Chapter 049: Admit My Mistake
Shen Kuo didn't want to see the magistrate, so he pulled the king to leave. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang grabbed him and asked, "Brother Shen, what's the hurry?" Do you know who the new prefect of this place is? ”
"I don't know, we didn't pass through this place when we headed for Yongle City a few months ago. Ay! Who does he care? We are a defeated army, so many people have passed through this place, and I have not seen the prefect send someone to send a letter or invitation or anything. Shen Kuo said in a low voice, listening to the tone that seemed to be quite resentful.
Wang Fang thought to himself that those who could come to worship Xue Xiang should be those who supported the new policy. However, the New Deal is mostly out of the heart of the people, and it is not necessarily necessary to come up with any policies for the people everywhere, but the virtue of officials can be seen in small things. And this prefect seems to be too much of an official and a master, and this kind of worship is simply a matter of sitting down, which can be seen that it is not sincere.
Thinking of this, he also felt that he couldn't see it, and was just about to leave with Shen Kuo, when he heard a warm-hearted person next to him reply: "This son, who is the new prefect you ask?" I really know that......"
Wang looked back and saw that it was the person who was called Second Brother Zhang who was riding a donkey on the road just now.
"Hehe, it turned out to be the second brother Zhang, a know-it-all, I heard from you!" The king arched his hand.
Second Brother Zhang laughed when he heard it: "Know-it-all? I didn't think I still had this reputation! If you hear that, just call me a jack of all trades. Everyone around them snickered.
"Let me tell you, this new prefect's surname Cai is very good, do you know? At the beginning, when the Third Division was in charge of the Regulations Division, he was mainly in charge of water conservancy, and it is said that he did not mention a big project. It's a pity that I heard that his backstage is Wang Anshi Xianggong, if this new law can continue to be implemented, it is estimated that this kid is at least a third-grade official now. Now......" he said, stretching out a hand and drawing a five, "Five pins!" Or a magistrate! ”
"If you want to say that, this prefect is still good, but his subordinates are strong enough."
"It's hard to say, look at it, he won't allow us to worship when he comes to worship, this posture and this pomp, it is estimated that the life of the people of Duncheng may not be better in the future!" Second Brother Zhang pouted and looked at the prefect's sedan chair that was getting closer and closer.
Who could this be talking about? Wang Fang is like a mirror in his heart, his surname Cai is well written, and he is also Wang Anshi's right-hand man, there is only one person in history, and that is Cai Jing. And Cai Jing also has enough reasons to worship Xue Xiang, he followed the king to Xixia and passed by here, seeing that the people were not living after the flood, he angrily swore that if he could become an official one day, he must control the flood. And Cai Jing apprenticed to Hou Shuxian, who was also an expert in water conservancy in the Song Dynasty.
Listening to the people's discussions, the people will remember everyone's merits and demerits, Cai Jing has become famous, and people remember what he did to manage water conservancy, but they also can't accept his publicity today.
A soldier who opened the way walked up to the crowd: "Shanka, don't you hear?" You are blocked here, how can the prefect enter the door? Two or three more soldiers came up and drove the man at the door backwards.
"Isn't that a wide door enough to enter?" Suddenly, a person in the crowd asked in a loud voice.
Everyone's eyes looked at the man, and a young man stood in the crowd with his head held high, frowning slightly and questioning the soldier.
"Yo, how do you speak? Did you let the prefect get out of the sedan chair and go in? The soldier glared at him.
The corners of Wang's mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to be smiling with disdain: "Since you are here to sacrifice, you should get off the sedan chair!" ”
"What a guts!" The soldier raised his whip at the king's side, and when he threw it on the ground, it frightened the king, and the whip fell to the ground and smoked a wisp of dust, and the rest of the people retreated.
Wang Bei not only did not retreat, but took a few steps forward, standing at the door of the ancestral hall and hugging his arms: "Today, I have to let him get off the sedan chair here!" ”
There was also a fire next to the king, so arrogant Cai Jing, how did I educate my subordinates back then, it seems that this kid has been floating very well in recent years. Don't look at the soldier with his teeth and claws, suddenly stood up and blocked the door of the ancestral hall, he didn't know what to do with it all of a sudden, watching Cai Jing's sedan chair getting closer and closer, the soldier was a little anxious: "You get out of the way, otherwise I'm welcome." ”
"Get out of the way, young man!" There were older courtmen in the crowd who persuaded him.
"No flash! How are you going?! The king glared.
The soldier furrowed his brows, and the fierce god swung the whip again, this time not really striking, and the whip fell to the ground by the king's clothes, and raised a wisp of dust.
"What? Don't dare. Wang Bei smiled contemptuously, this kind of fox and tiger mighty thing, I want to teach him a good lesson today.
The third whip soldier flicked his wrist, and there was a crisp "snap", and the crowd screamed, and the whip landed on the calf next to the king. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would be screamed immediately, it seems that this whip is not light, and there was a blood mark on the clothes.
"Childe, why bother? The people don't fight with the officials, get out of the way! Second Brother Zhang also said to the king.
Damn, this grandson is really doing it, the king glanced at his calf and then looked up, looking at the other party, the soldier took a step back. The first time he saw the people who were not afraid of officers and soldiers, and he didn't say a word after being whipped, he was also a little stunned.
Anyway, it had already been beaten, and the soldier raised his whip again as he stride, and this time the king had no intention of sparing him. I saw Wang take a step forward, grabbed the soldier's wrist, snatched the whip from his hand, and tied it to the soldier with three strokes and two strokes, this technique was still learned from Hu Tieling. Although it does not have the rope of his character, it can be explained more than the usual way of tying people up.
