Chapter 272: Tongue Battle Wang Anshi
At the royal banquet on August 14, there were only four people, the new emperor Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, the new Ping'an prince Yang Hu, the prime minister Wang Anshi and the editor-in-chief of the "Qualification Tongjian" Sima Guang, because Zhao Ji used all the ministers of Song Yingzong, so it is understandable that he brought two confidant ministers to accompany the wine, everyone understands etiquette very well, Sima Guang first introduced the day's itinerary, Yang Hu asked after listening, "What are my activities?", "As in previous years, accompany the emperor to worship the ancestral temple", Wang Anshi replied.
The very harmonious dinner was broken by Wang Anshi, "Xiao Yang Wangye, in February after the new year, with the approval of the emperor, a new policy will be implemented, Xiao Yang Wangye, while the emperor is here, I will talk about the content roughly, let's discuss it with the three of us", Yang Hu and Sima Guang's eyes widened at the same time, "This is the one he is singing?", Yang Hu asked, "How many people know about this matter and have seen the new French manuscript?", "At present, there are only the emperor and Weichen himself", Wang Anshi just finished speaking, Yang Hu then asked, " Excuse me, did Prime Minister Wang Cheng ask the emperor before he said that?", "Do you still want to ask for instructions on this little thing?", Yang Hu didn't mean to be unhappy at all, but smiled, "Come, let's finish this glass of wine first, let me first analyze what Prime Minister Wang Cheng said just now, how about Lord Sima finally add?", "Okay, Lord Wang, please first", Sima Guang agreed suddenly, because he knew that the young man was a person who had read through the "General Guide to Qualifications" in a short time, and today he also took this opportunity to see his true level.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang, Lord Sima, then I will start, please forgive me for what I said wrongly, first say that Wang Cheng's title to this king, called this Wang Xiaoyang Wangye, may I ask the Prime Minister, the first Wang Renzong was less than thirteen years old when he ascended the throne, if Prime Minister Wang was in office at that time, above the court, would the Prime Minister call the first Wang Renzong Xiao Zhao Emperor? Wang Anshi's cold sweat came out, and began to fall down one by one, and then asked Prime Minister Wang, is this king a royal person? Lord Sima, please tell Prime Minister Wang that if you openly insult the people of the royal family, especially in front of the emperor, do you insult even the emperor? So according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, what should be done?", Sima Guang was amused when he heard it, but the emperor was angry, but he did not speak, "The laws of the Great Song Dynasty, openly insulting the people of the royal family, degrading to concubines, openly insulting the emperor, punishing the nine clans", Sima Guang immediately gave the answer.
Wang Anshi knew that the disaster was big, and immediately knelt in front of Yang Hu, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy, the emperor hated iron but not steel, and Sima Guang was secretly refreshed, because he had long been unaccustomed to the arrogance of this old friend, Yang Hu ignored Wang Anshi, but ate and drank with Song Shenzong Zhao Ji and Sima Guang, and when Wang Anshi was covered with blood, Yang Hu spoke again," The emperor is the lord of a country, the prime minister does not ask the emperor, but begs me, the prince, may I ask, does the prime minister have no emperor in his eyes, or do you want to sue the emperor, and sue the king can already refer to the deer as a horse, and he will usurp the throne in the coming year?", Wang Anshi rolled his eyes, and he was gorgeous and unawake. Sima Guang edited the "Qualification Tongjian", what was most lacking was this kind of material, and immediately knelt down towards the emperor, "Your Majesty, in order to edit the "Qualification Tongjian", the minister needs to listen to the prince's accurate analysis of other words, please ask the emperor for permission", said kowtow, in fact, Song Shenzong himself wanted to hear it, so he smiled and looked at Yang Hu, Yang Hu also smiled and nodded.
The three of them drank a few more glasses of wine, and Yang Hu began a new round of analysis, "This second sentence, there are also a few inappropriate, the emperor and Lord Sima think about it, without the emperor's consent, do you make your own claim to disclose state secrets to outsiders, is this itself two more crimes? One is the crime of contempt for the emperor, and the other is the crime of leaking state secrets?", after speaking, the three of them ate and drank for a while, and Yang Hu continued, " At the beginning of the establishment of Wolf State, my father had asked the former Emperor Renzong for two holy decrees, the second is that the people of Wolf State are not recorded in the historical records, and this first holy decree is the descendants of Yang Jiulang of my Wolf State, not allowed to go out, not involved in the government, unless it is related to the safety of the country, but can only give secret state help, Prime Minister Wang Cheng chose me, the newly appointed King of Ping'an, to openly discuss state affairs, or do it in front of the emperor, is this to tell the world and the emperor, my wolf state has been violating the edict of the first king, began to ask about politics? After hearing this, I was chilled, so calculating and provoking my Wolf State, according to the laws of Wolf State, three days of flash, my Wolf State soldiers must first destroy their nine clans, and then report to the emperor, and the laws of Wolf Prefecture are the first Wang Renzong's personal examination and approval, but there is the approval of the first king and the jade seal of the Great Song Dynasty, may I ask, these five sins add up, how many nine clans can he Wang Cheng's family be guilty?", just woke up Wang Anshi heard Yang Hu's words, and fainted again.
Yang Hu said the analysis, but in fact, it was telling people the consequences of provoking Wolf State, Song Shen Song secretly scolded Wang Anshi, who had no brains, but Yang Hu in front of him didn't give an inch, and didn't know how to end, so he looked at Sima Guang for help, Sima Guang immediately knelt in front of Yang Hu, "Ask the prince to spare Prime Minister Wang", kowtow, Yang Hu immediately pulled up Sima Guang and smiled at the emperor, "How can I, Yang Hu, be the one who cares?" Otherwise, I, the newly appointed little prince, will be sat down to participate in politics, and it will not be beneficial to the emperor, to the wolf state, or to the prime minister of the king, why should this king do things that harm others and hurt himself? It's just that I really can't see his great disrespect for the emperor, so the emperor just taught him a lesson, and the best way to deal with it now is that I will leave ahead of time after I finish talking about business, and as for how the emperor cleans him up in private, it is not the king's business." , After speaking, I really said goodbye in advance. After this incident, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and even the emperor never provoked Wolf State in their lives.
After Yang Jiulang sacrificed to his ancestors, he went directly to Yangjiazhai, and returned to Wolf Prefecture with 15.2 million taels of silver tickets, including the private money of the three old men, looking at Diao Yuzhu's letter and her marriage certificate, touching the silver tickets of 3.2 million taels and a hundred rare pearls, tears fell down one by one, and his mind was full of the words passed by Yang Lu, "I carve the eldest lady Diao Yuzhu, and I want to marry Yang Hu, the prince of peace, empty-handed." , such pride, such openness, such courage,,, makes Yang Hu really feel that on the road of his future life, he is not struggling alone, Diao Yuzhu will accompany him to face all the wind and rain together, Diao Yuzhu's strong love warms Yang Hu's heart, he is a little intoxicated, Yang Lu handed over a glass of wine, Yang Hu drank it, wiped a handful of tears, and smiled at Yang Lu, "Let the sixth brother laugh", "If you don't cry, I will really look down on you", the two laughed.
