Chapter 1089: The person who wants to be seen

It would be a sin not to fight when Xixia collapsed.

Especially the officials of the Song Dynasty who had already felt the taste of victory, and more importantly, an old emperor. Not only must they attack Xixia, but they must also attack the Khitan who are still struggling in the north.

Of course, Wang Yan's continued weakening in the northwest caused constant civil strife in Xixia. Not only were the people under his rule in chaos, but the upper-level ruling class also fought for power and profit.

However, with the steady development in the past few years, Fan Zhongyan and others came back to power and absorbed the experience and lessons of gradual reforms. The Song Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, strengthened the country, enriched the people, and was really powerful.

Even the war that destroyed Xixia did not even affect the normal development of the country. A battle to destroy a country was easily resolved.

The reforms are certainly useful, but there are still many areas that have not been touched. For example, the clearing of fields and checking of people that have been implemented have encountered considerable resistance. Treating guests, beheading, and being treated as dogs, the local wealthy are very skillful in this game. Including the commercial tax that has been fully implemented, it just looks like the Hua Tuan Jin clan. The current data is 100% inaccurate.

Furthermore, there are the issues of the royal family, issues of nobles, issues of salt, iron, water transportation, judicial issues, issues of supervision of officials, etc. They are all problems, and they are all issues that cannot be touched easily, because if you do, you will die.

But even so, it still made more or less money. Coupled with the expansion of territory and the expansion of the market, it really calmed down the contradictions greatly.

Of course, it cannot be said that the reforms of Fan Zhongyan and others are useless. Things must be done step by step. Annual income has indeed increased and administrative efficiency has indeed improved. These are all real things...

It's just that Zhao Zhen is a little greedy now, and he wants to kill Xixia and Khitan before he dies, and even wants to fight the Uighurs. In the south, I also began to study Dali.

Wang Yan knew his life span best. His conditioning methods were successfully destroyed by Zhao Zhen's overtime childbirth. Now he has many health problems...

However, Wang Yan admired Zhao Zhen's enterprising spirit very much, and he would fight when it was time to fight.

But unfortunately, these things have nothing to do with him, and no one wants to give him another share of the credit for destroying the country. During the war, he lectured in the Imperial College, and after the war, he still lectured in the Imperial College. Even in the wartime combat meetings, he, who was recognized as the most capable person, was not consulted as a consultant. At most, they just chatted a few words while having dinner and drinking tea with Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and Lao Bao.

But it's not that he is without company, Di Qing is still there. It's just that he, Wang, really doesn't care, but Di Qing is looking at him to find a balance and understand himself...

They both participated in the post-war celebrations, and Zhao Zhen also rewarded many things...

Not long after the celebration, Wang Yan met Gu Tingye.

If it hadn't been for the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, Wang Yan would have walked to the Yamen every morning. Along the way, he would talk to the people, the soldiers at the military patrol station, and the patrolmen and other people passing by. It can't be said that it's about understanding the people's sentiments. It's about observing people's sentiments a day or two. If it's always like this, it's because of feelings. I have to say a few random words every day.

Who is getting married, who is giving birth to a child, who is living a good life, who is having a little trouble, all these kinds of things, in the past half a year, Wang Yan has established relationships with the people on his way to work. A certain friendship.

He is already popular and willing to contact the people, so this is inevitable. The people were also willing to do this, because Wang Yan walked on this road every day, and the people were all familiar with each other. If anyone dared to cause trouble, all they had to do was block Wang Yan and ask for help. No one would doubt that Wang Yan would do nothing after hearing this.

As early as when Wang Yan was on patrol, the people here were more or less illuminated by the light. They deeply know how powerful Wang Xianggong is...

This is how Gu Tingye came out.

Walking all the way to the entrance of the Imperial College in the imperial city, Wang Yan held a fan and nodded at Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye came up knowingly and saluted solemnly: "Gu Tingye pays homage to your husband."

"Follow me all the way. Tell me what you want."

"Does your husband know Ting Ye?"

