Chapter 31: Stopping the Clouds and Listening to the Song (6)
The right to know Kaifeng Mansion.
As the magistrate of the best place in the world, he naturally has a very special position on the political map of the court, and its importance goes without saying.
From the most intuitive point of view, the number of faces of the Kaifeng prefect is second only to Zaizhi, and it is about the same as the Hanlin bachelors in the imperial history and the private Hanlin of the Son of Heaven. In terms of authority, the government affairs, criminal names, transshipment, and military affairs of Gyeonggi 1st Road have jurisdiction over Kaifeng Prefecture, and at least they also have the right to senate - there are four major supervisors in charge of the authority of the road, such as Shuai Si Pacification, Cao Si Transshipment, Cangsi Changping, and Xian Si Ti Sentencing, but in Gyeonggi, there is only one right to know Kaifeng Prefecture.
If you really want to think about it, the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister can also be said to be under the rule of the Kaifeng prefect.
This is a pro-people official in the capital who can communicate inside and outside.
Otherwise, Kaifeng Mansion Yin would not be synonymous with the crown prince at the beginning of the founding of the country, so that after Zhenzong, no courtier could get the official position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and could only serve as a lower-level Zhikaifeng Mansion, or even a lower-level power-based Kaifeng Mansion.
Therefore, Qian Zao is almost certain to leave office, and who will take over is a very important issue in the court.
"Qian Zao's hands and feet are so fast, the bullet seal of the Yushitai has not been handed over yet, and he has already been on the table to participate." When they stepped into the East Pavilion outside the Chongzheng Hall side by side, Zhang Dian whispered to Han Gang.
"What else can I do? Someone has to come out and get boarded! Han Gang actually didn't like this result very much, but this is also the rule of officialdom: "He, the prefect of Kaifeng, was originally going to bear the black pot, whether it was Qian Junlao's responsibility or not, if such a big thing happened, he had to give an explanation to the capital." What's more, the queen was already worried about the suburbs, how could he dare not go? β
The military conflict on the northwestern frontier did not subside because of the New Year's Festival, and Han Gang and Zhang Dian were still not idle. On the first day of the first lunar month, it is not easy to ignore political affairs, but on the second day of the first month, you have to enter the palace to discuss matters. However, the two arrived at the Chongzheng Hall relatively early, and the Zaifu had not yet arrived, so they only saw one Cai Qu, so they could only wait in the East Pavilion dedicated to the ministers. When everyone arrived, they went to the Funing Hall to greet each other first, and then came back to discuss the matter.
"Because there were no casualties in a fire, Qian Yulao is probably relieved." Together with Han Gang, Zhang Dian saluted Cai Qu, who came over from afar, and still didn't stop: "It's time for the prefect of Kaifeng to change." β
The guards stood far away outside, Zhang Dian didn't avoid people when he spoke, Cai Qu's ears were also pointed, but he heard it, and said with a smile after returning the salute: "Are you talking about Qian Alcohol?" β
"yes, I'm saying he's unlucky this time." Zhang Dian replied and asked Han Gang: "Who does Yukun think is better to take over?" β
"This matter is something that Han Gang can talk about?" Han Gang immediately asked rhetorically.
Zhang Dian smiled knowingly.
Han Gang's psychology of self-preservation is very heavy now. is not from Xifuzhong, but meddles in military affairs, even if there is a good reason, but everyone is already looking sideways, where do you dare to meddle in such an important personnel appointment? I don't know how many people are holding a small notebook and keeping an account, waiting for a few years or even more than ten years to turn it over.
"Actually, it's not a bad thing to change people." Cai Qu smiled and said, "The Son of Heaven is about to rise, Wang Jiefu is about to calm down the military and state affairs, and there are capable people to appease the Jingshi, and the court will be able to settle down a little." β
Zhang Dian bowed his head slightly, but Han Gang didn't think so. Except for Zeng Bu's beard being burned out, this fire is really not a good thing.
Han Gang felt that Qian Zao's resignation at this time was equivalent to cutting down another pillar on the foundation that had just been stabilized. Qian Zao is not a new party, but he acts calmly, and the court is really in chaos, which is absolutely unfavorable to the Zaifu. But even the same thing, from different perspectives, is completely different.
