Chapter 242: The Edict of the First King

Since Wang Anshi has been called Prime Minister Wang by Bao Zheng, Yang Jiulang knew that his retirement was successful, because he was the one who gave Bao Zheng the idea and asked him to recommend Wang Anshi, and as his best friend, Sima Guang accompanied Wang Anshi to thank him.

And when the two returned to their seats, the banquet began, for Yang Jiulang's talent, loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, the creation and defense of Wolf Prefecture and other legends, both of them were extremely admired, and Yang Jiulang's fascination with the two great literature and great politicians began from reading the works of the two in the textbooks of school, so the three of them had the intention of deep friendship, and the wine was also drunk.

"I am very grateful to Master Bao for his recommendation to my little nephew, and I came with Brother Sima Guang today, just to thank you in person", after speaking, the two brothers left the banquet and came to Bao Zheng, and respectfully bowed, Bao Zheng did not push, accepted it calmly, and after the two got up and sat down, they drank a few glasses of wine and opened their mouths.

"Actually, there is another thing you should be thankful for, it was he who recommended Prime Minister Wang Cheng to me first, and I agreed without thinking about it, this person is Yang Jiulang, the prince of peace who is at the same table with us", Bao Zheng's words made the two of them listen in a daze, and then they were very excited,

"Being able to enter the face of the prince of peace, the emperor's natural face is very big, no wonder when he wakes up this time, Wang Anshi will become the prime minister of the king", so they both walked to Yang Jiulang and made the same big gift as Bao Zheng.

"Why does the prince of peace take a fancy to Brother Wang?", Sima Guang, as a historian and the editor of "Qualification Tongjian", the habit of breaking the sand pot is innate, so he asked Yang Jiulang, Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi also wanted to know the answer, and they were waiting for his answer.

"Although I have not been involved in politics for half my life, I have to deal with all kinds of people, etc., for the sake of Wolf State, I have to deal with all kinds of people, true information is the top priority, for the Great Song Dynasty and some officials of the Liao State for the political situation, I also know a little about it, I asked Lord Bao to recommend the two virtuous brothers to the emperor at the same time, let him choose one of the two, the reason why Wang Cheng was selected is estimated to be inseparable from the work that Sima Brothers are now engaged in for the time being, because, there are people who can be prime ministers, and you can edit the "Qualification Tongjian" There is only one Sima brother in the whole world, if it were me, I would not let you leave your current post, this book is a major event for the benefit of future generations, if you really want to compare, everything else will give way."

The next afternoon, Yang Jiulang came to the palace, Song Yingzong Zhao Shu saw his arrival, surprised, the reason is very simple, Yang Jiulang in order to avoid suspicion, not even the fief of the Great Song Dynasty, on the Liao State discarded the seventeen empty cities, stunned to start from scratch, created the richest wolf state in the world today, and he, except for the New Year, festivals, absolutely nothing to return to the palace, and today, what happened to let him enter the palace?

After the two sat down, Yang Jiulang took out a colorful brocade box containing the edict and opened his mouth.

"Back then, when I obtained the fief for my brother, I asked the emperor for two holy decrees, one of which was that the Ping'an kings of Wolf Prefecture could not go to court, and the emperor should have known about this", Song Yingzong nodded,

"This is the second way", as he spoke, he handed the holy decree box to Yingzong, and Song Yingzong's face changed greatly after seeing it,

"He will fight to the death",

"If you add your nephew Zhao Ji (xu), maybe there will be a turnaround", Song Yingzong suddenly understood something, stood up and gave a deep salute to Yang Jiulang, his eyes were red,

"The younger brother represents all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and thanks to the imperial brother for his cultivation of the emperor." Sima Guang really resisted the decree with death, and Yang Jiulang was happy,

"Lord Sima, I know that you will resist the decree to the death, so, this time the emperor also brought Er'er, there are two things to ask Lord Sima to consider after listening, this first thing, if Lord Sima can't record history realistically, even I will look down on you, but if Lord Sima doesn't know me Yang Jiulang, and there is no record, this does not violate any of your historians, Lord Sima, what do you say?", paused, and spoke again,

"This second thing, please take any article in the "Qualification Tongjian", give me and Ji'er ten days, for study, if you can get into the eyes of Lord Sima, I and Mi'er will study the "Qualification Tongjian" for free in the bookstore for three years, and Master Sima, because I don't know Yang Jiulang, so there is no record in the historical records.
