Although Wang Jinghui suppressed the establishment of the three Regulations, which caused his power and structure to be reduced by the emperor's direct attention, the prince-consort also publicly stated that he would not be embarrassed by the new law, which made Wang Anshi's heart acceptable. The recent debate has made him a little tired of running around. After all, there are more and more opponents. Although there are, none of them are powerful and talented. Originally, he thought that the prince-consort would stand on his opposite side due to the analysis of the discussions in the past, but now he has become a loser. It is not difficult to think that there will be opposition suggestions from the prince-consort in the future, but it is acceptable to be reasonable and well-founded.

"It seems I'm going to have a good talk with him!" Wang Anshi thought silently. The position of the prince-consort was very ambiguous at this time, but it was always better than being his opponent. If you can win over, you will win over. One more friend is always much better than one more enemy. He still understands this principle. Sima Guang and him gradually drifted apart, which was a big blow to Wang Anshi. Thinking that many people who had returned to the court to serve the country in the past have now begun to change their roles, this has made him feel a little sad. Wang Anshi needs new allies to inject fresh blood into the reform movement, and the prince-consort's young face came to his heart again.

When Wang Anshi came out of the palace and walked home in a carriage, he passed by a book shop on the street, and the roads were crowded and unable to pass. Wang Anshi heard something outside talking about "The Book of Ancient Literature" and "fake writing" in the car. He felt curious, so he asked the follower to go to the book shop to inquire. The follower returned and said, "It was the son-in-law Wang Jinghui who recently published a new book "Suspect the Book of Ancient Literature" and the scholars from Biandu were all rushing to buy it!"

"I have heard that my son-in-law loves reading "Shangshu" in the past few months. So that's it!" Wang Anshi is also a famous scholar. "Shangshu" is among the Five Classics and is one of the important Confucian classics. If such a book is questioned as a false example, it would be a big deal in the academic world at that time. For a moment, Wang Anshi was also curious and asked his servants to buy one.

Wang Anshi's reputation showed its power when buying books. The servant easily bought a book without having to queue up and handed it to Wang Anshi. While Wang Anshi was instructing the coachman to divert the lane, he opened the books and read them at a glance. He read very quickly, and when the carriage had just stopped at the door, he had already finished reading them all.

As one of the famous local scholars of the contemporary classics, Wang Anshi obviously understood that although some of Wang Jinghui's arguments in the book were not sufficient, "The Book of Ancient Literature" was a fake work by the Eastern Jin people, which is a foregone conclusion. The preface of this book was written by Ouyang Xiu himself. Such a heavyweight figure stood on Wang Jinghui's side. It can be said that it has basically become a foregone conclusion. There is nothing that is, the key is that Wang Jinghui proposed in the "Afterword" of this book: Suspicion is the basic quality that every scholar should have. The classics left by his predecessors should be learned and used in a volatile way and should not stick to the rules! Wang Jinghui did not know that he wrote an "Afterword" in his whim, and its value far exceeded the value of this book. Since then, the scholars in the Song Dynasty have been questioning the ancients. Various theories have continued to emerge, which is not something he could have expected.

Wang Anshi had just walked to the backyard with the book of land, and saw that Wang Anguo, who had not returned home for a long time, was sitting in the hall. Wang Anguo was originally frustrated in the examination room, and went to Huaying Academy just to help, but over time, he almost asked him to deal with anything other than the finances of the academy. Over time, he became accustomed to it. He also liked such a life very much, so he simply moved his home to the academy and became the executive principal.

"Pingfu, are you back?" Wang Anshi said to his younger brother. He had known about Wang Anguo's affairs at Huaying Academy for a long time. He was still very satisfied when he saw his younger brother being unintentional to the imperial examination and was busy running the school.

"Brother, I'm waiting for you here! Look at this book..." Wang Anguo was halfway through his speech, and saw that his elder brother also had a book in his hand, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my elder brother bought it and read it!"

