Cry for Song

Chapter 231 Seeking Gold to go south

Lu Shenyan's words amused the king. He didn't shop early in his house. Mr. Su really wanted to come out.

Lu Shenyan continued, "You can laugh. Mr. Su said that when you were not at home, the breakfast was not as exquisite as you were at that time. He also asked you when you would go home. I think this gentleman will arrive at breakfast time tomorrow."

Wang listened and laughed. This "S. Su" is really an interesting person. "Well, let the house prepare soup wontons tomorrow and treat this breakfast Su"

Lu Shenyan answered, "Yes, then I'll quickly let the cook hang the soup." He laughed a few times: "Well, my son, there are still gifts for you in the past few days. This is new. Since the death of the new emperor, there have been very few people in the house who came to give gifts. After the accident in our Jinxiang Mansion, the door of the house has rarely been opened. It's rare that someone came to visit and give gifts. In the past two days, I have visited you to give you a lot of gifts. Is there any news outside, and the prince is going to be promoted again.

"Who gave the gift?" Wang heard someone giving a gift. He was not interested in what kind of gift he gave. The key is who gave the gift.

"I think there are Liao people, Xixia people, Koreans and Japanese people, as well as gade people. By the way, there are also some officials from other provinces who go to Beijing." Lu Shenyan said,

It is not surprising that people from Xixia of Liao and the Japanese country of Korea give gifts. The gifts from the gade can be big or small. After all, there is also Zhang Yi, but it is a little interesting for officials to give gifts: "Where are the officials? Are there any Jincheng?"

Lu Shenyan nodded and said, "I was about to tell you about this. The new county magistrate of Jincheng came yesterday and said that he wanted to see you. This man is still very familiar with you. Do you still remember that when Yunxuan first opened, you entertained a man named Wang Yansuo?"

"Of course, I remember that in those years, the township examination, the provincial examination and the court were all the first three yuan in a row. I met him in Jincheng." Wang was very happy to hear the name of his old friend,

Lu Shenyan said, "He is now the county magistrate of Jincheng. This time he came to Beijing, he was urgently summoned to Beijing. I heard that he just arrived in the capital yesterday and came to you."

Well, this Wang Yansao knows a lot about Jincheng. Presumably he will be able to speak for Cheng Hao, so there will be more victories to take back Jinxiang Mansion.

Wang's speculation is not wrong. This time, Wang Yansuo went to Beijing and said that it was a petition for the people, and he also brought the achievements of what Wang had done in Jincheng. On the court, Ouyang Xiu impeached Qin Minzhi. Li Shen, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, stated the difficulty of the people buying coal, and the three envoys submitted Qin Minzhi's empty accounts to Yingzong.

Yingzong's scolding in his heart, this rubbish, asked him to investigate the king's side. As a result, he made himself coquettish. He wanted to suppress this matter, but the prime minister Zeng Gongliang and Han Qi said: "The emperor is eager to solve the financial disadvantages, but he just overworked and the carelessness of using people, which led to trouble instead of the problems. Renzong's old law Don't change it randomly. Please think twice, and for those who are greedy, severe punishment is also one of the good ways to eradicate the accumulated disadvantages.

This is a good point. When Song Yingzong ascended the throne, he wanted to reform the finances and consult the ministers. However, these old ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one paid attention to them. Yingzong adopted Sima Guang's suggestion. His original intention was good. He wanted to catch a big head and punish local officials and merchants for colluding to sell fields. However, he chose the wrong person and should not choose the king's side. He sent people to do things even more wrongly. He sent Qin Minzhi, who was eager for quick success and short-sighted interests,

Yingzong was dumb and angry. He called the magistrate of Jincheng County to ask again. How did he know that Wang Yansao had lectured in Jincheng and worked as a teacher in the school that sponsored Jincheng next to Wang. Others did not know the situation in Jincheng. How could Wang Yansao not know, not to mention that Wang Yansao went to Jinxiang in person. The government, Qin Minzhi withheld the workers' salaries, regardless of the safety of the workers, and the accidents in the mine killed and injured people, all of which were truthfully reported,

The officials above the court listened and scolded Qin Minzhi one by one. Wang Yansuo also reported that now all the coal fields in Jincheng have been suspended, and the people in Jincheng are difficult to make a living. Some of them have left their hometowns to make a living, and those who are still in Jincheng do not do coal mining in the mine. If the government forcibly pulls people, it is contrary to the peace of the people of the Song Dynasty. The foundation of the country,

How could it be so big? Although Yingzong listened to the cold winter, he also felt sweating on his forehead when sitting on the hall, especially when he heard about the death of coal mining. Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang saw that Yingzong's face was embarrassed and felt that the heat was almost the same, so he asked Wang Yansu, "The magistrate of Wang County has also been in Jincheng for a while. On the same day, it was found that Wang Bian and the former county magistrate had a bad behavior of bribery.

Wang Yansu answered truthfully: "Weichen brought an account, all of which are Wang Shilang and Cheng County's silver exchanges." After listening to this, Emperor Yingzong was a little relieved and finally got the evidence that Wang had, but he heard Wang Yansao continue to say, "These accounts are used to fund the school and sponsor the travel expenses of local candidates to Beijing to take the exam. Wang Shilang and the Cheng county magistrate did not take bribes. Instead, Wang Shilang's Jinxiang Mansion contributed money to expand the city of Jincheng, which is a merit. Achievements."

