Chapter 59

"If Lord Ye can get the teaching of Lord Wang Anshi, it will be a blessing, the emperor still respects Lord Wang very much, although the change failed, but Lord Wang is still a good official" Lord Yin didn't seem to see Lord Ye's eyes for help, took a sip of tea, and said slowly. [No pop-ups. 】

Lord Ye's face suddenly fell, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by a loud voice, "I didn't expect Lord Yin to be able to figure out the holy will, it really opened the eyes of this king."

Everyone looked up, their faces changed, it turned out that King Wu Rong was coming, Chen Qiaoqiao was even more stunned, this King Wu Rong, what is he doing here

King Wu Rong looked at the surprised Chen Qiaoqiao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a hint of a smile, this woman, finally something that surprised her Since he knew that Chen Qiaoqiao was Chen Wei's widow, he ordered someone to secretly investigate, and he also knew everything about the Chen family, and also found that she had some friendship with the hottest but mysterious character now, Lord Yin, which made him very puzzled, so he decided to see what happened in person.

A group of people hurriedly knelt down and saluted, King Wu Rong didn't care, "Everyone, please get up, this king just heard that Mrs. Chen set up a banquet, so he thought about coming to eat, Mrs. Chen won't mind" Chen Qiaoqiao's heart was very confused, she didn't know what King Wu Rong's idea was, why she didn't want to pester her, and it didn't seem to be for the five hundred taels of silver, so why

But there was an extremely bright smile on his face, "King Wu Rong can come to the cold house, it is really a good thing that you can't ask for it, how dare you mind"

Because King Wu Rong came, the throne was let out. Hu Feng and Ye Wanrong had never seen such a big man at all, they were so nervous that they couldn't handle themselves, and they didn't even know how to place their hands and feet.

King Wu Rong sat on the top, opened the feather fan in his hand gracefully, and said very chicly: "This king has to urge, and he has not prepared any gifts, this pair of golden Buddhas will be given to Mrs. to play" As soon as the words fell, there were already attendants who brought up a pair of small golden Buddhas, which were exquisitely carved, lifelike, and brilliant

Chen Qiaoqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, it's not that she loves money, it's really in the Great Song Dynasty that the purchasing power of this gold is very great, this pair of golden Buddhas don't know how much land they can buy Look at the face of this gold, Chen Qiaoqiao's smile is a little sincere, "The prince is really generous, how can this concubine be able to afford the concubine, if he knows how to hold a banquet and receive what kind of expensive gifts, he will already sing every night."

When Lord Yin heard this, the corners of his mouth touched slightly, and his brows furrowed, how does this Chen Qiaoqiao know if she can say such words as a widow Wu Rongwang smiled heartily, but glanced at Lord Ye who was standing respectfully on the side, "This is"

Lord Ye didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy today, and he could still see King Wu Rong, which was a big bargain, this King Wu Rong was rich and couldn't make friends, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down, "Xiaguan Ye Xin, I was fortunate to see the prince's respectful face, I was really ecstatic The prince is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix among the people, and his bearing is extraordinary, just like a fairy" This sycophant is really too much, Chen Qiaoqiao almost vomited when she heard it, although this King Wu Rong is also a little beautiful, but it is not like an immortal, Chen Qiaoqiao thought secretly, it seems to be compared with Song Zimo, is slightly inferior in appearance, but the royal son has his innate momentum.

King Wu Rong hummed noncommittally, he was already surprised by such beautiful words, but he didn't talk to Lord Ye again, but pointed the finger at Lord Yin, "Just now this king heard Lord Yin say that the emperor has great respect for Wang Anshi, how did this king hear that the emperor was quite disgusted with him" After saying that, he looked at Lord Yin sharply.

King Wu Rong was very dissatisfied with this silver lord, this figure who came out of nowhere did not know the origin and name at all, but he was highly valued by the emperor, and the emperor even allowed him to go to court with a sword, and this trust was probably not enjoyed by his imperial brother. Moreover, after this Lord Yin returned to Beijing, he punished several officials who were all powerful figures under King Wu Rong, which made him feel a crisis, whether this person was used by the emperor to deal with his right and left hands

Because Empress Dowager Gao favored King Wu Rong, the current emperor is also very jealous of King Wu Rong. Although there is a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.

Chen Qiaoqiao has studied history, and the failure of this Wang Anshi's change of law has a great connection with this Empress Dowager Gao and King Wu Rong, no wonder he will be hostile to Lord Yin who speaks out to defend Wang Anshi.

The so-called new deal is difficult, although Yuanfeng reform and reform of the law won victory in the previous stage, but the attack of the old forces has not stopped, especially with the gradual deepening of the reform, the more serious the interests of the big landlords and big businessmen are touched, the more fierce the attack of the old forces.

