Jiaozhi was beaten down by Huyanping and others, Zhao Yan stayed in the deep-water port for a few more days, arranged the task of taking over Jiaozhi, and also selected some officials to serve in various places to strengthen the rule of Jiaozhi, and also arranged to build roads, after all, if you want to rule Jiaozhi for a long time, traffic is one of the biggest problems, as long as the road is repaired, then there is no possibility of rebellion between Jiaozhi and Zhancheng.

Finally arranged the things on the Jiaozhi side, Zhao Yan left the deep-water port by boat, originally he planned to go to Qiongzhou to find Su Song Panhuan for a few days, but he didn't expect that his ship had just left the deep-water port, and happened to meet a ship from Guangzhou to report the news, and learned a news from the other party that shocked Zhao Yan, which also made him not care about going to Su Song again, and rushed to Guangzhou across Qiongzhou.

As soon as he returned to Guangzhou, Zhao Yan immediately found Wang Shiyue, who presided over the affairs on his behalf, and immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, has Wang Anshi really resigned?" ”

"Yes, Wang Yan died of illness before, Wang Anshi experienced the pain of losing a child, and there was no inch of progress in changing the law, so he was also a little disheartened, and he was not approved by His Majesty several times before he proposed to resign, but this time His Majesty was not good at stopping him, so he had to agree, and now Wang Anshi has transported Wang Yan's coffin out of the capital." Wang Shiyue also sighed at this time and said, who would have thought that the vigorous change at the beginning would now end up like this.

The news that Zhao Yan received before only said that Wang Anshi had resigned, and he didn't know the news of Wang Yan's death, so he was also stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had a few encounters with Wang Yan at the beginning, although the other party did not leave a good impression on him, but he was also an acquaintance, and even Zhao Yan knew that Wang Yan died early in history. didn't expect him to die so early.

"Wang Anshi has resigned, what is the reaction of the court?" Zhao Yan then asked again, he had expected that Wang Anshi would definitely not last long after his reappearance, so he was not surprised that Wang Anshi left the court, but he was now worried about what would happen to the Great Song Dynasty after Wang Anshi left.

"For Wang Anshi's departure. The old party headed by Sima Guang was naturally cheering, after all, Wang Anshi had caused a lot of pressure on them before, and as for the Fa Reform faction, it was still divided into two parts, some people tried their best to persuade Wang Anshi to stay, such as Han Jiang and others, and some people were secretly happy, such as Lu Huiqing and others, but with Wang Anshi's departure, someone in the court must need to take over Wang Anshi's position. This will definitely trigger another fight between the old and new parties, so the court will definitely be very lively next. Wang Shiyue replied again, and at the same time added some of his own opinions.

"What the horse said is good, and what's even worse is that Xia Guan thinks that Lu Huiqing has a better chance of winning the phase than anyone else!" At this moment, Su Zhe, who was standing with Wang Shiyue, suddenly said, after Cai Jing left the Guangzhou Zhizhou, the original general judge was promoted to the governor. As a result, the position of general judge was vacant, so Zhao Yan asked Zhao Yan. Let Su Zhe serve as a general judge, which can be regarded as a training for him, and he also serves as Zhao Yan's staff in government affairs, so Zhao Yan will also call him to help discuss some important matters, after all, his political vision and ability are much stronger than Su Shi.

Hearing Su Zhe's judgment, Zhao Yan also nodded in agreement. Originally, in the original history, after Wang Anshi visited the prime minister again, he was the first to clean up Lu Huiqing who betrayed him, and since then Lu Huiqing has been an official outside, and he has never had the opportunity to regain power. However, the current history is because of the influence of Zhao Yan, so that Lu Huiqing actually won Zhao Huiqing's trust, which also made Wang Anshi helpless against Lu Huiqing, with the current situation in the DPRK and China, and Zhao Huiqing's trust in Lu Huiqing, I am afraid that Wang Anshi's position after leaving is likely to be inherited by Lu Huiqing.

"Although Lu Huiqing has some talents, he is bent on flattering the present, and he has persuaded His Majesty to send troops to the Liao State before, if he gets the phase this time, I am afraid that it is very likely to persuade His Majesty to use troops against the Liao State again, and it will be bad then." At this time, Xu Yuan, who came back with Zhao Yan, also said with a worried face, his words were exactly what Zhao Yan was most worried about.

