Chapter 39: Returning the Rain to the Sunny Counsel (15)

[I can't explain anything, but the promise will be fulfilled.] This is the first update. 】

Zhao Tingzhi didn't see Han Gang and his Yuan Sui at the palace gate.

A famous ruler entered the palace in front of him, and Wang Anshi and Han Gang never appeared.

Han Gang really insisted on resigning.

The previous rumors were confirmed. In front of Xuande Gate, many officials were talking in vague words.

But the important thing is that Han Gang resigned for nothing. What is going on with Han Gang's resignation? Zhao Tingzhi listened to no matter how much news he heard, he couldn't get a reasonable explanation.

After supporting the new emperor to ascend the throne, the original attack on Han Gang could be completely erased.

Some people may speculate that Han Gang is just pretending to be and waiting for the queen to stay. The above table of resignation does not necessarily mean that you really want to resign, most of the time, you just want to express your attitude and ask the Son of Heaven to give an explanation. But Qi Xue seeks truth and truth. Truth comes from truth, and actions must also be true and unfalse. If Han Gang did that, the reputation he had accumulated over the years would be over.

More people believe that Han Gang has the merit of supporting the establishment, and the reason why he still resigns is because he misjudged the emperor's illness.

The sentence that the queen harmed me also spread very widely, but no one in the market dared to talk about it publicly, but it was circulated at first, and it soon disappeared. But whether people come home or not is that another story.

Whether this is the truth or not, the world swears by it, but Zhao Tingzhi has deep doubts.

Now, only the resignation of Wang Anshi and Han Gang Weng's son-in-law is an undoubted fact, and no one will come out to confirm the rest of the truth.

"How could the imperial court say that the emperor was sick?" Zhao Tingzhi pointed to his heart yesterday and sighed to his colleague Li Gefei, "It's too late to cover up." ”

A patient who can only communicate with the outside world by eyelids and fingers, trying to diagnose whether he is crazy or not, no famous doctor is useless. Only those around you know best. Empress Taishang said that the Emperor Taishang was crazy, so it was really crazy. Which courtier can still go up and hold grievances for the emperor?

In this matter, even if it is the imperial history that can be heard, he does not dare to get too deep. The inheritance of the throne is a matter of wealth and life, but it is not something that can be happy on the lips.

The banner of Zhangdun is approaching the imperial city.

Riding a tall and healthy horse, he knew that the Privy Council was patrolling the crowd with his eyes.

In front of the Xuande Gate, the three or five officials gathered together, and the imperial history, which was supposed to rectify the order, turned a blind eye to it.

When he approached, the officials who had not yet entered the door looked over, but after seeing their identities clearly, they all turned back.

Seeing this scene, how could Zhang Dian not know what was going on in Lu Dao?

After all, there is a difference between high and low, and the information that can be learned is far from the same.

The change in the throne has brought about a big change in the government, that is, the fools and fools in the market can know what happened to the road, but if they want to know what the road is for, even the officials in the court may not be qualified. All kinds of rumors will confuse the truth to the point that people cannot tell the truth, and without reliable sources, speculation will become far from the truth.

The people only know that Han Gang was wrong about the emperor's illness, coupled with the previous attack, and then resigned, Wang Anshi's resignation was also due to guilt;

Ordinary court officials, they knew that Su Song's ascension to the throne was a quid pro quo for Han Gang's resignation, which shows that it was not to blame, but the result of Wang Anshi and the two governments joining forces;

The ministers with higher status are more aware of Han Gang's status in the queen's heart, with the support of the queen, Han Gang will also resign, the pressure given by the two governments can be imagined, there will be no room for negotiation, as for Su Song, it is the two governments that take the initiative to show goodwill, not an exchange;

Only the people in the two mansions who have long become grasshoppers on the same line know that Han Gang took the initiative to resign without being forced by anyone, Wang Anshi's resignation was self-blame, and Su Song's position was Han Gang's reward for pulling down Lu Huiqing;

And Zhang Dian knows best, Han Gang's resignation is for a more important goal in his heart, and the official position is not in his eyes, which is something that other Zaifu can't understand, all of them think it's an excuse, and at most they only think it's a small part of the reason.

Speculation is just speculation after all, and the discussion of outsiders will not have any impact in any case, and it is just a matter of trying to make a good statement, and most people have nothing to do with the changes in the clouds.

It is only at the level of Zhangdun that it is closely related. Wang Anshi and Han Gang resigned one after another, and they will not re-enter the court in a short time. In the Western Mansion, Xue Xiang's right to speak is much smaller than that of Zhang Dan, and Su Song, who is not in a good position of power, is always better than his colleagues who like to fight for power and profit.

Thinking about it, he crossed his horse into the imperial city.

………………

Zhao Xu sat in front of him and lowered a curtain to the queen.

Wang Anshi is not there, Han Gang is not there, and the number of people in the Chongzheng Hall has become smaller than before, but there will soon be one more Su Song.

Su Song entered the Western Mansion instead of Han Gang, and Empress Xiang had some opinions.

I have contacted Su Song to the queen, but the number of times is not much, and I have some understanding, but it cannot be regarded as in-depth. Su Song's talent, she knows the Tao. He is one of the few well-educated people in the court, and his knowledge is close to qi science, so he is very close to Han Gang. once served as the Kaifeng Mansion of Quanzhi, but it seems that he had to resign because he decided the wrong case.

If the rulers of the two prefectures can agree to him entering the West Mansion, they will definitely not show their strength as soon as they come in, and they are mostly like Xue Xiang, who is silent on many things and only cares about his own stall. It's just that the court is not a place to retire, whether Su Song can replace Han Gang depends on his performance after entering Xifu.

