If Wen Jifu is offended, then Wen Yanbo will inevitably resign from his current position, and on the other hand, Han Gang may be able to have one less uncertain factor - even if he has negotiated before, it is impossible for Han Gang to believe in Wen Yanbo's character wholeheartedly. If Wen Yanbo resigns, as long as he doesn't get another veteran who used to be a ruler, no matter who else comes, Han Gang asks himself that relying on his own position will make him unable to affect the project of the Xianghan Caoqu. And with Wen Yanbo's matter in front, the Son of Heaven should not choose someone who will find trouble to come to Luoyang.

However, in the end, whether the position of the prefect of Henan and Xijing will be replaced, this matter still has to wait and see, maybe Zhao Ji will have to leave a decent face for Wen Yanbo, unlike the changes in the political hall, it is almost certain. Fu Bi just said, 'At present, there is only one phase and one reference in the political hall', which obviously excluded Wu Chong.

In the past six months or so, the members of the political hall have changed alternately like a marquee. Both Feng Jing and Wu Chong came down after they went up.

On the surface, it is all the credit of the Taiwan officials, but in fact, it is natural that they cannot satisfy the current son. Otherwise, even if Feng Jing and Wu Chong made a big mistake, the Son of Heaven could help them block it - it was just to clean up the Taiwan admonition, and when Wang Anshi just implemented the new law, Zhao Ji didn't do it.

But in fact, Feng Jing and Wu Chong are obviously not as trusted by Zhao as Wang Anshi, and of course it is impossible to drive all the Taiwan officials who impeached them out of the capital for their sake. Feng Jing had already gone to Heyang Mansion, and Wu Chong was not sure where he would go, his son had dragged him down too much.

Wang Jue, who succeeded Wu Chong, is an old man in the political affairs hall, and has been serving as the governor for almost ten years, but in the court, let alone Wang Anshi, compared to Wu Chong, Wang Jue's presence in the political affairs hall is as thin as the fog in the early morning.

A few years ago, Wang Anshi had not yet ascended to the stage for the second time, and Lu Dafang once said that Wang Qi jointly wrote a letter recommending Zhang Zai to enter Beijing, and Han Gang owed him a favor in this matter. But after Wang Anshi entered Beijing, Wang Jue no longer had more than normal contact with Zhang Zai, nor did he say that he took the opportunity to help promote Guan Xue, so that the favor that was finally sold faded suddenly.

Wang Jue's consistent performance in the political hall is also similar to this, not to be the enemy of the righteous axis, not to go against the will of the Son of Heaven, except that the goal of being an official must be placed in the position of the prime minister, to say that Wang Jue, the old man of the political hall who was not much later than Wang Anshi, has any unique political opinions, Han Gang can't think of it.

Maybe after Wang Qi becomes the prime minister, he will change into another strong character, but Han Gang feels that Wang Qi will most likely still become a prime minister who obeys the orders of the Son of Heaven. This character should be more in line with the needs of today, and three prime ministers in a row have gone to office, in order to maintain the authority of the political hall, Wang Qi should also sit on the phase for a long time.

And without Wu Chong, who has obvious tendencies, with Wang Jue's character and ability, he should not be able to suppress Lu Huiqing, who is eyeing him. At the same time, judging from Wang Qi's actual needs, he should indeed recommend suitable people to enter the political hall; Judging from the current number of people in the political hall, there is an urgent need to replenish new blood.

I don't know if the new blood in the Lu Dao Political Hall will be transferred from the Privy Council, or from the Three Divisions, the Academy or the right candidates from outside the capital.

There are a lot of suitable candidates, and it is impossible to guess. In fact, regardless of age and qualifications, Han Gang is also qualified, and straight bachelors can enter the Privy Council, and there is naturally no problem for bachelors to enter Dongfu. But age and seniority are the biggest problems, and Han Gang doesn't expect to have this luck. Anyway, the result will be known in two or three months, and there is no need to think about it.

Han Gang's heart was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had almost calculated the impact of this change in the court. Compared with the turbulent storms and turbulent waves in the capital, Luoyang here will only be a storm and a backwater. As long as it doesn't interfere with Xianghan Caoyun, Han Gang won't pay too much attention to it.

Han Gang and Fu Bi gossiped for half an hour in the government hall, and people from outside came to report that they had relatives visiting. Fu Bi sued for a crime and asked his second son Fu Shaojing to send Han Gang out to sit in the side hall next to the main hall and wait for the birthday banquet to begin.

On the day of his birthday, Fu Bi is naturally very busy. I was able to talk to him for half an hour on his birthday, and Fu Bi's plan to befriend him was obvious. Once it is rumored, it will definitely be envied by many people, and it will affect the decision of many people.

Han Gang sat in the side hall, although it was only one of the many side halls in the main hall of the rich mansion, but Han Gang was alone, which was better than the bustling other halls. As for the person who accompanies the guest to speak, it is Fu Bi's eldest grandson Fu Zhirou, and from this candidate, it can also be seen that Fu Bi's thoughts.

This time, there are indeed not many people who can be invited to participate in Fubi's birthday - this is at the level of the prime minister - except for the female dependents who entered the backyard, there are more than 200 people, but the gifts sent are piled up in the courtyard, and the rich family's account room may have to work hard.

So many people arrived in Phu Fu one after another before the birthday banquet began. Among them, their status is high and low, and their relationship is also far and near, and they are each led to different halls to entertain. How it is distributed depends on the arrangement of the rich family. But there is always a principle, which is to assign according to the relationship of intimacy between each other.

