Prime Minister

Chapter 505 Arrangement
Jiangning Palace.

The eldest son, Wang Yu, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Pang Shi, are talking to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi found a daughter-in-law from an ordinary family in the same county as his daughter-in-law because his eldest daughter was at odds with her powerful mother-in-law after marrying Wu Anchi.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of a high-class family are not easy to get along with, but the daughter-in-law married from a low-class family is good, but who knows that his own son is not good.Wang Yu is highly conceited and often scolds Ponzi.

Wang Anshi didn't scold Wang Yu, but he couldn't help feeling sorry for his wife.

However, he wanted to come to Wang Yu with excellent knowledge and talent, this year's Jiangning mansion's examination is no problem, as for tomorrow's Beijing examination, he is also in the palm of his hand.

As for the second son, Wang Pang, his talents are mediocre, but the eldest son has outstanding talents, who are most like himself.

Now all the children are married, except for the youngest daughter who has not yet been married.

Wang Anshi loved this girl the most, and he held her on his lap to teach her to read and write since he was a child, so he searched everywhere to find a good match for this girl.In his eyes, family background and everything are secondary, the most important thing is to have talent, knowledge, and good character.

Today's young man left a deep impression on him.

So Wang Anshi said to Wang Yu, "Where is Cai Erlang?"

Wang Yu asked: "Should write articles outside the mansion, he is writing Hong Fan assigned by father today."

Wang Anshi said: "The man next to Cai Erlang today, do you know his origin?"

Wang Yu said, "Is that the man who answered Dad Kuang Heng Yuruo today?"

Wang Anshi nodded.

Wang Yu said: "I don't know either, he only said people from Pucheng."

Wang Anshi said: "I almost forgot, he claimed to be from the Zhang family in Pucheng, no wonder... no wonder..."

Wang Anshi couldn't help but think of Zhang Heng, Zhang Yue, and this year's lock hall trial province Yuan Zhangyu.

Wang Yu couldn't help being jealous and said: "What about the Zhang family in Pucheng? It's just for fame and reputation. Let's see if the baby comes back with the first prize for Daddy in this provincial examination."

Seeing his son's confidence, Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Even Daddy and I were only fourth."

It is well known why Wang Anshi got the fourth place, because an inappropriate sentence on the paper offended Emperor Renzong.

Wang Anshi has long since let go of these things, but he still said to Wang Yu: "You have to be my father, I have decided not to be an official, and I will die in Jiangning. From now on, you have to walk your own way in the officialdom."

Officials approached Wang Anshi several times to return to Beijing to learn the edict, but Wang Anshi refused all of them.

Wang Anshi looked like he was determined to give lectures in Jiangning, but Wang Anshi refused once, and instead became more famous because of this.

Speaking of Xie An's name Anshi, Wang Anshi's name Anshi, in Wang Yu's eyes, his father will definitely be able to stabilize the prime ministers of the world in the future, and he will not think of anyone other than him.

Wang Yu thought to himself, father should be raised in Jiangning now, and I will gradually persuade him on this matter in the future.

At this time Cai Bian arrived here, and Wang Anshi asked Zhang Qiu's identity. Cai Bian said, "He is Zhang Taichang's nephew. To give up his ranking, because Zhang Taichang refused, he ran away from home to study in Sichuan and Sichuan, and now he is in Jiangning again."

Wang Anshi heard that the other party was really a child of Zhang's family, but he was a little surprised when he heard that he was Zhang Yue's nephew, so he thought it looked like his old friend.

He knew the unwritten rule that Zhang's children from the same family, one subject and one person were listed on the list.And when I heard that Zhang Qiu Mingming passed the Jinshi examination, but voluntarily gave up his Jinshi status, and even ran away from home to study in Sichuan, Shu and Jiangning, he couldn't help but think highly of him.

The other party is not only a potential Jinshi, but also has such a good character.

Zhang Yue came from a poor family of the Zhang family, and he had lived a hard life in the past, as did his nephew, so he certainly didn't have the habits of Wu Anchi's sons from official families.

After hearing this, Wang Anshi nodded lightly.

When they returned to the house, his wife Wu Shi and Wang Anshi said: "I heard that when you were a professor at the government school today, you admired a young student very much."

Wang Anshi wondered, "How do you know?"

Wu said with a smile: "Your daughter went to attend the school today, and said that it is rare for you to be full of praise for a young man."

Wang Anshi laughed when he heard this.

Wu asked: "What is the identity of this young man?"

Wang Anshi was about to explain Zhangqiu's identity to Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu said with a smile, "Could it be that the official is thinking of recruiting a son-in-law?"

Wang Anshi did not deny it: "I have sought many young talents over the years, but none of them are as outstanding as him."

Wu smiled and said, "That's fate. Do you still remember what you said when you met Zhang Taichang?"

"What?" Wang Anshi forgot.

Wu knows that her husband doesn't care about anything other than studying, learning and political affairs.She said: "At that time, you still envied the Wu family to have such a good son-in-law? You also said that it would be good to find a son-in-law like Zhang Taichang in the future."

Wang Anshi suddenly realized that he had indeed said this at the time.

But at that time he said to his wife, Zhang Yueyan said that the pleasure of the boudoir is more than that of thrushes. As a number one scholar, the affairs of the boudoir are more important than the affairs of the state, so how can he take on the important task of the state in the future?
But why did it become enviable words in the mouth of his wife?

Wang Anshi asked Cai Bian to invite Zhang Qiu to his residence the next day...

midsummer.

The weather in Bianjing is extremely hot.

