It is not easy to live in Beijing.

Although the salaries of officials in the Great Song Dynasty were high, real estate was even more expensive.

There are many people who have become prime ministers and are still living in rented houses, such as Wang Anshi.

It's not that Cao Bin is stingy with money and unwilling to help, it's just that some people have a spiritual cleanliness habit, and it is difficult to get along with them when they have financial connections.

Cao Bin is not a person who only knows how to throw money to win people's hearts, so he just secretly ordered someone to buy the house rented by Wang Anshi and rent it out at a low price.

On this day, as soon as Wang Anshi returned from Zhang Dian, he received a holy decree from the imperial court to promote him.

After sending off the envoy of the imperial court, seeing Wang Anshi holding the holy decree and laughing, everyone in the Wang family looked at each other, and the second son of the Wang family said:

"When the first emperor was here, he summoned his father to the court twice, but his old man insisted on refusing it."

"Now that there is the support of Wei Guogong, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the prime minister, why should he be so out of shape?"

The prince of the royal family gave his younger brother a blank look:

"Father, this is laughing for the ambition of the country!"

When Wang Anshi heard this, he glanced at his son appreciatively and said excitedly:

"The Patriotic Princesses live up to me, the time to change the law has finally arrived!"

"Strengthening the country, strengthening the army, and enriching the people is today!"

The daughter, who was standing beside her mother, was a little worried:

"Father, my daughter has participated in a lot of literary meetings during this time, and I heard some people say that Wei Guogong is a treacherous and slippery person, and he is not as loyal and good."

"Now that I am doing my best to support my father, will there be a bad plan?"

Wang Anshi waved his hand and said:

"Hugh wants to listen to those people's nonsense, Wei Guogong can use his wealth and wealth to promote the ambition of changing the law and strengthening the country, this is really a hero."

"I have been a father and eunuch for many years, and I have watched all the princes in the court, and those who have this courage and wisdom are the only ones who defend the country."

Although he also admired the changes of Fan Wenzheng, Fu Bi, Han Qi and others, he always felt that they were just raising the soup to stop the boiling and scratching the itch in their boots.

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly moved, and he asked:

"Who are you listening to all this?"

Seeing that his daughter was embarrassed, he frowned and turned around twice and said:

"It seems that some people can't sit still anymore, go back and write a list to come out, so that your father can remind Wei Guogong to take more precautions."

After instructing his daughter, he was about to go back to the study, but was stopped by his wife, who pulled out a young woman from behind him with a smile and said:

"Official, what do you think of this little lady?"

Wang Anshi glanced at the woman ignorantly, frowned and said:

"Young and beautiful, still knowing etiquette, what else?"

His wife Wu glanced at him, covered her mouth and smiled:

"This is the concubine I bought for the official, so I'll use it today."

Wang Anshi glanced at his wife in annoyance, raised his feet and left:

"My old wife, I have no guesses with you, how can I tolerate others at home? Hurry up and send it away. ”

Wu Shi hurriedly grabbed him and said angrily:

"You are now the prime minister, how can there be no concubines at home, let people see jokes."

"Besides, her family is a criminal officer, where do you let me go?"

Wang Anshi was pulled by his wife and couldn't get out, so he stomped his feet irritably, begging for mercy:

"My old wife, I'm busy writing a chapter and proposing a reform to the imperial court, how can I be in the mood to take a concubine?"

As he spoke, he looked at the poor young woman, and seemed to feel pity in his heart, so he had to ask:

"Which woman are you and what happened to your family?"

The woman hurriedly said:

"My father is the head of the former trial lawsuit, because of his relationship with the Marquis of Yangzhou, bad, bad Huaidong Yanzheng, has been punished by the imperial court and sent ......"

Wang Anshi also knew about this, and soon after Cao Bin returned to Beijing for a coup, he handed over the salt case in Huaidong to Kaifeng Mansion.

Through these days' covert visits, Kaifeng Prefecture has seized the subordinates sent by the Marquis of Yangzhou to Beijing to contact and help, and has searched out the list of his comrades in the court.

