Wang Anshi stood up and saluted and said: "Please forgive the Holy Lord for the dog's collision with the ministers of the court, if there is something introverted enough, the ministers will teach them strictly." ”

Zhao Zongshi said: "The king is a malleable talent" He said this and thought to himself: Child, if you are not well-behaved, how high I can hold you, I can beat you as hard as I can.

The ministers listened to Zhao An's words, and some people echoed: There is a rush to Wang Anshi here; has the face of rushing Bao Zheng; Some are pleasing Renzong and Grandpa Zhao; Of course, there are those who are not convinced. For example, Ouyang Xiu, his beloved apprentice Su Shi Jinke High School has never had extra weight and awards. But he was in the minority, so he had to keep quiet.

But some people like that pot and don't mention which pot, Zhao Zongshi turned to Ouyang Xiu and said: "Lord Ouyang, do you see that Wang Bei's future talent and learning are better than Su Shi, the first class in the current department?" ”

Ouyang Xiu listened to Ouyang Xiu next to Renzong's crowning of the king, and listened to Zhao Zongshi's comparison, and then remembered that day Bao Zhengfu went to the banquet, it was not a taste of the boss in his heart. said: "Even if I get the first grade, but it is only the seventh grade, I still have to have three years of Hanlin Academy revision or release to serve in the assessment, and the period can be added after the expiration of the period." Wang is smart, his beloved apprentice Su Shi is wise, and Wang is still young. Naturally, the saint will not take into account the hard work of students all over the world. Grandpa Zhao's comparison, it's not appropriate."

Everyone heard that this Ouyang Xiu said that Wang was not as smart as his student Su Shi. But I don't know what Ouyang Xiu said is that it is inappropriate for the saint to add the title to the king, or whether it is inappropriate to compare the king with Su Shi.

Renzong saw that the minister, you said everything I said and talked about the excitement, but Sima Guang was silent. Then he asked, "Sima Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Sima Guang got up and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, the king is young, and his mind needs to be more mature and sealed, and the minister is afraid that he will be given a good reputation now, and he will not be able to control it well, and it will be difficult to become an atmosphere in the future." ”

Renzong nodded and said, "What Lord Sima said is also reasonable, what do you wish for next to the king?" "Seeing that the ministers are talking one after another, this king is indeed younger, it is better to ask him, maybe some more gold and silver, if the king's requirements are too high, then only as a child's words, let alone mind.

Wang Fang thought to himself, what is the use of my so much gold and silver, maybe one day I will leave here again, it is better to be happy day by day, not to mention that my mind is not really only fourteen years old.

He said: "Master Sima Guang became famous at the age of seven, half younger than me at the moment, and he is very good. Former Prime Minister Yan Shu was also a jinshi given by the emperor at the age of fourteen. I know that I can't compare with these two, the emperor doesn't have to give me a jinshi, I also admit to giving a seven or eight grades, and I'm still young, and I will have time to serve the court in the future. ”

Renzong secretly thought that this king was not an ordinary child, so he blocked Lord Sima before, and then used Yan Shu as an example to block me, and also made Lord Ouyang have nothing to say, and it doesn't seem too much to give a seven or eight grades.

So he said, "The king listens to the decree."

Hearing this, the king knew that he was going to seal it and quickly knelt down. Renzong said: "In view of your tried, I will make an exception to give you the title of Eight-Rank Cultivator, and reward you with a hundred taels of silver. ”

The king thanked the will, which was always higher than the nine grades, and he was also overjoyed when he thought that the future was infinitely bright.

Returning to his seat at the low table, Yuan Ze gave him a thumbs up, Zhong Zhen also smiled at him, and the rest of the sons were about the same age, and they also raised their glasses to celebrate like the king. He himself was happy in his heart, but there was still one thing that made him unable to completely relax, at this time, he thought of Liang Yuexia, how could he tell her?

Listening to Yuan Ze's urging, "Brother, hurry up and eat some, I have already given wine to the ninth."

Zhong Zhen also said, "Yes, the banquet will be over after the wine cup" Wang Fang then remembered that when he was delicacies from the mountains and seas just now, he was working hard to write.

Then he gave the royal wine "deer head wine". At the same time, the maids and eunuchs served water and rice, and the rice was served. The king saw that it was porridge and pickled cabbage and said that he finally participated in a palace banquet, but he was not full.

Renzong announced the end of the banquet and walked down the hall, and the ministers followed behind him, tasting chrysanthemums in the garden. At the end of the group, Wang was already unintentional, and he was looking forward to finishing it quickly so that he could go back to Liang Yuexia.

From the Cuiwei Palace, it took about ten or twenty minutes to walk to the "place where the slaughter dismounted". The palanquins and horses of the ministers were all parked there. In Wang's view, it is now a "parking lot". His location is near the left Yintai Gate in the north corridor of the Xuande Gate. To the north, there was the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council in the imperial city, and to the south was the Shangshu Province, which were the daily offices of the courtiers. For Wang Pan, it is what modern people call a parking lot. It takes more than ten or twenty minutes to walk from Cuiwei Hall to this place. Along the way, Wang Anshi instructed Wang Fang not to be proud in the future.

Dismount to say goodbye to everyone, Wang followed Bao Zheng back to Kaifeng Mansion, walked on the spacious royal street out of Xuande Gate, sent the cool autumn breeze to the face, and then just a few imperial wines, I couldn't help but flutter in my heart, remembering that this street is a broad avenue leading to the palace, remembering that there is a drama in "The Female Horse" "I have also been to the Qionglin banquet, I have also beaten the horse in front of the street, everyone praised me Pan Anxiang, the original yarn hat cover Chanjuan" thought that in addition to the last sentence is not very appropriate, when will we also be a horse master?

