After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

"Do you intend to submit this ten-thousand-word petition next year?"

Inside the Wang family study, Wang Jiefu stared at Han Ming who was leisurely sipping tea and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Originally, I wanted to do it before the end of the year, but after submitting this, I think it will be difficult to resolve the matter. Plus, since we just returned to the capital, I want to spend more time with my family."

Han Ming said in a deep voice.

"Then I'll do it!" Wang Jiefu immediately slammed the table and said.

"It's best not to. You previously resigned from your post and returned home without permission, and followed me south to quell the rebellion. This has already incurred the emperor's taboo. Now it's best for you not to act rashly."

Han Ming gently reminded the other party to pay attention.

"But if you are demoted and sent away, there will be no one else in the court who can support me."

Wang Jiefu looked at Han Ming with some concern.

"No need." Han Ming stared at Wang Jiefu, his voice becoming lower and lower.

"The emperor is old now, and he will never let us do this at this time."

Han Ming's words have two meanings. One is that Emperor Renzong was in poor health and would not promote national reforms in his later years and cause turmoil.

Another thing is that the most important thing for Emperor Renzong now is the issue of succession, not the future of the Song Dynasty.

"Since you know the emperor's intentions, why are you so impatient?" Wang Jiefu felt that he couldn't understand Han Ming's actions.

"I did this for two reasons. First, I wanted to test whether there is a strong desire for reform within the court."

Han Ming was thinking of the fact that according to later records, when Wang Jiefu was carrying out reforms, his grandfather and a large number of representatives of the Qingli New Deal opposed it.

"You are afraid of the Grand Master and the others..." Wang Jiefu said cautiously.

"So I don't suggest that you submit it. If I do, the emperor will be kind to me and won't criticize me."

"On the other hand, Grandfather and Mr. Fu will not blame me too much."

Han Ming's analysis made Wang Jiefu nod slightly, indicating that he agreed with his statement.

"What's the other thought?" Wang Jiefu asked proactively.

"Establish a crown prince!"

"Establish a crown prince?!" Wang Jiefu's eyes flashed with thought.

"Now the emperor values ​​me and favors me, it is nothing more than to pave the way for the future. I have a feeling that I will soon be granted an official position in the Eastern Palace."

Han Ming looked at Wang Jiefu with burning eyes and told him everything he was most worried about.

"Are you worried that the conflict between Prince Yong and Prince Yan will cause chaos in the government?" Wang Jiefu frowned.

"It's not that I'm worried, but it has already started." Han Ming took a sip of tea to relieve his dry throat.

"Now that the government has gradually handed over sacrificial matters to Prince Yong, the choice for the crown prince is obvious."

"Prince Yan is now forced into a desperate situation. In addition, the enemy holds part of the imperial city's troops and horses. In the future, he will inevitably fight to the death with Prince Yong."

"If I were granted an official position in the Eastern Palace right now, I'm afraid it would be difficult to resolve the situation peacefully. The center of this vortex would probably intensify."

Han Ming's words made Wang Jiefu nod continuously, and he finally understood the other party's intentions.

"So you should take this opportunity to submit your ten-thousand-word petition and go to the local area to avoid the limelight for a few years." Wang Jiefu smiled bitterly.

"But what if the emperor doesn't agree? Since they regard you as the future guardian of the country, they will certainly not let you go." Wang Jiefu pointed out the core problem of this move.

"The emperor won't be that cruel after all. Besides, I still have my grandfather in the court. I can't run away, hehe..." Han Ming seemed to be sure of victory.

"Then I won't persuade you any more, but you came here late at night just to talk to me?" Wang Jiefu finally agreed with Han Ming's approach.

"Not only that, I want to borrow the original manuscript of your ten thousand word letter to present to the emperor." Han Ming finally revealed a malicious smile.

"You are so good, Han Jingyuan! You are planning to target me!" Wang Jiefu pointed at Han Ming, feeling both amused and helpless.

