Chapter 113(1/3)

.Spring has arrived.

Although the signs are not very obvious, occasionally when I look around, there is a little green in the yard. The spring breeze blows on my face and blows away. One or two green branches begin to appear on the big pond that has just thawed for a while and dye the dead branches a little green.

The court has been completely renewed these days as vigorous as early spring.

The Empress Dowager is old and she is virtuous by nature and she is unwilling to interfere in political affairs. She cannot withstand Zhao Ji's request and begins to rule the country from behind. At this time, all appointments are ready. Zhao Ji thinks to use the former Yuanyou old minister to make peace in the world.

Wang Xian was indeed ordered to be a storyteller by the emperor's edict. He knew that he could not be praised, so he always avoided the officials in the court every time he waited for the emperor to return in the palace and said that it was only in the afternoon that he could be worthy of his job.

This place was pure, but the momentum of the imperial city still made him unable to adapt to it. He was sitting on a desk and there were a lot of books on it, but Wang Xian did not take it to take a look.

The spring sunshine is pretty good. The pillars of the palace are covered with light and reflecting a little bit of shadows, but the sunshine cannot penetrate into the palace.

Wang Xian sat here motionless and suddenly stood up as if he heard a sound. Then he heard a sound outside and immediately walked to the middle and saw Zhao Ji walking in. He followed many eunuchs behind him. The palace maid immediately knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor, my majesty!"

Zhao Ji raised his hand at this time and said, "Flat."

At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids outside all tactfully retreated back to Zhao Ji walked to the top desk and sat down and said, "Wang Xian, I have calculated a big shot today, that old man Zhang Chun was speechless by me. It seems that he is not far from the day of returning home to retire."

Wang Xian stood up and sat on the desk on the right. At this time, he heard Zhao Ji's tone and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the emperor must feel very satisfying."

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "It's not just a great pleasure! I'm so happy that I can't tell you today, so just listen to me."

Seeing that he said this, Wang Xian said in a low voice: "I will listen to the emperor's words."

In fact, the matter was already expected by everyone. Since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he had already seen and heard about it. He saw it clearly inside and outside the court. He issued two edicts today. The empress dowager agreed without asking anything.

First, the Song Dynasty was very open-minded in speaking, but in fact, censors often offend powerful people and sometimes even the emperor was not happy, so there was a Zhang Shuju who specially compiled some of the remarks of ministers, so even the censors had to weigh the matter when they were speaking.

This time, Zhao Ji made a deliberate statement. After all, there are all dissatisfied with each other in the court. He wanted to eliminate some evil people. The government must pass the imperial edict. Therefore, he also spoke with polite words. "Anything that my lack of government orders is appropriate and customs are simple, we must make suggestions for those who speak in Beijing to the three provinces and six ministries and outside the courts who speak in the state army will not be punished."

This made the court breathe a sigh of relief, and all the ministers were very interested at first.

Another thing is that the promotion of the official, Han Zhongyan, the prefect of Daming Prefecture, was promoted to the Minister of Personnel of the Six Ministry of Personnel, and Li Qingchen, the prefect of Zhending Prefecture, was also changed to the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Rites, Huang Lu was dropped to the Censorate and became the Censor. The entire government has changed. So the court officials have argued endlessly about this, but Zeng Bu supports Zhao Ji and others, so they can't do that.

Zhao Ji said these things at this time and laughed: "This time, Zhang Chun is really speechless. Zeng Bu is still not confused in the big event. When Yuanyou officials return to the court, I will definitely withdraw Zhang Chun."

Wang Xian smiled slightly and said, "Does the emperor want to use Han Zhongyan?"

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "Wang Xian, you know my heart well. That's right, Han Zhongyan is the son of Han Qi, an old minister of the previous dynasty. He is loyal and honest. He is very upright and praised by everyone in the court. So I want to use it as a prime minister."

Wang Xian shook his head and said, "There is no need to worry about this matter. Your Majesty can be promoted to the minister of the disciples before making a decision in the future. Now the Yuanyou Party members have not yet returned to the public. All the people are dissatisfied with your Majesty. You should make some decisions."

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "I know that these people have been coerced to the remote place and have suffered a lot. This time I will transfer them back."

Wang Xian pondered for a moment and said, "How should His Majesty settle them?"

