To The Land of Nevernight

Tang Shen's eyes were too straightforward, Wang Qin saw that his junior brother didn't have any hidden meaning at all, so he almost put the words "Senior brother, is it really okay to rebel against yourself like this?" on his head.Wang Qin couldn't help chuckling, and said leisurely: "The Wang family of Langya has never been a person who doesn't know how to adapt. The second family of Wang Xie, the Xie family has shown signs of decline, and the Wang family is in full swing. Junior brother, have you ever thought about why?"

Tang Shen pondered for a while, then suddenly sighed: "Flowing water does not rot, and the door hinge does not moth."

Wang Qin stared at him with brighter eyes.

Tang Shen bid farewell to Wang Qin and left Shangshu Mansion.

The running water does not rot, the door hinge does not moth... it moves!

Wang Zifeng took the Langya Wang family as an example, but he only said that the Langya Wang family was a representative of the aristocratic family, but he never said that the Langya Wang family was a murderous executioner.The Wang family has been married for hundreds of years, and since its own reputation, it has become the largest family in the panic-stricken land of China.There was no imperial examination system in the early days, and the social hierarchy was more solidified at that time.Later, with the emergence of the imperial examination system, the interests of the aristocratic families were deprived step by step, so many aristocratic families fell into decline, but the Wang family still stands today.

Because Mrs. Wang has changed herself to adapt to this world!

If they were replaced by the children of other aristocratic families, they were faced with the reform of "using paper currency" and knew that this matter would greatly damage their own interests. How would they do it?They will hide, will deliberately exclude.But whether it is Wang Qin or right minister Wang Quan, what they choose is to vigorously promote.

The disciples of Langya are not only officials for the aristocratic family, but also officials for this world.

Tang Shen thought: "The power of the aristocratic family in Guangling Mansion is far inferior to that of Jinling Mansion, but the death of the county magistrate happened in Guangling, not in Jinling... This is the attitude of the Wang family!"

In mid-February, the imperial mission went to Guangling Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the Duzhi case.

At the end of March, Cao Huixun, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, wrote a seal and ordered it to be sent to Shengjing as soon as possible.After Zhao Fu read this note, he was furious, and ordered Wang Qin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Geng Shaoyun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, to go to Guangling Mansion to supervise the Duzhisi case.In the evening of that day, the two second-rank ministers went to Guangling with their cronies.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, as in the past, there has not been much change, but the matter of entitlement and reform has gradually been delayed.

The 23 articles of assignment and reform are equivalent to an idea, an idea, and Duzhisi is a sharp weapon to implement it.Now that Du Zhisi was dismissed by the emperor, both Zhao Jing and Qin Si were locked up at home to wait to be dealt with, Du Zhisi was gone, and the 23 tax reforms were also delayed.

Everyone knows that this assignment reform is a good thing, there is absolutely no problem, but no one can realize it.

In April, in the area of ​​Youzhou, Liao Jun violated the ban and had some conflicts with the Song Army.

Marshal Li Jingde of Zhengxi defeated the enemy army, and the victory was sent to Shengjing by [-] miles on the third day.After the emperor saw it, Long Yan was very happy, said three "good" words in a row, and decided to reward the three armies.After waiting for a few days, the detailed military situation was sent to the Palace of Qinzheng.Tang Shen flipped through these thick military brochures. After reading them for a long time, his heart suddenly moved.

Two days later, Tang Shen wrote the envelope and quietly handed it out.

But after a while, an official sent a note to Tang Shen when delivering soup and rice.After reading the above content, Tang Shen silently hid the note in his sleeve, and secretly burned it when no one was around.After leaving the Yamen at night, Tang Shen walked out of the palace, this time he didn't head east all the way home, but came to Zhengyangmen Street.

On Zhengyangmen Street, there are many shops on both sides, and pedestrians are in a hurry.

Tang Shen went straight to Xixia Tower, which was originally the property of the Tang family. Tang Shen entered quietly through the side door, and someone specially covered him.He came to the private room on the second floor, opened the door, Tang Shen immediately saluted, and said, "Your Majesty Tang Shen, I have met Wang Xianggong."

