"Kang'er, what's new lately?"

Sima Guang was lying on the bed, looking very bad, because the sores on his feet caused an abscess, which stretched from the front heel to the back heel, and his entire foot could not touch the ground, so he could only lie on his back. Sima Kang, Sima Guang's adopted son, went to the hospital's doctor to treat it, but it did not recover. Instead, it became more and more serious. Recently, the hospital's doctor even said that Sima's husband might not have much time left.

Although Sima Kang was just Sima Guang's adopted son, they were actually very close to each other. He was the son of Sima Guang's brother. In this era, the meaning of adopted son was not much different from that of his biological child. Sima Kang's feelings for Sima Guang were real, so he heard that Sima Guang had not had much time, so his tears almost fell on the spot. After the doctor left, Sima Kang took care of Sima Guang very thoughtfully and served him at all times.

When Sima Guang asked, Sima Kang was stunned and said, "I haven't been out for so long and don't know what's going on outside..."

Sima Guang's face showed some disappointment, Sima Kang felt ache, and then suddenly remembered and said, "I heard that Anshi Gong has entered Beijing recently."

Sima Guang's eyes lit up: "That stubborn guy is finally back?"

Sima Kang nodded: "Does my father want to see him?"

Sima Guang nodded: "Well, please write a post for your father and hand it over, and ask him to give him some time to visit him for your father."

Sima Kang was stunned: "Father, your body?"

Sima Guang shook his head: "It's just that my feet hurt. Just ask someone to carry it over. There is no big problem."

Sima Kang's tears were about to come out immediately. He quickly lowered his head and nodded: "Okay, father, I'll go immediately."

Sima Kang stumbled and ran out, crossed the two yards, and then burst into tears.

It turned out that he did not inform Sima Guang of the actual condition. Sima Guang thought that he had only feet hurt. He had foot pain before, but he did not expect that this time he was infected and even the medical school students who learned to deal with poisonous sores could not handle it. So Sima Guang thought that he was just feet hurt, but he did not expect that he was terminally ill.

Sima Kang was inexplicably sad, so he burst into tears. After crying for a while, Sima Kang calmed down his mood.

Sima Guang must not be able to move anymore. Now he can still live a while while lying down. If he moves, he will probably die in an instant.

Sima Kang thought about it and decided to ask to see Wang Anshi. Since his father could not move, he would invite Wang Anshi to see his father. If the mountain does not come, I will go to save the mountain!

Sima Kang did what he said, and quickly arranged someone to help him watch Sima Guang. He quickly wrote a letter of worship and hurried to Wang Anshi's former residence.

This rule is all default. Most officials who surrendered to the Song Dynasty gave them back to their former houses. Even if they were already inhabited, most of them would be persuaded to return the house to their original owners.

Of course, the rich original owner might have lived in a better house, but Sima Kang knew that Wang Anshi was not a rich man, and should have more feelings for the old house, so it is highly likely that he would be in the original house.

Sure enough, the house had indeed been given back to Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi did settle in this house, but Wang Anshi went out. It is said that he had gone to visit friends and might not have come back so early. Sima Kang was determined to wait outside, saying that he would wait for Mr. Anshi to come back.

It was at night when Wang Anshi came back with a smell of alcohol. It turned out that he was invited to drink. It was not someone else who invited him to drink, but Lu Huiqing. With his temperament, if ordinary people invited him, he would not go. As his most capable assistant back then, Lu Huiqing could still invite him.

Wang Anshi's carriage returned to the front of the house. As soon as he got off the car, someone thumped in front of the car.

Wang Anshi was also dizzy and could not tell who it was - but it was normal. He didn't recognize who Sima Kang was.

The disciple came over quickly and told Wang Anshi: "This person is the son of Sima Gong, named Sima Kang."

Wang Anshi suddenly realized and quickly said, "Why do you want Master Sima to wait outside? Please come inside quickly."

The doormen quickly invited Sima Kang inside, while Wang Anshi went to apply a hot towel and came over after he woke up a little.