Of course, the rich family would not invite Wen Yanbo or his son into this small hall, but when Han Gang and Fu Zhirou had a few gossips, they heard movement outside. looked at the person in front of him again, it turned out to be Cheng Jue and Cheng Hao, and the other person was not Cheng Yi, but Lu Dalin, who Han Gang was planning to meet him.

When Han Gang saw it, he hurriedly stood up and saluted. The three of them were not surprised to see Han Gang, they should have heard it first when they were lured over.

"Yukun came early." Cheng Jue smiled first.

"It's only been half an hour." Han Gang gave up his seat and asked Cheng Jue to sit up.

Cheng Jue was not polite, and under Han Gang's humility, he sat in the first guest seat that Han Gang was sitting on. Han Gang asked Cheng Hao to sit down again, and then Lu Dalin, Han Gang resigned for a while, but still let him sit in the third place.

Han Gang's external performance is that he has always respected his teacher, as a noble official, he sits in the lowest position, which makes Cheng Jue, Cheng Hao and even Lu Dalin very appreciative, and Fu Zhirou praised it again and again after being surprised.

On Fu Bi's birthday, his eldest grandson Fu Zhirou was still here, and Han Gang couldn't ask Lu Dalin how the Zhang Zai Xing he wrote was doing, so he chatted with Cheng Jue and Cheng Hao, and Lu Dalin occasionally interjected a few words. also knew that Cheng Yi had an urgent matter and went to Songyang Academy, so he didn't come to congratulate him on his birthday. However, with Cheng Yi's character, he should not like noisy banquets.

It was almost noon when the lively atmosphere in Phu Fu finally reached its climax. Fu Zhirou also confessed and hurriedly left the side hall.

An incense case was placed in the courtyard of the rich family, and Fu Bi changed into a court dress, took dozens of people from the rich family up and down, and bowed down to the envoys who came here to announce the edict.

And all the visitors came to the courtyard to watch the ceremony. Han Gang saw Wen Yanbo, but he didn't expect him to come anyway, which was really to give Fu Bi face. Of course, there may also be thoughts to prove that they have not been affected by previous disputes. The two glanced at each other from a distance of dozens of steps, Han Gang owed, and Wen Yanbo nodded, and the people who observed the movements of the two were all surprised, but they didn't expect that there was no problem between the two.

According to the usual practice, a lieutenant envoy was sent to the city of Tokyo to announce the edict to show his favor to the old minister. And this one is Han Gang's acquaintance.

When a tall, dark-faced, and even a few beards on his chin, who did not look like a eunuch at all, read the edict, Han Gang couldn't help but feel a ridiculous feeling in his heart, he would be one of the culprits in the future, and every time he made progress now, it was possible that he would be cultivating soil on the grave of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In just a few years, Tong Guan was able to become an envoy who came to Fubi Mansion to announce his birthday, and Han Gang was not without surprise in his heart. The envoys who carry the emperor's order and go out of the palace to announce the edict are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they can give the old ministers and important ministers, and their status will not be low. With Tong Guan's qualifications in the palace, the opportunity is a little too good.

History is also changing, Tong Guan should have no chance to be crowned king again, and now even the emperor who can cause him to be crowned king has not been born. However, the current Tong Guan seems to be in high spirits, and he reads the edict full of good words and clichés aloud in a low voice.

After receiving the edict, Fu Bi took the family to thank the Son of Heaven for his kindness, and offered the edict in the hall as usual.

The holy decree was received, the guests were also gathered, and the rest was naturally Fubi's birthday banquet. The banquet adopts a separate table system, basically two people at a table, but Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and Tong Guan, who is an angel, sit alone.

After taking the seat, the arrangement of seats is mainly based on status, in addition to the factor of prestige. In order to arrange the seats, the rich family must have spent a lot of brains. Everyone fights for a name, and the slightest mistake will offend people.

However, Han Gang did not fight, but made a big concession. His position was among the top few among the guests, but he did not follow the rich family's arrangement and sit on it. Cheng Jue and Cheng Hao were not seated, so he refused the position arranged by the rich family.

"If it is above the court, it should be based on stories and laws, and the seats should be determined by official qualities. But this banquet is not a court, and Han Gang does not dare to live above the elders. ”

Han Gang put on an attitude of respecting the teacher, and Fu Bi naturally wanted to fulfill it. Han Gang's position was occupied by Cheng Hao, and the rich family adjusted it again, so that Cheng Jue, who had been invited to the front, sat on the same table as Cheng Hao, and Han Gang sat jointly with Lu Dalin.

After this time, Han Gang's respect for the division commander has also become more famous. The story of Chengmen Lixue was once doubted, but now it is not.

Fubi's birthday banquet is not extravagant, there are only a dozen dishes before and after, but the people who come to celebrate his birthday are not for eating and drinking. stepped forward and was toasted by Fu Bi with a few glasses of longevity wine, and after making a fuss, they all dispersed.

Han Gang went back to his residence with Lu Dalin, and he also said at the banquet that he wanted to take a look at Zhang Zai's behavior first.

In the small room, Han Gang took the first draft written by Lu Dalin and read it directly. After so many years of training, even if there is no punctuation, Han Gang can read through an article smoothly when it is placed in front of him.

Although Lu Dalin's article lacks Su Shi's gorgeous literary brilliance and Wang Anshi's simple charm, as a student who has followed Zhang Zai for decades, there is no lack of truth in the text.

At first, Han Gang was smiling and nodding while watching, but he only saw half of it, but he put it down, and there was no expression on his face: "Uncle He...... You're really well written. ”
