According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the death of an official's parents or grandparents became "Ding Wei". Ding Wei, no matter what official position he is in, from the day he learns the news, he must be relieved of his official system and return to his ancestral hometown to mourn for three years.

After three years, although, in principle, it is possible to return to the post and be reinstated, in most cases, the previous position has been replaced by someone else, and not all of them can be reinstated smoothly.

Therefore, in the past few days, Wang Shuwen has been a little lacking in confidence when he debates with his political enemies in the court, and he is not as impassioned and eloquent as he was a few days ago. Especially when he looked at the cold eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he always felt a little worried in his heart.

Because his eyes were clear and clear, as if there was nothing in the world that he could not see through and not know.

But on the first day, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Not the next day.

But for some reason, Wang Shuwen became more and more worried in his heart, and did not put forward his own opinions on everything as he did some time ago, and by the way, he integrated the content of the new law into it and preached it.

On the third day of the court, when Wang Shuwen was about to continue to expound the strategy of innovation, a person suddenly stood up and asked him loudly: "I wonder if Wang Shangshu is familiar with the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Wang Shuwen frowned faintly, and his face remained silent: "Naturally." ”

"So, I don't know if Wang Shangshu knows what to do if the Tang Dynasty officials are worried about Ding Wei, or how to deal with hiding Ding Wei and not reporting it?"

After all, I couldn't escape what was supposed to come. Wang Shuwen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, looked up at the prince, and saw Li Chun's face smiling instead of smiling, but his eyes fell steadily on his face, so that he had nowhere to hide.

He knew everything.

Wang Shuwen slowly lowered his head in that cold gaze like ice and snow, and had to take a step forward and played: "Minister...... The minister did not deliberately conceal it, but just ...... I just want to summarize and handle the affairs of my office, and I haven't had time to report to His Highness......"

Li Chun still had a warm smile on his face, but that smile penetrated to the bottom of Wang Shuwen's heart, making him feel a little creepy, even if he lowered his head, he could clearly feel it.

"Minister......

Li Chun's tone was light, as if he was dealing with an extremely ordinary trivial matter, "In this case, Wang Shangshu is good at dealing with it, so let's make a handover." Over the years, His Majesty has bothered to have Mr. Lao Wang by his side, giving 100 taels of gold and 50 horses of silk, and the palace sent envoys to mourn, Mr. Wang and rest assured to go back, His Majesty's side of the palace will go to say. ”

The previous sentence is still "Wang Shangshu", and the latter sentence is already "Mr. Wang", even the things have been given, and he has even expected that he will beg His Majesty to find a way, the back road has been blocked, and it is impossible to meet the saint again before leaving.

Wang Shuwen originally had a lot of things to say in his throat, but listening to his words, he couldn't say anything more.

As soon as Ding Wei goes, even if he doesn't follow the regulations for three years, I'm afraid it will take a year and a half. What will be the situation in Beijing at that time, who can know?

The next day, Wang Shuwen resigned, temporarily resigned from all positions, and returned to his hometown for mourning.

In the past, when Wang Shuwen was still in the position of Hanlin Bachelor, there were many government decrees, although Wang Shuwen received the decree outside, but the specific implementation of many things was completed by Wei Zongren, who served as Shangshu Zuocheng and Tongping Zhangshi. Now that Wang Shuwen is gone, the heavy responsibility of the leader of the new party has fallen to Wei Zongren.

After Wang Shuwen left office, Li Chun, who had not returned to the East Palace for a long time, finally took time out and returned to the Chengen Hall after the next dynasty.

Nianyun was wearing a light cyan skirt, the color was almost plain white, and the half arm of the outer hood was also moon-white, with a few fine flowers embroidered on it.

When Li Chun walked over, she didn't notice it, she only heard a faint sigh, turned around, and saw him, bending her knees slightly, "Your Highness is back." ”

Li Chun knew that she had been snubbed during this period of time, but seeing that she was so pure, even a pair of ebony hairpins and a pair of hostas were inserted on her head, which was outrageous, and she felt a little panicked in her heart.

He was silent, so she had to take a few steps forward and said softly: "Your Highness is rare to come back, so don't stand in this tuyere, just go in." ”

I don't know who was standing in this tuyere for a long time! Li Chun frowned secretly, but didn't say anything, and followed her into the main hall.

The first two little girls in the hall were playing with something, and they looked very cheerful. One of them, who was wearing a light red skirt, was naturally Wanwan, and when he saw him, he didn't salute, and pounced directly: "Grandpa!" ”

The girl on the side is also very beautiful, about the same age as Wanwan, and the clothes on her body are more elemental than Nianyun. The girl hesitated for a moment before she walked up and saluted him respectfully: "Luoluo has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Whose child is this? He hadn't seen it.

