[There is a change to make up for at night.] 】

When he came out of the Funing Palace, Xiang Queen's face was like heavy frost.

Thick-soled palace boots stepped heavily on the dark gold bricks. When her footsteps fell, the accent of a note made the surrounding chamberlains and palace maids tremble violently.

After the ministers left, Empress Xiang still felt that it was inappropriate for Lu Jia to be the prefect of Kaifeng, and Han Jiang and the other Zai Fu did not even have any objections, which was really wrong. For this reason, she did not go to Chongzheng Hall immediately, and deliberately stayed for a while to persuade Zhao Ji, but did not persuade her husband. Zhao Ji insisted on appointing the thief of the Lu family as the prefect of Kaifeng.

The Son of Heaven, who is seriously ill and dying, if she has the support of the Zaifu, even if she is the queen who listens to the government, she will still be easily elevated. Just yesterday, she made a constitution and said that her words were holy decrees, but now she could only walk out of the Funing Hall with resentment.

As soon as he came out of the palace gate, at the corner of the corridor in front of him, two palace beauties hugged each other. When they saw the palace maid with Queen Luan as the leader, they immediately retreated to the side of the road and curtsied to Wanfu Jin'an.

"You're here to say goodbye to the official?" Xiang asked the queen condescendingly.

"Back to the saint, the concubine is here to ask the official family for peace." Concubine Xing and Concubine Song replied in a low voice.

Since the Son of Heaven was dying of stroke, the Queen Mother no longer manages the harem, and the curtain listens to the queen to take charge of the affairs of the palace and the palace, except for Concubine Zhu, the other concubines rarely come to the Funing Palace, just come to say hello in the morning and evening, and spend time honestly in the courtyard where they live every day. But now that the Son of Heaven's condition has improved a little, they have all flocked to the Funing Hall again.

"The official is inside, awake, you go in."

Empress Xiang didn't pay much attention to her sisters, and after saying a few words according to etiquette, she went straight to the Chongzheng Palace. Luan drove past in front of him, Concubine Xing and Song Meiren were relieved, and the younger Song Meiren even breathed a sigh of relief. In just a few words of conversation, the huge pressure from the queen made them almost out of breath. There is a world of difference between being able to manage the harem and having the right to live and kill, and the queen who has the power to listen to the government is the object that their concubines will never dare to anger, and they can only pray for the Son of Heaven to recover soon. Fortunately, in the past two days, we finally saw a ray of light.

Song Yongchen followed closely behind Empress Xiang, peeked at her from the side and back, the tip of his heart trembled a few times, and he hurriedly lowered his head with a pale face and followed along.

The Zaifu have been waiting in the Chongzheng Hall for a while. Chongzheng Hall is different from the court meeting on the Wende Palace, under normal circumstances, the Zaifu have seats, and they can even be given tea soup. It's just that this must be given by the Son of Heaven or the queen and queen who listen to the government, otherwise you have to stand and wait.

Zhang Dun, Cai Qu and the others were exchanging glances, they didn't know the exact reason why Lu Dao stayed with the queen, but they could imagine it. Seventy or eighty percent of them may fall on the new candidates of the previous Kaifeng prefect.

Han Jiang could naturally guess the reason for the queen's delay, and several people in the palace were observing his reaction, but he looked at his nose and nose and mouth, and did not show a flaw on the surface.

There was a sound of footsteps behind the palace, but the sound of tuk-tuk footsteps was familiar, but the rhythm of walking was very strange, and people with clear minds could naturally hear that Her Royal Highness the Queen should be extremely irritable.

Empress Xiang sat down behind the screen, and looked at Prime Minister Han Jiang's eyes through the thin plain screen. The impression left by Wang Qi on her was so bad that even the obedient and obedient prime minister made her extremely angry.

Loyal ministers often have many acts of advice, but they will never obey the will of the Son of Heaven in everything. In the old days, Wei Zheng disobeyed Tang Taizong, and let Li Shimin return to the harem with the intention of killing this 'Tian Sheweng' to vent his anger, but Empress Changsun changed into court clothes and bowed to Tang Taizong to congratulate a virtuous minister. The virtuous queens of all dynasties knew that they should advise the emperor not to be confused by villains, and to listen to the objections of the ministers. She has only a simple understanding in her heart, and those who obey the orders of the Lord in everything must be traitors. After Wang Jue's incident, this understanding became even more deep-rooted. Empress Xiang trusted Han Gang so much, it was because Han Gang insisted on the emperor's death and saved her mother and son, which was the act of a loyal minister.

"The official family appointed Lu Jiawen as the prefect of Kaifeng, what is your opinion?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned Lu Jiawen's appointment to the queen. Cai Qu's eyes suddenly lit up, and Han Jiang's tense shoulders also relaxed. The empress's resentment of the arbitrary appointment of the Son of Heaven was by no means a bad thing for them. I thought it would take a while for the queen to reveal the proposition in her heart, but who knew that Lu Dao would be so fast?

"There is no objection to the minister."

"The minister has no objection."

"Although Lu Jiawen has shallow qualifications, he is also the governor of Shangzhou, and he can also be sent with a right to send him."

Several of the governors of the Eastern Mansion voted in favor one after another, which made the anger in the heart of the empress, who had seen many courtiers singing against each other for several months, even more angry.

In terms of prestige, Lu Jiawen is far from enough. However, he is very talented, and in recent years, he has had the most lessons in the local performance appraisal, otherwise Wang Pingzhang would not have relied on him as a helper in the past. Competent. Cai concluded later.

