[Second Update.] The third watch is just behind. 】

At the time of the first shift, Zhang Dian was in Wang Anshi's mansion.

Although it is said that it is not convenient for the governor of the Western Mansion to visit the important affairs of the Pingzhang military state, it is forbidden for the two governors to move around each other. But first, Wang Anshi has resigned, only waiting for the approval of the imperial court, and second, it is Empress Taishang who is now in power, so there is no need to worry about the Yushitai being bad.

And the most important thing is that Zhang Dian has now been arranged as a channel for communication between the two governments and Wang Anshi, and the court must notify Wang Anshi if it is decided, so as not to cause chaos due to poor communication. In that case, it will only be a group of people below who want to replace the two provinces.

"Regarding the arrangements between Jifu and Yukun, I have already discussed with Zihua and Zhengxiang."

Zhang Dian said to Wang Anshi that before he came, he had already discussed with Han Jiang and Cai Qu in the palace in a hurry, and the location of Lu Huiqing and Han Gang should be decided as soon as possible.

"Is it a Xuanhui envoy?" Although Wang Anshi was asking, his tone was very determined. There will be no other possibilities.

There are only a few positions that can be arranged for the two of them, and if they are not given to Xuanhui envoys, can they still be given the positions of Zhongtai First Palace Envoy or Jingde Palace Envoy? They haven't reached the time to retire yet.

Zhang Dian nodded, Wang Anshi guessed this result and did not surprise him: "Ji Fu is the envoy of the Southern Xuanhui Academy, and Yukun is the envoy of the Xuanhui Northern Academy." ”

"What about the original Wang Junzhen and Zhang Andao?"

"Wang Gongchen added the school master and reverted to the envoy of the first palace of the middle Tai, and Zhang Fangping was the first palace of the West Tai."

The Xuanhui envoy has its function: 'The subordinates of the general consul and the three classes of internal servants, and the ceremonies of suburban rituals, court meetings, and banquets should be enshrined inside and outside, and their names should be inspected. That is, the chief of the palace departments, and in charge of the files of the three classes of chamberlains, and then there are miscellaneous matters such as suburban rituals, court ceremonies, and inspection of utensils. However, depending on the situation, it may not be in charge.

Its status is slightly the same as that of the government. Military attachés can do it, and civil ministers can also do it, but most of them are civilian officials. There are also examples of taking up this post after leaving office. In addition, it is either the old veteran who gave the old qualifications but almost did not enter the two provinces. or a relative who is trusted by the Son of Heaven. If it is a member of the Que, it is generally a privy deputy concurrently. In fact, it is the kind of errand that is dispensable in court affairs, but can arrange important ministers.

Empress Wen Cheng Zhang of Renzong in the old years once wanted to ask for a Xuanhui envoy for her uncle Zhang Yaozuo. Emperor Renzong proposed several times in front of the emperor, but each time he was rejected by the ministers. Once, Empress Wen Cheng reminded Renzong not to forget before the morning dynasty - 'Fu Bei said: Don't forget the Xuanhui envoy today. Renzong agreed-'Shang said: Yes. ’。 But when he mentioned it in the court, he was pushed back by Bao Zheng again, and saliva sprayed on Renzong's face - 'Da Chen is indispensable, repeating hundreds of words, spitting out anger, and spitting on the emperor's face'. When Renzong returned to the palace, Empress Wen Cheng asked again, and Renzong finally had a seizure, pointing his finger at his face, "Diancheng spoke forward and spit in my face." You just want to make a Xuanhui envoy and a Xuanhui envoy, don't you know that Bao Zheng is the imperial historian? This is how precious it is.

Now, at the age of nineteen, Wang Gongchen, who was the champion and the first, and Zhang Fangping, the former governor of the imperial history, are respectively serving as the envoys of the north and south of Xuanhui, and the time is not short, so it is just right for Han Gang and Lu Huiqing to replace the two of them respectively.