Throwing the soldier with the whip to the ground, the crowd immediately erupted in laughter, and the other three soldiers immediately surrounded the king, and Shen Kuo hurriedly walked over from the crowd with his entourage. "Everyone, misunderstanding, it's all your own family, please pass it on to the prefect ......"
The king pulled him and whispered: "What is the rumor, you are a strategic envoy, and you are no bigger than the prefect." You're not confused about fighting, you don't care about this, Cai Jing, this kid, I have to teach him a lesson. ”
Seeing that the king was so stubborn, Shen Kuo knew that he was serious, so he shook his head and flashed aside with his entourage. Three prefect soldiers surrounded the king but did not dare to act rashly, and the sedan chair had already arrived in front of the ancestral hall. A staff officer walked over, asked about the situation, and then turned back to the sedan chair.
"Lord Prefect, there is a person in front of you who blocked the door of the ancestral hall, saying that he asked you to get off the sedan chair and go in to worship."
Cai Jing was drowsy in the sedan chair, felt that the sedan chair had stopped, and when he heard the shogunate's report, he was not happy, and said angrily: "Who is so bold? Let the soldiers drive him away! ”
"I can't drive away, he's already tied up with one of us, I think this means that you have to get off the sedan this year......"
"What? Can't a dozen of us deal with him alone? ”
"Master, there are a lot of people who came today, I think if you make a big fight because of this matter, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation, why don't we go back first and come back another day?"
The sedan curtain was lifted violently, Cai Jing walked out of the sedan chair with a cat's waist and glared at the curtain official fiercely: "What kind of system!" "A dignified prefect wants to avoid worshipping another day because of a roadblock, and it doesn't make people laugh to death when it is spread out. Besides, he has just taken office, how will he be an official in the future.
"Look, the prefect is out!" There was a commotion in the crowd and whispers.
"Pretty young! It looks like he's in his early thirties. ”
"This is still young, Xue Gong was not a few years older than him when he came here."
"You look thin, like a bamboo pole, no wonder you want to make a sedan chair when you are weak."
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but the laughter was so soft that it seemed that the government did not dare to hear it.
Cai Jing pretended not to hear it, and looked at the door of the ancestral hall, which was unbelievable, and he was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the prefect was out of shape, the shogunate hurriedly reminded softly: "Master, it's that person!" ”
It's no wonder that Cai Jing was in a daze, the news of Wang Bei's return has not been publicly confirmed so far, he was busy with a bunch of handover matters, thinking that it was just the interface of the border generals, and he didn't expect Shen Kuo to pass through here on his return journey. But the king stood in front of him like this, exactly like the prince fourteen years ago, and it felt like a dream.
Cai Jing pinched the official hard: "Does it hurt?!" ”
"Oops, oops! Hurt! "The shogunate is an old man in his sixties, and his official luck has been bad all his life, because he is familiar with this place, Cai mixed up with the shogunate of the prefect, and he was pinched by this Cai Jing like this, and he screamed.
"Pain? Then I must not be dreaming! Cai Jing said to himself, and slowly walked towards the king's side. walked all the way to the king's side, and even the three soldiers surrounding the king were stupid, the prefect was frightened, right?!
Sure enough, it was Cai Jing, who had changed, lost weight, and there seemed to be anxiety, uneasiness, and unspeakable resentment between his eyebrows, but what didn't change was the respect when he looked at the king, and that foodie Cai Jing was so thin, which shows the impact of many things on him in the past ten years. I couldn't even think of the resentment king just now, and when I really saw the ancients, my mood was extremely complicated.
"You, you are?"
Shen Kuo came over from the side again: "Governor Cai, don't you recognize him?" He's a prince! You don't know him, you know me, I promise you, he is the king of Zhennan! ”
Cai Jing looked at the king in a daze, and suddenly there was a big chaos in the crowd, "Xue Gong has appeared, the prince is really back!" ”
Second Brother Zhang suddenly shouted: "Oh, I'm still a jack of all trades, I don't know the most important thing, I said how to look familiar with this person!" Lord, do you remember me? The robbers of the year, thanks to your kind words, the prefect of Chongyi did not punish us! How can I not recognize the great benefactor! As he spoke, he threw himself on his knees.
As soon as he took the lead, many people bowed, all of them were elders: "Lord Wang, King Zhennan!" You're back! ”
Cai Jing's eyes were red, with tears in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The king pointed to the people around him, and suddenly choked up: "Yuan Chang, look at it, the people remember everything clearly." You swaggered through the market today, obviously came to worship Xue Gong, but put up a shelf to bully the people, these will also be remembered! Do you remember what you said to me here? Be a good officer, you look back, you are the sedan chair today, this entourage, and this officer and soldier who opened the way. Also, the whip raised by your men, do you know that every time this whip falls, it is equivalent to whipping yourself once! ”
The dignified prefect suddenly fell on one knee and bowed his hand: "Lord Wang, I was wrong!" Wang Bei's heart was hot, and he stepped forward to help Cai Jing up.
"Good! Good lord, good prefect!! Second Brother Zhang was moved to tears, and the crowd cheered.
Cai Jing wiped his tears, since Wang Anshi resigned, the new policy was gradually stopped, and he was ostracized everywhere in the court. Now that the prince is back, he has a backbone, and at the same time, he is indeed guilty of what he just did. "Everyone, today we are worshipping Xue Gong with you. Soldier dodge! ”
The gate was re-opened to the way in and out, and the soldier who was bound by his own whip thought to himself: His basket is too big this time, can he still leave it for his head? Thinking of this, he was simply scared to death, so he fell to the ground with a bang.