Zhao Ji was stunned and said, "Of course, they have been comforted by comforting them. After all, they have suffered a lot. If they are old, they will be allowed to cultivate themselves. All the rest will be restored to their positions and add their positions to make the ministers unite."

Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty never thought that the ministers of Yuanyou and the current court officials will not survive. What will happen to the dispute between the two factions until now?"

Zhao Ji sighed at this time and said, "What I have thought about these days is that the Empress Dowager told me that Yuanyou's ministers are good people, and should not bully me. I also feel reasonable, but Su Shi is generous and has no intention of harming the country. Although they are all Yuanyou's party members, they are not harmful to the country. But I also have my own ideas. My father and emperor are all thinking about it. I have ascended to the great treasure. If I want to expel the old ministers in a few years, changing the rules really makes me feel embarrassed and I don't know what to do."

Wang Xian pondered and said, "Why did Your Majesty change in His Majesty the Emperor Shenzong back then?"

Zhao Ji replied strangely: "Of course, because everything in the court is difficult to do, the national treasury is empty, the father will carry out reforms to seek strength of the country."

Wang Xian nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty, you must inherit the ambition of Your Majesty Shenzong to be strong!"

Zhao Ji pondered and said, "You mean that you should follow the method of Jing Gong to get rid of the old and the new?"

Wang Xian smiled and said, "Why did Your Majesty only talk about the method of Jing Gong when talking about the goal of fortification? Are the Yuanyou Party members not the person who wants to fortification?"

Zhao Ji said: "The Yuanyou Party members thought that the laws of ancestors should not be changed again in the future generations should follow this path without any extracurricular problems, so they would not seek new things, and naturally they are not seeking strength."

Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has something to do with this Yuanyou Party, but it is not a person who does not seek to be strong in the country. What they seek is stability and strength in the past, Taizu established the world for a hundred years. It has been a hundred years since the time when the state of Jing Gong has been stable and the law of Jing Gong has been abolished and established. Now the law is no longer the same as the law, and the Yuanyou Party has suffered too much. Therefore, if you seek strength, you don't care about this law but care about people. If you have the ability, you can make a strong country. Therefore, I believe that you should ignore the views of the Yuanfeng Party and the Yuanfu Party should both take the same talent and then get it."

This is a mean approach, but after careful consideration, Zhao Ji nodded slightly and said, "I think the most important thing is to invite Yuanyou and others back. The second is to drive Zhang Chun, an old man, out of the court, and let him go home to take care of his old age."

Wang Xian was slightly surprised and thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is deeply thoughtful and admires me."

Zhao Ji smiled and stood up. Wang Xian stood up quickly but heard Zhao Ji say, "It's already noon today, so don't go back. I'll set up a luncheon. Wang Xian, please accompany me to have a meal."

Wang Xian hurriedly wanted to refuse Zhao Ji, but just smiled and then ordered him to prepare lunch and give him a banquet and let Wang Xian go there together.

Wang Xian ate this lunch tremblingly, although he didn't dare to go beyond the rules, so he had to look at Zhao Ji's face every time until he walked out of the imperial city after dinner. He slowly breathed out.

These days he had something to do in his mind, so as soon as he left the imperial city, he immediately rushed home and changed his clothes first, then walked out of the house and walked along a street to an inn. Without saying hello, he went straight to the second floor and knocked on the door.

Then the door opened and a child's face appeared and looked at Wang Xian.

Wang Xian hurriedly said, "Xiao Xian, where is he here to find your sister?"

The little boy looked at Wang Xian and pointed inside, Wang Xian walked in and saw a woman inside dressing up and spreading her hair without seeing her.

He coughed at this time and said, "I'm here to ask you about it."

This woman was Zhou Bing and heard someone talking behind her back and quickly thorned her head a few times and stood up and said, "Chen Bei is not a kind person, but he came in without saying anything to others."

Wang Xian hurriedly said, "Where did I tell Xiaoxian about you..."

He didn't say the following words, and looked at Zhou Bing's pale clothes, which had not been dressed up on her face. He felt extremely pity that Wang Xian couldn't help but think of the picture. The person in the painting looked like this and made people stare at her for a long time.

Zhou Bing saw Wang Xianke staring at him and couldn't help but reminded him slightly, "Chenbei, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Xian came to his senses at this time and hurriedly said, "It's the matter I asked you to investigate last time. I know how you have great ability and have you heard of it?"

Zhou Bing laughed and said, "You have been here for several days in a row to ask about this. It seems that this matter is too important."

