- Longchang period, known as Mr. Wuling, is a scholar of heaven and man, and his writings are equal to others. concentrates on lecturing and is full of peach and plums, and has the grace of teaching to characters like Wen Yanbo. And he is indifferent to fame and fortune, for decades, many prime ministers have recommended him to the imperial court, but Mr. Wuling has repeatedly failed to summon him. This made his prestige also reach the peak of his life.

His disciples, and those who revered him, even hailed him as a living saint.

Now, under Zhao Zongshi's several invitations, he finally entered Beijing at the age of ninety. The old gentleman rode in a quaint carriage, with about 300 close disciples and more than 1,000 followers along the way. In front of him, there were nearly 1,000 princes, officials and scholars from Bianjing who came to greet them, and they could be said to be hugging each other from front to back, with great momentum and extreme prosperity.

Compared with the vigorous scene of Longchang's arrival in Beijing, Wang Anshi, who entered Beijing from the same direction, was silent. He and his wife Wu, with their children and two younger brothers, rode in two inconspicuous stagecoaches and slowly came from the official road. Wang Anshi has seven brothers, and the deceased is three, so he became the longest, and the widows and children of the deceased brothers are also supported by him.

The price of goods in the capital is expensive, and although the judges of the three divisions are considerable, Wang Anshi is still unable to support this large family. I had to leave my sick mother and relatives in Jiangning, and I was taken care of by my fourth brother An Guo and fifth brother An Shi. Only the sixth brother Wang Anli and the younger brother Wang Anshang, who were going to study in Bianjing, and their two sons Wang Yan and Wang Bi, and the second queen were with him.

At this moment, he was sitting intently in the car reading a book, while his wife Wu was bored looking at the scenery outside the window, or breathing fresh air. She was born in a scholarly family, and although she is not confused in her old age, she still has a good face and a plump figure...... Sex loves cleanliness. If there is no this last point, Wang Anshi is definitely a model husband in her eyes.

This era. Marriage is the most important thing. Like Wang Anshi, a world-famous talent, a handsome guy and a young man. is not lustful at all, never goes to places of lust, and does not raise concubines at home. Such a husband is definitely nowhere to find a lantern.

However, on the night of the candles in the cave room, Wu found that her husband had a rancid smell. At first, I didn't particularly care. She thought that her husband was overworked at the wedding and the secretion system was developed, which made her taste rancid. But after a while, I realized that this handsome guy is really sloppy, and if you don't force him, he can never wash his face, let alone take a shower.

Wang Anshi's temper is not very good, if you force him to be anxious, he will sleep in the study with a bed. One slept is a month or two. Especially after having a son, he is even more unscrupulous, and he can't wait to sleep in the study for the rest of his life. Don't bother yourself to read.

Wu finally couldn't help it. Find Wang Anshi's wife to complain: "Your baby son doesn't wash his face or brush his teeth all day long, and he is sloppy like a begging for food." Mother-in-law, how the hell did you teach? ”

Who knew that Wang Anshi's old lady smiled and replied: "My precious son, I can't teach well, how can I be on the gold list?" Now that he has become your husband, it's your business, and if you have the ability, you can teach him well! If you are not convinced, you let my grandson take the Dingjia exam, then you have the ability. ”

Wu was speechless, so he had to hide back in the house and cry. hated that her parents only took a fancy to Wang Anshi's character at that time, and didn't care about his habits. Thinking of living with such a sloppy person for the rest of her life, she felt like falling into a fire pit, worrying about Wang Anshi's personal hygiene and other trivial matters all day long. So much so that now she has become neurotic, but she has to wash and reuse all the bedding that Wang Anshi has slept on, and the life of husband and wife can be as little as possible, but the children are not less.

In the past 20 years of marriage, they have had two sons and three daughters, of which the eldest daughter married her uncle's family, and the second daughter died at an early age. This little lady is lively, intelligent, cunning, and delicate, and she is deeply loved by the couple.

"Mother, look, it's so lively outside." Wang Wei is only fourteen years old, and it is the most lively time, this is the first time she has entered Beijing with her parents, and she is curious about everything.

Wu thought that the children were making a fuss, but who knew that when they looked at it, it was really unprecedented.

"What's the event today?"

"No," said her eldest son, Wang Yan, who was only sixteen years old, rode over on horseback, and this young man resembled his father by eight points, except that his lips were thinner and his eyebrows were thinner. Especially when he is dressed in white, he is spotless, and he is a beautiful son, not as sloppy as his father. I saw him staring at the crowd in the distance and said coldly: "It's just a farce." ”

"How can you say that?" In the latter carriage, twenty-five-year-old Wang Anli also lifted the curtain, looked into the distance, and said: "Mr. Wuling is a scholar and a man admired by all people, so you should be careful of committing public anger." ”

Wang Fang didn't have much respect for this sixth uncle, who was nine years older than himself, and he thought he was too broad-minded: "Sixth uncle, this Longchang period is not good, I heard that he has brought a hundred volumes of his life's writings to the imperial court. Once published in the world, how can I still live in my new learning? ”

"A hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend...... Wang Anli thought for a while and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, right?" ”

Wang Yan was just about to sneer at each other, when he saw a horse galloping in the distance, he closed his mouth and sneered.