With the exception of some lesser charges that require careful consideration, most of the party officials have already been convicted.

Speaking of this, the woman stared at Wang Anshi worriedly, and had already begun to wipe her tears.

If the new prime minister doesn't accept her, she will end up as an official prostitute, but if she is not good, she will be sent as a camp prostitute, and she will completely fall into the abyss.

Although this prince looks unkempt and doesn't seem to like bathing, which is a bit unacceptable, it is still 10,000 times better than being a prostitute.

Wang Anshi pondered for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and said happily:

"Give it to Wei Guogong, Wei Guogong...... I like beauty, and I am generous to my subordinates, even if I don't get into the room, I guess it won't make your life too difficult! ”

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, his wife Wu was a little distressed and said:

"It took me more than 100 times......"

The daughter of the Wang family was already leaving, and she was a little speechless when she heard this, and she said that Wei Guogong is really heroic, it turns out that she is also a pervert in your heart......

On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Xuanping, Wang Anshi played the "Emperor's Words and Affairs", bitterly Chen Xiandi's various malpractices during the reign of Emperor Xian, and proposed that the imperial court change the law and reform the system.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Empress Dowager Pan summoned Wang Anshi and important ministers into the palace to ask about the pros and cons of the current law of the imperial court.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Wang Anshi wrote "A Hundred Years of Nothing to Do in this Dynasty", which discussed in detail the evolution and influence of the legal system and national politics of this dynasty.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Empress Dowager Pan had clearly shown her support for the reform, so she summoned the important ministers of the court again to discuss in detail Wang Anshi's proposal and feasibility of the reform.

Cao Bin recognized Empress Dowager Pan's caution, and the policy of such a big country is not something that can be changed.

Even if he has some advanced knowledge, he can't guarantee that the change will be perfect.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Empress Dowager Pan discussed with several important ministers for a whole day, and even lunch was settled in the palace, and only when the sky was already dark did she let them leave the palace.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Wen Yanbo caught up with Kou Zhun of the Zhiyuan and asked:

"Does Kou Zhiyuan think that the seedling law, the farmland water conservancy law, and the city law are feasible?"

Kou Zhun groaned for a moment, shook his head and said:

"It's difficult, Wang Jiefu is too eager for quick success, his original intention may be good, but people's hearts are difficult to control, and it is not easy to implement!"

Hearing him say this, Wen Yanbo sneered and commented:

"I don't think his original intention is good, my Great Song Dynasty is to rule the world with scholars, not with the people."

"In my opinion, if this law is really implemented, if my Great Song Dynasty dies in the future, it will begin in Anshi ......"

As he spoke, he looked at Kou Zhun's expression and continued:

"Without the support of the Duke of Weiguo, how dare Wang Jiefu take such a risky strategy?"

"Kou Zhiyuan, don't you think that the power of the Patriotic Public is too heavy? It's a good time! ”

Kou Zhun gave him a strange look, shook his head and smiled:

"Master Wen, you haven't been in the court for a long time, I don't know how slippery and shrewd Cao Bin is, he has the ambition to change the law, why did he push Wang Jiefu out? And don't say a word today? ”

"That kid has always liked to use others to wade into the water for his own benefit, if you want to calculate him in this way, be careful......"

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wen Yanbo and left quickly.

Fueling the fire, borrowing knives to kill people and falling into the well has always been the usual means of these old fritters, and it is not surprising that Wen Yanbo saw the opportunity to change the law and had the intention of bringing down Cao Bin.

Even Cao Bin's disciples may not have this kind of thought, and the people who fall into the well are unpredictable and difficult to stop.

However, Cao Bin pushed Wang Anshi out, I am afraid that he had already taken precautions, how could he be so easily pulled into the water?

Looking at Kou Zhun's departing figure, Wen Yanbo snorted coldly and said:

"Such a change, the Great Song Dynasty will die at the hands of the other party sooner or later, King Cao is a sinner, this official wants to try, when Qianfu points out, can he Cao Bin withstand the heavy pressure and retreat with his whole body......"
