[I'm really sorry, the day before yesterday I helped at my brother's wedding, and yesterday I accompanied a few good friends who came from out of town to attend the wedding banquet for a day. Try to make up for the chapters that are owed. This is the first update of the day]

Today's Chongzheng Hall did not make any resolutions. Before the Liao people completely tore their faces, for the time being, they only had the idea of responding to all changes with the same.

Wang Qi led the ministers to salute the Son of Heaven, but when the others began to withdraw from the Chongzheng Palace, he stood still.

For a long time, after the court meeting, Zhao Ji often left Wang Jue alone to say two sentences.

Zhao Ji has many ideas on how to govern the country, but these ideas are often difficult to pass in the court, or it takes a lot of effort to speak. But if there is the help of the prime minister, there is no need to debate with the ministers at all, it is enough to let the prime minister convey the facts.

In the name of the Three Decrees, Wang Jue completed the task very well and was a qualified messenger.

But today's situation was different from usual, Zhao Ji called another person: "Lu Qing, you stay for a while." ”

Lu Huiqing's footsteps stopped, bowed his head to receive the order, and hid the expression on his face.

Wang Qi also lowered his head at the same time, so that every tentative gaze hit his long head.

By the time the two of them looked up again, they couldn't see any strangeness on their faces.

Everyone in the temple thought that there would be such a moment, but no one expected it to be so soon. Just after today's court pair, the one who was left to ask the right question was no longer Prime Minister Wang Qi, but also Governor Lu Huiqing. However, although this matter was unexpected, it was reasonable, after all, he had a clear attitude and expressed his support for the continuation of the war.

In the case of internal and external stability, Wang Jue, who is based on the king's order, is naturally valued by the Son of Heaven. However, the defeat of Lingzhou showed that Wang Qi was not enough to calm the crisis, and the holy favor he received was significantly weakened. And Lu Huiqing, who has a firm personality and still chooses to support the war, and at the same time insists on practicing the law and can continue to increase revenue for the treasury, naturally became the object of Zhao Ji's dependence.

As for Han Gang, being left alone at this juncture is a harbinger of being promoted to the ruling power - recently, because Han Gang has entered the Chongzheng Palace with Zaifu, there are more and more rumors that he is about to enter the two mansions, just to quell the rumors, Zhao Ji will not do this. At least for now, it is not clear that the Son of Heaven has this plan.

But the political significance of Lu Huiqing's stay is equally deep.

Maybe the status quo of Wang Jue's solitude can't be maintained for long, and the same idea appears in the hearts of every important minister who steps out of the Chongzheng Palace.

After a long absence, Lu Huiqing knew that her opportunity had finally come. He held back his excitement and expounded his suggestions in front of the Son of Heaven: "The situation has changed, and the state is guarded, Sun Yong is no longer in line with his duties, His Majesty should quickly select and transfer talents, guard Hedong, and wait for the Liao people." ”

"Sun Yong......" Zhao Ji frowned slightly, seriously considering Lu Huiqing's suggestion.

……………………

Since leaving the Chongzheng Palace, Wang Jue's pace has been slightly faster than usual, Lu Gongzhu is still calm, and the prime minister and privy envoy are walking one after another. Yuan Jiang and Han Gang were left behind.

Yuan Jiang was only half a step ahead of Han Gang, and he turned his head sideways as he walked: "Today's discussion in the palace, thanks to your advice from Yukun, otherwise just the 20,000 Liao people who entered Datong Mansion would make people inside and outside the capital panic." ”

"It's just a concurrence of general remarks, and it's far less profound than Lu Jifu's insight."

Han Gang wanted to see Yuan Jiang's reaction, but Yuan Jiang, who had been immersed in officialdom for a long time, did not reveal any valuable information to Han Gang in his expression and words at all.

He walked calmly on the cloister and told Han Gang his opinion: "Hedong is the pivot of attack and defense in the north, but Sun Mancai can't afford to connect the east and the west, and connect the south and block the north. The vassals of Hedong Road still have to decide as soon as possible. ”

"This matter is beyond Han Gang's beak." Han Gang didn't want to communicate with this old fox in the political hall in the court personnel, this was not what he should say, Yuan Jiang seemed to be shallow and profound, but the attitude he showed was still vague, "The responsibility of the side marshal should be agreed upon by the general participation of the minister, and the report will be dealt with by the Son of Heaven." With the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, the Great Counsellor and the rest of the princes, there must be a convincing decision. ”

Han Gang refuses to be a thousand miles away, although he also thinks that Sun Yong should have gotten out a long time ago.

From the time Yelu Yixin Shuai's 200,000 Liao divisions arrived in Yuanyangluo, the matter of replacing the vassals of Taiyuan Mansion in Bingzhou had already been put on the table. So far, there is no conclusive conclusion, just because Sun Yong, who was the prefect at the time, was an old minister of the Son of Heaven's palace, and when Zhao Ji was still the king of Ying, Sun Yong was his rafter.

Because of this, although Sun Yong has always been a faction that opposes the opening up of territory, Wang Shao was in the old years of Pingrongce, and Sun Yong, who was the governor of Qinzhou, was greatly opposed, but he has always been able to sit in important positions - Qinzhou, the Imperial Academy, and the Ordnance Superintendent, all of which are positions that can be rewarded for meritorious service. Even if he is temporarily frustrated by sin, he can quickly be used by the Son of Heaven.

