407 Court Meeting

"This official Wang Xu, go back to Beijing to face the saint, this is the middle order!" The head of the forbidden army was in charge of inspecting the carriage, and as soon as his hand touched the door, the door opened, and then a young man's face with no hair, no beard, and swarthy black was revealed, smiling, and holding a roll of yellow silk in both hands.

"Big, big...... Spare...... "Who said that the name of the crazy horse weakened with the distance, and the Kaifeng forbidden army was not afraid of Huangzhou's official documents, but suddenly saw the legendary Tiansha Star, and his little face suddenly turned pale, and his words were not good, so he was left to beg for mercy."

“…… This is to drink tea for the brothers, if the official encounters a doorman who cheats for personal gain in Huangzhou, he will not be far from hanging on the wooden pole, hehehe. ”

Hong Tao stretched out his palm to Fu Ji, got the usual heavy copper coin, no matter whether this head dared to accept it or not, hung it directly on the hilt of his knife, and then patted the car door with a smile, and the caravan set off again towards Kaifeng City.

"Dutou, whose shopkeeper is this, so generous?" The caravan was released, and the soldiers didn't hear the conversation between Dutou and Hong Tao, but they saw the copper coins, and they couldn't help but come over to ask for knowledge, and the next time they saw this caravan, they would inevitably have to move forward.

"Generous! I almost scared the guts...... Open your eyes wide and see clearly, this is the crazy horse! Why did he come back suddenly, it doesn't look like he was demoted, could it be said that he was transferred? ”

Don't look at it as just a small forbidden army head, but in the capital division, you know more court battles than local county officials.

The gossip and legends about this colt are the most popular topics in the Kaifeng market, and the sudden sight of a living person made this head a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what it meant for a while.

Not to mention that a small forbidden army can't guess it, even Wang Anshi can't figure it out. The aftermath of Jisang City has not yet passed, and Wang Xu's most advantageous approach is to shrink in Huangzhou or Liangzhou to keep a low profile and forbear, and use the long winter to minimize the sense of existence.

Could it be that he is going to fight back, to call the heavens in front of the emperor, and try to have a decisive battle with all the forces in the court? This seems a little too crazy, but apart from this, there seems to be no reason to travel lightly and return to the opening.

As for whether there will be a lack of formalities when Wang Shu returns to Beijing, Wang Anshi doesn't think about it. Don't look at this colt with the reputation of a madman, but he is still very reliable, and he will not give anyone a handle easily. Even if there were, the emperor would help cover it up, and it was neither necessary nor valuable to make a fuss about such a small issue.

If you want to ask Wang Anshi how he knew that Wang Shu had returned to Beijing, it was very simple, when the head of the capital reported the matter to the Kaifeng Mansion official who was on duty at the city gate, almost all the Beijing officials in the city knew about it as long as they had some means, even faster than the emperor knew.

"Let's listen to what Wang Shu said for the time being, I heard that he didn't even enter the Horse Mansion and went straight to Donghua Gate, and I want to come to Your Majesty to announce that I will enter the palace because of this."

Sima Guang met Wang Anshi halfway, and he couldn't guess Wang Xu's intention, so he could only hold the idea of soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, and take a step at a time.

"This son must have a great reason to be in such a hurry, and I don't know how to make waves." Wang Anshi still knows a little about the horse Wang Xu, and the more he is like this, the more worried he is. The thing that can make Wang Shu run around thousands of holy things must not be a trivial matter.

At present, the emperor's seizure of power is in full swing, and it is already difficult to deal with one by himself, and if he adds a strange and colorful colt to mix in, the form will be even more passive.

Sima Guang didn't continue to guess the horse's thoughts, and he couldn't guess it, so he simply saved some effort. Wrapped in the big coat outside, he urged the horse to walk towards the palace gate in the face of the blowing north wind.

This year's winter was a bit cold, and my knees ached. After fighting with Wang Anshi for more than ten years, he saw that he was forty out of sixty, and suddenly a younger and more capable colt Wang Shu popped up, and there was an ambitious emperor in his prime standing behind him.

These two are more ruthless than Wang Anshi, can they resist for more than ten years? When I think of this, I feel that I am not forgiving and powerless!

It is still a Chongzheng Palace, but things are not people. I haven't seen the horse Wang Shu for two years, and he still has a strange appearance with short hair and beard, and he smiles before speaking, but his eyes are obviously much deeper, and with his dark complexion and strong figure, he really looks like a battle-hardened general. It's just that in addition to the heroic aura, there is also a strong evil aura.

