It is possible that Zheng Lang has not developed yet, which must be experienced, but he is a child who is late in maturity, who looks one or two years younger than his actual age. Along the way, he is wearing a shackle weighing several pounds on his neck. Fortunately, the yamen runners saw that he was young and did not put shackles on him, otherwise he would not be able to walk a single step. How eye-catching it is.

Some ordinary people were not afraid and asked, "A few guys, are you going to catch such a young child?"

"School Manager Fan left the capital and was this child pretending to be a ghost to play the piano."

"It's him."

It would be fine if he didn't say it, but after he said it, all of them followed. Someone asked again: "Has he committed any crime?"

"Isn't it a crime to pretend to be a ghost?"

"What's the charge?"

"Yes, just playing the piano has nothing to do with pretending to be a god? Is the Song Dynasty going to change the world?"

Even this one must be arrested unless the old lady in the palace wants to learn from Wu Zetian and starts to arrest and kill people randomly. What is it called changing the sky?

It is not easy to be a yamen runner in Kaifeng Prefecture. When the situation is not good, one of the older yamen runners said, "We have nothing to do, we are ordered by our superiors and dare not disobey."

If you don’t say that, it is possible that an angry group can inspire civil unrest.

Before the person could be escorted, he started to make such a loud noise. Wang Bowen slapped his forehead with a sad face and didn't know what to do.

Zheng Lang was brought in, and Wang Bowen almost cursed, "You guys are all pigs." Just such a big boy, but he felt like he was facing a great enemy. Not only did he tie up all over his body, but he also put a big shackle on his body. How can he not attract attention?

But what made him annoyed was behind him. Zheng Lang was still a little confused at this time. Although he made a few instructions, he could not understand it. He just played a song and even mobilized people to question him. Did the old lady also hear many bad rumors and feel a strong sense of disgust for herself?

Several yamen runners saw him standing there blankly and kicked him: "Don't you kneel down when you see the prefect?"

He kicked hard, and was kicked to the ground all at once. The shackles also knocked their noses and blood suddenly flowed out. Zheng Lang was also annoyed, and evil spirits came up. He struggled, stood up again, and shouted to several yamen runners: "Although I have no fame, I am also a student. Kneel on the sky, kneel on the ground, and kneel on the ground, and you kneel on the parents. Today I am not guilty, why should I kneel down!"

Several yamen runners still had to press the pressure, and Wang Bowen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If you do this, if it spreads, I will not be responsible and will make you feel angry. He shouted: "Don't be rude, please untie him quickly."

The prefect spoke, and several yamen runners dared not do anything, so they went up to untie the shackles.

Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This was almost the same. He was afraid that the historical records would be wrong. The officialdom of the Song Dynasty was not the same, so he was in trouble.

But Wang Bowen suddenly slapped the agglomeration and shouted: "Why did you go to play the piano for Fan Jiaojian? Who is instructing me?"

I thought to myself, boy, I have no choice but to act. If you can pass these questions, I will explain it. If you can't pass, I will also let you pull you down. Your face is harsh and your heart is praying, praying to God, praying to the True Lord, and all the great gods, you will show your spirit.

He never thought that he would torture Zheng Lang, but Zheng Lang was too young. Don’t say that he was a child, even an ordinary adult, and when he came to the court in Kaifeng Prefecture, his legs would be trembling.

Zheng Lang was not afraid of not disappointing him. As long as the real officialdom of the Song Dynasty was similar to the historical records, he would not have much trouble. Besides, he was still angry. When he heard Wang Bowen’s question, he bleeded his nose with his sleeve and said seriously: “The boy went to play the piano for Fan Jiaosu to praise the righteousness of the world and the moral traditions for thousands of years. As for whom he taught him, he was the great sages of all dynasties, loyal ministers and good men of all dynasties, and they taught the boy to do this!”

"Okay," Wang Bowen said it in his heart. It would definitely be difficult to say it out loud, otherwise the old lady would be in trouble if she was angry.

With this sentence, I'll be able to hand in the work.

But I have to ask, just pretending, this level is not enough, and I continue to ask: "I have also heard of some things about you, such as being naughty, lustful, brave and cruel, and what qualifications are you to say about righteousness, saints, great wise men, loyal ministers and good men?"

After asking, I thought to myself, old lady, I have asked this, it is worthy of your old man.

"Can you ask the prefect for a few questions?"

"Can."

Wang Bowen has such an attitude, but he is helpless.

The matter starts with his trial of Cao Yi's nephew Cao Fan.

After falling down Ding Wei, Cao used his power to the court and the country, and was very domineering. Even the eunuchs in the palace, even the empress dowager and the emperor, were a little contemptuous and inflicted public anger. Someone happened to report Cao Yi, the nephew of Cao Yi, the military supervisor of Zhaozhou, that he had drunk wine, put on a yellow jacket, and took him to shout long live himself.

