Wang Anshi was a little insincere in saying this, speaking of which, even he did not guess that in the whole incident, Cui Wenqing was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Cui Wenqing not only borrowed the third-rate tabloid to stir himself up, but also used the Silk Chamber of Commerce to put himself on a moral high ground, winning the sympathy of the people and increasing the people's disgust with Cai.

It can be said that Cui Wenqing's hand is quite clever.

However, Wang Anshi realized that Cui Wenqing's methods have always been unscrupulous, especially when he exposed his black materials to the Silk Chamber of Commerce and continued to hype up the topic, which seemed to be a bit unscrupulous.

Therefore, Wang Anshi had a trace of worry, for fear that he would become the kind of person who is talented but not virtuous.

Thinking of this, Wang Anshi had the heart to mention this very talented descendant, and said with a smile: "Wenqing, the righteousness of Confucianism lies in letting people cultivate morality, know justice and distinguish between right and wrong, and lose the morality in their hearts, that is, talented and unvirtuous people, no one dares to entrust them with important tasks, so before acting, we must think about problems from a moral place." ”

Cui Wenqing understood what Wang Anshi meant, and also knew what his doubts were, so he couldn't help but smile leisurely: "Anshi Xianggong, the kid thinks that people are righteous, and he should be like this to his friends and relatives, but for those villains, he should not be too rigid in justice and morality, and he should talk about it according to the situation." ”

Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "However, your method of marrying trouble is always too despicable, and you have to pay attention not to use it more in the future, understand?" ”

Feeling Wang Anshi's care and love for him, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but be a little moved, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xianggong Anshi, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Wang Anshi nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, tomorrow the governor of the Zhenwu Army will arrive in Luoyang, and the old man, as a welcome envoy, will go out of Luoyang for ten miles to greet him personally, I don't know if you are interested in going together?" ”

Cui Wenqing's heart was pounding when he heard the words, especially when he was able to see the lady who had been absent for several months, he couldn't stop being excited.

However, he understood that when he came to Beijing tomorrow, he would definitely go to the palace to meet the official family first, even if he went, he believed that he would not be able to say anything, so he shook his head and said: "Thank you for the kindness of Xianggong Anshi, I will still wait for the lady to return home in the house." ”

Wang Anshi chuckled and bowed, and then said goodbye and left.

This is a rare windless weather in winter, the sun is warm, the pine is green, and there is a little bit of spring scenery.

Before the hour, outside the east gate of Luoyang, there was already a ring of knights, the flag was flying, and the celebration was lively.

Today is the day when the Governor of Zhenwu Army and the champion general Zhi Zhao led the meritorious soldiers of Zhenwu Army to Beijing, which can be described as a great joy in winter.

More than a month ago, Zhi Zhao led 30,000 Zhenwu troops to defeat the invading Western Xia army in the first battle of Tumaochuan, which made the Western Xia State suffer the biggest defeat since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

When the news of the defeat reached the Western Xia Kingdom, it set off a huge wave, caused huge panic, and also put the Western Xia, which was already suspicious of the main Shaoguo, into a precarious situation.

Originally, according to Zhi Zhao's plan, at this time, he should attack Xiazhou and destroy this great enemy who has been entangled with the Zhi family and Daqi for decades, but it is a pity that the Chen soldiers of Liao State strongly interfered on the border, and the heavy snow in the area of Xiazhou was approaching in winter, which was not conducive to the war, so Zhi Zhao had no choice but to give up.

Even so, the Tangut people, who were intimidated by the threat of the Zhenwu army, also sent an envoy to send a confession to ask for the tolerance of the Great Qi Emperor.

The Western Xia envoys will also arrive in the capital under the escort of the Zhenwu army.

In this regard, the Great Qi court naturally attached great importance to it, and had already begun to arrange it as early as a month ago to celebrate the biggest victory over Western Xia since the founding of the country.

The formation of today's greeting array was the most elite 5,000 cavalry of the Jin Wuwei.

Dressed in red clothes and red armor, they rode tall and vigorous white horses, and lined up in two neat formations on both sides of the avenue leading to the east gate of Luoyang.

The knights also rode in a group of two, one with a red flag, one with a bronze axe, and the red flag was displayed on the field, and the axe was bright, and the sound was magnificent.

Outside the cavalry formation, it was the people of Luoyang City who came spontaneously.

They flocked to the quaint and huge stone pavilion from all directions, cheering and piling up on the hills, hanging on the treetops, standing on any ridge where they could see the stone pavilion and the official road from afar, all to see the unparalleled demeanor of this legendary beautiful Metropolitan Governor!

Time passed slowly, and when the sun gradually rose overhead, the dust suddenly rose at the end of the official road, and it could be seen that a well-organized cavalry team had come towards Luoyang City.

Standing in the pavilion to greet the minister Wang Anshi made a pergola and watched from a distance, and after seeing a little more clearly, he turned to the greeting official and ordered in a deep voice: "The governor of Zheda has arrived, and the whole army is ordered to prepare to meet it." After saying that, he resolutely left the pavilion and boarded the ceremonial troop parked by the pavilion.

When the military order was issued, the red flag in the hands of the commander standing on the high place suddenly waved, and the 20 cowhide drums lined up in the formation roared, and the sound was like thunder that pierced the heavens and the earth, shaking the birds and birds flying and circling.

At the same time, a row of trombones also whined and moved towards the sky, solemn and high-pitched, so that the buzzing and coaxing of the people also stopped abruptly, and everyone looked around, all looking forward to it.

Soon, the lightly flaccid cavalry gradually approached, and it was already clear that the word "fold" on the banner was fluttering in the wind, and it was the governor of the Zhenwu army who had arrived.

"Welcome!" Wang Anshi, who was fighting against the railing, stomped his feet suddenly, and the driving soldiers immediately instigated the cart and horse, and the military vehicle was wrapped in a circle of smoke and dust, and the phosphorus rumbled forward.

And the more than 100 cavalry of the escort chariot also moved, hugging the troop chariot and heading forward.

Soon, the distance between the troop chariot and the incoming horse team was not enough for arrows.

Wang Anshi ordered the military chariot to stop, and then said loudly to the incoming horseman: "This official is the Zhongshu order Wang Anshi, who was ordered by the official family to come to greet the governor of Zheda and welcome the triumph of the meritorious soldiers of the Zhenwu Army." ”

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry on the opposite side stopped abruptly, and the knights moved in unison, without any confusion, and at first glance they were well-trained elite cavalry.

Soon, the cavalry was divided into two columns, revealing a road leading to the center of the cavalry array, and a military general wearing silver armor had already ridden out from the riding array, came to the front of the formation and turned off the horse, and bowed his hand in a loud voice: "Weichen Zhenwu Army Metropolitan Governor, Champion General Zhe Zhao, I have seen Wang Xianggong, there is Lao Wang Xianggong to greet him, thank you for the grace of the Son of Heaven, long live long live, long live." After that, he bowed deeply in the direction where Luoyang City was located.

The person who came was the governor of the Zhenwu Army.
