Cry for Song

Chapter 10 First meeting Bao Heizi

In the southwest of the Royal Street is Kaifeng Mansion, and the king thought about the injustice drum in front of the Kaifeng Mansion. Jie Shiming; the solemnity of the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion; Taiji Baguatai. Sanqing Hall and Yingwu Tower, where will Lord Bao meet them? However, he is not right. The solemn and majestic architectural groups at the main gate of Kaifeng Mansion are the daily office of Kaifeng Mansion. It is a private matter for Wang Anshi to find Lord Bao. Of course, he has to go through the "back door".

The two brothers next to the king followed Wang Anshi's sedan chair, turned from the street on the side of the main gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and walked along the high wall of Kaifeng Mansion to Lord Bao's mansion at the southernmost gate. The old housekeeper of Bao's house took them to Lord Bao's study, and Lord Bao and Wang Anna greeted them politely. Wang Yu and Wang stood behind their father, respectfully and did not dare to look up or peek at Lord Bao. Wang Bian heard Wang Anshi say in his ear, "You two pay homage to Lord Bao!" The two saluted in a hurry. But I heard Lord Bao's high-pitch voice: "You two look up."

Wang Bian quickly looked up and took a good look at the living Bao Zheng. This look was different from the novel and drama in his impression. Lord Bao was sitting behind the table, wearing a black gauze hat, wearing a purple robe, and a black silk ribbon embroidered with silver thread on his waist. There was nothing wrong with this dress, but this face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. , bronze skin, long whistalks on the chest, over 50 years old; he doesn't speak calmly, but his eyes are bright, quite not angry and arrogant.

Bronze color, do you have it? It's not black, and there is no crescent moon on the forehead. To be precise, Bao Zheng is still handsome. With a pair of eyes, Wang Zanqi lowered his head and thought to himself that the writer's face painting was too powerful.

Bao Zheng naturally didn't know what he was thinking. He had heard that Wang Anshi's two sons, the eldest son was erudite and talented, and the second son was brave and resourceful. Today, he saw that the two children were handsome. He looked at Yuan Ze and Wang's side, and suddenly pointed to Wang's side and said to Wang Anshi, "Lord Wang, is this the prince who saved people in the mansion?"

Wang Anshi looked at Bao Zheng in surprise. He didn't say which one it was: "Lord Bao is like a god. This word is indeed the second son of the king mentioned in my letter."

Wang Bing and Yuan Ze looked at each other, and Wang Bing muttered, "I haven't said a word yet. How does Master Bao know?"

Wang Anshi stared at Wang: "If there are no rules~"

Bao Zheng laughed. He said to Wang Anshi, "I just heard that my eldest son is familiar with poetry and books, and he is very easy to learn. As soon as they were asked to raise their heads, the eldest son bowed his head naturally. What's more, his eyes were slightly weak when looking at things near and far, which was caused by reading for a long time. And this time..." He paused and looked at Wang. "Although he is also respectful, his eyes are sharp, and the incompassing look is just in line with the feeling of not reading for a long time after recovering from illness."

Wang didn't seem to praise himself when he heard this. It seemed that Wang Anshi felt the same way. Wang Anshi said, "It's my father's job to raise or not. He feels guilty about this son, so he hopes to be famous. Wang was very moved when he stood behind him and listened. As soon as he wanted to speak, he saw Yuan Ze dragging him, and he knew that Yuan Ze was reminding him not to speak.

But the little movements they only saw could not escape Bao Zheng's eyes. Bao Zheng looked at him and turned to Wang Anshi and said, "Lord Wang, you and I are the same minister in the same temple, and we are in the group of pastors. Lord Wang has been working for a few days. My ability is really high, and I am also very satisfied. Since adults look up to me so much, this is not a matter of worship, but a gathering of masters in the court. Let me teach you to be afraid of being wronged"

"Lord Bao is too modest. If I say that adults have the first knowledge, I am also afraid that adults will flatter me, but if I say that I am upright, no one can compare with the magical Lord Bao. Although the second son doesn't know too much Wenmo, he is simple and upright. Bao Zheng listened to Wang Anshi and continued.

"I want the second son to follow the adults to learn more about the matter of the case, which will also be useful in the future. You can also learn more about how to be a man from adults.

Wang Zhou didn't expect Wang Anshi to be so thoughtful, and Bao Zheng also saw what he said was sincere. He nodded and said, "Then I'd like to test him. If he can answer three questions, I'll take it."

Three questions? It's an exam again. I had thought that there would be such a disaster, but luck is not a disaster. Anyway, Bao Zheng can't blame himself because he can't answer. Bao Gong's case has heard too much and just gamble. Thinking of the king coming out from behind Wang Anshi, standing in the middle of the room, holding his fist and saying, "Please ask the question"

When Bao Zheng saw Wang Luo Luo generously, he gave a few good comments in his heart and said, "The first question is simple. It's a small case. Listen carefully. I once broke a case in which two women fought for a child. It is said that children are pulling children one by one on their own side. I ordered to divide the children into two, and the case could be settled. Do you know the reason"

He knew that Bao Zheng was the best at observing words and lust. He pretended to think about it, looked at Wang Anshi and Yuan Ze, and saw that they were also at a loss. He was sure that they did not know the case. He smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that the spread of news in no media and newspapers was slow. Moreover, Bao Zheng's story was summarized by later generations, and there were still many people who did not know at that time.

