Half of Wang Anshi's resignation was because of his son Wang Bei, he was proud of his son, but he also knew that this time Wang Bei was more auspicious, especially he had already seen that Wang Bei seemed to have a deep hatred for the Japanese slave country.

The other half of Wang Anshi's resignation is that he saw Zhao Shu incompetent, the Queen Mother hung the curtain, and the Queen Mother had a gentle personality.

After writing the resignation, Wang Anshi sighed, and then looked up to find that his eldest son Wang Yuanze was still in the study, Yuan Ze looked at his father worriedly, Wang Anshi found that he had returned to the house somewhat out of shape.

"Yuan Ze, for my father to resign and return to his hometown, you will stay in the capital and wait for your brother's news; Second, prepare for the exam. ”

Yuan Ze bowed his head and said, "Follow my father's orders." He had a question in his heart, so he then asked, "Father, since you resigned from the official position, why do you still want me to take the exam?" ”

Wang Anshi looked at Yuan Ze, his son had grown up, and he said lightly: "My resignation is not because of setbacks in my career, but because I can't do things for the people now, and letting you take the exam is not to make you an official, but to confirm your ability." ”

Yuan Ze listened to the low, wanting to compare Wang Bei's grades, he was somewhat ashamed, Wang Anshi saw Yuan Ze's thoughts: "Yuan Ze, you don't have to compare with your brother, your brother can't compare with you in terms of learning, but maybe it's because he has not been restrained since he was a child, and he is not so restrained in doing things, and everyone has his own life." ”

Hearing his father say this, Yuan Ze felt a lot more comfortable, and he was not jealous of Wang Bei's achievements, he suddenly remembered an important thing: "Father, I have news of the girl under the moon." ”

When Wang Anshi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "The girl under the moon is good, how did you get the news?" ”

Yuan Ze's news is a big detour: "The girl under the moon is now in the deep palace, it is said that she is unscathed, and her father can rest assured for the time being, this news is obtained, all thanks to his father's student Li Gefei, and his father-in-law Wang Qi is now Zhongzhen's teacher." ”

When Wang Anshi heard this, he suddenly realized: "I'm old now, and I can't even think of asking someone to inquire." ”

Yuan Ze hurriedly shook his head, after all, Yuexia is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and it is not good for Wang Anshi to inquire with people in the court: "It is naturally inconvenient for my father's identity to inquire with other officials, we have a relationship with Ge Fei and the current prince Zhong Zhen, and Zhong Zhen can't meet us now, so he can only ask his teacher to bring a letter to Ge Fei." ”

Wang Anshi was a little relieved when he heard the news, and he asked Yuan Ze to pay more attention to the news in the palace, and that night Wang Anshi told his wife about the preparations for resignation, and the next day his wife was waiting for Wang Anshi to resign while saluting slightly,

There were only Mrs. and Rou'er in the room, and suddenly Rou'er knelt in front of Mrs., and Mrs. was startled: "Rou'er, what's wrong with you." ”

I saw Rou'er pleading with tears streaming down her face: "Please be the master, I want to stay in the capital and wait for the news of the second son." ”

Mrs. was sad at a glance, Rou'er has been serving the demented second son, at that time as a child daughter-in-law was ready to leave Rou'er in the house, who knew that Wang Bi suddenly recovered, and married a girl under the moon, now Rou'er is already seventeen or eighteen years old girl, the matter of concubine because Wang Bi is often not in the capital has been delayed so far, she also knows that Rou'er has a deep affection for Wang Bi, Mrs. thought about it, and ordered someone to call Yuan Ze,

Yuan Ze saw Rou'er crying like a tearful person, and he understood a little in his heart, so he prepared to take a small sedan chair to send Rou'er to Mayer's house, as soon as Yuan Ze and Rou'er entered the house, they found that the house was deserted and lacked the excitement of the past.

In the past two days, the people in the house have been in a very sad mood, Lu Shenyan and Rouge Hu have already known the news that Gongzi can't return to the capital from Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping, and they will see that Miss Rou'er is coming, and they are more relieved.

At present, Jinxiulou and Yunxuan are closed due to the national funeral, and they can't come back; Jiao Deyou and Wu Ling escorted Li Enxi's mother and son to Liao; He Xingyuan temporarily went to the Western Xia side to take care of the salt field next to the king; Cai Jing went to Jianzhou again, and the matter of the tea field had to continue, after all, it was related to the tribute tea of the imperial court.

Under the moon and Tong Xiao, they are in the deep palace confinement,

In a remote courtyard in the forbidden area, a palace maid carried a food box to the room, after the palace maid withdrew, Tong Xiao opened the food box, took out the food inside and laid it on the table, and then walked to the bedside: "Mother, eat something, or my brother will be hungry." ”

Yuexia wiped her tears, held her already bulging belly, and made it to the edge of the table, she only ate two bites, and then she couldn't eat, and looked up at Tong Xiao, the child seemed to have grown taller, and Tong Xiao's round little face had been emaciated in the past few months.

Yuexia looked at Tong Xiao distressedly: "Xiao'er, I have wronged you." As she spoke, she thought of the child in her womb, and her tears couldn't help falling.