Wang Xian nodded quickly and said, "It's really important. Did you find out what did you find? Who pasted that piece of paper?"

Zhou Bing took out the paper from the table and said slowly: "This is you, but you look very young and tender, unlike you who are sixteen years old now, and I don't know what the three words "Xuntabu" below mean."

Wang Xian said impatiently: "Don't worry about Zhibing so much, do you know who posted it?"

Zhou Bing looked at him and laughed: "This matter has some clues. The person who posted this painting posted a total of twenty paintings. It is said that he was a young man in his twenties, but I didn't find him."

Wang Xian was stunned and asked, "Is it a young man in his twenties?"

Seeing Zhou Bing nodding, he pondered for a while before saying, "Do you know what that person looks like?"

Zhou Bing shook his head and said, "I don't know I haven't figured it out yet."

Wang Xian stood up and said, "Please help me find that person and I are old friends. Please help me find him."

Zhou Bing smiled and said, "If you are so anxious, then go with me."

Wang Xian was stunned and heard Zhou Bing say, "You go out first, I will change my clothes and then take you to find him."

When he saw Zhou Bing get up inside, he stood up and walked outside the house and saw the little boy sitting on the small table slowly looking at the book. He couldn't help but smile and walked to him and whispered: "Xiao Xian, what are you looking at?"

The little boy turned his head and handed the book to Wang Xian for a look.

Wang Xian took the book and looked quite new. He was surprised when he flipped it and then quickly flipped it left and right and felt quite inexplicable, and then slowly read it.

This book mainly talks about the new idea, including the suffering of the people, the harm of officials, and the evil of the emperor, which advocates the people as the main idea. It is more common and easy to understand. It is a handwritten manuscript. The handwriting looks like Zhou Bing. When he moved his heart, it should be a book used by the Brotherhood as a textbook. Could it be that this book was written by Zhou Bing? So who does her thoughts come from? What is her identity?

He opened the book gently and suddenly looked at him, and his suspicion became even more serious.

Although this book is written from top to bottom, there are punctuation marks on it. Is this really a person from later generations passed down by people from later generations?

He was confused and heard Zhou Bing's voice shouting, "Is Chen Bei still outside?"

Wang Xian replied quickly and handed the book back to the little boy, walking around.

Zhou Bing walked out of it at this time and she changed into a dress and dressed up like she used to dress in the Imperial Academy. If she hadn't known it, she would have thought he was a handsome young man.

Wang Xian looked at him at this time and smiled and said, "It's really incredible that such a transformation is like a young master."

Zhou Bing coughed and said, "My voice is also very similar, right?"

Wang Xian was stunned and then laughed: "Yes, it really looks like it."

Zhou Bing turned his head and said to the little boy, "Brother, read the book carefully here. I'll go out now. Do you understand when you wait for my sister to come back?"

The little boy nodded and started reading the book again.

Zhou Bing smiled and said, "Let's go."

She opened the door and walked out Wang Xian followed him and closed the door.

The two of them walked out of the inn and walked eastward around several alleys before Zhou Bing stopped the trail: "Let's wait here for a while and someone will come."

Wang Xian looked at Zhou Bing curiously with too many mysterious things, so he didn't want to ask anything, so he stood here too.

After a while, he saw someone coming over. Wang Xian looked closely and saw a young man in white. Although he looked very handsome, Wang Xian could tell at a glance that this was a woman!

He didn't say anything. The woman in white looked at Wang Xian and said, "Who is Zhou Bing?"

Zhou Bing looked at Wang Xian and said, "He is the one who asked me to find someone."

The woman in white frowned and said, "How did you bring your employer here?"

Zhou Bing smiled and said, "It's okay, he is my friend. What did you find? Have you found that person?"

The woman in white said, "The man at Heyang Inn in the east of the city is very strange and you will know it when you see it."

Wang Xian felt aroused in his heart. Last time, Shen Kuo lived in Heyang Inn. He had been to a small corner where the environment was extremely poor and dark. At this time, he couldn't help but wonder who came to Bianjing?

Zhou Bing nodded and said, "You can take us there."

The woman in white turned around and walked forward quickly as if she was leading the way.

Wang Xian once walked on this road and remembered that there was an open restaurant there. The road was a bit untidy and the number of people was less and less. Then he turned a small alley before he could reach the Heyang Inn.