Han Gang looked at the expressions of Cai Qu and Zhang Tun, and then heard Cai Qu's words, it seemed that they saw an opportunity to suppress Wang Anshi, "Is there already a ......" As soon as Han Gang's question came out, he was immediately alert and cut off.
But it was too late, Cai did try his best to suppress his laughter: "Yukun didn't hold back after all!" β
Han Gang shook his head with a wry smile, anyone who came would want to ask more.
Chatting a few private words is a good way to get closer to the relationship, although Han Gang is very wary of Cai Cheng, he also has to admit that Cai Cheng's method of communicating with each other is indeed very effective.
"Who is it?" Han Gang no longer shies away from taboos.
Zhang Dun didn't hide it from him: "It's Wang Hefu." β
Wang Anli?!
Han Gang's eyes suddenly widened, and he was taken aback, they couldn't figure it out!
Is this preparing not to let Wang Anshi speak?
"Unexpected?" Zhang Dian said with a smile.
Han Gang sighed helplessly: "Then you don't need to say!" β
Although he didn't know when Zhang Dian and Cai did get in touch, their ideas were indeed very unexpected.
No matter what the Son of Heaven said or what his plans were, he planned to borrow Wang Anshi's prestige and status, but it was already clearly on the table. Next, if Zhao Ji gets his wish, Wang Anshi will inevitably interfere in military and political affairs in a big way, and let the Zai Fu stand on both sides.
Wang Anli is Wang Anshi's younger brother. When Wang Anli became the prefect of Kaifeng, Wang Anshi had to avoid suspicion in many things. Letting Wang Anshi continue to do the important affairs of the Pingzhang military state without doing anything is the most beneficial situation for all the rulers, including Han Gang.
Han Gang secretly rejoiced, fortunately, no one nominated him. Otherwise, with his ready-made son-in-law, there is no need to rush back from Wang Anli, who has just been driven out. Just let Han Gang go and fight his father-in-law in the ring.
But no one dared to nominate themselves.
When Bao Zheng served as the prefect of Kaifeng, he was only a Longtu Pavilion attendant, and then he was promoted to a straight bachelor. And Han Gang is now a senior minister. He pushed the governor and the privy deputy envoy, who would dare to give him an ugly look with a Kaifeng prefect?
Cai Qu and Zhang Dian waited for Han Gang's answer, although Han Gang was obviously unwilling to meddle in the affairs of the court, but there were some things that would be convenient to get his support.
Han Gang pondered for a while, but sighed softly: "The Son of Heaven's condition has just improved, and the queen is happy." β
Cai Qu's face changed slightly, and the implication of Han Gang's words was to make Zhao Ji feel happy, and the queen would not want to see someone disobey the will of the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven wants to appoint someone, it is best not to come up.
Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, you look at me, I look at you, and I have deep doubts in my heart. Could it be that Han Gang already knew what Zhao Xuan said to Wang Anshi on the eve of the Dao? can talk about temperament, Wang Anshi should not leak it to his son-in-law.
Han Gang could see the question in the eyes of the two, and shook his head again, of course not. Wang Yi only returned today, and he didn't come to visit, so where could he know what Lu Dao said.
But why don't they want to think about how stubborn Wang Anshi's temper is? If Zhao Ji is sincere and trusting, how can he care about Wang Anli being the prefect of Kaifeng? If Wang Anshi really doesn't care about it, what can the princes of the two governments do with him? Is it impossible to impeach in this book? Or do they have other plans? Han Gang looked at Cai Qu and then at Zhang Dian, with the intelligence of the two of them, it was inevitable that they would have a backhand.
Cai Qu, it must have been Cai Qu's suggestion. Han Gang can also assert. It should have been very late when he was notified, probably the last, otherwise he would have been informed of the matterβwhich was more important, and he would not have been confused. Han Gang glanced at Cai Qu, his brows furrowed slightly, this one is very profound!
"What does Yukun think?" Zhang Dian glanced out quickly, and then asked.
