Chapter 214: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

Zhao Di asked Guo Xiaosi to arrange for Wang Anshi to go to the study to meet, and Sima Guang also followed him to the study to wait, only to see Wang Anshi carrying a large handful of thorns and came in like that, and when he saw Zhao Di, he knelt down and kowtowed directly and said: "The guilty minister Wang Anshi visited King Di, and he offended the prince a lot before, and asked King Di for forgiveness!"

Zhao Di looked indifferently at Wang Anshi, who was kneeling and bowing his head, and said with a cold smile: "Heh, do you think that you can get the king's forgiveness in this way? Tell me, why do you have to see this king today?"

Although he saw Zhao Di's indifferent face, as if he was not moved by his guilt, Wang Anshi still knelt on the ground calmly and said: "The reason why An Shi wants to meet the prince in person is to ask for the reckless behavior before, and secondly, he wants to surrender to the prince, and ask the prince to take in An Shi regardless of his previous suspicions. ”

"Huh?" Although Zhao Di had already speculated in his heart, he was still slightly surprised when he heard Wang Anshi's words, you must know that this person is a well-known reluctance and a strong will, no one in the world can shake it, and it is still very rewarding to be able to obtain the loyalty of this kind of person.

However, Zhao Di is not the kind of fool who is easy to forget, although he saw that Wang Anshi's face had a sincere expression, but how could he believe that Wang Anshi would suddenly surrender to him, and glanced slightly sideways at Sima Guang, who was silently describing the meeting between himself and Wang Anshi, and saw that Sima Guang was doing his own thing seriously without squinting, and he didn't seem to care at all about Wang Anshi's surrender, and the expression on his face was not shocked, so he had more speculations in his heart.

After Zhao Di groaned slightly, he said: "You used to kill this king without sparing your life, and now you suddenly show that you want to surrender to this king, how can this king believe you?"

If Wang Anshi was really willing to surrender to himself, Zhao Di would naturally be welcome, but Wang Anshi's change was too sudden, so Zhao Di had to guard against it.

Although Zhao Di is confident that he can hold down Wang Anshi, he will not underestimate Wang Anshi, if Wang Anshi is a fraud, he still needs to be distracted to monitor it, so it is better not to.

At this time, Zhao Di directly threw the question back, but wanted to see how Wang Anshi responded.

For people like Wang Anshi, Zhao Di will not underestimate, but he will not pay too much attention to it, if there is no Sima Guang to surrender, Zhao Di may urgently need Wang Anshi, but now that he has Sima Guang in his hand, then Wang Anshi's surrender or not is not so urgent for Zhao Di, so Zhao Di must let Wang Anshi give himself a condition that he cannot refuse before accepting him.

Wang Anshi arched his hand and said: "The lower officials have a plan to help the prince deal with Wen Yanbo." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Di's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he was naturally a little moved, you must know that Wen Yanbo's current status in the Great Song Dynasty is something that no one can shake, and even Zhao Di is afraid that he will give him three points, and now Wang Anshi actually said that there is a way to deal with him, how could Zhao Di not be interested, but Zhao Di is not a person who is led by the nose by others, his face suddenly changed, and he stared at Wang Anshi with fierce eyes and said:" If you can really get rid of the old thief, then the king will believe you, otherwise, the king will see you playing the king, then when the time comes, we will calculate the new and old accounts together, and the king will kill you, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't stop it. ”

Wang Anshi faced the threat in Zhao Di's eyes, his face remained unchanged, and he arched his hand very calmly: "The lower official is willing to be the pawn of the prince, but Wen Yanbo is powerful in the court, so the lower official needs the help of the prince, so that the lower official can be sure to get rid of the Wen Party line." ”

"Oh, how do you want this king to help you?" Zhao Di looked at Wang Anshi with a playful expression, obviously he didn't quite believe Wang Anshi's words.

Wang Anshi didn't seem to see the change in Zhao Di's expression, and still said with a serious face: "The lower official needs a letter from the prince, and directly goes up to the lower official to murder the prince, and at the same time, he also needs the prince to match the gap between me and King An." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's that simple!"

"Okay, this condition is agreed to by the king. Zhao Di wanted to see how Wang Anshi could bring down Wen Yanbo with these two simple conditions, anyway, he didn't believe that Wang Anshi could bring down Wen Yanbo with such two simple conditions, if Wen Yanbo was so easy to be knocked down, then he would not be able to stand above the court for so many years.

Sima Guang, who had been carefully taking notes next to him, finally couldn't help but glance up at Wang Anshi, obviously, he was also a little incredulous about Wang Anshi's condition.

Wang Anshi kowtowed with a serious face and said, "Thank you for your success." ”

Zhao Di waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, if there is nothing else, just step down!" After speaking, he directly brushed his sleeves and got up to leave.

Wang Anshi knelt on the ground and kowtowed again, Zhao Di walked to the door and paused slightly, turned around and glanced at Wang Anshi, who had a calm face, and saw that the other party really had no other conditions, so he turned around and left directly.

Seeing Zhao Di's figure disappear into the courtyard, Sima Guang turned around and looked at Wang Anshi, who had already gotten up from the ground, his brows twisted into a Sichuan shape, and his face was full of sorrow and said: "Do you have to do this? Why can't you put aside your prejudices and work together as before? Didn't everyone get along very well before?"

Wang Anshi shook his head slightly and said, "Once some things start, there is no possibility of turning back. Junshi, you should write your historical records with peace of mind, don't get involved in these bad things, I hope we won't go to the opposite side in the future!" Saying that, Wang Anshi patted Sima Guang's shoulder slightly and strode away directly.

Zhao Di didn't believe that Wang Anshi could bring down Wen Yanbo with his own letter, but Sima Guang knew the means of his old friend, once he was targeted by his old friend, Wen Yanbo and these old foxes might not be able to play with him, so he looked at the back of Wang Anshi leaving, and his face became a little more sad.

After Zhao Di left the study, he directly held his sunglasses and interrogated Shi Qian, and directly ordered him to send someone to contact King An, so that King An could send someone to contact Wang Anshi, and inform Wang Anshi that he had something to discuss with him, and then he quickly drafted a note to impeach Wang Anshi.

Although Zhao Di didn't believe in the conditions Wang Anshi said, he still wanted to see what Wang Anshi's methods were.

Zhao Di's side was already ready to take action against Wen Yanbo, but now that Wang Anshi suddenly took the initiative to deal with Wen Yanbo, Zhao Di had to temporarily press his own action and take a look at the situation on Wang Anshi's side first.
