Chapter XVIII: The Minister of Holy Foreplay

He clearly referred to Di Qing when he said this, but secretly even Bao Zheng Wang Anshi brought it in, the speaker had a heart, and it was so piercing to hear. Everyone looked at Wang Anshi, but saw that his face was still not changing. seemed to disdain Wang Yaochen's words; And Bao Zheng's face is usually dark, and everyone is used to seeing a serious look. Di Qing, usually because he is a military general, and he has a tattoo on his forehead, he feels that he is more frustrating than others, so even if he becomes a privy envoy, he is humble and cautious. This will want to refute, he is a military general, and he is in a hurry to cut people, so let him sit in the well-behaved Wen Zou Zou's bickering mouth is naturally not funny, and his usually white face is already red.

Wang also glanced at the three of them, and he glanced at Emperor Renzong and Empress Cao. Queen Cao is not the mother of the country, no matter how she laughs in the hall, she always sits upright, and the hanging pearl chain on the crown of the four phoenixes of the Nine Dragons does not move at all, looking like a wax statue from a distance. Renzong leaned slightly sideways, his half-smiling eyes sweeping over everyone.

Wang Bi made up his mind in his heart, if he was really a fourteen-year-old child, I am afraid he would not be able to understand the meaning. But who is next to the king? In the past 30 years, before the crossing happened, he almost traveled all over the country, from the mixed society in his teens to his career, and then experienced ups and downs, and the people he came into contact with were even more diverse. Maybe he is sleek, but he has never been afraid of anyone, whether it is the boss of the rivers and lakes or the top management of the workplace, and he has never been afraid of any scene. He decided that popularity is made by mixing, fame is made by fighting, and the world is made by fighting.

The arrogance hidden in the heart, the resilience and the cynicism of the rivers and lakes burst out from the most primitive body at this moment. No one in his life is so disrespectful to him, let alone that he is now a "dead man".

Wang Bian picked up the wine cup on the table, walked to Wang Yaochen, and the hall was quiet again, and his eyes were focused on Wang Bian, not knowing what this child was going to do. Wang Anshi, who was still smiling just now, was a little nervous, after all, this was the royal driver here, and just about to stop it, Bao Zheng pulled down the sleeves of his wide robe and whispered, "Something is always there." ”

Wang Bei ignored the gazes of others, he walked up to Wang Yaochen, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Wang, for not caring about my offense just now. ”

Wang Yaochen waved his hand and said, "You are a child, how can I care about you......"

Wang Bian continued: "Adults are famous for their studies, and in fact, even I, a child, know the prestige of adults. ”

Wang Yaochen stroked his beard and pursed his mouth. While being proud, I thought to myself: This king is not as smart as others say. But he said: "That's all false names, it's not as practical as your three high-ranking people." ”

Some of the people laughed secretly, and some of them looked down on Wang Yaochen. The children are so respectful, and Lord Wang is still quick to speak. How do they know that what the king is waiting for is Wang Yaochen's forgetfulness and cheapness, and when they see him say this, they are in the middle of it.

So he said loudly: "I have admired my lord for a long time, if my lord does not dislike it, I am willing to form a friendship with Lord Wang, and in the future, mine will be Lord Wang's, and I will never regret it." The Holy Majesty and the ministers are here to testify. ”

Some of the officials here understand and some don't, and those who understand first laugh first. Even Renzong was stunned for a moment, just now he was thinking that Lord Wang was so stingy and worried about a child. Then he understood what the king meant, and laughed and said.

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing, it just so happens that you all have the surname Wang. Lord Wang can also be more practical. ”

Wang Yaochen hurriedly walked to the hall: "Holy Lord, you can't do it."

Bao Zheng learned what Wang Yaochen said about Di Qing just now, and asked: "Is Lord Wang disobeying the holy will?" ”

Wang Yaochen knelt down, his face was purple and blue, and his mouth said, "The minister doesn't dare." Tilting his head to look at Zhao Zongshi secretly, Zhao Zongshi was angry and funny. Deliberately turned his head away from looking at him. Wang looked at Han Qi again. Han Qi didn't look at him either.

was embarrassed, Sima Guang said: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, the saint will not listen to it, today's chrysanthemum banquet saint works hard to reward everyone, and what I just said can't make everyone happy." ”

Seeing that someone had broken the siege, Renzong nodded: "What Sima Aiqing said is very true, being an official is the most important thing to be self-respecting, and colleagues also need to cooperate. I think everyone works weekdays, so let's relax today, Wang Aiqing is flat. ”

Only then did Wang Yaochen get up and return to his seat stupidly.

Renzong then beckoned "The king is near". After examining it up and down, Renzong said: "You kid is very naughty, even if Lord Wang doesn't care, you can't be unreasonable to the ministers of the court." He glanced at Wang Yaochen as he spoke. Wang Yaochen was also talking about himself in these words, bowing his head and being silent.

