.The Zhi Secret Pavilion in winter is still full of excitement.

At this time, there were already many people in the yard busy preparing to clean or organize the entire Zhi Secret Pavilion, and the bachelors of the Zhi Secret Pavilion also walked out because the study room was also started to be sorted out.

Wang Xian originally wanted to go over to help, but when he looked at Cao Shi beside him, he just smiled at him with his hands behind his back and stayed here until he didn't go back in the evening.

Today, the yard of Zhimi Pavilion was the last day of Zhimi Pavilion this year. Then I had to leave here and start banning the imperial city until after Yuan Ye was over before I could come in.

Wang Xian was in a good mood these days, and now he hummed a small tune and walked home and started to get idle again.

He was fine at home during this period, so he went out for a few walks from time to time and occasionally went to the Imperial Academy to see Qi Wei and others talked about the past. The days passed day by day.

The New Year is still the same as last year's spring talismans, and the entire Bianjing is shrouded in such a festive atmosphere.

After the Spring Festival, a drizzle actually occurred, which was auspicious. The rain stopped from time to time, and the whole of Bianjing ushered in the misty misty rain.

Because of the rainy season, Wang Xian also brought a small umbrella to watch the lights in the rain.

It is the unique flavor that brings some purity to Bianjing. At this time, even the atmosphere of Yuanye has faded a lot. The special lanterns during Yuanye are missing at this time. There are various umbrellas and hats hanging here, which makes people feel that this is a different Yuanye.

There are still many people here, but it is easy to deal with him alone and squeeze in and move around.

After watching for a long time, some simple sheds built with fewer things because there was light rain, so I almost saw the things under the simple shed. He was about to hold his umbrella back but heard a shout and turned his head and said in surprise: "It turns out that it's Brother Cao Yuanye, have you come here to enjoy the lanterns?"

At this time, a young man came over, wearing thick clothes and holding the umbrella, which was Cao Zong, who was the Imperial Academy, looked around and whispered: "Brother Wang, I'm about to go over to find you. But I don't want you, but I'll come here with me and someone is looking for you."

Wang Xian was stunned and asked strangely: "Who is looking for me?"

Cao Zong waved his hand and said, "As an old acquaintance, don't ask more questions, come with me."

At this time, Wang Xian was curious and followed him. He followed him and the two people followed him, not far away. Wang Xian couldn't help but whisper: "There are two people behind him who have been following us."

Cao Zong looked around and made a gesture. The two people immediately walked over and said in unison: "What are the instructions for the young master?"

Wang Xian was stunned and then realized that these two people were Cao Zong's servants who were protecting Cao Zong along the way.

Cao Zong said slowly at this time: "You two will go back first. I have something to do now and I will go back later."

The two men immediately called yes and then gradually moved away.

Wang Xian said at this time: "Where does Brother Cao want to go?"

Cao Zong said, "Brother Wang, you will follow me and wait for a while before you will know."

He took Wang Xian across a street and then walked through several alleys to the door of a big mansion and heard Cao Zong's voice saying, "I have brought the prince Wang here to your son?"

Then an echo said: "The young master was called to the study room by the master."

Wang Xian looked at the house with a very dark sky. The light rain kept falling. Although there were some lights, some places were quietly there. In addition, the sound of rain ticking sounds, they would feel extremely terrifying after watching for a long time. They could only turn their heads and dare not look at the side again.

At this time, Cao Zong pulled Wang Xian over and whispered: "Let's go over quickly and wait and tell you what's going on."

Wang Xian nodded unconsciously and walked in with Cao Zong. Then he walked in the big yard in the night. He watched the lights shine coldly as the nearby washing of light rain, as if the cold stars in the middle of the night could not be seen clearly.

At this time, Cao Zong and Wang Xian walked to the corridor and put the oil-paper umbrella into a house. Then, knocking on the door, a voice suddenly asked, "Who?"

"Brother Juan is me." Cao Zong immediately responded and said, "I called Brother Wang here too."

This place was quiet for a while, Cao Zong was about to call the door again, but unexpectedly the door had opened and then walked out alone and said to Cao Zong, "Xingzhong is so late. I have been waiting for a long time."

The man bowed to Wang Xian at this time and said, "Brother Wang is fine, I've heard that Brother Wang has been in Zhizhi Secret Pavilion to prepare a book, please congratulate me."

Wang Xian heard the voice very familiar, and then looked at the man's face in the moonlight and said in surprise: "It turns out that it was Brother Cai who was here, I didn't know that he was really rude just now."

This person is Cai You, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go in and talk, my father and an old man are inside, and I'll wait and don't talk nonsense."

He walked in first and followed Wang Xian and saw two people talking about a few candles on the platform illuminating a place on this end.

Cai You walked over and said softly: "Master, I'll bring two guests here first."

At this time, Cao Zong had already come forward and bowed first, saying, "My Lord Cai is Cao Zong and Ju'an are the best friends. Today, I'm taking the absurd visit to the door and ask for forgiveness."

