The whispers of the Zaifu are clearly seen by the supervising imperial historians. It's just that they are all smart enough to turn a blind eye.

It's almost time for the court meeting, and the envoys of the East and West Pavilions and the Imperial History have already come out to rectify the official queue.

Qiang Yuanming whispered to Cai Jing: "I'm afraid it's for Hedong's business again." ”

"What else?"

"Actually, how about taking it easy and letting them come back?"

'What about coming back?' ’

Cai Jing chuckled. He felt that if he was in the position of the Zaifu, he was afraid that it would be difficult to say such a sentence with confidence. Once Lu Huiqing comes back, I'm afraid that no one in the two mansions will be able to fight him, he is not like Wang Anshi, after presiding over the government, he can easily let go.

If it is only compared to personal talent, Cai Jing does not think that most of the Zai Fu will lose much to Lu Huiqing in court affairs, but if it is compared to the power of the force, it will definitely not be comparable to Lu Huiqing.

"Wang Pingzhang's temperament is stubborn, but looking at his current appearance, I am afraid that he has no intention of ruling the government for a long time, and he only cares about the survival of new learning. Once Lu Jifu returns, he will most likely entrust the power to him, and then come down to teach the prince to read with peace of mind. Wang Pingzhang is over sixty years old, and Han Yukun has only paid thirty ...... He can only rely on Lu Jifu. ”

Qiang Yuanming nodded, "That's true." ”

Whether academically or in the court, Lu Huiqing is Wang Anshi's recognized heir, and this is also the only person recognized within the New Party.

Once Wang Anshi gave up the authority to dominate the court now, he pushed Lu Huiqing up. The hearts of the new party will inevitably be attached. At that time, Lu Huiqing had already replaced Wang Anshi, who had dismissed the prime minister, as the court for a long time, maintaining the new law, the new school, and the new party, and then it would just return to normal.

Fortunately, Lu Huiqing replaced Wang Anshi in charge of the court, Han Jiang and Cai Cheng would not be reconciled, and the following two governors - Zeng Bu and Zhang Ji did not want to have such strong colleagues. Otherwise, all of them, the supervising imperial history of hundreds of officials, would be pressed on the head by Lu Huiqing.

Lu Huiqing has not been in the political affairs hall, and there are many people who have personally experienced his personality and style of acting. Otherwise, this time, so many people would not be willing to make a contribution to let him stay in Shaanxi for a long time. It was Wang Anshi who blocked Han Gang, and it was a group of people who took the opportunity to stop Lu Huiqing who had been offended over the years.

"But what does the imperial court on the east side of the river think? You can't pretend you didn't hear it, at least you have to say something. "In Qiang Yuanming's opinion, the words he said in front of Zhang Xiaojie as Han Gang were at least one 'undesirable' comment, and the court should give a punishment of copper at the lightest.

"Reprimand?" Cai Jing shook his head, as far as he knew, this plan had already been considered by the two governments, "Not to mention whether you can say that you can move the queen, once you really issue an edict for this, Han Gang will most likely take advantage of the situation to resign, who will end it?" ”

If the Son of Heaven is still in good health, Han Gang is asking for hardship by doing so. But in the current situation, the two mansions will only fall into passivity, and it will be even more inconvenient for the queen to speak.

It is even more impossible to recall Jinglai for questioning. That just made Han Gang get his wish.

It can only be put aside.

It's just that the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. The thoughts of the Zaifu are not necessarily cooperated with the officials below. Before, the court was like a pool of stagnant water, and it was firmly suppressed by the Zaifu in Beijing, but now that Han Gang has set off an uproar, how can there be fewer people who make waves?

Cai Jing gently pinched the wat board, he actually didn't mind taking advantage of the wind and waves!

The opportunity is coming.

……………………

After the Wende Palace, Queen Xiang was already fully dressed, a phoenix crown court dress, turning over the music that could never be finished, just waiting for the time of the last dynasty.

