Chapter 28: Guanjin Qingyun and Tiantong (6)

[This is the second update]

After the ya, as soon as Han Gang left the palace, he went directly to the south of the city.

To be honest, after being tired for two days and one night, he wanted to go home to take a shower and change his clothes and get a good night's sleep. But on Wang Anshi's side, he had to meet first. Otherwise, tomorrow, Wang Anshi will officially take office, and if he wants to visit on weekdays, he will inevitably cause too much discussion - Wang Anshi's important military affairs in Pingzhang are really troublesome for Han Gang.

Before they arrived at the Chengnan Station, Han Gang and his entourage had almost become difficult to move an inch. Who would have thought that not long after Wang Anshi's appointment was announced, Chengnanyi was already a city.

Just looking at the lanterns on the carriage horses, Han Gang saw a lot of familiar surnames, and he also knew who Lu Dao belonged to.

Even though it is a major military matter of Pingzhang without much power, it also means that Wang Anshi, who has been the prime minister twice, has returned to the court. The New Party is like a startled hornet, and of course it is inevitable that it will rise up in groups.

Outside the post house, there were cars and horses parked, and the post house was also overcrowded.

There are a large number of officials in green robes, and there are not a few people dressed in vermilion and purple, and they are as lively as a street market, from the small courtyard where Wang Anshi is staying, all the way to the outer hall of the Chengnan Station.

However, as soon as Han Gang arrived, the post house was suddenly much quieter, but immediately became more noisy. Those who have had a relationship with each other rushed up to say hello, and even those who had never met squeezed up, wanting to leave a name in front of Han Gang.

Han Gang was humble as usual, greeting them one by one, and at the same time asked his companion to report first.

Wang Bi soon came out, and his steps were very big, and the tiger was windy. Han Gang said sorry to the officials who still wanted to have a relationship with him, and Fang followed Wang into the small courtyard.

saw Wang Anshi in the hall, and after saluting and taking a seat, Wang Anshi did not ask Han Gang the details of last night. After retreating from the king's side, he split his head and said: "The Son of Heaven is uneasy, and the country is in turmoil. I don't know what is the current priority in Yukun? ”

"Amnesty, of course!" Han Gang said categorically, "Although the pardon edict for the suburbs to worship the heavens was promulgated yesterday. But in order to pray for the blessing of the Son of Heaven, of course, another amnesty edict must be issued! All the prisoners who are not allowed to be forgiven for all but the ten evils should be included in the scope of the forgiveness. ”

Wang Anshi looked at his son-in-law, not knowing whether Han Gang was joking or serious. Although the amnesty is definitely an extremely important government matter, it is by no means what Wang Anshi wants to ask, and he believes that Han Gang should also understand.

"And what's next?" Wang Anshi asked Han Gang patiently.

"Stabilize people's hearts......" Han Gang looked at Wang Anshi, not going around in circles, "It's up to my father-in-law." If the country is stable, it will not be afraid of foreign aggression. Yelu Yixin wants to pick up the bargain, and he has to rely on his father-in-law's reputation to suppress him. This was also what the Son of Heaven thought when he hoped that his father-in-law would be in danger. ”

Wang Anshi shook his head, "The key is still in the Son of Heaven. Yukun, do you know that King Daojia is ready to go out of Beijing to pray for the Son of Heaven? ”

Han Gang nodded, the Son of Heaven was seriously ill, and the speed of information flow in this imperial city had accelerated suddenly, and he didn't know whether the queen got the news first, or the ears and eyes of the Imperial City Baisi were a little more informed, "I just knew about Lu Dao when I was about to release the government." ”

Wang Anshi leaned forward a little, and his voice was lowered, "Yukun." In this room, the word goes out of your mouth and into my ears, and no third person can hear it. To tell you the truth, what you said last night about the Yaowang Temple in Hebei and Shaanxi has a miraculous effect, but is it a fact? ”

"Zi is silent, and the strange force is confused." Han Gang replied. Although I don't know if this is what the queen wants to ask, or what Wang Anshi wants to ask, it is better to answer honestly. And even if it is clearly a lie, the queen will not be angry when she learns about it. Those few words saved the lives and future of her mother and son.

Wang Anshi was silent, and his expression did not hide the disappointment in his heart. After a while, he let out a long sigh and looked at Han Gang squarely: "Then the prince has to entrust it to Yukun." If the prince is uneasy again, the situation of the court and even the world will be in danger. ”

"If God blesses Emperor Song, it will not be like this." Han Gang still didn't have a word accurately, how could he guarantee the safety of the emperor's heir? Even if there's something wrong, let's pass it.

didn't have the heart to get involved in this topic anymore, he looked at Wang Anshi and asked first: "I don't know how my father-in-law will deal with the prince and master who is going to Beijing?" ”

Wang Anshi has no way to take Han Gang, and he knows that it is useless to force Han Gang, fortunately, his grandson and granddaughter are safe and sound, and none of them died young, from this point of view, Han Gang can still make people feel at ease to hand over the prince to him.