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "The Book of Ancient Literature is a fake. How can I not buy such a major thing?! But Wang Bingzhi is really amazing. Now it seems that this book is a bit insufficient, but the Book of Ancient Literature is a fake, which has become a foregone conclusion!"

"Brother is very academic, and I am ashamed of it. I originally wanted to come over and see my brother's opinion, but now I understand!"

Wang Anshi said: "I am going to write a letter and write to the emperor to summon the Pavilion to review the book, and then suggest that the court abolish the "Ancient Literature Book" in the spring competition next year and only examine the "Morning Literature Book"!"

Wang Anguo smiled and said, "When I met Wang Gaizhi a few days ago, I asked him why he only questioned the "Shangshu of Ancient Literature". He replied, "Shangshu of Jinwen" also felt some problems, but that was presented by Fu Sheng of Jinan. Although there were any questions, it might be that Fu Sheng had remembered the wrong memory at that time. It was too difficult to question the "Shangshu of Ancient Literature" and it was not as difficult as possible!"

The two Wang Anshi brothers discussed the gains and losses of Wang Jinghui's new work in the hall. As soon as Wang Fang walked in from outside and saw Wang Anshi saying, "Father, has the emperor approved the three departments' regulations?"

Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "The emperor refused the Three Departments' Regulation on the name of infringing on the two governments and three departments, but he set a new scope and asked me to reconsider it and then write a letter to ask for a report."

After hearing this, Wang Fang said in a daze: "I heard that the emperor summoned Wang Gaizhi to the palace to face the saint last night and secretly discussed for a long time. Is he making a hindrance?"

"When the son-in-law entered the palace to meet the saint, the emperor did take out the "Regulations on the Establishment of the Three Divisions" and the "Qingmiao Law" to consult him. But he also made some suggestions out of public interest, which is nothing." Wang Anshi said lightly. Although he had some opinions about Wang Jinghui in his heart, it was not completely unreasonable. Moreover, the son-in-law himself also showed a kind-hearted move, so there was no need for him to pursue this issue.

"Father, don't you often say 'take thunder and light measures to relieve the severity of the disease'? Where can you not be opposed on the road to reform?! Father should suggest that the emperor behead those corrupt officials who oppose the reform in the city!"

"Fang'er, don't forget that although the prince-consort does not help you, it also has the virtue of giving medicine! Besides, as long as someone handes a note in the court, someone will definitely oppose it. I think the prince-consort is not that kind of villain, and his opposition must be opposed. Your father should pay attention to these opinions in order to accomplish something!" Wang Anguo was startled when he heard that Wang Wang Fang wanted to "execute" Wang Jinghui, and scolded him.

"Father, at this moment, the new law cannot be without prestige! The establishment of the Three-Secret Regulation Department is the key to it. But the prince consort has disrupted the situation, so how should we advance the new law? You must know that for a month, although the emperor announced your reform, the new law has not been implemented yet. Isn't it because we have no power?! Finally, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Tang Jie and other corrupt people left Biandu. If they don't fight for it, they will probably regret it too late!" Wang Fang ignored his uncle Wang Anguo's lesson and tried his best to urge Wang Anshi not to retreat from the issue of the Three-Secret Regulation Department.

"Fang'er, this is too much, so I can't mention it again!" Wang Anshi said with a gloomy face. He glanced at his son dissatisfiedly. This son is truly intelligent, but he also likes to be self-righteous: "Don't you know that the prince consort is the most favored person of the two generations of emperors. Even saving the Supreme Emperor twice, Ouyang Xiu also owed him a life. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know how many people would die in a plague. Master Zhifang also said that you have a strange disease, and Wang Gaizhi is the only one in the world who can save you. If you can

If you live forty safely, then he will be your savior! The book he published now questions the Confucian classic "Shangshu" in the hearts of all students. Although you have been quick-witted since childhood and have written thousands of words, you can annotate Buddhist books and "Laozi" at such a young age, but you are still far from him. Although I am called "The Five Classics of Concerning", I have not reached the point of questioning the classics. Wang Gaizhi can be among the masters of classics with this book. In the future, the academics will become more and more profound. It is difficult to guarantee that you are not a generation of scholars! How can you "suppress" such a person!"