However, at the critical moment when the Liao people put on a posture of raising troops to the south and began to dispatch elites to Datong, Sun Yong's talents and political views were placed in the three positions of Taiyuan Prefect, Hedong Road Jingluo Pacification Envoy, and Hedong Road Soldiers and Horses Commander, which was like a monkey pulling a cart, which was completely incompatible.

Yuan Jiang didn't mind Han Gang's coldness - at least on the surface, he couldn't see it at all: "If Hedong can be like Hebei, there are virtuous ministers and famous generals in charge, and Jingzhong can sit back and relax." He glanced sideways at Han Gang, "...... Presumably, Lu Jifu also thinks the same way. ”

Isn't this nonsense?!

What Yuan Jiang can think of, the two people in front can't think of? Or would he Han Gang not think of it?

Of the two governors in the capital, there are only two who have a clear banner to continue the war to the end.

Among them, Wang Qi needed the support of Han Gang because of the defeat of Lingzhou. But Lu Huiqing was not dragged down by the defeat of Lingzhou, but he didn't need it - in the Chongzheng Palace, there was no need for two courtiers who had the right to judge in military affairs.

Lu Huiqing took advantage of this opportunity to try to let herself go out.

Especially Wang Shao's illness has spread in the capital, Lu Huiqing will only taboo Han Yukun, who is too healthy, and will not care too much about Wang Zichun, who is said to be sick and unable to move.

"I heard that Wang Zichun's illness is not light?" Yuan Jiang probed Han Gang about Wang Shao's condition.

"Where is this rumor?" Han Gang pretended to be confused, if he nodded to confirm that Wang Shao's illness was cured, it would delay his progress, "Senior Wang is both civil and military, and he never wastes his martial arts cultivation, even if he is sick, it is just a cold." ”

"That's good." Yuan Jiang stroked his long beard, smiled and nodded, with the attitude of a benevolent elder: "With the prince pure, whether he is sitting in Jindi or staying in the town, he can make people sit back and relax." ”

"That's exactly what the Great Counsellor said." Han Gang replied a little coldly, and finally let Yuan Jiang choose to be silent.

As long as Wang Zhongzheng and Chong Ge can successfully withdraw their army, the initiative in this battle will be regained in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty - Han Gang is convinced of this.

Just like attacking someone with a punch, you must first withdraw your fist to accumulate strength. Before, whether it was the defeat of Gao Miao and the two in Lingzhou, or the fact that Chong Ge and Li Xian were on the shore of the Hanhai Sea, it was because of their exhaustion, the logistics supply line had been stretched to the limit, and the morale of the army was also exhausted.

If the forces that attacked out of Lu were withdrawn, they would occupy several strategic points, and use the ownership of Hexi and Yinxia as bait to force Western Xia to come over and fight for it. The result of waiting for work at ease will definitely make the iron harrier unable to please.

Coming out of the palace, Han Gang thought that his current position was a little far away from the affairs he was involved in. The right to speak, supported by authority on military issues, is not of much benefit to oneself.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, this sentence is actually very reasonable.

Encroaching on his official power will naturally provoke resentment. Just like Han Gang himself, it is difficult to tolerate someone encroaching on his authority.

And Han Gang has now put his hand into the private place of the Zaifu, although he has always consciously restrained himself, trying to discuss things as much as possible, and not getting involved in discussions in other fields, but it is impossible to think of how much kindness the Zaifu have towards him. Unless he can truly enter the two mansions, his presence in the Chongzheng Hall will be as dazzling as the black sheep in the white flock.

Han Gang never thought of being a fighting dog and fighting with everyone. He has tried to keep a low profile in the court discussion, but the order of the Son of Heaven's consultation always puts himself at the bottom, as if he Han Gang is the one who makes the final decision.

Yuan Jiang could faintly point out that Lu Huiqing would try to send Han Gang to Hedong. It's not because Yuan Jiang himself has deep feelings, it's not that he understands Lu Huiqing's thoughts, but because he uses Lu Huiqing as a guise to say what is in his heart.

Han Gang also had a very high vigilance against the Zaifu for a long time, so he could react immediately.

Therefore, Han Gang had a big or small verbal confrontation with several Zaizhi before-anyway, he couldn't please him, so it was better to be a lonely minister in front of the Son of Heaven - even if he contradicted the Son of Heaven for a while, but when Zhao Ji calmed down, at least he would not leave much bad impression.

But it's not good to go too far. For the time being, Han Gang doesn't want to have any more conflicts with the Zaizhi, especially from today, there will soon be a storm about to break out between Lu Huiqing and Wang Jue, and standing in the middle of them, it is very likely that he will be involved.

Han Gang managed to squeeze into the capital this time, with the intention of inheriting the mantle handed down by Zhang Zai and preaching qi in the capital, but he was unexpectedly delayed by the war in the northwest. Who would have thought that Yelu Yixin would act so simply and cause a big change in the situation in the world?

If he can't preach qi, inside and outside, Han Gang doesn't care. It's better outside, and he can still use his military merits to promote a few more disciples of his own sect. Because the pox method is spreading all over the world, Qi science can actually be regarded as a prominent science in the world, and there are not a few disciples who are among the disciples.

At present, there is still a case of Taixue in the DPRK and China, and I don't know when it will be concluded. The officials who are now implicated are basically the future backbone of the New Party. If we deal with it seriously, it is a copy of Su Shunqin's case back then, and a major setback in Xinxue can be expected. When he came back, the vacuum he left behind was just enough for the Qi Science Vein to be inserted into it.

But this is still far ahead, can Lu Huiqing get the Son of Heaven to nod and agree to let him go to Hedong? Again, that's a problem.
