Wang Anshi was not moved by Han Gang's words,

"Can't find your desk? Is it more than ten days later that the northern captives entered the Kou? ”

Wang Anshi's mood looked very bad, and Han Gang guessed if he was angry with him last night, but it was more likely that Wang Anshi wanted to warn the people in the new party not to think that they could change sides peacefully.

Even the son-in-law can break his face to reprimand, and Wang Anshi's attitude will soon spread in the court. Those in the new party who want to change ships should think about whether they will become the target of killing chickens and monkeys before making a decision.

Since his father-in-law has such an idea, of course Han Gang has to cooperate.

"The candidate for the Zhigong Ju is not in a hurry within half an hour."

When Han Gang spoke, he was not as cold and hard as Wang Anshi. But the tension between the two is like the sky before a storm, dark and heavy.

If a husband and wife quarrel, the improper placement of chopsticks can become a fuse. The New Party and the Korean Party really want to tear their faces, and the order of deliberation can of course be used as a reason.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Dian rushed out of the train, "Japan's affairs, although not urgent, can be related to the northern captives, and cannot be ignored, Han Gang's proposal should be implemented as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Dian came forward to play a round, and Xiang Empress Dowager immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course you can ......"

As soon as he heard the Queen Mother's consent, Zhang Dian said again, "The construction of the sea ship is in the ordnance superintendent." Strengthening the naval division and increasing the number of troops on Tamna Island is a matter for the Privy Council. As for the addition of the city wall of the Beijing Division, the bricks and stones were handed over to the transfer divisions of various places, and how to build the city wall and build the forts, His Majesty could choose an internal attendant to raise it, and discuss it with the Kaifeng Mansion and the Firearms Bureau. ”

Although the scene of Wang Anshi and Han Gangweng's son-in-law scolding each other is interesting, if it is really big, the Queen Mother will be pulled out.

This referee who is used to pulling the bias, how dare Zhang Dian let her play?

The Kaifeng Prefecture's renovation of the city walls, which had been a matter of controversy for half a day, including a proposal to requisition bricks and stones from various prefectures and counties, was easily passed without any opposition.

But the whole thing isn't too out of line. In fact, the first two of Hanoka's three opinions on Japan's situation have been adopted a long time ago, and now they are just repeating and emphasizing. As for the third article, it is essentially the renovation of the Kaifeng city wall. There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing, politically. As for the bricks and stones from all over the country, as long as the imperial court gives enough money, the people will naturally be happy.

Han Gang bowed down to the Queen Mother, but he was thinking in his heart: In the future, he can let the people below propose that he help in the court again. There is no reason to participate in political affairs, and you have to charge into battle again. If you are in power, there should always be a few pawns below.

Japan's affairs came to an end for the time being, and before the updated information came, the imperial court made a decision to repair the Kaifeng city wall as always.

At first glance, the members of the two governments are all confused, and Han Gang, as the proposer, is even more confused. However, from the Queen Mother to Zhu Zaifu, no one has thought much about this decision, the next topic

, is the imminent question of the candidate for the examination examiner of the first year of the Yuanyou Rite Department. Wang Anshi's anger can also be said to be to heat up the next controversy.

Because of a palace change, the original lockdown period was delayed. In addition, many officials were involved in Cai Qu's rebellion case - whether they were really against the party or not, as long as they were suspected, it was impossible for the imperial court to arrange for them to serve the country - so that all the candidates for the examiners previously presided over by Cai Qu were annulled.

Later, because Han Gang proposed to promote Zaifu with officials above the servant system, the list of examiners has been pending - the imperial court wants to choose an examiner, and at least one two-system official must be the tribute. This would certainly not have been allowed to be diluted among the new parties, which were bent on monopolizing the induction list. Even if you delay for a little time for this, there are reasons such as the emperor's great trip and the prime minister's rebellion, so there is no need to worry about provoking Shilin's criticism for this.

But today, the selection of Zhigongju can no longer be delayed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what to propose if you know the candidates for the tribute ju?" The Queen Mother looked around the hall and asked the courtiers below.

The candidates for the Zhigong Ju are actually very easy to decide, and everything can be done by example.

It is not the first innovation, this is an examination that has lasted for hundreds of years since the Tang Dynasty, and there are precedents for future generations to refer to.

According to the practice in recent years, it is basically the current Hanlin scholar Quan Zhi Gongju, and then in the three halls or the Zhi Zhi Edict and the Imperial History, two or three people are selected to come out to the right to know the tribute. Then from the professors and doctors of Guozijian, as well as the Jinshi who were ranked in the first and second grades of the previous subject, a cadre was selected as the preliminary examiner, the re-examiner, as well as the reference officer, the seal officer, the arrangement officer, and so on.

And Sanya will also select a general to lead the palace guards to guard the tribute courtyard, and at the same time, Kaifeng Mansion will also send soldiers and generals in the palace to jointly block the inside and outside of the tribute courtyard. From the time the examiner entered the Tribute Courtyard and began to lock the courtyard, until the examination was completed, the Tribute Courtyard, located near the Kaibao Temple, was one of the most heavily guarded positions in the world, and it would not be slightly worse than the Imperial City.

However, among the examiners of one or twenty people, the most important is the Quan Zhi Gongju, who is the head of the examiners.

In addition to the status needs to be Yutang Huaxuan - at least comparable to the two systems - this person must also be outstanding in literature.

