More than a year ago, Han Qi saw that there would inevitably be too many problems in the implementation of the equalization law, but in order to completely drive Wang Anshi out of the center of the court, he suppressed the opposition of the old party, and waited for problems in the process of implementing the equalization law, and then used this as an excuse to force the Son of Heaven to remove Wang Anshi.

In the footsteps, more than a dozen important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty came out of the Chongzheng Palace, and the four leaders were wearing purple robes, which was the symbol of Zaifu.

Zhang Bin hurriedly followed the etiquette and bowed slightly to the side, but the corner of his eye secretly looked at these bigwigs of the Great Song Dynasty.

The first old man with a gray beard to come out was naturally Prime Minister Han Qi, he walked up to Zhang Bin, looked up and down a few times, and secretly appreciated it.

Zhang Bin's body is one meter eight, burly, but he has an elegant atmosphere, especially those eyes have a strange depth, and the overall bearing makes everyone's eyes shine, and I can't help but think that this son can make a great contribution, and there is a reason.

Although people cannot be disguised, people will inevitably have a first impression in their hearts when they meet for the first time.

Of course, if there is no great achievement made by Zhang Bin before, everyone will only think that Zhang Bin has a good bearing, but with the support of great achievements, these important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty can't help but think that Zhang Bin is very capable.

"Not bad." Han Qi smiled and nodded at Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin knows that although he has made great achievements, he is nothing in the eyes of these people. And when it came to Han Qi's position, every move must have a deep meaning, he was puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Xianggong." ”

When he raised his head, Han Qi had already turned to leave, and the two people in purple robes behind him also nodded to him with a kind face.........

Obviously, it was the governor Wen Yanbo and the privy envoy Lu Gongbi.

It's just that the old party has shown goodwill, which makes Zhang Bin more and more confused, thinking that most of it is something that he doesn't know.

Then he felt a few hostile glances, and turned to look, but there were five or six officials surrounding a purple-robed important minister with a somewhat thin body and dark skin.

This must be Wang Anshi......

Zhang Bin found that Wang Anshi's gaze was a little complicated when he looked at him, and he didn't mean anything unkind, and when he passed by him, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

And what was hostile to him was the few people behind Wang Anshi, especially one of them, who had a sense of resentment in his expression.

Without waiting for Zhang Bin to think about it, a eunuch at the gate of the hall did not squint, and shouted: "Zhang Bin, the senator of Xuanda Shuncheng, is here." ”

Zhang Bin took a light breath, wrote down the appearance of the person who showed resentment towards him, tidied up his clothes, and walked into the Chongzheng Palace.

"Dashun City Senator Zhang Bin See Your Majesty." On the way here just now, the eunuch had already explained to Zhang Bin the precautions when meeting the saint, although it was the first time for Zhang Bin, he bowed and bowed, and he was not flustered at all.

After hearing the 'flat body' get up, Zhang Bin heard Zhao Yan ask: "I heard that you and Wang Yan were arguing in Hengqu Academy, Wang Yan couldn't argue with you, threatened you on the spot, and vomited blood on the spot, and you went to Wang Anshi's mansion to deliver a letter, and his subordinates took the letter and drove you away, can there be such a thing?" ”

Zhang Bin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly in his heart, he immediately understood why everyone in the old party showed kindness to him just now, and why some people in the new party showed hostility to him, especially Wang Anshi had such a complicated look.

Obviously, the old party used these two things to attack Wang Anshi's character.

has been avoiding mixing with the old and new party disputes, but in the end it is still involved.

Disgusted by some people in the New Party, Zhang Bin is not worried about his reputation at all, because it is not as high as the evaluation of Wang Anshi's changes in later generations, and at present, whether the New Party is in the court, in Shilin, or among the common people, its reputation is really not very good, and even in some places it has become smelly, and Wang Anshi's reputation accumulated for most of his life has been consumed.

However, Zhang Bin was absolutely unwilling to join the old party and become a tool for the old party to attack the new party.

Thinking about the lightning and figuring out what happened, how could Zhang Bin not hear the trace of anger in the calm words of the Son of Heaven who strongly supported Wang Anshi's change, obviously the old party attacked Wang Anshi on the grounds of the festival between him and Wang Anshi's father and son just now, which made the Son of Heaven extremely annoyed.

"This ...... It's a disaster. ”

Zhang Bin scolded secretly in his heart, bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, when Weichen was arguing with Wang Yan in Hengqu Academy, Wang Yan did vomit blood, but ...... did not threaten the minister, and yesterday the minister went to the palace of the prince to deliver a letter, and someone drove away the minister with evil words, but ...... The next person did not say that he was on the order of the king, but on the order of the king's family. ”

When he said these words, Zhang Bin naturally didn't dare to peek at the face of the Son of Heaven, but the change in Zhao Ji's tone when he spoke next made him secretly relieved.

"I see." Zhao Ji was relieved in his heart, just now the old party attacked Wang Anshi's character with this matter, but Wang Anshi remained silent, which made Zhao Ji very unhappy.

Although he knows Wang Anshi's personality very well, one of the characteristics of the 'creature' of the Son of Heaven is that he is very suspicious, and Zhao Ji is no exception, and he doesn't want the character of Wang Anshi, whom he relies on, to lose. And Zhang Bin's explanation is naturally not false.

"Zhang Bin, Han Jiang and the Dashun City good news sent by the people sent by the seed brother praised you a lot, saying that you should be beheaded for more than 10,000 and you should account for 3,000, such a great achievement, what reward do you want?" Zhao Ji was very satisfied with Zhang Bin's performance after he came in just now, and he had indeed made a great contribution, so he was very happy to reward him heavily.

Zhang Bin hurriedly said respectfully: "Weichen doesn't dare to think about it, it's all up to His Majesty to decide." ”

He is not stunned, how can the emperor say that he will let him make a request, and he will be ashamed to make a request when he is a little tasteless senator.

Zhao Ji bowed slightly, and said, "I remember that Han Jiang mentioned in the recital that you want to participate in the imperial examination, so you don't want to be sent. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji hesitated slightly, and said: "In this case, I will give you the rank of Confucianism from the seventh rank, and then give you the rank of military cavalry captain, and finally give you the title of founding baron, give you 200 acres of land, and reward money...... Baiguan. (Note)

The official grades of the Song Dynasty were very complex, consisting of dispatch, own official rank, scattered official rank, honorable officer, knighthood, and posting.

Dispatch: Most of the positions that actually do things are temporary workers.

This official rank: also known as Jilu official, that is, what kind of treatment he enjoys, the name is the official position left by the previous generations such as the three dukes, six ministries and nine qing.

Loose official rank: The actual rank, and the civil and military rank correspond to the civil and military ministers.

Honorable Officer: Twelve turns, honorary titles, and no practical effect.

Title: Honorary title plus additional subsidy, fiefdom and actual feud are often different.

Posting: Honorary titles specially designed for literati, such as a scholar or bachelor of a certain pavilion.

When Yuanfeng was restructured, it was abolished to send the official to take up the actual position, and the official rank was dispersed.
