Chapter 145: Naming the General Guide to Governance
Zhao Ji looked at the scene in front of him a little embarrassed, not agreeing to the king is equivalent to losing his trust, promise the king, the ministers in the court have objections. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info lowered his head and coughed a few times, hiding his embarrassment, and at the same time quieting the court.
"Your Majesty, this is not good, if you are allowed to ask for soldiers by the King of Zhennan today, then tomorrow King Wu and the day after tomorrow the King of Xian will come to you to ask for soldiers, wouldn't it be a mess?" Sima Guang said with a serious face.
Zhao Ji glanced at Sima Guang, and said in his heart, I don't know this yet?! "Brother Wang, since this official has promised you, he will definitely not break his word. However, if you want to be in such a hurry, you must allow the official to consult with the privy minister. ”
"What's there to talk about? The emperor can transfer a battalion of soldiers to my use, and besides, I am also doing things for the court! ”
"Doing things for the court?" Wang's words put a question mark in everyone's hearts, could it be that the emperor secretly sent Wangbian to do something big? Even Sima Guang looked at the king without scruples.
Wang next to Sima Guang walked up to Sima Guang instead, put his arm on Sima Guang's shoulder like an old friend for many years, and said with a smile: "I know that Sima Xianggong is an upright person, loyal to his superiors, and even more polite to his colleagues. Although you and my father had different political views back then, they have been friends for so many years, and this time my father came from Jiangning to congratulate you, you can help me watch him, he has never been a drinker. ”
Sima Guang's face was a little embarrassed, everyone in the court knew that he and Wang Anshi were mortal enemies, but few people knew that they had been in contact. On this visit to Beijing, those old-school party members who opposed the new law were all gearing up to deal a severe blow to those who supported the new law. These Sima Guang didn't know, especially just now when Zhang Ruxian came up to impeach Wang Anli in a hurry, Sima Guang felt that his errand was not so easy to do.
Everyone looked at Sima Guang suspiciously, and under the gaze of everyone, Sima Guang said noomly: "But there are often contacts, and the prince is very knowledgeable, which is obvious to all." ”
"That's right!" Without waiting for Sima Guang to finish speaking, Wang patted Sima Guang next to him: "Presumably, Princess Sima Xiangxiu's "Tongjian" has been compiled, this king congratulates Sima Xianggong!" ”
Sima Guang couldn't help but be stunned, this is his own painstaking effort, this book has been written for more than ten years, and now he has just completed the last part of "Tongjian", "Tang Ji" and "Five Dynasties", this matter was not even mentioned to Wang Anshi, how did Wang Bian know first.
"Sima Xianggong, has the Tongjian been compiled?" Zhao Ji asked happily.
"Exactly! The "Tongjian" compiled by Lao Chen for 19 years began in the 23rd year of King Weilie of Zhou (403 BC) and ended in the 6th year of Zhou Xiande (959), a total of 1362 years. The book is divided into 16 periods according to dynasties, and the whole book is 294 volumes, which is now complete! ”
"Sima Xianggong is really amazing!"
"Sure enough, it's the first phase of the ages!"
"Nineteen years, no wonder Sima Xianggong is not moved by high-ranking officials."
There was a lot of praise in the court, and Sima Guang was happy in his heart, but he lowered his head and tried his best to make people see modesty.
"Okay, very good, my father's wish has finally come true!" Zhao Ji nodded.
"Please also ask the emperor to give Tongjian a name!" Sima Guang pleaded.
"Yes! Your Majesty, the completion of the huge book written by Sima Xianggong, this is a major event in our dynasty, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor! I don't know who caused the head, but it seems that Sima Guang wrote the compiled Tongjian, which became a gratifying event in the court.
Wang Bian secretly thought that this "Tongjian" is indeed a good thing, it is the first chronicle of China's general history, and it occupies an extremely important position in China's official history books. Listening to everyone's request for the emperor to give Tongjian a name, the king's heart moved and he said. "Holy and Slow ......"