"Dare to ask, but is it the car of Lord Wang, the judge of the three divisions?" The knight, dressed in a strong suit with a shaved head, galloped closer, grabbed the reins of his horse, and asked.

"My father is exactly." Wang Yan nodded.

"That's great, my family and Master Sima are here to greet you!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hearing that Chen Ke and Sima Guang were coming, Wang Anshi, who didn't listen to anything outside the window, finally put down his books, dressed up, and got out of the car to meet the two.

"Jiefu, don't come unharmed." Sima Guang is two years older than Wang Anshi, one subject earlier, and the two have been friends for many years.

"Meet the prince in the evening." Although the Great Song Dynasty forbade worshipping the lord, Wang Anshi was the main examiner of his examination, so Chen Ke held the disciple ceremony to meet each other.

Wang Anshi has no spare children, and he admires the two people in front of him very much, the former is very knowledgeable and upright, and the latter is talented and capable, all of whom he recommends. Therefore, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand: "How can An Shi Hede, dare to work for the two to welcome him?" ”

"Jiefu is too modest." Sima Guang's old-fashioned face also showed a rare smile and said: "This is why you are deliberately low-key, if it is like Mr. Wuling, there will definitely be a scene of everyone welcoming you." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Anshi smiled, introduced Sima Guang and Chen Ke to his children, and after he saw the ceremony, he introduced his children to them, Wang Anli, Wang Anshang, Wang Yan and Wang Bei.

When Wang Yan was introduced, Sima Guang had long known that Wang Anshi was a son who had been smart since he was a child. At the age of thirteen, when he heard the Shaanxi soldiers talk about the situation in the Taohe area, he said: "The Great Song Dynasty here does not care, and if it falls into the hands of the enemy, the enemy will be uncontrollable." Before the coming-of-age ceremony, he wrote tens of thousands of words of strategy, and Chen Ke, who wrote the "Dictionary" at the age of fourteen, and called the two great prodigies of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now seeing that this son is handsome and really a watch among people, he can't help but love it and say: "This is your Qilin'er!" ”

"Those who are bold and reckless are very unsuccessful." Although Wang Anshi was very proud, he still had to pretend to be disdainful.

"Haha." Sima Guang laughed and said, "Don't pretend, I don't know what beauty is in my heart." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Anshi smiled awkwardly: "Let's go into the city." ”

So Wang Anshi no longer sat in a car, but rode a horse, riding side by side with Sima Guang, the two looked at each other, and looked back to see that they had distanced themselves from each other.

"Honestly." Sima Guang said softly: "I didn't expect you to come." ”

"If possible, I really don't want to go to Beijing at this time." Wang Anshi sighed in a low voice.

"Yes, there are many rights and wrongs in an eventful season." Sima Guang nodded and said, "If possible, I also want to stay away." ”

"You say," Wang Anshi's voice lowered, he looked back at Chen Ke who was talking to Wang Yan, and lowered his voice: "The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, why do they rely on the two of us?" ”

"You can afford to look down on us." Sima Guang said with a wry smile: "You can still say, after 20 years of cultivation, innovation and tens of thousands of words, you are already famous all over the world, and you are expected by everyone, and it is normal for people to target you." It's really incomprehensible that I'm an idle little sinner, but I am also favored by them. ”

"That's because they have vision, or they have the guidance of a master." Others don't know Sima Guang's ability, but Wang Anshi knows very well that his best friend is a sword hidden in a box, a pearl buried in the sand, and after all, it will be sharp and brilliant. It was because he was able to hold Sima Guang with Zhao Zongji, and he couldn't help but be impressed: "From this point of view, that one is not as simple as imagined. ”

"Why did you accept the appointment before you answered me," Sima Guang asked, "I thought you would still be stubborn." ”

"Alas......" Wang Anshi sighed lightly, touched his flabby thighs and said: "Forty is not confused in the blink of an eye, and if you don't go out of the mountain, your lifelong ambitions can only be in vain." ”

"Do you know that when this summons comes, you will be seen as siding with him?" Sima Guang sighed faintly: "I can't help it, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, but you can wait for it to be clearer, anyway, no matter who goes up and wants to spread the great cause, they have to use you." ”

Wang Anshi was silent, before entering Beijing this time, he had indeed struggled for a long time. Zhang Dian and Wang Yan repeatedly persuaded them, and they agreed that if Zhao Zongshi ascended to the pole, then his ambitions could only come to naught. Because firstly, Zhao Zongshi is not the master of endeavor, and secondly, he must rely on those heroes who helped him ascend to the throne, such as Han Qi, Wang Gongchen, Liu Chang and others, even if he Wang Anshi has a high reputation, it is impossible for him to enter Zhao Zongshi's inner circle, let alone give him power.

In the end, it was the news of Long Chang period's entry into Beijing that prompted him to make up his mind that he could not sit idly by and wait for death—if the Long Chang period was officially recognized and became the academic orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he still have a foothold? ——