As soon as he entered the mansion, Bao Zheng asked the master and the old housekeeper who greeted him what was going on in the mansion when he was away. The old housekeeper replied that there was nothing to do in the inner house, and the master reported: "The official office of the right chamber sent a theft criminal, and everyone got stolen goods, only a huge amount and involved the family property of the court minister, and the West Prison was temporarily detained." Please Bao retrial. ”

Bao Zheng said, "Nan Ya Shengtang". Then he looked at the king and said, "Since you have already served, you can listen to the case in the court." Wang listened to Bao Zheng say this, and followed Bao Zheng towards the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion.

Since entering Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Bi also knows some things about Kaifeng Mansion, and he knows that this official office is roughly equivalent to the current police station, and the West Prison is in the west of Kaifeng Mansion, which is equivalent to the current detention center. Suspects are held here for no more than 40 days, and once sentenced, all but those on death row are held here for a few days to await the emperor's approval.

Wang followed Bao Zheng to the lobby, and the officials had already stood in two shifts waiting for the adults to ascend to the hall. After Bao Zheng sat in the court, his face sank like water, and behind him stood Li Gui and Lou Qing, two guards; Master and Wang stood on both sides of the hall. The main hall of Kaifeng Mansion hangs the plaque of "clean and honest", and the tiger head cards of "quiet" and "avoidance" are listed on both sides of the public case. The "dragon head", "tiger head" and "dog head" three copper guillotines placed in front of the lobby are daunting.

The master handed the case file and a package to Mr. Bao's book case. Bao Zheng opened the case file and looked at it, his brows tightened. After reading the case file, I looked at the package again. Look at the package again, then look at the case file. After watching it two or three times, I secretly thought that things were not good, and this would be a big case involving the safety of the imperial court. But he still sat down, and ordered a servant to carry a token to check the prisoners.

He also called the king to come close and let him see the case file and other things, and the king took the case file, which clearly read: "Report: The privy envoy Di Qing's housekeeper caught a thief." After the examination of the official prefect of the right chamber, the thieves have confessed, because the amount of property involved in the theft is significant, and it is specially transferred to the Kaifeng Mansion for acceptance. "There is the prefect's seal underneath.

Seeing that it was the lost thing in Di Qing's mansion, Wang Bi hurriedly checked the items in the package according to the list of thieves confessing to the theft attached behind.

Gold, silver, jewelry, jade, jade, jade, and jadeite are listed in detail, and the latter part of the note has been sold; Another yellow robe is still there. At the end of the list, it is also written, a pine sword. Annotations, stolen goods have been sold. Wang Pan suddenly had an ominous premonition, and said: "Not good" Bao Zheng's thoughts are not good, and what Wang Pan thinks is not good, are two different things. Just this yellow robe alone is beyond the scope of the official affairs of the right chamber, not to mention whether the Song Wenjian that sold the stolen goods is held by Liang Yi, if so, then these two people may know each other and may be in the same party, and now they are inevitably suspected of collusion in the same place. The stakes are very high, although Di Qing has a very close relationship with himself, Bao Zheng has always only recognized things and not people.

Seeing that the king said it badly, Bao Zheng asked: "Why is it not good to say it next to the king of Xiu Lang?" ”

As soon as Wang Pan heard this, he understood that his father-in-law called himself an official cultivator at this time, firstly, to show everyone his position, so that Wang could speak in front of the hall in the future, and on the other hand, it was also to remind himself not to talk nonsense. Immediately returned and said: "I think that Master Di Qingdi has been framed"

Bao Zheng asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Wang said: "The yellow robe is very important, why would Lord Di put it in a place where it can be easily reached." Besides, how dare a real thief steal the yellow robe. Where do you want him to sell the stolen goods? ”

While he was talking, the guard Xue Ba came to report, and when he was patrolling the mansion, he walked near the West Prison and saw a jailer lying crooked at the gate of the West Prison, and went up to check that he was seriously injured. There are officials and masters in the lobby, and there are housekeepers and housekeepers inside.

Xue Ba is in the guard class, and only this guard class can walk everywhere. The guards of Kaifeng Mansion are all masters around Lord Bao, they are superb in martial arts, bold and careful, and have a strong sense of responsibility. Mainly responsible for the safety of the house and Lord Bao, it is different from the official who handles the case on an errand, but it is all deployed by Lord Bao, and the guards will follow in major cases. Although the guards can patrol around, they can't break into the door, just like Xue Ba now, if he finds something abnormal, he can tell Lord Bao, and only after receiving a token can he enter the West Prison to check.

At this time, the officers who were sent to check the prisoners in the prison were escorted by the wardens and the guards to meet them. When the two saw Bao Zheng hurriedly knelt down, they shouted: "The villain is guilty, and the adult spares his life." The official next to him reported to Bao Zheng that "so the two of them neglected their duties and took a nap while on guard, and as a result, two prisoners escaped from the West Prison." ”

Hearing this, Bao Zheng asked, "Who escaped?" ”

The official replied: "Liang Yi, a criminal who injured people with a cold weapon illegally, and a criminal awaiting trial in the case of stealing Di Qing's huge funds."

Bao Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and he already understood that Liang Yi was rescued by this person, that is, he was imprisoned to save people. Wang Bei secretly thought that if he directly saved people, then he would inevitably alarm the warden and the jailer first, and it would be easy to get in, but he would become a turtle in an urn. This is also a way to disguise yourself first, and then come out when people are unprepared.
