Wen Yanbo has been in a bad mood lately.

As a patriarch of the Three Dynasties, even if he doesn't do things every day, he drinks and feasts all day long with the minister's money from the yamen, and there will be no trouble, even if there is a villain who reports to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will only send an envoy to ask the minister if the money is enough - this is the patriarch - but his son Wen Jifu is not a patriarch, and he is in great trouble now.

Now in the city of Tokyo, the group of mourning crows in Yushi Taichung are investigating the prison of Xiangzhou, and the entire Dali Temple is involved, and his unsuccessful son is implicated in this case that someone is obviously making waves because of a letter of invitation.

Wen Jifu didn't discuss with him, so he wrote to his brother-in-law Chen Anmin. It's too old to stand, and I'm still so confused.

After reading the draft of the letter sent by Wen Jifu, Wen Yanbo almost waved his cane and beat up the sixth son who was not a weapon, he can speak bluntly in officialdom, and he can't leave evidence anyway, but how can the text be obscure, what is written? !

"He's your uncle, isn't he for his father's wife and brother?! Do you tell me that I'll watch him suffer?! ”

Wen Jifu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, he knew his father's temper best, the more justified he was, the heavier the punishment would be, and the best way to do it was to honestly bow his head and feet, so that he could survive safely.

Wen Yanbo really didn't look so angry after he got angry and drank a cup of fragrant soup with a wide and happy atmosphere. Wen Jifu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly brought another cup of medicinal soup for Wen Yanbo, and said in a low voice: "My son knows that he is wrong." I thought it was just a matter of saying two words, and it wasn't a big deal. ”

"There is no certainty in how big or small things are. No one cares about you, it's okay to be greedy and greedy, and if someone cares, even if you spend a little more money on the minister, you will be impeached by the imperial history. You don't look at how many people your father-in-law is blocking the way, how many eyes are staring at him in the political hall, the Privy Council, and the Imperial Historical Tower. Guan said that there is a division, usually it is just a gust of wind, to put it mildly, but now it can set off huge waves! Wen Yanbo glared at his son again, and his voice was fierce: "But in normal times, the letter can't be written so straightforwardly." When the children of the Wu family haven't read a book, they need to explain it as clearly as they do to elementary school students?! ”

Wen Jifu was submissive, and Wen Yanbo snorted heavily with hatred. Because of the stupid things that his son did, all the official affairs in the house were delayed.

Yesterday, he didn't let his subordinates go to greet Han Gang, which was also his momentary anger. In fact, Wen Yanbo regretted it when he said it, but he didn't regret it, and changing his order would make people look down on him.

He doesn't care about some small things, although it will affect his reputation, although he will have a mortal enmity with Han Gang, but so what?

Wen Yanbo regretted it, only because it would damage his reputation, but as a veteran, he was awarded the title of Duke of the country, and he was given gifts from his ancestors to his descendants, so what impact does his reputation have if it is good or bad? offended Han Gang, but he didn't care at all.

What kind of person is Han Gang, just irrigating the garden, a poor family, not even a scholarly family. He is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he will have the opportunity to marry the royal family in the future, and among his grandchildren, he is not without talents, and his protégés are innumerable, and his in-laws are all over the court. What is Han Gang's son-in-law of the prime minister, the unsuccessful son in front of him, who is the son of the prime minister and the son-in-law of the prime minister, married Wu Chong's daughter!

Even if Han Gang breaks out in the future, can he really destroy his Wen family?! If Han Gang really took this humiliation to heart, he would be enemies of the Wen family everywhere in the future, and he might not stop there. It's just a young boy, if he has a reputation for being narrow-minded, don't think about any achievements in the future, Wen Yanbo can't wait for Han Gang to do this.

Wen Jifu only knew that his own affairs had gone wrong, just a simple intercession, but in the end, it turned into a big case that shocked the entire Yushitai, and now Jingzhong has sent someone to ask, and the next step is to bring himself to Kaifeng for interrogation.

Although he has a father in the town, he may be arrested and put in prison at any time. Although my father wants to protect himself, if the capital comes to mention people, even the current prime minister can't stop it, and he can't stop it, so he will definitely go to Taiwan Prison first.

Wen Jifu is already a bird in Beijing, and now he has offended Han Gang, Han Gangsi is in charge of Cao Si, and has the right to supervise hundreds of officials along the way. His father offended him ruthlessly, and if he wanted to say that he would laugh magnanimously, Wen Jifu didn't believe it. Han Gang, who is young and ambitious, can have such a measure, and he will inevitably fall into the well when the time comes.

Fortunately, it can be resolved at this time. Although because of yesterday's incident, the Wen family and Han Gang have a deep grudge, but Han Gang is a well-known respect for teachers, Wen Yanbo and Zhang Zai have the grace of pushing, Zhang Zai's first lecture in Luoyang is also Wen Yanbo's arrangement, although this incense is gone, but it is not useless to bring it up again. And there are two journeys, Han Gang sent someone to Cheng's house as soon as he arrived yesterday, and he will visit today. If you find Ercheng to mediate in the middle, Han Gang's respect for the teacher must give Cheng Bochun and Uncle Cheng Zheng a face, whether it is true or false.

Wen Jifu was scared enough this time, when he was born, Wen Yanbo had already become the prime minister, he had never suffered hardship, he was out of the house, and he could be flattered everywhere in the six yamen of the Wen Mansion, but now he unexpectedly ran into an opponent who did not care about the power of the Wen family, thinking that he would be brought to the Yushitai prison, and his courage was much smaller.

