In the evening, after Wang Zeng returned home from work, he suddenly heard the news that Wang Qinruo had returned to the capital.
He knew so quickly not because he specially sent people to monitor Wang Qinruo's family, but simply because the two families lived in the same house.
Wang Qinruo was a prime minister after all. Even when he returned to Beijing to compare the location, the Wang family still went to Fangkou to greet him in person.
I have to say that the Wang family has had enough in the past few years.
As the backbone of the Wang family, if Wang Qinruo falls, the tree will naturally fall and the animals will scatter. Without Wang Qinruo to support him, the Wang family's income will be greatly reduced.
Now, the Wang clan can only live on the more than 7,000 pieces of land.
Income decreased, and the Wang family lived a "shabby life" for a long time.
"Leyuan, you've lost some weight."
In the palace, Wang Qinruo summoned Wang Congyi, his only son, alone. Although Wang Qinruo only had one son, his family was not prosperous at all.
But Wang Qinruo is still very satisfied with his son.
"I worry about you, Leyuan is unfilial!"
Looking at his father's increasingly white hair, Wang Congyi burst into tears.
"well."
Wang Qinruo touched his son's hair and sighed.
"The past two years have been hard on you."
Wang Qinruo's reputation is indeed not good, especially in the eyes of northern scholars, but he is still concerned about the situation in the DPRK.
He never gave up and returned to Beijing!
But when he finally returned to the capital, he felt a little uneasy again.
Prime Minister Ding Wei, Second Prime Minister Feng Zheng, Wang Zeng, who participated in politics, and Ren Zhongzheng, he did not have a good relationship with these people.
In fact, Wang Qinruo was mentally prepared before returning.
Even though the situation was not good, he still chose to come back.
This year, he is already sixty. If he misses this opportunity, who knows if there will be a second chance in this life?
One such opportunity is enough!
Wang Qinruo never expected a second chance, after all, his political opponents did not want to see him.
…
…
…
In Wang Zeng's Mansion.
After learning that Wang Qinruo had returned to the capital, Wang Zeng immediately sent someone to Lu Yijian's house.
At this point in time, if Wang Qinruo returns, there will definitely be nothing else except the unresolved matter.
A long time ago, Wang Zeng disliked Wang Qinruo. His ill will toward Wang Qinruo was partly because he was from the south, and partly because he inherited Wang Qinruo from his Bo Le, Prime Minister Wang Dan.
As we all know, the most important thing in the Song Dynasty was the family law of the ancestors. During the Taizu Dynasty, Taizu once said that southerners should not be allowed to serve as prime ministers.
Although this statement is controversial, in the end of Zhao Kuangyin's reign, there were no examples of southerners serving as prime ministers, political ministers, privy envoys, or deputy privy envoys.
But Wang Qinruo broke this convention. He was from Xinyu and belonged to the Jiangnan area. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the first prime minister of the southerners.
If you really think about it, Ding Wei, Wang Anshi, Zhang Dun and others in the future will all have some inklings with Wang Qinruo.
About half an hour later, Lu Yijian hurried to Wang Zeng's house.
On the way here, he was still trying to figure out why Wang Zeng was looking for him today.
After much thought, Lu Yijian also figured out an idea.
Fortunately, the doubts in his heart did not last long. As soon as the two met, Wang Zeng pointed out Wang Qinruo's matter straight to the point.
"Wang Qinruo, you're back in Beijing. You just came back today."
"What?"
Lu Yijian was suddenly shocked when he heard this. He made the same judgment as Wang Zeng. If Wang Qinruo came back at this time, he was probably rushing to take the position of Deputy Privy Councilor.
Although this mission is only a deputy envoy, with Wang Qinruo's skills, once he comes back, there will definitely be some storms in the capital.
Wang Qinruo is a well-known opportunist and has a strong ability to seize opportunities.
Back then, when he was appointed Duzhi Magistrate, he relied on his position to reduce or reduce the taxes owed from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty.

Everyone knows that this money is a bad debt. It has been owed for decades, and even the vouchers cannot be found. In addition, most of the people from that year have passed away.
How to collect money owed by a dead person?
Everyone within the Third Division knew about this, but Wang Qinruo seized this opportunity and reported to Song Zhenzong to reduce the tax.
When Zhenzong learned about this, he was immediately shocked and asked, "Didn't the late Emperor (Taizong) know about this?"
The late emperor didn't know whether Wang Qinruo knew, but his answer was very clever.
He believed that this was left to Zhenzong intentionally by the late emperor in order to allow Zhenzong to win over the people.
With Wang Qinruo's sharp tongue, Zhenzong accepted his suggestion. At the same time, the helpless Wang Qinruo also officially entered Zhenzong's sight.
Not long after, he became a Hanlin bachelor.
In fact, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty appointed Wang Qinruo with the intention of easing the dispute between the north and the south.
After all, it was Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty who put forward the famous theory of dissent.
The northern scholars are powerful, which is obviously not a good thing for the country.
How can there be only one voice within the imperial court?
On the other side, seeing the shock on Lu Yijian's face, Wang Zeng couldn't help but nodded silently, confirming Lu Yijian's thoughts.
"The Queen Mother is determined to get the position of Deputy Privy Envoy this time!"
The Queen Mother's intention to summon Wang Qinruo back to the capital was clear without going through Zhongshu.
Issue an edict directly!
"well."
Lu Yijian also sighed quietly. Recently, he was busy investigating Feng Zheng's affairs. At this time, Wang Qinruo returned to Beijing, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
I guess it's mostly a disaster.
…
…
…
The next day.
The sky was slightly bright, and Wang Qinruo sat in a carriage and walked along both sides of the imperial street towards the palace.
As soon as he arrived home last night, the Queen Mother sent him an oral order overnight, ordering him to go to the inner east gate early today.
At this time, Zhenzong's mourning period has not yet passed, and the palace roads that used to be full of officials are particularly deserted these days.
Previously, Zhongshu had made several reports in succession, advising the Queen Mother and the officials to have a royal palace every five days.
As a result, he was detained by the Queen Mother and the officials.
If you think about it, you can understand that the corpse of the late emperor is still in the palace, and neither Liu E nor Li Jie wants to listen to politics in the imperial palace at this time.
As for when the court will resume, at least it will have to be after Zhenzong is buried.
About half an hour later, as the sun rose, Wang Qinruo had already walked out of the palace gate.
The quicker you come, the quicker you return.
The scene at that time was that as soon as Liu E mentioned the matter of going to Shouzhou Governor to discuss tea, Wang Qinruo immediately agreed without even hesitating.
Seeing how happily Wang Qinruo agreed, Liu E felt that she should compensate Wang Qinruo.
In the end, Wang Qinruo was sent by the Jianghuai Shipping Envoy to take up his post.
When the news spread, both Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian looked shocked.
Why did he suddenly become a Jianghuai shipping envoy?
Although the shipping envoy is also a feudal official, there is still a gap between him and the deputy privy envoy.
