Chapter 1146 Nine Tins
Lao Wen waited in the guest room for a while, and Zhang Fangping slowly appeared, staggering. It took only a long time since he saw him. Lao Wen didn't dare to recognize him. Zhang Fangping didn't have a black hair on his head, and he was all white. His cheeks were covered with age spots, his spine was bent, his movements were slow, and his eyes were dull... From top to bottom, from left to right, no matter how you look at it, he was an old man who was in his life, and he was much older than Wen Yanbo!
"Brother An Dao, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Fangping looked up and smiled bitterly.
"Brother Kuanfu, it was because I overestimated my ability and took it upon myself that I had the end of today. I am so ashamed!" Zhang Fangping lowered his head and had no shame to see anyone.
The higher you are, the harder you fall!
A few days ago, he was praised into heaven, like a living god who predicted things like a god. But in a blink of an eye, most of the chaos in Tianzhu was solved, and his prophecy was gone.
Mr. Zhang is a shameless person. Thinking about the ridicule and ridicule he has to face, his eyes are getting dark. If a person lives with a face and becomes a clown, it is better to die.
Zhang Fangping really wanted to hang himself, and he was even ready.
But who knew that first Sima Guang, then Wen Yanbo, the two of them visited one after another, which made Zhang Fangping confused. Why did he lose such a big person and become a blessing in disguise?
"Brother Kuanfu, what advice do you have for visiting?"
Wen Yanbo smiled indifferently, "I dare not say anything about the advice. Actually, I think Brother An Dao doesn't need to be so concerned. Ups and downs are common, and it's nothing great to see."
Zhang Fangping's old face became even more miserable if he didn't open the pot.
He is different from Wen Yanbo. He does not have the physique of a tumbler. It is enough to be fatal to suffer such a big fall in his life.
"Brother Kuanfu doesn't have to comfort me. I'm taking it upon myself. No matter how the court deals with it, I admit it. Even if I say that I disturb the morale of the army and suck the morale, I will go with them. At worst, I can just take this head away..."
"Don't!"
Wen Yanbo quickly waved his hand, "Brother An Dao, to put it bluntly, there are not a few of our generation left. Although you have fallen into trouble, you won't be able to lose your life. Think about it a little bit."
"Otherwise!" Zhang Fangping came up and became stubborn. He shook his head and said, "I used the rebellion of Tianzhu as the basis to attack the officials of the Zhengshi Hall, oppose bank reform, and even sent a secret memorial to Your Majesty to inform Wang Ning'an... I have done everything I should do and what I shouldn't have done. Now the Prince of Qin has made great contributions, and the rebellion of Tianzhu has subsided in a blink of an eye. I was wrong. Zhengshi Hall will not let me go. Brother Kuanfu, I am afraid I will not be able to survive. If you can help me take care of my family, I will be grateful. Please!"
As he said that, Zhang Fangping burst into tears, sad and angry.
Wen Yanbo looked at him with a lot of words, and finally he was left with a sigh.
"Brother An Dao, I won't talk to you about who is right or wrong... I just want to tell you that there is still room for ease of relieving this matter."
"Can you still ease it? I don't believe it, Brother Kuanfu, don't coax me!"
Wen Yanbo's face darkened, "After listening to me, the King of Qin is still reasonable. You just said something in your heart and did not do anything. I, the Song Dynasty, have never been punished for words. Even if Brother An Dao affects the morale of the army, he will not be beheaded. Besides, it can be remedy!"
"Remedy? How to remedy?" Zhang Fangping thought hard, but there was no way, otherwise how could he think of suicide? Could it be that Wen Yanbo really has the ability to turn the world around and turn black and white?
You know, the words Zhang Fangping said were already written in black and white, and almost all newspapers were available. They could not be denied, and the explanation could not be explained clearly...
"Brother An Dao, of course, you cannot take back or erase anything you said... I think your judgment may not be unreasonable. In fact, after the expansion of the Tianzhu rebellion, almost everyone thought that it would be delayed for a long time, and there are many places that are similar to your opinion."
"But only I said it the most overstated!" Zhang Fangping was still worried.
"Hahaha, Brother An Dao, our views are the same. It is difficult to solve the rebellion of Tianzhu... But the King of Qin planned and arranged his troops in advance. The prince Wang Zonghan was brave and fearless, and he was determined to command. He quelled the rebels that no one could solve. The King of Qin was the pillars of my Song Dynasty. They saved the Song Dynasty a great disaster. It was amazing!"
Wen Yanbo's tone was exaggerated, and he praised the Wang family and his son to the sky. Obviously, the difference was quite different from the facts. Zhang Fangping was a little slow and he could recall it after a while.
"Brother Kuanfu, do you mean that you will give all the credit to the King of Qin and his son?"
"You can't say it to the King of Qin, just tell the truth!"
puff!
Zhang Fangping vomited blood and finally saw Wen Yanbo's shamelessness. You old guy is so shameless!
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Fangping shook his head, "I can't do it. I used to scold Wang Ning'an so much. Now I'd like to praise him, it's better to kill me!"
"Brother An Dao, you are too stubborn!" Wen Yanbo said bitterly: "You only said that you didn't understand the layout of the King of Qin, underestimated the wisdom of the King of Qin. If you sincerely apologize, everyone can accept it. At most, it is a misjudgment. If you are careful, no one can touch you."
