Chapter 177: The Truth of the Year

To tell the truth, everyone here did not expect that Fan Wenzheng would agree so readily, you must know that in the battle for Zhao Di's seizure of the throne, only Fan Wenzheng was the only one who disagreed, but at that time, he was a humble official, and his words had no weight, and although he did not agree with the seizure of the throne, he still agreed with the national policy set by Wenchen back then, and contributed a lot to the matter of combining vertical and horizontal, at that time, no one dared to go to Daqin to lobby for the signing of the covenant, that is, he stood up and went to Daqin first to fight for reason, and finally laid the foundation of peace in the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years。

If it weren't for Fan Wenzheng's diligence over the years, coupled with his really strong strength, he has made great progress in Confucianism and Taoism, and has become a golden sign of Confucianism and Taoism, and he would not have become a big man in the Great Song Dynasty today.

Of course, the most important thing is that Fan Wenzheng is a person who is good to himself and never forms a gang to fight for power and profit, so he does not have too many interests with other parties, so he can stand tall in the court.

Wen Yanbo proposed to let him go to Tianwei City to preside over this matter, but in fact, it was mostly a test of his attitude, and he didn't think he would agree.

The result was beyond the expectations of Wen Yanbo and others, and they didn't expect that Fan Wenzheng would agree to it in one bite, and this result really made everyone stunned for a while.

Wen Yanbo pondered for a moment and said, "Is it safe for Wen Zheng to go?"

Fan Wenzheng glanced up at everyone present, and said: "King Di is not a flood beast, let alone a traitor, he must be measured in his heart for the righteousness of his family and country, I think maybe this matter can be solved satisfactorily without doing anything at all." ”

Wen Yanbo's face sank slightly when he heard this, and said: "But he disregarded the law and discipline and killed the important ministers of the court, which is always an indisputable fact, if the court does not punish such murderers heavily, then where is the majesty of the court?"

Fan Wenzheng grabbed the wine jug on the table and poured himself a glass, drank it dry in one gulp, and then raised his eyelids and glanced at Wen Yanbo, who was not very good-looking, and said: "Of course, breaking the law needs to be severely punished, so I went this time to bring King Di to Bianjing City, and when the time comes, everyone will debate the rights and wrongs together, and it will naturally be clear." ”

Hearing Fan Wenzheng say this, Wen Yanbo's face softened a little, and he nodded: "This is exactly what the old man meant, Wen Zheng can deal with it impartially, I am very relieved!"

Since Wen Yanbo has no opinion, others will naturally have no opinion, and Fan Wenzheng is indeed the best candidate, so this matter has been finalized.

The banquet quickly dispersed, and the next day, Wen Yanbo and other bigwigs in the court came forward and quickly negotiated the candidates, and formed a law enforcement team led by Fan Wenzheng and went straight to Tianwei City.

Of course, Zhao Di knew that the imperial court would never give up, so he would detain the remaining personnel and put them in prison, waiting for the next move of the imperial court.

On the third day, Fan Wenzheng led more than 30 people to Tianwei City, and immediately went to the Dongcheng District Mansion after appearing, and then sent someone to hand over the worship post, inviting Zhao Di to the Mansion to talk.

After Zhao Di received the post, his face was not shocked, but when he saw the name of Fan Wenzheng on the post, he actually felt a little emotion in his heart, you must know that the name of Fan Wenzhenggong is like thunder, although I don't know that the Wen Zhenggong of this world is quite different from the Wen Zhenggong of his original world, but this person's achievements in this world are actually quite good.

At least in Zhao Di's opinion, this one-man Great Qin is in the precarious juncture of the Great Song Dynasty to save the building and collapse, and this merit alone is not comparable to the one in the previous life.

Of course, the world is different, and the merits cannot be compared, Zhao Di only sighed a little in his heart, as for what attitude he will treat the other party, he still needs to make plans after contact.

However, this person was not aggressive, on the contrary, he was very polite to send a letter of worship and invite him to go to the government to talk to him, just this concentration and bearing are not comparable to Ding Yi's group, at least the initial impression of Zhao Di is still good.

Therefore, after Zhao Di received the post, he directly ordered the following to prepare a car to go to the Dongcheng Mansion.

Coming to the front of the yamen, Fan Wenzheng and others had already received the news, he led a group of people to stand in front of the yamen to greet each other personally, seeing Zhao Di's carriage, Fan Wenzheng strode forward and bowed very respectfully, and said, "Meet the king of Di!"

Zhao Di lifted the curtain and looked at Fan Wenzheng, who was bowing, and said: "Wen Zhenggong doesn't need to be polite, the status of this prince has never been taken seriously by the court, and this king himself does not feel that it has a heavy weight, this time Wen Zhenggong came to probably capture this king and go to Bianjing City to ask for guilt, right? So you don't have to act like this, everyone knows a lot of things." ”

Fan Wenzheng got up and shook his head and said: "I don't know how others go to the officials, but the officials are the same to the king of Di, the prince is the prince, and the etiquette cannot be abolished!"

"Heh, the etiquette cannot be abolished, you Confucianists don't care about the following offenses, do you still care about this ceremony?"

"Forced by the situation, I have to do it, what happened back then was indeed Confucianism's guilt, but the fault was not Confucianism, it can only be said that the situation is not up to people, this is the trend of the times, and Confucianism can only conform to the trend of heaven. ”

Zhao Di laughed and said: "It's a good one to conform to the trend of the sky, and now this king wants to act against the sky again, what should you do?"

Although Zhao Di did not have any grief and indignation for Zhao He's death, but now he needs to act with the help of Zhao He, the dead ghost father's righteousness, and naturally he has to show a resentment for the son of man.

Fan Wenzheng didn't seem to be much shocked by Zhao Di's rebellious heart, and said very calmly: "If you act against the sky, you can make the Great Song Dynasty strong, and the lower officials are willing to attach the prince Jiwei." ”

When Zhao Di heard this, his eyes suddenly froze, staring at Fan Wenzheng's peaceful gaze, as if he wanted to see through his heart from Fan Wenzheng's eyes, and stared at the other party for a few seconds before nodding slightly and said: "Okay, this king believes that Wen Zhenggong's words come from his heart, and I also hope that Wen Zhenggong can remember this words." ”

After saying this, Zhao Di directly flicked his sleeves and said, "Say, what do you want to do when you let this king come over this time?"

Fan Wen was not in a hurry in the face of Zhao Di's aggressive gaze, and at this time, in the face of Zhao Di's reprimand, he was also neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The prince killed Ding Yi, the city lord of Tianwei City, and there are also a number of officials sent by the court to inquire about Ding Yi's interference with the people's taxation, and the lower officials came to ask the prince for an explanation on behalf of the court." ”

"Oh, ask this king for an explanation, this king still wants to ask the court for an explanation? Why did the imperial court break into this king's mansion repeatedly, did Zhao Di cut this king's royal family genealogy or did he go to Zongzheng Temple first to give this king a fake genealogy?
