Chapter 213 The Prime Minister has a trust

Wang thought of Qin Minxue, who was young but spoiled and arrogant, so he asked Zhong Chen, "King Ying, I asked you about a person. I came back from the State of Liao and passed through Baozhou and was ordered to go to Goryeo. At that time, it was a 17- or 18-year-old boy, but I didn't know him at all, and his behavior was quite arrogant. It seemed that his surname was Qin. Can Zhong Pin know this person in the court, and can this person be in the capital?

"The surname is Qin." Zhong Yin thought for a moment. Before his father ascended the throne, there seemed to be one surnamed Qin in the mansion, but he was not seventeen or eighteen years old, so he said, "There is one surnamed Qin, and he has some connections with Ruowu. The person who went to Jincheng to check Ruowu's land is Qin Minzhi, an official of the Ministry of Household, but that person is in his thirties, and It's not what my brother said. He is seventeen or eighteen years old.

The king thought to himself: Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne and changed his blood. I'm afraid that many newly appointed officials have not been in the court, and it is inevitable that there are many faces. Since Zhong Chen does not know this person, maybe the surname Qin is just a small official, and it is not impossible to bluff on the basis of the holy life,

The three of them put down this matter and chatted for a while. Yuan Ze persuaded the brothers again. Seeing that Wang had resigned, he did not say much. Ying Wang Zhongzhen ordered Kejun and others to come to see the king. These are all brothers who had been on the battlefield together. Naturally, their feelings were different from ordinary masters and servants. Wang's side remembered the matter of Tong Xiao again. Zhongzhen promised to enter the palace again. At that time, when I brought Tong Xiao back, Wang Bian felt a little relieved,

Zhongzhen and Yuanze were sent away. It was already dark. The lamp was lit in the hall of Meyer's house, and the food was placed on the hall. Everyone sat around but no one touched the chopsticks. Except for the king, they were all mixed feelings. It was sad that such a thing happened in the house, but it was also in my heart to see that the king came back and sit with everyone. Comforted,

At this time, Wang's mind was full of going to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow. He was distracted. The food was cold. Everyone still didn't move chopsticks and couldn't bear it, so he greeted everyone. Everyone took a few bites,

The king returned to the room. There was a fire inside. There was a little warmth. The king lay in a daze. At this time, his heart was blank, and his mind was blank. Suddenly, he saw the figure in front of the door shaking. A woman's figure was by the door. He hesitated and turned around and left. Wang knew that it must be Rouer and left the most Well, Wang also wanted to be quiet. He got up and came to the table, lit up the candlelight photovoltaic case and wrote his resignation.

To be said little by little, everything should be done one by one, just like the king was confused before he returned to the capital. When he really came back to face it, it was much easier to deal with one by one than he expected. At least now his godfather, Prime Minister Bao and his mentor, General Yue Feidiqing, finally have the supreme glory to bury the imperial mausoleum. And now he knows that the moon is peaceful, and maybe his child is still alive,

The next morning, the king went to the Shangshu Mansion first and told the prime minister Han Qi. Zeng Gongliang the results of this mission. Because Yang Shihan had already reported it once in advance, the king did not need to repeat it. Then the king took out the resignation and handed it to the two prime ministers.

Han Qi took over the resignation with a heavy face. After reading it, he handed it to Zeng Gongliang and said to the king, "Why does Wang Shilang have to be like this? It is indeed an unfortunate thing that his wife passed away, but it is not a heavy mourning. I think we can ask the emperor to give Wang Shilang a month's official leave. What do you think?"

Zeng Gongliang listened to Han Qi's advice and said earnestly, "Yes, Wang Shilang is young and talented. Now the new emperor has not been on the throne. It is the time to use people. Wang Shilang has just made great contributions. Why should he break his official career at this time?"

The king smiled and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the two prime ministers. Although the loss of my wife is not a heavy loss, when my wife suffers for the court, I am ashamed of abandoning my wife and children for the matter of the court. I dare not complain to the court. Now that my private property is also suspected of damaging the tax of the country, I want to resign and return to my hometown. Save yourself, not to mention that the loss of his wife is not a heavy loss, but Prime Minister Bao is my godfather, and I am the only son who can wear filial piety and guard the funeral. I also want to do my filial piety, and I hope the two prime ministers will be complete.

Han Qi shook her head. This Wang side really made him, an old minister, love and hate. He felt that Wang side was stubborn and talented. Wang side was also Han Qi's growing up. In Han Qi's eyes, Wang side was a wild horse that no one could tame. Although the battle achievements were tiring, it was difficult to **,

Han Qi is different from Zeng Gongliang. Retaining the king's side is nothing more than a scene. After a few words, he gave up. Seeing the king's side is stubbornness, Zeng Gongliang still wants to keep him. Han Qi thought that this old Zeng's new prime minister has not been taught by the king's side. I, Lao Han, will not go through this muddy water. Who knows that Emperor Yingzong deliberately does not want the king's side to stay in the court, but After all, the king is more effective than the monkey cub. Maybe he will be offended if he comes back one day. After thinking about it, Han Qi decided to stay away from right and wrong.

Seeing that Zeng Gongliang was still about to speak, he stood up and frowned: "Oh, Mr. Zeng, my head hurts a lot. I'm afraid I'm suffering from some wind and cold. You can persuade Wang Shilang again. I'll ask for a leave to rest."

Zeng Gongliang and Wang Zong looked at Han Qi. Seeing that he frowned, Zeng Gongliang hurriedly said, "Mr. Han, I can't persuade this Wang Shilang alone. Alas, let's see you rest first."

