Zhou Laosan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this name, and said: "It turned out to be him, I heard that this time the great victory of Dashun City, the beheading of more than 10,000 western thieves, except for the kind of Taiwei, he contributed the most." ”

"Not really! The post man who passed in the morning said that even Han Xianggong talked to him twice, and even Han Xianggong couldn't decide if he had a lot of credit, I just read the post paperwork, this is to go to Beijing, maybe it is to face the saint, and it must be promoted to a good official. Yi Cheng looked envious, and as he spoke, he touched the horses in the stable.

……

……

"Well done! Well done! ”

In the Chongzheng Hall of Bianjing, the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu, after seeing the good news sent from Dashun City, jumped up directly from the dragon collapse, and even ignored the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and applauded loudly without reserve.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the palace were all taken aback, there were thieves from the west on the northwest two roads, they knew that there was a good news report from Dashun City today, and they had heard about it, but they didn't know what kind of good news it was, and it made the Son of Heaven so out of shape.

Wang Anshi, the governor of the political affairs, bowed his hand and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the great victory of Dashun City, and the beheading of more than 10,000 Western thieves, this is a great victory that has never been seen in the war between my Great Song Dynasty and Western Thieves for more than 20 years." ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Wang Anshi, who had read the good news in advance, said the content of the good news, and all the ministers in the palace were shocked, and they all looked surprised and bowed down in unison. No matter how fierce the partisan struggle is on weekdays, they are extremely happy that they have won a great victory at the border pass.

After Zhao Ji was excited, he had returned to normal, and sat back down in the dragon collapse, but at this time, he nodded again and again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Han Jiang and Chong Ge have done a good job." ”

Before presenting the Son of Heaven, the same had the right to read the good news in advance, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Jixian Hall scholar, Wei Guogong Han Qi said: "Chong Ge expected in advance that the western thief would take the meridian road, sent an envoy to the Heiluo Department, carried out the old things, and killed the deputy privy envoy of the Western Thief who visited the Heiluo Department privately, and cut off the possibility of the Heiluo Department falling to the Western Thief, not to mention, and forced the Heiluo Department to send out 3,000 cavalry. ”

"The west thief has no hope of taking the meridian road, and can only attack Dashun Jiancheng, and when the west thief is attacking Dashun City, Liu Changzuo, who was sent by the seed in advance, led 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 cavalry of the Heiluo Department to suddenly kill, and laid out suspicious soldiers, the west thief mistakenly thought that my Song Dynasty reinforcements were coming in a big way, and retreated in a hurry, and were chased and killed by our army all the way to escape, this battle can be called a classic, even if I have been in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, I can rank in the top five, enough to go down in history."

Zhao Ji had a smile on his face even more, and nodded: "What Han Xianggong said is extremely true, after this battle, the arrogance of the Western Thief is not there, and the matter of the New Year's coin can also be considered to be changed." ”

Han Qixiang's three emperors and two masters, he is the real father of decision-making, and his status in the eyes of the Son of Heaven is unmatched inside and outside the government and the opposition. Although Wang Anshi is deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, he also knows that he cannot be compared for the time being, and his qualifications, popularity and authority are too different. And one of Han Qi's many official titles, 'Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi' is actually the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Wang Anshi's political affairs are the deputy minister.

Wang Anshi glanced at Han Qi, thinking that this old man was the biggest obstacle to changing the law, and if he didn't drive this old man out of the center of the imperial court, the change of the law might be an extravagant hope, and if he wanted to drive Han Qi out of the center, it was too difficult for him to do it alone, and he needed to welcome Han Jiang, who was far away in the northwest, back to Bianjing.

Thoughts flashed in his heart, and Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this time the great victory of Dashun City, Han Jiang has strategized and made great achievements. ”

For example, there are two major Han families today, which are known as Xiangzhou Han and Lingshou Han.

The representative figure of Xiangzhou Han is Han Qi, and the representative figures of Lingshou Han are Han Jiang, Han Jin and others, all of whom are the top families and eunuchs today. And unlike Han Qi, Han Jiang has always supported Wang Anshi's reforms.

Zhao Ji nodded with a smile and said: "Han Jiang is in charge of the military and political affairs of the Northwest Third Route for me, and such a great victory naturally has his share of planning and planning. ”

The Son of Heaven did not particularly praise Han Jiang in his words, Wang Anshi knew that it was not enough, and was about to say something more, Han Qi's eyes narrowed, rushed in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to Han Jiang's planning and the leadership of the plant, there is another person who has made great contributions. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, and he said: "That's right, Zhang Bin is a little senator with no grade, he has such courage and quick wit, he has done super old things, killed the envoy of the Western Thief, and borrowed three thousand soldiers and horses from the Black Luo Department, this merit is indeed not small, I want to reward him, what do you think Aiqing?" ”

Han Qi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhang Bin's son is the only son of the great Confucian Zhang Zai, and his family history is related, Your Majesty may wish to stay in Zhongshu Province as an official, and if Your Majesty has an ear to mention the face, he may become my minister of the Great Song Dynasty in the future." ”

Wang Anshi suddenly hated in his heart, Zhang Zai's personality and academic achievements he also admired a lot, but Zhang Zai had a lot of complaints about the change he advocated, and because Zhang Zai's prestige in the northern Shilin was not small, it was quite a big obstacle to his change, so he forced him to resign, and his son must also be against the change, how could he stay in the center, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Bin has made great contributions this time, but only to raise people's fame, and the ministers of the center have always been from Jinshi, and the ministers thought that Zhang Bin Chixian County could be given the adjutant with his talents, Or they can make new contributions and serve the country. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes swept over Han Qi and Wang Anshi, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, the two prime ministers were fighting in front of him, how could he not see it, but although he was the Son of Heaven, he couldn't control some things, but in this matter, he just ignored the two prime ministers: "Zhang Bin will come to Beijing in a few days, why don't I summon him and ask him in person what he wants to make a reward decision." ”

Han Qi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Wang Anshi was unwilling, but he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Han Qi's expression was as usual, but the corner of his eye kept observing the change of Zhao Qi's expression.

He served the three Sons of Heaven, the one in front of him can be regarded as smart, the Son of Heaven who has been in office for two years, is already considered a clear door in political affairs, and some things are hidden from ordinary courtiers, but recently I heard that the manpower of the Imperial City Division has increased a lot, and the ears and eyes of the Son of Heaven in Beijing are also much keen.

It's just that although today's son wants the emperor of Zhongxing, he trusts straight people like Wang Anshi, and everyone knows the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty, but the problem is that some things are too involved, and under reckless action, it will only shake the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Because he has served the three Sons of Heaven, and even when the Son of Heaven can ascend to the throne today, it is because of his support and the current Empress Dowager, Han Qi has never had much reverence for the Son of Heaven.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor is a god-like existence, and in the eyes of ordinary courtiers, the emperor is the Son of Heaven and the power of heaven. But in Han Qi's view, the so-called Son of Heaven is actually an ordinary person. It's just that he has the greatest blessing in the world, so he has become the lord of the world.