An official like Han Gang, even if he has a high reputation, if his literary level is too clumsy, he cannot be appointed as an examiner, so it is an extremely rare honor to be appointed as a Zhigongju.

However, if there was no election after half a month as the Queen Mother said herself, there would be no current entanglement at all.

Since the examiner is selected, he needs to enter the Gongyuan Lock Courtyard immediately, if he chooses one of the Hanlin scholars in the court, or the important ministers of the same status, to serve as the Zhigongju, then the court push after more than ten days will at least have one less vote, and maybe there will be one less candidate.

There are only a few qualified privy envoys in the court, let me ask Li Ding if he is willing to give up the opportunity to vote and do a term of power and tribute?

After the previous election, I am afraid that everyone understands that the weight of any one vote is the most important thing in terms of the number of people who participate in the vote. One vote is missing, and it is likely that all the previous plans will be in vain.

Although the betrayers who were able to jump out should have jumped out before, and the important ministers who voted next had already said in the previous election, when the hardcore new party like Li Chengzhi switched to Han Gang, who can guarantee that there will be no next Li Chengzhi and Wang Juqing?

One vote less is not just one vote, it's people's hearts. In the unlikely event that one more person switches to Qixue and the candidate of the New Party does not occupy the top three, the next Privy Counsellor is likely to be selected from among Han Gang's supporters.

After Han Gang became the governor of the political council, his side did have one vote less. But the impact of Han Gang's appointment as governor is far heavier than a vote. It is so heavy that Wang Anshi is worried that there will be more Wang Juqing and Li Chengzhi in the new party.

"Minister, Pu Zongmeng." Zhang Dian immediately said, "Pu Zong Meng has been in the Forbidden Forest for a long time, and he is worthy of paying tribute. ”

Han Gang also guessed that the New Party would choose Pu Zongmeng.

Among the Hanlin scholars, the first-ranked Hanlin bachelor Chengzhi Zeng Xiaokuan is the most suitable - if he has the qualification of Jinshi. It's a pity that he, like Lu Jiawen, is from a shadow supplement background, not a jinshi, and of course he can't know about the tribute. With Zeng Xiaokuan's qualifications, there is no problem in participating in political affairs, but he lacks the background of a jinshi, but he cannot be promoted to prime minister.

In addition to Zeng Xiaokuan and Lu Jiawen, among the three people who fought with Han Gang that day, Li Ding was a Jinshi. Although the Imperial History Zhongcheng is not as justifiable as the Hanlin Bachelor, he is barely qualified. It's just that he is definitely going to participate in the election of the deputy privy envoy, and after the position of the governor is occupied by Han Gang, the position of the deputy privy envoy left has become his only choice.

And Pu Zongmeng is not reliable for the New Party. He is extravagant and extravagant, and he is often criticized by others, but if he can choose him to pay tribute, it will save him from throwing himself into himself.

But Pu Zongmeng was a supporter of Li Ding, and Pu Zongmeng was not well informed in the Gongyuan, so the loss of his vote was a huge blow to Li Ding. As can be seen from the previous election, each candidate has no more than six or seven votes, and one vote less, which is the difference between the third and fourth places.

"Your Majesty." I heard Zhang Qi come out of class and say, "Half a month later, there is a matter of court push, if Pu Zongmeng knows about the tribute, he will not be allowed to attend the meeting, and this matter must be worried." ”

"Are there any ministers in the court who can know the tribute and are not allowed to participate in the court push?" Empress Dowager Xiang immediately asked.

"I don't." Zhang Qi said, "Therefore, among the ministers, those who know the tribute can decide who to recommend in advance, and the chapter will be sparse into the palace." ”

"Then the foreign officials above the waiter, do you also have to send a letter, let them decide first, recommend them on the table, and store them in the palace?" Su Song immediately went out of the class and asked, "As both attendants, how can you favor one over the other?!" ”

That's because there is a problem with Han Gang's promotion itself!

Zhang Qi screamed in his stomach, but he didn't dare to say it.

The important ministers in Beijing recommended Zaifu, and such a recommendation system was not reasonable. Even after Han Gang proposed it himself, he knew that sooner or later the Dao would be revised.

But opposition is impossible. When Han Gang made his proposal, it was conceivable that no one, including Wang Anshi and Zaifu, would try to prevent it from passing, and that the ministers would be on Han Gang's side, regardless of their party affiliation, would not agree to prevent them from gaining more power.

Even if they can only watch the same column in the capital now enjoy the power to decide the ownership of Zaifu, they would rather not have the right to vote now, and they will not agree to the Zaifu to be elected and abolished instead of them. Not now, but after returning to Beijing, I will have it. If it is abolished, who will cry in the future?

When the important ministers above the service system have the power to recommend, they have the power to check and balance the slaughter. In the future, who will be added to the post of servant, the meaning will not be as simple as in the past, but an important role related to the belonging of Zaifu. With such a powerful character, at least it can make Zaisuke smile a little more when he meets, instead of a condescending glance.

Zhang Qi couldn't argue, and Xiang Xiang supported Su Song to the Queen Mother: "As Su Qing said, since he can't be elected in front of the palace, then he can't be counted as one vote." Otherwise, it would be difficult to say about those attendants and scholars who were appointed outside. She asked Zhang Dian again, "Zhang Qing, do you still think Pu Zongmeng is suitable?" ”