"Previously, I knew that you were studying at my father-in-law's house. Later, you were convicted for your speech. The official wanted you to take the imperial examination after you are fifty years old. Last month, the northwest reported success, and Gu Tingye's name was also among them."

Wang Yan shook his fan and looked at him with a smile, "But I don't know what will happen if you come to see me?"

"Tingye wants to become my husband's disciple."

"Shut up!"

Wang Yan shook his fan and sent him a cool breeze. "He must be a smart man to be a general from a small soldier on the battlefield. You should know what my situation is now. But the situation is not bad. If people listen to your words, I'm afraid I will be guilty of it, Gu Tingye, you have bad intentions..."

"Ting Ye is sincerely seeking refuge with Mr. Xianggong, so why does he have bad intentions? The world knows that Mr. Xianggong is very powerful..."

"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Wang Yan interrupted Gu Tingye's flattery.

"I have long heard that my husband has a straightforward temperament, and today I saw that it is true. To be honest with my husband, Tingye has long admired Sheng Minglan, the sixth daughter of the Sheng family. Although Tingye is not a civil servant now, he has also made some achievements. The Sheng family It's time for the six girls to leave the pavilion. Tingye wants to propose marriage and will come to her soon.

Others might say that Tingye clings to his husband, so Tingye came first to cling to him. Tingye must be sincere towards the sixth lady of the Sheng family, but his words of seeking refuge with his father-in-law are also true. Regardless of whether his husband was present or not, Tingye asked to marry a daughter of the Sheng family. Regardless of whether the daughter of the Sheng family is willing to marry or not, Tingye is willing to be driven by her husband and go through fire and water without hesitation. "

"Don't be blinded by what you gain in the moment. To become a general in one battle is indeed extraordinary, but it is not very remarkable. You should understand what is going on with Duke Dee. If I hadn't been in front of him, he would have been the dog in the family. It's time to grow horns. You are the general of the Song Dynasty, not anyone else's general, let alone my own general. You have to understand this. If you do your own thing, who else can do it for nothing?

As for marrying a daughter of the Sheng family, that is beyond my control. It depends on whether Minglan is willing to marry. If you want to be my brother-in-law, it depends on your ability. That's it for now, let's go and rest. "

"Tingye thanks your husband." Gu Tingye saluted solemnly, and then simply left.

Wang Yan's words have made it clear that as long as he does his job well, no one will do evil for nothing. But how could it be possible that no one was causing trouble? Of course, whoever messes with him will be finished.

Only by joining the Western Army and coming into contact with the Xiang Army in the northwest can we know how awesome Wang Yan really is. Only then can we understand that there is nothing wrong with Wang Yan being deprived of his power and recalled to the capital to sit pouting in the Imperial Academy.

It just so happened that Gu Tingye joined the Western Army.

The army is naturally not monolithic, and internal strife is quite serious, and the Western Army is no exception. Among the Western Army, Wang Yan's old unit was especially the strongest. They also linked up with other factions, exchanged various interests, and brought merchants along with the army in battles. They even secretly supported several big businessmen themselves, followed the rules set by Wang Yan, and provided benefits to everyone.

However, Wang Yan's old department still maintained the rules he established. In the spring, they helped the people plow the fields under the coordination of the government, and in the autumn they helped with the harvest. He fights with great bravery, is not afraid of death, and his momentum is overwhelming...

Wang Yan had no special feelings about Gu Tingye's sudden appearance. A person who is somewhat smart and has good luck can always get up no matter how the environment changes. Of course, that was without him targeting him. After all, it was not like he had never dealt with the protagonist. Just kidding, who isn’t a protagonist anymore?
After arriving at the Imperial College Yamen, he held a meeting, grasped the progress of various matters, approved the documents that he needed to review, and gave lectures. Until noon, Wang Yan saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Students pay homage to our husband."

"I haven't seen you for many years. Cunzhong has gone through a lot of vicissitudes. Sit down and talk."

"My husband has gone through all the things in the world, but he is still as handsome and prosperous as he was in Hangzhou." Shen Kuo thanked him and sat across from Wang Yan.