He looked at Nianyun, and Nianyun hesitated for a moment before saying to him, "Let's go in." ”

A pot of Yangxian tea is being cooked on the small red clay tea stove in the inner hall, and the room is full of warm tea fragrance. Li Chun leaned on the edge of the couch and sat down, Nianyun didn't call the maid, he personally poured a cup of new tea and put it in front of him, and he also took a cup, before he sat down, and said slowly: "That kid is King Shu's." ”

As she said this, her eyes were fixed on the handkerchief in her hand, unconscious, but slowly and forcefully.

He had heard that since the earlier Princess Shu died, and the marriage with the Guo family did not come to fruition in the end, King Shu has not remarried, and there are no heirs, but later I heard that a maid in the house gave birth to a girl.

Thinking of the little girl's eyebrows, it is indeed somewhat similar to King Shu.

He didn't say anything, and waited quietly for her to follow.

She thought for a moment and said softly, "I want to...... Previously, Prince Zhaojing only had one King Shu under his knees, and now King Shu has no heirs, only this one child is also the blood of the Li family. If I had adopted her, she would have been a girl, and she would have just given a dowry when she was older......"

Seeing that Li Chun was silent, she hesitated and said, "Otherwise, I will send it to my third brother, Chang'er has no children under his knees......"

Li Chun looked at the silk handkerchief that had been twisted into a ball for her, and said lightly: "You look at it, Ning'er You'er is also out now, and it is also possible to leave her to be Wanwan's companion." When the situation is stable, I will give her the title of princess of the county, which is not a big deal. ”

Nian Yun's heart trembled slightly. He didn't bother to go around in circles and say that he asked His Majesty to be canonized, but directly said that he was canonized. He is now the crown prince, his biological daughter-in-law, and he is just a county lord. And he casually said that it is not a big deal to be crowned a princess, which shows that he already has a bottom in his heart.

In the court, Wang Shuwen resigned because of Ding Wei, she already knew.

"Mr. Wang is gone, but Your Majesty has lost a good arm, which is really unfortunate."

"Unfortunately?" Li Chun raised his eyebrows with a smile.

Nianyun was stunned for a moment, and took a sip of tea before saying, "Could it be that His Highness sent someone to ......?"

Li Chun shook his head: "It's not me, but I think someone did it, after all, the new law is what those big families don't want to see, and there are also many people who don't want Your Majesty to recover so quickly, where is there so much providence!" ”

Nian Yun sighed: "Your Majesty and Mr. Wang are too impatient. It's a pity that many of his political opinions were discussed together at that time, but I was afraid that we would give up halfway. ”

"If you have a heart, there will be opportunities in the future, but you are just a person, and you have to give up what you should give up, and you and Guo San have been operating for all these years." Li Chun drank half a cup of cold tea and gently put the cup on the table.

Nian Yun smiled bitterly: "Originally, I introduced those scholars to Mr. Wang to do their part for the East Palace, and I didn't want them to give in. Didn't expect ......"

Li Chun said: "If they didn't have your recommendation, I'm afraid they wouldn't have had the opportunity to be in a high position so quickly." ”

Nian Yun lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Now the few who are innovative, except for Mr. Wang, the backbone is Wei Zongren?" ”

Li Chun nodded: "There are just a few people, waiting for this to fall, and the white hemp life will be useless." ”

Nian Yun refilled him with hot tea and said, "Then Wei Zongren, you also know, is Du Huangshang's son-in-law." I saw that my brother often went to the Du family to walk around these days, and I thought that there should be no problem with the old man of the Du family. ”

Li Chun took the teacup in his hand and turned it around a few times, and thought about it seriously, "Du Huangshang is Ziyigong's old subordinate, it seems that Wei Zongren should have a headache for a while." ”

Nian Yun smiled, "If it's just a headache, I'm afraid it's not interesting." You might as well send another map of Yazhou to scare him and see how he is. ”

"Map of Yazhou?" Li Chun was stunned for a moment, then understood, his eyebrows and eyes were bent, and there was a smile on his face: "You are a tricky person." ”

The Guo brothers and sisters got close to those scholars, and naturally knew that Wei Zongren had a quirk, and he had always been very disgusted with Lingnan.

His disgust is also different from others, even when he touches the word 'Lingnan' or related words in his writing, he has to try to avoid it, or deliberately add or subtract one or two strokes.

When he was still a small official, he followed others to the Ministry of War to see the map, and there was a map of Lingnan hanging in the house. This Wei Zongren was suddenly so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly covered his eyes and didn't look at it, and asked someone to take it away immediately.

His dislike of Lingnan is said to be because Xie Zhenren calculated a hexagram for him when he was a child, saying that he was ambitious in his youth, and he was quite lucky, and when he was young, his official fortune was prosperous and soaring, but unfortunately the evening was bleak and he would eventually die in Lingnan.

Partial birth, this Xie Zhenren doesn't know if he can really be unpredictable or blind, and these things have been fulfilled before.

If Wei Zongren is told to retreat first, and then let out some wind to cause internal strife within the reform party, it is expected that the dilemma of the situation in the DPRK will be resolved in the near future.
