Zhao Zongshi saw that the impeachment of Di Qing was already difficult to convince Renzong, and once this matter was shelved, this period of effort would be in vain. Several times it was the king who made trouble, and this fourteen-year-old child was a big thing for him at a young age, and he must not raise a tiger for trouble.

Some people agree with Zhao Zongshi's words, some people are puzzled, and of course some people hear the flavor. Wang Bi understood that Zhao Zongshi's words were directed at him. He repeatedly wondered why Zhao Zongshi did this, in history, Yingzong was a normal succession. In particular, he couldn't understand why Yingzong wanted to frame Di Qing.

While everyone was hesitating, Wang Anshi stood up and said, "Saint: The minister has a few words to say about ominous matters. Lord Di Qing was framed for all to see, the lost prisoner in Kaifeng Mansion happened to be yesterday, if the saint did not summon the king to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet yesterday, naturally there would be no canonization; There was a fire near Lord Di Qing's mansion and the minister's mansion, not to mention unknown, if it wasn't for the fact that Juzi was deposed by the saint, how could he set fire to the shop? If Lord Di's mansion was really inhabited by the murderous demon Zhu Wen, it should have been burned a long time ago, and it was a good thing that it was burned, not to mention that the mansion where the minister lived was arranged by the imperial court, and when it was arranged for Lord Di Qing to live, didn't he know that it was Zhu Wen who had lived? ”

Before Renzong could speak, Zhao Zongshi said, "Lord Wang, are you blaming the saint for this?" ”

Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "The minister doesn't dare to blame the saint, how can the saint take the coincidence seriously, and he wants to add the crime, which is unexcuseable?" ”

As soon as Wang Yaochen saw that things had taken a turn for the better, he turned to the king's side, and when he saw Wang Anshi saying this, he said: "Don't you know that Lord Wang Anshi wants to add to the crime, and he has no excuse? The first half of the sentence is: 'If there is no waste, how can you prosper?' 'What's it?'

Wang Anshi said: "As a privy deputy envoy, Lord Wang Yaochen does not ask about the border pass or the matter of leading troops in a war, is the battle of words all day long an auspicious omen for the imperial court?" ”

Wang Yaochen was choked there. Wang Anshi said to Renzong: "The minister's request: resign from the post of the group pastor, return to his hometown with his son, and hope that the saint will give permission." ”

Those who know Wang Anshi know that Wang Anshi broke out, and the reputation of this bad minister is not in vain. Renzong also frowned slightly, the minister who was summoned to the capital to be an official only after the six edicts, has always been very good as a herd envoy, and the work is well organized, and he has nothing to say about his ability, so he naturally does not want him to resign.

Renzong wanted to put the matter down, so he said, "What Lord Wang said is also true, and many things are coincidences. ”。

But I heard someone from the court say, "These things can be coincidental, but how can the matter of twins be considered a coincidence." ”

Wang Anshi also heard him say: "Born and raised in his parents, the minister resigns from his official position, returns to his hometown with his son, and hopes that the saint will give permission!" "It's still the same sentence of resignation. Renzong said in his heart: This Wang Anshi is here again, no matter what he says, he will definitely resign later. Seeing that the king shook his head, Renzong asked, "Next to the king, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhao Anshi stopped and said: "Father and emperor must not listen to this child's words, the king can speak well, and he must not be bewitched by him again." ”

Renzong is also suspicious at this moment, he looks at the king who stays in the main hall, he is not yet an adult, although he is precocious in mind, but after all, he is not an adult. But what the ministers said was true. Renzong had a hard time in his heart.

