Chapter 21: Seeking the Good Wood and Returning to the Holy Crowd (11)
Moments before the opening of the gate of the imperial city, Su Song, who had been ill for many days, hurriedly arrived.
After being sick for many days in order to escape the heat, Su Song's mental state today is very good.
Han Gang saw that his heart was blocked in a panic. Since the start of the war, the affairs of the two provinces have increased sharply, and their own family has lost a lot of weight during this time, but Su Song will raise his face to be ruddy, and he has gained two points of weight.
When Su Song walked over, Han Gang asked angrily, "Is the prime minister happy?" ”
Su Song replied: "Those who can work harder." ”
Han Gang was slightly stunned for a moment, as if he had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had had this kind of conversation before.
"I heard there will be a good show today." Su Song asked with a low smile.
Han Gang was a little surprised, it was rare for Su Song to joke, "Only monkeys play to watch, does Brother Zirong watch it?" ”
“…… I really don't want to see it," Su Song said after being silent for a while, "There are all this generation in Taiwan, and we are at fault." ”
"The appointment of the imperial history has nothing to do with the prime minister. What's more, how many people in the world are there who can be like three people? ”
When Su Songzheng was a scholar in the middle school, he and his colleagues Song Minqiu and Li Dalin jointly refused to draft the edict of Li Ding's relocation to supervise the imperial history, and returned the prefix, and was finally dismissed by the Son of Heaven together, which was a serious political event and a huge setback in the process of the old party against the new party. Although Su Song and the other three were later publicized by the old party as Sansheren, the old party's power in the Chinese book has shrunk a lot.
Su Song tugged at the corners of his mouth, Han Gang's sycophant shot made him uncomfortable.
Facts have proved that their original argument was a complete mistake and used it as a gun. And the people of the three houses are the people of the three houses, and the imperial history is the imperial history. Zhongshu Sheren can return the prefix, can reject the edict, can restrain the Son of Heaven, and the imperial history is the Son of Heaven's weapon to restrain the ministers, otherwise to supervise the appointment of the imperial history, will not bypass the two governments, do not give the prime minister and the privy envoy the right to recommend, the two are not easy to compare.
"Yushitai used the mantis arm as a car three times and twice, are you tired of Yukun?" Su Song changed the subject.
"You have to let people talk, and if you don't let people talk to your face, you'll have bad things behind it. Compared with the two, it would be better for people to say a few words. ”
"It's so confident."
"It's not that Han Gang is sure. There are two railways to protect Shen Kuo, whether it is a praying mantis or a crow, they can't stop the wheels that run over. ”
'The Wheel of History?' Su Song smiled knowingly.
Although there are many words in "Travels in the Nine Domains", there are many allusions and inconsequential words, but now they are really spreading, and one or two can often be heard popping out of someone's mouth.
Today, the imperial historians dare to make trouble in the Wende Palace, but they just think that Wang Zhongzheng's appointment is the queen mother's statement. And what is the attitude of the queen mother, although Su Song also wants to know the way, but he knows better that Shen Kuo's position is made by real merits, even if he can't be a zaifu, he is still an important minister of the court, and the track service is still inseparable from him as a skilled hand for the time being. And the imperial historians, if they still act according to the conventions of the past, the end will never be much better.
The cannon sounded, the city gate slowly opened, and a new day finally began.
Han Gang glanced at several imperial historians in front of the city gate cave, as well as Cheng Shu Yan in the imperial history who lived behind the people, and said to Su Song: "It's time to go in." ”
It's time to go in, Han Gang looked back, nodded at Shen Kuo, who was still nervous, and walked into the door with Su Song.
……………………
Gong Yuan stood still at the corner of the Wende Hall and clenched the wat board in his hand.
Today's purpose is not to overthrow Han Gang, or even block Shen Kuo's inauguration, he is not so insistent, Gong Yuan only wants the queen mother and the emperor to remember him, but to expand his reputation, and in the new party, he can also get better recognition.
