When Di Qing saw Ouyang Xiu coming in, he wanted to see him, but he was sick and weak. Seeing this, Ouyang Xiu hurriedly hugged his shoulder and comforted him, "You don't need to get up, the old man just came to see Master Di." The imperial doctor walked to Di Qing's bed, and he took a closer look at Di Qing's face. Seeing that Di Qing's face was dull, he looked at the tongue coating again. After asking about the condition, he stretched out three fingers and put three inches of "inch ruler" under Di Qing's wrist. The imperial doctor closed his eyes and pondered, and the people in the room did not dare to make a sound. When the imperial doctor passed the pulse, he saw that he took out a pen and dipped it in ink, wrote something on the booklet, and then showed it to Ouyang Xiu after writing. Ouyang Xiu nodded, the imperial doctor took the booklet, took another piece of paper, copied a prescription and handed it to Master Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu handed it to Wang Bian, and Wang Bian said to Bao Zheng, Father-in-law, I'll go grab the medicine. He turned and walked out of the room. When he walked out of the door, the king felt sour: think about Di Qing, who has no relatives around him, and has been framed and impeached, his wife and daughter are not around, and the housekeeper has disappeared in the fire. This sick man didn't even have anyone around to take care of him.

Seeing that the imperial doctor had left the king and grabbed the medicine and left, Di Qing asked, "Lord Ouyang shouldn't just bring the imperial doctor to see a doctor below." Ouyang Xiu glanced at Bao Zheng in the room. Bao Zheng saw that Ouyang Xiu seemed to have private words to talk to Di Qing, and was about to say goodbye to Di Qing and said, "It doesn't hurt Lord Ouyang to just say it. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "To be honest, I came this time to bring bad news to Master Di. Di Qing smiled bitterly: "Lord Ouyang doesn't say that I can guess a few points." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Some rumors in the palace today: now that the emperor has no children, the army has a very high demand for Lord Di. After he finished speaking, he looked at Di Qing and saw Di Qing looking up at the sky, his face bloodless.

After a long time, Di Qing said: "Lord Ouyang, I want me Di Qing to endure humiliation, if the saints don't believe me today, I can only die." ”

Ouyang Xiu continued: "Since Master Bao is also here, I don't know if I should say it. Di Qing closed his eyes gently, and he heard Ouyang say: "Things are not so pessimistic, I advise Master Di to abandon his official position and leave the capital." ”

Di Qing sighed: "Lord Ouyang, I don't mind if I don't want to be an official or not, but I am unwilling to go away with such grievances." After a short silence in the room, Ouyang Xiu said, "Master Di, please forgive the old minister for the crime of impeachment." After speaking, he gave Di Qing a salute. Di Qing struggled to sit up, and Ouyang Xiu said, "I have prepared a recital, and I ask the Holy Admiral to demote Lord Di." ”

Bao Zheng had been listening to Ouyang Xiu and Di Qing talking with his hands behind his back, and he would ask Ouyang Xiu, "Lord Ouyang, why is this?" Ouyang Xiu said: "Staying in the capital will lose this life sooner or later, I will do the matter of impeaching Lord Di Qing, at least I can consider the emperor's holy will and keep Lord Di safe to the greatest extent." ”

Bao Zheng nodded, and seeing that Di Qing didn't speak, he said, "There is Lord Lao Ouyang." ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly: "I am also entrusted by others to return a favor, if Lord Di can be built according to the old minister, at least he can see this person and leave the capital to enjoy ten thousand years in peace." ”

Bao Zheng heard that Ouyang Xiu had something to say, and Di Qing also turned his head to look at Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu explained: "When the old man was young, he messed up the mandarin duck score and gave a Liang girl to Su Shi, who knew that there was no news later, and Su Shi also got married, and we all forgot about it." As soon as Di Qing heard Liang, he coughed excitedly, and Bao Zheng hurriedly approached and patted him to signal him to calm down. After Di Qing coughed for a while and drank some water, Ouyang Xiu continued: "Before Chongyang, the woman came to the door, but instead of looking for Su Shi, she blamed the old man. He laughed dryly twice after saying that. So far, the old man owes her a favor, and recently the woman came again, saying that Master Di has a relationship with her family, and let the old man rescue Lord Di, even if he pays off the favor. The old man went to see the saint just now, and it happened that someone impeached Master Di for not being sick early, so the old man asked to come and see the authenticity, and informed him of the matter by the way. ”

