Chapter 4 Renew the Glory (Part 2)
Chapter 4: Resuming the glory (Chinese)
"Why haven't the official family come yet?"
"Do you want to send a few people to the government?"
"It's true that the government didn't come like such a big happy event!"
There was a buzzing sound in the Daqing Hall, and the ministers whispered and talked.
Song Shenzong did not appear for a long time, which really made them unable to understand. Such a big event was a happy event that Song Shenzong had been looking forward to. Logically, he should have come early, but he didn't come. Who wouldn't be curious?
"Jiefu, the official family is..." Sima Guang couldn't figure it out and had to ask Wang Anshi.
For Sima Guang, Wang Anshi was the person he hated the most, but he had to ask about it now.
"Junshi, I don't know either!" Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "These days, the official family has not seen anyone, and even I have not seen each other."
After hearing this, Sima Guang felt a little more uncomfortable. The more Wang Anshi was favored, the more unhappy he was. Wang Anshi was very happy when he did not see Song Shenzong.
"The official's family is here!" At this moment, Shao Jiu's sharp voice sounded.
"It's finally here!" The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down happily to take the bus.
I saw Song Shenzong strode with his big sleeves surrounded by Shao Jiu and others, his big sleeves were floating, and his footsteps were light. It was not walking, but floating. Yan Yun recovered, and everyone felt that his body was much lighter, and he was floating when he walked, and Song Shenzong was no exception.
"Haha!" The ministers were greatly infected and burst into laughter. See you with great gifts.
Song Shenzong waved his right hand and asked the ministers to stand up. The ministers thanked him and stood up. They saw the eunuch carrying more than twenty baskets, each of which was covered with red silk, and were full of joy. In addition, it was a festive time, and the ministers couldn't help but think about the better.
"There must be gold, silver and jewelry inside!"
"Haha! The official family has not come for a long time. It turns out that they have been preparing gold, silver and jewelry for rewards!"
"How can such a great event be without reward?"
The ministers thought it was pretty, and although they were talking in a low voice, there were many people hearing it. Shao Jiu heard it. He looked at Sima Guang and saw that Sima Guang's eyes were blazing with a blazing light, staring at the baskets, with red light on his face, and he was very hopeful.
"Sima Guang, Sima Guang, are you thinking about receiving rewards? When you know what is here, can you still laugh?" Shao Jiu murmured in secret.
Song Shenzong was also an interesting person. He clearly wanted to rectify the court and eliminate the opposition and brought their memorials, but he asked the eunuchs to cover them with red silk, which made people feel happy and forced to think about the rewards.
Once the ministers' ideas are shattered, their expressions are absolutely brilliant!
Song Shenzong is really good at teasing people!
Just as the ministers were expecting, Song Shenzong did not sit down, but walked happily and came to the ministers. His eyes were favored together. He looked at this and then looked at that one, looking at it with joy.
The ministers were greatly infected, all of them raised their heads and raised their chests. When they saw Song Shenzong coming, they burst into laughter. For a moment, the entire Daqing Palace was filled with laughter.
Yan Yun’s recovery was a great joy, and with Song Shenzong working so hard, the joy was even more serious. Even Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others also smiled with their mouths and their eyes narrowed into a small slit.
Since Song Shenzong ascended the throne, the ministers have not been so happy.
"My dear friends, are you happy?" Song Shenzong stopped suddenly, and by chance, he happened to be in front of Sima Guang.
This made Sima Guang very excited, and he opened his mouth and saw a long list of laughter: "Haha!"
"Haha!" Song Shenzong asked knowingly, and was joking. The ministers answered with a string of laughter. This was the best answer, surpassing any words.
"I am also happy! I am very happy!" Although there is something big to do, it does not hinder the joy of Song Shenzong. Yan Yun's recovery was a huge joy for Song Shenzong. It was just because he had to temporarily suppress it because he had to plan a big thing. Now, he was really happy. He opened his mouth and couldn't get together, but he was three more intimate than laughing at Maitreya.
"Haha!" The ministers burst into laughter.
"My dear friends, I have been in the court for a while, right? I have not noticed any other emotions except your joy. Is there anything else?" What surprised the ministers was that Song Shenzong did not say happy words anymore, but changed the subject, looked at the ministers, and said something he could not imagine.
"This..." The ministers suddenly didn't react and were extremely puzzled.
"Officials, what else can there besides joy when they are happy?" Some ministers spoke frankly and expressed their voices.
"Is that right?" Song Shenzong asked lightly, as if it had nothing to do with importance.
Only Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and others who know Song Shenzong knew that Song Shenzong was definitely pointing out, but what was it?
Although they understood Song Shenzong, they couldn't understand what Song Shenzong intended for a while.
"I have it!" Wang Anshi's eyes turned, and suddenly understood, took a step forward, and shouted: "Report to the official, I have a memorial!"
"Jie Fu!" Song Shenzong looked at Wang Anshi, feeling very relieved. Wang Anshi was the minister he relied most. If Wang Anshi was not the first to understand what he meant, he would be disappointed. Wang Anshi was the first to understand. Song Shenzong nodded and said happily: "Jie Fu, you said."