Han Gang's strong support for Shen Kuo was a mistake. And with Han Gang's character, and for his own prestige, in the opposition of the imperial historians, he will only make a mistake to the end - this is not Li Nangong's third envoy, he is the candidate for the presiding officer of the railway construction, and the most important part of Han Gang's planning, the minister of power will never compromise on this.
Whether it is out of public intentions or selfish desires, striking Shen Kuo, Han Gang, is a matter of great benefit.
Su Song led a group of people to salute the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother in the Wende Palace, after the ceremony, the atmosphere in the court suddenly tensed, but the Queen Mother's speech made the atmosphere a little slower, "The Queen Mother is seriously ill today, I should drop out of the court and pray for the Queen Mother." From tomorrow, the day will be five days. Su Xianggong and Han Xianggong, please lead the two of you to the Great Xiangguo Temple to pray for the Queen Mother. ”
said that she had dropped out of the dynasty, and the important tasks that needed to be handled by the Queen Mother would still be delivered to her on time, but there was no red tape every morning.
No one came out to object, this is just a very small thing, and the queen mother is not out of filial piety to the queen mother, whether it is to drop out of the dynasty or pray for blessings from the ministers, it just has to go through a form. But Su Song still took the lead and praised the Queen Mother's pure filial piety. Together with Han Gang, he took over the task of going to Daxiangguo Temple.
Gong Yuan held his breath, he didn't care about dropping out of the dynasty, and the next should be the court push that everyone was expecting. As long as this time can be successful, it doesn't matter how long the Queen Mother drops out of the dynasty.
Tightening the wat board in his hand, wiping and wiping his sweaty palm, Gong Yuan became more and more nervous, and when it came to the end, it was so difficult for him to get out of the last step. But when his gaze swept over the opposite Wenchen and fixed on Shen Kuo's body, his body finally stopped shaking.
…………………………
Han Gang moved slightly, allowing his vision to include the imperial historians in the corners. After praising the filial piety of the Queen Mother, the ministers returned to the train, and one of the most important topics of the day is about to begin. If the Goshidai wants to make trouble, it's almost time.
Han Gang didn't interfere much in the Yushi Tai, he always thought that doing practical things was more important than talking about it. Although Yu Shitai's position is very important, the people in his pocket are basically in the dispatch of things.
The status of a function is not fixed. For example, the privy envoy was only a close minister of the Son of Heaven at the beginning, but now he can compete with the prime minister. Another example is the name of the servant, which was originally the prime minister's officer, but then it became an official position in the inner court that was opposed to the outer court controlled by the prime minister, and then it became the position of the prime minister.
Supervising the imperial history has always been a tool for the Son of Heaven to restrain his subordinates, and since the founding of the country, this tool has been working very well, although it has gradually become independent, but it still performs very well in suppressing the basic use of Zaifu.
In order to implement the new law, the first emperor Zhao Ji tossed the Yushitai several times, and the old and new parties also competed for the vacancy of the Yushitai in order to control the government and crack down on political opponents. After all these years of suppression, the quality of Yushitai has declined more and more, and most of them are opportunists. The prestige that Wutai has cultivated in Shilin has also fallen over the years. Whether it is Han Gang or Zhang Dan, they don't mind pushing it again in this process.
But now, the Imperial Observatory will inevitably struggle a little.
Not only is Han Gang waiting, but Zhang Dian is also looking forward to it, and the important ministers and courtiers below are also looking forward to it.
A good show, or a monkey show in the eyes of some.
Eyes widened and impatient.
As expected by the courtiers, including Zaifu, when the court push began and Shen Kuo's name was first proposed, Yushitai was the first to attack.