Bao Zheng suddenly asked: "Holy Lord, there is one thing that the minister doesn't understand. What is the relationship between this adoptive father and the adoptive son? ”

Zhao Zongshi was stunned when he heard this, could it be that Bao Zheng found something? Renzong and himself are in the relationship of adoptive father and son, so he said: "Master Bao is confused, and his adoptive father is like his own father." ”

Bao Zheng saw that Renzong also nodded, so he said to Zhao Zongshi: "It's not that I'm confused, it's that Grandpa Zhao is confused." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Bao Zheng said: "I once held a family banquet on August 15, and recognized an adopted son, who was next to the king, and Grandpa Zhao also went to the banquet at that time, did you forget?" ”

Zhao Zongshi said: "Naturally, I have never forgotten. ”

Bao Zheng said: "Even if the time of Wang next to the birth is not right, but he is already the son of my name, can this not count?" If it counts, it will break the ominous theory. There is still a saying in the people's homes, and this recognition is also chongxi"

Zhao Zongshi secretly thought that this Bao Zheng was enough to stir up, Bao Zheng and Zhao Zongshi looked at each other, Zhao Zongshi suddenly understood that if he said that he didn't count, then the identity of the emperor's adopted son would naturally not be recognized, without this hat, Wang Yaochen would soon confess himself. said: "Adoptive father and son are the same as biological father and son, this is true, but I remember that Master Bao said that day that he recognized the righteous son." It seems to be a difference in the literal sense."

Bao Zheng smiled and said: "Of course, it was not Grandpa Zhao who went, Lord Ouyang Xiu was also present, the old man said that he recognized the first son of the king, but did not recognize the second son, and this son alone is regarded as his own child." ”

Renzong turned his head to look at Ouyang Xiu, and Ouyang Xiu nodded. Looking at the king again, his lips were closed at this time, his eyes were moist, and he stood there holding back his strength as if he had something to say. Then he asked, "What do you say to the king?"

Wang was moved when he saw Wang Anshi so reluctant for the first time, and he was even more excited when he saw Bao Zheng say this. The king's voice choked and said: "Although I am young, I also know the world, Master Di is a hero in my heart, fighting for the country, and I should worship it." But it cannot be compared with the worship of the Holy One. ”

He continued: "The emperor governs the country with benevolence and virtue, not only does not kill ministers, but also tolerates the common people, and when encountering difficult cases, try to be light-hearted. The emperor did not care about the suffering of the common people, nor did he discuss with the ministers the great plan of governing the country and securing the country. The examiners thought that Su Zhe was making something out of nothing and maliciously slandering, but the emperor said: "The establishment of the imperial examination was originally to welcome those who dare to speak out." Su Zhe is a petty official, who dares to speak so bluntly, and he should be particularly famous. ’”

Everyone nodded, and Wang continued, "There is another thing, there is a scholar in Sichuan who dedicated poems to Chengdu Taishou, advocating 'burn the Broken Sword Gate to the Pavilion, Chengdu is not a mess'." Chengdu Taishou thought this was a blatant instigation of rebellion and sent him to the capital. But the emperor said: 'This is Lao Xiucai who is anxious to be an official and write a poem to vent his anger, how can he punish the crime?' It's better to give him an official.'" He was appointed to join the army as a household. The emperor is like this, how can a courtier have a heart of disobedience, Lord Di Qing's matter must have been framed, and the saint will definitely find out the truth. Since ancient times, the only emperor who can become a benevolent emperor is my great Song Dynasty saint. ”

The sincerity of what the king said, everyone listened to it and was moved, Renzong was even more amazed, seeing that everyone was quiet, Renzong said, "Everyone doesn't know: twins: one breast and two sons, "Warring States Policy" said: The similarity of husband and twins is only known by his mother; Those who have similar interests and disadvantages are only known to the wise. The interests of the present principality are as similar as the similarities of the twins. If you can do it in its way, then the Lord will be safe; If there is no way, the lord will be humbled and in danger. It can be seen that the birthday is not a problem, the question is whether it can be used in its own way. ”

The ministers said in unison: "The emperor declares." ”

The views were unified, and Renzong continued, "Now the Western Xia and the Liao State are all adjacent to our country, not to mention the Liao State and the Tufan Tribes, let's just say that the Western Xia has always been a thief and wants to attack my Great Song Dynasty, everyone thinks about how many generals we have lost to Li Yuanhao only with a discordant strategy? . Renzong sighed. Whether Di Qing was framed or not will continue to be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for investigation. ”

Everyone who walked out of the main hall was in a heavy mood, and no one benefited from this court battle. But is that really the end of it?

