Chapter Eight Laughing at Bi Mawen

After recovering from his illness, Wang Pang's favorite place to go was a side courtyard in the mansion. The structure of the courtyard was similar to that of Wang Pang's house, except that the courtyard was slightly larger and there were four or five more rooms. Occasionally there were relatives or relatives in the mansion.

Wang Anshi's disciples came to visit and settled in that courtyard. Recently, some candidates who came to stay temporarily due to the fire in the restaurant have stayed.

This allowed Wang Pang to get to know many people: Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Cheng Hao, Zhang Zai. The names he was familiar with overwhelmed him. He regretted that he had not read the history of the Song Dynasty, and only knew the superficial knowledge of everything. He was dazzled.

There were so many interesting things to do that I temporarily left the past life behind.

The temporary candidates received their appointments one after another, and Wang Anshi's mansion gradually became quiet. Shen Kuo came to see off Wang Shao, and he picked up Wang Pang and went to Pu's residence with him.

What does the living Song Yingzong of the future look like? I've seen pictures of him, but this is the first time I've seen the three-dimensional emperor. Wang Pang is really a little nervous. He's not the emperor yet, so we have to take action in advance and build a good relationship.

I don’t know if this guy is easy to get in touch with or not.

Wang Pang pondered all the way and unexpectedly arrived at Pu Residence. Wang Anshi's residence was in the third courtyard. Wang Pang had never lived in a house with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters before traveling through time. He already felt bright and bright in Wang Anshi's Mansion. When he arrived at Pu Residence

It's like arriving at a small park.[

At this time, Zhao Zongshi was about the same age as Shen Kuo, about thirty years old. He was tall and thin, with a somewhat melancholy look on his face. He looked worried. The king thought that this might be because he was not in a hurry to ascend the throne, so he thought in his mind.

, Zhao Zongshi has already given up his seat to the two of them.

Listening to the two of them chatting, Wang Pang felt that they were chatting a little. It was not about officialdom, but somehow they mentioned Wang Pang's rescue. Zhao Zongshi sighed in admiration: "Young hero."

Is this a compliment to himself? Wang Pang hurriedly responded with a humble smile. When Zhao Zongshi praised others, he didn't show any smile. He asked Wang Pang: "I have never met your father, but I have heard some rumors that this person is not greedy."

A high-ranking official has refused appointments from the court several times, does the prince know the reason?"

Wang Pang thought to himself that he had done some homework before coming: "Back to the father-in-law, my father is devoted to governing the place and wants to make achievements, but he is afraid of greed for fame. Of course, there is another private matter. In addition to the large number of relatives in the house, the villain has been weak and seriously ill all year round.

It was just thanks to Brother Shen’s skill that I was able to recover.”

Zhao Zongshi is a quasi-prince, but in fact, he is not a quasi-prince. If Emperor Renzong is still the queen, he is a quasi-prince. If Emperor Renzong has a queen, he is not sure. But no matter what, he still hopes to win people's hearts. "Children don't lie.

, Mr. Wang is so broad-minded. No wonder Mr. Wen and Ouyang are so talented."

Shen Kuo then said "yes" and started gossiping again: "My father-in-law is well-informed. Mr. Wang's appointment here may not be finalized for some time."

Zhao Zongshi said: "You don't know something, but the prime minister, Chen Zhizhong, was too preoccupied with his concubine to kill the girl and was impeached, which delayed a lot of business. Yesterday Shen Kang came to visit, and he seemed to be unhappy, probably because Wang Anshi had been appointed to be a member of the group.

Pastor, this position should go to Mr. Shen according to seniority. If Mr. Wang does not resign, he should take up the post within one or two days."

Wang Pang hurriedly thanked Zhao Zongshi and quietly asked Shen Kuo: "Brother Shen, what does the Qun Mu Division do?"

While Zhao Zongshi lowered his head to drink tea, Shen Kuo whispered to Wang Pang: "This group of shepherds was established by the Zhenzong Dynasty to take charge of horse administration throughout the country."

The king listened to what he said and thought that he was not the prime minister. When did Wang Anshi become the prime minister? So he muttered: "Okay! It turns out that he is Yi Bi Ma Wen."

Shen Kuo's ears, which were dedicated to listening to gossip, were always erect. When he heard Wang Pang mutter, he actually heard and repeated it: "Bima Wen?? What is it?"

