Coming out of the imperial city, Wu Haogu did not return to his house immediately, but went straight to the mansion of Prime Minister Han Zhongyan.

Han Zhongyan is now his younger brother Wu Haowen's father-in-law! Moreover, Han Zhongyan's line of "non-party gentleman" is more beneficial to Wu Haogu, a businessman. Although the Xiangzhou Han family was also a civil official who was not easy to talk to in Han Qi's generation, by Han Zhongyan's generation, he had become a member of the Kaifeng Mansion Xungui Group.

In addition, the Han family has another privilege that other nobles do not have, that is, Shizhen Xiangzhou! The position of governor has been passed down for three generations in the hands of the Han family, and it can be passed on for four generations in history. Although the Han family is not a real prince in Xiangzhou, it cannot be compared with the folding family in Shizhen Prefecture. But the ass of the Xiangzhou Han family is impossible to sit opposite the Kaifeng Xungui Merchant Group! As for "local autonomy", it is impossible for the Hanjia in Xiangzhou to oppose it. Otherwise, after slaughtering Jiehe Shang City, it would be the turn of the Han family in Xiangzhou to be stabbed......

Therefore, the two sides now have a common position and common interests, and they are also relatives, so why should they not support each other?

If Han Zhongyan, the prime minister, is replaced by Zhang Shangying or Cai Jing, it will not be of any benefit to Wu Haogu.

Therefore, Wu Haogu, who knew that Han Zhongyan's phase was in danger, was now very worried about his brother's father-in-law!

And the key to determining the attribution of the phase, as far as Wu Haogu knows, is not the likes and dislikes of the Holy Monarch Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is actually pro-old party, Xiang Empress Dowager is the old party, Wang Shu is the old party, Mi Fu is actually the old party, Gao Yu is also the old party, in and out of his hidden mansion characters, there is almost no "new". Only Cai Jing, who belongs to the new party, is more friendly with him.

But in history, Zhao Ji finally embarked on the route of "Shaoshu". The reason for this is nothing more than the word "meritorious service".

If the old party gentleman becomes a stumbling block to Zhao Ji's achievements, then it is inevitable that he will be suppressed and abandoned.

In order to keep Han Zhongyan, it is very important to properly handle the three major events of "the samurai in front of the palace", "the Goryeo-Jurchen war" and "the construction of the Qionglin Palace".

When Han Zhongyan returned to the mansion, he was also a little dizzy. When he went to court today, Zhao Ji asked about the Military Science Department and the punishment of Zhang Dun.

Looking at the attitude of the officials, it seems that they hate Zhang Dian and the Privy Council Military Science Department launched by Zhang Tun. It seems that Zhang Dian should be demoted if he can't get to the post of Zhiyue Prefecture at all, and the Privy Council Military Science Department will also have to close its doors.

This seems to mean that the old party, no, should be a great victory for the non-party gentleman. But why is this gentleman and prime minister still a bare pole? What is the official family's mind? Do you really want to go down the old path of Shaoshu?

When the old prime minister was a little confused, his son, a military attaché, was still in the middle of the election, and Han Pan walked into the study quickly.

"Daddy," Han Pan saluted.

"Juro, have you seen Deong?" Han Zhongyan asked in a low voice.

De Weng is the name of Zuo Zhengyan Ren Boyu, Zuo Zhengyan is a subordinate official of the province under the door, and the right Zhengyan is in charge of enshrinement and recommendation of talents, which is the so-called "speech official and minister". Instead, the rulers of the Song Dynasty generally had to keep a distance from the officials and ministers, so as not to fall into the pretext of "befriending Taiwan".

However, the "speech officials and ministers" are also powerful thugs in the party struggle in the imperial court, and whoever controls the Taiwan admonition will have the initiative in the party struggle and can launch an attack.

At present, although the New Party is spread throughout the imperial court, it still controls the main government offices. However, the Taiwan admonition fell into the hands of the old party, and the officials Chen Qian and Ren Boyu, Yu Shi Fengji, Chen Shixi, Gong Yu and others were almost all figures from the old party - such a situation was of course deliberately arranged by the Empress Dowager and Zhao Ji......

However, the attack of the old party that "owned" the Taiwan admonition now appears to be very weak, and a Zhang Dian fought for nine months before stepping down, and Cai Jing, Cai Bian, and Zhang Shangying, these Zhang Dian henchmen, are not very effective in cracking down, and there is no big charge to press down...... After all, the name of the coming year is the founding of Jingzhong, and the mud is the main keynote, and Taiwan can't be impeached too fiercely, right?

As for Zeng Bu, who strongly supported the Empress Dowager on the issue of supporting Zhao Ji, and Li Qingchen and Zhao Tingzhi, the two bigwigs of the New Party, who were not very popular when Zhang Dian was in power, they have not been attacked so far.

If the party wants to fight like this, I am afraid it will be quite detrimental to the old party!

Therefore, Han Zhongyan has stepped up his contact with Taiwan to discuss countermeasures with them these days. However, he, the prime minister, was not easy to come forward, so he asked his tenth son, Han Peng, to have a secret meeting with Ren Boyu.

"Daddy, Ren Deweng means to impeach Zhang Dun for the crime of accumulating elite soldiers and plotting misdeeds."

"Bad intentions? How can this matter be impeached? What is the evidence? Han Zhongyan asked. The military science of the Military Science Department of the Privy Council was not even in the Kaifeng Mansion boundary, and the Privy Council affairs at that time were Zeng Bu after all, didn't he mean that Zeng Bu and Zhang Dian were plotting against each other? ”

Now that the new party is a bit scattered, Zeng Bu, Li Qingchen, Zhao Tingzhi, and An Tao all looked coldly at the old party's admonition to clean up Zhang Dian and Zhang Tun's people. If the old party concentrates its firepower on bombarding the Privy Council's military science department, then the new party's important ministers will have to fight back, and then the court will quarrel with each other.