No matter what the reason, you can go to the two mansions at a young age, and you will always have the ability, and you can't just rely on chance or relationship. The current Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dan, and Han Gang are the best examples, and further back, Han Qi and Kou Zhun are also clear proofs. The younger you are when you sit on the throne, the more capable you are. Su Song is too old, and he has only been recommended by Han Gang now, even if he has talent to learn, but he will definitely not be able to treat him. It's definitely not as good as Han Gang.

But for Han Gang's sake, he can only endure it.

The first thing is that the Yongxing Military Road Punishment Envoy Si Song discussed the illegality of Lu Huiqing's brother Shengqing.

Xiang Empress took out the cantata to ask for the advice of the Zaifu, and then Cai did come out and began to express his opinion.

Empress Xiang listened coldly to Cai Qu's 'opinion'. I was bored and even felt ridiculous.

This is a predetermined plan.

There is no term of office for the positions in the two governments, but all those who leave are willing to resign. If you don't take the initiative, try to get him to 'take the initiative'.

Guo Kui is easy to do, hint at two sentences, and he will immediately hand over the resignation form. And Lu Huiqing is a little difficult to do, he is meritorious and innocent in Shaanxi.

Therefore, it must be impeached, otherwise it will be inconvenient to invite Lu Huiqing out of the two governments. Unless Lu Huiqing takes the initiative to resign like Wang Anshi and Han Gang, it will only start with a bullet and try to get him to take the initiative to resign.

No official is clean, but there is no problem with him, and the people around him can find it. It's just a matter of whether you need it or not.

If someone complains about it later, there is also the example of Han Gang pressing the position. There are a lot of military merits, support, and fame, and Lu Huiqing is at least a little worse when he resigns.

Empress Xiang doesn't care what Lu Huiqing thinks in her heart, as long as she doesn't come back. Now, in her opinion, anyone who has not experienced inner meditation cannot be convinced. Su Song was recommended by Han Gang, so it's a little better, Lu Huiqing, who is known for her shrewdness and power, can't let people relax.

For example, Wang Anshi, when he was still doing Pingzhang before, Queen Xiang didn't dare to disobey him. His temper was stubborn, and the two governments had to bow to him, and Han Gang wanted to let Zhang Zai enter Beijing several times, but Wang Anshi pressed him. Even Han Gang can't win against his father-in-law, how can Lu Huiqing, who Wang Anshi values, be a simple person?

This impeachment is just a formality, and the next thing is to see whether Lu Huiqing is interested or not.

According to the normal procedure, the resignation of an important minister, no matter what the reason is, even if he has made a big mistake, as long as it is not derogatory, the resignation submitted by the Son of Heaven must be rejected at least three times before it can be approved. This is the practice of giving preferential treatment to important ministers.

The most recent exception was when Emperor Yingzong was in power, and the target was Cai Xiang, who offended Yingzong on the issue of Renzong's establishment of the prince - Renzong was critically ill and childless in his later years, and the courtiers asked for Yingzong to be the prince, but Cai Xiang was the only one who did not write a book.

The more you want to show that you value your resigned courtier, the more you have to veto your resignation a few more times.

Lu Huiqing really wants to step down, most likely it will take another month or two.

From Lu Huiqing to Han Gang. At present, with Han Gang's situation, it will take at least half a month. And with Wang Anshi's status, at least two more days than Han Gang will be delayed.

Empress Xiang was eager to ask if she could hurry up.

How much time can be delayed for major national events? What kind of firearms bureau, if it is as useful as plate armor, it must be a national treasure, of course, you have to ask Han Gang. The reward of the hundred officials and the three armies, the officials said that if the soldiers were not Han Gang, who had led them, they would definitely not be able to suppress it. The Liao State attacked Goryeo, and it was even more necessary to consult Han Gang's opinion.

It's just that she was worried that if she asked like this, Han Gang would become the target of everyone, as if without him, the two mansions would stop doing things. Even Zhang Dan, who has the best relationship, will not be happy in his heart.

And if Han Gang doesn't come, what he should face is still to be faced.

The Goryeo envoy was about to arrive in the capital, but how to deal with Goryeo, the Zaifu decided to wait for the Goryeo envoy to arrive before making a decision. And we have to see if Goryeo can withstand the attack of the Liao army. In other words, it is still a renegotiation. All that has been done now is to issue a document asking Dengzhou to prepare ships so that a batch of ordnance can be transported over at any time.

No one cared too much about Goryeo's safety. Even if Goryeo was destroyed, for the Great Song Dynasty, it would only be a matter far overseas. What needs to be done is to spend some money, spend some time, and take out some swords, guns, bows, crossbows and armor from the lowest level of the arsenal to support the restoration of Goryeo. Not to mention that there are one or two million Goryeo people, where can they be conquered by the Liao State so quickly? With the virtue of the Khitan people, no matter how honest the farmers are, they will be cornered. As long as someone can rise up, Goryeo must be on fire everywhere, and some times give Yelu Yixin a headache.

Contain the Liao State, this is the expectation of the Great Song Dynasty for Goryeo, who cares how he is contained? It's as simple as that. Anyway, according to Han Gang's words, those are all beasts, they compete for food, and people just need to watch from the side. If necessary, interfere with it, and if it is not necessary, it is another matter.

After finishing the disposition of Goryeo, Han Jiang went out and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, the matter of the year name has also been submitted by the Taichang Rite Academy, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
