Chapter 081: Blatant Threat
Wang saw Li Gefei again, and the events of his youth more than ten years ago seemed to be vivid. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info asked Li Gefei how he came and went in a hurry, and he was just curious, if ordinary officials from other provinces came to Beijing to report on their work, they would stay for at least a few days, not to mention that although Li Gefei was not from the capital, his father-in-law was the current prime minister Wang Qi, and it would be more normal to stay in the capital for a few more days.
Li Gefei said lightly: "Some time ago, the wind rumored that you were back again, and I wanted to come to see you at that time." It's just that my father-in-law is an official in the capital, so I don't come to the capital often, lest people say that I am here for fame. This time I happened to be ordered to enter Beijing, and when I arrived in the capital yesterday evening, I went to my father-in-law's house, and after a detailed discussion with my father-in-law, I learned that this time someone recommended me to the emperor. Today, I recommended and went back to be my professor in Yunzhou, so I will go back tomorrow. ”
"This is interesting, isn't the official who is nominated not in line with Uncle Wen's wishes?"
"How can there be anything that is not in line with the official position? The main thing is that the person who was promoted, I think he has a plan, and I asked my father-in-law to know that the reason why he recommended me was to please my father-in-law or have ulterior motives, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't do it. ”
Wang said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, you have always been peaceful, who can make you so disgusted?" ”
"I don't like it, I can't talk about disgust, I just think that the farther away this person is, the better. Speaking of which, you must also know that it is Lu Huiqing, the governor of the government. ”
Wang gave a thumbs up: "Wise! ”
Regarding Lu Huiqing, Li Gefei didn't seem to bother to say much, and Wang Bei knew a lot, so he didn't mention this person again. The two chatted for a while, and Li Gefei got up to say goodbye.
Wang said with a little regret: "Forget about others, since Uncle Yong came to the capital, he has to let me do some of the friendship of the landlord." ”
"I'll make it up when you get to Yunzhou!"
Li Gefei said goodbye and walked out of the study, Jiao Deyou entered the door and said to Wang: "This Professor Li thought he was very honest back then, although he helped our palace do something, Zhang Luo inside and out, it can be said that if Suzhou has the Taibao Bank, it will be convenient for the people to use money." Nowadays, I don't even hire chariots and horses when I come to the capital. ”
"How?"
"I just chatted with his entourage for a while, and Qiao Sheng said that their master is frugal on weekdays, and you also know that the officials in other provinces are not high, this Li Gefei doesn't look at a prime minister's father-in-law, but he is very bitter. This time, they came to Beijing on foot, which is also five or six hundred miles. ”
Wang said in his heart, no wonder he came and went in a hurry, and his time was spent on the road. But even so, for the recommendation of the official, it seems that this person is so low-key and high-minded that he has not changed because of the world, no wonder he will train such an excellent daughter.
"Brother Jiao, you arrange for someone to drive them off."
"Hehe, I guess you'll hear that this is how it will be arranged, and I will have them ready for the carriage and the coachman. I'll go! ”
Jiao Deyou went to send someone to drive Li Gefei, and personally caught up with the master and servant. Li Gefei knew the king's good intentions, so he didn't shirk more. When I returned to the house, I happened to move out at the right time.
"What are you doing here?" Jiao Deyou asked, thinking that this kid didn't look for a fishing rod again, right?
Shi Qian glanced at Jiao Deyou: "I gave the letter that the prince wanted, and he said that there was nothing wrong with me." Didn't you say my nickname didn't count? Master, I'll go out and make a name for myself! ”
Jiao Deyou smiled when he joked and said, "Go quickly, I have good news to come back and say." Don't get into trouble! ”
Shi Qian smiled and ran away.
Wang looked at the letter brought back by Shi Qian, which was the hobby of Zheng Xia that Cui Xi inquired about. This person is decent on weekdays, but he prefers to drink, and sometimes behaves inappropriately after drinking. Now this person is in the capital, and he has not been rewarded by high-ranking officials because of his dedication, so he sometimes has a lot of complaints about it. When Wang Anshi regained his appearance before, it was good to say that when Lu Huiqing resigned again, it seemed that Zheng Xia had also looked for Lu Huiqing, but he didn't get his wish, so he hated and added to Lu Huiqing.
These happened to be what Wang Fang wanted to know, especially when he saw that Zheng Xia and Lu Huiqing did not agree, and he fell into Wang Fang's heart even more. Wine is a thing that can make people lose their temper, some are wry and some are drunk, some are bold and courageous, and some are drunk and chaotic. Especially for those who are hungry for alcohol, it is simply easier to take it.
Put Zheng Xia's matter aside first, and wait for Tong Guan to come back and report it. said that he had sent someone to wait at Sun Gu's mansion, and as soon as Sun Gu returned to the house after finishing his business, he would immediately come to inform the king.
When he came to the hour at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the people sent by Tong Guan came back to report that Sun Gu had answered the house. The king shouted twice, but no one came, thinking that this boy might be crazy again. sent someone to invite Sun Gu to come, and Sun Gu received the letter sent by the king, and muttered in his heart. I wasn't very familiar with Wang Bei, what did this prince call me for? I thought that this person couldn't be provoked, he was a popular person around the emperor back then, and he went through three dynasties. Now he is the emperor's confidant, and I heard that he will also offer the emperor an elixir to prolong life, although such a person has no soldiers and no power in his hands, it is more terrible than power.
Those who have power in their hands have a scope of rights in everything, or there is no such thing as exceeding their authority. But the king does not participate in the government and has no power in his hands, so there is no overstepping his authority. The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and hurriedly prepared a sedan chair and came to Meyer's house.
