Chapter 812 Nine Levels of Advance and Retreat (13)

The plum blossoms have faded, and the peaches and apricots are in full bloom. When the spring breeze dances in Luoyang City, a short letter is placed in front of Fu Bi.

There were only a few cursive characters on the gold-plated paper made by the imperial powder paper. Judging from the content, it was just a poetry and wine party, and Fu Bi was invited to attend the meeting in the name of Qiying.

Fu Bi can receive similar invitations every year. As a former prime minister, there are several senior officials in the country, and his status and identity make him the most popular guest. However, Fu Bi nodded and agreed very few times. After reading them once, he asked his son Fu Shaoting to write a polite replies.

However, this time, the initiator was Fu Bi's old friend. Wen Yanbo, who had recently taken office in Luoyang, recently - "Anyone who admires Lotte, because of his high ambition and elegant ambition, must have been attacked by the earth." He said that he wanted to inherit Bai Juyi Bai Lotte's ambition to retreat to Luoyang, set up the Jiu Laohui to wander in the forest, and set up the Elderly Association today.

"Wen Kuanfu is really happy. The five elders gathered and the Jia Jia meeting was held. Today I finally remembered to find a father." Fu Bi threw away the several cases in front of Wen Yanbo's letter, looked up at his son standing in front of him, and asked like an exam, "What do you think, is he thinking?"

Fu Shaoting opened his mouth and whispered for a long time, but couldn't speak. Since his father asked this, it means that Wen Yanbo's actions must have a profound meaning, but he couldn't figure out where the profound meaning was.

After a while, he said without any confidence: "The five elders will have Fan Jingren [Fan Zhen], Zhang Zhongxun [Zhang Zongyi], Zhang Changyan [Zhang Wen], Shi Zixi [Shi Xu], and Sima Bokang [Sima Dan], Cheng Bowen [Cheng Su] and Xi Juncong [Xi Ruyan], are all old ministers who oppose the new law. They have reputations in Xijingguang, and may have the will of the people to impress the emperor."

"I have been driven out of Tokyo, what is the reputation of Xijing? I have been moved to the emperor for a long time." His son was only a master, and he was barely a guardian dog. He was definitely not a dragon and tiger. When Fu Bi heard the answer, he didn't even have the strength to be disappointed. He glanced at Fu Shaoting, who was thinking hard and blushed: "Wen Kuanfu is a newcomer, so he is looking for some people to promote his reputation and plans to compete with his father."

Fu Shaoting was a little surprised and felt unbelievable. But Fu Bi knew Wen Yanbo very well and did not think he had wronged Wen Yanbo.

Before Wen Yanbo came to Luoyang, Fu Bi was definitely the first among the old ministers in Xijing, but when Wen Yanbo came, he would have to compete for the first and second.

Fu Bi sneered. He has been in Luoyang for several years, but he has never played this one. There are also poetry shows, but he never thought of creating a name.

Wen Yanbo was interesting. After taking office, he recruited several retired officials to serve as the Five Elders Association. In the same club, the elders and older officials with some reputation in Luoyang were invited by him, and he left him outside. Until everyone invited him, he brought the victory to invite him.

"Five elders invited Fan Jingren, Zhang Zhongxun, Zhang Changyan, and Shi Zixi, all lived in Luoyang for a long time. Two days ago, at the Tongjia Association, he invited Sima Shier's brother and Ercheng's Laozi, and that Xi Jun was a big shot." Fu Bi counted one by one, "Now that we want to hold the Qiying Association, we have become Shangchi but not Shangguan. Based on the preface, the people invited before were all considered as the eldest father, sent favors, and hopes. This set is done in all aspects, and it is worthy of being Wen Kuanfu."

Finally, he raised his beard and laughed, "'The old scholar and lady of Xidu, who stayed in the old age, stayed at the Lord's house for a long time.' The emperor spared no effort to chase after him.' He was in Luoyang, and was willing to take the pill to get on the bus.' Wen Kuanfu and Shi also said sour words. Do you think he would still hope to make a comeback?"

"The old scholar and lady in the Western Capital stood for the Duke in her old age"; "I am in the heart of the Wei Que in Luoyang, and I am willing to take the pills to get on the bus." Fu Shaoting is not a ignorant person. These two sentences come from Wen Yanbo's transfer to Henan Prefecture in Xijing last year. When he left Beijing to bid farewell, the emperor's poem and his own rebate.

The two poems look like the monarch and ministers are accompanied by the emperor. Wen Yanbo for being loyal and dedicated to the four cycles, and the three dynasties have heard of the hope. The people of Xijing are looking forward to it. Wen Yanbo's poem uses "There is ambition and talent in the time of Kang to be short, and the skills of serving the country are misleading" to express his modesty, and uses the two sentences "I am in Luoyang" to express his reluctance to the emperor.

But as long as you think deeply, the emperor can't wait to drive people away, while Wen Yanbo was reluctant to vomit sour water. Between singing and singing, it can be seen that Wen Yanbo's heart is still in the court.

At present, banquets and poetry meetings are held in Luoyang City. Bai Juyi's Jiu Lao Club is in front of the world, but Wen Yan is knowledgeable, but it makes people feel effective.

