Yang Jian curled his lips after listening to Tong Guan's words: "At that time, interfering in politics was a crime of beheading. You didn't look at Ren Shouzhong's fate. I remember clearly the day when Zheng Xia presented the picture. I remember it was the day when Concubine De came to visit her, right?"

Tong Guan was surprised that besides himself, someone else could remember this day so clearly.

Yang Jian said: "It was a lively day. First, the queen was unhappy. Although the queen's chariot was not used for the queen's wedding, she used the same specifications as the queen's chariot, and there were also ministers from the internal affairs bureau. Then the empress dowager found out about it. The empress dowager originally He was quite critical of Concubine De, so he called her over. The emperor thought he was telling the truth. The emperor was feeling depressed, and he was also worried that the Queen Mother would punish Concubine De. At this time, Zheng Xia came. Think about it, the emperor felt aggrieved that he was so dignified as a concubine. I have to be reprimanded by the Queen Mother when I go out, and then I see the people being displaced. How can I be the emperor? That night, the emperor didn't sleep all night."

Tong Guan thought to himself that although Yang Jian was tactful, he was not lying about this matter. And after hearing what he said, it seemed that there was no need to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check. Yang Jian was so attentive today. Tong Guan flattered, "There are so many eunuchs around the emperor in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." There are not many people who care about the Emperor as much as Mr. Yang."[

Of course it is a good thing to be praised. Yang Jian smiled and said: "General Tong praised me, what's the use of caring about the emperor alone?"

Tong Guan nodded: "What Mr. Yang is talking about is, do you remember which official from the Banking Department brought Zheng Xia to the emperor that day?"

Yang Jian pondered for a moment: "I really can't remember that in those years when I changed my position, it was like a revolving door. Look at my brain." He said that he knocked and looked like he couldn't remember it.

How could Yang Jian not remember such an important thing? He just didn't want to talk about it. When Wang Pang returned to the capital, Tong Guan asked about the old things again, making it clear that this was Wang Pang's liquidation. Although Wang Pang has kept a low profile now, there is something he said well: A biting dog doesn't bark. If Wang Pang is playing dirty tricks, it will be even more terrible. He can save himself and his servants. Tong Guan already feels lucky, but he doesn't want to do anything that offends others. Wang Pang or Tong Guan will let them do it if they have the ability. Go check it out yourself and you won’t be able to tell it from your own mouth.

Tong Guan saw that Yang Jian didn't want to talk, so he smiled: "Why are we talking about so many years of old things here? Where are the others?" He looked around

Yang Jian poured wine for Tong Guan: "Who else is there? I specially invited General Tong today?"

Tong Guan looked at the table full of sumptuous food and wine: "Oh, how dare you bother Manager Yang to spend money?"

"Daofu, if you say that, you are out of touch." Yang Jian said, "Now you are already the right general. In all the sects in the province for so many years, only Li Xian has such a high-ranking official. Even if we have known each other for twenty years, we have known each other for twenty years." Alright"

"You can have this"

"It is Concubine De who often teaches us that as ministers, we should focus more on doing things for the court. We should get closer and closer to each other on weekdays, so that we will not be looked down upon by outsiders in the future."

Hearing Yang Jian mention the virtue concubine, Tong Guan sneered slightly. He held the wine glass to cover his eyes, but looked at Yang Jian's expression.

Yang Jian chuckled: "To be honest, General Tong, I came this time under the instruction of Concubine De. The emperor has promised the queen to hold a banquet for the eleventh prince to celebrate the full moon. Although the sixth prince has also been granted the title of county king, I am afraid that who is closer is in everyone's mind. There are many. The princes are still young. If it goes on in a few years, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be disputes over the establishment of the heir apparent."

It turned out that this was the case. Tong Guan was a little relieved: "Is there anything to argue about? No surprise, of course the eldest son will be born."

Yang Jian gently raised the corner of his mouth: "Since ancient times, it has been rare for the eldest son to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one. Besides, you also know who the emperor listens to the most. Is there anyone in the palace who doesn't know about the disagreement between the empress dowager and the concubine De?"

"Mr. Yang, isn't it too early to think about these things now?"

"Nothing can be guaranteed, we can only prepare for rainy days," Yang Jian said pertinently.

Tong Guan rubbed his head: "You said this, it makes your head big. You also know that I am a rough person. Although I have been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so many years, all I have done is rough things. Let me go to war. I am not afraid of getting involved in these trivial things." I can't change the situation. You tell me what Concubine De will do."

When Yang Jian was asked this question, Tong Guan felt anxious in his heart. If Concubine De said something radical or acted excessively, would he agree or not?

Yang Jian said: "What Concubine De can do is to watch the eleventh prince being sought after by others just like the Queen Mother."[

As the queen said, this was unusual. In ancient times, only the queen would be ranked in order of eldest son. This made Tong Guan a little confused.

Yang Jian smiled again: "Daofu, you don't have to think too much. Now that you are the right general, you will have opportunities to come and go around the emperor. Moreover, your father is the King of Zhennan. I also know that the prince does not like me. In the future, I hope that Daofu will be more beautiful in front of my father." "Words"

Tong Guan completely understood Yang Jian's intention of inviting him. This was to take advantage of Wang Pang's opportunity to speak in front of the emperor. If Wang Pang could support Zhao Xu, it would be able to influence the emperor's thoughts.

