Chapter 14 Bao Zheng's recommendation
Wang Bi originally wanted to tell Bao Zheng about the bank's practice, but then he thought that this was the Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for the court to pay interest to the people who deposited, and they couldn't understand the loan, so they simply made a small change in the current rules first.
Bao Zheng listened to him and said, "Go and rest, I will discuss it with your father in detail." ”
As he walked, the king thought, "What do you mean by this, father-in-law, you can rest and go??? Forget it, let them be deep, and they are really tired. But he didn't want to go back to Bao Zheng's mansion room, went to say goodnight to his stepmother, turned out in Bao Zheng's mansion, walked to Wang Anshi's mansion, and when the family saw him come back, it was already dark, so he took this lantern to guide the way, he first went to Mrs. Wu's to say goodnight, and then returned to his original courtyard, which was planned every day, just like he lived here every day.
He sat on the corridor in front of the door of the room, leaning on the pillars of the corridor, looking up at the moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the past ten days, more and more than half-bent, the air was dry and refreshing, slightly cool, it had been these two months in a flash, if it wasn't for the incident today, the person who was dressed as a man, he might still be immersed in surprises, but the person who directly saw what he was thinking in his heart was just like Shen Kuo described. He couldn't help but think of the woman he had when he had an accident, did she also cross over like him?
The courtyard door creaked open, Rou'er walked in, and she went to Madame's room when Wang was not waiting for her in the past few days, and when she rested at night, she was with Ping'er and a few of them. lest thou be afraid in this court. was talking to a few other girls, the family went to tell him that the second son was resting here tonight, hurried over, pushed the door and saw the king sitting in front of the door in the moonlight, his heart was beating, the figure had not been seen for a few days and seemed to be much stronger, how did she know that the thirteenth and fourteenth is when boys enter puberty, and it is the period when they develop the fastest.
Wang Bi saw Rou'er standing in front of him with a blushing heart beating, knowing Rou'er's thoughts, seeing that this girl was simple, he wanted to persuade Mrs. Wu to find someone for Rou'er as soon as possible, and she was about to reach the age of marriage. What's more, if you can't go back, you can't destroy your future because of a small loss. If I can go back, I can't hurt this little girl who is not yet an adult.
Thinking of this, he said to Rou'er, you go back to your room to rest. I'll call you for something. Rou'er replied and turned and walked away.
Wang saw Rou'er walking away, and continued to think about his own thoughts, took out the black crystal and looked at it, but the handsome face of the woman dressed as a man in Renhelou flashed in his mind.
The most panicked person at this time was Zhao Zongshi, who was pacing back and forth in the room. A man dressed in a black night suit jumped from the eaves and pushed the door into the house without making a pass. Zhao Zongshi saw him coming and looked at him.
The man in black said, "Grandpa, I have already inquired, next to the righteous son Wang of Bao Zheng, who captured Zhao Zongshi today, Liang Yi's detention place and Song Wenjian's storage place have also been investigated. ”
Zhao Zongshi said, "Well done, it's this kid again, what else did you find?" ”
The man returned, "This son has a very close relationship with Di Qing, and he learned the martial arts of horseback riding and archery under Di Qing. ”
Zhao Zongshi pondered for a moment, and a vicious plan gradually formed in his heart. "Leng Qing, you send a letter to Liang Yi and ask him to hold on until the Double Ninth Festival, and you need to rescue Liang Yi on that day; Take back the Songwen Sword, don't give it to me, remember to put it on Di Qing's Mansion. ”
After the man in black left, Zhao Zongshi sat on the chair, he sneered, Chongyang Day, the guards around Bao Zheng are all powerful, don't fight with you, that day the tiger left the mountain Kaifeng Mansion The defense was empty. On the day of the official start, not to mention that I have "Leng Qing", the number one killer in the capital who has been hidden for a long time.
To the north of Kaifeng Mansion and the surrounding yafus, there is a tall gatehouse. The gatehouse is heavily guarded by soldiers, but it is not uncommon for a group of people to walk through the heavily guarded tower and enter the Imperial City on the day the bell tower on the Imperial City rings. Some officials in Beijing have such a small pilgrimage every three days. These people wearing heads, wearing court clothes, leather belts around their waists, wearing court boots on their feet, and holding wat boards in their hands, entered from the gatehouse, bypassed the Daqing Hall and faced north, and walked into the Zichen Palace. Then stand on the ladder.
is still the old rule of worshipping the emperor and emperor, Renzong said as usual: If there is something to do, there is nothing to do and retreat from the dynasty. That being said, how can it be okay?
The privy envoy Han Qi suggested that the imperial court build a granary of Guanghui, and the Emperor Renzong looked at it and said: "The ownerless fields are recruited to be rented by peasant households, and the annual rent paid by the peasant households from the summer tax is used to provide for the old, infirm or unsupported orphans in the city. That's a good thing. After speaking, he looked at Bao Zheng and said: "This matter is in charge of your three divisions, and you are responsible for the special management of Guanghui Warehouse, and at the end of each year, the income and expenditure of Guanghui Warehouse will be reported to the three divisions.