Hearing that his father's words did not hide his sarcasm, he dug up Wen Yanbo's little thoughts and hung them in the sun. Fu Shaoting asked carefully, "Does he want to turn them off?"

"Turn it? Why should I push it?" Fu Bi slapped his couch and asked his son, "Of course I have to go! It's a rare good time for spring flowers to bloom. I don't know how many times I can go? But I have to invite him Wen Kuanfu to come. The first time of the Qiyinghui was blooming in the garden at home. These two days happened to be the beautiful peach and apricot blossoms by Yilan Pavilion, and there were willows in the wind, but it was a good time to watch the flowers and drink." He patted his legs and feet, "This leg cannot walk far, so it's still convenient to be at home."

After Fu Bi finished speaking, he looked up at his son again. Fu Shaoting was nodding in a hurry and said yes. The old prime minister sighed helplessly. Even observing his words and expressions was so slow. He would definitely be bullied when he entered the court. That is, he would win because he was honest and would not bully his tribe. He would still be successful in keeping his family business.

With regret and loneliness in his heart, Fu Bi raised his voice, "I haven't called someone to come and write a reply for my father."

………………………………………

Wen Yanbo was transferred to Luoyang at the end of last year and sentenced to Henan Prefecture and Xijing to remain in charge.

From the time of receiving this appointment, Wen Yanbo knew that today he would not recruit him to work in the court.

As early as when Zi ascended the throne today, Wen Yanbo opposed any war to expand territory. The wild land was useless and had to waste money and food. No matter how defeated, as long as a small victory could make Wang Anshi consolidate his power. Therefore, Wen Yanbo did not like any minister who was ambitious to explore.

But now the official army has won consecutive battles, destroyed Jiaozhi in the south, conquered the southwestern Yi, and forced Xixia to breathe in the north, making the Liao Kingdom very afraid.

In the Shilin and court, the undercurrent of promoting the pacification of the Western Xia and the recovery of Yanyun has gradually become the mainstream. Even among the poems and essays that have recently spread in the world, more and more people prefer to use martial arts and promote martial arts in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for anti-warmen like Wen Yanbo to continue to stay in Beijing, take charge of Daming Prefecture, and participate in Hebei's defense. As long as he is still in Daming Prefecture, it is the biggest stumbling block to reorganizing Hebei's military strength.

It is impossible to transfer to Hedong, Shaanxi, and that is also an obstacle. As Wen Yanbo's identity, he cannot transfer to the south, because it is even more derogatory and will cause trouble. Therefore, Xijing, a retirement place, is the best choice.

Wen Yanbo grasped the emperor's thoughts very well. But if he wanted to cater to the emperor's ideas, Wen Yanbo would rather die than do it. Even if he was transferred to Xijing, he would never regret it. He would rather find some old guys who he did not look at when he was prime minister, and a few veterans and important officials, join in the fun and write a few poems to gain a reputation for being romantic in poetry and wine, and never bow to Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing.

Fu Bi's reply arrived very quickly, claiming that he had an old disease on his feet and was not convenient to go out at will, so he begged to set up the first venue of the Qiying Club in the garden of Fu's family.

Wen Yanbo read Fu Bi's reply two or three times, finally put it down and smiled at his son Wen Ji Fu, "It's a pity that it's not July and August. I heard that Fu Yan's country has independent trumpets, and it doesn't attach to other trees and becomes independent. Now it's early spring, and I can't enjoy the favor."

Wen Jifu echoed and said, "My son saw it when he went to the rich house a few days ago. All the trumpet flowers in the world are born with trees. Only the trumpet flowers in the rich house are as high as several times and become trees independently. It is really rare to see them."

After hearing this, Wen Yanbo moved his eyebrows. It would be great if there was a son who could ask questions and answers by his side.

When the Song Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, they usually encouraged their sons to stay by their parents to take care of them and were willing to provide assistance. Just like Wang Bang followed Wang Anshi to Jiangning, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi left one or two sons by their side, and Han Qi was also the same. But the sons who followed were all mediocre people, and their own sons were even more proof.

"The trumpet is a small matter." Wen Yanbo had forgotten what he said just now, "It is a rare event for Fu Yanguo to be willing to attend the meeting. A promising father and Fu Yanguo should everyone be willing to attend the meeting." Wen Yanbo sighed again: "Sima Jun is actually a good candidate, but he is less than 60 years old. I have no idea to ask him."

"Sima Junshi's book should have been verified until the late Tang Dynasty, and he will probably end soon." Wen Jifu had nothing to say, "I heard that Han Gang is coming to Jingxi, and I want to come to Cheng Bochun, and Uncle Cheng must be ecstatic."

"Han Gang!" Wen Yanbo didn't like to hear this name, but his son Wen Jifu was not wrong.

Although Han Gang was Zhang Zai's private disciple, Han Gang also held disciple etiquette in the Cheng family. The etiquette never stopped during the holidays, let alone standing in the snow in front of the house for a whole hour, and respecting teachers and Taoism has long been well-known in the world. Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi were of course happy to see students who had served as fortune envoys to work in western Beijing.