Because Wang Jiefu's original manuscript was the one in history, and later in Jiangxi, Han Ming and Wang Jiefu recompiled it and put forward a more effective and comprehensive reform plan.

"Are you using my stone to test the waters? Okay, take it. I'm not a stingy person! But your grandfather's 'Wanjitang'..." Wang Jiefu had set his eyes on the place where Han Zhang kept his books.

After all, the entire Song Dynasty knew that Han Zhangxi collected books and built the "Wanji Hall" in Anyang, which collected more than ten thousand volumes of books.

"No problem. When you have time and are transferred to Anyang, I will take you to see it!" Han Ming's words were quite mean.

"You're cursing me, right? Don't cry when I'm really banished from the court!" Wang Jiefu snorted somewhat arrogantly.

"I'm afraid you won't be willing to leave by then." Han Ming looked at Wang Jiefu and laughed.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you're not sincere, I won't lend you this ten-thousand-word letter!"

"Hahaha, I apologize, I apologize, okay? I even brought some special fruit wine, isn't that nice? Come on, try it first!"

Han Ming took Wang Jiefu to have a drink and talked about their ideas and thoughts about the future.

Until Yong Zeng quietly reminded him: "Sir, it's getting late. If you don't go back, Madam Yu will rest in peace..."

This sentence immediately cleared Han Ming's confused mind. He quickly stood up, bowed to Wang Jiefu, and ran away with Yong Zeng.

"Hey, hey, hey! The things you want haven't been taken away yet?!" Wang Jiefu looked at the anxious Han Ming and shouted, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Send it to me tomorrow..." Han Ming shouted and ran away.

Wang Jiefu held his forehead and sighed speechlessly: "Who are these people?!"

The woman behind him said with a smile, "Sir, I'm busy going back to report to my wife!"

Wang Jiefu turned around and saw that it was his cousin and wife, Wu. He smiled softly and said, "I think he is henpecked!"

After saying this, I felt it seemed very interesting and couldn't help laughing.

Wu was clever and knew that her husband was laughing at both Han Ming and herself. Her face flushed slightly and she said in a low voice, "You are so old, and yet you are not serious!"

Wang Jiefu looked at Wu and grinned, without refutation. After all, she was his childhood cousin and knew exactly what he was like.

"I asked the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup for you, sir. Drink some later to warm your stomach and feel better."

"If you are tired, the water for washing is ready."

Looking at Wu's gentle and virtuous appearance, Wang Jiefu felt warm in his heart. He reached out and grabbed her, gently holding her in his arms.

The two of them just stood there, gazing at the bright moon in the distance.

In the corner of the corridor behind him, several boys and girls gathered there, secretly looking at their parents, and from time to time they looked at each other and laughed in a low voice.

After leaving the Wang family, Han Ming and Yong Zeng sat in the carriage and discussed some gossip in Bianjing City to pass the time.

"I heard from the Sheng family's servants that a few days ago, their in-laws, who were also from the Wang family, caused a big scene. The scene at that time was simply beyond words."

Yong Zeng had an expression of wanting to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.

"The Wang family has returned to the capital?" Han Ming was a little surprised. Didn't the Sheng family's relatives return to Bianliang after the new emperor ascended the throne?

"No, it was the old lady of the Wang family who came back alone. I heard that she scolded Lord Sheng severely, but I don't know what happened exactly."

Yong Zeng certainly didn't know about such a disgraceful thing, and Sheng Minglan only told Yu Yanran about it.

Others didn't know that a concubine in the Sheng family had poisoned the mistress of the household.

"That makes sense. I guess the Wang family has caused trouble for Master Sheng, so Master Sheng wants to build a relationship with me to get a chance to get ahead."

"I guess I'll want to stay away from the Wang family from now on. I don't want to see them even for a moment."

"What a pity! Who knows, there will be a time when we will serve in the same court in the future. I wonder how the Sheng and Wang families will develop by then."

"Oh! I almost forgot there's an Aunt Kang in Bianjing! She's also a wonderful person!"

Han Ming leaned against the carriage with a look of amusement on his face.
