Hearing Cai Jing ask about Xu Xi, Shen Kuo nodded and responded: "There is indeed such a person in the army, but why did Yuan Chang remember to ask about this person?" ”

Cai Jing frowned slightly, his skinny fingers knocked on the table, as if he was weighing something, and after a moment he raised his head and said to the king: "Just now the guards caught a person, sneakily looking near the gate of the mansion, the guards tortured him, he said that Xu Xi sent him, in order to secretly protect the comfort of the prince."

"Protect me and comfort? Hehe, I think he wants to stare at me to see if there's anything wrong with me. Yuan Chang, this man also served under his father, you should know him? Wang Bei sneered and said.

Hearing Wang Bei say this, Cai Jing's expression relaxed: "Recognize!" He used to work together in the department back then, but he was the same wall grass as Lu Huiqing, and when he saw that the emperor was shaken by innovation, he immediately changed the direction of the wind. By the way, why did he follow you here? ”

Shen Kuo said: "This time to send troops to build Yongle City is this guy's proposal, the emperor promoted him to his official position, and he is also the deputy marshal of this expedition to Western Xia." ”

"Oh~" Cai Jing suddenly realized that he was even more relieved.

Wang Bei smiled: "Look at your cautious appearance, are you kid afraid of someone secretly visiting you for corruption and bribery?" ”

Cai Jing's skinny cheeks were flushed with a hint of redness, as if he was told by the king, and he laughed dryly: "It's always right to be careful, I admit that I am a little greedy for money, if I say that I am corrupt and bribery, then I will not admit it." Besides, which official is not greedy? I'm pretty good! After all, I don't have a party to fight against others, or do something to harm others. ”

"Huo, it seems that a lot has changed in the past ten years?! You said that the harmful thing is not talking about the Wutai poetry case, right? Wang said and glanced at Shen Kuo.

This time it was Shen Kuo's turn to blush: "Look at you, I just didn't help Su Shi speak, and I didn't hurt him." Besides, it was Li Ding who harmed him, and you can't get out of this matter! ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Wang Blinked and looked at Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo rolled up his sleeves, and it seemed that he wanted to argue about this matter: "Of course it matters, Li Ding hated Su Shi very much, before he proposed to Su Shi to marry Su Xiaomei, but Su Shi didn't agree, and he humiliated Li Ding." Did you marry Su Xiaomei, does it have anything to do with you? Later, Li Ding still didn't give up......"

"Ahem......" Cai Jing suddenly coughed, and Shen Kuo also felt that there were too many words, so he immediately stopped talking.

"Later? How does he not give up? Wang stopped his chopsticks and stared at Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo also knew that he was out of his mouth, after all, some things were rumors, how could these gossips be used as the basis for disputes in the officialdom?

"Lord Wang, you just came back from outside this time, why don't we have a party, come and eat and drink more......" Cai Jing said and poured a full glass of wine next to Wang.

Wang put down his chopsticks: "Brother Shen, do you want to say that Li Ding and Su Shi originally had a deep grudge, and the Wutai poetry case was just a pretext?" ”

Shen Kuo laughed and said: "Yes, yes, the prince still understands me, that's what I mean." He said and hurriedly toasted to the wine glass next to the king, but the king did not hold the wine glass but said: "You also know that if I have been gone for fourteen years and still treat me as a brother, you should know everything and say everything, so why is Li Ding still not giving up?" ”

Now Shen Kuo is worried, Wang Bian is going to hold on to this matter, if he is honest, Wang Bian's temper will definitely play with Li Ding when he returns to the capital, and he doesn't know how to answer Wang Bian if he doesn't tell the truth, he glanced at Cai Jing for help.

Cai Jing hurriedly took over and said: "It's not a big deal, the man should get married, the woman should get married, and if you get married, you can remarry, this is all human nature." It's just that how can the princess remarry casually? What's more, Princess Su has a brother who is so harsh and unforgiving, this is not to ridicule Li Ding again, and it is not like the first time, but to ridicule the public. They are all court officials, of course, they can't get by with face. ”

Hearing this, Wang was very happy, his wife was very loyal, and his eldest brother was so powerful: "Haha, if you want to say that Su Shi is unlucky, you can blame him for being too open-mouthed, but after all, it is for my family's affairs, and I will comfort him when I go back." After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

Shen Kuo sighed: "No, these are trivial matters, maybe when the imperial court will summon Su Shi back." Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, this is normal in officialdom. Only life remains, there is always a chance. If you are afraid, you are afraid of being killed, and in the end, you will die unjustly or even the cause of death is unknown, then it is not worth it! ”

"Cough, cough, cough ......" Cai Jing coughed even more fiercely this time.

Wang Fang frowned and looked at Cai Jing, this guy is still coughing like this with yellow muscles and thin muscles, don't you have tuberculosis anymore? If it's contagious, you can have a meal with him, and if you are infected with lung disease, you won't know how to die.

"Yuan Chang, your cough is a disease, you have to be cured!" Wang said with concern.

Cai Jing was choked by Wang Bei's words, pretending to cough and turning into a real cough, he hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth and said, "I don't usually cough, but I started coughing when I saw Brother Shen today." ”

"See me? Which of my words is wrong, some things are just not said by everyone, don't you have doubts in your heart? No matter how you say it, you are also from the palace, you can say something ......," Shen Kuo said.

