Chapter 208: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

It is impossible for Sima Guang to watch Wang Anshi resist this alone, he is also clear about the power of the seal of the Son of Heaven in the air, Wang Anshi even destroyed the official seal in the battle of Tianwei City, he fought against Li Kui with his bare hands, it is definitely life or death, at most, there is a chance to fight with Li Kui to the same end, how can this Sima Guang agree.

Wang Anshi's talent and talent, Sima Guang who has been his colleague over the years is very admired, and even a little bit of his idol worship, in Sima Guang's view, the entire Great Song Dynasty can do without those old ministers who support Zhao Di to ascend to the throne, and it must not be without Wang Anshi, otherwise the entire Great Song Dynasty is likely to collapse directly, because over the years, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty can be sorted out clearly because of Wang Anshi, the financial leader, and it is also able to maintain the slow development of the Great Song Dynasty under the weight of the Three Kingdoms.

The Great Song Dynasty is moving forward with a heavy load, although the steps are not big, but after all, it is recovering and improving, if Wang Anshi is lost as a pillar, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, it may usher in the danger of instant collapse.

How could Sima Guang be willing to let this happen, so he had to protect Wang Anshi, and it was precisely out of this kind of public consideration, so even though he knew that his intervention might provoke Zhao Di's revenge, he still stood up firmly.

"Old man, do you want to be an enemy of my lord?"

Seeing that he shook out the things that Zhao Di handed over to him, and those courtiers really stopped, Li Kui couldn't help but feel very proud in his heart, he was able to show his face in front of a group of high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and even stopped these high-ranking officials with a word, and the comfort in his heart was simply indescribable.

When he was proud, he didn't expect Sima Guang to stand up and destroy the atmosphere, how could he bear this kind of thing, of course he scolded loudly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little old man just wants to talk to King Di, so please wait a while. In the face of Li Kui's rude reprimand, Sima Guang was not angry, but was very calm, and even said in a low voice.

"Talk to my prince? Heh, what do you want to talk about with my prince, this guy is bent on killing my prince, my prince has been low-key since he came to Bianjingxing, and he has been low-key to stay in Tianwei City without leaving the gate, just like this, you dog officials in the court are also with bad stomach one by one, and they come to the door again and again to assassinate, you touch your conscience to see, won't your conscience hurt, what a good person my prince is, you all change the law every day to harm him, it's just a group of dog officials who have lost their conscience!"

This is also what Zhao Di told Li Kui, as long as he has time, he will try his best to accuse the ministers of the DPRK and China of assassinating him.

Sima Guang obviously didn't expect that he just said that he wanted to talk to Zhao Di, Li Kui was able to scold all their officials with his throat, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still said calmly: "The strong man is merciful, and regardless of the identity of the little old man, just say that the little old man is at least one round older than you, is it too disrespectful for you to scold the old man in front of you like this." ”

"Cao, you are old and reasonable, why didn't you think that you were old when you hid at home and crossed your fingers to assassinate my prince!"

Belch!

Sima Guang found that Li Kui's goods were simply an unscrupulous master, and reasoning didn't work for this goods at all, so he could only say: "Don't talk about anything else, Xiao Lao'er just wants a little time to communicate with King Di." ”

Here Li Kui is a little embarrassed to make things difficult for this old man who has no temper, after all, people have always been kind, and Li Kui is originally a dick mentality, don't look at him shouting so much, but as a local native of this world, the psychology of seeing officials and being three points short has long been rooted in their hearts since childhood.

If they can be kind to you, then you may have to be grateful from the bottom of your heart.

Although Li Kui was not grateful to Sima Guang from the bottom of his heart, his natural psychological weakness still made him unable to refuse in his heart when facing Sima Guang's kindness.

If he is facing the kind of arrogant and domineering master, Li Kui will definitely dare to step forward without any scruples by taking advantage of Zhao Di's might, but he will be a little helpless in the face of the amiable Sima Guang.

However, Sima Guang's humility made Wang Anshi unhappy, especially when he knew that Sima Guang was doing this for him.

Wang Anshi is not afraid of death, and the stubbornness in his heart has already risen, so seeing Sima Guang's humble attitude in the face of Li Kui, the anger in his chest was directly detonated, and he waved his hand directly to Sima Guang and said: "Junshi, you don't need to say much, I, Wang Anshi, have never bowed my head to anyone, and you don't have to bow to anyone for me, because in that case, not only will I not thank you, but I will hate you and make me Wang Anshi give up the bottom line." ”

Sima Guang saw Wang Anshi's resolute expression, he frowned slightly and said: "Jiefu, you can't just give up the Great Song Dynasty, if there is someone who can give it hope at this time, then I think only you, if the Great Song Dynasty loses you at this time, then I will be desperate, because I can't see a little hope." ”

This is Sima Guang's pessimistic state, because over the years, he has seen that only Wang Anshi in the entire Great Song Dynasty can make it move forward, and he thinks in his heart that the Great Song Dynasty has lost Wang Anshi as a pillar, and he can't help but fall into despair in his heart.

Seeing the fear and despair in Sima Guang's eyes, Wang Anshi's rock-solid heart couldn't help but ripple, and he suddenly felt that his efforts over the years had not been in vain, at least when he was in a desperate situation, there was still one person who stood up for himself, and another person recognized his efforts, and he was definitely an indispensable existence in the Great Song Dynasty.

As long as there is this person who stands firmly by his side and recognizes himself, then Wang Anshi feels that he has not come to this world in vain.

When Wang Anshi saw the ministers stop, he also had some realization in his heart, it turned out that his efforts over the years were not as important as what they said in the eyes of these people, and those words were just flattery.

Especially Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, and Fu Bi, the three old-timers, didn't stand up to say a word for themselves in this situation, just stood not far away in a daze and watched themselves confront Li Kui, and the previous praise suddenly seemed so ridiculous.

I have always thought that I am really the indispensable pillar of the Great Song Dynasty as they said, but now that I think about it, I seem to have been moved by the flattery of these years, and I feel that I am really the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is revolving around me.

Haha, that's a ridiculous idea.