"Shen Kuo has outstanding talents, famous works in the government and the opposition, and he has promoted railway engineering service to show his talents, and there is no need to say more. In terms of merit and talent, no one is allowed to do so. The ministers raised Shen Kuo as an alternative for the two governments. ”
As soon as Wang Juqing's words fell, in the corner of the Wende Palace, he immediately shouted with exhaustion: "Your Majesty, Shen Kuo cannot be selected!" Shen Kuo must not be selected! ”
Gong Yuan strode forward, and the courtiers who were standing in front of him were like the sea being separated, making way for him.
Gong Yuan's steps were slightly bigger, hurried and fast, the footsteps crackled, and in a blink of an eye, he walked to the center of the hall.
Bowing down to the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister supervises the original performance of the imperial history Gong." According to the story, he was impeached by the imperial history, and Zongzai Fu also had to retreat to wait for a judgment. Shen Kuo has committed a crime, it is difficult to complete the book, and now there are many bullet seals in the imperial history presented to His Majesty, how can he be allowed to sit in the court? ”
Han Gang immediately became the focus of attention of hundreds of eyes in the hall, but Shen Kuo didn't receive much attention, and even if he did, it was only a fleeting moment.
Everyone knows who is this impeachment aimed at?
Han Gang didn't move, but his expression showed that he was confident. The gaze cast on Han Gang was immediately full of doubts, didn't he plan to come out himself, but arranged for someone else to come out to refute?
Wang Juqing, Pu Zongmeng, or Zhuangyuanlang?
Or is it another member of the Korean Party?
"Didn't I stay in those bullets? How can you still talk about it?! ”
A reprimand came from the north of the main hall, with a strong dissatisfaction, which made the ministers tremble and made Gong Yuan's face pale.
It was the Queen Mother who was speaking.
"Your Majesty is ......," Gong Yuan trembled.
Obeying the instructions of the Queen Mother is the behavior of a loyal minister. Since the Queen Mother expressed her dissatisfaction with Han Gang's recommendation of Shen Kuo, of course they, who were courtiers, had to echo the Queen Mother's wishes. But how could the Queen Mother, who had just let go of Wang Zhongzheng, be upset for Shen Kuo?
For a moment, there was silence. Yushi, who was originally scheduled to appear, stopped one by one to check the style. And the ministers in the palace were waiting for someone among them to dare to come out to defend.
"Your Majesty!" The second place in the imperial history is listed, and it is the new imperial history Yang Wei: "Shen Kuoren, although he is young and talented, his character is really bad, and he is not enough to be an assistant." And it is rumored that Han Xianggong attributed all the railways to a ya, and wanted to guard the railways with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and take charge of the military, politics and punishment, and Shen Kuo was in charge. Tens of thousands of troops are outside, and there are classes and guards inside, and the key points are all in the hands of the prime minister, the queen mother, you must prevent changes in your elbows and armpits! ”
Han Gang slurped his lips slightly. His calculations were just a little bit of a leak, and they spread so quickly. However, it is also possible that the hero sees the same thing and simply makes it up. The imperial history has the right to hear about it, whether he heard about it, or whether he deliberately made it up to attack him, Han Gang didn't know.
But what Han Gang wants to do is also what all the big families in the world have a heart to think. It will be much more convenient to order a door, whether it is to find someone to dredge it or to meddle in real power. He didn't care if someone attacked him about it.
But what the Queen Mother's reaction will be, after so many years, Han Gang can't be sure.
"I have heard people read history, and there are obviously famous generals who lead the army outside, but they are always unable to defeat the enemy. State affairs are ruined by such villains, and the battle in the south has not yet been over, so they are anxious to cook rabbits and dogs? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, and when I see Wang Zhongzheng going out, I think I'm going to investigate Shen Kuo? Why don't you see a few people talking about it? But seeing that the Queen Mother was furious, "Shu Yan, Yushi Taizhong is such a traitor, how did you discipline it?" ”
Li Ding, who is two up and two down, is no longer in the position of the imperial history, and the current imperial history of the Chinese Cheng Shu Yan protested: "You can't go to the thief for the court, you can't argue for the queen mother, the minister really has it!" ”