Renzong continued: "I heard that you had some thoughts about the government-run Jiaozi shop the day before yesterday? The king replied, "A little shallow." ”

Renzong nodded and said, "Okay, since you rushed into the minister so much just now, I will punish you now, you are not allowed to eat, and before the end of the chrysanthemum feast, write down your Bo Jian in three thousand words." ”

The king was embarrassed, it was nothing to let him write, but it was difficult to let him write 3,000 words. He looked back at the crowd, most of them couldn't hear clearly, Bao Zheng still didn't care, and Wang Anshi's expression was very tangled.

Wang was a little anxious, and blurted out, "Your Majesty, you just kill me." ”

Renzong was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Wang said, "I've grown so big that I haven't even written 3,000 words in one piece." ”

Renzong wanted to laugh when he looked at this child, and he frightened, "Aren't you afraid that I will really give you death?" ”

Wang said simply: "I can't write so many words, let me write I will die of sorrow." It's better to have a simple one. Thinking that this time was already worth it, besides, his intuition told him that Renzong would not kill people easily at today's feast, at most, he would beat him a few boards.

Unexpectedly, Renzong actually compromised and said: "Okay, I only let you write 300 words, if you write it, you will be a fifth-class; If you can write 500 words, it will be considered a third class, how about it? ”

Wang Bi didn't know what Renzong meant by the third and fifth grades, anyway, three or five hundred words were still written, so he nodded.

Renzong said, "Come on, prepare pen and paper." ”

After a while, the eunuchs carried out a low desk and placed it under the steps in front of Renzong; He brought out a tray with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. Then he also brought a cushion to the king, and asked him to sit on the ground and face Renzong and began to write, and there was a little eunuch standing next to him to sharpen the ink.

Wang Bi picked up the brush and wrote on the paper, the suggestion was what he said, let him write a three-thousand-word essay, he couldn't write, but it was not a big problem to write down his thoughts.

When the ministers drank the eighth cup of wine, the king had already written, and the little eunuch who polished the ink took it and handed it to Emperor Renzong, who frowned when he saw it. Looking at this article written by Wang Bian, Renzong had to frown. The whole article is not only three or five hundred words, and it is said that it has passed Renzong's requirements. But some of the handwriting looks so awkward. For example, this sentence "Next to the king of cloth, it is recommended that the imperial court open a public Jiaozi Museum, and the imperial court will print a fixed face value to brush paper money, and open Jiaozi shops in various parts of the private sector to exchange copper coins, iron coins and tin coins in private circulation, etc., which can standardize the currency and recycle metals." ”

Renzong secretly thought, this cloth is probably "cloth" and the word "open" is very obscure, and this specification is probably a headache for Renzong to see "standard". He has seen simplified characters, which is already Wang Bi's usual copying, some words try to use traditional characters, but there are no or few copied words on weekdays, Wang Yan can only write simplified Chinese and will not write traditional Chinese.

Take that paragraph as an example, compare it with the correct traditional Chinese: "Next to the king of cloth, it is recommended that the imperial court open a public jiaozi pavilion, and the imperial court will uniformly print and fix the value of the paper currency, and set up jiaozifu in various parts of the people, and exchange the copper currency, iron currency, and tin currency in circulation among the people, so as to regulate the currency and collect the gold." You can see the difference, no wonder Renzongzhi frowned.

This typo gave Renzong a headache to read, but looking at the handwriting next to the king, it was different from the article. This is a book that is biased in italics, which is exactly what Renzong likes. What Wang wrote next to him was that the handwriting was stretched and flowing, and the font was smooth and neat. If you don't look at the content and only look at the handwriting from a distance, Renzong has already given a high score of seven or eight points in his heart.

It is said that the calligraphy next to the king is due to his original hobby of calligraphy, since then he has collected antiques and has been exposed to some calligraphy and painting, and likes to copy a few strokes when he has nothing to do. When Wang Bi inadvertently became Wang Anshi's second son who had recovered from dementia, his brother Yuan Ze went to see him and saw that he suddenly could write, which caused Yuan Ze to be amazed. After studying together, they were forced by Yuan Ze to copy "Chunhua Pavilion Post".

This "Chunhua Pavilion Post" is after Song Taizong ascended the throne, and ordered the king of the book to organize and engrave a legal post. The sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninetieth volumes of this Dharma are calligraphy works by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. Wang Fang's favorite is, of course, copying the works of the "two kings", especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. He also occasionally thinks that if he returns to the modern era that day, he can still make imitations to make some silver, but he knows that today's usual homework has come in handy.

Renzong liked this word, but he couldn't understand it, and he wondered if he sent it to the minister, he would definitely make a joke, not to mention that he was the king of a country, how could he be so knowledgeable that he couldn't understand what a child wrote. So he said: "Next to the king, I can see that you have worked hard, but some words are too easy to save trouble!" Here you recite it to the ministers. ”

How smart the king was, he looked at Renzong's frowning and thought that there was something wrong in those places just now. Seeing Renzong frowning and nodding for a while, he looked at it from far or near, and he understood a little in his heart. secretly laughed at the ancients more than 900 years ago, how could they understand today's simplified characters, and some of the same words disagreed.

The little eunuch then said that he had written the manuscript paper and handed it to the king, who recited it aloud, and stood respectfully after reading. Seeing that the ministers listened carefully, some nodded after listening. Renzong asked: "I want to be sealed, what do you think of Wang Biqing's talent?" ”