Isn't this troublesome? The author of Journey to the West is from the Ming Dynasty. How can we explain this? After thinking about it, I came up with an idea: "During the Zhenguan period of the former Tang Dynasty, Master Tripitaka went to Tianzhu to obtain scriptures and seek Dharma. Do you two adults know?"

Zhao Zongshi and Shen Kuo both tilted their heads and looked at him. This child actually knew about Buddhism during the Zhenguan period. They listened with great interest to Wang Pang as he continued: "It is said that Master Sanzang had three apprentices, and the eldest one was born from the spiritual root fairy stone.

, one of the four horoscopes in the world, the Lingming Stone Monkey. This monkey is stubborn by nature, and the first time he was appointed by the heaven was the post of Bima Wen, and the Bima Wen was to manage horses for the heaven."

Shen Kuo laughed loudly and said: "Brother Ruoxian, do you mean that your father is a monkey in this metaphor?" Wang Pang rubbed his head and felt that this description was a bit inappropriate. Even though he still didn't quite accept that Wang Anshi was his biological father, at least he felt that he was his biological father.

That’s not bad, and besides, it’s a bit wrong to say that about myself.

Zhao Zongshi shook his head and laughed: "Speaking of monkeys, I think Brother Shen's younger brother is more clever and more like that monkey." Wang Pang thought to himself, it would be great if they looked just like each other. It would not be necessary to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, but the Song Dynasty would be downthrown.

possible.

Several people were laughing, and a child of twelve or thirteen years old came in. Zhao Zongshi hurriedly asked him to meet Shen Kuo and Wang Pang. He saw that this little kid was more intelligent than his father. Wang Pang's eyes suddenly lit up. He took this little guy down. This is the future.

Who knows how long Shenzong of the Song Dynasty will stay in the Song Dynasty?

Listening to Zhao Zongshi and Shen Kuo talking, it is better to coax this little guy to play and teach him some things: the white dragon horse hooves are carrying Tang Sanzang to the west and following the three disciples...

At this time, Wang Anshi was also troubled by three things. The first was that he had submitted several petitions to the local government but was not allowed to take office, and a new appointment had been pending in the capital for half a year. A few months ago, Shen Qi came to visit and told Wang Anshi,

He learned from Wang Anshi's method of constructing water conservancy projects in Yinxian County and was constructing embankments to dredge the river in Haimen to prevent tides. So Quan Dang took a break to have a look and came back to start "Tongzhou Haimen Xingli Ji". He wanted to spread it everywhere, but he couldn't do it. Today I talked with Shen Kuo

He also often talks about regional construction and feels deeply about it. However, he is very upset that he is stuck in the capital and cannot do practical things.

The second thing: His younger brother An Guo has just been promoted to the rank of scholar this year. An Guo’s wife is Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu’s sister. The family will also come to the capital, and it is not stable for the time being. This is also a problem. If there are many people, it will cost a lot.

We have to worry about family affairs.[

The third thing is that the second son, Wang Pang, is supposedly a good thing to regain his sanity, but if you think about it carefully, unlike the eldest son who has received tutoring since he was a child, the eldest son is already a civil servant, and this trip to Beijing is to let him see something.

He had never read a book and wanted to choose a good teacher for him. At first he thought of Shen Kuo, but suddenly he saw that Shen Kuo and his second son were brothers, and he felt like a naughty boy and was uneasy.

While he was thinking about it, the servant came to report to Han Jiang. Mr. Han asked for an audience. Wang Anshi invited Han Jiang into the garden. The garden was in the main courtyard behind the living room. There was a lotus pond in the garden and a water pavilion in the pond. The two of them strode into the pavilion.

Sitting opposite each other at the stone table.

Han Jiang brought a letter written by Ouyang Xiu, with the general meaning of persuading him to accept the imperial appointment. Lord Kuang Wenyanbo also tried his best. The official position was already known to Wang Pang.

In the Song Dynasty, they began to build a network, and they got the news faster than Wang Anshi. This will be even better in the future.

Wang Anshi and Han Jiang were old friends. After discussing official matters, they inevitably chatted about home affairs. Wang Anshi mentioned Wang Pang and said that his son's poor health had delayed his studies, and he was thinking of finding a good mentor for Wang Pang. Han Jiang thought for a while,

He said, "I have a good candidate. This person is very lonely and happens to be in the capital. It is better to hand over the second son to this person. But I don't know if he is willing."