"In terms of doctors, let the patient have everything as he wishes." No matter what they do, Han Gang still feels that his idea is better.
"Everything?!" Cai did raise his voice.
Han Gang's response was very affirmative: "Everything! β
Cai Qu and Zhang Dian glanced at each other and sat down in contemplation.
The Zai Fu arrived one after another, and when Wang Anshi also arrived, Han Gang and Zhang Dian went over to talk to him.
Han Gang thought that the tacit understanding between Zhang Dian and Cai Qu to recommend Wang Anli only existed between the two of them, but Cai Gang chatted together after saluting Zhang Qi, and it seemed that he had hooked up with him. It's really a skill, Han Gang sighed in his heart, even Zhang Qi was pulled into the water, and I don't know when they got in touch and prepared to push Wang Anli to the throne together.
One prime minister, one privy councillor, and one more politician are enough to push Wang Anli to return to Beijing to take office. As long as they propose, the other rulers will definitely understand their ideas, and basically they will not agree with them, and they will not oppose them.
But what surprised Han Gang the most was that Han Jiang was also pulled and said for a while, how did Cai do it? Han Gang was amazed. This almost made him ignore Zengbu.
Zeng Shenzheng, who had just experienced the fire, also arrived, but he became pale and beardless - in fact, it can't be described as white, Zeng Bu is short and thin, and his complexion is only slightly better than Wang Anshi. When he and Han Jiang, who were tall and thin, came in side by side, Han Gang immediately had a picture of the turtle and crane prolonging the New Year in his mind - there were a few not obvious scars on his face, and the official clothes were new, and it was estimated that he had been given it yesterday.
When everyone arrived, all the ministers in the cabinet went to the Funing Hall together.
In the dormitory, Zhao Ji's face seemed to have improved again today. Seeing the ministers kneeling down to worship and asking for their well-being, he drew a good picture on the sand table with his fingers very smoothly.
According to the usual rules, it was time to return to the Chongzheng Hall at this time, but Han Jiang opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, Your Highness." He saluted Zhao Weihe to the empress, "Qian Zao asked for his resignation on the Chinese New Year's Eve fire improperly on the table, how to deal with it, the ministers and others did not dare to be arbitrary, and asked His Majesty to show it." β
Xiang didn't expect Han Jiang to mention this matter in the dormitory. However, the candidate for the Kaifeng prefect, even after she discussed it with Zaifu, she would come back to discuss it with Zhao Ji. Therefore, she didn't care about it and sat down to wait for her husband's opinion.
Wang Anshi was also a little surprised, but he didn't care much about it either, it was just a normal phenomenon. The emperor's condition has improved, and of course some people will come back as courtiers.
Zhao Ji listened to the inquiry, his eyes seemed to light up, and he drew words with his fingers, "What is the meaning of Pingzhang?" β
Wang Anshi replied: "Qian Zao Jingshi has been working for two years, and there is nothing to blame, but the snow and fire have been disasters recently, and his people are not properly arranged, so it is not appropriate to be the prefect of Kaifeng." β
Several Zai Zhiming will know in their hearts, Wang Anshi's Chinese New Year's Eve will inevitably be taught by the Son of Heaven, if it was a few days ago, Wang Anshi would never open this mouth.
After getting Wang Anshi's reply, Zhao Ji no longer asked the prime minister and the ruling minister, and directly drew words: "Accurate resignation." β
"Commandment." After Han Jiang received the order, he asked again, "Dare to ask who His Majesty's subordinates want to succeed?" β
Zhao Ji paused for a while, and his fingers fell on the sand table: "Lu Jia asked how?" β
It was an unexpected candidate. Speaking of which, I haven't noticed the name in years. It was a New Party cadre who had a dispute with the betrayed Zeng Bu back then, and the last two went out together. In terms of qualifications, it is far from enough. Even Wang Anli and Sun Gu are more likely than him to be surprised.
Normally, there should be some disputes, but Han Jiang took the lead and bowed down: "The minister's decree." β
Queen Xiang's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Han Jiang suspiciously, another three-purpose prince?