I saw that in the spacious and tidy room, the person sitting on the upper seat was Wang Quan, the prime minister at the right!

Wang Quan is more than fifty years old, but his temples are already graying.He has an extremely long beard, and his figure is slim, just like a civil servant with two sleeves.Wang Quan and Wang Qin are not similar in appearance, but both of them have a demeanor that is difficult to imitate.At this moment Wang Quanduan was sitting in the hall, looking at the respectful Tang Shen, he said with a smile: "They are all from my family, so come here."

"Yes."

This is Tang Shen's first official contact with the right minister.

In this court, there are many factions.There is no inevitable enemy party among the Baiguan factions, and each has some seemingly non-existent connections.The reason why Tang Shen is considered to be part of the royal party is because he and Wang Qin belong to the same party, but he cannot be regarded as a member of the right party.

Wang Quan and Wang Qin are uncles and nephews, but they act independently.

Compared with the identity of the royal party, Wang Qin is more like a royal party. The only thing he is loyal to and serves is the emperor.He is Zhao Fu's confidant.

Because Wang Qin was a member of the imperial party, Tang Shen and his faction were naturally classified as part of the imperial party.Of course, this faction is also very complicated.Su Wenyun is a member of the imperial party, but Su Wenyun and Wang Zifeng have never dealt with each other very much, and he and Tang Shen have not dealt with each other very much either.

Zhao Fu weighs the way of the emperor with hundreds of officials, which is complicated and deep.It took him 30 years to set up such a political situation in the court, and ordinary people can't see anything at all.But if you look closely, it makes your scalp tingle.

In the private room, there was a steaming pot of Boxia offerings on the table, but Wang Quan didn't intend to move his chopsticks.

The two sat aside, and Wang Quan said, "Why did you give me that notebook?"

Tang Shen was silent, and said: "Brother is not here, the only thing I can think of is to give it to Wang Xianggong."

Wang Quan smiled: "You have great trust in Zifeng."

Tang Shen didn't say anything, he thought to himself: I trust Wang Zifeng, but I don't trust you.After weighing it, I chose to give you this letter.

As Wang Zifeng said, the Xie family has long since declined, while the Wang family is still prosperous.He believed in the children of the Wang family, so he gave this zhezi to Wang Quan.

Wang Quan fixedly looked at Tang Shen, as if he wanted to see a flower from his face.After a long time, the court official laughed, got up and said: "I heard from Fu Xiru that although he is your husband, he never taught you a single lesson and entrusted you to Zifeng. Now it seems that it is the blue out of the blue." And better than blue."

Tang Shen was really a little panicked now: "Mr. Wang is overrated."

To say that he is stronger than Wang Zifeng, Tang Shen is still a little guilty.His senior brother has a weird temper, Tang Shen has not figured out Wang Qin's mind until now.What if Wang Zifeng became jealous and angry when he heard that Wang Quan had praised Tang Shen better than him.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Let's stop here today."

After speaking, Wang Quan got up and left.

The Boxia Kuo on the table didn't move a chopstick at all, and Tang Shen heaved a sigh of relief when Wang Quan left, and called shopkeeper Lu and Tang Juan to have hot pot together.

Don Juan saw that the big table didn't eat any dishes, and he was surprised: "This is the freshest dish we carefully selected, brother, why didn't you eat a single bite? It's delicious!"

Tang Shen joked, "You just want to eat."

Don Juan pursed his lips, confidently: "Food is the paramount necessity of the people!"

Tang Shen said with emotion: "Food is the most important thing for the people? This is really good."

The king regards the people as his heaven, and the people regard food as their heaven.

How did Don Juan know that the person staying in this room just now was Wang Quan, the right minister of the court!How did she know that what was discussed in this room just now was the real matter of allowing more people to eat!

Tang Shen didn't know how Wang Quan operated.