At the time of the general trial in Hangzhou, he was invited by Fan Chunren to give lectures in the academy. Shen Kuo was one of the students attending the lectures at that time. After the class was over, he went to Wang Yan alone for advice.

After that, Shen Kuo began to study "new learning" and also began to delve into various other things. In the past few years, his contact with Wang Yan has not been interrupted, and he communicates frequently. Because of Wang Yan's status and profound knowledge, even though he was only one year younger than Wang Yan, he still held the disciple ceremony. Shen Kuo still insisted on this. But in fact, the relationship between the two is that of both teachers and friends.

However, Shen Kuo's trajectory did not change much. He still worked as a minor official in the local area because he failed to pass the Jinshi examination. This year Shen Kuo came to Beijing to attend the Spring Festival. Because he was an official, he did not have to wait for half a year like other scholars. He just came to Beijing.

The first thing he did when he came to Beijing was to send a greeting card to Wang Yan's house. Wang Yan directly asked him to come to the Imperial College at this time, and they could have a chat while taking advantage of the lunch break.

But in fact, Shen Kuo came early and followed the class all morning... Wang Yan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Are you sure that Cunzhong will pass the exam this time?"

"Students are no better than my husband. The provincial exams are all geniuses from each state. How dare you say something that is sure to win."

"I said you can hit it."

Um? Shen Kuo looked at the smiling idol and life role model in front of him in surprise, and said hesitantly: "My husband, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? My husband is in the capital right now..."

"Although I am in charge of the supervisor, I am not the one who decides on the tribute examination. Moreover, this year is the first time that the reform of the imperial examination system is implemented. Even if it is possible to do it secretly, I cannot do such a thing. I said you can win because of your knowledge. He is solid, has a stable mentality, and Xixia was defeated at the beginning of the year. It is the right time to recruit people. I expect that I will recruit about 400 people this year. As long as I perform normally, I will be able to capture him. "

"Students don't dare to say for sure. It's better to take the exam and then take a look."

“Where is Cunzhong’s ambition?”

"I have established my heart for heaven and earth...to create peace for all generations."

"Why stand?"

"The student has never slackened off the truth-seeking method that Xianggong said. To this day, he has gained something from the investigation of things. But I don't know what Xianggong means?"

Shen Kuo was a little confused because this was not a normal long-term goodbye procedure. We should first talk about the situation in the past few years, then talk about the current situation, and then look forward to the future. Now that the two of them sat down and didn't say a few words, they just looked forward to the future, which he didn't know how to do.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I have reserved a place for you in the Imperial College, which is exactly what you want."

"Could it be Baigongyuan that my husband said?"

"You make the sacrificial wine."

"Are you afraid that the students are not competent?"

"In Baigongyuan, there are mainly master craftsmen, and there are no senior officials. You can suppress them. And you are good at Baigongyuan, so you are the only one who can do this. If you perform abnormally, you can still serve. Run Baigongyuan well. , You, Shen Cunzhong, have made great contributions to researching tools that benefit the country and the people."

Shen Kuo didn't even hesitate. He stood up and saluted with his hands raised: "How dare you disobey me, student?"

Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction. This is a person in the Song Dynasty who is more suitable for scientific research, and is suitable for overall management of scientific research. He can make a career. Rather than letting him lead troops to fight and end up with a huge defeat due to mutual strife, which also affected his official career, it would be better to teach and do research.

He stood up and patted Shen Kuo on the shoulder: "Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."

"Just in time to see how the food in the Imperial College is."

Shen Kuo followed Wang Yan, curiously looking at the situation in the Imperial College. After finishing the meal and sitting down, the meeting finally returned to the normal track. The two of them chatted and laughed about what happened in recent years...

In fact, it wasn't just Shen Kuo. Wang Yan's house received a lot of greetings, because he was already one of the people who had to visit him when he came to the capital.

He has to meet and chat with several people every day, establish a good image for himself, and spread a good reputation, which will also help him discover talents. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Even Sansu came to visit him.

From a historical perspective, the visit of three Sus together is a new achievement in Wang Yan's life. But looking at it now, this is normal and nothing surprising.

