Zeng Gongliang didn't answer positively, he looked at these books and said: "Wang Shilang is not what it used to be, just now the old man also listened to what Wang Shilang said, and saw that Wang Shilang has a lot of achievements, and Wang Shilang knows a lot about the art of strategy, these books are what I just said, but Emperor Renzong personally ordered to compile, Renzong in order to prevent lax military preparations, the general "Xian ancient and modern learning", I don't know the history of ancient and modern warfare and the art of war, so I ordered me and the Ministry of Industry to participate in the governor Ding Du, etc., it took five years to compile this set of "Wujing General Essentials", after Emperor Renzong personally approved, A preface was also written to this end. ”

Wang knew that since the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to prevent local secession, the commanders had the dictatorship, and the commanders' right to command troops and the right to formulate battle plans were under the direct control of the emperor, but it was overkill, and as a result, the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals, resulting in the defeat of the battle and the retreat, but he did not expect that Emperor Renzong had seen the paralysis and admired Renzong even more in his heart.

Zeng Gongliang continued: "This book compiles in detail the military system, military organization, selection and use of troops, formations, mountains and rivers geography and other military theories and rules, and also describes in detail the selection and use of troops, education and training, troop formation, marching and camping, ancient and modern formations, communication reconnaissance, city attack and defense, fire attack and water warfare, weapons and equipment, etc., the first emperor intended to reorganize the military, and one day he could strengthen the country by force, how could the first emperor go too early...... Alas. ”

Wang looked at Zeng Gongliang on the side, Zeng Xiang's personal compilation was inevitably suspected of boasting, whether it was so powerful, he was a little curious, what does this have to do with Zeng Gongliang's entrusting himself, "Zeng Xiang, now that the book has been compiled and integrated, you have also fulfilled your wish, if Zeng Xiang wants to entrust me to read this book, I will read this book slowly." ”

Zeng Gongliang nodded: "Wang Shilang, you are still young and with your qualifications, you will be able to achieve a great cause, but what I said is not only these, this book is divided into two episodes, twenty volumes each, but the first set of our compilation is twenty-two volumes, the latter set is twenty-one volumes, and now there are three volumes missing, and it is very important, Wang Shilang has wisely broken the Nine Dragons Cup, and now if he can recover those three volumes, it can be regarded as comforting the emperor's soul in the sky." ”

"I lost three volumes, how did I lose them, and what was written in those three volumes was so important." The king's belly was full of confusion,

"The three volumes written are the plan to attack and defend the city, including water attack, fire attack, these are my Great Song Dynasty can not be other countries, and there is a very important volume, the first set of 16 to 22 volumes records my Great Song Dynasty military road, camp setting, of which Guangnan West Road is lost, this matter is important, Guangnan West Road is Jiaozhi and my Great Song Dynasty intersect, if this volume is Jiaozhi from this invasion of the border danger."

Wang Bin dragged his chin with his hand and pondered, this matter is indeed very serious, no matter how to say that Yingzong Zhao Shu is harsh on himself, it is also an internal contradiction among the people, if it is a Jiaozhi invasion, it will be a contradiction between the enemy and me, not to mention that the Song Dynasty Jiaozhi is Vietnam after a thousand years, not only there are still territorial disputes, Vietnam also wantonly plunders our oil resources in the South China Sea,

"I promised to investigate this matter, but how can I find it out." And the king said,

Zeng Gongliang heard that the king agreed, and said happily: "I just said that the emperor and Prime Minister Bao will never look at the wrong person, if Wang Shilang finds out about this matter, it will not be in vain for the old man's years of hard work." ”

"Nope." The king shook his head,

"How not." Zeng Gongliang just saw some hope, and when he heard the king say no, he hurriedly asked,

"There are priorities, this matter is not something that can be done in a day, my own affairs have not been dealt with, and now there is an urgent need to burn coal, and this matter cannot be investigated clearly, I am not allowed to resign now, and there are many inconveniences." How did the king think about it, how did he feel that he had to push it,

"Yes, this matter is not a one-day matter, and if you want to commit it, you have already made a move, the old man has an idea, so he will take advantage of your private situation to ask the emperor to allow you to resign, so that you can use the name of business to secretly visit this matter, as for your father-in-law and teacher's tomb, I ask the emperor to send someone to ask for the funeral, and allow you to enter the imperial mausoleum to worship, what do you think." Zeng Gongliang said to the king in a consultative tone,

Wang saw that he had already promised the prime minister, and the prime minister was so old, and he was entrusted by the emperor to find his own errand, and it didn't mean anything to excuse himself, "Okay, then please also ask the prime minister to allow me to bury my deceased wife first, and there is one more thing to discuss with Zeng Xiang, such as today's cold and freezing, but the people of the capital have no coal to burn, since this matter started from my Jinxiang Mansion earlier, I want to ask the prime minister to play the suffering of the people of the court and solve this urgent need for coal." ”

Zeng Gongliang said, "This matter, the old man has also heard about it, but there are officials who start to play, there is no coal near Jinxiang Mansion, resulting in a shortage of coal, I don't know if Wang Shilang has been operating for many years, there is a solution to this matter." ”

Wang Bian was angry when he thought of this, but he suppressed his anger and said: "If there is no coal in Jinxiang Mansion, then how did I buy that wasteland become a low-price purchase of land, wouldn't it wronged me and the implicated officials, this is not mentioned for the time being, as far as I know, there is a shortage of coal in the capital this year, and some people are hoarding goods, and private coal yards are ready to sell at a high price." ”