Tong Xiao wiped his tears with his sleeve under the moon, he was already sensible a lot, and said while wiping: "Mother, I am almost ten years old, I am a man, I am not wronged at all, I protect my mother, don't be afraid." ”

Yuexia listened to the tears and smiled, what does this child know, he only knows that Yuexia and Wang next to him are the most painful to him, seeing Yuexia laughing, Tong Xiao rose up, he flashed his eyes, and said a little pleadingly: "Mother, I'll go to the yard to play with that old man for a while, okay." ”

Yuexia knew that the old man Tong Xiao said was a minister in the palace, responsible for guarding their mother and son: "Xiao'er, did that old man teach you to let your mother eat well, otherwise my brother will be hungry." ”

Tong Xiao nodded, Yuexia sighed slightly, since Zhao Shu was taken to Pu Di, Yuexia is like being locked in a prison, Zhao Shu has been crazy for a few days, and when it is good, she asks Yuexia, whether Wang Bi will be witchcrafting, she looks forward to the news of Wang Bi every day, sometimes Yuexia hopes that Zhao Shu is well, at least she knows that Wang Bi is safe,

Since Zhao Shu ascended the throne, he has imprisoned Yuexia in this deep palace, and now, he has no news from the outside at all, if he is not pregnant, and Tong Xiao is by his side, Yuexia is really unable to hold on, and there is another thing that supports her, that is, she knows that Wang Bi will definitely come back to save him, this kind of waiting and anxiety, which is what Tong Xiao, a child, can understand,

Yuexia also knows that although Tong Xiao is a little naughty, she is smart and sensible, and she has also secretly seen it, the old eunuch is silent, but he is very good to Tong Xiao, and occasionally brings some gadgets to Tong Xiao, it seems that he likes Tong Xiao very much, and it shouldn't hurt him,

"Go ahead, remember what my mother said to you."

Tong Xiao squeezed a sly smile: "Mother, don't worry, I'll let him talk more and come back and tell my mother." After saying that, I ate in two bites, put down the bowl and ran to the small yard to play.

The door of this small courtyard is closed, the main house is where Tong Xiao lives under the moon, there is an ear room in the east and west, and there are one or two palace maids who serve the moon, and the minister who looks at the official under the moon, at this moment, the old eunuch is cleaning up the weeds on the land on both sides of the bluestone road in the courtyard, seeing that he seems to want to plant something, is it difficult to make long-term plans here,

"Uncle" Tong Xiao ran beside the man, squatting down to help him weed and said, "What story are you telling me today?" ”

The eunuch saw Tong Xiao coming, he liked this child from the bottom of his heart, he stood up and took Tong Xiao into his room, washed his hands and said, "You child, you want me to tell stories every day, how can you thank me." As he spoke, he took out a clay doll from the cabinet and gave it to Tong Xiao.

Tong Xiao played with the clay doll and said, "Now I can't thank you, when I go home with my mother, I have a lot of good things at home, I will ask my mother again, okay." ”

The eunuch smiled, the child is the child, but he was thinking in his heart, he really didn't know when their mother and son would be able to go back, "Then how many stories I told you, do you remember?" ”

Tong Xiao rolled his eyes: "Remember, the golden cicada came out of its shell, turned the tiger away from the mountain, and the trees bloomed, and by the way, it was ...... to fight thieves."

Well, the old eunuch nodded with a smile: "I can't talk about it in vain today, I told you so much, you have to tell me one too." ”

Tong Xiao pursed his lips, he remembered that he had promised his mother, and he didn't say anything to this old man, the old eunuch smiled, he had worked hard to keep their mother and son safe, but it was not an overnight thing to gain trust, and Zhao Shu asked the lady next to the king, and he couldn't ask what the prince wanted to know, what could this child know,

"Then I'll tell you a story today: Once upon a time, there was a Jin state that wanted to annex two small neighboring states: Yu and Yu, and the relationship between these two countries was good. If Jin attacked, Yu would also send troops to help, and later Jin Xiangong took out two treasures of his beloved, yielded good horses and the wall of thorns, and gave them to Yu Gong, Yu Gong got the good horse and beautiful bi, and was so happy that his mouth couldn't close, Jin deliberately created an incident on the border of Jin and Yu, and found an excuse to cut Yu, and Jin asked Yu to take advantage of the Jin State to let Jin Guo cut Yu, and Yu Gong got the benefits of Jin and had to agree. ”

"Later." Tong Xiao asked anxiously,

The old eunuch said with a smile: "Later, the Jin army passed through the road of Yu State, attacked the Kingdom of Yu, and soon achieved victory, when the class returned home, he divided a lot of the looted property to Yu Gong, the general of the Jin army, Rick, this fashion was sick, said that he could not bring troops back to China, and temporarily stationed the troops near the capital of Yu State, Yu Gong had no doubt, a few days later, Jin Xian Gongqin led the army to go, Yu Gong went out of the city to greet him, and Yu Gong went hunting, after a while, I saw a fire in the capital, and when Yu Gong rushed to the outside of the city, the capital was forcibly occupied by the Jin armyIn this way, the Jin State easily destroyed the Yu State again,"

Tong Xiao listened with big eyes, don't he is the most annoying to read, but he is cute to listen to good stories, how does he know that this eunuch is slowly instilling him with the art of war and tactics, and this eunuch never thought that Tong Xiao would become a general in the future,
