Chapter 63: Pressing Forward

Wang Anshi thought that he was justified and well-founded, and as long as he made clear the advantages of the equalization law, he would convince the opposition, but now it seems that the old party did not care at all whether the equalization law would bring more money to the Song Dynasty finances, let alone how the law would benefit the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

The privy envoy Lu Gongbi didn't seem to see Wang Anshi's trembling body and Zhao Ji's gloomy face, and then he also stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, and the minister also thinks that the equalization method is destroying the court system, which is clearly mercenary, and it will lose the prestige of Your Majesty and the trust of the court." ”

Han Qi, who had not spoken, then stood up expressionlessly and said, "Your Majesty, now that the law has made the world divided, this is a big crime. The minister thought that His Majesty should remove Wang Anshi from the position of vice minister and let him leave Beijing, so that he could trace the source. ”

The old party bigwigs took the lead with Wen Yanbo, and Han Qi closed up, and he was pressing step by step.

The audience was dead silent, Wang Anshi knew that it was useless to say more at this time, so he stopped talking with a gloomy face, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dan, and Xue Xiang, who were at the lower official positions present, were all Wang Anshi's right-hand men and the right-hand men of the New Party, but at this time they also kept a cold face and did not speak.

And after Zhao Ji's face changed several times, he also fell into silence.

All the civil and military officials in the audience were waiting for Zhao Ji to wake up from his silence and make a final decision.

Zhao Ji was naturally extremely angry that Han Qi and the old party openly forced him to remove Wang Anshi from the position of deputy prime minister, but he knew that he must not show anger at this time, but he could not compromise in the slightest, otherwise the change would die early.

Zhao Ji's expression seemed calm, but his eyes became colder and colder, and at this moment, he had a decision in his heart - he must drive Han Qi out of the center of the imperial court, because he would never allow a second time for a courtier to join forces to force him to such an extent.

Zhao Ji's eyes swept over the ministers, and everyone suddenly found that compared with the warm gaze of the Son of Heaven in the past, the eyes of the Son of Heaven at this time were cold and unpredictable, as if after today's incident, the Son of Heaven suddenly matured a lot.

"We'll talk about that later." Zhao Ji retracted his gaze and said lightly. And casually picked up the top one of the stacks of this month's recitals on the table, and he wanted to find something else to divert the matter that was being discussed in the court at this time.

As the general mouthpiece and eye of the Son of Heaven in the Northwest Third Road, it is natural to report some things that some local officials will not say to him, the Son of Heaven, and this time it focuses on the beginning and end of the great victory of Dashun City, as well as Han Jiang's recent plot against the Black Luo Department.

Zhao Ji suddenly remembered the name of the young senator mentioned in the previous victory of Dashun City, and said casually: "Since there is a dispute about the equalization method, we will discuss it next time. The victory of Dashun City was the biggest victory in the battle with the Western Thieves since I ascended the throne, and there were many places to discuss in this battle. ”

"Li Shunju, you send someone to see if Zhang Bin has entered Beijing, and if so, let him come to see me now."

Li Shunju, the seated enshrinement officer who had been standing motionless on the lower right hand side of the dragon collapse, immediately agreed, quickly withdrew through the side door, and sent a eunuch out of the palace with two guards.

In the main hall, Zeng Bu's face changed slightly at that moment just now. He originally thought that the Son of Heaven had been focusing on the old party's opposition to the equalization law recently, and he didn't know how many things he had to think about and deal with every day, and the little border city Wupin Senate had long forgotten it, so he dared to take out Zhang Bin's holy documents and burn them, but the Son of Heaven suddenly remembered that Zhang Bin again.

Zeng Bu didn't know that Zhao Ji had been in charge of every opportunity recently, and he had indeed forgotten Zhang Bin, but Zhang Xiangnan, a horse on the Northwest Third Road, vigorously promoted Zhang Bin in the report to the Son of Heaven, which evoked the memories of the Son of Heaven, and now that the Son of Heaven was forced by the old party led by Han Qi, he needed to find something to end the stalemate at this time.

The other old party courtiers saw that although the Son of Heaven did not immediately remove Wang Anshi from the position of vice minister, but he had relented, they did not dare to persecute again, after all, today's situation is led by Han Qi, and the Son of Heaven may not do anything to them, but if the Son of Heaven is grudged, there will be a monstrous disaster one day.

Of course, this does not include Han Qi, he knows very well that with his own status and status, coupled with the political model of the Great Song Dynasty Son of Heaven and the scholars sharing the world, as long as he does not raise the flag to rebel, even the Son of Heaven has nothing to do with him, so he did not care about the little trick of the Son of Heaven to change the topic, and went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the boiling of the scholars and the commotion of the Li people are all caused by the loss of the law, and Your Majesty can only calm down the people by removing the initiator." ”

Zhao Ji suddenly trembled with anger, he didn't expect that a small retreat in front of Han Qi would make Han Qi, an old horseman, press forward step by step, and be so presumptuous to himself.

When Sima Guang heard the name Zhang Bin, when he thought of what happened, his eyes flashed, and he came out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister said before that Wang Anshi's morality was lacking, but there is evidence. ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Wang Anshi and snorted coldly at Sima Guang: "What is the evidence?" ”

Sima Guang said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty just said that the hero Zhang Bin arrived in the capital yesterday and sent a letter to Wang Anshi for Han Jiang, but Wang Anshi's mansion accepted the letter, but said, 'If Zhang Bin dares to come to the door again, he will break his legs', and now this matter has spread all over the capital, and this villain's matter is a clear proof of Wang Anshi's moral loss." ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Can Wang Aiqing have such a thing?" ”

Wang Anshi wanted to say that this was his wife's secret from him, but in the end he said: "But there is such a thing." ”

Zhao Ji was stunned and said: "Wang Aiqing's matter must have another hidden secret. ”

Without waiting for Wang Anshi to say anything, the privy envoy Lu Gongbi stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, this matter does have a cause. And now it is also known to the world, and this incident also proves that Wang Anshi has no way to teach his son, and his son Wang Yan is flying high......"