Looking at his father with a peek, Wen Jifu thought about how to phrase it, but saw that Wen Yanbo had already ignored it and took a letter to read. Seeing the words Bao Shou on the opened envelope, Wen Jifu knew that it was a letter from Bao Zheng's second son, who was very close to his family.

Wen Yanbo read the letter up and down, looked up and said to Wen Jifu: "The one-year mourning period of the Bao family's brother has expired, and he said that he will come to Luoyang to visit soon." Brother Wei lost his wife last year, and Zhongfeng can't be left unhosted, so it's time to remarry. His father once had a Qin and Jin covenant with Bao Jianji [Bao Zheng], but various things were delayed. Eleven Niang is only a few years younger than Brother Wei, which is just right. ”

Wen Jifu was stunned for a moment, "Marry Eleven Niang?" ”

Seeing that his son seemed to have an objection, Wen Yanbo became angry again: "Don't you remember it anymore?!" My Wen family and the Bao family are family friends, and it has been like this since your grandfather. Brother Wei is a righteous person, and Eleven Niang will not suffer if she marries. ”

The friendship between the two families of Bao Wen does not need to be said by Wen Yanbo, Wen and Fu have been familiar since childhood.

Wen Jifu's grandfather Wen Xun, who was in the same pavilion with Bao Lingyi, the ancestor of Bao Shou and Bao Zheng's father, had a great friendship, and Bao Zheng and Wen Yanbo were together to prepare for the imperial examination, and in the future, the two of them won the same subject in the fifth year of Tiansheng [1027] - Han Qi, Chen Shengzhi, and Wu Kui in the same subject; the second year of Qingli [1042] with Wang Anshi, Wang Qi, and Han Jiang fifteen years later; and fifteen years later, Lü Huiqing, Zhang Dian, Zeng Bu, Er Cheng, Er Su, and Zhang Zai's Jiayou Second Year List [1057], which was the three most rewarding imperial examinations of the Renzong Dynasty.

Bao Zheng first had both words, and then changed to Xiren in the world, but Wen Yanbo always called him with the previous word. The parents are close friends, and the two have also been engaged since childhood, because of these two relationships, the Baowen family is about in-laws.

Although when Bao Zheng served as an advisor, he also criticized Wen Yanbo, who was the prime minister at the time, but after Wen Yanbo was dismissed, one reason was that he befriended the harem and gave a heavy gift to Zhang Guifei, who was most favored by Renzong and was posthumously named Empress Wencheng - the other is Yin Jie as the official Bao Zheng and Wu Kui.

"At the beginning, Qin and Jin were good for his father and Jiji, and he was willing to marry each other, your elder brothers were not of the right age, and the eldest sister of the Bao family married your cousin. It's a pity that his eldest brother had already married a wife at that time, and when he died, Brother Wei was only five years old, and the rest of the family affairs have not been mentioned. The last time Brother Wei married the daughter of the Zhang family, he also wrote after becoming a parent, otherwise he would definitely have to take the lead as a father. ”

Wen Yanbo recalled that year: "My father was dismissed for the first time because of Tang Jie, and a few years later, Jian Ji was demoted to Chizhou for some reason, and my father had already regained his appearance, so he wrote a letter to Chizhou. Remember what was written for the Father? ”

Wen Jifu was caught off guard by the question. He vaguely remembered that Wen Yanbo wrote a poem about the Seven Laws at that time, but he thought about it for a long time before he thought of the last two sentences: "'Don't be a queen, you should know that Kunqi is great, but you have to stay in Jiangdong?'" ’”

Wen Yanbo snorted angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with his son, and he couldn't remember the whole Seven Laws, but even the last two sentences that he remembered were wrong, and even made the meaning diametrically opposite, "Is it 'Don't know that Kunqi is great, and it may last in Jiangdong?'" ’！ ”

Just as Zhu Yuqing wrote to Zhang Ji when he was approaching the imperial examination, 'The depth of the thrush is nothing', when Wen Yanbo informed Bao Zheng that he would soon be transferred back to Beijing, he also used a subtle and tactful curved pen.

Bao Zheng only stayed in Chizhou for eight months before being transferred to Jiangning, where he served as the prefect of Jiangning for less than a month before being transferred back to Tokyo, and after returning he became the prefect of Kaifeng. The legend of Kaifeng prefect Baolongtu originated from here.

The poem that his son can't memorize is Wen Yanbo's proud work. But Wen Yanbo remembered the old things, and suddenly became angry, looked at his son sideways and vertically, and pointed at Wen Jifu's head fiercely with his finger. He didn't ask his son to have his own or Zhu Qingyu's level, Wen Yanbo's requirements were very low: "Can't you write vaguely?" Can't you just write a little more obscurely? After reading books for so many years, there may not be Han Gangqiang when it comes to poetry! ”

Wen Jifu's mouth moved, and he wanted to shout, 'Is it tolerable or unbearable', no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than Han Gang, but he still held back.

Compared with Han Gang's accumulated achievements, his poetry level is more popular in Shilin, just like the dark shadow of Japan and China, there is a little shortcoming that is particularly conspicuous, and it will always be taken out as a joke.

While he was talking, a servant came in a hurry and reported: "Old minister, Cao Si handed over a post, saying that the newly appointed Han Longtu wants to visit tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Wen Jifu was shocked when he heard this.

"It's only been a day and you're rushing to the door? Do you want to check the accounts? Let him come! Wen Yanbo laughed indulgently, Han Gang's impatience made him extremely happy: "I can't imagine that I can't hold my breath so much, Han Gang is so temperamental, who said that this son can be the prime minister?!" The small device is fast, even if it is a small talent, it will be nothing more than this in the future! But that's it!! ”