"Then I'll go too. I have to go to Kaifeng Mansion." Wang said that he wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Zeng Gongliang again: "Wang Shilang, stay, I still have a few words to say."

If the king has not sent a mission to Liao, I'm afraid that Zeng Gongliang should be polite to the position of prime minister. However, when he came back from Liao, the king looked at Zeng Gongliang, the old prime minister, differently. The king once heard Xin Zan say that on New Year's Day this year, the envoy of Liao sent envoys to celebrate the Song Dynasty, and the court gave a banquet to Zichen Hall as usual. When Emperor Yingzong was sick, he ordered the prime minister Zeng Gongliang to invite various countries to the banquet in the Zichen Hall.

At that time, the envoy of Liao thought that this was a violation of the customs and lost their dignity, so he did not want to attend. Zeng Gongliang said rudely, "If you don't go to the banquet, it is a dishonest to the king's life. If you don't get better, you ask him to come in person. What's your intention?" After listening to this reasonable words, the messenger had nothing to answer, so he had to sit down obediently. When they returned to Liao, they talked about it. Xin Zan also joked: It seems that the Song Dynasty is not only the king Shilang who is tough on the outside world, but also the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He will not give up when things happen,

Now listening to the old prime minister have something to say to himself, the king was in awe and naturally did not dare to insist, so he said respectfully, "Please make it clear to the prime minister."

Zeng Gongliang brushed his beard, looked at the side of the king, and paused and said, "Dong during the Qingli period, the old minister put forward the idea of "choosing a general" to strengthen his military readiness in response to the shortcomings of the times. I think that the way to choose a general is only available for judging his talents, not to leave it from afar, not to abandon it with lowly, not to be defraud, not to abolish it with sin. Now it will not The reason for being competent is not that there is no general in the world, but that he can't be selected, or he can't use people to give full of his talents. Now the court has been considering the advice of the old minister. If he has good political achievements in three years, he will be promoted to official position. If he has outstanding political achievements in two terms, he will be promoted to an envoy. If he has no achievements, he will be deposed. Wang Shilang has only been an official for two or three years and has repeatedly made amazing achievements. With Wang Shilang's current official resources, you can definitely achieve more than the second grade without a fewren. Wang Shilang, you are so young and there are many good prospects. Why give up halfway?

Wang listened and was silent for a long time. He looked up at Zeng Gongliang and looked at each other. Wang side smiled: "I thought that when he was in the State of Liao, the Liao ministers recited Zeng Xiang who was upright and unyielding. Therefore, I respected Zeng Xianggong. I didn't expect that Zeng Xianggong came to persuade him to live a late life, which was nothing more than It's fame and fortune in officialdom. Thank you for your good intentions. In the late life, I just want to bury my wife and find my son's whereabouts. As for the future, I don't want to think about it now.

He didn't wait for Zeng Gongliang to speak and resigned again: "In the evening, I still have to go to Kaifeng Mansion to learn about the fire in my house, so I say goodbye to Zeng." After saying that, get up and salut,

Zeng Gongliang snorted helplessly: "Wang Shilang, now there are only you and me in the room. I just want to say that if you listen, you will listen. If you don't listen, I will report your resignation tomorrow morning."

"Please make it clear."

"Next to the king, you said that Wansheng was modest, so I asked you from the perspective of a teacher. Are you worthy of the respect of the previous emperor and the support of your godfather, Prime Minister Bao?"

Wang side did not expect that Zeng Gongliang, the prime minister who rarely had sex with him, actually taught him a paternalistic tone, and the lesson was full of words. Wang side smiled bitterly. He was originally an ordinary person. He was young and frivolous, and competitive, and he was exposed everywhere. Now he eats his fruit and his wife and children, but Zeng Gongliang is a little brighter. It's not wrong, and I can't refute it.

Seeing that the king was not speechless, Zeng Gongliang said, "The former emperor has always had a wish to recover Yan Yun one day, but the house is kind-hearted and afraid of hurting the innocent people in the world. However, the peace of the world is not just a wish that can be achieved. Wang Shilang has such talent, that is, he can not fight against the soldiers of the people in the Western Xia Dynasty, and can also use the army of Liao to help Goryeo defeat the Japanese slaves, so Why is Xiongcai not committed to loyalty to the court? If you don't fight for the peace of the world, if you fight, you will recover Yan Yun, but the previous emperor's wish, and you are not worthy of the previous emperor's repeated protection.

Thinking of Emperor Renzong, Wang was even more sad. He whispered, "I am not an unintentional person, and I am not ambitious. However, since Zeng Xiang knew that I was protected by the previous emperor, he must know that I was not easy to gain a foothold in the court. Even if I was afraid, it was useless."

Listening to Wang's words, Zeng Gongliang patted Wang's side: "Young man, I'm very clear about your situation. Today, I don't insist on persuading you to stay in office. It's always right to take a break. Now Prime Minister Han Qi and I can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, but looking down on the officials of the whole dynasty, it is difficult to find a humanistic martial arts talent. I miss me to be with your adoptive father Bao Zheng. The exam is also very close, so if you still take care of Prime Minister Bao and the favor of the former emperor Renzong, I would like to ask you to do something in the era of rest.

"Alas." Wang Zong sighed deeply: "Please tell me that Wansheng will try his best."

Seeing Wang say so, Zeng Gong said, "You come to my house tonight, and I have something important to talk to you about."