Wang Anshi quietly listened to the arrangement of the two governments, and did not say anything, but asked: "I remember that there was an edict in the ninth year of Xining, and Xuanhui made the class order as a signatory. Lu Jifu is the privy envoy, the head of the Western Mansion, and now he is in command of the Western Army, breaking the Northern Liao and recovering Lingwu, but it is regarded as signing the Privy Council, isn't it meritorious and degraded? How will we inspire future generations to be loyal and diligent to the country in the future? ”

In the old days, the status of the Xuanhui envoy was equivalent to the governor's affairs, the deputy privy envoy and the same knowledge of the privy council. It was not until the fourth year of Xining that it was stipulated that under the participation in politics, the cardinal deputy and the same knowledge, but as long as he went to the palace, he still stood in the train of the two governments, which was equivalent to signing the Privy Council.

"Zihua and Zhizheng are ready to write to the Empress Taishang, please issue a special decree, so that when Lu Jifu joins the class, he will be above the affairs of the Privy Council." Zhang, who knew the affairs of the Privy Council, said unconcernedly.

The Prime Minister, the Privy Envoy, the Privy Councillor, the Governor of the Council, and the Privy Vice-Minister, this is the order of the two governments. As long as Zhang Duan doesn't mind, Empress Taishang can give Lu Huiqing a decent one. I don't know how many such edicts have been promulgated over the years, but they only appease those senior ministers who have not been able to take up high positions.

It's just a matter of face, Zhang Dian didn't take it to heart, and added: "Yukun is too, and he is on the Privy Council. ”

"Just don't let it be a story."

It's just a matter of ranking, and some people may care about it, but Zhang Dian will only find it funny. The power in your hands is what matters, what is a little fame? It's a little cheap in etiquette, and you can get two steps closer to the Son of Heaven, but what else? Where can it compare to the length of Xifu who holds real power?

"Pingzhang doesn't have to worry either. It's hard to say that Lu Jifu is there, most of the Yukun department will be able to write, and they will not take advantage of that. ”

Wang Anshi nodded silently.

If Han Gang refuses to accept the special order to change the class order, then Lu Huiqing will not accept it, and it will be troublesome at that time. However, this is to persuade Lu Huiqing to accept the arrangement, with Lu Huiqing's character, this is really difficult to say.

"What about the difference?" Wang Anshi asked again.

"Ji Fu is the judgment of the Daimyo Mansion, and he is also in charge of the soldiers and horses of Hebei. As for Yukun......"

Zhang Dian smiled, no need to say more. Although Han Gang is in Beijing, he has no intention of taking up a real position, he just wants to carry forward his qi science, so let him continue to be a teacher. Continue to fight in the ring with Wang Anshi. The two sons-in-law don't seem to take their official positions to heart.

It's about looking to the future, not about the moment.

Since Han Gang has shown such an attitude, of course the rest of Zaifu will not be embarrassed by him, no matter what kind of achievements Han Gang can achieve with his arrangement at this time in the future, but now that he is not fighting, it is necessary to provoke such an enemy?

Maybe in the future, Han Gang can rely on his fame, status, and even place of origin to gradually incorporate many scholars under his disciples, and even add another Mingdao department in addition to the Ming Law Department in the future, but the future will be talked about later. If you want to have a headache, it is also Wang Anshi's pain.

Wang Anshi has also been silent for a long time, and the prime minister recruits a son-in-law, and the more talented he is, the more uneasy he is. Fu Bi and Feng Jingjing are examples, and they are confused.