In the next period of time, Zhao Yan has also been paying attention to the dynamics of the court, in fact, it is not only him, it is estimated that the officials of the entire Great Song Dynasty are paying attention to the court after Wang Anshi left, and the result is not as expected by Zhao Yan, not long after Wang Anshi's resignation, Zhao Xuan announced the appointment of Lu Huiqing as the prime minister, and perhaps in order to balance the political situation, and in order to comfort the old party, Zhao Xuan also worshiped Sima Guang as the prime minister, plus the original Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi, so that there are four ministers in the court of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Zhao Yan had expected Lu Huiqing's visit, but Lu Huiqing's actions made him worry again, because the first thing Lu Huiqing did after taking office was to demote Han Jiang to the field, and then some people in the law change faction who did not agree with him were also demoted, although Sima Guang looked down on Lu Huiqing, but for this kind of struggle within the law change faction, he was also happy to be idle, and even took the initiative to help the flames behind the scenes, as a result, Lu Huiqing quickly cleaned up the law change faction, although the strength of the law change faction was greatly damaged. But it made the power in Lu Huiqing's hands increase a lot.

Lu Huiqing integrated the power of the law change faction, so it can be seen that his plan must be not small, and then think about Lu Huiqing's character, which makes Zhao Yan have to worry, and he is also secretly scolding Sima Guang in his heart for not knowing the severity, it is estimated that in his opinion, as long as he can drive Wang Anshi away, but he doesn't know that leaving a cunning Lu Huiqing will be more headache than the stubborn Wang Anshi.

In fact, Zhao Yan really blamed Sima Guang, in Sima Guang's mansion in the capital, Sima Guang, who was nearly seventy years old, also had a headache walking around, because during this time he got a news, although it has not been confirmed, but it makes him very worried.

At this moment, I saw two people suddenly walking in outside, a very rich middle-aged man in front of him, Sima Guang saw the other party and immediately stepped forward and said: "Zhiguo, how is the matter going, does Lu Huiqing really want to persuade His Majesty to raise troops against the Liao State?" ”

The rich middle-aged man is named Han Wei, and he is the younger brother of Han Jiang, the backbone of the law-changing faction, but he is different from his brother Han Jiang, who has always been very resistant to the new law, and belongs to the backbone of the old party.

"Junshi, we have already inquired about the matter, but this is also thanks to Wenyue's help!" Han Wei said and pointed to the middle-aged man beside him, this middle-aged man was tall and good-looking, and he looked upright, but although Sima Guang saw him just now, he didn't see it, because he had already recognized the other party and despised the other party's personality very much, so he didn't want to deal with him.

"Hehe, Xia Guan has seen Sima Xianggong!" Although the middle-aged man knew that Sima Guang didn't want to take care of himself, he was still cheeky, and his originally righteous face showed a flattering smile, which suddenly made people have a bad impression of him.

"Deng Zhongcheng is polite, I wonder if you can inquire about the situation over there of Lu Huiqing?" Sima Guang didn't want to have too much communication with this middle-aged man, so he asked directly, and even if it wasn't for the fact that this matter was too important, I am afraid he wouldn't want this middle-aged man to enter his house at all.

In fact, it's no wonder that Sima Guang is so unkind to see each other, this tall middle-aged man is named Deng Juan, who used to be a member of the law change, and he is also a very important figure among them, holding the position of the middle of the imperial history.

It's a pity that Deng Juan is very similar to Lu Huiqing, that is, there is a problem with his character, and even he is not as good as Lu Huiqing in character. In addition, Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anguo was dismissed, and Deng Juan also had a ghost behind his back.

It's a pity that Deng Juan's vision is too short-sighted, not long after Wang Anshi's resignation, he actually made a comeback, which made Deng Juan regret it greatly, but no one expected him to secretly ask to see Wang Anshi again, hoping to rejoin Wang Anshi's men, but he didn't expect Wang Anshi's strong personality to drive him out of the house, but this incident happened to be seen, so the trouble was known all over the city, for which Lu Huiqing also hated him to the bone, and always wanted to demote him out of the capital, but unfortunately Deng Juan was very slippery, and did not let Lu Huiqing seize any opportunity at all.

Now that Wang Anshi has resigned again and returned to his hometown, the law-changing faction has completely become Lu Huiqing's word, and Deng Juan also feels that he can't get mixed up, but this guy actually turns around and throws himself into the arms of the old-fashioned faction, originally Sima Guang was very disgusted with his repeated villain, and he didn't intend to accept him, but some people in the old-fashioned faction took a fancy to Deng Juan's familiarity with the inside of the law-changing faction, and could get some news that they couldn't get, so they finally accepted him.

Deng Juan knew that Sima Guang didn't want to see him, but he didn't care at all, and when he heard Sima Guang ask about what he had heard, he immediately replied: "Qi Sima Xianggong, the lower officials have inquired clearly, Lu Huiqing is indeed preparing to persuade His Majesty to attack Liao, some people in the new party have already received the news in advance, and at the court meeting the day after tomorrow, Lu Huiqing will formally propose this matter to His Majesty!"
