The old man's aura was very powerful. Although he did not attack Zhu Tianming,
But Zhu Tianming couldn't see through the vast and unfathomable cultivation level, and the pressure was huge.
"As expected of Bianjing, the imperial city of the Song Dynasty, it is home to crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and countless people with high levels of cultivation."
The old man was quite reasonable and did not hit anyone directly. The more reason may be that fighting is not allowed in the imperial city.
Zhu Tianming put aside this grudge for the time being. With Zhao Mingcheng's attitude, he probably hated himself as well.
In history, Zhao Mingcheng was the one who abandoned the people of a city and fled alone. He was ridiculed by Li Qingzhao to the point where he couldn't even utter nonsense.
As a prefect, he was able to abandon the city and escape alone, which was a shame in the Song Dynasty.
Li Qingzhao's most famous saying, "He was born as a hero, but died as a ghost" was a mockery of him.
Zhu Tianming returned to his courtyard and began to write a letter of visit, and the incident between him and Zhao Mingcheng spread like wildfire.
While writing, Zhu Tianming was thinking that Shen Kuo seemed to be a reformist, and he couldn't bear to see Li Gefei getting too close to the King of Jin, so he was expelled from the Qintian Prison.
As for Qin Jiushao and others, they are also those who support reform.
As for who to visit first?
It must be Wang Anshi, or Fan Zhongyan.
Zhu Tianming wrote a visit note and personally delivered it to Wang Anshi's residence.
The servant did not look down on others and was very polite. Zhu Tianming was afraid that he would randomly reveal his identity and secretly gave the servant 10 spiritual crystal coins.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected by the servant.
Given Wang Anshi's character, the servant's character is quite normal.
Wang Anshi was poor all his life. Some people gave him concubines, but he didn't want them, let alone some money.
Three days later, Wang Anshi had time to meet Zhu Tianming.
The residence of Wang Anshi, the Minister of Hubu, has only a few rooms and is very simple, which is seriously inconsistent with his status as the Minister of Hubu.
I saw Wang Anshi with snowy hair and frosty hair on her temples, but she also had fair hair and a childish face, bright eyes, and a handsome demeanor.
Zhu Tianming was the first to speak:
"The underachieving student Zhu Tianming pays homage to Mr. Wang."
Wang Anshi's voice was steady and powerful, and he said:
"No need to be polite, I have heard Yang Jiye talk about you a long time ago. Let's go to the study and talk later."
The two entered the study. The study was not big, but it was rich in books. There was a screen, but it was difficult to detect behind the screen.
There are restrictions on the screen, and spiritual consciousness cannot detect it at all.
Wang Anshi motioned to Zhu Tianming to sit down. Zhu Tianming just sat down and wanted to say something.
Wang Anshi said:
"I already know your purpose of coming. At the beginning, the imperial court thought that no stranger would receive more than 8 million meritorious service. Unexpectedly, you suddenly emerged and gained such military exploits. You also killed Zhu Wu. You really contributed to the imperial court.
The court is still arguing about your title of marquis, but generally they agree to grant you the title of marquis. However, the fiefdom and whether you have the right to open a palace and build a tooth are still being discussed. "
Hearing what Wang Anshi said, Zhu Tianming secretly thought that it was similar to what he had guessed, so he said:
"Excuse me, Mr. Wang, do you know what the imperial court said about fiefdoms and opening mansions?"
It is necessary to find out clearly who supports and who does not support.
Those who do not support must find ways to deal with it, and generous gifts must be prepared.
If it really doesn't work, it will count as a success if it becomes neutral. If it doesn't work, it will be an enemy.
For those who support, we must visit them one by one and give them generous gifts.
There must be no favoritism between each other. Those who support are Zhu Tianming's staunch allies.
If you give generous gifts to those who don’t support it, but if you don’t give it to those who support it, what will the people who support it think?
Wang Anshi saw clearly what Zhu Tianming was thinking at a glance and said:
"There are often wars on the borders of the Song Dynasty. Even if the generals fight hard, they are still unable to stop them.
So what we reformists mean is to send you to the great city of Jiyun in the north.
Joined forces with Yang Jiye, Xin Qiji, Di Qing and other generals to fight against the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. "
When Zhu Tianming heard this, he finally understood what Wang Anshi meant.
The reformists wanted to have the support of an outside general, while the conservative opposition did not want the reformists to have another supporter, so they were basically divided into two factions.
A big city, even a first-class city, even in the north, has a population of more than 300,000.
Moreover, the people in the north are strong and have better military resources, which is more conducive to collecting refugees.
If we can build a palace, a first-class city with various taxes and income will definitely be more than enough to support 10,000 cavalry.
What's more, we need to be on guard against the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. The imperial court will definitely increase its troops here.
When the time comes to cooperate with the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation, maybe with various means, the powerful people in the Nascent Soul stage can fight.
Zhu Tianming got a little excited when he thought of this.
Zhu Tianming only heard Wang Anshi say again:
"Don't have any other ideas. If you get on the reformist ship and you can't get off, you are destined to be a thorn in the side of the noble emperor and a thorn in the flesh."
Zhu Tianming said with a smile:
"For the future of the Song Dynasty, the last general dare not not try his best. Even if it is a sea of swords and fire, the last general will not hesitate to die."
Wang Anshi ignored Zhu Tianming, with a thin face, a dark complexion, and a pair of bright eyes under the light white eyebrows, and said in a deep voice:
"We will try our best to get you the right to open a palace and establish teeth. However, during the war, if you escape without fighting, or do not try your best, or disgrace your faction, the main department will definitely capture you alive, and then pass the news to Xiao Jiu close."
Wang Anshi spoke one word at a time, and his powerful cultivation went straight towards Zhu Tianming's soul. Under this huge spiritual power, Zhu Tianming's sea of consciousness was like a small boat in the sea, which shocked Zhu Tianming.
Wang Anshi was obviously knocking Zhu Tianming.
Zhu Tianming came back to his senses and said quickly:
"If you dare not try your best, you will die for the Song Dynasty."
"Well! I heard that you offended Zhao Tingzhi's son Zhao Mingcheng?"
Wang Anshi seemed to have thought of something and asked.
Zhu Tianming truthfully told what happened. Wang Anshi was overjoyed when he heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said suddenly:
"This is an entry point. If you find an opportunity to beat up Zhao Mingcheng, and then spread the news that you want to marry Li Qingzhao, then you may be half successful in banishing him to the big city of Ji'an."
Zhu Tianming slowly typed out a few questions, "What are you doing? My father is the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he has a huge power with the support of the King of Jin. Doesn't this make me want to die?"
The marriage between Li Gefei and Zhao Ting was a powerful combination, so why did Zhu Tianming get involved?
"Master Wang, the last general is just a baron. Commander, I'm afraid it's not right to marry Miss Li Qingzhao. And it offended them to death, I..., and I took advantage of a woman's feelings, I...,"
Wang Anshi said:
"Don't worry, I'm not really asking you to pursue Li Qingzhao. It's just to confuse the public. Of course, if you have the ability to pursue Li Qingzhao, the headquarters will have nothing to say."
Zhu Tianming:….
Zhu Tianming asked:
"Sir, could you tell me your plan? I'm a little worried."
Wang Anshi squinted at Zhu Tianming, pondered for a while, and said:
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. I believe you are not that stupid to spread the word everywhere."
