Just when Wen Yanbo was extremely proud and had a chance to win.
He heard a young child's voice.
"Grand Master..."
Wen Yanbo raised his head and saw the young master on the throne.
"I have something I want to ask the Grand Master for advice..."
"Don't dare!" Wen Yanbo said with his hands in hand: "Your Majesty asked me, I know everything I know and I can't tell you anything!"
"I remember that my father once taught me how to read..."
"I asked my father, Confucius said Cheng Ren, what does it mean to be benevolent?"
"Father said: A benevolent person loves others!"
Wen Yanbo immediately paid homage again: "The Emperor Daxing has given the saint's teachings to His Majesty with great respect. It is truly the blessing of the world!"
Zhao Xu, however, was unhurried and continued to speak calmly: "So I asked my father to teach me how to behave as a king if he wants to love others."
"Father then taught me the story of the country..."
Wen Yanbo's eyebrows jumped, and his intuition told him that something seemed not good.
"Father, please tell me about your love for the country and the people..."
"One of them is that in the first year of Xining, a villager was ordered to move seven cents of money thousands of miles to Beijing because of his service in front of the Yamen. Along the way, he suffered countless difficulties from officials and braved rain, snow, wind and frost. It took him a year's work to reach Beijing.
…”
"When my father heard about it, he couldn't sleep all night. He even went out of the palace at starry night to apologize before the ancestors of the Jinling Palace..."
When Wen Yanbo heard this, he immediately bowed in front of him and said, "Emperor Daxing is divine and wise, and the old ministers also admire him!"
The two palaces behind the curtain also smelled something at this time.
The first advocate, Han Jiang?
Maybe, but the real promoter, decision-maker and policy maker can only be the Daxing Emperor!
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Master's words are serious!"
"My father once taught me... During the Jiayou period, the Grand Master first advocated the establishment of the Department of Tolerance to the People, with the mission of mitigating the suffering of Yamen all over the world..."
"I still remember that when my father mentioned this matter, he told me that many regulations in the exemption law were chosen from the old wisdom of the Grand Master..."
This is a fact!
The changes in the military laws of the Song Dynasty never happened overnight, but went through a long process of evolution.
Wen Yanbo also actively participated in it and played an important role.
However, Wen Yanbo at that time was not the Wen Lugong and Wen Taishi today.
Humans are such strange creatures.
Once you hate someone or something, you will hate everything and regard everything about that person as your enemy.
This is especially true for political beings.
Party unity and opposition to differences are only the lowest stage of party struggle.
The advanced stage of party struggle is like that of Wen Yanbo.
I am not what you want!
Therefore, in order to oppose Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo could even shake hands with Wang Gongchen, his mortal enemy who caused the failure of the Qingli New Deal, and make progress together.
When the party struggle reached its extreme, it was the Yuanyou and Shaosheng era that Zhao Xu experienced in his previous life.
reason?
Who can reason with you?
Let’s take a stand!
Tell me, who do you support?
Those who support Wang Anshi, Wang Jiefu and Wang Xianggong stand on the left, and those who support Sima Guang and Sima Junshi stand on the right.
During Yuanyou's era, anyone who dared to stand on the left was kicked out - even his own people in the past.
If you dare to choose the one on the right during the Shaosheng era, you will have a high probability of eating lychees in Lingnan.
As for right and wrong, no one has paid attention to it for a long time.
Fortunately, Wen Yanbo is now facing Zhao Xu, who has returned from studying abroad.
If it were just the Zhao Xu from the previous life.
Now he has called the loyal Yu Longzhi to come in quickly, drag out the old man Wen Yanbo, and throw him into the Bian River to feed the fish.
After studying abroad for ten years in the modern era, Zhao Xu's biggest change is that he has dealt with all kinds of people in the process of constantly running for jobs to ask for money.
He learned to make peace with himself.
I also learned how to be a real political creature.
He even learned to deal with people who disgusted every fiber of his being.
Is Wen Yanbo hateful?
Zhao Xu felt hateful.
But can it be disposed of?
no!