Bao Zheng and Di Qing glanced at each other, and Bao Zheng asked, "Does Lord Ouyang know the origin of this woman and Lord Di?" Ouyang Xiu shook his head, seeing that he didn't seem to know, Bao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Ouyang Xiu said again: "This woman conveyed the message to Master Di, the day Lord Di leaves the capital safely, it is the time when he meets you. ”

Di Qing didn't say anything more, looking forward to getting better as soon as possible, and seeing his daughter became his greatest wish.

The weather is getting cooler day by day, and Di Qing's body has improved a lot, but he still looks very weak. Di Qing, who was already white, could hardly imagine at first glance that he was a military general on the battlefield. Wang was on an errand under Master Bao, and he had nothing specific to do, so he had more time to visit Di Qing.

Di Qing consciously felt a little spirited, and began to teach Wang Bian the art of war, Wang Bian was like a self-master, even Wang Bian himself was very surprised, Di Qing taught more and more happy, and Wang Bian also learned more and more happy. When it comes to the formation, the king is also the head of the way, so time passes quickly.

During this time, Ouyang Xiu played three times in succession, and the imperial court said: "Di Qing's prestige in the army is too high, and he is afraid that he will fall into trouble for the country because of this." If you want to beg and dismiss the cardinals, you can leave a state, not only to protect the youth, but also to eliminate the trouble of the country." In the end, Emperor Renzong gave Di Qing the title of prime minister, and Mingsheng secretly descended from Zhichen Prefecture.

This day is already a light snow season, walking on the street with the wind mixed with the hail rain hitting people's faces, the bustling Bianjing City is also a pedestrian is gradually decreasing, Wang next to the medicine from the pharmacy to grab the medicine, quickly walk back to Di Qing Mansion. The matter of grabbing medicine for Di Qing was done by Wang Bian himself, and the imperial doctor said that Di Qing had a recurrence of an old injury, and there was already an internal injury and then rushed to attack the heart. Wang Fang thought to himself that it was fortunate that Di Qing was not as stingy as Zhou Yu, otherwise he would have vomited blood. Naturally, he was more careful about grabbing medicine for Di Qing personally: first, it was more reassuring to grab the medicine by himself, and secondly, Di Qing gave jade to Wang Bei, and he no longer took Wang Bei as an outsider. Especially today, you should grab more medicine for use on the road.

Wang entered the house directly to the living room, and there were several people sitting in the hall, Di Qing, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi and Yuan Ze. Seeing the king coming back, Di Qing beckoned the king to sit down by the fire. A banquet was set up on the table, and these people came to see Di Qing off.

Wang Anshi's resignation was approved, and he was no longer appointed as the Qunmu Division, but was reappointed as the judge of the Third Division, and he was still an official in Beijing, but Wang Anshi had no choice but to take office. During the banquet, he talked about some things in the court, and Wang listened to what they said before he knew that in order to let Di Qing know that Bao Zheng of Chenzhou was also a good word in front of the saint, after all, Bao Zheng of Chenzhou put grain and made a good network there. can finally take care of Di Qing, and Di Qing is grateful.

Wang Ben was naturally reluctant to Di Qing, Bao Zheng said to Wang Anshi: "Pang Er and Di Qing have learned some strategy and tactics, and they have also improved" Wang Anshi said: "I also heard that Pang Er is learning military strategy from Di Qing, but I don't know what the results are?" After speaking, he looked at the king.

The king replied: "The child is learning "The Art of War" and "Three Strategies" with Master Di."