Zeng Gongliang frowned when he heard this: "There is such a thing." ”

Wang said: "This person is Qin Minzhi, the head of the household department, he took advantage of the matter of Cha Jin Xiangfu to build a private coal yard to hide a large amount of coal, and wanted to sell it at a high price. ”

Zeng Gongliang lowered his head and thought about it and said: "I have a way to this matter, you can go to the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, let him start the affairs of the people's livelihood in Kaifeng Mansion, and there is another person you can find him, the official Ouyang Xiu, if he verifies the impeachment, I think that the traitor and corrupt officials will be punished, I will help the court and the central government, and the three-pronged approach can solve this emergency." ”

Wang Beixin said: Zeng Xiang, the old slippery head, presumably the surname Qin is the emperor's favorite minister, the prime minister can not exceed his authority, the people do not raise officials and do not investigate this is a convention, if you want to participate in anyone, you still have to come step by step, but the king made up his mind, only in Kaifeng Mansion to make a big deal about this matter, he is not afraid that there will be no people,

"Okay, please ask Zeng Xiang for this matter, and ask Zeng Xiang to speak for the students in front of the saint for the matter of Jinxiang Mansion."

The prime minister nodded: "Wang Shilang will deal with the matter outside his body as soon as possible, dealing with the loss of books is a major matter, and it is related to the safety of the southern part of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Wang Bei got up and was about to leave, and the prime minister said: "Wang Shilang, you must do what you promised the old man, and tomorrow I will order someone to send these books to Wang Shilang's house, and you can study them carefully, and it will not be in vain that Bao Cheng has entrusted him with the old man." ”

Alas, the king pouted his teeth, and in the end, he had to work his own work for the affairs entrusted by his father-in-law to the prime minister, but how could he have time to read so many books,

Wang thanked Zeng Gongliang, came out of the prime minister's mansion, how to figure out how to think that this Song Dynasty is troublesome enough, see the sky is either to lose this or lose that, he has just returned from the north, and now he is going south, the prime minister said that this matter is not selfish, said that the public is unfair, how does he know, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang is not only really optimistic that Wang can do this, but also entrusted by Prime Minister Bao, worried that Wang next to Yingzong will be more resentful because of Yingzong's grounding under the moon, far away from the king,

Needless to say, the prime minister loves to be alone, but the king is very worried, Wa Zhuang saw that the king came out of the prime minister's mansion without saying a word, and when he arrived at the Meyer mansion, he asked: "Wang Shilang, isn't it that things are not going well." ”

Wang looked at Wa Zhuang next to him, so he just promised Nong Jifeng to go to Guangnan to see his business, it seems that the capital is really not a place for him to live for a long time: "Smooth, after a while, you will be the guide of my southern tour." ”

"Great, is Childe going to Quang Nam, don't worry, I'm definitely qualified as a guard and guide." Wa Zhuang patted his chest and said happily,

"Go open the door, be quiet." Wang went to the door of the house and instructed, it was already very late, it was estimated that the people in the house had already fallen asleep, Wa Zhuang gently patted the door, the family opened the door and brought the two horses over, and someone carried a lantern to the king to light the way, the courtyard was silent, and the moonlight hung coldly in the air,

Wang bypassed the front yard, walked through the garden to the inner house, pushed open the courtyard door and saw that the light in his room was on, and his heart warmed slightly, but in an instant, he thought that the person who kept the lamp for himself was no longer under the moon, and his heart was a little stunned, and the people in the room seemed to hear the sound of the courtyard door, and as soon as the door of the room opened, Rou'er came out with a lantern to greet him.

The family closed the courtyard door and turned to leave, Wang walked into the room, and just wanted to send Rou'er back to the room, when he saw Tong Xiao rubbing his sleepy eyes: "Daddy, you are back." ”

The king walked up to him and patted him on the head: "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Tong Xiao closed the book on the table: "The child waits for his father to speak, if he goes to sleep, tomorrow his father will not know what to do." ”

Wang next to see Tong Xiao's pitiful appearance, really angry and funny, why did he change his name to Tong Guan, the unlucky child is really not worried, but after all, he is still a child, guide it slowly,

"Daddy, I want to hear your story about the war." Tong Xiao said

Rou'er patted him: "Good, your father is very tired, can you go back to the room with me to sleep." ”

Tong Xiao pursed his mouth, and the king said to Tong Xiao and Yuexia, and he was also wondering how they were doing during this time, so he stopped and said, "Tong Xiao will sleep with Daddy today." ”

When Tong Xiao heard that the Coke was broken, she grimaced at Rou'er, then ran to the bed, kicked off her shoes, got into the quilt and said, "Erniang, go quickly, I want to listen to my father's story." ”

Hearing Tong Xiao call herself Erniang, Rou'er's face turned red, and Wang saw that Rou'er was shy and said, "You can rest" and sent Rou'er, Wang took off his coat, changed into civilian clothes and sat on the bed to ask Tong Xiao about the affairs of the palace,

Without saying a few words, Tong Xiao fell asleep, what a child, Wang smiled helplessly,

The next morning, Wang opened his eyes, and there was a person in front of him in the haze, and if he looked closely, it was Tong Xiao, who was staring at his neck: "What are you looking at?" The king asked strangely,

Tong Xiao tilted his head sideways and thought for a while and said, "Daddy, I've seen this stone on your neck." ”
