Chapter 832: Dongpo's Death I

Zhao Qianshun seems to be well-behaved, very well-behaved!

Zhao Ji's father was very satisfied, so on the day Zhao Qianshun arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, he got the holy decree of "marriage".

It is to give marriage to Zhao Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian! I don't know what this marriage has to do with Zhao Ji? Do you need him to give it?

However, Zhao Qianshun still happily accepted the order, and then he was busy trying to have a child with Yelu Nanxian - Zhao Ji was still waiting to hold his grandson! Zhao Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian had to work hard to hold hands, and strive to let Yelu Nanxian conceive a child before Zhao Qianshun returned to Liangzhou. In this way, Yelu Nanxian can stay in Kaifeng Mansion and give birth to a grandson to Zhao Ji, if Zhao Ji's grandson is born, then Yelu Nanxian can go to Liangzhou to live a small life with Zhao Qianshun.

As for Zhao Ji's grandson, of course he has to stay in Kaifeng Mansion to bathe in the emperor's grace! This grandson is the son of the king of Xiping, and he will inherit the official position of the envoy of the Hexi Festival and the protector of the capital of Anxi in the future......

If Yelu Nanxian can't conceive, or can't give birth to a son...... It doesn't matter, Yelu Nanxian also brought a concubine Guanyin, who can also help give birth. If Guanyin can't complete this glorious mission, then Zhao Ji also gave Zhao Qianshun a few women who could give birth to her. If you can't get pregnant, then Zhao Ji, who is a father, can only reluctantly come to help.

In short, Zhao Qianshun must leave an heir in Kaifeng Mansion, otherwise Zhao Ji, who wants to hold his grandson, will not let him go.

However, Wu Haogu is not in the mood to care about how Zhao Qianshun gave birth to a grandson for Zhao Ji now, because he is about to lose the backstage of the political affairs hall!

......

On the second day of the second month of February, the canal, which had been frozen for a long time, had been frozen, and the officials who were ready to take up their posts on comfortable official ships began to leave Beijing in a concentrated manner, and Wu Haowen was one of them.

A gorgeous official ship is docked at the edge of the pier inside the East Water Gate. A chamberlain hurried over and brought a few cakes and a few boxes of tea cakes from the Son of Heaven. The value of the gift is very light, but it is very rare to give pastries and tea cakes to a governor who is about to leave Beijing.

Zhao Ji's favor for Wu Haowen can also be seen from this.

However, when such an official who was almost certain to enter the government hall left Beijing as a foreign officer, there were very few officials who came to see him off at the wharf.

After sending off the chamberlain, Wu Haowen stood at the bow of the boat, his face flushed with gloomy colors, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

He knew why he was snubbed by officialdom, because Su Dongpo was already critically ill!

This is a definite critical illness! It's not the state that I was sick in before and can still hold on. Since last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, this right-hand minister of the Great Song Dynasty has not appeared in public again, and of course he has not been to the court or to the political affairs hall.

And what is even more worried about the old party figures in the DPRK is that as Su Dongpo's successor, Li Gefei also fell ill after the New Year's Festival, and he has not been on leave for several days in a row.

This means that the old party is likely to lose two important ministers at the level of the ruling party very quickly! And it's hard to find a replacement.

Although there are qualified old party ministers, there are also Han Zhongyan, Su Zhe, Fan Chun, and Fan Chunli. However, the leader of the New Party, Cai Jing, has put forward more powerful candidates, Zhao Tingzhi and Tao Jiefu.

Among them, Zhao Tingzhi has been the imperial historian for many years, and everyone knows that he is very favored by Zhao Ji. His qualifications have long been enough to be the ruler, but in order to make the new party more favorable to control the Yushitai, Cai Jing let Zhao Tingzhi always stand in the position of Yushizhongcheng. Now that Su Dongpo and Li Gefei are dying, it is only natural for Zhao Tingzhi to enter the political affairs hall.

Needless to say, Tao Jiefu has his share of the credit for recovering the five states of Yin, Xia, You, Yan, and Shuo. Even if you can't be the prime minister, there is always a person who knows the affairs of the Privy Council.

In other words, the new party led by Cai Jing will definitely be able to win a seat this time! Zhao Tingzhi is steady!

In this way, the old party can retain at most one of the six prime ministers. And it's hard to say whether this seat can be kept, because there is also a Lu Huiqing who is also a big hit. Although Lu Huiqing's character is very poor, he has also made meritorious contributions in the northwest this time, so it's not too much to be the prime minister for a few days, right?

Therefore, once Su Dongpo and Li Gefei die of illness in the near future, the old party is likely to be cleared in the political hall and the Privy Council.

Of course, Wu Haowen is not afraid. His official fortune Cai Jingjing can't be stopped, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes prime minister.

But he's too young, and it's not like he entered the political hall in his twenties! No matter how much Zhao Ji favors him, he has to let him train for more than ten years, and only at the age of Ben Si can he become a deputy minister or know the Privy Council.

Before this, he had no way to fight Cai Jing, and naturally he couldn't keep a few henchmen. Of course, the officials in Beijing will not offend Cai Jing, the prime minister of the current dynasty, for the sake of the prime minister more than ten years later.

Moreover, Wu Haowen is still Wu Haogu's younger brother!

The contradiction between Cai Jing and Wu Haowen is actually not irreconcilable, after all, Wu Haowen is a traditional scholar and bureaucrat, but he married Han Zhongyan's daughter and became the old party.