In the dining room of the Meyer Mansion, Wang listened to Tong Guan and wanted to see the key suspect: the bank department: "Daofu, please help me with something again."

"Father, tell me"

"Go and find out for me the whereabouts of Sun Chao's father and grandson Gu from the Banking Department. The sooner the better."

Tong Guan stood up immediately: "It's so easy for me to go now."

These few people had almost eaten in the past half day. Wang Pang told Shi Qian: "Go to Qingfeng Tower and ask for a message from shopkeeper Cui Xi."

Shi Qian was still unfinished and stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth before getting up and going out.

The servants collected the leftovers and Jiao Deyou followed Wang Pian out of the dining room: "My lord, are you asking about these things to clear the old man's name so that he can return to the court?"

"The old man is determined not to reply. I asked this because I want to punish Lu Huiqing."

Cui Deyou said puzzledly: "I also know that the old man has suffered a lot of grievances over the years, but there were many people who opposed the old man's new policy at that time. My lord, you can't fix it one by one."

"I don't have the time to repair them one by one. Besides, some people have purely different political views. People like Sima Guang and Su Shi are all right. I went to Jiangning Mansion this time and saw that my father, Sima Hanlin and others still exchanged letters. I basically need to repair these people. According to my opinion, multi-partisanship is not necessarily a bad thing. In addition to cooperation and supervision, Lu Huiqing, a villain, squeezed conservatives in the name of his father and then wanted to monopolize power to frame my father and brother. It’s easy to say this hatred. If I don’t retaliate, will I still be the king?”

Jiao Deyou said: "Hey, if you hadn't said that, I would have thought you were not Wang Pang."

"Why have I changed so much?"

Jiao Deyou stopped at the door of the study: "I have been mumbling whether this is my brother Wang Pang, but sometimes I also think that after so many years and so many things, I want to find the Meyer Mansion and come back to you just to stay in peace. It’s comfortable to wear, so why not you?”

Wang Pang smiled and patted Jiao Deyou on the shoulder: "People always have to go through things to mature."

When Wang Pang entered the study, Jiao Deyou closed the door from the outside, pondered what Wang Pang said and shook his head: "Who can understand this kid?" He turned around and walked to the garden pool to find Shi Qian's fishing pole and found a place to hide it.

It was time for the people who were sent out by the king to return and walked towards the gate of Meyer Mansion.

There were several knocks on the door. Who answered so quickly? It must not have been Shi Qian. That boy Xiang Bu left the main door. The doorkeeper opened the door. There was a follower standing at the door: "Is this Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

"Exactly who are you looking for?"

"My master wants to see the King of Zhennan," the attendant said and handed over the name card.

"Wait a minute," the servant said, taking the invitation and closing the door. He turned around and saw Jiao Deyou standing behind him [

Jiao Deyou took the invitation and wrote on it: Yunzhou Professor Li Gefei asks to see the King of Zhennan

"Do you want to say that the prince is not here?" the servant asked quietly. In the past few days, the prince has ordered that no outsiders should be seen.

Li Gefei and Jiao Deyou knew that at that time, he was photographed by Wang Pang and went to Yangzhou to open the branch of CPIC Bank. Li Gefei took care of everything.

Taking the invitation, Jiao Deyou returned to the door of the study: "Your Majesty, there is a man named Li Gefei who wants to see you."

"Oh please"

Li Gefei had met several friends over the years who often "recited" poems in restaurants and tea shops. Thinking of these Wang Pang, he also thought of Zhao Xu, who was often with them at that time, and then they went their separate ways to pursue their own careers. Li Gefei's impression on Wang Pang

Among these people, he is the most low-key and unobtrusive. His writing skills can be regarded as outstanding, but he is always overshadowed by Su Shi's light. His character is stable, generous and generous. He handles things properly when friends entrust him. He never takes blame or takes credit.

Moreover, Wang Pang had a better impression of Li Gefei because he was able to raise a talented daughter Li Qingzhao.

Wang Pang stood at the door of the study and watched Li Gefei approach. If there were officials in ancient times who were too ugly to pass the interview, Li Gefei was indeed spirited.

"Brother Li, it's always nice not to see you for so many years."

Li Gefei walked in and raised his arms: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Inviting Li Gefei to the room, the guests and hosts sat down next to the king and asked: "When did Uncle Wen (Li Gefei's nickname: Uncle Wen) return to the capital?"

"This seems to be the right thing for me to ask you, Your Majesty. How come you haven't heard anything about you since you disappeared for more than ten years?"

"Haha, I left in a hurry and came back unexpectedly. I returned to the capital to see my old friends. Most of them were sent to various places and it was difficult to get together. If I knew you were back, I would have to meet you."

Li Gefei smiled slightly: "If you want to see me, then you have to go to Yunzhou because I'm afraid of your sincerity, Your Majesty."

"Who said that I would definitely pass by Korea when I go to Korea in a few days?"

"Haha, it's good if you have such a heart. I just came to Beijing yesterday and will go back tomorrow. When you get to Yunzhou, I will do my best to be a landlord."

"That's necessary~ But you are in such a hurry to leave no matter what, why don't you stay a few more days?" Wang Pang asked