Under these circumstances, Shenzong began to sway from side to side, hoping to maintain the new policy while balancing the forces of various factions. In the spring of the seventh year of Xining, there was a severe drought and there was no rain for a long time, and the old conservative forces inside and outside the DPRK once again set off a siege on the change of law under the pretext of "natural changes". This siege was supported by Empress Cao of Renzong, Empress Gao, and Empress Shenzong of Shenzong. The participation of relatives led by the Empress Dowager Cao to oppose the change of law cannot but have a huge impact on Shenzong, this is because Yingzong and Shenzong are not the heirs of Renzong, and it is only because Renzong has no children that Yingzong was elected as the crown prince and finally inherited the throne, so Empress Cao of Renzong and Empress Gao, the mother of Shenzong, have a greater deterrent power against Shenzong.

The Divine Sect began to waver. When Wang Anshi refuted the so-called "heavenly change" reasoning, Shenzong no longer listened to Wang Anshi's explanation that "the heavenly change is not enough to fear", on the contrary, he believed that the "heavenly change" was not a trivial matter, but was caused by the failure to repair personnel. From the close ministers to the descendants, all of them are harmful. The two palaces wept and worried that the Beijing division was in turmoil, thinking that the drought was even more unpopular."

In April, Shenzong finally wept again after Empress Cao and Empress Gao, crying that "Anshi is chaotic in the world", dismissed Wang Anshixiang and changed his knowledge to Jiangning Mansion, causing the reform to suffer a setback. In February of the eighth year of Xining, Shenzong re-employed Wang Anshi, but with the strengthening of the power of the old school and the differences of opinion within the reform faction, the degree of trust of Shenzong in Wang Anshi was greatly reduced. In the ninth year of Xining, a comet appeared in the sky, and the old school criticized the change with "heavenly changes", and the Divine Sect was even more shaken. He said to Wang Anshi: "I heard the new law of the people's suffering." In October, Wang Anshi had to ask for resignation and sentence Jiangning Mansion.

The reason why the queen mother of the two palaces is so stubborn has a lot to do with the promotion of King Wu Rong

Lord Yin said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The emperor has often thought about it recently: The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me." The lower officials speculated about the emperor's longing for Lord Wang Anshi, but it was really the lower officials' no, King Wu Rong was the emperor's beloved brother, so he naturally understood the emperor's thoughts."

As soon as these words were spoken, King Wu Rong's face was a little wrong, and his imperial brother was not as good as Lord Yin who knew the emperor's thoughts

Of course, Chen Qiaoqiao saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly played a round, "Hey, since I'm here to be a guest at Chen's house, don't talk about those things in the court, come on, come on, everyone sit down for a while, Hu Feng, you go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready, if it's good, you can serve it."

After speaking, he made a look, this Hu Fengsheng was in the Shangjia family, and he still had this bit of eyesight, so he hurriedly went to urge. King Wu Rong didn't want to say anything more, and after a while, the food was served, and as all kinds of dishes were put on the table, King Wu Rong was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that this Chen Mansion is also a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and there are such good cooks, and the dishes of these eight major cuisines are complete."

Lord Yin was also a little surprised, when did the Chen family have such a powerful cook, but Wang Duo smiled and said: "This is all Mrs. Chen's craftsmanship came back to the Chen family as a guest, and she almost didn't eat her tongue, Mrs. Chen's cooking skills are really unique."

Hearing someone compliment, Chen Qiaoqiao naturally showed a smug look, "Lord Wang has won the award, but it is just a small skill of carving insects, which is really not worth mentioning."

King Wu Rong couldn't help but be surprised, "I didn't expect Mrs. Chen's knowledge to be so extensive, even the famous dishes of the eight major cuisines can be cooked" "It is the late husband's extensive knowledge, he described all the famous dishes he has eaten to the concubine, and the concubine tried to make them, and I don't know if I can eat them" It is not the first time that the dead ghost Chen Wei has been a shield, Chen Qiaoqiao is becoming more and more handy, and her face does not change.

Lord Silver frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. Because there are distinguished guests, women are not allowed to accompany guests, Hu Feng and Ye Wanrong have retreated, but Chen Qiaoqiao is the initiator of this banquet, of course she has to stay with the guests.

King Wu Rong took a bite of the fried chicken, and immediately praised it, "Delicious and tender, fragrant teeth and cheeks, good, really good, this king will go back to the imperial dining room to make this fried chicken" Wang Duo was even more full of oil, but Lord Yin was amazed and suspicious, when did this Chen learn such a skill

"Madam, Miss is back" Yoko's voice came from afar, and Si Zuo and Si You jumped in, their faces full of joy. When I walked to the front hall, I was a little embarrassed to find so many people. "Si Zuo Si Zuo is back, is it fun in this school Mr. Liu, do you have anything to say" Don't say it, I haven't seen them for most of the day, and I really miss them a little these days. Chen Qiaoqiao and Si Zuo Si are always inseparable, and it has slowly become Chen Qiaoqiao's habit.

Si Zuo and Si You looked at a room of people timidly, not knowing how to answer, Chen Qiaoqiao smiled, "Silly boy, what are you afraid of, Uncle Yin and Uncle Wang, you haven't seen it, that one is the prince, he has a lot of power, you should be careful"
