Chapter 121: There are many people and contradictions
Wang Bian came out of the palace, dealt with the matter at hand, and came to Kaifeng Mansion, where Lord Bao was waiting for news from Wang Bian. Hearing that the king didn't see Renzong either, Lord Bao was very surprised.
The king frowned, carefully recalling the details of today's request: "Father-in-law, it seems that someone has stopped me from going this time. ”
Master Bao squinted his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?" ”
The king said before and after today's request, and Lord Bao pondered for a while: "Side, you will ask the name of the minister tomorrow." I'll go to the imperial doctor tomorrow to ask about the emperor's condition. ”
How could I forget such an important thing? The king secretly blamed himself.
Bao Zheng remembered the gift that Wang Bian gave to him: "Bian'er, the white camel felt given to my father is very valuable, you are just starting out now, do you have any money, don't break too much" said and then rewarded Wang Bian again.
Wang Bi hurriedly said: "My father-in-law treats me as if I was my own, and I am guilty of not being able to honor myself in front of the hall, this white camel felt was given to the child by Li Liangzuo of Xia Yizong, and the child specially used it to honor his father-in-law." Wang said these words from the bottom of his heart, thinking that if it weren't for Bao Zheng, he wouldn't have enough heads to be embarrassed. He really regretted that he was late, if it was as early as when the five rats were in Tokyo, it would not be Zhanzhao who made the meritorious service, but his own "royal Elvis next to Elvis".
Lord Bao's laughter dragged Wang Bian back from the sky: "This trip to Xixia seems to be smooth, but be careful, this Xixia people often go back on their word." ”
Wang Bei will go to Western Xia to meet Li Liangzuo, persuade him to trade with the Song Dynasty and the civil strife in the Western Xia court, and talk to Lord Bao in detail. Don't talk about these things at the Meyer House banquet. Kaifeng Mansion doesn't mention the matter of counterattacking Jilaqing, those are all pediatrics, and a big man of Bao Zheng's status may not be interested.
"Come to think of it, I'm much more stable in Song Guo!" Wang Pan finally concluded.
Unexpectedly, Master Bao snorted coldly. Then Master Bao's face became serious: "Side, do you know what your biggest harvest is in Xixia this time?" ”
"Where there is a crowd, there is a contradiction" Grandpa Mao's words, classic! Wang Bi blurted out, Wang Bi knew this when he was a child in his previous life.
Bao Zheng fixed his head and looked at Wang Bian, Wang Bian was already an adult, and he gained a lot from this trip: "Bian'er, you have grown up!" ”
Hearing this, the king smiled bitterly in his heart, how could his father-in-law know that he was smoking, let alone more than 900 years old.
Master Bao leaned forward, pointed to the West and said, "Let me ask you again, do you know the difference between the contradiction between this Western Xia and my Song Kingdom?" ”
Seeing Master Bao's mysterious look, Wang Fang thought to himself, he couldn't say everything himself, so let's give his father-in-law a chance to educate himself, he pretended to be ignorant and shook his head.
Master Bao said: "What I said is right, contradictions exist everywhere, such as this officialdom, everyone wants to be on top." This Western Xia chaos is seeking power, and those in power are noble. Let's ...... it" Bao Zheng poked the book case with his hand: "We are seeking a job!" ”
Bao Zheng summed it up so well, this Song State officialdom is a battalion and a flowing soldier, and he wants to rise to the head quickly, and he will slip down faster. Think about the countless impeachment officials of the Yushitai since Taizu, who has impeached Lord Bao Zheng.
"Father-in-law, the child knows this. Don't get in the way of others. The king said humbly.
Bao Zheng sighed: "If you ask for it, you will suffer, and if you don't want it, you will be strong!" Today, the Father will tell you a few last words. You should remember it in the future! ”
The king listened attentively, and Lord Bao's words were all good words. But I heard Bao Zheng say: "The prince has been established, the reason why you are blocked from entering the palace today, the child must know it." As a word for the father, if the crown prince ascends the throne one day, the side must be low-key, but don't be low-key, and remember that what you just said, there are contradictions where there are people. Do you understand what it means to be a father? Bao Zheng stared at the reflection next to the king, boy, do you need to be more clear? As long as you take advantage of the contradictions, you can at least protect yourself.
Wang nodded vigorously, which he understood: if there is a contradiction, the contradiction will be solved, and if there is no contradiction, the contradiction will be created.
Lord Bao or this sentence was too long, he took a sip and cleared his throat, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Lord Sima has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and this time it seems that the prince has made a meritorious decision, and he went to Zhongshu Province that day to send the documents for the establishment of the prince." That tone and demeanor surprised even Lord Han. ”
Wang Jian heard Bao Zheng say this, and thought carefully about the place where he didn't offend Sima Guang, but Lord Han Qi didn't like Wang Jian very much because of Di Qing's matter. "It seems that Lord Sima is trying to protect Grandpa Zhao. If you want to talk about Lord Sima and Lord Han, I think Lord Sima is easier to talk to. ”
Bao Zheng shook his head: "Say that you are a child, you are really a child, whether the two of them are good or not, not about you, but who is more favored by the prince." Sima Guang is not a rich man. ”
When Bao Zheng said this, Huo Ran next to Wang understood that Prime Minister Fu Bi was honest and honest, and Han Qi had always been arrogant, so how did he know that Sima Guang was not arrogant? Han Qi and Fu Bi can work together, but they may not be able to work with Sima Guang. Wang Bi's heart moved, if Yingzong came to power, he would still be a nobody, although he couldn't deal with himself, but when he wanted to pinch himself, he would have to see who could stand on his own side.
