Chapter 38: How to Divide the Importance of the King (5)
[Say sorry.] It seems that I overestimated my writing speed, and I have only finished writing a chapter until now. Let's try to recover the speed of the past, and try to recover to one shift a day. ]
"Jiefu Pingzhang has done a really good job. As soon as Han Gang handed over the resignation form in the Chongzheng Hall on the front foot, Wang Pingzhang also handed the resignation form on the Funing Hall on the back foot. The Emperor and Song Dynasty have been founding for a hundred years, and such things are rare. ”
Under the moon, in the pavilion, Cai Wei was holding a silver cup and sighing.
A waning moon was reflected in the cup, and Xing Shu raised his glass and invited: "Who let him have a good son-in-law." If he doesn't be ruthless, the people below will clear his son-in-law alone. ”
"The five cents are falling tonight, and the gold and silver shops can only be used for two dollars. They are well-informed, but the other guilds are not bad, and tomorrow they will know that Han Gang has resigned. ”
"The three envoys asked by Lu Jia can't do it."
The two drank to each other and smiled.
Neither Wang Anshi's faction, nor Han Gang, of course they have the power to gloat.
Han Gang and Wang Anshi resigned one after another, and they have been completely screwed up.
The resignation of the official is not a literal meaning for the ministers. Often, it is just a tactic to reassert one's position and defuse the offensive of political opponents.
Han Gang's resignation in the morning was expected by many to be his reaction to the fact that he had not been ordered to enter Beijing and that his henchmen were attacked locally. If you want to show that you are not entering Beijing for the sake of power, it is inevitable to make a show.
But Wang Anshi's resignation surprised everyone. Not in the Chongzheng Palace, in front of the queen; It was in the Funing Palace, when he led the ministers to meet the Son of Heaven.
Although he did not resign at the Chongzheng Palace, and did not directly confront Han Gang, the intention of the-for-tat confrontation was clearly revealed. didn't delay for a day, and on the same day, he returned the color, and asked Zhao Ji to recall Lu Huiqing to Beijing as well.
If Han Gang is advancing by retreating, this time the loss will be decided. If Wang Anshi retreats, Han Gang will inevitably not be left alone, and then Lu Huiqing, who returns to the dynasty, will press him. And if Wang Anshi is comforted, the important military affairs of Pingzhang to regain his position will also make it difficult for Han Gang to expand his hands in Xifu.
But in the end, it depends on the queen.
The queen's importance to Han Gang is well known to everyone. The kindness left on the night of the winter solstice can also bless the three generations of the Han family, not to mention it. Wang Anshi pulled his son-in-law off the horse and completely offended the queen. He recommended Lu Huiqing to come back, and the Son of Heaven could nod, but after he came back, would the queen be likely to reuse him? Cai is indispensable to benefit.
How did Cai Qu's son and doorman not like it?
……………………
"Lu Huiqing is coming back."
Under the same moon, the banquet between Zeng Bu and his wife and brother Wei Tai was much duller. The wine and food were placed on the stone table in the courtyard for a long time, but Zeng Bu's chopsticks didn't even move.
Among Zaifu, the one who didn't want to see Lu Huiqing enter the court the most was Zeng Bu, not Cai Qu.
After all, when Lu Huiqing comes back, even if he is promoted to prime minister, his position will be below Cai Qu. But whether he was promoted to prime minister or stayed in Xifu, he was always above him.
"The Son of Heaven hasn't agreed yet. Wang Pingzhang didn't really want to resign. ”
"Wang Jiefu is a true resignation official. Lu Huiqing will definitely be able to come back. ”
Even though Zeng Bu and Wang Anshi parted ways early, his understanding of Wang Anshi is still deep in his bones.
Wang Anshi owes Lu Huiqing a debt, and with Wang Anshi's character, he must make up for it. His resignation and recommendation today are making up for it.
In order to stop Han Gang before, Wang Anshi did not hesitate to sacrifice Lu Huiqing, who was also dispatched. Now that Han Gang is back, Lu Huiqing can completely cite Han Gang's example and set off directly back to Beijing. It's just that picking up people's teeth and imitating people's deeds will inevitably damage their reputation. Even if Lu Huiqing wants to return to Beijing again, I'm afraid she will hesitate again and again.
And Wang Anshi resigned from the post of Pingzhang and pushed Lu Huiqing to power with his backhand, which not only ensured the control of the New Party in the court, but also compensated Lu Huiqing and allowed him to return to Beijing with the permission of the Son of Heaven, which in turn reflected Han Gang's frivolity.
Han Gang was imprudent. Always cunning and deceiving others. Don't you know that although Wang Jiefu is old, he is not something that can be humiliated by studying late in later generations. ”
Wang Anshi chose to resign in the Funing Hall instead of the Chongzheng Palace, in order to have a showdown with the queen behind Han Gang.
Zhao Ji may still not know about the great war between Song and Liao that has just passed, and the news he got from the outside world this time only withstood the blackmail of the Liao, which is better than the eight years of Xining, but after all, it is the credit of his change of law and the selection of a group of virtuous ministers.
But whether it is war or blackmail, since the imperial court has successfully passed the crisis brought by the Liao State under the queen's rule, there is no longer a need for a Pingzhang military state to assist the queen in stabilizing the dynasty.
Wang Anshi resigned, and Zhao Ji was in the arms. However, when Wang Anshi resigned, he recommended Lu Huiqing by the way, but Zhao Ji couldn't help but agree, this is an exchange, and it is also a respect for the elders.