Sima Kang saw Wang Anshi again, and knelt down on the ground again, and said wailingly: "I beg Mr. Anshi to see my father!"

Wang Anshi was surprised and said, "What happened?"

Sima Kang then told Sima Guang about his foot disease and truthfully told the doctor: "The doctor in the hospital has failed to treat it. The doctor told us that we are preparing for the funeral. Now my father is dying. Today, when asked about Mr. An Shi, he also said that he would come to visit Mr. An Shi tomorrow, but my father could still move now. Therefore, my nephew thought of asking Mr. An Shi to take some time to meet his father, which was also fulfilling his wish."

Wang Anshi looked solemn, turned his head and shouted to the butler outside: "Prepare the car and prepare to set off."

Sima Kang was overjoyed: "Please follow my nephew."

Wang Anshi nodded and followed Sima Kang with great strides. Although his steps were a little staggering, his steps were quite firm.

...

There was a strong smell of medicine in Sima Guang's room, and the lights were dim. When he was sick for a long time, Sima Guang's eyes could not stand the strong light, so he only lit a small lamp inside. Sima Guang occasionally moaned, making the whole room look very depressing and a little terrifying.

Wang Anshi stepped in without hesitation.

Sima Guang seemed to notice something and was about to get up while struggling. Wang Anshi quickly pressed Sima Guang's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Brother Junshi, just lie down and talk."

Sima Guang's eyes lit up: "Is it Brother Jiefu?"

Wang Anshi sighed and said, "Brother Junshi, it's Jiefu. Can't you see me?"

Sima Guang shook his head, but his face was full of smiles: "Yes, I can't see it. These eyes are afraid of the wind and the light, so I have never seen anyone. Fortunately, the ears are still useful and can say a few foolish words, which is quite good."

Wang Anshi recalled the past. When he was in power, Sima Guang was in the position of supervisors most of the time and often criticized his policies. Especially later, he was even more merciless. He made himself very angry at that time, and sometimes he wanted to chop off the annoying Sima Niu.

But as time went on, he himself left the wild and lived in seclusion, so he had time to think about some things slowly. The subsequent changes of Ouyang Bian and the inspiration given by the changes of Zhao Xu and Cai Jing did make him realize that there were indeed many inappropriate aspects in his own methods of change, so he felt much less resentful towards Sima Guang.

He originally wanted to make up his past grudges with Sima Guang, but Sima Guang was detained by Xixia after he was sent to Xixia and could not contact him anymore, so he delayed this matter.

When he came back this time, he originally wanted to find time to visit Sima Guang, but this time he came back, there were indeed many social events and other matters, and he could not refuse. For example, Ouyang Bian's banquet, Lu Huiqing's banquet, Su Che and others' banquet, these are not the reasons for the high position and power of the invited people, but the fact that these people were his assistants during the past reforms, old friends, and this kind of affection was always given.

So I postponed this matter. But when I looked back, I found that Sima Guang was already terminally ill. This side tonight was the last side of the two people they had been entangled with for many years. Thinking of this, Wang Anshi couldn't help but feel sad.

"Brother Junshi... I have thought a lot over the years, and I remembered your past encouragement to me. At that time, I thought you were targeting me, but then I felt that Brother Junshi was also for the sake of loyalty and patriotism, and for my goodness, so that my policies would not harm the people. But I didn't think of this back then, but I had a great misunderstanding of Brother Junshi. Now I think about it, I feel very ashamed!"

Sima Guang widened his eyes, but there was no focus in his eyes: "Brother Jiefu, what are you doing? Someone should apologize. Your policy today seems to be a way to save the country. Look at your disciple, the Majesty of Daxia, how good he did. Isn't his change just following your thoughts? Now that the Daxia country is unifying the world, the national strength is booming, and the people are happy and healthy. This is all thanks to your teachings. On the contrary, because of my obstruction back then, your change has not saved the Song Dynasty. Speaking of which, after all, he is still ashamed of Renzong's expectations for someone back then!"