Wang Anshi asked again: "Can you learn the formation?" The king recited the mantra of the formation: "One word long snake array, two dragons out of the water array; Heaven and Earth Three Talent Array, Four Doors Doudi Array, Five Tigers and Sheep Array, Six Ding Liujia Array, Seven Star Beidou Array, Eight Gate Golden Lock Array, Nine Character Chain Array, Ten Ambush Array. He also briefly explained that these formation kings had already been kept in mind. Wang Anshi nodded, Wang Bian has made rapid progress in the past few months, he didn't expect it, the eldest son is good at literature, Wang Bian is good at martial arts, each has his own strengths, and he is at ease.

Bao Zheng said: "Lord Wang, I have something to arrange for the king, do you mind?" ”

Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "What Master Bao said about foreign words, and what he said about merit and selfishness, should be arranged by Master Bao." ”

While drinking, a few people chatted with Bao Zheng and said: "Di Qing's journey is difficult and dangerous, and staying in the capital is also a trick, I want to send Wang next to escort Master Di all the way, and stay with Lord Di for the time being, so that I can **." ”

Di Qing and Wang were very happy to hear that Lord Bao had such an arrangement, and heard Bao Zheng say: "The old man can't be as reckless as Lord Ouyang, if Lord Di finds his daughter, he must inform the old man that the old man can marry, can this Lord Wang agree?" ”

Wang Anshi was stunned: "I've never heard of Di Qing's daughter, but since Master Bao said it, this is of course good for becoming a son and daughter's family." Wang Blushed when he listened to it, even he was surprised, in his previous life, he lived for more than 30 years and was also in love, how could he blush after going back hundreds of years?

Yuan Ze listened and asked, "Daddy, how about Rou'er?" Di Qing asked, "Who is Rou'er, could it be that there was a marriage match next to the king?" ”

After he reminded Wang Anshi and Wang Pan to think about it, Wang Anshi said: "Rou'er was originally a girl in this house, and Wang Bian served Wang Bian before he recovered from his serious illness. originally thought that Wang Bi would not be able to recover from his illness, so he would be a daughter-in-law directly in the future. Who knows what this kid is like now? ”

Bao Zheng said: "What's so difficult about this, let Lord Wang accept it." Yuan Ze answered: "Daddy refuses, his mother has already prepared for him to fill the house, he is willing, let alone Rou'er." Bao Zheng and Di Qing laughed, Wang wanted to laugh and felt inappropriate, Bao Zheng said: "It turns out that in the past, Lord Wang was afraid of being afraid and refused to fill the house. ”

Wang Anshi waved his hand and smiled: "Two adults, look at it, how easy it is to be an official, but don't say that people are terrible, just say that this is such a thing in the court, how can you be in the mood to fill the house again." Di Qing also nodded.

Bao Zheng thought of it and said: "Then they will be concubines in the future, anyway, they need someone to take care of them on the road, so take Rou'er with them." I don't know what Master Di thinks. ”

Di Qing saw that the main room was still his daughter, anyway, other people's affairs were decided first, although Rou'er was a girl, but she couldn't deceive people, so she said that it was okay.

Wang Bi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, daddy, let's find a good family for Rou'er." Everyone laughed and said: "Is it Wang Bian's character that follows Wang Anshi, or is Wang Bian's deep love for the moon." ”

The king complained in his heart, but in fact, there were two reasons. I'm always insecure and worried about what will happen again. Besides, there is an old saying: "If you want to have a bad night, you have to eat and hold on." If you want to be unhappy for the rest of your life, marry two wives. ”。 Rou'er has a good personality, it doesn't matter if she is a girl or not; This Liang Yuexia's temperament, the king didn't understand it at all, and she could understand it if she thought about it in front of her, let alone take a concubine before marrying a relative.

After the banquet was dismissed, the king should go back to Wang Anshi's mansion and Bao Zheng's mansion, bid farewell to the ladies on both sides, and go to pack up his own things.

This is about to leave the capital, can he see Liang Yuexia, this trip may not be smooth, because after all, someone wants Di Qing's life.
