The next day, it was still snowing in Kaifeng City and it was very heavy.

Zhao Xu was wearing a big jacket, a straw raincoat, a puffed hat, and a homemade fishing rod, and excitedly left the palace.

Chenpi did not follow him, but Tong Guan followed him with a team of casual guards.

Tong Guan is now becoming more and more careful. His past desire to be flattering and pleasing has completely extinguished. He is studying hard and doing things, and he wants to show Zhao Xu his abilities.

Tong Guan was also low-key and careful inside and outside the uterus, for fear of being caught.

The young official in front of him was too cunning and had too much plan, and there were too many eyeliners inside and outside the palace. The consequences of trying to fool him were too terrible!

Zhao Xu played with the fishing rod in his hand and said casually with interest: "Are we taking a boat and fishing on the lake?"

Tong Guan hurriedly said: "Yes, everything has been arranged."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Where is Xiang Gong Wen?"

Tong Guan said: "I've been waiting by the river."

Zhao Xu was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Wen is so old, how can he wait there? Next time, I will take it directly to the palace and take it with me."

"Yes, the villain remembers it." Tong Guan said.

In fact, Wen Yanbo is waiting by the river, and Zhao Xu means.

'This is probably a warning,' Tong Guan thought to himself.

Zhao Xu got on the carriage after leaving the palace. There was a stove on the carriage. After burning for a long time, it became as warm as spring when he sat on it.

Zhao Xu was very satisfied. He sat in the carriage, gathered his clothes, and said to Tong Guan outside: "Do your best in the Privy Council, learn more about how to lead troops from Xianggong Zhang and others. I will find an opportunity next year, and I will let you go out."

Tong Guan hurriedly turned sideways and said, "The villain must study hard and share the worries of the officials."

Zhao Xu leaned on him, thinking about the progress of the prefecture and the "new law".

The Chinese New Year has been around for a few days, and many things must be settled, and people must be decided in advance. He wants to settle the thorns in the court.

The biggest thorn, the one that needs the most, is undoubtedly Wen Yanbo.

This person, from the time he entered the Zhenzong dynasty to the present, has survived the four generations of emperors of Zhenzong, Renzong, Yingzong and Shenzong, and has arrived at Zhao Xu, an old minister of the Five Dynasties!

In his nineties, his influence and persuasion are unparalleled among the "old party".

South of the city, on the moat.

Wen Yanbo stood in the snow, hunched over, and quietly looked at the river.

The river surface was frozen, but a waterway was still chiseled out. On a circular water surface, several boats were coming and going, and they were still busy.

On both sides of the river, plainclothes guards, yellow gates and palace maids stand.

Wen Feng beside Wen Yanbo was so cold that his face turned pale. Looking at Wen Yanbo with his unchanged expression, he glanced around and whispered: "Grandpa, where is this official family?"

It was cold and cold, so it was so unreliable and even outrageous that it was called an old man in his 90s to the river to fish!

Wen Yanbo did not use crutches, just stood there, hunched over, looking at the river surface, and said lightly: "The day before yesterday, the official family went to Su Mansion, which was a respectful and respectful wise man, and he tried to keep Su Zizhan. And I was just a knock."

Wen Fengcheng actually understood in his heart that he just wanted to know something deeper, and looked around again, saying, "Great Grandpa, what the official did is too obvious."

Wen Fengcheng carefully learned about the young official's rule in advance and forced Empress Dowager Gao to retreat. He knew that this young official was meticulous and did not miss the work. He wanted to win over or beat him up, but he had some means, and he should not do such an old minister in all dynasties so obviously.

It's too illegitimate and style of the official family.

Wen Yanbo held his hands and said, "It's not obvious, it's natural. The official told me that I can only be honest and obedient. Now I can still maintain such a 'customed' level. Otherwise, it would be a disaster."

Wen Fengcheng thought of the Royal Piao again, and his scalp was a little numb, saying, "Great grandpa, the Ministry of Justice is doing more and more movements. Jie Xiu sent a message saying that the Ministry of Justice has sent a lot of people."

