Chapter 237, Zhang Dan's visit
After sending Wen Wan and Qin Cao away, Li Dang waited in Bianjing for a whole month before waiting for Sima Guang.
However, this month, he was not idle, but in accordance with the requirements of the six rites, he completed the procedures for Zhao Ying's recruitment, asking for names, Najib, and recruitment.
Although Gao Taotao had agreed to marry Zhao Yingxia to Li Kang, he still nominally needed someone to propose to Gao Taotao, what Li Kang didn't expect was that Zhang Dang took the initiative to go to Li Dang's mansion to help Li Dang ask Gao Taotao for marriage.
Because Cai is indeed busy repairing the emperor's mausoleum, Zhang Dian is now not only aware of the affairs of the Privy Council, but also take care of the affairs of the Chinese book province, which can be said to be a great opportunity, he saw Li Kang and went straight to the point: "Li Yuma, Zhang knows that you want to propose to the Empress Dowager, but there is one less person to propose marriage, what do you think of Zhang?" β
At least for now, Li Dang has a good impression of this dignified Zhang Dan, and he is now in a respected position, and he can indeed take on the task of proposing marriage to Gao, Li Dare nodded and said: "Then there is Lao Zhanggong!" β
Zhang Dian didn't say anything, and Li Dang summed up the matter of proposing marriage, explained to Li Dang some things that needed attention, and went down to prepare.
The last time Zhang Dian visited, it was a dowry of one million yuan that was sent to Gao Taotao, after completing the procedure of "recruitment". Zhang Dian said to Li Dang: "Sima Guang is here? β
Zhang Dian, who was a little distraught, didn't know what Li Dang thought of Sima Guang, and he could feel that Sima Guang was not good at what happened last time, and the good ones did not come.
Li Dang nodded, thinking, finally here, he said: "This old fool is still here." β
"Old fool," Zhang Dian was stunned for a moment, he nodded and said, "Li Juma is right, he is indeed an old fool. β
Zhang Dian didn't know that Li Kang's perception of Sima Guang, who was known as the "saint", was not good, and he thought that he had worked hard for Li Kang to please Li Kang recently, so Li Kang called Sima Guang an old fool in front of him.
Anyway. Zhang Dian felt that it was a good thing that Li Dare was willing to express his position in front of him, so he sighed and said: "This old fool is here, I'm afraid this court will not be at peace!" β
Li Dare pretended to be surprised and said: "It is rumored outside, isn't this old fool gentle and humble, and he will still cause trouble?" After all, Li Dang didn't know much about Sima Guang, and he wanted to get more information about Sima Guang from Zhang Dan's mouth.
Zhang Dian shook his head and said: "Gentle and humble, Zhang Mou, this fool is a hypocrite, and he is high-sounding outside." Secretly a man steals a woman. Prostitute? β
Li Dare smiled and said, "Men steal women. Prostitute, not to put? β
Zhang Dian also felt that he had gone too far, but he was reluctant to change his words, he continued: "This fool, who clearly said that he was editing books in Xijing, but secretly slandered the dynasty day and night with those scum in Luoyang City who were dissatisfied with the government and government, day and night. β
Li Dang remembered that in the struggle between the old and new parties, the old party seemed to be divided into factions such as the "Luo Party" and the "Shu Party". He sneered, "Isn't this a party for personal gain? β
"Forming a party for personal gain!"
Zhang Dian was stunned, this hat is not something that can be buckled on people's heads casually, you must know that the emperor does not taboo his ministers to form a party for personal gain, he hurriedly said: "That's not enough!" β
Li Kang didn't want to go online. He just happened to remember it and said it casually. Li Dare saw that Zhang Dun denied it, and knew that this was just a comment from later generations, and it was not appropriate. He smiled and said, "Can Zhang Gong arrange it, Li wants to meet this old fool." β
Zhang's mouth was wide open, and he looked puzzled. said: "Li Juma wants to see this old foolish worm, why? β
Li Dare smiled: "Isn't Li Langzhong, Li wants to help him treat his disease and treat his Alzheimer's disease." β
"Alzheimer's?"
Zhang Dian felt that Li Kang's word was used very well, Sima Guang just had Alzheimer's disease, so he became an old fool, Zhang Dian nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then let Zhang arrange it and let Li Juma treat him!" β
Zhang Dian smiled after speaking, obviously he knew that Li Dang said that he had to cure Sima Guang and by no means really wanted to treat Sima Guang, he wanted to repair Sima Guang in his own way. Although he didn't know how Li Dangjiang would treat Sima Guang, Zhang Dian was still happy to see it.
Li Dang also smiled, he knew that in Zhang Dan's eyes, he was already his friend in the past.
At this time, Li Kang suddenly remembered a person.
Li Dang remembered Su Shi, he knew that this Zhang Dian and Su Shi had always been good friends, only many years later, when Gao Tao was in power, the old and new parties completely broke up, and the relationship between Zhang Xuan and Su Shi completely deteriorated, so that later Zhao Xu was in power, and after Zhang Xuan took office, he even degraded Su Shi again and again, and put him to death quickly.
Li Dang asked, "Does Gong Zhang know where Mr. Dongpo is now?" β
Zhang Dian knew the friendship between Li Dang and Qin Guan, he nodded and said, "Su Shi, this kid, should be in Changzhou now, right?" Recently, rumors have spread in Bianjing, saying that he is going to be transferred to Changzhou as the governor, I don't think it can be trusted at this time? It is likely that he was reluctant to come because he was resettled in Ruzhou last time, and this time he may have to be kicked to Dengzhou on Shandong Road to be resettled. β
Zhang Dun is two years older than Su Shi, but he finally feels that he is more mature than Su Shi, in his eyes, the bearded Su Shi, who is now over the age of Su Shi, is a big child, so he has always liked to affectionately call Su Shi "boy".
Li Dare knew that the officials of the Song Dynasty were nominally protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven and the emperor's people, and their organizational relationships were all in the central ministries and commissions. It's just that the traffic of the Song Dynasty can be compared with another time and space, Li Dang couldn't bear to be his idol Su Shi again, he handed Zhang Dian a cup of tea, and said: "Zhang Gong has no way to get Mr. Dongpo to Bianjing." β
Zhang Dian thought that Qin Guan had asked Li Dang to take good care of his division commander, and he was not surprised by Li Kang's proposal, he said: "If you want Su Shi to return to Bianjing, you need a nod from one person." β
Of course, Li Dang knew who this person Zhang Dian was talking about, he nodded and said: "Actually, the Empress Dowager has a good impression of Mr. Dongpo, maybe she also has this thought, but she has been too busy to take care of it recently, why don't you remind Zhang Gong of her?" β
Zhang Dian readily agreed, after all, he and Su Shi have a good relationship, for this reason, a few months ago, he also wrote a special letter to Su Shi who was farming in Huangzhou, asking him to understand the world, be more restrained, and don't just criticize the New Deal, from Su Shi's letter, although Zhang Dian did not see Su Shi's intention to change the past, but Su Shi's attitude towards the New Deal is obviously much milder now.
Zhang Dian readily agreed: "Okay, Zhang Mou will talk to the Empress Dowager, and there is also the matter of curing the old foolish worm, which will also be arranged by Zhang." (To be continued......)
