Chapter 470 Old things and new stories
The three imperial guards of the Imperial City Department rode horses and stood in front, which invisibly added momentum to the Wen family's convoy.
Those who can live near Wen’s house are naturally not ordinary families. Some people touch their beards and smile, and are already thinking about how to get closer to Wen’s house.
Not long after, the Wen family's convoy slowly started to move, and only then did he realize that the Wen family's guard team had forty or fifty people!
The people from the Imperial City Department looked back, looked at each other with a look of vigilance.
Although it is not strange that wealthy families are traveling now, hundreds of people and dozens of carriages are often traveling, but when the Imperial City Command leads the way, they blatantly create such a big guard, which is enough to show that the mentality of the literary family is extraordinary.
The Wen family's horse racing convoy was silent.
If it were traveling in the past, it would have been very lively, but now everyone is careful and dare not say a single word.
Wen Jifu sat in the carriage, staring at the carriage in front of him. It was his father Wen Yanbo's carriage.
He could guess that Wen Yanbo was helpless and had to go to Beijing, but he always believed that there was room for maneuver and he would not go to Beijing.
Entering Beijing is too dangerous!
In addition to him, there was also a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old in Wen Yanbo's carriage.
The boy sat upright, his face was tense, his eyes were not squinting, and he seemed very nervous.
Wen Yanbo's carriage has been specially modified, and it has a thick blanket. In addition, the carriage is walking smoothly, so there are not many bumps.
He closed his eyes and said, "Your sixth father is useless. I tried my best to get him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. When someone investigated the case, he was so scared that he resigned from his post and hid at home and dared not leave. Until now, he doesn't even dare to go back to Kaifeng City."
This is Wen Yanbo's great-grandson, and Wen Jifu is his grandfather.
When the young man heard the great master comment on his eldest father, how dare he speak? He just bent down.
Wen Yanbo was skinny and had few hairs on his head, and his tone was calm and powerful, saying, "Do you think, why should I write a tribute to the Empress Dowager, Sima Guang and others?"
When the young man saw that his great-grandfather was taking the school entrance exam, he did not dare to be careless. He thought about it carefully for a while and said, "That great-grandfather will definitely attract dissatisfaction and attacks from the grandmaster and the reformists, and at the same time, he can gather people's hearts and avoid being alone. Although Feng Cheng could not guess the fundamental reason why his great-grandfather did this, it would definitely not cause dissatisfaction from the official family. Perhaps the official family would support and protect him."
Wen Yanbo opened his eyes and looked quietly at Wen Fengcheng, his great-grandson.
Wen Fengcheng bent and his body trembled slightly.
His great-grandfather was the only one who said that he had a word in the literary house. No one could question or refute it!
Wen Yanbo looked at him for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "You are much smarter than your eldest father. He only cares about his eyes and forgets about the little profits. In history, he is not even as good as Yuan Benchu."
Wen Fengcheng dared not speak any more.
Wen Yanbo looked ahead and said, "The officials wanted me to enter Beijing because they wanted to eliminate party struggles and build a harmonious court, even on the surface. Therefore, I want to win over people as much as possible and let them support the officials. After I arrive in Beijing, I will fully support the officials. Can you understand what I mean?"
Wen Fengcheng thought hard, and Xu Jiangzhang whispered: "Great Grandpa means that the official family and the grandfather are still different."
Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "The son can teach me. Looking at the official family since he ascended the throne, especially after taking power, although he tended to reform, he also had many concerns. Therefore, the suppression of Zhang Dun and others is clearly visible. Next year, Zhang Dun and others will definitely be impatient to implement more new laws, which will inevitably conflict with the official family."
Wen Feng Cheng became more and more aware of it and said happily: "Great Grandpa is wise!"
Wen Yanbo looked at Kaifeng City, smiled and said, "I have lived for a few years. None of your fathers have become good. The traces on your father's generation are too deep. I hope you can become good and support the Wen family."
Wen Fengcheng looked stern and bowed, "Feng Cheng was afraid that he would not be able to bear the expectations of his great-grandfather."
Wen Yanbo waved his hand and said, "I will arrange it."
Wen Fengcheng dared not speak too much, and he was both nervous and excited.
The Wen family's carriage moved forward slowly, and it was very slow, and he was walking on the way to Kaifeng City.
But the news spread by the Wen family was very fast. In a blink of an eye, the news of "Wen Qi's comeback" spread throughout the north and accelerated to the south.
Kaifeng City, Political Affairs Hall.
Zhang Dun was looking at a thick document, which was about the "Marriage Etiquette Law". This was drafted by the Ministry of Rites and related to the beginning and the end of the marriage. Many bad habits were eliminated and the ceremony of the wedding was clearly stipulated.
These are related to people's livelihood and are a thousand-year plan. Zhang Dun takes it seriously.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m old or I’m too tired recently, but Zhang Dun is very slow and very focused.
Pei Yin walked in quietly and saw Zhang Dun lowering his head. Cai Bian was writing quickly, coming closer and waiting quietly.
Cai Bian was distracted and said while writing: "What's the matter?"
Seeing that Zhang Dun was not raising his head, Pei Yin raised his hand and said, "Go back to Mr. Cai, the news of Jiexiu coming, Mr. Wen left Jiexiu and was heading towards Kaifeng. Suddenly, the city spread all over."
Zhang Dun slowly looked up and looked at Pei Yin.
Pei Yin quickly turned to Zhang Dun and said, "The lower-ranking official asked Tongzheng to verify, and Shen Zhongshu was a little vague."
Pei Yin's meaning is very simple. Shen Qi is in charge of Tongzhengsi. If Wen Yanbo wants to enter Beijing, Shen Qi will not know the news. His words are vague, but in fact he is accustomed.
Cai Bian put down his pen and looked solemn.
Wen Yanbo's qualifications are too high, even higher than Sima Guang and others. After living for so long, in addition to his qualifications, the huge network of relationships cannot be ignored. Disciples, former officials, in-laws, etc., such as the Wen family, Bao Zheng, Han Qi, and Fan Zhongyan all have in-laws!
If Wen Yanbo enters Beijing and becomes prime minister again, he may quickly gather a large number of people. Wang Cun and others forcefully pull it up, which is incomparable to Wen Yanbo!
Cai Bian had a premonition that Kaifeng City was about to fall into a cruel party struggle again. He frowned and looked at Zhang Dun and said, "Is the official angry with you about this?"
Zhang Dun was already sitting upright with a serious expression and said, "Before the imperial guards personally, the official mentioned to me. I didn't take it to heart at that time. I didn't expect it to be Wen Yanbo."
Cai Bian's expression became more and more serious. Before the emperor personally led the army, that was a few months ago.
The official family considered the current court a few months ago. Do you want Wen Yanbo to make a comeback again? What are the plans for this?
Once Wen Yanbo comes, the just-restled chaotic situation will inevitably cause another wave!
"What are you planning?"
Cai Bian looked at Zhang Dun and said in a somewhat resolute tone: "The big thing is coming, Wen Yanbo cannot enter the capital! I will send him personally. If the official family asks for guilt, I will take it down!"
Cai Bian said, and was about to stand up.
Cai Bian is very gentle and not as straightforward as Zhang Dun, but if he really wants to touch his principles, he will show a firm will that is not inferior to Zhang Dun.
Pei Yin lowered his head quietly, not daring to breathe.