Is the king so careful? Originally, he was just a businessman, not really! But he saved Di Qing and set fire to the boat sent by the prince, Lord Bao Zheng is here, and his father Wang Anshi is in the court, these can be big or small, if one day it falls into the hands of Zhao Zongshi, when the new and old accounts are settled together, the king should be careful.
Wang Jian listened to Lord Bao's words and didn't seem to understand, but he also understood a little, at least he knew two key people, Sima Guang and Han Qi.
On the second day, the king came to the house again, and the old eunuch was still sitting there. Ren Shouzhong saw Wang come in, but he didn't move, his buttocks were firmly glued to the chair, his thin white neck was leaned, and he looked at Wang with slanted eyes.
The king was still very polite: "The annoying father-in-law said that the king asked to see him." As he spoke, he pressed the fold and handed it over.
Ren Shouzhong didn't look at it, he was still sitting there, he stretched out his pale hand, looked at the nails on his hand and said: "Son, please go back, the emperor has a will, no one will see it!" ”
Another ingot of silver was added next to the king, and this time Ren Shouzhong took a look, and he was a little tempted. Ren Shouzhong is greedy for money, how dare he drop the Kowloon Cup if he wasn't greedy?
Seeing Ren Shouzhong looking at the silver, Wang Bei swallowed his saliva, and simply added another ingot. This next Shouzhong can't sit still, the prince is the prince, so isn't there still an emperor? The crown prince did not ascend the throne, and the emperor had the final say. After convincing himself in this way, he jumped up from his chair, grabbed the silver and the fold, and walked out of the internal affairs office.
This time, before he entered the emperor's bedroom, he met Zhao Zongshi and was sent back directly. When he saw the king again, the king's face was not very good-looking. The king was standing in the hallway waiting for him.
Just now, while he was passing on the word, the king inquired about the name of the eunuch, and if he didn't listen, he was already furious. Don't wait for Zhao Zongshi to settle accounts with me, I'll settle accounts with you first.
Ren Shouzhong walked in front of the king, and he didn't seem to have the feeling of being soft at all, "The emperor's dragon body is not safe, and he is not allowed to see him today!" And he said that he would walk past the king.
The king stretched out his arm to stop him: "May I ask what is the name of this father-in-law?" ”
"I'm just a minister, I don't need to know what my son is!" Ren Shouzhong didn't have long eyebrows, and he didn't even see that the king didn't mean to be polite.
"Ren Shouzhong!" At last the king could not bear it any longer, and he tugged at the eunuch's collar and lifted him up with a force in his arm. The eunuch's thin body was heavily pressed against the pillar of the corridor of the Internal Affairs Office.
Wang next to the left hand held down the eunuch, and with his right hand he punched, Ren Shouzhong screamed like a pig. "Oops, oops, son, don't fight!"
His call was lively, the doors and windows in the courtyard of the Internal Affairs Office were opened, and several eunuchs ran over one after another, and when they came closer, they saw Ren Shouzhong being beaten and didn't pull, they used the unique posture of eunuchs, and the sleeves of their robes covered their mouths and noses and laughed.
The king looked at him and was angry: "Say! How is the emperor's dragon body? Why am I not allowed to see it? ”
Ren Shouzhong knows: The temper next to the king comes up, and the sky is not afraid of the earth. And there is a gold medal next to the king, the king just beat himself to death, and he is not a big deal, not to mention that now he is just a eunuch who spreads words. He begged the king with a crying voice: "Son, it's useless for you to beat me, I won't even see the emperor." Oops, oops"
Seeing the lively eunuchs giggling, Ren Shouzhong shouted, "Little rabbit cubs, oops" He wanted to call for help, but the fist next to the king fell again.
Now there is no one to help him, Wang raised his fist and looked at Ren Shouzhong's two dark green eyes. "You can't even see the emperor, who have you reported to?"
Ren Shouzhong snorted a handful of tears, and the blood flowing in his nose was sparsely ticking: "Son, spare your life, you don't care about the villain, hey, it's all the prince said." ”
When the king heard the crown prince, he was annoyed and punched him fiercely: "Fuck your uncle, you still dare to ...... Dare to frame the prince! ”
It was not that Wang Bi stammered, but that the internal affairs palace suddenly fell silent, and Wang Bi saw the eunuchs disappear with his peripheral vision, and the doors and windows were closed. With his many years of experience in the office, he must be an important person, no matter who it is, he can't leave the handle next to the king and change his words.
Ren Shouzhong wailed: "It's really the prince who said it, you are not allowed to see it!" ”
The king shouted loudly: "Impossible! The prince has always treated me well, not to mention that the reinstatement is a big deal, it must be that you think I gave you little money and framed the prince! ”
Ren Shouzhong was about to explain, and he heard a voice next to him say: "If I'm not mistaken, this is Wang Gongzi, right?" ”
Wang raised his fist and looked back, Han Qi appeared at the door of the Internal Affairs Mansion with a smile, looking at himself with a ribbon like a "hula hoop". He hurriedly threw Ren Shouzhong on the ground, and said to Han Qi: "It's exactly below."