The prince Zhao Xu looked worried because his father Zhao Shu was ill again.He knew that the matter of Pu Yi exhausted his father's efforts, and now he was just holding on.

When Zhao Xu saw that the officials were managing politics in the front hall, he advised him to rest more.

The emperor comforted him and said, "I have been taking medicine all the time."

At this time, someone played Wang Yu's announcement, and Zhao Xu wanted to retreat, but the emperor said: "You stay and listen."

But I saw Wang Gui, a Hanlin scholar, arriving in the hall.

After Wang Gui saluted, the official Zhao Shu said: "I called Wang Qing today, and I am giving you a dragon and gold basin."

Wang Gui said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to accept gifts for nothing without merit."

The official said with a smile: "The reason why Wang Qing was not allowed to handle calligraphy was because I misunderstood people's words that Aiqing was unwilling to make grass for me. Now the facts are clear. Wang Qing has been loyal and diligent since he was in the dynasty. , I also plan to grant you the post of Duanming Palace Bachelor."

Zhao Xu was stunned for a while as he listened. At the beginning, Emperor Renzong passed down an oral order, asking Wang Yu of the Hanlin Chengzhi to draft an edict establishing the prince and give it to his father.But Wang Gui said that such a big matter can only be confirmed after meeting the emperor.

Afterwards, Wang Gui personally asked Emperor Renzong and drafted the imperial decree. Because this matter was in line with the system, Ouyang Xiu also called Wang Gui a true scholar.

As a result, my father had a prejudice against Wang Gui because of this.

After Zhao Shu came to power, Wang Gui was not allowed to participate in the drafting of the imperial decree, but was left idle as a Hanlin.

Because of this incident, his father alienated Wang Gui, the number one celebrity in front of Emperor Renzong, and sat on the bench for three years.

Within three years, Wang Gui opposed Huang Kao's theory on the matter of Puyi, but before the Empress Dowager Cao came out, she stood up and persuaded the Empress Dowager to return the power to her father.

Today, the officials told Wang Gui that I misunderstood what people said before, and promoted him to Duanming Palace Bachelor, tantamount to admitting their mistakes to Wang Gui.

In the past three years, Wang Gui was suddenly forced to marginalize from a popular official.

Wang Gui said: "If it weren't for His Majesty's sage, I'm afraid I won't live for a few days."

Outsiders don't understand the bitterness in Wang Gui's words.

The official pointed at Wang Gui and said to Zhao Xu who was beside him: "Wang Qing is loyal, but you can govern, you remember."

Wang Gui was both surprised and delighted when he heard this.

Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "My son, remember it."

After Wang Gui left, Zhao Shu said to Zhao Xu: "Many ministers disagree with Pu Yi's matter, but they should not be generalized. Ministers like Wang Gui can still be used."

Zhao Xu said: "My son has been taught."

Zhao Xu thought his father hated Wang Gui very much, didn't he?Why are you using him again now?

He asked the emperor with some unease: "Father, you are so eager to call Mr. Wang back to the court, is there something urgent?"

The original Yishan Wang Tao of the Ying Wang Mansion originally knew the imperial edict, but was forced to go out to know the Yongxing Army because of the impeachment of Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. Zhang Dun, who was recommended by Ouyang Xiu, had already passed the examination, but was rejected by Wang Tao. He was not granted a post in the library because of his opposition, and finally went to Wujin County as a county magistrate.

However, within a few months after Wang Tao left Beijing, he was suddenly called back to the capital by Zhao Shu to take up the post of Prince Zhan Shi.

Not only that, the original Yishan of the Yingwangfu, the fellow practitioners' daily life commented on Shao Kangzhi Zhigao, Zhijianyuan and Judgment of Si Nongsi, and another teacher of Zhao Xu, Han Weijin Zhigao, Zhitong Jinyintaisi.

Zhao Xu seemed to have a premonition that the emperor assigned the teachers in his palace to important positions so frequently.

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "But it's just a general transfer, don't worry about it."

After speaking, the waiter just came to take the medicine.

Zhao Xu had no choice but to leave the hall anxiously, only to see Prime Minister Han Qi entering the hall.

Zhao Xu and Han Qi saluted, and Han Qi said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty is welcome, does Your Majesty know?"

Zhao Xu nodded and asked Han Qi, "What can I do?"

But seeing Han Qi looking at him seriously, he said earnestly, "I hope that the King will not leave His Majesty's side."

Zhao Xu was stunned and said to Han Qi: "Isn't this the duty of the Son of Man?"

Han Qi shook his head: "This is not what I said."

After Han Qi saluted and went into the hall, Zhao Xu finally understood the meaning of Han Qi's words.

After all, he is the prince or not the crown prince!Once something happens to his father, then he has no right to be named, and anyone in the clan can be the emperor.

Therefore, he can only be by the side of the emperor all the time.

Once something happens to the emperor, with him in the palace, he can be canonized as emperor at any time.

His father was regarded as the adoptive king, and he didn't even have the qualifications to admit that his father was the emperor, let alone the qualification to make his son the crown prince early. Once he took this step, he would be punished by the world.

Therefore, their father and son can only be wronged, and they will not be able to see the outcome until the last moment.

Only at this moment did Zhao Xu really understand why his father said to him that he wanted to argue with him before. All of this was for himself and his family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhao Xu thought to himself, it took him a long time to understand such a simple matter, he was really too dull.It must have left a bad impression on Han Qi just now.

But now all the gentlemen around him have been pushed out to take up important positions, and there is no one to discuss with him.
