Chapter 4: The Tiger Roars and Returns to the Mountains (2)
[There is also a watch to make up in the afternoon]
Summoned the former prime minister for questioning in the name of rebellion – to put it mildly, a prisoner of guilt. Even all the ministers of the old party who hated Wang Anshi to the core, they never dared to think so in their wildest dreams.
They investigated Li Shining's involvement in the rebellion, and they were indeed ready to beat the side drum, move forward in a roundabout way, and after dragging Wang Anshi's two sons in, they finally forced Wang Anshi to take over the charge of having no way to teach his godson. But how could anyone dare to directly involve Wang Anshi, and it was Han Gang who said this, Wang Anshi's son-in-law!
Even though Wang Anshi has left the phase, the cause of law reform that he single-handedly promoted and presided over is still the mainstream of the country's governance strategy. For today's Son of Heaven, Wang Anshi is like a teacher and a friend. Although today, Wang Anshi's saint is far less than it was at the beginning, but there is still respect and trust. Every once in a while, Zhao Ji would also send a close chamberlain to Jiangning with gifts to inquire, which shows that he has unfailing favor for Wang Anshi.
Zhao Ji stared at Han Gang suspiciously, was this his angry words?
If Han Gang's expression was angry now, and Fang Cai's speech was roaring, a few imperial historians who were in the palace could be charged with a crime of disgrace in front of the king. But Han Gang was as calm as the moon in a well, and there was no mood swing at all.
"Recruit Wang Anshi to Beijing to inquire?" Zhao Ji was suspicious in his heart, and asked Han Gang word by word.
Han Gang immediately replied: "This case has been unresolved for a long time, and it involves a wide range of implications, and it involves the son of the prime minister, so he should recruit his father into Beijing." ”
The question and answer between the Son of Heaven and Han Gang immediately made everyone understand. Han Gang said these words, and the intention was only in the last sentence-
He is going to invite Wang Anshi back!
He is going to invite Wang Anshi, who went out of the throne, to come back!
…… How does this make !!
The same reaction appeared in different camps.
Once Wang Anshi sees the Son of Heaven again after more than half a year, what will happen to the situation, all the important ministers in the palace can guess. Recently, their performance has been so bad that it is impossible for the Son of Heaven not to miss the court situation in the past when Wang Anshi was the prime minister.
Of course, the people in the old party wanted Wang Anshi to retire in Jiangning, from the current fifty-three and four, until he died. With Wang Anshi's prestige, as soon as they come back, they will inevitably easily control the situation, and then they will have to live under Mount Tai again.
But the people in the new party should rejoice. It took Lu Huiqing half a year to get rid of the old party, and now everything is constrained by the court, which has made the low-level new party officials feel impatient. Several cores in high positions have a lot of pressure on their bodies, and it is a good thing for them that Wang Anshi can come back-it's just that one person should be discharged.
Wang Qi's feet moved, but he still endured. Feng Jing is not here today, and he has no intention of coming out. looked at Wu Chong opposite, hoping that the privy envoy would stand up. But at this time, a figure flashed from the corner of Wang Jue's eyes, and when he looked at it, it was Lu Huiqing stepping out of the train.
The governor from Fujian stood in the center of the hall and said aloud to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty! The minister uses his life as a guarantee, and the king will not be involved in this case! He wants to keep the banner of Wang Anshi, but he doesn't want this banner to flutter again in the political hall, and there can only be one of the new party's Chinese military leaders, and that is him Lu Huiqing.
Han Gang glanced at Lu Huiqing in surprise, he didn't expect Lu Huiqing to be the first to jump out. In his judgment, no matter how much Lu Jifu didn't want to see Wang Anshi return to Beijing, he should at least hesitate a little and appear in the third and fourth ranks.
Lu Huiqing was righteous and stern, and from his appearance, it was impossible to see that he was arguing for Wang Pan so hard in order to prevent Wang Anshi from returning to Beijing, "Wang Bian inherited the teachings of his father and brother since he was a child, and acted strictly. ”
Lu Huiqing stood up to speak, but Zhang Dian and Zeng Xiaokuan were hesitant, and they didn't know whether they should stand up for a while. Of course, they hope that Wang Anshi's banner will return to Beijing, but now they are not on Lu Huiqing's side, but they are clearly going to split.
Zhang Dian was hesitating, and Han Gang's cold eyes had already glanced over. In addition to the few facing the Son of Heaven, Han Gang, who was standing in the center of the hall, could see the demeanor of anyone in the hall, including Zhang Dan's, of course.
Zhang Dian knew that it was time to choose a side. It is impossible to hide the controversy in the palace today, and Lu Huiqing's selfishness cannot be concealed from the discerning person, if he chooses the wrong one, he will completely offend Wang Anshi. And whether Han Gang's words upheld Wang Anshi's intentions or not, Zhang Dian couldn't be sure.
There was only a moment of hesitation between Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, and Zhang Dian also walked out of the train and turned to face the Son of Heaven: "The minister is also willing to take the life of the family as a guarantee, and Wang Fang has nothing to do with the rebellion case." But Li Shining is involved in rebellion, so he must find out about it and return the innocence of Wang Anshi's father and son. ”
Lu Huiqing, who was standing in front, suddenly shook when he heard this, and the sound from behind him made him feel that the place where his feet were standing seemed to be hanging above the abyss, empty, leaving him with nowhere to focus.