This is to set up Wang Anshi, and it is impossible for Wang Anshi to say that Cai is indeed wrong. And he really needs Lu Jia to ask back. Zhao Ji chose Lu Jiawen as the prefect of Kaifeng, obviously to help Wang Anshi, and also let the power in Wang Anshi's hands be transformed into control of the court situation. If there is no powerful henchman to help, it can also be hollowed out by the two governments.

Wang Anshi's face became very ugly in an instant, but the black-skinned Wang Pingzhang's face became darker, and no one could see it.

"Lu Jiawen is indeed a talent." He said something dryly, but said no more.

"I remember that Lu Jiawen was in charge of the city of Tokyo in the old days. In those two years, the prices in the capital were not much more expensive, and there were many grievances, and even a few days later, some clans entered the palace to cry! ”

Empress Xiang asked Lu Jia this person very clearly, when Xining was six or seven years old, Wang Anshi's generals, among the most scolded people, one of the people Lu Jia asked. Food and goods are the most important matter of people's livelihood, after the price of goods in the capital rose, even though the culpability fell on a cadre of clan relatives because of the grain merchant case, Lu Jia asked the person in charge of the city's Yi Division must have been scolded the most.

"Isn't there a more suitable talent in the imperial court?! All walks of life in the world, so many transit envoys, pacification envoys, and so many prefects and governors in various state capitals, prefer to choose one with many grievances! The official family is in chaos, and everyone eats Junlu, don't you know that Lu Dao wants to come out to advise? ”

He questioned the queen angrily, his hands clutched the back of the chair, and his fair face turned bright red.

There is no one to talk to, and it is indeed a good thing that the queen has a mustard in her heart for the appointment of the Son of Heaven, but she can't make too much trouble, it will be a bad thing. It's just that whoever goes up now will be scolded back by the queen.

Through the screen, Empress Xiang couldn't see where the Zaisuke's gaze landed. But Han Gang, who has become the target of everyone, knows that he must answer this sentence.

He stepped forward, "Your Highness." When it comes to the court, it is indeed a great talent to be more qualified than Lu Jiawen, and Lu Jiawen's talent can indeed be suitable for the position of Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion. Han Gang said earnestly, "Your Highness, this appointment was drafted by the Son of Heaven after all. The Son of Heaven is just recovering from his illness, and he should be obedient. In case there is a thoughtless place in the day, His Royal Highness and the princes of the two prefectures can make up for the shortcomings. ”

Han Gang stood up, and Xiang Queen's anger was slightly retracted, no matter what, it was inconvenient for her to be angry at Han Gang. It's just that she looked at a few ministers suspiciously, whether Han Gang had held them hostage.

"If everything is flattered to the will of the official, isn't that the act of a traitor? How different from Wang Jue. ”

Wang Jue is really finished. When Han Gang heard this, this thought came to his heart, in the queen's heart, he was a traitor cast of iron, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to turn over in the future.

However, his words did not delay, and his tone was more sincere: "It's not that everything is according to the order of the Son of Heaven. It's just that it's not about the importance of the military state, and such an innocuous life is from the heart. ”

What Han Gang said can be regarded as a doctor's order. When the patient is in a good mood, the disease can get better quickly, which is a universal truth. Xiang pondered for a long time, and nodded after the last round.

"And let it have the right to send Kaifeng to the government."

Before the Empress was removed from power, the power in the hands of the Emperor was procedurally in her hands. If Xiang Xiang insisted on not stamping and signing on Lu Jiawen's book, the Zai Fu had no other way than to force her to return the big government-they couldn't always learn from Han Qi and get the queen drunk and fool her to sign and draw a seal. Now nodding to the queen in approval, Lu Jiawen has finally crossed the threshold of serving as the prefect of Kaifeng.

The queen was relieved, and the Zaifu were also relieved. Cai Qu's eyes turned on Han Gang, and he was the only one who could speak best in front of the queen. That's really ...... Cai Qu's heart couldn't help but rise with a deep jealousy and jealousy.

Empress Xiang reluctantly agreed to this appointment, but she immediately remembered something again, "Now that the situation in the northwest is unknown, if there is anything wrong with the military situation at the border pass, what should it be?" ”

"If there is good news, it should be reported to the Son of Heaven." The intention is to say that if there is any bad news, you can't rashly say it to the emperor, everything should be focused on Zhao Ji's body, but Han Gang still said it clearly, "As for the murderous letter, His Royal Highness should be punished first, and then report it to the Son of Heaven when the time comes, so as not to be anxious and hurt." ”

Han Gang's words, when studied deeply, were close to rebellion, but none of the Zaifu stood in opposition to it. Regardless of whether they conspired with Zhang Dian and Cai Qu, their minds were exactly the same. The emperor can send them into the two provinces at will, and naturally he can kick them out of the two mansions with a word. And the empress, who has just taken over the government, needs their support to maintain control of the court and the country.

Xiang Empress thought about it for a long time, and felt that what Han Gang said was still reasonable. I have a husband and wife relationship with the official family, and I am one. Now that the power is the same as the government, the power of the monarch is on behalf of the king, and he is listening here, as long as the courtiers report all the affairs of the court to themselves, they cannot be regarded as deceiving the king. As for the official family, of course, it is now to recuperate with peace of mind, and when the illness is cured, there will not be so many taboos.

Han Gang glanced at Wang Anshi, who was as silent as a stone, wondering if his father-in-law would leak Fang Cai's words to Zhao Ji? I'm afraid it's hard to decide!