But the contradiction between Cai Jing and Wu Haogu is a bit of a match. There is no personal grudge between them, and it is not even a partisan dispute, and Wu Haogu is a military attaché, so it is impossible to be a ruler!

However, Wu Haogu supported a Confucian positivist school (also known as the Confucian rational school), which is definitely a school that can crush Jing Gongxinxue academically!

Compared with the positivists, the threat of science and Shu to Jing Gongxinxue is hardly worth mentioning......

Moreover, the Confucian students cultivated by the Yuntai Academy are also enough to crush the Confucian students cultivated with the idea of "scripture and artifice" in terms of administrative ability.

So Wu Haogu is digging up the foundation of Cai Jing and the New Party. As the leader of the New Party, Cai Jing was bound to launch an attack on Wu Haogu and the positivists after the big tree of Su Dongpo fell.

That's right, the truth is indeed on Wu Haogu's side!

But Cai Jing has power!

......

"To be made, it looks like someone is coming!"

Wu Haowen, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard the voice of his staff member Zhang Zhifeng.

This Zhang Zhifeng is the same age as Wu Haowen, he looks like a talent, and he is indeed talented. He was a student of the General Studies Department and the College of Law at the Undae Academy on Yuju Island, and also stayed on as a professor. Because he wanted to participate in the Left List Liberation Examination this fall, he was recommended to serve as a staff member under Wu Haowen - with his talent, if he wants to take the Right List Jinshi, it can be said that he will be nine out of ten.

But in the eyes of Shilin Qingliu at the moment, the left list Jinshi is a good man, and the right list Jinshi is just a martial arts warrior, which is not worth mentioning, so Zhang Zhifeng wants to fight on the left list.

And he didn't grasp the test in his hometown of Changzhou - he is from Wuxi County, Changzhou, because of the flourishing style of writing and the number of readers, so the difficulty of the test is also hell.

Moreover, the catty greasy in the hair release test is much bigger than the Ministry of Rites test, and for Zhang Zhifeng, who was born in a poor family, the certainty of passing is not very great.

So he wanted to take the path of locking the hall, and if he wanted to lock the hall, he had to have an official position, and if he wanted an official position, he had to have a master who could protect him, so he voted for Wu Haowen.

"It looks like Wu Shuaisi is here!" Zhang Zhifeng's eyes were sharp, and he had already watched Wu Haogu ride a tall horse, escorted by a group of entourage, from far and near, along the street towards the dock.

……

"Big brother, Su Xianggong ......"

"Not so good...... It's no longer sober. ”

The two brothers met on the dock, but they talked about Su Dongpo's condition. Wu Haogu came directly from Su Dongpo's mansion, he hadn't returned to the Wu family's mansion for many days, and he stayed in Su Dongpo's mansion to be a good apprentice. Because he knew that today was the day when Wu Haowen left Beijing to take up his post, he took the time to come to the dock to see off his younger brother.

In fact, he is pretending to be in Su Dongpo's house, he is not a doctor, nor is he Su Dongpo's son, and it is not his turn to be filial piety in front of the bed. He is actually reading books these days, reading the works of Sansu, such as "Yi Chuan", "Huangmen Laozi Explanation", "Zhilin", "Quanshu", "Heng Theory" and so on.

It's a bit ashamed to say that although Wu Haogu claims to be Su Dongpo's proud protégé and one of the seven scholars of Sumen (Wu Haogu, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, Chao Buzhi, Zhang Lei, Chen Shidao, and Li Li), he actually knows nothing about the real Sumen knowledge. Of course, learning is not to compose poems and fill in words, nor is it to write and paint, but to understand Confucianism, Buddhism, and the hundred schools of thought. Wu Haogu and Ersu are not all the way at all...... It wasn't until this time that I installed students in Su Dongpo's mansion and took some of the works of the three Sus to study, and I really understood a little bit of Su Men's thoughts.

"What about Daddy and Daddy? They're gone? ”

Wu Haogu looked around, but found no trace of Wu Chengzhi and Feng Erniang.

"It's gone." Wu Haowen said, "My mother is frail, and my father accompanied her back." ”

Feng Erniang is an elderly woman in the end, and her body is not strong, which hurts her vitality a little. Last winter, I contracted a cold again, and I haven't been able to do well. So I didn't stay at the dock for too long, so I went back with Wu Chengyi.

Wu Haogu nodded, "It's better to let Daddy go back to Beijing to be an official, so that I can take care of my little mother." ”

He always called Feng Erniang a little lady, not a mother.

Wu Haowen shook his head, "Forget it...... Daddy won't have a good life if he stays in Beijing, so it's better to go to Pingjiang Army. It's not far from Xiuzhou, and I can take care of it too. And there is Mi Xiangyang here, so he will not suffer. ”

Mi Xiangyang's official luck is of course good, and his sons Mi Youren and Zhao Ji are buddies! Zhao Ji has to take care of Mi Fu, right? Moreover, Wang Shu passed away last winter, and Zhao Ji cherished this "old friend" even more, so he made him the deputy envoy of the Sixth Route Shipment and the governor of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The two brothers were chatting, and a fast horse galloped over, and on horseback was Wu Chengjiu, Wu Haogu's follower. When he arrived at the dock, he grabbed the reins and shouted loudly: "Shuaisi, Mr. Dongpo is awake, you can go back quickly......"