"Official family, Yan Yun is happy to recover, but there are many problems." Wang Anshi's words were a bit disgusting.
"Grandpa Wang, this is a time of celebration, how can you say this?" Some ministers were very dissatisfied and reminded him. Even Sima Guang raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied.
However, Wang Anshi ignored it and continued: "For more than a hundred years, the land of Yanyun has been in the hands of foreign races. The people of Yanyun have been oppressed by foreign races, suffered all their fatigue and suffered all their hardships. They were very tired and were extremely worried about the court's pacification. I asked the officials to send a minister to appease the emperor."
"Why didn't I expect it?" After hearing this, Sima Guang couldn't help but regret it. This was the top priority, and he actually took the lead for Wang Anshi.
"Yeah!" Song Shenzong nodded with relief and said, "Not bad! Not bad! Although Yan Yun has recovered, there are many problems. Yan Yun is broken, and the people of Yan Yun are hungry. The court must appease the people of Yan Yun. It is not about regaining Yan Yun. It is not about asking for help, not for achievements, but for the great power of the Song Dynasty, but for the reunion of relatives in China!"
Speaking of this, Song Shenzong's tone was very sad: "Since the son emperor Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun's land to Liao Gou, the people of Yanyun have lived in the heat of water and heat. They have not returned to China's arms for more than a hundred years. When they returned to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty wanted to make them feel like home and to be proud of returning to China's arms!"
"The official family is wise!" The ministers already understood that Song Shenzong wanted to take this opportunity to discuss Yan Yun's affairs. Although it was a bit early to discuss this matter at this time, it was just right to celebrate. However, Yan Yun's affairs were imminent. It was not to fight and take them back, but to manage them well. It had to be done.
"I read the Book of Han and knew that after Wei Qing captured the Hetao land, the news came, Chang'an was boiling, and the ministers came to congratulate him. For a moment, the Han Dynasty was filled with joy." Song Shenzong raised his eyebrows and said with a point of view: "Only the Lord Father Yan was the only one who was congratulating the city of Shuofang. Hanwu adopted it and built Shuofang City, where he accumulated food, grass, armour, and raised war horses, and prepared for the 'decisive battle in Mobei'. At that time, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong and others had no plans except for congratulations. Only the Lord Father Yan was far-sighted and understood the benefits and interests. It was a joyful congratulation. I also had a Lord Father Yan!"
As he said that, Song Shenzong looked at Wang Anshi with a lot of appreciation.
Zhufu Yan, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, was a strange man of a generation. When the ministers only knew how to congratulate him, he proposed the proposal to build Shuofang and adopted it by Emperor Wu of Han. The later Han-Xiong war proved that this was a visionary measure. Without Shuofang City as the basis, Emperor Wu of Han would not have been able to carry out the "decisive battle in Mobei". Then, there would be no legends such as "Shanyu escaped at night" and "Fenglangjuxu".
Song Shenzong used this matter to praise Wang Anshi and compared Wang Anshi to Master Fu Yan. This was a very high praise. The ministers were so jealous that they were jealous. Song Shenzong had never praised anyone so much since he ascended the throne.
"Bang!" Sima Guang slapped himself and regretted it. Why didn't he expect it? Wang Anshi was in the limelight! Yan Yun's recovery made the throne of Song Shenzong stable, and by the way, Wang Anshi's position was extremely stable. In addition, who could move Wang Anshi's position?
Sima Guang's knowledge is not inferior to Wang Anshi. Besides, he has gained fame and reputation over the years. If he first advocated this proposal, it would definitely be a great honor and his popularity would be even more intense. Unfortunately, he did not expect that he would not be able to regret it.
Not only Sima Guang, but also Han Qi and Lu Gong. The incident of Master Yan's first initiative to build Shuofang is recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Book of Han". They have read it, but they have not remembered it.
"Well!" Song Shenzong was particularly pleased and happy, saying, "What Jie Fu said is extremely true. Who else do you have good opinions?"
All the things that should be said were told to Wang Anshi, who could still have any insights? For a moment, the ministers could only stop talking.
"Sima Guang, you are famous all over the world, do you have any explanation?" Song Shenzong turned around, looked at Sima Guang with bright eyes.
"The official family, what Jiefu said is indeed reasonable." Sima Guang had no clever insight: "I'd like to ask the official family to implement it as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Song Shenzong stared at Sima Guang and didn't say anything for a long time. Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, as if he had made a major decision.
Sima Guang saw it and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. Song Shenzong was disappointed. What disappointed Song Shenzong? He felt it was not good, but he didn't know what was wrong.
"Su Shi, you are a talented man, and you are famous all over the world. Tell me," Song Shenzong's eyes swept across the ministers and finally stopped on Su Shi.
"The official family, I have nothing to say!" Su Shi was much more direct than Sima Guang: "I am willing to go to Yanyun to appease the people, and I also ask the official family to allow it!"
"Haha!" Song Shenzong nodded slightly and said, "You great talent, you want to go to Yanyun's land. Once you have a good time, you will definitely have many excellent works! Anyone else wants to say?"
Under the gaze of Emperor Shenzong of Song, the ministers kept silent and no one spoke.