Wang Yan mostly talked about literature with the father and son. There was no way around it. Each of the three father and son was more talented than the other, which really gave Wen Quxing a hard time.

Of course, Wang Yan didn't forget to take care of them.

Sansu came to Beijing this time to seek an official position. Because in the second year of Jiayou's reign, after the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che won the Jinshi, Su Xun's wife Cheng died of illness and they all went home. Now is the time to become an official.

Of course, if you want to beg for an official position, you don't want to beg for him, Wang Yan. The three of them, father and son, are both awesome and have no shortage of official positions. More likely, let’s take a look at the biggest contributor to the Song Dynasty’s current climate.

Su Xun was a reformist, and so were Su Shi and Su Zhe. However, later on, Su Shi and Su Zhe opposed Wang Anshi's reform. In fact, they were not against the reform, but the law that Wang Anshi changed. They believed that it had drawbacks and should be treated with caution. But what was Wang Anshi's temper? He kicked them all out of Beijing.

As this progress continued step by step, the two brothers became conservatives. Human thoughts are not static, this is understandable.

But regardless of the reason why they came to see Wang Yan, now that Sansu is here, he is certainly willing to help others. It is very pleasant to meet historical figures face to face, or to meet figures like Sansu, to listen to their praise and various inquiries. It is a base pleasure, no doubt, but pleasure...

So Wang Yan dragged Su Xun to the Imperial College.

Su Xun has no reputation. He was originally recommended by Ouyang Xiu, but now it is Wang Yan who takes action. Pulling Su Xun to work under him makes him happy and cheerful every day. Of course, it would be better if it was Su Shi.

It's just that Wang Yan took Su Xun's age into consideration, and it was impossible for father and son to serve in the same government office. If not, Wang Yan would have to bring Sansu under his command.

As for the official positions of the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che, Wang Yan did not interfere. As expected, they were both sent to the northwest. Now there is a huge shortage of people there. Although it is a bit harder, it is easy to achieve results. Overall, it is good...

During this period of time, Gu Tingye actually went to Sheng Mansion to propose marriage. Wang Yan also asked Hua Lan to tell Minglan that if he didn't like it, he would introduce it to Minglan. But after back and forth communication with Gu Tingye, Minglan still agreed, which meant that the bastard had caught sight of Mung Bean.

Minglan is not stupid, Wang Yan's attitude has been expressed, of course she knows that she can control her happiness. Then you would be really stupid to choose Gu Tingye if you don't see eye to eye. After all, there is a big age gap, and Gu Tingye and his concubine have children, which is not very nice.

On the contrary, Sheng Hong disagreed, and Minglan approached Hua Lan. Finally, Wang Yan stepped forward to chat with his father-in-law.

Sheng Hong's opposition was caused by many factors. Gu Tingye was a noble and a military general, and Wang Yan was more sensitive. As a result, the Sheng family built a bridge and found someone for Wang Yan to participate in the battle to destroy Xixia and command the imperial army in Beijing. The general is the brother-in-law. Of course Sheng Hong was unwilling to do this.

Wang Yan once again explained the stakes to his father-in-law. The key problem is that this father-in-law always holds the thought that even if Wang himself falls, the Sheng family can continue to exist. How can this be done? .

From the day he married Sheng Hualan, the Sheng family could no longer escape. So he cruelly crushed Sheng Hong's thoughts. Sheng Hong now regrets his decision.

Having such a son-in-law is awesome, but I am really afraid and frightened. He didn't dare to tell anyone that he always dreamed that Wang Yan's rebellion failed and the nine clans were implicated.

Just thinking about it made his neck feel cold...

Regardless of whether he was cold or not, the result was good, and the marriage between Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan was settled. Then Gu Tingye was adjusted his work and led many fewer soldiers...

And during this time, the turmoil in Beijing never stopped. There are only two major things in the DPRK, one is to completely eliminate the Khitan regime, and the other is to save things.

In fact, the Khitan may not fight now, but the position of prince must be decided early.

Zhao Zhen and the ministers had been going back and forth for a year, and finally had results...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