Bao Zheng handed over the order, and Emperor Renzong glanced at it and said: "This matter is very important, and Lord Bao will discuss it in detail in the future." Then he approved some of the statues, what are the big things like: ordering Di Qing, banning the opening of the Heshi market in the border area of Shaanxi, and re-determining the checkpoints and outposts for inspection. Small things such as some officials dispatching and asking the emperor to carry out the harvesting ceremony in the Guanjia Palace.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Renzong took a short rest in the Wende Hall and then got up and came to the vertical arch shop. This is the place where Renzong and his close ministers discuss the government, and the atmosphere is naturally much more relaxed than in the main hall, and Renzong sits on several adults.
Speaking of Bao Zheng's recital, Renzong said: "Bao Daren's performance is indeed an important thing, since Li Shun made a rebellion and stopped minting coins for a period of time, the people have little money, and they take their friends as the market, and there are many cheats and lawsuits. Bao Daren's performance of all Aiqing can have objections. ”
Han Qi said: "Master Bao is in charge of the three divisions, and the matter of currency is more thoughtful than that of our ministers, and I also think this matter is a good thing." Seeing Han Qi say this, everyone also nodded.
Renzong said: "That is the case, Lord Bao began to prepare, but I see that Lord Bao has an annotation, this suggestion is proposed by a teenager, what kind of talent? Be Rewarded"
Bao Zheng saw Renzong's support, so he said, "This young man is smart, I like him very much, so I accepted him as a righteous son." As for his proposal, the Holy One does not need to reward him, and I can avoid suspicion. ”
Zhao Zongshi stood up and said to the emperor: "Father, the son has something to say. ”
Renzong looked at this Zhao Zongshi, this young man who was named the prince, Renzong and the queen called him "thirteen". Because the prince does not live much, Thirteen has been adopted by Renzong and the queen since he was a child, and most of the time he has been in the palace, but every time Renzong has a prince, Thirteen will be sent out of the palace, but this does not prevent Renzong from loving Thirteen, so he asked: "What does Thirteen have to say"
Thirteen said unhurriedly: "Master Bao is not good. People say that they are virtuous and do not avoid relatives, I have also seen this child, and he is indeed a genius. ”
"Oh?" Renzong came to be interested, and saw that the thirteen all praised this person. Zhao Zongshi continued: "My father doesn't know, this kid must be literary and talented, and he must be brave and brave to rescue Ouyang Xiu's student who once caught fire in the mansion, and Su Shi, the champion of the undergraduate palace test. He turned his face and asked Ouyang Xiu, "Does Lord Ouyang know who this person is?" ”
When Renzong heard this, he was even more interested: "There is such a talent, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”
Zhao Zongshi continued: "My lord, this child is very good, his biological father and father-in-law are all people in the court. ”
Renzong asked Bao Zheng: "Is there such a thing?" Which child is this, I want to see it?"
Bao Zheng was just about to speak, but was picked up by Zhao Zongshi, and still said unhurriedly. "The biological father of this child is Lord Wang Anshi, and his father-in-law is Lord Bao Zheng.
After saying this, Han Qi pursed his lips, although he and Di Qing were colleagues in the Privy Council, they looked down on Di Qing in their hearts. Ouyang Xiu was confused, and he didn't know why Zhao Zongshi praised him; Bao Zhengcai didn't think about why Zhao Zongshi said that; Di Qing didn't know what Zhao Zongshi was going to do, so he had to continue listening.
Renzong saw that so many people knew about the king, so he asked Zhao Zongshi, "Listen to what you said, I did mean to summon me, but after all, children are not allowed to make noise in the court." ”
Wang Anshi said that he heard Zhao Zongshi praise Wang Fang so much, but he was worried that Wang Fang had never seen the market, if he found the palace and said the wrong thing, he hurriedly played: "Your Majesty, the dog Wang is only fourteen years old, he has been weak since he was a child, he can't study, and his etiquette for dealing with people is also rude. It's just a little clever, for fear of disturbing Long Yan. ”
Zhao Zongshi replied: "The saint doesn't know, the minister and the others went to the banquet in Lord Bao's mansion, and the child's couplet shocked the audience. This couplet: one year old, two springs, two Augusts, two springs and autumns in the world...... Even Lord Ouyang's students were stumped."
As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Xiu began to be unhappy; Di Qing already knew what Zhao Zongshi was going to do, but he didn't dare to say it.
Renzong nodded: "It's really difficult"
Zhao Zongshi said: "The king next to the next couplet: "Conquer Liao and destroy the three courtiers of Xia, and the temple is majestic on all sides." ”
Renzong nodded, "That's right, it's neat, but I only became a veteran of the three dynasties in the past, and it seems that the future life can be described as a lot of ambition." Zhao Zongshi originally wanted to point the signs at Di Qing, but when he suddenly saw Han Qi, he thought that his two official brigades were similar, so he didn't say much about it, and proposed: "If the court is inconvenient, the day after tomorrow Chongyang will appreciate the chrysanthemum, and the father will invite this person when he entertains the ministers, so that the father can see it." ”
Renzong was overjoyed, "Okay, this year, I will enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet in the palace and enjoy it with all the secretaries, and the officials can bring their heirs, let me see these offspring." In the future, it will also be my pillar. ”
Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi looked at each other when they saw that Renzong nodded and agreed, and when they came out of the palace, Wang Anshi's face was embarrassed, but Bao Zheng said with a big grin: "Don't worry, the princess feast is not just a teenager next to him, besides, I think this kid has a future, maybe he will really stand out." ”
Wang Anshi smiled, and said in his heart If you are not optimistic, how can you accept him as a righteous son?