In the next few days, Wang Bi was depressed, Liang Yuexia seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news at all. The only surprise was that he always accidentally knew something he didn't know before, but it was just a chance inspiration, and he felt that it had something to do with his black crystal stone. But he couldn't find the gist of it, not to mention that the things he knew by chance were all things that had happened.

Di Qing fell ill, very sick. Probably angry and bent, plus missing her daughter. The king went into the Di Mansion to visit, and the family members were busy repairing the burned courtyard, and when they saw that it was the king, they did not need to inform him to enter and leave freely.

Wang Bian walked to the window of Di Qing's room, there was someone talking inside, Wang Bian didn't want to eavesdrop, but he heard the voice of Lord Bao, everyone pay attention. I vaguely heard Bao Zheng say, Xixia, Zhao Zongshi, and said: "It seems that Master Di and I think the same." It is rare for Master Di to consider the overall situation. When the matter of raising father and son is declared, it can be regarded as a tacit understanding. ”

I heard Di Qing's weak voice say again: "Please leave the matter of the little girl to Lord Bao." ”

Bao Zheng replied: "After all, there was a misunderstanding of the old man back then. However, if you find the moon, Lord Di must not recognize him, and now the ministers impeach the good and evil, if you know that the adult has a daughter who can read minds. It will be more troublesome. ”

The king knocked on the door, heard the door let him in, pushed open the door, and saw Bao Zheng sitting on a stool next to the bed, Di Qing lying on the bed, his face was thin, and his eye sockets were deep. I haven't seen him for a few days, and the iron-clad man has become such a sick person. Wang was distressed when he watched from the side, so he sat down on the edge of the bed and asked, "Master Di is so sick, I don't know if you have invited a famous doctor?" Shen Kuo has "Good Prescription", it would be nice if he was here"

Di Qing sighed, and Bao Zheng said: "Heart disease still needs heart medicine, next to you, you have to find Liang Yuexia as soon as possible." ”

Wang Bian agreed, and saw Di Qing take off the jade pendant from his body, put it in Wang Bian's hand, and said, "Take a closer look, can you wear such jade under the moon." ”

Wang next to the take, the jade is white and flawless, the shape is like a fan, there is a convex edge on one side, and there is a groove on the other side, just like the one under the moon, he took a closer look, one side of the jade is smooth, and the reverse side looks at the word "Wu".

Wang asked next to him: "The jade is exactly the same, but I don't know this word, should it be a "text" under the moon?" ”

Di Qing shook his head and said: "The piece of jade under the moon, the word behind it is the word "Yi" Wang thought about it, how can this "Wu" and "Yi" not be linked.

Di Qing's weak voice said: "This jade is a family heirloom, but the ancestors have training, and they want to find people who also have the same jade to marry." Wang Bi understood why Liang Yuexia also had such a piece, which should have been passed on to her by his mother. He handed the jade to Di Qing, but Di Qing waved his hand and said, "Today, in front of your father-in-law, Lord Bao, I will give you the jade, and you have to keep it well." Wang Bi understood a little bit in his heart when he heard this, and there was no reason to refuse, and then he looked at Di Qing's illness like this, he looked at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Take it, I will talk about it from your father's side." ”

The king took the jade beside him, thanked Di Qing, and saw that Di Qing didn't say anything deeper, and his face was tired. He was about to say goodbye with Bao Zheng, and was about to leave, when the family came to report, Lord Ouyang Xiu brought the imperial doctor to visit Di Qing.

How could Lord Ouyang Xiu come with the imperial doctor? Could it be that the emperor didn't believe that Di Qing was sick, thinking that Di Qing deliberately claimed that he was sick and did not go to court with negative energy?