Wen Yanbo chuckled and said, "If it were an official, he would definitely not do this. It should be the work of that grandmaster. This is also a warning, don't worry."

Wen Fengcheng was in a flash of thought. Zhang Dun really wanted to take their handles. It was impossible for him to make such a big fuss. Most of them still wanted to control them, or his great-grandfather.

Wen Yanbo watched the people on the river start to get ashore one after another, and said, "The official family is coming soon. I will find an opportunity to let you say something later. You can speak well, and then go to the Political Affairs Hall to help me."

Wen Fengcheng was shocked and said, "Can the official family agree?"

Wen Yanbo suddenly smiled and said, "It's OK."

Wen Fengcheng looked tense. He understood that if his grandfather gave too much, the government would not agree to the small request.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw a carriage walking slowly in the snow and soon arrived at the riverside.

With the help of Wen Fengcheng, Wen Yanbo walked towards the carriage.

Zhao Xu got out of the carriage, holding his homemade fishing rod in his hand. When he saw Wen Yanbo wanting to salute, he smiled and said, "I'm not giving a gift. Let's fish today, so don't have those false gifts."

Wen Yanbo bowed tremblingly and said, "Old minister thanks the official family."

Zhao Xu was very excited. Looking at the lake and the snow falling sporadically, he walked forward and said, "We are all busy people, don't delay, go, go fishing first."

"Yes." Wen Yanbo's voice was a little weak, and he followed him very slowly, and he needed Wen Fengcheng's support.

A total of four people got on the boat and came to the bow. Zhao Xu and Wen Yanbo sat down, Tong Guan and Wen Fengcheng were with them.

The boat came to the center of the chiseled ice surface, threw down the hook, and began to concentrate on fishing.

No one spoke.

The fish seemed to have hibernated too, and there was no hook biting. Except for the snow on the lake, the rest of the lake was very quiet.

Wen Yanbo held the fishing rod in his hand, and even though the snow continued to fall in his hand, he still remained motionless. His face was as calm as before, and his eyes were quietly looking at the fish mark.

Zhao Xu wore gloves in both hands, and the whole package was tightly wrapped, with a smile on his face.

The two of them had no voice, and Tong Guan and Wen Fengcheng were like two stones, without any reaction.

There were more and more snowflakes, and both of them were covered with snow, and no one spoke.

Zhao Xu held the fishing rod in his hand and leaned against the chair. Although he looked at the fish mark, he was thinking about the matter in the bureau.

These things are very complicated and need to be sorted out slowly.

Perhaps because of the change of environment, Zhao Xu's thinking was very clear. Many things were thought through thoroughly, and the more they thought, the smoother they were, gradually immersed in it, completely forgetting that he was fishing, and there was also Wen Yanbo next to him.

Wen Yanbo is a mature person, and he is not even more determined. Even if he is over 90 years old, ordinary people will definitely not be able to withstand him while sitting like this.

Wen Fengcheng couldn't hold on anymore. He was covered in snow, trembling, but he forced himself to look at Tong Guan next to him.

I saw him bent over, his body was covered with snow, but there was no coldness at all, just like usual, respectful and still as pineapple.

Wen Fengcheng gritted his teeth secretly, shrank his neck and stood up.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, Wen Yanbo’s fish mark swayed, and a little water mark appeared on the water surface.

Wen Yanbo's expression was a little focused.

Zhao Xu still didn't move and was still immersed in thinking.

Wen Yanbo's old face twitched, he closed his eyes a little, and then continued to stare at the water.

The snow stopped at some point, and a trace of sunlight appeared in the sky.

Tong Guan looked up and found it was almost noon.

Tong Guan looked at Zhao Xu's back and looked at Wen Yanbo from the bottom of his eyes, patiently without saying a word.

He knew very well that the two of them were fighting, and the officials were deliberately leaving Wen Yanbo alone, and Wen Yanbo refused to speak first. As soon as he opened his mouth, he lost the initiative, and the room for maneuvering for what happened later was greatly reduced.