Zhao maid sat next to her obediently and said nothing. The six-year-old crown prince is not active at all as children of the same age, and is as steady as an adult. When I woke up early in the morning, I couldn't see the sleepiness of snooze.

put down a piece of music from Jiangzhou, looked at the queen and saw his son sitting motionless, and asked with concern: "Sixth brother, do you want to eat some fruit." ”

"Mother, the child is not hungry." Zhao maid stood up first, and then replied with a dignified salute, "Niangniang is tired?" ”

"Niang Niang is not tired." Xiang smiled at the queen, "Sit down." ”

Zhao Maid saluted again, and then sat down.

Kaimeng has only been in school for half a year, and he has made great progress. Speak and behave more steadily. When I saw him inside and outside the palace, I felt that with such a studious and intelligent prince, the future of the Great Song Dynasty would not have to worry too much.

The primary school student's studies do not require him to be able to compose poems, compared with Bai Juyi's genius who can know 'what and nothing is not' in six months, and the most important thing is the study of etiquette. For all Confucians, etiquette is a compulsory subject.

There are a lot of teachers in the East Palace, and there are even more teachers in Zishantang, but the most important ones are Wang, Han, and Cheng. Among them, Han Gang is far away in Hedong, and Wang Anshi is busy with government affairs, in fact, Cheng Hao gave Zhao Maid more teachings. Queen Xiang has always been unpleasant to Cheng Hao, but she has to admit that Cheng Hao is indeed at a very high level in teaching and educating people.

Thinking of Zhao Maid's teacher, Empress Xiang couldn't help but think of the nominal masters of the East Palace.

Previously, because of the drastic changes on the winter solstice, the three divisions of the East Palace were occupied by Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu, but the prince and the young master, the prince and the young master, and the prince and the prince were not appointed. This time, it's going to be sealed. Although it is the East Palace, it has nothing to do with Zhao Maid this time, but only rewards the heroes, and gives the three coaches Lu Huiqing, Han Gang and Guo Kui rewards.

The idea of the political hall is to give Guo Kui the title of the prince and the prince of Shaobao, and then let him retire. In addition, giving Lu Huiqing a prince and young master can be regarded as a fundraising merit. Han Gang is the young master of the crown prince.

It's basically a false title, it's nothing more than the one that adds officials to the knighthood, and it's a very simple one.

The nineteenth-level inspector and the twelveth-turn rank are just good-sounding, and Dongfu is not stingy. But when it came to the knighthood with some substance, he immediately became stingy.

Lu Huiqing can still be promoted to the title of county duke, but the titles of Han Gang and Guo Kui have not changed.

Han Gang and Guo Kui have accumulated military merits over the years, and their titles are already the founding princes of the country, and they are promoted to the princes of the country. At present, in the court, except for Wang Anshi, even Han Jiang has not been awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom - although as long as he has served as the prime minister, he will be awarded the title of Duke of the State after all, and there has been talk recently that he will be given the title of Conferral, but after all, there is no yet.

Guo Kui didn't say anything. Although Han Gang's military merits were high, it was too early to be promoted to the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and Lu Huiqing was not promoted to the rank of Duke of the County. In terms of merit, the two are equal, and in terms of seniority and dispatch, Lu Huiqing is still above Han Gang, and he can't favor one over the other.

In the eyes of Empress Xiang, it was really painstaking for the political hall to find a reason for this.

And in terms of adding food, Dongfu is also very stingy.

The world says that there are ten thousand households, but the merits of the three are like this, and none of them has more than ten thousand households.

The reason given by Dongfu is that according to the story, ten thousand households will be crowned as the Duke of the State, and since the three of them are not the Duke of the State, of course they cannot accept the Ten Thousand Households. Originally, Hangang was 4,000 households and 1,200 households, but now it is only an additional 4,000 households, and 1,800 households. A total of 8,000 food towns, 3,000 real seals.