After a long while, he asked Zhang Dian again: "Have these few things been reported to the Empress Taishang?" ”

Zhang Dian shook his head: "Not yet, tomorrow it will be mentioned by Zihua and the two ministers to Queen Taishang." Whether you agree or not, it depends on the mind of Queen Taishang. If there are other arrangements, we will talk about it then. ”

It is normal for the high-level personnel arrangements of the imperial court to be discussed by the Zaifu. However, it is not appropriate to directly say which one should be the officer. Empress Taishang gave an opinion, and after Empress Taishang replied, the east and west governments will make a decision. This is already much better than Zhao Ji's dictatorship in the past, and the Zai Fu don't want to continue to make inches for the time being. If you are too aggressive, even if you are very happy, the danger is in it, and sooner or later you will make a big mess and get into trouble. Give the necessary respect to the Empress Taishang, but it is indispensable.

In addition, Zhang Dian has already written a recital, to discuss the merits of the Western Regions, and to praise Wang Zhongzheng. There is no reason for Queen Xiang not to agree, and her promotion to the Hexi Festival will definitely be settled. In addition, Zhang Dian also wanted to transfer Liu Zhongwu and Li Xin back to the capital, whether it was the inner city or the outer city, there were places to arrange for them-the Beijing camp must be gradually rectified, so that no one dared to disagree--these two people had been under his command, and their talents and courage were not to be said, and they could be relied on when necessary.

Li Xin had merit first, and then he had a success, attacking Liao and defeating, and then Guo Kui took the lead and gave him a chance to change - if it weren't for Han Gang behind him, how could he be guilty of meritorious service - and a little meritorious service, but on the whole, it can't be compared with the generals in Hedong and Shaanxi. Now in one fell swoop, he has been reduced to the lowest deputy envoy of the supply and reserve treasury among the envoys. Han Gang has retired now, and giving his cousin a chance can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.

But there is no need to explain these things to Wang Anshi in detail.

"Yukun, are you going to set up a firearms bureau?" After taking two sips of tea, Wang Anshi asked again.

"Yes." Zhang Duan nodded.

"Yukun also said that it is a militaristic heavy weapon that is better than the thunderbolt cannon. Yukun's personality, you and I both know, never lie about it. It can be seen that it is not under the plate armor and the bow of the divine arm. It is necessary to be strictly guarded. There is too little one conductor. ”

Zhang Dian listened quietly, waiting for Wang Anshi to turn to the topic.

"Lu Jifu once wrote a letter to the old man, and he also mentioned firearms in the letter." Wang Anshi said leisurely, watching the look of surprise flash on Zhang Dan's face, "And also said that gunpowder is very dangerous, and a workshop should be set up in an open place." To arrange for a part to be outside the city, it must be guarded by competent men. ”

Zhang Dian didn't expect that Lu Huiqing would also use any firearms, could it be that they were discovered in the army at the same time, or was there any recent invention in the ordnance prison, which was detected by the eyes and ears of the two in the prison.

However, Wang Anshi didn't say anything about the Firearms Bureau, Zhang Dian finally understood this: "Who does Pingzhang like?" ”

"Li Xin."

Zhang Dian was stunned: "Li Xin?!" ”

"Li Xin is talented and virtuous, and he is rare to be a good general, but he is unlucky."

Wang Anshi rarely praised the general, and Zhang Dian nodded: "It is indeed luck." Since Pingzhang is also optimistic about him, then Zhang Dian will go back to ask Empress Taishang to transfer Li Xin back. ”

The newly established Firearms Bureau, of course, will let Su Song take care of it. Han Gang just made an opinion, since he didn't hold a substantive position, he could only hand it over to Su Song, who replaced him. The specific charter is that Zhang Dian also knows what to do, and takes a few official positions to make a reward there. A martial artist from the ninth rank can make those masters break their heads. Success shouldn't be hard.

When Han Gang's new firearms are successfully developed, Li Xin will be able to earn back some face with this credit. Leads the army to guard the Firearms Bureau, one is the guard, and the other can also be used as an auxiliary.

Wang Anshi wanted to compensate him a little because he stopped Han Gang's recommendation?

Zhang Dian didn't plan to think about it, Wang Bian walked in at this time and whispered a few words to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi raised his head and said to Zhang Dan, "It's hopeful." ”