Zhang Fangping cursed in his heart!
The surname Wen, if I am willing to admit my mistake and throw an old face out, I will not lose my head even without you!
"Brother Kuangfu, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Let me take back my words, I will never be able to do it!"
"you!"
Wen Yanbo was furious and pointed his finger at Zhang Fangping's forehead, "Brother An Dao, you are a big deal, you are all, you can't even be able to stretch or bend! I'll ask you, how many sons do you have and how many grandchildren do you have?"
"I have 5 sons and 17 grandsons... Why, Wang Ning'an will harm his family?" Zhang Fangping said horrified.
"I'm so confused!" Lao Wen said bluntly: "Brother An Dao, you went to me last time and mentioned the recovery of the gold standard. Can't you understand that if you restore the gold standard, who will benefit?"
"Yes, it's the common people! The court cannot issue money casually, and prices will not rise. Isn't this a good thing?"
Wen Yanbo rolled his eyes, "Why can't you understand? Restore the gold standard and link the banknotes with gold. The gold production is limited, and the currency issuance will inevitably be insufficient... At this time, whoever has more money in his hands and who has more gold and silver will take the opportunity to Dafali Market! Brother An Dao, do you understand?"
Sweat beads flowed down Zhang Fangping's temples, and these words really hit his vitals.
To be honest, Zhang Fangping always thought that his proposal to restore the gold standard was a good thing that benefits the country and the people. He occupied the title of righteousness, was righteous and fearless.
Lao Wen's few words directly expose his last confidence.
Restoring the gold standard is only beneficial to the financial group. Before he knew it, he became a thug introduced by financial forces, which made Zhang Fangping very confused and difficult to accept.
But it wasn't acceptable, he froze.
Wen Yanbo snorted, it is really bold enough to dare to jump out and make trouble based on your practice!
"Brother An Dao, after all, the troubles these days are all the battle between the King of Qin and the financial forces. You are being caught in it. When you reach this vortex, you can't escape. You are afraid of losing face. You want the dignity of the scholar-officials and don't want to change your mouth. What would Wang Ning'an and his disciples think? They only think that you are involved in the financial group, and they are devoted to doing things for them. Now both sides are red-eyed and will not show mercy at all. Do you think your life is enough? Sorry, not enough! If you don't think of a solution quickly, your family will die to the forefront!"
After Wen Yanbo's on-demand broadcast, Zhang Fangping finally realized the terrible situation.
It is not a dispute of intention or a matter of face, but a decisive battle between the two sides, only asking about the outcome, not talking about right and wrong... I am still in the officialdom and for so many years, but I haven't seen through it.
Damn it, it's really damn!
As a father and a ancestor, I have harmed the family!
Zhang Fangping suddenly felt weak and he knelt down.
"Brother Kuanfu, you must help me! I beg you!"
A person in his seventies was crying, kneeling on the ground, begging constantly. He was talking about dignity, but there was nothing left at this moment!
This is the end of being unwise!
Lao Wen did not sympathize with Zhang Fangping. He came here this time and felt that Zhang Fangping still had value in exploitation.
"Brother An Dao, get up first."
Finally, Zhang Fangping was helped up, Wen Yanbo said: "You can't care about your face now. Brother An Dao should write an article immediately and publish it. You should praise the Qin King and his son, who use troops like a god, resolve the crisis, and make great contributions. Although Guan Zhong and Leyi cannot be compared."
At this time, what else can Zhang Fangping say?
"I can write it, Brother Kuanfu, that's all?"
"Of course not." Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Brother An Dao, the King of Qin has worked hard for the country for so many years, promoted reforms, and expanded territory. Needless to say, what he did, the Song Dynasty could have the national power today, but the King of Qin is inseparable from the King of Qin!"
Zhang Fangping nodded, "That's true, but he is already the King of Qin, the Prime Minister, and the highest-ranking minister. He has never been promoted again."
Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Yes, the official cannot be promoted, but other rewards are still acceptable."
"For example?" Zhang Fangping couldn't think of anything.
Wen Yanbo said: "For example, chariots, horses, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, tigers, axes, bows, arrows, turtles, etc."
He said nine things in total, and Zhang Fangping was so scared that his face turned pale.
"This is the ritual of Jiuxi!"
"That's right, it's the ritual of the Nine Tin. Since ancient times, ministers who have had special merits should enjoy the ritual vessels of the Nine Tin. The contribution of the King of Qin has been enough. The reward of the Nine Tin just reflects the court's intention to attach importance to the meritorious officials."
Lao Wen was serious, but Zhang Fangping didn't listen to a word. He only had a bunch of tough names left in his head... Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Sima Zhao...
"Mr. Wen, this is going to usurp the throne!"
Lao Wen's face sank, "It's not that serious. I didn't say that I would give you nine things together. Just picking up a few of them can also demonstrate the achievements of the King of Qin. What's wrong?"
Zhang Fangping finally nodded and said to himself: "That's true... I really didn't expect that your ideas would coincide?"
"Who?" Lao Wen asked in surprise. He didn't tell anyone else!
"Sima Junshi, he just came to see me and was talking about this." Zhang Fangping answered truthfully.