Wang Xian also walked up to him. When he saw the man on the left wearing a red robe and a tall hat, he recognized Cai Jing at a glance and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. When he saw the man on the right, he was shocked. This man was the old man he met in the hall of Zhimi Pavilion that day. At that time, he guessed that it was Zhang Chun, the prime minister of the dynasty, that it seemed that it was Zhang Chun.

Cai Jing nodded and said, "It's Nephew Cao, please sit down."

He looked at Wang Xian and was stunned and then said happily: "Wang Xian didn't expect you to come too, so you can sit down too."

The old man also looked at Wang Xian. When he saw Wang Xian staring at him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This young man has a relationship with me. I didn't expect that Yuan Chang also knew him."

Cai Jing was stunned and then smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that Mr. Zhang also knows this young man."

The old man smiled slightly and briefly said about the day in Zhi Secret Pavilion and said, "That day I quickly read the article and thought this boy was good, but I didn't expect that he would be an old acquaintance with Yuan Changnai again, so he was destined to be a fate."

Cai Jing smiled and waved, "Wang Xian, let me introduce you to this position, Mr. Zhang Chun, the prime minister of the dynasty, you had the fate to meet him before, but this time it happened to meet Mr. Zhang again."

Wang Xian couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when he heard this confirmed sentence. If Mr. Zhang really wanted to read the book he had compiled, how should he explain it, but he still had to pretend to be surprised and said something apologized before he could stop.

Cao Zong was already extremely surprised at this time. He hurriedly stood up and said to Zhang Chun, "I heard about Zhang Gong for a long time and didn't expect that I would actually see Zhang Gong today. It's really a blessing for the next hundred years."

Zhang Chun just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Cai Jing said to Cai You at this time: "Ju'an, please take your two close friends to the front hall first to talk about it. Mr. Zhang and I have some things to say."

When he saw Cai You bring Wang Xian and Cao Zong out and close the door, he whispered: "Jun Zhang just said this and Yuan Chang felt cautious. Now that King Duan ascended the position of Dabao, it is a theorem. We are ministers, we must naturally think that we should devote ourselves to the new king. We must not have the intention."

Zhang Chun's face became even stronger. At this time, he said, "Zeng Bu is really confused. I have long said that King Duan is too frivolous. How can I rule the world? Now, I can't say that the emperor is mourning, and the new emperor is buried in the imperial tomb. The empress dowager is behind the curtain. The officials reward and punishment are all things. Otherwise, Zeng Bu will be ruined again."

Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor's great funeral will begin tomorrow. The imperial tomb has started construction. The day of the great funeral is that the new emperor registers the things Zhang Gong thinks of. However, once the new emperor ascends the throne, Yuan You and others will probably be rekindled. This is the importance of everything!"

Zhang Chun nodded and said, "Yuanyou and others will definitely return to the court, so I can't give them any chance. I have already started to report a list to prepare to recommend everyone. The Yuanyou Party members took this opportunity to enter the court to reverse right and wrong."

Cai Jing felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Does the emperor agree to such an promotion? What will the Queen Mother say?"

Zhang Chun waved his hand and said, "The Empress Dowager must be kept behind the curtain for all promotions. However, this matter is customized and it is not wrong. I probably can't sit still."

Cai Jing looked at him in surprise.

Zhang Chun sighed and said, "That day, the Empress Dowager asked who should be the king, and I said that King Shen had already had a conspiracy and favoritism in my heart. I was impulsive and said that King Duan was not frivolous enough to rule the world. In the end, Zeng Bu and everyone agreed with the Queen Mother. I had no choice. Although this matter was small, I had offended the new emperor and thought I would be eliminated in the future."

Cai Jing thought about it and realized that Zhang Chun also began to think about the way out. The person he reported now was to recommend an acquaintance and let him have influence even if he stepped down in the court. Cai Jing couldn't help but smile in his heart but didn't say anything.

Zhang Chun sighed and said, "I suddenly remembered that the young man Wang Xian was about the same age as the new emperor and was a erudite general. If he was added to the lecturer of the imperial lecture, would it be so good?"

Cai Jing was stunned for a long time before saying, "Wang Xian is just a young man in Zhi Se Pavilion, but now he is just a servant. How can he hold a lecture? Besides, although his ranks of imperial court are low, they are all great scholars in the dynasty explaining scriptures to the emperor. How can he reassure the scholars of the world? Why don't the court officials start to make trouble?"

Zhang Chun waved his hand and said, "If I have any concerns about this, you don't have to worry about Yuan Chang. I just saw Juan and looked busy. I thought he would have something to come to you, so I won't stay here for a long time. Tomorrow, you still have to filial piety on white cloth. You can prepare for it."

He got up and Cai Jing immediately stood up and ordered the carriage until he saw Zhang Chun away. He frowned and walked several steps in the study. Then he walked to the chair and hurriedly flirted through the book as if he was looking for something. Finally, he nodded gently and wrote down something on the paper with a pen.

…………

The rain was still slightly underground.

The night rain without the moon is really like a little thief who sneaks into the corridor in the night. If the window on the eaves is not closed tightly, the thief will immediately run towards the window and secretly wet the ground in the house. The breeze, who is an accomplice at the table, sat aside gloating and looked like a naughty child, and was filled with joy.

