Bian Jing, Jiying Hall.

Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi, Wang Shao, Lu Gong, and Lu Huiqing were all there. Song Shenzong frowned and kept paced around. Wang Anshi and the others were also restless.

After a while of old age, Song Shenzong stopped and asked, "Wang Shao, what's the war ahead?"

"Report to the official family, the situation is grim." Wang Shaowei pondered, and his voice was hoarse: "Yelu Hongji is going to attack in the snow and ice this time to prevent the moat from playing a role. He does not need to bring bulky hole cars, but also bring stone throwing machines and goose cars. As soon as Yelu Ming arrived in Xiongzhou, he attacked with stone throwing machines. After three days and three nights, Xiongzhou City was seriously damaged."

As soon as this news came out, Wang Anshi's brows frowned and he was very anxious. It was difficult to implement the new law. Over the years, his life was very difficult and his pressure was extremely high. The current progress of the war was unfavorable. If Xiongzhou fell, the consequences would be unpredictable. At that time, the opposition would attack in groups, and his life would be even worse. It was possible that he would be dismissed from office and dismissal from prime minister.

He doesn't value this aspect so much, but once he stops the aspect, it means that the reform has died.

Lu Gong raised his eyebrows, but he was silent, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He was a capable opposition leader, and his reputation among the opposition was second only to the one who lived in seclusion in Luoyang. The more unfavorable the border war, the more beneficial it was to the opposition, and their opposition would be stronger.

Lu Huiqing glanced at Wang Anshi, and saw Wang Anshi's anxious look in his eyes. He was happy in his heart, but his face was silent. Lu Huiqing was the second-ranked figure in the reform, second only to Wang Anshi. However, this person had ambitions and had long been determined to take Wang Anshi and replace him. If Wang Anshi had stopped his appearance, this appearance would be his.

"Xiongzhou's strong city can't be defended anymore?" This is an unprecedented severe test in Xiongzhou, and Song Shenzong's confidence is a little shaken.

No one can answer this, even Wang Shao didn't know whether Xiongzhou could be defended. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was depressing and very dull.

"Report to the official family, the border sends a war report." At this moment, Shao Jiu quickly stepped in and submitted the war report.

"Hurry, bring it!" Song Shenzong took two steps at once, met him, grabbed it, and spread it out in a hurry. He was too anxious and his hands trembled slightly.

Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu, Lu Huiqing, Wang Shao, their eyes were wider than those of cows, their necks were stretched long, and they stared at the battle report.

"Bang!"

After reading the battle report, Song Shenzong slapped his right hand heavily on his forehead, making a crisp sound.

"It's over!"

Wang Anshi's heart sank straight down. Song Shenzong's actions must have caused the border war to be extremely unsuccessful.

Wang Shao's heart was pounding. If Xiongzhou was lost, the Central Plains would become in danger, and the old story of the Liao army's attack on the Central Plains would be staged. At that time, even if the Song Dynasty defeated the Liao army, it would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Lu Huiqing was ecstatic. Once this responsibility was held accountable, it would be Wang Anshi's unlucky situation. It was inevitable that Wang Anshi would stop his prestige, and he was one step closer to the prestige. Well, I have to take this opportunity to slander Wang Anshi.

Unfortunately, before he took action, Lu Gongzhu began to impeach Wang Anshi. He saw Lu Gongzhu's red light face, very excited, his voice trembled, and shouted loudly: "Officials, border wars are unfavorable, this is caused by Wang Anshi's implementation of the new law, which harms the country and the people. After the founding of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, the people are safe and the people are prosperous, so why do we need to change it? Wang Anshi has a vilified heart and uses the implementation of the new law to confuse people. Heaven is angry and people are resentful, and strange disasters are brought to heaven, and the people suffer, causing empty defenses on the border and Liao invasion. Officials, the ministers, request to dismiss Wang Anshi, recall Sima Guang, and revive the court. In this way, China can be safe."

His voice was very loud, sharp and sharp. After that, he knelt down with a loud bang, his nose was shattered, and his tears looked heartbroken.

"Officials, the border war has failed, and I am willing to take responsibility." Wang Anshi closed his eyes, sighed, and knelt on the ground to apologize.

"Officials, Wang Xianggong devoted all his energy to the government and should not take charge of state affairs..." Wang Shao knelt down and pleaded for Wang Anshi.

"Although Wang Xianggong was a little impatient, he was also asking the officials not to punish him heavily." Lu Huiqing's words were written and sentenced to prepare for his position. There was no need to punish him as a heavy punishment. He just needed to make Wang Anshi's position.

However, what they could not imagine was that Song Shenzong looked them for a while, suddenly raised his head to the sky, laughing loudly, and his laughter was very comfortable.

"This... the official family, why are you laughing?" Lu Gongzao felt something was wrong and hurriedly spoke up to ask.

"Lu Gong, you really have a delicate heart, and you won't miss any opportunity." Song Shenzong stared at Lu Gong, with divine lights shining in his eyes. Lu Gong Gong felt like a sharp sword was sucking the heart. Song Shenzong threw the battle report at him and sneered: "Lu Gong, you can take a look for it yourself."

Lu Gong took over the battle report, looked it through, his hands trembled, his mouth widened, and he became petrified. He couldn't even speak, and he didn't even notice the battle report.

"Hmph!" Song Shenzong snorted coldly and said, "You all think that the border war is not good, right? I tell you that the border war is not bad, it is very smooth, much smoother than you imagined!"

