Chapter 46: The World Is Like Water and the Sky Is Contrary (Part II)

Seeing Wang Anshi, all the officials in front of the door retreated to both sides of the road and welcomed the prime minister to ride into the palace. Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun, and Wang Yan stopped, they were not qualified to ride horses in the palace.

Wang Anshi rode in, and Wang Yan dismounted and entered the palace with the officials.

Today is the day of the living of hundreds of officials, and the Son of Heaven came to the Wende Hall to accept the worship of the ministers.

After the officials entered the palace, they passed through the Wende Gate and lined up at the East and West Pavilion Gates outside the Wende Palace. Wang Anshi stood at the front, and Wang Yan, who was only the last level of court officials, stood at the end of the train.

Wang Yan was quietly waiting for the door of the Wende Hall to open, and Feng Jing, the governor of the government, looked up in front of his eyes, not squinting. And the privy envoy Wu Chong followed closely behind, and these two arrived late today.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his sister-in-law's father passing by with the tumor on his neck, and Wang Yan knew that if he wanted to convince the Son of Heaven, he had to refute Wu Chong, who was in charge of the Western Mansion, and Feng Jing, who participated in politics. Although he couldn't get help from his father, Wang Yan still thought of Chongzheng Hall and tried again - he was not such an obedient son who did what his father said and did by himself, he always had his own ideas.

Sneered.

One is the prime minister, the other is the privy envoy, Wang Anshi and Wu Chong, the two in-laws can be said to control the military and political power of the Great Song Dynasty. However, now Wu Chong is clearly not on the same road as Wang Anshi, and he has not been less opposed to the new law, and this time he presided over the withdrawal of the Son of Heaven from Hezhou.

The more he opposes Wang Anshi, the more the Son of Heaven can rest assured, as long as he acts steadily within the bottom line allowed by the Son of Heaven, Wu Chong's position will become more and more stable, and his actions after taking over as the privy envoy fully prove this.

It's just that Wu Chong and the new law are in a posture of incompatibility, some of which is because he is biased towards the old party, and some of them are afraid that he will be forced to avoid him by taking advantage of his in-law relationship with the Wang family, and Wang Yan really wants to find out.

The door of the pavilion rang out like a chant, and the tall door of the temple was pushed open without a sound. In the Shao music of the chimes, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up and walked into the Wende Hall in small steps.

In the imperial history, Cheng Deng Juan still sat alone according to the rules of three solitary seats, and sat behind the door in the southwest of the hall with a small chair. The history of the palace is arranged in the two corners at the back end of the hall. But one of the two palace attendants is now in Hezhou. Therefore, Tang Kun of the Zhiyuan took the place of Lu Dafang and stood in a corner of the hall.

Wang Yan walked into the hall with the class, and at a glance, Tang Kun's figure made him frown.

Tang Kun once relied on Wang Anshi, and in order to get a recommendation, he also said that he would behead Han Qi and Fu Bi to implement the new law. Although he is a madman, he is a relative of Zeng Gongliang, and he has a literary name, so he was recommended by Wang Anshi as the imperial history.

But neither Wang Anshi nor Wang Yan like this mad dog-like guy. After being recommended as the imperial history, there was no further idea of recommending him. Tang Kun's small-bellied chicken intestines have complained in public many times. Therefore, when he was promoted to the Imperial Court, he should have been promoted to the rank of official according to the rules, but he was escorted to Wang Anshi, and he was allowed to know the Imperial Court with the prince of the eighth grade, which was the first time since the founding of the country.

Wang Yan heard that in the past few days, Tang Kun has written more than 20 books, all of which are discussing current affairs, and the new law has been approved from top to bottom. But it's all useless, and it's all left in by the Son of Heaven.

But this kind of mad dog only has a powerful mouth, and it barks fiercely.

Wang Yan withdrew his mind from Tang Kun, he didn't have any extra thoughts to think about the mad dog, he still had something to do.

……………………

The living room of hundreds of officials is a ceremonial court. There's not much to say. As long as Zhao Ji sat on the couch as usual, he completed the procedure that had been repeated thousands of times step by step.

Da Song Tianzi sat upright, his body did not move at all, but his toes kept moving around, clearly talking about the impatience in his heart.

He also had to think about how to deal with Han Gang's problem. In a dispute in the Chongzheng Hall yesterday, when Feng Jing mentioned Hehuang, he did not drag out the Hengshan incident as an example. If it arouses the rebellious heart of the Son of Heaven, things will have more complications, but it is clear that Han Gang's crime of resisting the edict will be punished according to the law.

Zhao Ji never wanted to deal with Han Gang, in his opinion, at most, a reprimand would be enough, and there would be no need to punish the crime. No matter how you look at Han Gang, he is worried about state affairs and has no time to make a living, it is too much to say that he is greedy for merit, Han Gang was originally after Luo Wu withdrew his troops and Xianyang quelled the rebellion, but how much credit was pushed, separated, it was enough for several people to be selected to change officials.

Zhao Ji has thought about it, if Feng Jing mentions the matter of dealing with Han Gang again today. He replied with the phrase 'atonement for sins'. The day before yesterday, Han Gang was in Luowu and Xianyang, and he didn't have a reward for how much credit he made, so this time he will use it to offset it. It's all worth it!

Zhao Ji didn't want to punish Han Gang. As he said earlier, if he has merit, he will not be rewarded, and if he has done something, he will be punished greatly, so how does this make the subjects outside look at him? How could he be such a mean king. As the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, magnanimity must not be missing, and fair rewards and punishments are the way of the emperor.