Wang Anshi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sima Guang seemed to be ill and confused. His reform ideas were not in line with Ouyang Bian's reform ideas. It was obviously completely different. Ouyang Bian's reform ideas started from the people, but his own reform ideas were mainly to enrich the country. The same thing is that Ouyang Bian not only achieved prosperity but also to strengthen the country, and his own policies only had the function of a strong country.

However, this matter doesn't need to be argued with Sima Guang too much at this time.

"Brother Junshi, you have been in the Daxia Dynasty. How do you evaluate Ji Mo's various policies?"

Sima Guang smiled and said, "Does Brother Jiefu not have his own judgment?"

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly: "Of course there is, but the more I understand, the less I can't believe my opinion, so I just asked this question."

Sima Guang said oh, and there was curiosity inside: "What did Brother Jiefu say?"

Wang Anshi said: "I look at the policies of Daxia. There are many policies that benefit the country and the people. Most of them are policies that benefit the country and the people. They are extremely rigorous. From formulating policies to implementing policies, the procedures in them are impeccable. This is nothing. Ji Mo has always been good at these, and the policies formulated will definitely be implemented to the end. In the past, some people stifled Ji Mo's policies due to their own interests, but now no one can stop his changes.

I was curious that I seemed to see a main line hidden in these policies, and it seemed that all the changes were working for a certain goal..."

Sima Guang smiled and said, "Of course it is to enrich the country, strengthen the army and benefit the people."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "This is the fundamental purpose. Before reaching the fundamental purpose, it seems that it is promoting a greater change. I don't know what this change is, but so many policy preparations are only for serving such a goal. The grand goal is probably beyond our expectations, but I don't know what Ji Mo wants to achieve. What does Brother Junshi know?"

Sima Guang frowned. Although his eyes could no longer see very well, he still revealed a wise light.

He said slowly: "...What you said may be about a document. This document has not been formally discussed. I have heard someone say that it seems that it is still collecting opinions. This document is likely to be the object of the preparations of these documents before..."

Wang Anshi couldn't wait to say, "What kind of document is it?"

Sima Guangdao: "【Industrial Revolution 1.0】."

“【Industrial Revolution 1.0】…”

Wang Anshi repeated it.

Sima Guang nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's right, Brother Jiefu can come and have some inspiration."

Wang Anshi nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look when I go back..."

Wang Anshi suddenly fell into silence because except for these, he didn't know what to say. He was never a person who could talk casually. He was good at debate, but he was not good at nonsense. So today he came to ask about political affairs instead of casual conversation. However, as soon as the political affairs were finished, he didn't know what to say.

Although Sima Guang could not see Wang Anshi's expression, he could still feel Wang Anshi's embarrassment. Although his body was in pain, he still couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ha...haha...hahaha...Brother Jiefu, you are still so cute! Hahahaha, why didn't I notice it before? I kept saying that Jiefu is a clever husband and can't listen to the advice, hahahahaha..."

Wang Anshi was embarrassed by Sima Guang's laughter. Just as he was about to defend himself, he found that Sima Guang's laughter suddenly stopped, and the sound was lingering, but there was no sound below. Wang Anshi was shocked and quickly shouted: "Brother Junshi!"

Sima Guang did not respond. Wang Anshi quickly put his finger under Sima Guang's nose, and there was no breath. Wang Anshi paused in his heart, and then reached out to touch Sima Guang's chest. There was no heartbeat. Wang Anshi sighed deeply.

"Come here...you master is back!"

Wang Anshi shouted.

The door was opened, Sima Kang's face was covered in tears, and he threw himself on the head of the bed and knelt down, and started to cry. After a while, the room was already full of people.

Although Sima Guang had no children, after adopting Sima Kang, Sima Kang married his wife, took concubines and gave birth to children, and now he is full of people.

Wang Anshi sighed and stepped aside. He felt a little comfort in the presence of some filial sons and grandsons in front of Sima Guang's bed. He suddenly felt a little cool on his face. When he touched it with his hands, he found that two lines of clear tears had already slipped down.

well!

Sima Niu will no longer be seen in the world!
