Chapter 127 Sima persuaded the prince

When several adults were waiting for Zhao Shu in the hall, they were still talking about the affairs of the court. Han Qi didn't look at Sima Guang, who was sitting on one side. He said to Zeng Gongliang, who was sitting opposite him, "How can trade be easily talked about? In case it affects the security of the border, it's not trivial."

Zeng Gongliang didn't want to tell Han Qi that he was not as rushed as Sima Guang, but he insisted that trade was a good thing and said gently: "Song and Liao have been doing business for decades. Although the Song Dynasty gave Liao some treasure cloth every year, he could finally make money back because of trade. I don't see anything wrong with the border.

Han Qi was very unconvinced. In those years, he led troops to fight with Xixia: "The party people are naturally different from the Liao Dynasty. They are all extremely vicious people. I'm afraid that they will give them a step."

Zeng Gongliang saw that Han Qi was endless and took a look at Sima Guang: "Didn't Lord Sima also offer suggestions? Trade is not casual, and the details have to wait for the emperor's judgment." He wants to guide the topic to Sima Guang.

Han Qi took a look at Sima Guang, and Sima Guang didn't answer. He didn't want to argue with them at all. Even if he argued that Han Qi was not an opponent, Zeng Gongliang was more than 60 years old. In case he was angry, Sima Guang shook his fan. It seemed that Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang said that they had nothing to do with him. No.

Seeing Sima Guang like this, Han Qi felt that it was boring to talk more, and simply calmed down without saying anything.

Zhao Zhongzhen returned to the hall from the inner house. Seeing several adults with calm faces, he muttered in his heart that he didn't know the situation, but Zhao Shu didn't want to come out, so Zhongzhen had to bravely hand over several ministers and said politely, "My father has been irritable and unwell recently. Please forgive me if I can't see the guests.

Several people looked at each other with helplessness in their expressions. Han Qi and the new prime minister, Zeng Gongliang, shook his head and got up first to leave.

Han Qi shook her fat body and muttered as she walked, "It's just a prince, so it's hard to see." Ouyang Xiu coughed and seemed to remind Han Qi not to say what should not be said.

Zeng Gongliang is a little sorry. Since he was appointed as prime minister, he has rarely had a chance to see the prince. He said, "Let's go, let's go, come back another day," urging Han Qi, who blocked half of the aisle.

Liu Chang, Ouyang Xiu and others had to follow him. The group went out of the prince's mansion, and Zhao Zhongzhen sent him out of the house all the way. I said goodbye to all of you. I was relieved to see you shaking your head and sighing that you should get on the sedan chair, and you should get on the horse and leave the mansion.

Zhong Pin didn't understand what was wrong with his father. The kind father in the past seems to have become a little unreasonable. But no matter what, he is also his father. How can he complain as a child? He walked down to the hall from the door of the house. As soon as he entered the hall and looked up, he suddenly found that Lord Sima was holding a fan in his hand, flashing slowly, and still sitting in the hall.

Sima Guang was not in a hurry to leave. Zhao Shu, before Renzong's illness, tried his best to seize every opportunity he could decide. Now he suddenly becomes a waiter for the throne. At present, Zhao Shu is like a frightened little sparrow. How can he come out with so many people?

This kind of gap seems to be understandable. Thinking that he was famous at the age of seven, he was ambitious when he was a young man. Now he has not been an embarrassed man before he became an advice official in the academy, so he has decided to put a treasure on the prince.

When Sima Guang saw Zhao Zhongzhen sent the guest back to the hall, he smiled and said, "It's annoying to say to the prince again: Sima Guang asked to see him alone."

Zhao Zhongzhen was a little hesitant. He just stood there and invited his father for a long time. He refused to come out. Will he come out now because he is alone?" This? ..." Zhong Pin was a little embarrassed.

Sima Guang looked at Zhong Pin. Obviously, the child's personality was different from his father: in addition to having the politeness he should have, the teenager was very independent. I heard that he did Yunxuan with Wang, Yun Zhe, and he also did a very good job.

He was very clear in his heart that what Zhao Shu was most afraid of was that his foundation was unstable and he did not have any achievements to convince the public. The person he was most worried about was a person with prestige in the hearts of the people, so he said to Zhao Zhongzhen: "The prince is a person who knows the importance of the general public. He should know that the position of your father's prince is not easy to get. If he refuses to come to see him, please tell him now. In Japan and the dynasties, there was a discussion about the Xixia trade and the urgent call of the king back to Beijing.

When Zhong Pin heard the news of Wang, he couldn't help but be happy. He and Wang were not close to each other, but he always felt that Wang was a brother that he could trust. And he was very envious of the free and easy side of the king, and admired the righteousness of the side of the king. He wanted to ask Wang about his recent situation, but he felt that Sima Guang was dull. He remembered that there was a generation gap between them and those old officials!

Zhong Pin thought of the generation gap and resisted the idea of inquiring about the news from the king. He said respectfully to Sima Guang, "Then please ask Lord Sima to wait for a moment." With that, he turned around and went into the inner house for the second time to invite his father.