As for whether Han Gang and Lu Huiqing will return to Beijing, it is the same as always. The people at the border pass are undecided, and the two of them need to continue to sit in charge, but Guo Kui is transferred back as soon as possible. Shaanxi is also similar to Guo Kui, and after being promoted to the festival degree has been settled, when Xingling is a little settled, he will be recalled to Beijing to serve as the three yaguan army.

These days, Empress Xiang's perception of Jae-suke in Kyung is getting worse and worse.

The result of the war with the Liao State this time is not much stronger than Taizong, who suffered two defeats, but also much stronger than Emperor Zhenzong. Even if the annual coins still have to be given, how much land can be recaptured, which Emperor Taizu can't buy back with money.

This success can really be boasted to the Taimiao. But the Zaifu have aspirations together, and they are afraid that the celebration will be loud and will alarm the officials in the Funing Palace, so they will not be allowed to come as usual.

I don't want the lie to be exposed, and Empress Xiang can't oppose the opinions of the Zaifu.

A glorious victory that should have been the first one against the Liao State after Taizong was silently suppressed in the court, as if he had lost.

There is also Jingying, the miserliness of the two governments has caused a lot of trouble, if it can be saved, it would be fine, but after the most reluctance, how much money was given to suppress it.

No wonder the official family always has to change people to manage the two governments, and these zaifu are a scourge if they stay in the court for a long time!

"Saints. Sage. ”

Song Yongchen's call woke up the contemplative queen.

Is the time come? ’

Empress Xiang stood up and took Zhao Maid's hand and walked to the front hall. In the face of repeated and repeated pilgrimage meetings without change, there is no fluctuation in my heart.

As always, the meeting was lackluster, and ambitious officials remained on the sidelines. After that, the Chongzheng Hall sat again, and the important ministers attending the meeting deliberately avoided the discussion of Han Gang's performance, and did not give the queen the slightest chance to speak.

The queen behind the curtain was numb to the actions of the Zaisuke.

These people can force the emperor to hide in the palace and get angry, how can she be her opponent?

When Wang Anshi led the Zaifu to leave the Chongzheng Hall and go to the Funing Hall to greet him, a voice broke the lifeless atmosphere of the palace.

"The minister has a book for His Highness, please stay right." Zeng Bu bowed to the figure behind the curtain.

Xiang Empress straightened up violently, Wang Anshi's face changed suddenly, and the important ministers at the meeting had different expressions, but they were all surprised.

Zengbu!

The gloomy palace of His Excellency, Zeng Bu's short and thin figure, but it seems to be a raised stone on the surface of the smooth thoroughfare, which makes people feel extraordinarily dazzling.

Zeng Bu actually asked himself to stay......

Since Ding Wei, the minister of power in the early years of Renzong, was invited to Qiongzhou by his colleague Wang Zeng using this method, such behavior has become the most taboo behavior among Zaifu. On the other hand, it is not a trivial matter for a Zai Fu to ask for an independent right, and it must be a motion to offend a large number of colleagues, otherwise there is no need to choose such drastic means.

Is he going to be the first one?!

Zeng Bu didn't show any nervousness on his face.

At the beginning, he claimed the disadvantages of the city and was driven out of the capital by Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gongliang once sent a letter to him - Sai Weng lost his horse, and now he is not sad, Chu Xiang broke the snake [Note 1], and he will be blessed in the future.

Now is the time to verify.

Note 1: Jia Yi's "New Book: Spring and Autumn" contains, Spring and Autumn Chu Prime Minister Sun Shuao, when he was a child, he encountered a two-headed snake, fearing that others would see it again, bury it, and fear, saying that his mother said: "I heard that the two-headed snake died." "Mother said: 'Don't worry, you won't die.'" I heard that those who have yin virtue will be blessed by heaven. When people hear it, they tell it to be benevolent. And for the sake of Yin, the people of the country believe it before they are governed. ”
