After the dispersal of the dynasty, except for a few prime ministers who stayed to continue discussions with the officials, most of the officials left in the wind and rain. The atmosphere of today's meeting was too tense and depressing, and the tense situation was even more worrying, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity.

Wang Anshi was also one of them, as a scholar of Hanlin and a senior political adviser to the emperor, he was well aware of the recent troubles of the dynasty. The sudden disaster and disaster made them, the responsible scholars, worried. Maybe this is what Fan Wenzhenggong said on the Yueyang Tower, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world!

Unlike others, Wang Anshi's worries are not only about the matter itself. Natural disasters and military disasters will consume most of the energy of the imperial court, and disaster relief has become the theme of the current imperial government. The imminent change had to be delayed because of this, and I don't know when the postponement will begin......

At the same time, he also noticed a problem, which was the so-called celestial induction after frequent natural disasters. In recent days, there have been accusations that the prime minister is not competent enough and lacks virtue, so a rainstorm has fallen! In ancient times, when encountering natural phenomena and disasters such as eclipses and earthquakes, it was common to change the name of the era or change the prime minister. In view of the fact that Zhao Ji has just changed the yuan after the new emperor ascended the throne, the officials saved some face, and the prime ministers inevitably suffered more accusations and worried about the monarch......

I think that the privy envoy Wu Xianggong Di Qing was framed by the civil official group, isn't it precisely related to the torrential rain and flood? Nonsense about ghosts and gods can also kill people, will they have the same experience in the future?

In all dynasties and dynasties, those who reform and change the law must be pointed out by thousands of people, and there is a lot of opposition, and there are not a few people who are in different places. The dynasty has a tradition of not killing scholars and doctors, which can be reassured, as for the reputation and honor he doesn't care anymore, the only thing he cares about is the emperor's determination and the effectiveness of the change. This heavy rain and earthquake reminded Wang Anshi that the changes in the sky and the words of people are terrifying, and it is necessary to greet the emperor in advance......

There are too many problems in the whole country, poverty and weakness, and the Western Xia has been a disaster to the northwest all the year round, and there is a lot of fear for the Liao State. Otherwise, the death of a Liao envoy would make the court unpeaceful and panicked. Reform and reform are imminent, and after the country becomes rich and the army is strengthened in the future, we must do our best to restore the vast territory of the Han and Tang dynasties and promote the prestige of China......

Wang Anshi returned home with mixed feelings, and Wang Yan asked when he saw this: "Father, what happened?" You don't seem to be in a good mood! ”

"In an eventful autumn, who can be at peace in the court?" Wang Anshi sighed.

Wang Yan said: "Also, the heavy rain is pouring, the river is bursting, and there is an earthquake again, and the court must be in a hurry." ”

"Yes, but that's not all there is to it!" Wang Anshi sighed: "The Liao army is also ready to move, and the envoy of the Liao State died in Bianjing. ”

"Yes, how can it be good, the envoy of the Liao State is dead? Can Kaifeng Mansion find out one or two? Wang Yan asked curiously.

Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "No, Kaifeng Mansion has no clue, the official family is furious, severely reprimanded, and asked to solve the case within a time limit." Dali Temple also proposed that detective masters be selected from other states and counties, and if there is a suitable candidate for ministers, they can also be recommended...... It's almost time to ask for talents! ”

"So, it's a bit of a problem!" Wang Yan nodded secretly, thought for a moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in surprise: "Father, has the official family reprimanded Wang Gui's old son?" ”

"Well, the murder case of the Liao envoy is quite bizarre, and I can't find out the clue, how can he, the son of Kaifeng Mansion, be better?" Wang Anshi was quite sympathetic.

Wang Yan clapped his hands and said: "It's a good thing, Wang Gui Lao'er wants to earn a high fortune with his father, and if this matter is done, his status and impression in the eyes of the officials and hundreds of officials will decline, and it will be difficult to enter the palace again, and his father will have fewer opponents!" ”

"Yuan Ze, don't worry too much about these small gains and losses, look at the long term and look at the overall situation. The murder of the envoy of the Liao State gave the Khitans the excuse to send troops, once the disaster of the army started, but the lives were ruined, and it was useless for the people and the country. Wang Anshi sighed, worried.

Wang Yan said with a smile: "What my father taught me is, but if there is a best of both worlds, it will be perfect." ”

"The best of both worlds? How? Wang Anshi couldn't help but be curious.

"Father, do you remember when you left Jiangning, what happened to Wang Gui Lao'er at this time is quite similar? It's a pity that he doesn't have good luck and doesn't have a good helper......"

Wang Anshi seemed to understand something, and wondered: "What do you mean......?" ”

Wang Yan smiled and said: "Father, didn't the official family say it, let the minister recommend a detective master, and my father can try it!" Wang Gui has no clue, that is his incompetence. If the father recommends a person to solve this big trouble, the officials and officials will inevitably appreciate it, and the reputation will rise greatly, and the resistance to the father's visit will be much smaller. ”

The son is good at scheming, and Wang Anshi knows very well that although sometimes it seems to be contrary to the gentleman's surname, it is not against morality. If you want to do big things, you still have to have the necessary means, coupled with the doting on his son, Wang Anshi is completely tolerant of this and is accustomed to it. At this time, when he heard his son's proposal, he nodded and said, "There is some truth, but who do you recommend?" You mean......? ”

"That's right, it's Lin Zhao!" Wang Yan said: "Lin Zhao's ability to observe the details and peel off the cocoon has been seen by my father, he is already good at detective and detective methods, so he must be able to do it...... Anyway, at the moment, Kaifeng Mansion can't do anything, his father recommended him, even if he can't find anything, he won't be worse than Wang Gui...... What's more, he has confidence in Lin Zhao and believes that he has this ability! ”

"You trust him so much?" Wang Anshi was puzzled.

Wang Yan bowed his head and said: "I can't hide it, I asked my father to write a letter to ask to sit down and speak to test the hearts of hundreds of officials...... It was Lin Zhao's idea at first...... Now he is in Bianjing, and he opened the Jiangnan Ju Restaurant, which was famous in the city a month ago......"

Wang Anshi suddenly suddenly, he didn't expect this Lin Zhao to have such thoughts, it's not simple! Wang Yan blushed a little, after all, he had taken Lin Zhao's ideas and suggestions as his own......

"In the last Meng Ruogu case, Lin Zhao's performance was obvious to all, and he had an intuition that this person had incredible abilities, and he could give it a try. Just be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, even if it fails, there will be no trouble! Wang Yan thought about it for a while, and already thought about the gains and losses before and after.

Wang Anshi was silent for a long time, nodded and asked, "Then Lin Zhao is willing?" If he doesn't want to take on this errand, it's a helpless move......"

"He'll be willing!" Wang Yan swore and said: "I can see that Lin Zhao has always wanted to enter the office, but unfortunately he is not good at writing about the way of the imperial examination, and has always wanted to find another way, isn't this a great opportunity?" Cracking this case can be regarded as a great contribution to our dynasty, so why is it difficult for the official family to reward a person's background? ”

Wang Anshi said: "Before the official family rewarded your uncle (Wang Anguo) with a scholarly background, some people have already said irresponsible things, if it is...... However, if he can really solve this case, it will be a great achievement for the country and the people, and it will be well deserved! ”

"Well, I'm going to Jiangnanju...... Father, let's go to the palace again as soon as possible! It is the duty of the Son of Heaven to recommend talents, not to mention that the official family has always obeyed his father! ”

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "Okay!" In public and private, this matter should be tried, and for the sake of the father, I will go to meet the official family! ”