"Brother Wang, what is the matter with you?" Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning, could there be any ghost ideas next to this king.
"Didn't Sima Xianggong advise me not to use troops just now? I'm not good at this, I'm more hypocritical. So here I want to compare myself with Sima Xianggong. ”
"What do you compare to me?"
"Who can sympathize with the Holy Lord better than Sima Xianggong and understand the heart of the Holy One." Wang looked sideways at Sima Guang with a hint of provocation.
"This, how does this compare?"
"Let's compare this Tongjian!"
As soon as the king's voice fell, there was a burst of laughter in the court: "What's wrong with this prince?" Is he going to compile it in nineteen years? ”
"You guys talk too much, who is the king of Zhennan? Maybe I can make it up in ten years! There was a mockery in his voice.
"Haha, even if it takes a year, it's just an imitation, how can it be compared with what Sima Xianggong compiled first."
Zhao Ji looked at Wang Bian, this guy would definitely not say anything that he was not sure about, but he was also interested at the moment, how did Wang Bian compete?
Wang didn't bother to pay attention to the following discussions, he arched his hand at Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask for a decree to let you pass through the book and give your name?" You write a name, I write a name. If the name is similar, I lose, what do you think? ”
"Oh? Brother Wang is so sure? ”
Wang Fang nodded and looked at Sima Guang, Sima Guang smiled: "The prince's words are a bit big, if this matter is not mentioned by the prince today, I am afraid that the old minister will have to show the emperor again and again." I heard that the prince had just returned from Tibet, and this was the first time to go to the court, so I believed that the prince could not ask the emperor for this matter in advance. ”
"Pen and ink waiting!" Zhao Ji also came to the spirit, this state is like a person who has been sick for a long time.
The eunuch held a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji lifted the pen and thought about it, and saw that there was also pen and ink in front of the king next to him, but he was not in a hurry: "Brother Wang, you don't write?" ”
"The emperor began to write that I am writing, otherwise it seems that our monarchs and ministers have a good heart?!"
"Cut! Brag! A subtle voice wafted through the hall.
Zhao Ji frowned, as if he suddenly thought of something, and began to write on the paper.
Only then did Wang pick up the pen, write "Zizhi Tongjian" on the paper, and handed it to Sima Guang after writing: "Sima Xianggong, you can put it away!" ”
Sima Guang took the paper and looked puzzled, but the emperor hadn't finished writing yet, so it was inconvenient to ask more. Waiting for Zhao Ji to stop writing, the eunuch picked up what Zhao Ji wrote and handed it to Sima Guang, Sima Guang opened it and looked at what was written next to the king, and was speechless.
"Sima Guang, what is the result of your test?" Zhao Ji asked.
"Holy Lord, it seems that the prince has won!" Sima Guang looked at it for a long time, and finally said.
"How is that possible? How did the prince know the title of the book that the emperor was going to give? ”
Everyone who watched was confused, this little thing was too pediatric to look at the king.
In view of the past, the Holy Lord's "Tongjian" is qualified to govern the Tao, and it is given the name "Zizhi Tongjian". What the prince wrote is "Zizhi Tongjian", look at the emperor! Sima Guang said, and happily presented what Wang Bi and Zhao Ji wrote at the same time.
In this matter, no one can accept it! The king stood aside proudly, looking at the disgraced faces of the people who had laughed at him just now, and he was very proud.
In the vertical arch hall after retreating from the dynasty, Zhao Ji frowned and drank the medicine sent by the eunuch, wiped the corners of his mouth and looked up to see the king sitting in the hall: "Brother Wang, this time you have taken advantage of your heart?" I don't know when Brother Wang will leave the capital? ”
"The emperor is so looking forward to me leaving quickly?!" Wang said half-jokingly, to be honest, he was too satisfied with Zhao Ji handing over a battalion of soldiers led by the Seed Master Dao to him, but looking at Zhao Ji in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the grievances between his father and Sima Guang.