Cai Jing finally stopped coughing, he looked up and saw Wang Fang looking at him with a frown, and hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to wipe his mouth with a handkerchief. Now Wang Bei was even more suspicious, he looked at Shen Kuo again, and Shen Kuo waved his hand: "I don't know anything?!" ”

"Who is the prince of the palace who you said died in vain?" Wang's face gradually became serious.

Cai Jing sighed: "Originally, I was very happy to see the prince today, even if the prince said so many things about me just now, I think the prince should talk about me, all these years I have wanted to save more silver taels, and I will not resign if I have saved enough." But this process is inevitably a little as you say. But if you don't do this, you can't do it, in the first few years of Xining, the emperor supported innovation, but the more he later, the more he connived at the opposition, and after a long time, the difference in political views became a dispute between political parties, and maybe someone would be unlucky at any time. From the beating of the prince in the palace to the death of the eldest prince after hysteria, this is the result of the battle. As for Su Shi's involvement, it is just the aftermath. ”

Wang was really angry when he heard this, he slapped the table and stood up, walked back and forth in the house a few times, and finally stopped and stared at Cai Jing and asked, "My father was beaten in the palace?" Who hit it? I've heard about my brother's death, do you think there is something else going on in my brother's death? ”

Cai Jing knew that he couldn't hide these things if he wanted to, even if he didn't say it today, he would know sooner or later when the king returned to the capital. "Shangyuan Night King Anshi rode into the palace, and was stopped by the guards when he was at the Xuande Gate, saying that Wang Xianggong offended the saint, and he didn't know who gave them the order, so he beat Wang Xianggong with his head and face. The whole court knew about this, and the final punishment was that the emperor only slapped ten guards. ”

"Damn!" Wang Bian's angry fist fell on the table, Xuande Gate officials above the third grade can not get off the horse, the palace only has a place to dismount, this is obviously provoking trouble. "And then?"

Later, the matter was over, but everyone knew that the prince was gone. After the prince resigned, it was Lu Huiqing who became the prime minister, and later the saint summoned the prince, and the prince was the prime minister for the second time, so Lu Huiqing kept stirring up right and wrong in front of the emperor and squeezing out the prince, and opposed the addition of the eldest prince Wang Yan as a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion. The eldest prince saw that Lu Huiqing was going to take revenge, and he was angry and took illness to the court, and at the same time collected Lu Huiqing's charges, who knew that this Lu Huiqing was scheming, and he sued the wicked first, saying that the eldest prince and the prince played together and engaged in blind dates to tease the royal family. also said that the eldest son is so ambitious and not a petty official. In short, there are a lot of crimes, the eldest prince has a good face, he can't afford to get sick in a hurry, and he was only thirty-three years old when he died! ”

Cai Jing said this and took a sip of wine: "Mrs. Pang Di was remarried to Zhao Hao when the eldest prince was critically ill, and the prince must have been forced to be helpless at that time. I heard that when the eldest prince closed his eyes, he was still holding a piece of words that read "Eye-catching". Do you think the prince is confused? Is the eldest prince's death wronged? After the death of the eldest son, the old man resigned from the post of prime minister again, presumably he was already disheartened, and the great sorrow of life is the loss of his son when he is old, the prince is gone, and the eldest prince is also gone......"

Wang Bei's heart ached, after more than ten years, Wang Anshi was his reborn father, and Wang Yan was his own brother, and now his family was ruined and ended up like this.

"Okay, don't talk about it......" Shen Kuo saw the sad expression next to the king and reminded Cai Jing.

Shang Ying was torn apart, Zhang Juzheng was liquidated afterwards, and Wang Anshi was scolded because of incompetent governance, poor livelihood of the people, and even the crime of the Song Dynasty's demise was imposed on his head. There was a chill next to the king, there was nothing wrong with innovation, but the fault was that the emperor was not resolute. Failure to follow the law means that there is no law, and changing the order is the root cause of the chaos. But when these are told to them and to the people of the Song Dynasty, can they understand? Even the current emperor Zhao Ji, like all emperors, is a Ming Jun if he has a good deed, and if something happens, let his subordinates carry the black pot.

Zhao Ji does not have the benevolence of Renzong, does not have the heroism of Taizu, and even has not seen far as Yingzong Zhao Shu. But it is such an emperor, who has had a very close relationship with Wang Bi since he was a child, but he has always been suspicious and wary of Wang Bi, and lost no time in stealing all the wealth that Wang Bi has worked hard to build. At the same time, he also stole Wang Anshi's thoughts, but unfortunately he did not understand the essence, did not enrich the country and strengthen the army from the heart, but wanted to be a generation of Shengming monarchs for fame.

Fourteen years ago, I am afraid that the king would have slapped the table and said all the words in his heart. But now he won't, after listening to Cai Jing's statement, he slowly sat back in his seat and picked up the wine glass: "These things have passed, and when I come back this time, I have no heart to fight." When I go back to see my father to reassure him, then I plan to walk around and see what has changed over the past ten years. As for the affairs of the court, my father can let go, what can't I let go?! ”

"That's right, let's go back If the emperor is to blame, then I will also resign, and our brothers will also visit the famous mountains and rivers for a good walk!" Shen Kuo said hurriedly.

Cai Jing didn't say anything, and the answer next to the king made him feel that the prince was no longer the prince of the past. He didn't know that the happy revenge king had not changed, and the different thing was that this time the king had to do something bigger, so big that Cai Jing and Shen Kuo couldn't imagine.