At this time, the night was already a little cold. Wang Xian sat in the house and approached the stove inside the house and asked, "Brother Cai is coming down today, sure is there something to give me?"

Cai You sighed slightly and said, "Brother Wang has passed away."

He said this and almost made Wang Xian fall down. He saw Cai You's face steady and then believed it and said, "Why should we not accept filial piety when the emperor dies?"

Cai You sat next to the stove and called Cao Zong again and then said: "I will start to accept filial piety tomorrow. Although the people do not know about the news, they have already begun to notify officials from major counties outside the court. Three days later, the new emperor will start boarding the plane."

Cao Zong sighed and said, "The emperor is wise to open the border to the inner and Anbang, but at the time of ambition, he actually returned to Tianwu and others to hear this bad news. Everyone was heartbroken and wished they could die to repay you!"

Wang Xian couldn't help but smile and saw what Cao Zong said so movingly, although he could know what he was thinking in his heart? After all, he was just a scholar and had not really received the emperor's favor of saying such words, it would be considered a waste.

But the new emperor is about to ascend the throne? This new emperor is Song Huizong. He mentioned in his heart that he is getting closer and closer to what he wants to live in history. His current dream of a strong soldier has not really begun!

Cai You saw Wang Xian sitting there motionlessly, and said, "Although the emperor died and returned to heaven is a misfortune of the country, this is the way of heaven and not human power. I asked Brother Wang to come tonight, and there are really important things to ask for."

Wang Xian was stunned and said, "Brother Cai said that as long as he puts his strength, everyone will obey his orders."

Cai You sighed at this time: "Do you know who this new emperor is?"

Wang Xian shook his head and said, "I don't know if the emperor has arranged the matter of the crown prince, but we cannot measure it."

Cai You waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, this new emperor, I have known each other for three days, especially Brother Wang, you have a close relationship with him. I think it will be a matter of raising your hand in the future."

Wang Xian burst out and said, "Is it Your Highness Duan?"

Cai You nodded and said nothing at this time, just staring at Wang Xian quietly.

Wang Xian was extremely upset in his heart and never thought that King Duan became the emperor. Is he the Song Huizong mentioned in history? What changes will happen to the Song Dynasty under his control now?

He suddenly felt a little chill and touched his face with his hand. The small raindrops floated on his face. He leaned slightly to the fire and then said in a deep voice: "I never thought that His Highness Duan became the emperor, Duan was a gentleman. I will be blessed in the future."

Cao Zong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wang, you are considered a noble person. I will rely on Brother Wang to support you in the future."

Wang Xian looked at Cai You and saw a little smile on his face and asked, "What should I give to you today?"

Cai You said slowly at this time: "Three days of mourning and giving a great gift is a chance for us and everyone else. So I want Brother Wang, you are the attendant of the ritual, to accompany the emperor back to Funing Hall to explain the old things. Maybe the emperor will keep you by your side in the future and become a prosperous place."

What he said was quite tempting, which made Wang Xian nodded secretly. This era is naturally the fastest to climb with the emperor, and what he wants to do in the future also needs to be at a high level. Therefore, it is definitely a shortcut.

His eyes looked at Cai You and Cao Zong and he couldn't help but wonder why they didn't do this?

Cai You said softly as if he saw Wang Xian’s doubts: “Many people and Xingzhong know each other and I can see through it, it will be quite troublesome. Brother Wang, you are a commoner first, but now you are still in a small position. Everyone is not ashamed of it. Just as you can be a ritual servant, Brother Wang, what do you think?”

Only then did Wang Xian understand this opportunity in his heart, but they had already seen it but did not dare to try it rashly, so he looked for himself and smiled and said, "Why don't you agree with what Brother Cai said?"

Cao Zong laughed and said, "You and I will also be loyal to each other in the future, and share the honor and disgrace. Brother Wang lives next to the emperor and settles in the court and in the Imperial Academy. It is really wonderful to complement each other."

Cai You also smiled and said, "What Xingzhong said is that we will take care of each other in the future."

Wang Xian quickly said that he had told Cai You some specific things to pay attention to by the officials and servants, and he said goodbye before he could tell him.

At this time, Cai Youfang was going to find a carriage to take him back, but Wang Xian refused. He opened his oil paper umbrella and walked in the drizzle of Bianjing and was nostalgic everywhere.

There was no one on the street. At this time, the rain was very light, but there was still a sound of slapping on the paper umbrella. He was a little irritated and simply put the paper umbrella down and took a walk in the rain.

The spring rain makes people feel cold and walk in the rain. Facing the little rain, you can only let go of what you think in your heart and walk forward step by step.

At this time, I don’t think about anything and can’t think about it. Only by moving forward can I feel the taste of the rain.

He walked to the house and his clothes were wet. He knocked on the door and went back to the bedroom. Wang Deming had already sent someone to dry the clothes. He changed it out in a few seconds and wiped his head dry and lay on the bed and sighed softly.

Now it has arrived a new era, but no one knows whether this era is going to be prosperous or destruction.

But this is definitely an opportunity for me. If I seize this opportunity, it will definitely help the future things and my dreams will be realized slowly.
To be continued...