I think it's almost time to think. I can't be smarter than Bao Zheng. Then he looked up at Bao Zheng. Lord Bao was really observing him. Wang said, "It is the child's biological mother who let go first"

After Wang said, Bao Zheng nodded. Seeing that he picked up the pen and paper brush and wrote a poem on it, he said to the king. Take it and read it. Before Wang walked into the table, he raised his hands and read aloud: "Clearing the heart is the root of the root, and the straight way is the plan. The show is finally built, and the fine steel is not made of hooks. The hamster is full of joy, and the grass is full of rabbits and foxes. There is a posthumous lesson in the annals of history, so don't be ashamed of those who come. After reading, he put the paper on the desk with both hands and stood back a few steps.

Bao Zheng looked at Wang Anshi: "This son is very good at breaking words. But there is also the third question.

He paused and looked at the king and said, "Do you know that there are teachings in the annals of history, and don't be ashamed of those who come. What are you talking about?"

The king answered calmly: The former poem was done by Lord Bao, and the legacy mentioned in the poem is Song Taizu's legacy: your salary is Erlu, the people's fat and the people's anointing; the people are easy to be abused, and the heavens are difficult to bully! Bao Zheng patted the table: "Okay, you can teach me!"

After saying that, he said to Wang and Yuan Ze, "You two wait in the hall. I have something to discuss with your father!" After listening, the two of them retreated.

Bao Zheng saw the two of them pushing out and said, "Lord Wang, come closer!"

Wang Anshi left his seat and took two steps forward. Bao Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, do you know the sin!"

Suddenly, Lord Bao asked seriously, "Lord Wang, do you know your guilt!"

Wang Anshi was stunned: "The villain doesn't know, please make it clear"

Bao Zheng glanced at Wang Anshi majestically: "I have sent someone to check it. Before your father and son entered Beijing, few people knew that you had a second son, and the main family had no record. Is there something hidden here?"

When Wang Anshi saw Bao Zheng's question, he did not hide it and replied, "To be honest, the two sons were born almost at the same time, and they never cried after the other child was born. At that time, I felt strange to see that he was motionless, just touching his body temperature and breath. I thought I couldn't survive, so I didn't register. Unexpectedly, he ate and drank as usual. When he was older, he found that he was often in a daze and never spoke. During that time, the king rebelled and advocated witchcraft, and people were panicked. I'm afraid that the child will be designated as unknown, so he has been hiding in the deep house. But I don't know why I entered the capital and got a serious illness because of falling into the water. After recovering from the disease, it was no different from normal people. I also consider that I have no official identity, if I can follow Mr. Bao's front of the hall. Or there will be a place for bravery in the future.

Bao Zheng was very sad after hearing this. His son died in his teens. As a father, he understood Wang Anshi too much. After a long time of meditation, he said, "I pity you as a father's love for your son. This child is very smart, and I don't think he looks like a treacherous sycophant or an omen. If Lord Wang doesn't mind, I have an unsadverted invitation"

"I hope Lord Bao can give me some advice!"

Bao Zheng sighed and said slowly, "Forget it about worshipping the teacher..." After a pause, he seemed to have a decision and an impulse in his heart.

Wang Anshi's heart was half cold, but when he saw that Bao Zheng's words were not finished, it was worth continuing to listen.

Bao Zheng paused for a moment and said, "Today, I saw Ling Lang's sharpness, which reminded me of my son Bao, so I understand your feelings as a father. If Lord Wang doesn't mind, I want to accept him as my adopted son. I don't know what the adults think"

Wang Anshi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Bao!" He was overjoyed, which was too unexpected for him. What's more, Lord Bao was in charge of the three envoys, not to mention the affairs of the household department, and he could also have an official identity.

Seeing that Wang Anshi agreed, Lord Bao said happily, "Call me in!"

The two brothers next to the king were waiting in the porch. Yuan Ze asked the side of the king how he knew which woman gave birth to the child. Wang said lightly, "Because of love, I let go."

He said indifferently, but Yuan Ze grew up and muttered for a long time, "I didn't expect that after my brother recovered from illness, he spoke so profoundly!"

"It's not that I'm profound. It's that Bao Xiangye's topic is too simple." Wang is telling the truth. Bao Zheng's three questions are quite suspicious of being released, which is too simple for him.

Yuan Ze curled his lips and said, "Well, I just praised you a few words. However, brother, you are really amazing. I didn't expect to have such a deep understanding and attainability when I first recovered from a serious illness. I really envy you.

Do you envy me? Why don't I let dementia for more than ten years? Or let you go back hundreds of years and try it? Wang thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say so. He smiled. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw the old housekeeper coming towards them: "Two princes, Prime Minister Bao is invited."

"Go! What do you think our father and Prime Minister Bao muttered just now? As the two walked, Wang asked.

"Well, maybe you didn't pass!" After saying that, Yuan Ze felt a little pity.