Looking at this Mayer Mansion, it is not big, and a dignified prince actually lives more shabby than ordinary courtiers. was brought to the living room by the official family of Meyer Mansion, and the king was sitting in the main seat, and he didn't get up when he saw Sun Gu coming: "Master Sun is here, please take a seat!" ”
When Sun Gu saw the king, he was vaguely like he was back then, and thought to himself that it seemed that he was helping the emperor to refine the pill was true. At this time, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the prince calling me in a hurry today?!" ”
"Sun Gu, let me ask you what you were doing when you were in the seventh year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty?"
One sentence made Sun Gu a little confused, this is not a public court, why did this little prince ask this as soon as he came up. Fortunately, his official position has not changed for many years, so he replied: "I have served in the Yintai Division for seven years in Xining. ”
"Are you not mistaken?"
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, it's definitely true, I was only transferred to the Privy Council last year. Until then, he had been working at the Gintai Division. After he finished speaking, he peeked at the king, and saw that the king had a black face and a watery face. At this time, Sun Gu muttered even more in his heart, and he hurriedly lowered his head and waited for the king to ask.
"I heard that your son is also in the Gintai Division now? Isn't it called Sun Chao! ”
"Yes?! Lord Wang, did Sun Chao offend the prince? ”
Seeing Sun Gu's trembling appearance, Wang Jian knew that the other party did not dare to be disrespectful to him, and he did not dare to play tricks, so he asked directly: "Let me ask you, there was a major event in the seventh year of Xining, Zheng Xia presented the "Diagram of the Displaced People" to the emperor in the year of famine, and the false accusation was caused by his father's new policy, how much do you know about this matter!" ”
Sun Gu listened to the king's voice, this scene was not like the king invited himself to interrogate, but it was like the court was annoying. But I didn't dare not say it, and from the moment I entered the door, I felt that although this Mayer Mansion was not big, the aura next to this king was enough.
"Lord Wang, everyone in the court knows about this matter." What Sun Gu said was that he knew that Zheng Xia was offering pictures, but whether Zheng Xia falsely accused Wang Anshi has not been determined. But as soon as he answered like this, he also felt that something was wrong, it seemed that Zheng Xia was falsely accusing the whole court. But if Wang Bian wants to overturn the case for Wang Anshi now, wouldn't it be a false accusation for Zheng Xia to say so? Thinking about it, the old man couldn't get around a little, and he added anxiously: "Lord, Zheng Xia's dedication to the picture caused the resignation of the prince, and the officials of the court know about such a big matter, but Zheng Xia's dedication to the picture has nothing to do with me!" ”
Seeing that he was nervous, Wang Bi also felt that Sun Gu was timid and sleek, if he knew that Zheng Xia was offering a picture to the emperor, he would definitely not dare to take Zheng Xia to see the emperor. Thinking of this, the king smiled coldly: "You don't know? In addition to the eunuchs in the imperial city, they can get close to the emperor, and then there is the Yintai Sealing Division, which can go directly to the emperor. I have already investigated, and Zheng Xia was brought to the emperor by your Yintai Division that day. Sun Gu, I can tell you, this matter is big and small, if you are derelict in your duties and disturb the Holy Driver, this crime is not small?! ”
Seeing that Sun Gu looked frightened, and there was still some hesitation in the dark color, the king took a sip of water from the cup and said: "Let me remind you again, Sun Chao is also in the Yintai Division now, in case one day the refutation of the holy will makes the emperor unhappy, or the urgent matter is not reported to the emperor in time, this is a big crime." ”
These words were really very useful, and Sun Gu looked helpless: "Lord Wang, aren't you scaring me by saying this?!" ”
"I'm not scaring you, I'm threatening you!" Wang Fang stared at Sun Gu unceremoniously.
Sun Gu's legs trembled, and he said with a crying voice: "You, you let me think about it, this matter must not be my business, but Zheng Xia has seen the emperor on the map, and everyone is patronizing the affairs of those homeless people and the resignation of the prince, and no one has paid attention to how Zheng Xia saw the emperor that day!" ”
Wang Bian pointed at Sun Gu with his hand: "Sun Gu, listen, now this king gives you two hours to check, if you can't find it, let your son check, in short, you must give me a letter before tomorrow morning, otherwise you must have heard of this king's temper." ”
"Hey, my lord, I'll go right away." Sun Gu was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating, and this matter came too suddenly. Thinking of the little overlord-like king more than ten years ago, Sun Gu was not afraid, especially when he bluntly said that he was threatening himself. Who to reason with this matter, even if it comes to the emperor, he was the official business of the Yintai Division back then, Zheng Xia's contribution to the picture is obviously not a matter of urgency, why let him go in to see the emperor to present the picture.
Sun Gu hurriedly returned to the house and sent someone to call Sun Chao, father and son discussed countermeasures, Sun Chao also knew that this king was not easy to mess with, especially when he saw the king recommending Cai Jing in the palace that day, the emperor simply obeyed. There was no way, Sun Chao hurried back to Xuanhui Academy to check the files.
Sun Gu's father and son were busy over there, and when Sun Gu left, it was already dark. Wang Jian saw that Shi Qian hadn't come back yet, and he was feeling strange in his heart, and heard that there was some chaos outside, and then Cui Deyou came in with Chen Kang and Zhang Bao.
When Wang saw Erxi, he just wanted to explain to Chen Kang why he didn't recognize him when he was in Yanzhou, but Chen Kang stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, when we just came back, we saw on the street that it seemed to be that Shi Qian and was tied up. Send someone to see it! ”
Cui Deyou clapped his hands: "It's bad, this kid said when he left, he wanted to give him that nickname to make a name?" Could it be that he went to steal someone's stuff and let them catch him?! ”