When all the officials of the court heard about this, they were shocked. Kou Zhun also wore a dragon robe. Not only did he wear it, but he also wore it on his birthday, and then he wore it on his hair and showed it everywhere. Everyone knew that he was a person who was not particular about the details. That's it. Emperor Zhenzong of Song heard a lot and asked Wang Dan worriedly, Kou Zhun wanted to rebel? Wang Dan just smiled bitterly and said, Kou Zhun was so old that he was not respectful and was too disrespectful. I immediately replied and scolded him. Emperor Zhenzong of Song woke up, and when he thought about the character of this old boy, he felt relieved.

But Kou Zhun didn't dare to ask someone to shout long live his life.

What does this mean? Liu E sent Wang Bowen and eunuch Luo Chongxun to supervise the censor Cui Ji to try the case. At that time, Wang Bowen was a little anxious and tortured the confession. After getting the confession, he thought of Cao Yi's domineering behavior, and in anger, he put Cao Fei in a boiling water pot and cooked it on the live.

Originally, this incident ended, but he didn't expect that Cao Yong would fall due to the incident. Yang Huaimin, the eunuch who was placed in Fangzhou, hated Cao Yong's past actions, so he kept insulting along the way. This minister, known as the most stoic minister of the Song Dynasty, could no longer bear it and committed suicide by hanging himself.

Some ministers also regretted this death.

Although Cao used his domineering behavior, it was much better than Ding Wei. Moreover, it was not easy to go to the Khitan camp alone at the city of Chanzhou, transforming himself into an iron rooster and blocking the Khitans' big mouths.

In fact, he criticized bad things, except for arrogance, he did not do anything bad. As for fighting Kou Zhun, it was too normal in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. There were turbid ministers and qing ministers, and no one had never done anything that could fight against each other. Including Fan Zhongyan, he had done it!

So my attitude changed and I began to sympathize.

Wang Bowen was very sad in this change, because there was a new saying in Cao Xian's case. There was a maid in his family who was very beautiful and his wife was jealous. The two were flirting with each other and they were in a turmoil. Cao Xian had to marry the maid. But he couldn't give up and ran to the maid's house every few days. The maid's husband was very angry. Once Cao Xian came to pester again. When her husband saw Cao Xian wearing a yellow robe, he deliberately bowed to the ground and shouted long live the mountain, attracting neighbors to come and watch. The matter quickly reached the capital, and a series of consequences arose.

If that were the case, Cao Xian could only be a crime of arrogance, and could not be used as a crime of treason.

Therefore, many ministers believed that Wang Bowen was a charming minister.

If this case is handled improperly, it is possible that it will become the second Wang Qinruo. No matter how much contribution it has made to the court, it will be beaten by the Qingliu people and will never turn over.

Zheng Lang asked: "Can you let Niu and Horse play the piano?"

The question was strange, but Wang Bowen answered seriously: "No."

"Prince, you have a grandson, do you?"

"have."

"Can he not wet the bed when he is one year old?"

"cannot."

"Can he write a brilliant chapter like "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" when he was ten years old?"

"cannot."

"So, although the boy did some absurd things when he was ten years old, he later corrected them. Can he be forgiven? Zhou Chu was nearly thirty years old and turned back to justice. Yao Yuanchong was studying hard when he was over 20 years old. Confucius also studied hard at the age of fifteen. Lord Gong, do you have to ask, what did Confucius do before he was fifteen?"

This sentence comes from Confucius' "Analects of Confucius". I am determined to learn at fifteen, and I am determined to be aware of my destiny at thirty, and I am not confused at forty, and I know my destiny at fifteen. I only start learning at fifteen, I only become independent at thirty, I only understand many things that are not confused at forty, and I only know that everything has a destiny at fifteen.

Let me ask, do you dare to refute Confucius?

He also said: "As the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, the prefect changes evil and good, it is not a good thing or an ugly thing. Referring to evil and promoting good is the virtue of a gentleman. Has the prefecture not heard of it? Why do you think that the boy is young and ignorant and ridicule him for laughing at him?"

Wang Bowen smiled and said, "Well said. Zheng Jialang, I ask you, why do you want to see off for Master Fan?"

You don’t have to just reply to me, what kind of righteousness and morality always have to be true, so I can explain it.

"A scholar must not be broad-minded and resolute, and the responsibility is heavy and the way is long. Is it not too heavy to be kind to be his own responsibility? Is it not too far behind himself after death? When encountering such a scholar, the boy only plays a piano for him, what's wrong?"

This is what Zengzi said. A scholar must not be broad-minded and firm in his will. Because he has a long journey of responsibility, he regards the realization of benevolence as his own righteous army. Isn’t it very important to fight for it for life and stop until death? Isn’t it very far? Is Fan Zhongyan’s spirit of doing it even though he knows it is impossible to do it, is it a "scholar" spirit? With this spirit, what’s wrong with me going to see you off?

He refuted with the words of the saint, and Wang Bowen was amused and cried, and finally said: "I have heard of you, saying that after autumn, winter has arrived. Although it is late, from today on, you will be the world!"