Wang Jiefu resigned in front of the Son of Heaven and recommended Lu Jifu. I'm afraid the queen is sweating in her heart. Zeng Bu said softly.
In the past time, there have been too many deceptions. Even if it is kind, the Son of Heaven can't help it if he is not considerate. It's okay for the foreign minister to lie and deceive the king, but as a queen, she colluded with the foreign minister to deceive together. The three obedience and four virtues are not observed, once the matter is broken, the most hated by the Son of Heaven is the queen who married the couple.
With Wang Anshi here, it is not impossible for the Son of Heaven to want to abolish the queen.
There is also a Concubine Zhu Xian in the palace, Concubine Zhu Xian, who gave birth to the prince!
……………………
Tonight's meal, Zhang's food is unpleasant.
It's a mess of messy situations, don't say that cleaning it up is to find clues in it, and it's also a headache.
"Privy. Lu Ming is back. After being summoned, Lu Ming appeared beside Zhang Dian.
Lu Ming, as a guest of Zhangdunmen, has been running for him for many years, and at the same time, because he also has a three-point friendship with Han Gang, he is often sent to contact Han Gang.
"What did Han Yukun say?" Zhang Dian asked a little impatiently.
He is already on the side of Han Gang, and although he has not yet been able to part ways with the New Party, he has actually been squeezed out of the inner circle of the New Party. In such a situation, of course, I care about what Han Gang plans to do next. Knowing Han Gang's true purpose, it was convenient for him to cooperate.
"Han Shumi's villain asked the villain to apologize to the privy on his behalf, he is going to see his father-in-law tomorrow, and he will not refrain from being separated."
"Oh!" Zhang Dian was surprised and lost his voice, Han Gang was smashing Longtan. The courage can be imagined, "But tomorrow's road is not easy." ”
I don't know how many people want to see the good drama between Wang Anshi and Han Gang's sons-in-law in the capital, and there will definitely be countless people sent to listen to the news. Half of it is at the mouth of Hanjia Lane, and half is outside the gate of the palace. As soon as Han Gang came out, he could immediately cause a commotion.
However, Han Gang should have thought of this, and most likely he had been prepared for a long time. Worrying about him is a pure waste of time. Neither was he more concerned about this matter.
"Aside from this, what else did Han Yukun say?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Han Shumi only said one sentence - the three divisions must win people." ”
"Soul winning?" Zhang's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
It's easy to put it. Just the word "winning people" can make a big article, and there are only a handful of people in all dynasties and dynasties who can achieve the word "winning people". In this world, there are tens of millions of people, but how many can be said to be talents?
Han Gang's resignation was first of all aimed at the court's financial schemes, which Han Gang had never concealed. The five cents, which have just returned to their original price, will definitely fall back to the bottom this time. This matter, if Lu Jia asked if it could not be resolved safely, it would be inevitable to take the blame.
But if you want to succeed Lu Jiawen as the third envoy, you need to be really proficient in financial planning, and at the same time, you must have enough qualifications, of course, it can't be Han Gang and his political enemies.
It is impossible for Xue Xiang to go back to be the third envoy, and in a few days, when the track from Suzhou to the capital is paved, he may have to beg for bones.
There are only two such candidates.
Su Song.
Shen Kuo.
Su Song's qualifications to enter the Eastern Mansion are more than enough, plus he is old, the position of privy deputy envoy and governor is not enough, a cool umbrella can even shade his grandchildren, and the third envoy, this thankless errand may not be willing to do it.
As for Shen Kuo. Thinking of this person, Zhang Dian was like a pile of stinky shit appeared in front of him. Shen Cunzhong's character is really speechless. Han Gang trusted him, but Zhang Dian didn't dare to trust him.
Wang Anshi believed that he would use him, but once Wang Anshi left office, he immediately changed his court, and even swallowed back what he said before. Su Shi corresponded with his poems and essays, but he sent Su Shi's articles to Wutai Li Ding's hands. If he returned to the position of the third envoy and saw that Han Gang was weak, he might be able to backhand.
Even if Shen Kuo can serve as the third envoy and can respond positively to the previous problem, another problem is difficult to solve:
Will the queen be able to hold it?
The Son of Heaven is not a stupid person, on the contrary, the emperors of the Zhao family can be regarded as smart.
The queen's reliance on Han Gang will not be seen by the Son of Heaven. And just looking at the young prince, he should also know that unless it is a major event that is urgent and burns his eyebrows, it is impossible for the queen to agree to let Han Gang leave Beijing and go to Hedong. Compared with the understatement sent to the Funing Palace, even if the gap was not reflected for a while, by now, it should have been a deep doubt, and it is even very likely that the truth has been learned.
Herein lies the big problem.
The Son of Heaven has endured for a long time, doesn't he have the idea of regaining his authority and finding a new queen who is coarse and can read and listen to the edict?
Forbearance now may be for the sake of an outbreak in the future.
Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's more than a decade from now. For such a big matter, the emperor always had to wonder again and again. Moreover, there are only a few courtiers who can help the emperor achieve his goals. Zhang Dian felt that perhaps no one would be willing to help a dying emperor.
But since things are possible, preparations must be made, and the emperor's careful thinking must be suppressed.
It's very rare.
Zhang Duan sighed softly. Some things are much harder to do than to talk about them.
It seems that he really has to see what Han Gang will tell his father-in-law tomorrow?
Zhang Dian is looking forward to it.