Moreover, those junior generals of the Privy Council's Military Science Department were mainly selected from the Western Army, and if they were to be branded as private soldiers, it would inevitably affect the Western Army...... If the Western Army was defeated, the Song Dynasty would be disarmed.

The official family still wants to be a holy monarch, can you agree to this?

Moreover, such a big thing can't be talked about, it has to be based on real evidence.

"Ren Deweng means to arrest Murong and put him in the Imperial Prison!"

"Play the piano!" Han Zhongyan's head shook like a wavy drum, "People have come thousands of miles to vote, and they have wholeheartedly helped us with advice, and also helped train soldiers and educate generals, but we have arrested them and put them in Yushitai Prison......"

"Daddy, Ren Deweng thinks that Murong Wuwu is from a powerful family in the Liao Kingdom, and he doesn't know the rules of the Great Song Dynasty's civil and official fights, so it is very likely that he will ...... will take risks, and when the time comes, it will be realized! ”

"This Ren Deweng ......" Han Zhongyan's eyes widened, "He can't be like this if he is jealous of evil!" really reversed that Murong Forget Worries, this is a military disaster for no reason! And as for those who eat dry rice in the Hebei Forbidden Army, what if they can't beat others? Well, most of them can't beat people!

And the official family will never agree to this matter, the official family is a holy monarch, and they are still waiting for the eight directions to come to the court! ”

The father and son were talking, and suddenly a family member came to report that Wu Haogu had visited.

"Daddy, this martial artist is running to my house very diligently." Han Peng said with a smile.

"Juro, go and invite him in."

"I'm going?" Han Peng was stunned.

If Wu Haowen comes, there is no problem in asking him Han Shigongzi to come forward and ask him. Wu Haowen is a good man who is famous outside the Donghua Gate, and he also has a personal relationship with the official family, and he will be a famous minister in the future.

But Wu Haogu is a fortunate person who has no background......

"Hurry up," Han Zhongyan said, "Don't look at him as a person with no background, but he can help a lot, much better than those who have a background, but they will only help the opposite!" ”

……

"I've seen Xianggong in ancient times."

"Mo Duo is polite," Han Zhongyan waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's not too early, you haven't eaten yet, Dalang?" Just have a light meal at my house and taste the taste of Xiangzhou cuisine. ”

"That's the bother." Wu Haogu is also not polite. Others regard eating with the prime minister as a big deal, but he and the emperor are buddies, and a prime minister who doesn't know when to go to Haizhou is nothing.

"Let's get down to business first." Han Zhongyan said, "Shilang, go and ask the kitchen to get a few more dishes, and then let Jiujiu and Qianqian accompany you."

Da Lang, Jiujiu and Qianqian are beauties in Xiangzhou, if you can see it, take one back. ”

What, the junior of a high-ranking official and a big tiger can also give it away casually like this?

"Thank you for your kindness." Wu Haogu hurriedly thanked him.

He wouldn't ask for Han Zhongyan's concubine, but he had to accept this favor. You can cuckold each other, that shows the relationship iron!

Zhao Ji had asked Wu Haogu to help "deal with" the woman before, that is, he could enjoy it casually. The Spring Lady who was originally in the palace now lives in Gao Yu's mansion again, and obviously has slept with Gao Yu! And the relationship between Mo Niangzi, who nominally followed Wu Haogu, and Zhao Ji is not clear. In addition, Wu Haogu's titular housekeeper Yan Po'er also slept with Zhang Shangying and Han Zhongyan......

Alas, the friendship of the ancients, Wu Haogu still can't fully understand!

"Xianggong," Wu Haogu said, "Then the official will make a long story short, the official means that the Military Academy Department is not in accordance with the rules, and it will be abolished." However, the students in the Military Academy Division are all good, and they have to be in the hands of the henchmen of the official family, and they have to choose a little more such talents, why do they have to have 1,000 iron horses, right? ”

This was not said by Zhao Ji at all, Wu Haogu was pretending to pass on the holy decree......

However, Han Zhongyan believed in Wu Haogu's words very much, because this way of dealing with it distinguished the Military Academy Division from those young elites of the Western Army.

"1000 Iron Riders?" Han Zhongyan said, "Could it be that the official family wants to expand the elite in front of the palace? ”

"That's right," Wu Haogu said, "how many of the cavalry of the front division of the palace can ride and shoot like the officials?" One by one is much worse than the official family, how can the official family look at it?

Moreover, the official family is a holy monarch comparable to Tang Taizong, so it is natural to have an elite like Xuanjia Riding to accompany him. ”

"That's right!" Han Zhongyan touched his beard and thought deeply, "Today's official family is indeed the most heroic monarch since Taizu and Taizong!" My dynasty can have such a king, it is really a blessing for the country and the people! ”

Zhao Ji's literary and martial arts can be compared with Li Shimin, the difference is that Tang Taizong arrested the Turkic Khan to Chang'an, and Zhao Ji let the Jurchens arrest him. But the difference is now invisible......

"What Xiang Gong said is extremely true," Wu Haogu hurriedly echoed, "But if you want to raise an elite like Xuanjia Qi, I'm afraid you can't spend less money." ”

"How much does it cost?" Han Zhongyan asked with a smile.

Wu Haogu stretched out three fingers: "Spend three or four million at most!" ”

"Three or four million? So expensive!? ”