"smoothly?"

Wang Anshi and the others were all confused, and everyone was confused. So: "Officials, where do you start with this?"

"Wang Shao, you are so forgetful. Have you forgotten that I want Zhou Wei to buy the sword of the enemy from Wu Ji? Zhou Wei bought thousands of soldiers, and the Liao dog rushed to the head of Xiongzhou City, all of which were killed. Not only did they kill them, Zhou Wei also threw the heads under the city and demonstrated to Liao Dog. With the sword of the enemy, Liao Dog rushed to the group and died, and the heads under the city were filled with people!" Song Shenzong became more and more excited as he spoke. After speaking, he could no longer suppress his excitement, he looked up at the sky, and laughed: "Haha! What a sword of the enemy! What a sword of the enemy! How much Wu Ji!"

It turned out to be a great news. Everyone's anxiety was wiped out and they couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Wang Anshi's frown spread out. Wang Shao let out a long sigh and couldn't help but complain: "Officials, you are so good at teasing the jesters."

Wang Shao is a favorite general of Song Shenzong, and he is straightforward. When he thought of it, he said that Song Shenzong had no intention of blaming him: "Wang Shao, this matter is beyond my expectations. I was surprised. Is there anything wrong? Who told you to be self-righteous!"

"Haha!" Song Shenzong's words were full of joy, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Mr. Lu knelt on the ground, laughing, not laughing, not laughing, and finally he had to laugh a few times with him, which was even worse than crying.

"Mr. Lu, don't do this again! If there is a next time, hum, I won't let it go!" Song Shenzong looked stern and his tone was extremely tough.

"Thank you, thank you! I know you are guilty, I know you are guilty!" Mr. Lu hurriedly confessed his guilt, and his cold sweat dripped.

Henan Prefecture is now Luoyang. There are many houses and a large garden in a mansion, where many strange flowers and flowers are planted. Although it is the cold winter season, the plum blossoms spit out and the garden is full of plum blossoms.

A young man in his twenties walked quickly with a happy look on his face. He came to a house, opened the door, stepped in, and shouted loudly: "Dad, happy event, happy event, great event!"

The sound is extremely high, a little sharp and harsh, and the eyes are radiating.

This is a study room, with books piled up in the room, and a desk with thick books. A middle-aged man was very handsome, with bright and clear eyes. He was not wearing silk and satin, but wearing a blue dress, simple and simple, but a graceful spirit came out of his body and was unstoppable.

This person was the famous Sima Guang, holding a high-end wolf pen in his hand, and was writing on the paper. After hearing the young man's shouting, he did not raise his head, but asked lightly: "Kang'er, why are you happy?"

"Dad, it's a great joy. The border war is not good, and Xiongzhou is hard to protect. Liaogou used a stone throwing machine to bomb Xiongzhou for three days and three nights. There are countless people in the city who were smashed. The bed crossbow and the stone throwing machine are destroyed. If Liaogou climbs to the top of the city, it is hard to say whether Xiongzhou can be defended." This young man is Sima Guang's son, Sima Kang, and his voice turned high: "The border war is not good, and Wang Xianggong's position is difficult to protect. The new law is about to die, and Dad has a chance to re-exert."

Sima Guang was the leader of the opposition and was the most powerful opposition to the new law. However, on the surface, he pretended to be for the country and the people, and hid at his home in Luoyang and wrote the "Zizhi Tongjian" to attract honor.

Sima Guang in history was shocking in opposition to the new laws. Su Shi once said that some new laws were good and could be used. But he didn't care. As long as it was promoted by Wang Anshi, he would be ruined. Even Wang Shao's military achievements such as Xihe were transformed into spending countless money and food, which harmed the country and the people. Wang Shao was dismissed from office and eventually lost his life.

"Kang'er, you are still too young and too young." Sima Guang stopped the pen in his hand and then wrote his "Zizhi Tongjian", without the following text.

"Dad, Xiongzhou is important. Once Xiongzhou is lost, the Central Plains will open, and it will be a matter of time before the Liao Kingdom can enter. Isn't this a good opportunity for Dad to return? Dad, you have to prepare early." Sima Kang was a little dissatisfied.

Sima Guang wrote quickly without pausing: "Kang'er, I want to come out for my father, but it's not at this time..."

"Dad, then when will you come back?" Sima Kang asked anxiously.

"Being a father naturally requires the imperial edicts of the official family to be followed one by one. Being a father has to refuse again and again until he had no choice but to become an official. This is called "Sima Guang was very cunning."

"It's time to come out after a long call?" Sima Kang savored, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and he praised: "Dad, you are still smart."

"Your Majesty, you're not much time left." Sima Guang smiled and continued to write.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. A family member came in, muttered a few words in Sima Kang's ear, and quickly retreated. Sima Kang's face changed and looked in disbelief.

"Kang'er, when did you panic?" Sima Guang still did not look up.

"Dad, Mr. Lu sent a message saying that the battle in Xiongzhou was very smooth and unexpectedly smooth." Sima Kang took a breath, calmed down his mind, and hurriedly reported.

"Smooth? Yelu Hongji has done something bad, can it go smoothly?" Sima Guang finally raised his head and stopped writing.

Sima Kang hurriedly said, "Dad, this is the thing. A person from the north recently named Wu Ji. This person is good at creating powerful tools..." Sima Kang told the news he got.

"Bang!"
