Zhao looked at the cabin, the legendary Miss Chai, the first beauty in Bianjing, was on this ship? The lake breeze blew, and the curtain of the hatch blew. At a certain moment, Lin Zhao saw a woman in a purple shirt, like a fairy in the mortal world, stepping on the waves. As for the appearance, although it is only a glimpse, and I can't even remember the facial features, the elegance and softness and the smile are deeply engraved in my mind.
is worthy of being the first beauty, and she deserves her name, Lin Zhao couldn't help but be a little stunned. He didn't notice that Wang Yan behind him had the same expression, and there was a faint infatuation in his eyes......
When the boat docked, Miss Chai seemed to notice that there were other men on the shore, so she stopped showing up. Chai Ruone said goodbye and boarded the boat, leaving the two young talents stunned and watched the boat go away. Lin Zhao secretly said in his heart, and he didn't know if Miss Chai was watching through the curtain and smiled back......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since April of the first year of Xining, the weather has been hot and rainless, and the emperor's order to pray for rain has had little effect, and there is inevitably a certain drought. In May, in order to prevent the disaster-stricken displaced people from developing into bandits, the Great Song Dynasty adopted the usual method of recruiting hungry people as an army. In addition to some disaster relief matters, Shangshu Zuo Servant Shot, School Inspector Situ and Zhongshu made Master Wen Yanbo a little busy.
When I returned home at dusk, I came to greet the six sons who had never seen him: "Father is well!" Recently, the government has been busy, and my father has taken care of his health. ”
"Hmmm! I'm used to it, nothing, with your filial piety, I'm satisfied with my father! "One has half of his hair white, and his face is elegantly dressed, but there is a vague and unpredictable aura; Especially a pair of eyes, seemingly gentle, approachable, but shrewd and deep inside, imposing, he is the veteran of the three dynasties who has gone through Renzong and Yingzong, and Wen Yanbo, who is in the position of official and secondary.
"I can't share the slightest burden for my father, I'm ashamed!"
Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "You, study hard, and you can ...... in a few years By the way, I heard that you went to the poetry meeting a few days ago? ”
"Yes, a few days ago, I met friends with poems in Tieta Lake!" Wen Jifu answered truthfully.
"Oh, is there any good poetry? Or something interesting to tell the father! ”
Wen Jifu pondered, could it be that the events at the poetry meeting had been spread and entered his father's ears? Immediately told the truth about all kinds of poetry meetings.
"Interesting, a few little cubs are restless!" Wen Yanbo was amused when he heard it, and couldn't help but sigh.
Wen Jifu said: "The young man couldn't hold his breath, fought with words, and was rude after drinking, which made my father laugh. ”
"Do you really think it's just a verbal fight, a drunken faux pas?" Wen Yanbo asked meaningfully.
Wen Jifu's heart moved, and he bowed down and said, "Maybe there is a ...... behind it."
"Tell me what you think...... Wen Yanbo seems to be interested in taking the school entrance examination.
Wen Jifu muttered: "It seems to be related to the battle between the two Wang Bachelors...... I also asked my father to show me the situation inside. ”
"That's right!" Wen Yanbo nodded with satisfaction: "Now that Wang Gui and Wang Anshi are both Hanlin companions, they may both enter the two mansions in the future, but who comes first and who comes last?" Who's up and who's down? There is a difference in the size of authority......"
"It is rumored that the official family intends to reuse Wang Anshi, is this really the case?" Wen Jifu asked tentatively.
Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "It's not groundless, the official family has recently begun to ask the courtiers for their opinions, but Han (Qi) Xianggong doesn't seem to approve." ”
"It is rumored that in Yangzhou in the past, Han Xianggong and Mr. Wang had a misunderstanding, could it be because of this?" Wen Jifu secretly speculated.
Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "No, if Han Qi's pattern is so small, how can he be Zai Fu for more than ten years?" What's more, Wu Kui and Tang Jie, the two governors (deputy prime ministers), also disagreed. ”
"What about you, father?" Wen Jifu took the liberty of asking,
Wen Yanbo's expression froze slightly, and then he seemed to be very satisfied, and he didn't need to hide it in front of his son, and said: "I don't agree with my father very much, Wang Anshi is too stubborn, so he is afraid that there will be chaos......"
"But Bachelor Wang bluntly speaks of maladministration and is determined to reform, which should be a good thing!" Wen Jifu expressed his disagreement.
"The maladministration of the country and the dynasty is well known, but it affects the whole body, where is it so easy to reform? In the past, his father also participated in the Qingli New Deal with Fan Wenzhenggong, but what was the result? Wen Yanbo shook his head lightly and said: "Many things are intertwined, and none of them can be effective by one reform. If you are in too much of a hurry, I am afraid that you will suffer from it, especially if a stubborn person like Wang Anshi presides, the situation may be even worse......"
Wen Yanbo paused for a moment and continued: "But...... It seems that the bachelor has changed his surname and tested everyone? ”
"Temptation?"
"It's funny to say that the theme of the debate between the DPRK and China is 'sitting and standing'. Wang Anshi was a bachelor of Hanlin Scholars, and suddenly wrote a letter requesting a change in the norm, and sat down to lecture on the history of scriptures for officials and important ministers. Looking at his son's confused look, Wen Yanbo continued: "Don't think it's just a matter of etiquette, in fact, he wants to test everyone's attitude towards innovation, but it's a pity that it's thankless, and there is a voice of opposition......
Wen Jifu suddenly found that he was too immature, and all he saw was just the surface, but he didn't expect that there was such a complexity behind the small things. Then he asked: "Father, then Cao Jian also has a ...... for Zhao Zhongshan?" ”
"Hmm!" Wen Yanbo moved his mind, and today he said that he would give his son a good guide and said, "Who is Cao Jian?" What about Cao Fu's grandson, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Zhongshan? is the grandson of King Pu, both of them are not young, why would they be rude for no reason? The first emperor (Song Yingzong) opened the 'Pu discussion', although he fought for the name of King Pu, but he had an unpleasant quarrel with his heir mother, the Empress Dowager Cao, and then he has been snubbing the Cao family and treating the sons of King Pu well.
The first emperor died, and now the official family has ascended the throne, and there is still not much change, can the empress dowager (Cao's) be happy in her heart? The Cao family is from Jiangmen, and there is a blood surname in his bones, and Cao Jian is young and vigorous, so it is reasonable to express his dissatisfaction. Alas, Emperor Renzong had no children, so much so that he caused all this trouble...... There are still contradictions in the succession of the people, let alone the heavenly family? ”
Wen Jifu was secretly frightened, and now he completely understood that it seemed that the drunken and rude verbal fights between the several Yanai were actually not simple. The battle between the prime minister and the emperor and queen is a huge battle behind this, which is unimaginable.
Wen Yanbo earnestly admonished: "Therefore, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds, and the most important thing is to look carefully, think carefully, and figure it out." You are gifted and intelligent, and you are diligent and studious, and your father looks at you very well. ”
"Father's teachings, children will remember them!" Wen Jifu was somewhat flattered, and immediately asked, "Father, what about Lin Dongyang's restaurant opening, should I go or not?" ”
"Lin Dongyang?" Wen Yanbo smiled slightly: "Listening to the poems you recited, this person seems to be quite talented!" That Huang Tingjian paid attention to his father, since the two were friends, it can be seen that although Lin Dongyang is clothed, he is also unusual. ”
"There are some talents to learn." Wen Jifu hesitated again: "It's just that this person seems to be ...... I have a deep friendship with Wang Yuanze! ”
Wen Yanbo is an old man, and he saw through his son's worries at a glance, shook his head and said: "You are you, the father is the father, you don't have to worry too much." Since they are sincerely invited, and you have drunk their wine, it is also appropriate to go to congratulate them.