"Look at what you say. If you leave two days later, I would like to invite you to sit in the palace. ”
"The emperor wants to catch up with me, and he can summon me into the palace at any time."
Zhao Ji shook his head: "It's not just you ......"
"Oh?" Wang Bi obviously knew that Zhao Ji had recently transferred Su Shi to Beijing, but he still deliberately sighed.
"Your Majesty, Professor Li and Master Su have arrived." Yang Jian said in Zhao Ji's ear.
"Well, bring them to the official's house!"
Not long after, the eunuch walked into the palace with two officials, Li Gefei had seen Wang Bei earlier, while Su Shi and Wang Bi had not seen each other for many years. Unexpectedly, Su Shi's hair was already a lot grayer at a young age, his gray hair looked a little old, and the once romantic and talented man is now experiencing prison and the pain of losing his son, and the whole person has lost his luster as if he was not old and decrepit.
"I don't know what is the important matter for the Holy Lord to summon his subordinates?" The two of them muttered for a long time while waiting outside, and suddenly transferred both of them to the capital, not knowing what was going on in the court.
"Sit down!"
Xie Shengshang, the two of them were even, and when they got up and sat down, they saw the king beside them: "It turns out that the prince is also there?!" ”
Wang Fang nodded and smiled at the two of them, and then asked Zhao Ji: "Shengshang, it seems that it is really a coincidence, they are all here!" ”
This sentence seems to have a profound meaning, but Su Shi and Li Gefei didn't hear it, and the two of them looked at Wang with blank faces. Zhao Ji agreed: "Yes, it's a coincidence, but it's not all there!" It's a pity that Yuan Ze is gone, back then, we Kaiyun Xuan, the people who did the cloud picking, now there are people who are not there, I am afraid that there will be people who will not be there in the future. As he spoke, his eyes swept over the faces of Wang, Li Gefei, and Su Shi, and his expression was a little sad.
This kind of look has been seen next to the king, and there is a saying that people are about to die, and their words are good. Song Yingzong back then, when he finally looked at the king, he was also like this, both guilty and helpless. And what Wang Bian is most afraid of is this look, the Great Song Dynasty gave him a lot, but also took away a lot of him, sometimes Wang Bian really wants to hate a happy one, but every time he encounters such a thing, what kind of resentment he can't mention.
"Could it be that there is something in the court that makes it difficult for the Holy Lord to solve his worries, so he asked a few of us to come?" Li Gefei asked tentatively.
"Stand down!" Zhao Ji sent the eunuchs around him, and the maids and maids all withdrew.
The door creaked and slammed, followed by silence in the arched hall, and everyone seemed to be thinking about something. Su Shi was still immersed in the pain of losing his son, and Li Gefei looked at Zhao Ji blankly.
Zhao Ji closed his eyes slightly, and muttered for a moment: "Sometimes the official family really envy you, thinking back to the past, a few of us, chanting poems and talking about indulgence, at that time it was simple and happy. ”
Several people who said a few words were silent, and it seemed that the scene of that year was vivid. "The official family knows that he can't do it, but now he only apologizes to you, watching your official fortunes rise and fall, it seems that I am powerless to act. I'm still the king of a dynasty, and in the end, I don't even have anyone to say anything from my heart. ”
"Say what? The Holy One feels that we are not in the same mind as you, and that we are hindering what the Holy One wants to do, whether it is promoted or degraded is the Holy Will, and we have never complained. Please also take care of the dragon body! Su Shi seemed to come out of his grief and persuaded in a low voice.
Zhao Ji shook his head painfully, seeing Zhao Ji like this, Wang Bi couldn't say how tangled he was in his heart, did he have a grudge against Zhao Ji? One is a king, the other is a minister, one is for rule, and the other is for realizing his own ideas.
Li Gefei suddenly couldn't hold it back, and suddenly turned to the king's side and asked, "Lord Wang, haven't you been alchemy for the emperor?" What about your Dan? Do you just look at the Holy One in such pain? ”