In the 30th year of Kaiping, the great victory in the Northwest, the spirit of the Liao people was severely bruised.Zhao Fu was overjoyed and rewarded the three armies.Xu Linghou, the left servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs, remonstrated, saying that the usual rewards for soldiers are often ineffective because of the wear and tear of the journey.Now that Wang Qin, Shangshu of the household department, is not in Shengjing, and Qin Si, the right servant of the household department, is under house arrest again, Xu Linghou proposed to set up a Yinyin department in the northwest to be in charge of military affairs.

Zhao Fu agreed.

In May, Wang Qin and others returned to Beijing.The case of the Duzhi Division in Guangling Mansion was officially closed, some officials were arrested in Dali Temple, and some people were also arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Zhao Fu said sadly: "Taizu abolished the three divisions, do you really think that it was just to reduce the power of the prime minister?"

Emperor Kaiping has always been an emperor who likes to hint, he has never said such straightforward words.As he said so now, in the Chuigong Palace, all the powerful officials saluted in unison.If it weren't for the officials of the Song Dynasty who didn't have to kneel to the emperor, there was no need to doubt, they should be kneeling on the ground now.

Zhao Fu sighed and said, "All your ministers don't understand Taizu's good intentions!"

In May, Zhao Fu abolished Du Zhisi.This department, which had just been re-established less than a year ago, was easily abolished.

Zhao Jing, a political affairs officer in Zhongshu, was relegated to Huxi because of ineffective supervision and management, and served as the fourth-rank governor of Qinzhou.Qin Si, the right servant of the household department, was also relegated to Liuzhou because of poor supervision.After the two received the imperial decree, neither of them had the opportunity to meet again.

Zhao Jing and Qin Si received the imperial edict, and both looked at the sky blankly.

The next day, Zhao Jing came to Zuo Xiang's mansion and met with his teacher.

Zuo Xiang Ji Wengji was born in a poor family, although he is now the Zuo Xiang, he is really a breeze in his sleeves.He received his favorite student, and the dishes on the table were made by Mrs. Zuo Xiang herself. The dishes were wild vegetables, and there were only two meat and two vegetables.

When Zhao Jing saw Prime Minister Zuo, with tears in his eyes, he immediately knelt down: "Student, I'm sorry sir!"

Ji Weng Jixu supported him, not letting him really kneel down.Ji Wengji said: "Bo'an is so sorry for being a teacher, let's eat vegetables first, don't cry. Although these are only some wild vegetables, but if you go to Qinzhou, maybe you won't even be able to eat these wild vegetables."

Qinzhou has been a desolate place since ancient times. Zhao Jing went there, and he didn't know that he would come back in the year of the monkey.

How could Zhao Jing eat? He choked up his throat: "The student is not doing well, and even hurt the gentleman, and was reprimanded by His Majesty in court."

Ji Wengji laughed and said: "It's not that you are ineffective, it's that I was wrong. I thought that Wang Quan's promotion of tax reform was for the benefit of his family, so I intervened and reopened the Duzhi Division. Now One year later, when I look back at the prime minister, I underestimated him, Wang Dezhan, I am narrow-minded, and I am not as tolerant as he is in this matter!"

Zhao Jing was puzzled and said, "Sir?"

"In the past few months, I have gradually understood what Wang Quan is going to do. If he really does it, it will be a good thing, a big thing. Now that he is setting up a Yin Yin Division in the Northwest, I roughly understand his I mean, but I no longer have the ability to intervene.”

Zhao Jing blamed himself, "It's the students who didn't do a good job."

Ji Wengji: "If you lose your horse, how do you know it's not a blessing?"

Zhao Jing was at a loss.

Ji Wengji took a bite of the dish, his chopsticks were pointing north.That is the direction of the Great Song Palace. "Look now, the old man's most proud student has been relegated to Qinzhou, and the momentum of the leftist faction has been greatly reduced. Should the emperor finally feel at ease?"

Zhao Jing thought for a long time, carefully recalling what he saw and heard in the past year.

Zhao Jing suddenly felt cold all over, and then hot blood gushed out from his chest.He is Ji Wengji's favorite student, so naturally he is not stupid, he really understands now.

Zhao Jing got up and bowed: "Mr. Dayi, the students understand!"

Ji Wengji smiled leisurely: "Eat vegetables!"