Yingzong became more and more embarrassed after hearing this. Seeing that Wang Yansuo submitted the account, it was indeed true. He didn't know how to deal with it. Sima Guang stepped forward and said, "The emperor is bound to be deceived by the slander of the villain. I think this matter is all done by Qin Minzhi. It's better for the emperor to dethre the capital with the anger of the common people."

Sima Guang was still considerate and helped Yingzong and himself find the scapegoat at once; this is the same as Yingzong offended the empress dowager but finally beheaded the eunuch Wang Yaochen,

Zeng Gong nodded: "What Sima Hanlin said is very true that the emperor will certainly be like this. Moreover, the emperor wants to be considerate of the people and value the sages of good ministers.

This Gao suddenly set up for Emperor Yingzong. Song Yingzong immediately issued a decree to remove Qin Minzhi's official position and depose him from the capital. Emperor Yingzong ordered the king to go to the palace. In any case, the king was also a meritorious minister. What's more, the king of Song Yingzong's country always had to show some generousness.

These kings don't know for the time being. He is thinking about how to make wontons at this moment.

Is it so important to make a wonton? If it's today, it's not troublesome to make wontons, but it's different in the Song Dynasty, because there were already wontons in the Song Dynasty. There are not only wontons, but also the rich family's pursuit of a strange victory. There are dozens of different kinds of fillings in a bowl of wonton, which are called Baiwei wonton, so what Wang needs to do differently. ,

The king ordered people to make green noodles with the water of blanched vegetables, and then chop them with carrots to make red and yellow noodles. They use these two-color noodles to make skins to make two-color wontons. The cook tried to make them according to Wang's method. As expected, the wontons were very different.

Lu Shenyan asked the king with a smile and said, "Last time the prince said that the egg was made by a divine duck. Let's see what the prince said this."

Wang said with a smile, "If he still comes tomorrow, we won't talk about breakfast." As he spoke, the family came and said that there was a man from the palace. Mr. Xuan entered the palace to face the saint,

Wang posed an OK to Lu Shenyan and said concisely, "It's done."

The king got up and changed his clothes and went into the palace, but Lu Shenyan thought about it there. He said it was done. What does this mean? I can't figure it out. In short, when I returned to the capital from the king this time, it was like a different person.

When Yingzong saw the king's side, he had two prime ministers present, which was nothing more than saying in officialdom. The king's side was more disgusted with Yingzong than hatred. What's more, Yuexia was no longer there. He also felt that he was open to everything. With his current situation, he had no intention to deal with Yingzong. Finally, he got back to the point, that is, he already knew that Jinxiang Mansion was not a bribed by the king. Buying land should be returned. However, in those years, the emperor of Renzong gave the land to the king. At that time, the king was an official in Beijing, and the land was given for horse breeding. Now the king has decided to resign. Is he willing to concentrate on the land of horse farming?

Song Yingzong seemed to be retained. In fact, he knew that Wang Bing didn't intend to be in officialdom, and Wang Bing didn't want to get a horse to tie himself up. What's more, Wang Bing knew that Ma Zheng in the Song Dynasty was not fully open. Renzong was waiting for the opportunity. Renzong was gone. Yingzong Zhao Shu would never let the private horse farm run,

The Jinxiang Mansion and the surrounding land are still owned by the king. The king is willing to return the land given by the previous emperor to express the hearts of the ministers. The king and ministers are happy together. What's more, the king was appointed to secretly investigate the loss of the volume of the General Summary of Wujing. For this reason, the court specially gave the king 500 taels of silver as funds,

The king understood that this was Zeng Gongliang's idea, and it was more in line with Song Yingzong's idea. He sent himself away from afar, but it was also right in his arms. The emperor was far away, and the king was more happy to be free.

The matter of Jinxiang Mansion came to an end, and Wang Bian also officially resigned from office. It was dinner time when he returned to Jinxiu Building. Seeing that the red lights of Jinxiu Building were hanging high, the door was like a city, standing on the street, you could see that the second floor and the third floor were also shining brightly, and he knew that it must be full of Gao Peng. When he entered the Jinxiu Building, Cui Fu was grinning and greeting the guests. He rushed around in a hurry, and the hall on the first floor was also full. When he entered the door to the open space of the counter, there were several chairs, with people sitting on the chairs and standing at the door.

When Cui Fu saw Wang coming in, he hurriedly ran over and wiped his sweat and said, "Sir, you see, these guests are all waiting for their seats. They all came to eat hot pot on this cold day. I really didn't expect this hot pot to be so hot."

"Hehe, old shopkeeper, look at your busy sweat. Don't catch a cold. I'll arrange idle people in the house to help later." Wang said, feeling that the whole lobby made dozens of pots smoked particularly warm.

"Yes, you see, these guests are all for this warmth." The old shopkeeper said with a smile,

"Do you know what this is called? We are happy and warm~"

The old shopkeeper clapped his hands and beat his hands, learning from Wang's side, "happy and warm" with a naive attitude, which made Wang's side laugh,

The king left the Jinxiu Tower and returned to Meyer's house. Now several things have been arranged, leaving this house. If Su Xiao doesn't come tomorrow, he will give up. If he comes, the two-color wonton will take care of him and let him buy Meyer's house.

The side of the five hundred miles of gold is to be decided, because he is going to Guangnan. The side of the king still remembers that when his master Zhang Yi advised him to be kind to you, he mentioned that the area of Guangnan is rich in resources, especially the gold mine, which is priceless. If you take this opportunity to dig gold in the south, it will be really far away from the emperor. Yingzong wants to control him. It can't be controlled, not to mention that kind of place, how can it be peeped at?