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was thinking about the political affairs to be dealt with in the Chongzheng Hall after the end of the court meeting, while waiting on the throne for the end of a whole set of boring processes. This is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and Zhao Ji has experienced hundreds of times since he ascended the throne, and there has never been a single accident. But today he made an exception, Zhao Ji never thought that there would be a strange thing about impeaching the prime minister in the living room of hundreds of officials.

Tang Kun of the Zhiyuan stood only seven or eight steps away from Zhao Ji with a long concerto, and Wang Anshi also stood in front of the throne. Tang Kun just said, "Your Majesty still dares to do this before you go down, you can know it outside!" forced Wang Anshi to walk to the throne and listen to his impeachment.

There was no sound in the huge hall, even the Shao music of the music class stopped, only Tang Kun's excited voice echoed: "An Shi specializes in Weifu, Zeng Bu and others are in power, but the world knows that An Shi is authoritarian, and no longer knows that there is His Majesty." Wu Chong and Feng Jing knew but did not dare to speak. Wang Jue is a servant! ”

Wang Jue lowered his head when he heard this, as if he was ashamed, Feng Jing and Wu Chong in the Western Class glanced at each other, and there was a little doubt in their eyes, they just 'knew but didn't dare to speak', but Wang Jue, who had always upheld the holy will, became a servant - 'Whose idea is this?' ’

"Yuan Jiang, Xue Xiang, Chen Yi, An Shiyi commanded the spirit, and they were no different from domestic slaves. Zhang Hu and Li Ding are Anshi's minions, and Taiwanese official Zhang Shangying is Anshi's eagle dog. Although those who are disobedient are virtuous, those who are attached to themselves are not virtuous. ”

Tang Kun continued to read aloud the recital in his hand, and took out the ministers of the New Party one by one and scolded them.

Zhao Ji couldn't bear to hear it, and ordered him to stop several times. But Tang Kun didn't give in at all, ignoring the words of the Son of Heaven. The courtiers and guards, everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to step forward and drag Tang Kun out of the palace.

After scolding the officials of the New Party with an unstoppable momentum, Tang Kun turned his head and pointed directly at Hengshan and Hehuang. Together with the actions of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, it is all said to be a great achievement, and Wang Anshi knows but does not admonish, he is the generation of Li Linfu and Lu Qi.

Feng Jing lowered his head, Wu Chong lowered his eyes and looked at the empty wat board, and none of the deacons stepped forward to stop him. Wang Yan pressed Nai's heart and looked over fiercely, at the front of the east and west classes, only Wang Qi was looking at Tang Kun.

'Is this Tang Kun's counterattack alone? It's crazy to this extent, it's unbelievable. But how could Feng Jing and Wu Chong be so unwise? Wang Yan only felt that he had walked into a fog, and he couldn't figure out one at all.

And Tang Kun's crazy behavior continues.

Reading the charges drawn up for Wang Anshi one by one, Tang Kun's face flushed. Especially when it comes to the recent Hezhou fiasco, his voice is even louder, and the roof tiles can be shaken down.

There is no way, the life and death of Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu are unknown, and Jing Sili is clearly annihilated. A manager and a general manager are missing, and a prisoner is dead. To put it mildly, the battle situation of Hehuang has become the same as that of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan and Dingchuan. There are even more -

"For decades, there have been many defeated positions outside the official army, but how could he have killed a strategic pacification envoy?!"

"Wang Shao just stopped hearing for a while, not a ...... of death"

Wang Anshi was impeached by Tang Kun, and he didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only bow his head and listen. And Zhao Ji felt Tang Kun's saliva splash on his face, and he was scolded for his great success, fidgeting, and couldn't help it for a while, so he opened his mouth to defend himself.

Finally attracted the words of the Son of Heaven, Tang Kun's eyes lit up, he was waiting. As soon as the music in his hand was closed, a louder voice went straight towards Zhao Xu: "Wang Shao has been missing for more than a month!" No matter how difficult the road is, it should not be left unheard for so long. It was clearly because of greed for merit, so that the whole army was wiped out. It is not a pity for Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu to die, but they have involved thousands of soldiers, and he will not be atoned for this crime! ”

Zhao Ji had a gloomy face, and a good court meeting was stirred up into a vegetable market. The ministers of the court scolded the street and spread it outside, how could he still keep his face as a son of heaven.

"And that Han Gang," mentioning this person, Tang Kun was furious, at the age of twenty, he became a court official on his own level, repeatedly made meritorious deeds, the Son of Heaven favored him, the world praised, and snatched an Oiran from the prince's hand, what is the reason for this! "Born in slang, I don't know how to learn. Luckily, he stood on the side of the court. did not know how to repay the deep kindness of the Son of Heaven, and was greedy for merit, resulting in the defeat of Jing Sili. His sin is not under Wang Shao, he should be beheaded to thank the dead! ”

Zhao Ji's eyes for help swept over the palace, but none of the ministers could stand up to help. Whether it is impeached and accused, or not, they all keep their heads down. Suddenly, I saw Shi Deyi, who was in charge of the Imperial City Division and controlled the palace guards, hesitate outside the palace gate. When Zhao Ji saw him, he seemed to see a savior, "Shi Deyi, what's the matter?!" ”

Shi De rolled in, kneeling less than a foot behind the door.

Feng Jing and Wu Chong both shook their heads secretly, 'How long can this drag on?' Tang Kun, who was interrupted by the Son of Heaven to speak, was even more angry, twisted his eyebrows, and was about to scold the eunuchs who corrupted state affairs, "Wang Zhongzheng handed over Han Gang, resisted the edict, and ...... bad state affairs."

It's just that Shi Deyi reported loudly, but the civil and military officials heard it more clearly: "Your Majesty, there is good news outside the palace." Xihe Lubu Feijie, Wang Shao has recovered Taozhou, and he has captured Mu Zheng! ”