Wang Fang was stunned after hearing this, while Wang Anguo was shocked. He thought that his elder brother would really want to use power to attack Wang Jinghui, which would offend him.

"The prince-in-law is no better than others. Although he hindered the establishment of the Sansi Regulations, he did not deny it completely like others. Instead, he felt that the Sansi Regulations were too powerful and suspected of infringement. A few days ago, the king changed his mind to use Chao Cuo's affairs to describe it, clearly trying to protect me!

He also clearly told the emperor that he would not hinder the new law, but that the regulations on the new law would be filled with shortcomings, which is far better than those of Han Qi. The long-term vision of the prince-consort is even less than that of me. If he can make up for it from the side, it will be of immeasurable benefit to the new law!" Wang Anshi added.

After hearing this, Wang Anguo felt relieved, but he said worriedly: "Brother, if the three departments are set up, it will not only infringe on the power of the two governments and three departments, but also in the court will also become a mess of disputes, shirks and procrastination. Brother, it is not that I have spoken too much, the reform has not yet begun, and the voices of opposition from the court are extremely unfavorable to you. I hope my brother will think carefully!" He is also a general history person, so he naturally knows what the outcome will be for those who advocate reform in history. No matter what the initial motives of the parties involved are, the results are similar. He wants to persuade his brother to turn back. Although he knows that this is impossible, he still can't help but give it a try.

Wang Anshi said: "After the favor of the emperor, Anshi presided over the 'reform' this time, he should be determined and move forward bravely. Pingfu, brother should know your intentions, but the Song Dynasty has reached a state of constant decline. We should be willing to give in. I believe that Sima Junshi, Su Zizhan, Wang Gaizhi and others are all so. Otherwise, Sima Junshi would not have been honored for his brother when the Supreme Emperor was in power. Su Zizhan promoted innovation with twenty-five chapters of "Advanced Relationship" and twenty-five chapters of "Advanced Strategy" that year, which shocked the court and the country; and Wang Gaizhi would not have to run to Chuzhou to do those things. We have the same intentions, but we have different skills. We have decided for our brother, so Pingfu doesn't need to say more!"

Just when Wang Anshi and his son had different opinions on Wang Jinghui's handling and refuted each other, Wang Jinghui submitted a reply to Sima Guang's concierge. Today, this is his first visit to Sima Guang. He had only had letters with Sima Guang before, and when he met, he was in the Funing Hall. In the last "Four Ministers' Invitation" incident, he took evasion measures. In addition to finding an opportunity to apologize today, he wanted to have a good exchange of opinions with this historian second only to Sima Qian, so as not to repeat the old path of history and resist Wang Anshi to the end, and end up with both losses.

Liu An, an old butler in his fifties, took the invitation and looked at Wang Jinghui curiously: Although his body was not rich, it was clean and neat, and naturally flowed with a graceful and generous atmosphere. Could this be the rumored prince-in-law who was so rumored to be the throne of the Longtu Pavilion at such a young age? I heard that he also highly praised Bao Zheng and wrote "Biography of Bao Zheng" for this. Those storytellers in the Daxiangguo Temple regarded his books as a must-have program?

When Wang Jinghui saw the old housekeeper looking at him with curious eyes, he was not in a hurry and said warmly:

"Brother-in-law, please give the address to your husband. I will say that the prince-consort asked him for a cup of tea."

Only then did Liu An realize that he was a little rude and said with a smile: "Mr. Concubine, please sit here first, I'll inform the scholar." After that, he walked into the inner house.

When Wang Jinghui heard the "scholar", he was stunned. Then he thought that in theory, the butler who participated in political affairs would call the master the master, the prime minister or the minister, but the butler Sima Guang was not called that. In later generations, he only heard a short story that told this, but he did not expect it to be true.