He is a veteran of the Four Dynasties and the core of the old party.
Let alone deal with him, even if you say something now that makes him dissatisfied.
Wen Yanbo would just give up and quit!
It's a small matter to run away Wen Yanbo, but it's a big deal to tear the entire country apart!
Besides, the two palaces would not support Zhao Xu doing such a thing.
Therefore, Zhao Xu could only pinch his nose, endure the nausea, and continued: "To be honest, Grand Master, my father mentioned it to me many times in Japan..."
"My father once said: The Grand Master is a well-known veteran and important minister in the world, and he is an indispensable pillar of our country and society!"
"In December last year, my father told me that if the grand master comes to the court, he must not be allowed to return to Luoyang again!"
"Let the Grand Master stay in the court so that I can listen to the Grand Master's advice on how to plan the country at any time! Listen to the Grand Master's teachings nearby..."
"My mother-in-law and my mother-in-law have also mentioned the grand master in front of me many times..."
"They say that the Grand Master is the true minister of the country and the arm of the country!"
"Master, you won't let me down, right?" Zhao Xu said, looking at Wen Yanbo expectantly with a pair of sincere and flawless eyes.
Even though Wen Yanbo was already hard-hearted, he was still a little embarrassed by Zhao Xu's gaze.
He could only scratch his neck and say: "I don't have a good temper. I'm afraid many people in the court won't like what I say!"
Zhao Xu laughed immediately.
"Master's words are serious!"
Zhao Xu knew very well that he could not deal with Wen Yanbo.
This is not a question of whether it can be done, but whether it is worth it.
Wen Yanbo was a veteran of the four dynasties. Even in the Shaosheng era, it would have been too much to move him.
It's not worth risking the country being torn apart and the world being corrupted for the sake of an eighty-year-old man!
and……
Zhao Xu knew that in fact, everything Wen Yanbo was doing now was disguised.
Don't be fooled by his current appearance.
Do you really think that Wen Yanbo is like Sima Guang, a person who would rather die than take advantage of the new law? Before he died, he even held Lu Gongzhu's hand and coerced Lu Gongzhu to say: If the exemption law continues, I will not die in peace?
That would be a big mistake!
Look at the in-laws of the Wen family!
Who did the sons of the Wen family marry? Who did the daughters of the Wen family marry?
In addition to marrying each other with old party ministers such as the Bao family, Han family, and Wu family.
The sons, grandsons, daughters, and granddaughters of the Wen family often marry important members of the new party.
Wen Yanbo's favorite eldest grandson, Wen Kangshi, married the daughter of the younger brother of New Party Minister Cai Que!
And what happened to Xingshu?
No one knows better than those who have studied abroad for ten years in modern times, the little things in the hearts of these elders and ministers.
"To be fair to the Grand Master, my father has told me that when the Grand Master enters the court, I will treat him with the courtesy of a master..."
"Father also specially prepared a gift for the Grand Master..."
Wen Yanbo raised his head.
"Pingzhang's military affairs are important!" Zhao Xu said softly: "This is to praise the grand master for working hard for the country and for the country's decades of hard work..."
"What's more, I want to use this to tell the world that the Grand Master is a figure like the Duke of Zhou in the dynasty!"
If you want to take it first, you must give it first.
Since ancient times, successful politicians have paralyzed powerful political opponents when their own strength was not strong enough.
"Master will not abandon me and ignore me, right?" Zhao Xu said seriously.
If Wen Yanbo really dares...
That was in line with Zhao Xu's wishes.
Unfortunately, Wen Yanbo is not that kind of person.
Holding the Chao Huat, he suddenly shed tears and burst into tears, crying: "Emperor Daxing..."
"Old minister, I am really... really... ashamed!"
Well, I don’t know if everyone will be satisfied with this handling.
However, under the social background of the Song Dynasty, there was really nothing that could be done to Wen Yanbo.
You can't scold, you can't scold, you can't hit, you can't hit.
All I can say is, if you can't deal with the old man, how can you deal with those little guys?