"Sima Junshi? ......" Wang Anshi frowned, he was also the third division of the East Palace, but as long as he was not sent, he would not be a disaster, but after all, he was an old friend, "If he stays in Beijing, he can also compile his "Zizhi Tongjian". It's been more than ten years, and I don't know if his temper has changed. ”

Han Gang smiled: "Father-in-law, you haven't changed, can you still count on Sima Twelve?" ”

“…… Let's talk about it then. You can't let him mess up the country. Wang Anshi sighed softly, "Yukun, you worked hard last night, I'm at this age, what do you have to worry about?" ”

Weng and his son-in-law chatted about the overall situation of the court, but they didn't feel wrong. Although their errands were far from enough to decide the situation, Wang Anshi and Han Gang took it for granted.

Han Gang doesn't need to mention it, he is the prince's master, and he is also a palace scholar who is ready for consultation, and more importantly, he has the trust of the queen, and he has the power to make suggestions on big and small things, and he can even directly participate in court politics by virtue of the queen's trust in him.

And Wang Anshi, with the position he has now obtained, his role is only to be a bilge ballast stone to stabilize the dynasty, but he will not have the opportunity to take charge of the government.

This is indeed the case from the system, and there will be no other possibilities from Zhao Ji's heart. But the power of an official lies not only in the official position under the ass, but also in his own prestige and ability.

When Wang Anshi was the governor of political affairs at the beginning of that year, he was able to grasp the power of the political affairs hall with one hand, and the five 'birth, old age, sickness and death' under the Zhongshu Gate, only Wang Anshi was full of vitality, and the other four people, the old and the sick, the bitter and the bitter, and the angry and dead also had one.

Now that the achievements of the new law are in the eyes of the world, and the emperor is seriously ill and dying, when Wang Anshi, another advocate of the new law, comes back to do the important work of the Pingzhang military state, and the power is concentrated in his hands, it is inevitable. Even if the dispatch in hand did not give him enough power, even if it could only be used for six days, Wang Anshi could still guide the direction of the political situation through his omnipresent influence.

Empress Xiang herself lacks sufficient ability to govern, and Wang Jue has made a big mistake and acted in an extreme direction, as for the other rulers in the two governments, they are not qualified to confront Wang Anshi, even if it is Lu Gongshu, it is far from enough, and Sima Guangcai is about the same - so Han Gang asked a question, and Wang Anshi also gave an extremely decisive reply

In fact, it is also Zhao Ji's fault.

After Wang Anshi's second resignation, most of the high-ranking officials above the two systems appointed by Zhao Ji were obedient courtiers, and the reason why they supported the new law was only because the emperor liked the new law. And it also used a lot of old parties to balance the situation. Lu Huiqing's departure from Beijing was a great blow to the New Party, and it was impossible to support the situation of the New Party by relying only on a Zhang Dan, whose reputation was not good.

As a result, the middle-level officials who belonged to the ranks of the New Party were greatly suppressed for a while, and after Wang Anshi made a comeback, they would naturally move closer to Wang Anshi.

Han Gang is in the mood to have fun with this, anyway, his current focus is not on the court, "That's right." Recently, my son-in-law is going to set up a journal, and I hope that my father-in-law will be able to give me advice. ”

"Periodicals?" Wang Anshi was puzzled, this word was very unfamiliar to him.

"It's like a tabloid in Beijing. However, it is issued on a regular basis, once a quarter. has been discussed with Su Zirong, and the name is "Nature". We collect articles from people in the world who are interested in the way of nature and publish them on them. Han Gang sighed and smiled again, as if he was laughing at himself, "When the little son-in-law was editing the "Compendium of Materia Medica", he had too big a wish at the beginning, and he wanted to classify everything in the world. But there are billions of things in the world, how can a dozen or so people sit in a dark room and make a goal. Recently, the son-in-law has felt that he can't reach it, so he can only find a way to gather the wisdom of everyone and work together to tide over the difficulties. ”

Wang Anshi looked at his son-in-law who was full of vitality in his eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.

This is a face-to-face fight with him, otherwise why is it called "Nature"? But the timing couldn't be better. Even if he commits a little taboo, he will not disgust the emperor and empress.

The father-in-law is a major military matter in Pingzhang, and the son-in-law is the most trusted prince of the heavenly family. Han Gang made it clear that he wanted to raise the banner of Qixue and fight Xinxue to the end, and the queen might be willing to cheer for it.

It's just that Wang Anshi felt a little puzzled. Since Han Gang mentioned what journal he wanted to run, most of them had already made preparations, but the previous suppression of Qi by the Son of Heaven was real, but the current reality happened to be perfectly matched with Han Gang's preparations, could it be said that he had already predicted that this day would not happen? !

Wang Anshi was suddenly startled, and his eyes were completely different when he looked at Han Gang.

If Han Gang could see through Wang Anshi's heart now, he could only smile bitterly. This is a big misunderstanding.

Although the current situation is very favorable to Han Gang, the appearance of the journal "Nature" is even more coincidental. However, taking advantage of the compilation of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", the publication of the journal "Nature" to guide the trend of the world is Han Gang's established policy, which has long been in the planning.

Even if Zhao Ji didn't get sick, he couldn't talk about the Zishantang attendant who had already been set, he was already too partial to Xinxue, and he always had to raise his hand, and it was not good to do things absolutely.

Weng and his son-in-law were relatively speechless for a while, but a member of the Wang family ran in and hurriedly said: "Xianggong, uncle, the second king has a heart disease and is crazy!" ”