Sima Guang was sorting out the classics in his study. He first presented 25 volumes of "Previous Years" since the first year of Zhiping of Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty, and two years later submitted 8 volumes of "Tongzhi". His writings were praised by Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu and the new emperor Zhao Xu. Song Yingzong agreed to set up a bookstore and chose his own officials. Zhao Xu even named this book "Zizhi Tongjian" for "in view of the past, he was able to govern the way" and personally compiled a preface to show his importance. In addition to allowing him to borrow all the royal book materials in the museum, Zhao Xu also wrote 3 old books in Yingdi.

400 volumes were rewarded for Sima Guang's reference. The pen, ink, silk, silk, and fruit bait and money required for writing books were provided by the state, providing him with generous conditions for writing books. This historical book expresses his desire to govern the country. He earnestly hopes that the emperor can "see the rise and fall of the previous life and the gains and losses of the past life and the present through reading this book. He cherishes good and prides himself on evil, and takes right and wrong. Therefore, he has a good understanding of the great virtues of the ancients, and has reached the highest rule of the past, so that all living in the world can all receive their blessings." In fact, this is also a way for him to govern the country and dominate the country.

Sima Guang was stunned when he heard that Wang Jinghui came to him to ask for a cup of tea: Wang Jinghui's Hanlin Bachelor's edict was about to come down. According to the rules, private meetings between the political affairs and the Hanlin Bachelor's master are prohibited from being close to each other. Although this rule has been destroyed, Sima Guang was inevitably going to give up when he thought of Wang Jinghui's identity and recent actions. Just when he was about to refuse, the old housekeeper said with a smile: "People say that the eldest princess is the most handsome and capable prince consort since the Song Dynasty. I think this is true! He came by himself, without a follower, and he spoke kindly, and did not have the magic of being successful in his youth. It seems that he is very gentle to others!"

After hearing this, Sima Guang swallowed the words he said: "Liu An, the prince consort of love, go and take out the bag of Chuzhou tribute tea rewarded by the Supreme Emperor last year!"

This year, spring was the most confusing time in his life. Wang Anshi was his friend. He worked with the Group Maid Department for many years and formed a deep friendship. However, after returning to the center of the court, he became another stranger while shouting reforms. Wang Gaizhi, the young hero he valued the most, was kind and generous, and indifferent to fame and fortune. His actions in Chuzhou once allowed him to see the hope of the new generation of the Song Dynasty, but after returning to Beijing, his strange silence caught him off guard. He didn't know what was wrong with these two people?

"Maybe it's time to talk openly!" Sima Guang thought silently in his heart.

Wang Jinghui didn't wait long. He didn't know that he could almost enter Sima Guang's house. When the butler Liu An said that he would invite him to enter, he followed him and slowly entered Sima Guang's mansion.

Sima Guang's home is not big, similar to Su Shi's home. It is a typical two-entry house with a small garden behind it, with several plum trees planted in it. However, compared with Sima Guang's official position, his home is obviously too shabby, which is far inferior to the home of his cheap adoptive father Han Qi, not to mention that this small courtyard is also the location of the "Zizhi Tongjian" Bookstore.

When he walked to the entrance of the study, Liu An stopped and said to Wang Jinghui, "Mr. Concubine, the scholar is in the bookstore, you can go in by yourself!" After that, he turned around and left.

"Honey, wait!"

"What are the instructions for the prince consort?"

"Old man, I think your legs and feet don't seem to be very flexible. If you have wind and cold symptoms, you can go to the civilian clinic in the west of the city and report my name. The doctor there is my disciple, and he will do his best to treat you!"

"Haha, thank you for your concern, I will go!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Wang Jinghui pushed open the door of the study and saw Sima Guang standing next to a charcoal fire waiting for him. Sima Guang strictly forbids to make fires in the bookstore. In winter, there is only a fire in the living room downstairs for visitors to keep warm. "Mr. Junshi, students come here to visit the teacher!"