Before he took a step, Zhao Shu had turned out from behind the screen. It turned out that he had been here for a long time. Zhao Shu waved his hand and retreated. Zhong needle said goodbye to his father and Lord Sima, ran out of the house and went straight to Wang Anshi's house.

When Sima Guang saw Zhao Zhongzhen leave, he came straight to the point and asked Zhao Shu, "Why did the prince pretend to be ill? Do you have a problem with the emperor? Sima Guang knew that if he asked about the disease first, Zhao Shu must have a lot of reasons to wait.

Zhao Shu didn't expect that Sima Guang would ask directly. He planned to ask about the court, so he sent Sima Guang away. Now that Sima Guang asked, Zhao Shu reluctantly said, "Lord Sima misunderstood. I have no problem with my father?"

After all, Sima is a minister, and he still expects Zhao Shu to ascend the throne in the future, so he changed his words and said, "There are many important things in the court. You have become the prince, and you should pay more attention to the government." This is a heartfelt statement. Zhao Shu should be able to listen to it.

Zhao Shu is most afraid of mentioning the word prince. The prince is the prospective emperor. It is uncertain whether he can really do it for a long time. Besides, he has a knot in his heart: "It's not that I don't want to pay attention to the government. I'm afraid that if I do more, someone will secretly interfere."

When Sima Guang heard this, he felt that Zhao Shu was stingy. He knew that Zhao Shu had old grievances beside the king, so he said, "Jun Mo and the minister care about it. Besides, the world is full of royal people. Since the Taizu, he has not easily punished the minister, but it is just to make the minister loyal."

Zhao Shu was even more depressed when he heard it: "If it's a minister's business, it's much easier. Before I served my father's sickbed, you were also there. As you can see, there are people watching everything I do.

Sima Guang was calm on the surface, but there was a question mark in his heart. He didn't know who the prince was talking about: "The prince is too worried. Who else is monitoring the prince today?"

Zhao Shu was very angry when asked such a question. He stood up and walked in the hall and said, "There are people monitoring me today. Shi Zhicong was sent by the Empress Dowager to monitor me. You said that he was an internal minister and sent someone to serve his father. Why did he follow the room every day? What is it that the Empress Dowager sent to monitor? And he led outsiders to see his father, which was also arranged by the Empress Dowager and brought him in. It's clear that he doesn't trust me."

Sima Guang frowned. Zhao Shu's anger was really for no reason, but after thinking about it, there was no need to defend a eunuch, but this matter was a little strange: "These are not speculated by the prince himself, right?" Sima Guang asked tentatively.

Zhao Shu finally stopped leaving. He looked outside the hall with his hands behind his back. It was sunny outside, but his heart was extremely gray: "I don't have time to speculate. These are what General Manager Ren said." Now he feels that there are not many people who can talk to him. Sima Guang is one.

Sima Guang also more or less suspected that it was the eunuch who was beaten. If he hadn't slandered the favor of the master, he would not have been beaten for no reason. Instead, he went to the Funing Palace to do an errand. But on second thought, now is not the time to follow the prince to care about this. He advised again with earnest words: "Since ancient times, many eunuchs have disrupted the court. It is not appropriate to believe one person's words. Now it is the time for the prince to prove himself. Why lose your tongue because of one or two words."

He saw that the prince's mood calmed down a little, and then said, "Today, above the court, I have recommended the king to Xixia to deal with the details of the discussion. Soon, the king will return to Beijing to meet the emperor to discuss this matter. The prince still doesn't want to go to the court, but he has lost a chance to participate in politics and get political achievements."

When Sima Guang said this, his tone was not like a courtier persuading the prince, but like an unquestionable teacher. The prince sat on the chair decadently and nodded obediently.

Zhongzhen went to Wang Anshi Mansion to look for Yuanze. When Yuanze heard that Wang Bian might come back, he asked Zhongzhen to wait in the garden and went to the study to ask his father for details.

At this time, Wang Anshi was sitting in the study of the house with luck: This Sima Guang is now serving as Tianzhang Pavilion. He is determined to compile "Tongzhi" and writes himself in it. Forget it if you write that you are sloppy. You also write that you have lice on your body. Think about your wife Wu, who is an extremely clean person. Is it that you sloppy like that, and your wife allows you to go to bed together?

The most annoying thing is that Sima Guang also wrote up Wang Anshi's eating fish food at the flower appreciation and fishing banquet. It was obvious that someone teased Wang Anshi, who was fascinated by reading at that time. If you are eating wine or fishing, how can you not recognize fish food? Whether these jokes are against yourself or advice to yourself, they are ultimately private matters. What does it mean to write a historical record in the book?

Usually, Wang Anshi doesn't care about these things. Today, Ma Guang, the boss of the court, recommended Wang to solve the matter of Xixia. Wang Anshi is really a little angry. Wang is his own son. In terms of ability, Wang Anshi absolutely believes in Wang, but after all, Wang is less than 20 years old. He is pushed to the front line by Sima Guang. Moreover, he can't argue about this matter. It is right to serve the court. He can be said to be a loving talent or a good will.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He couldn't help patting the table. It happened that Yuan Ze came in, which scared Yuan Ze. Yuan Ze thought to his mind: Is there anything wrong with the return of the king?