Zhang Tun's back was reflected in Han Gang's eyes, and he got a smile of relief at the corner of his lips, it seemed that this friend of his had understood. With Zhang's support, the members of the New Party in the capital could no longer only listen to Lu Huiqing's orders, but had a more appropriate choice.
Lu Huiqing was extremely anxious, Deng Juan should come out to speak, but there was no sound coming from the direction where Yu Shi Zhongcheng was.
It was Cai Qu who came out, "Your Majesty, this case is a very important matter, and it should be investigated." ”
Lu Huiqing's heart was cold, and now he could only hope that Wu Chong would come out.
Of course, Wu Chong also wanted to stop Wang Anshi from going to Beijing, but he didn't know what to do for a while. If it is said that the investigation continues, Wang Anshi will definitely enter Beijing. If he didn't investigate the king's involvement in the case, his previous words were still there, and the irrigation garden boy standing near the door of the temple was waiting for him to retort.
Han Gang looked at the chaos in the hall coldly, and he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, it was really ridiculous. Wang Anshi hasn't come back yet, so the palace has become a frightened monkey mountain, if he really comes back, what will be the situation?
It's all caused by Han Gang's words. Whether Wang Anshi can go to Beijing or not, Han Gang does not dare to guarantee. But his act of directly flipping the table made everyone in the palace unable to deal with it. From today onwards, the political strife in the court can take a break. And there is one thing, everyone should understand that foreign courtiers can write to invite themselves to Beijing.
The courtiers in the palace each performed on stage, but the attitude of the Son of Heaven was intriguing.
No matter what the courtiers were saying, Zhao Ji didn't say a word and refused to give a reply. Until the time of his retreat, he did not judge the controversy in the palace today.
The net whip sounded, and the inner servant shouted at the top of his voice to retreat, but Han Jiang did not move. The prime minister, who was supposed to lead the ministers to send off the Son of Heaven, said to the Son of Heaven bluntly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do, please stay right today." ”
Han Jiang, who has always had a thin presence in the political affairs hall, was forced to become a clay statue by Feng Jing and Lu Huiqing, and even Han Gang was stunned when he opened his mouth at this time.
"Accurate!" Zhao Ji opened Chrysostom and spit out only one word. But this word is like Huang Zhong Da Lu, setting off turbulent waves in the hearts of every courtier.
No matter how weak Han Jiang is, he is the prime minister! The weight of the speech is not too light. Especially now that he asked himself to stay right, he would never do it to say something commonplace!
It is very common for the Son of Heaven to leave his courtiers down after the discussion, and Wang Anshi even had a long time when the Son of Heaven could stay and speak after each discussion. But the courtiers asked to stay different, and since Ding, few people have done so.
Ding Wei is the power minister in the last years of Zhenzong. He controlled the government, eradicated dissidents, and even framed Kou Zhun who had recommended him, and the world regarded him as a traitor, but no one could help it. But it was this shrewd, wise, and cunning prime minister who was murdered by a stratagem. Wang Zeng, who was in phase with Ding Wei at the same time, used his stepson as an excuse to obtain Ding Wei's consent and asked to stay right. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he joined forces with Empress Dowager Zhang Xian, who had been dissatisfied with Ding Wei for a long time, and drove him out of the capital and degraded to Qiongzhou.
If Wang Zeng can't ask himself to stay right, Liu E, the Empress Dowager of Zhang Xian, can't know which one in the Lu Dao Political Hall is Ding Wei's opponent, and he can't deal with Ding Wei under the trap. And when Wang Zeng took the initiative to stay, the two hit it off, making Ding Wei lose in vain.
Since then, the important ministers have inevitably been suspected of framing the same column if they ask to stay right, which has become a major taboo in the court. Han Jiangxuan, who had been silent for a long time, asked himself to stay right today, which made many people have a bad premonition in their hearts.
Han Gang looked at Lu Huiqing and Wu Chong's pale faces, and while guessing Han Jiang's intentions, he couldn't help but smile secretly, I'm afraid that no one outside could have thought that these two still had a heart-to-heart connection.
After leaving the palace, Han Gang returned to the Ordnance Supervisor to deal with daily affairs. Wait until the afternoon, see that the time is almost up, and send someone to contact Zhang. Since Zhang Dian has expressed his support for Wang Anshi's return to Beijing, it is necessary to talk to him. Regardless of whether Wang Anshi can return to Beijing or not, Zhang Dan's statement today has proved that he is not completely on Lu Huiqing's side, but still supports Wang Anshi.
It was only when Han Gang returned home that the family sent to find Zhang Dian came back and said to him: "Master Zhang has just returned home, and he has been recruited into the palace. ”
Wang Yi, who was helping Han Gang change clothes next to him, stopped in surprise: "What happened today, you want to lock the hospital?!" ”
It's not a New Year's holiday, the Hanlin Bachelor entered the palace overnight, except for the blockade of the academy and the writing of an important edict for the Son of Heaven, there will be nothing else. Even Wang Yi, a woman from a Taoist family, has this insight.
Han Gang slapped the table: "It's Han Jiang!" Han Jiang really recommended his father-in-law. ”
"Official?" Han Gang's brainless words made Wang Yi confused.
"Han Zihua asked himself to stay right today, because it was to push his father-in-law to reinstate." Han Gang said, and suddenly Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, he originally only wanted to deter a cadre of political enemies, and by the way, lead the Son of Heaven to reactivate Wang Anshi's mind. Where did he expect to attract Han Jiang's actions, which made the situation change drastically. This result is even more interesting than he imagined, "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings." Now the tiger is going back to the mountain, see which monkey can still dance happily?! ”