"Two bosses, the lower officials are so polite...... I haven't seen him for a long time, Wang Xiangxiang seems to be a few years younger, and Sima Xianggong is getting richer and richer. I was in a hurry to return to Beijing this time, and I didn't carefully select them, both of which were hand-woven by the official. Without it, it doesn't obstruct the view on your knees in winter, but it can withstand the wind and cold. The ancients were old and old, and the court was inseparable from the two ministers, so it is very important to take care of your body! ”

This evil spirit is really not Sima Guang's subjective assumption, it has come to say. As soon as he and Wang Anshi greeted the emperor, before their buttocks sat down, Wang Shu began to make moves.

was full of purposeless nonsense, and took out two packs of things from a leather suitcase, one for each person, and if he didn't collect it, he couldn't do it, and stuffed it directly into his arms.

"What is this?" Wang Anshi has a hard personality and is in a high position, so he is unwilling to hide it, and his happiness and displeasure are often on his face.

I didn't pay much attention to etiquette, so I opened the package on the spot, pinched one of them with two fingers, and looked at one from side to side, but I didn't understand what it was.

It looks like hemp but not hemp, like wool is not hair, lighter than felt and thicker than cloth, put it under the nose and smell it carefully, there is no peculiar smell, you can feel soft and warm in your hand.

"This is made by Wang Xu, called cashmere knee pads, which are woven from the innermost soft fluff yarn of sheep, and I also have a pair, which is indeed light and warm on it."

It was not Wang Shu who answered Wang Anshi's question, but Emperor Shenzong, who was sitting side by side with Wang Shao at the head of the west. Not only did there be a verbal answer, but the emperor also lifted the hem of his robe, and sure enough, there were two identical things on the outside of his pants that wrapped around his knees.

"It's the old man's intention, I can't imagine that Du Wei can also weave, but I don't know how much this thing sells?" Sima Guang didn't know if his knee really hurt or if he pretended it on purpose, so he put the knee pad on in front of the emperor, and then asked about the price with a wicked smile.

"Hey, hey, Sima Xianggong is too worried, there are two kinds of wool and cashmere, as well as shorts and shorts, which are the most suitable for keeping out the cold in winter. Wool is cheap and can be bought by small people in the market, and cashmere is high and cannot be obtained by non-rich people. Huangzhou and Ganliang Road are both bitter and cold places, and the population is insufficient after the war, so it is impossible to make ends meet by relying on reclamation, and there is only another way to pay taxes to the imperial court. ”

Promoting Huangzhou specialties is also one of the tasks of Hong Tao's return, although wool products can not be as high-end as flying eagles, but there is no harm in doing so, let alone concealment. Who wants to imitate and imitate, as long as the cost, quality and output can fight over the Liangzhou Woolen Mill, they will close their doors!

"Let's press the matter of Shang Jia for the time being, Wang Shu has a clause about whether it is feasible for Chen Zhong's ministers and I to discuss it together." Before Hong Tao's bitter water was poured, two more people came in outside. Emperor Shenzong's face was straight, and after walking back to the imperial book, he picked up a few books and handed them to Pei Ying.

One of these two people, Hong Tao, has seen it, it should be called Wang Qi, who is neither a new party nor an old party, but a complete royalist party, the echo worm of Emperor Shenzong.

He has a nickname called the Three Decrees, and when he goes to the temple to present it, he is called "taking the holy decree"; After the decision of the Divine Sect, it is called "receiving the Holy Decree"; The person who tells the priest after retiring from the court is called "having received the holy decree."

The other Hong Tao has no impression, he is not too old, he looks like he is about fifty, his face is clear, three short beards, his expression is very serious, and he is not smiling.

After entering the house, in addition to saluting the emperor, the rest of the people arched their hands slightly, and treated Hong Tao in the same way, without paying special attention to or despising it.

"Mint new money! Bold Wang Xu, do you want to be the king independently! But when Pei Ying sent those transcribed pieces to everyone, he was the first to question angrily.

"Who is this lord?" Hong Tao has long been prepared to fight the Confucianism, even if the currency reform is only tried in Huangzhou and Ganliang Road, it is a big thing, no one opposes it, and it is not normal if there are fewer people who oppose it. But no matter how much you think about it, you have to figure out who the person you want to convince, such as this one.
