So Wang Anshi took his seat, ranked only below Confucius.

Confucius couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly stepped aside and asked Wang Anshi to take his seat.

Wang Anshi declined in fear.

Zi Lu was outside and was very angry when he saw it. He ran to the ceremony room to find Gongye, the son-in-law of Confucius. He dragged Gongye out of the Confucius Temple and cursed him.

Gongye said in confusion: "What mistake did I make? Why are you scolding me?"

Zilu pointed to the palace: "You don't know how to protect your father-in-law. Look at someone else's son-in-law (Cai Bian)."

That drama brought Cai Jing, Cai Bian, and Wang Anshi to such extremes that it was first performed this year.

In order to consolidate their status, Cai Jing and Cai Bian persuaded Song Huizong to pursue Wang Anshi as King of Shu last year.

Before that, Wang Anshi had already worshiped in the Confucius Temple.

As soon as the title is changed, the seat order should also be changed. Confucius and Wang Anshi are both kings, while Mencius, Yan Hui and others are all dukes.

Word spread among the people that Wang Anshi was going to be ranked second in the Confucius Temple. The scholars were so indignant about this that they wrote a drama to satirize the matter without giving Xianggong Cai any face.

The incident at the Confucius Temple was one of the main reasons why Wang Anshi was cast aside by Confucian scholars, and the rumors became more and more true as they spread, and even the great Confucian scholars of the time expressed their objections.

The current "Yang Taizhen Gaiden" satirizes Cai Jing overtly and covertly, and it is probably also affected by last year's Confucius Temple incident.

If Wang Anshi knew about it underground, he would probably open up the coffin board, run out and give Cai Jing a good beating.

Time gradually passed, Fatty Zheng ordered some food and drinks, and the three of them ate and drank in the restaurant.

Until evening, we went to Zheng's house together.

The guest room has been arranged and the luggage is in the guest room. Zhu Ming lives in the east wing and Bai Chongyan lives in the west wing. They are all in the same courtyard.

As soon as I moved out of my chair and sat down to chat in the yard, someone suddenly came in.

Zheng Yuanyi was dressed up, not only with hair accessories on her head, but also some jade ornaments hanging on her body, making it look like she was going to worship Buddha.
