The brothers Wang Anshi and Wang Anli are both famous for their articles, but their political views are very different. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wang Anshi presided over the law change, but Wang Anli has always opposed the law change, so after Wang Anshi resigned, Wang Anli was not impacted. Emperor Shenzong has always trusted the Wang family, and the old party also regarded Wang Anli as a reliable ally, so in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Wang Anli rose to the top and was promoted to the governor of the political affairs, and he was the prime minister.

Although there are contradictions in political opinions, blood is thicker than water, and when Wang Anli heard the news of Wang Anshi from Mao Zheng's mouth, he also felt a little warm in his heart. In addition, Mao Zheng is talented and intelligent, he has been exposed to the knowledge of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism since he was a child, and has been instructed by masters, Mao Zheng's insight is also extraordinary, so Wang Anli is also very fond of this descendant from Jinling, and has been taking care of it.

But the struggle between the new party and the old party is already tense, and Mao Zheng studied under Wang Anshi after all, which made some people in the old party very uneasy. After going to the Qionglin banquet, he was a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and if a descendant who sympathized with the new party was mixed into the camp of "his own people", this was intolerable to those of the old party. But after all, Mao Zheng was recommended by Wang Anli, and others couldn't dispose of him with Yiyi, so there was today's scene.

Mao Zheng followed the housekeeper into the lobby, but saw that Wang Anli was already sitting there, only to see him drinking himself with a teacup, his eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something, and his brows were furrowed for fear that he had encountered something troublesome.

"The younger generation visited Wang Xianggong, and in recent days, I have been busy with scientific research and have not been able to come to see Xianggong more, please forgive me. Mao Zheng said and gave a disciple salute to Wang Anli.

When Wang Anli saw Mao Zheng coming, a smile appeared on his face, and the sorrow just now was swept away, only to see him get up from his seat, walk in front of Mao Zheng in a few steps, and help Mao Zheng up.

"It's good that you're here, and it's also time for young Junxiu to learn more. I think I was still very playful when you were so young, and if it weren't for my brother's urging, I would have achieved what I am today. Wang Anli said.

"Wang Anshi is a little stern, but he is a very good person. I studied with him for a few years and benefited a lot from his teachings. Mao Zheng heard Wang Anli mention Wang Anshi, and also remembered the old things in Jinling, and said with feelings.

"My brother's article is well written, and his life is impeccable. I've always considered him my idol since I was a child. It's not bad that you can get the approval of your brother. However, I still have to say more, after all, the 'gold is not enough, no one is perfect' brother will also make mistakes. Although there are personal feelings, we cannot be ambiguous on major issues of right and wrong. Wang Anli said.

"I don't think the teacher has a problem with the big issues of right and wrong. He reformed internal affairs for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. Mao Zheng couldn't help but retort.

"You have to understand that the foundation of our dynasty is the scholar clan, and if there is no scholar clan, even if there is no whole world, it will be a country without a country. The elder brother has taken too much care of the interests of those small people, and instead undermines the prestige of our clan through reform, which is absolutely undesirable. If the leaves are gone, they can grow again, and if the roots are gone, the whole tree will die. Wang Anli said bitterly.

"But the saints all say that the people are the foundation of the state, I think ......" Mao Zheng was born in the lower class, and he couldn't understand Wang Anli's words at all, so he couldn't help but retort, but was immediately stopped by Wang Anli.

"You, you've been following your brother for too long, and you've been infected with his stubbornness. It's okay for you to say that to me, but don't say the same to anyone else. I will take you to two of my colleagues in the Privy Council, and you will be sure to take to heart what I have just said to you. Since the so-called 'big man can bend and stretch', when you can soar for nine days like a big peng, who can stop you. But now you must understand some things, and you must not act willfully. Wang Anli said.

Mao Zheng heard this, he didn't know what to say, he just felt that today's matter was not simple, so he didn't say anything anymore. After listening to Wang Anli's words, he followed him into the inner room and into a study.

After entering the small door and bypassing the Xiao wall, I saw two elderly people in brocade clothes, sitting on both sides of the table, and the middle position was vacant. One of them was smiling, and his face was flushed, and he was obviously a pampered person, while the other had no expression on his face, but he looked capable, and his temperament was obviously a person with great power.

When they heard the footsteps, the two stopped talking, and when Mao Zheng saluted, they secretly looked at Mao Zheng, thinking about what to say next.

After a little introduction, Wang Anli achieved the position in the middle, and after the other two arched their hands, his amiable expression in the lobby just now was replaced by a majestic bearing. I saw Wang Anli sitting precariously and said to Mao Zheng: "Since the so-called: 'Maxima is often there, but Bole is not often', I think you are also a young and handsome, so I invited two Bole for you." Whether you have real talent and learning, or are you just a person who deceives the world and steals your name, the two of them will naturally have considerations. The selection of talented people for the imperial court should be based on justice, I have some relatives with you, so I won't say much about it. Don't look at my face, just show your skills, and next, the two adults will give you a guide or two, and you will quickly give the two adults a bow to the teacher?"

Mao Zheng has studied with Wang Anshi since he was a child, and has also been in and out of Baoning Temple and Yuanfu Palace, he is not a person who has never seen the world, so he still maintains a calm and calm attitude in front of the three court officials. Hearing Wang Anli's words, Mao Zheng, who had just gotten up, immediately bowed to the two of them without humility or arrogance.

"It's really a famous teacher and a high apprentice, and this kind of bearing doesn't look like a teenager should have. As long as you train and train, the future will be limitless. The chubby elder said with a cute face.

"It's good that you're so calm. Although you have bowed to me, I will not take the incompetent as a disciple. The article you wrote, I have read it, it is really good. But it's not enough to just write a good article, Liu Yongliu of the Renzong Dynasty has changed three times, and it's not bad to write an article, but to put it mildly, his things are just things to tease women. You mentioned in your policy discussion that Fan Wenzheng set the northwest policy fairly, and you seem to have some unfinished thoughts in the article, so you might as well talk about it today. The thin-faced elder said in a neutral voice.
