【2nd Update】

Placing the first ballot on the other side, Wang Zhongzheng immediately picked up the second one.

"Tianzhang Pavilion Straight Bachelor, Right Zhengyan, Fellow Practitioner of National History, Quan Zhi Taichang Liyuan Wang Cun - Zeng Xiaokuan."

After Wang Zhongzheng's long-term roll call, Zeng Xiaokuan's name also has one more horizontal. Wang Cun is not a new party, he is a neutral faction, he has always been not offended by both sides, he has stayed in the three halls for many years, and he has risen step by step, appearing harmless to people and animals. But he was recommended by Zeng Gongliang, and it is natural to stand on the side of Zeng Gongliang's son Zeng Xiaokuan.

"Baowen Pavilion Attendant, Right Commander, Judge Capital Water Supervisor Yang Ji - Lu Jia asked."

"Longtu Pavilion waiter, right counselor, know Guangzhou Chen Yi - Lu Jia asked."

"Longtu Pavilion waiter, living room, Zhiyuan Huang Lu - Lu Jia asked."

Chen Yi is an old senior, over sixty years old, and he has also done Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion and Hanlin Bachelor, but he was demoted for some reason, and then he recovered, and even he supported Lu Jiawen, which was unexpected.

Including him, the three of them all chose to ask Lu Jia, and a straight word will be filled soon.

The election is based on the orthography, which is the practice of the first election of the headquarters of the two major leagues. There is a righteous and bright meaning, and it is also convenient to count 1510, and it is also borrowed from it now.

Seeing Lu Jiawen leading the way for a while, the hearts of many courtiers churned. got four or five votes at the beginning, and Lu Jiawen was selected among the three, which is already a certainty. There can be no change. If the other people are too far away from him, it is not so convenient for the Empress Dowager Xiang to skip him and elect someone else, such as Han Gang, as the privy deputy envoy.

"Hanlin Bachelor's Will, Right Counselor Zeng Xiaokuan - Li Ding."

Wang Zhongzheng opened the ballots one by one with his own hands and continued to read, and soon there were ten people, among which Lu Jiawen had four votes, Li Ding and Zeng Xiaokuan, both had three votes, but Han Gang's name did not even have a horizontal one.

Han Gang felt as if he had become a tool for the New Party to strengthen its cohesion, otherwise Lu Jiawen and Li Ding would never have so many supporters.

But that's also his purpose. The more the new party is united, the more opposing sides will of course unite accordingly. At the moment, there was no vote, it was just a matter of order, and Han Gang was sure that he would not shave his head. There were also several members of the old party in the background.

However, Han Gang never intended to show up for the ideas of the old party, let alone agree with the political views of Wen Yanbo and others. The banner he raised was Qixue. With qi science as the core, there is no problem in forming an interest group, but if the old party wants to occupy the magpie's nest, it must have another explanation.

Compared with the determination in Han Gang's heart, Su Song was frowning.

Han Gang won't just lose, right?

Although it is said that what is being read out now are all members of the New Party, and there are also votes like Lu Jiawen to elect Zeng Xiaokuan, and Zeng Xiaokuan to elect Li Ding. But Han Gang hasn't had a single vote so far, and people still can't help but worry about him.

If Han Gang was not the so-called initiator of the election of Zaifu, he should have chosen to withdraw first when he encountered such a situation, lest the result be too ugly. But this time it was an experimental recommendation, and Han Gang, as an advocate, could not escape from the battle, and must be the first to participate. If Han Gang said that he would not participate in it and let others idle to do experiments, how would this convince others? And if he quits halfway and says that he won't play, it is tantamount to teasing everyone, even the Queen Mother's side, she can't protect him, and she must be punished.

From the very beginning, Han Gang's could only choose to persevere to the end.

Su Song glanced at Han Gang from afar, at least at this time, Han Gang's demeanor was still calm.

In the past, there were thousands of troops who had faced the enemy many times, and no one had ever heard of Han Gang's gaffe. At the moment, the scene in the Wende Hall seems to be a little small for Han Gang.

That's it!

Su Song calmed down a little.

He has long been a person in Qi science, and the truth of learning from things has been explained by his hands, not to mention that in every issue of "Nature", his articles are no less than Han Gang. In case Han Gang fails here, his prestige will plummet, and Xinxue will be arrogant, and Qi will probably be in ruin for a while.

It's just a matter of breaking the void as soon as possible.

Su Song looked at the snow-white under Han Gang's name and thought again.

"The Privy Council's direct bachelor, the official Langzhong, and the power of the herdsman Han Zongdao...... Han Gang. ”

Seeing that the grandson of Han Yi, the former governor of the political council, the son of Han Zong, and Han Jiang's nephew chose Han Gang, so that Han Gang finally had the first vote, although Su Song was a little surprised, he finally felt really relieved.

Although Han Jiang's two younger brothers, Han Zhen and Han Wei, did not stand on the side of the New Party, Han Zongdao has always been synchronized with Han Jiang, and his position also depends on the momentum of the Han family. But now he has chosen to support Han Gang. This makes people have to think deeply, is he expressing his attitude on behalf of Han Jiang?

If this is the case, then the dispute between the north and the south is really not just a rumor. After all, in the new party, Han Jiang, the only one who represents the northerners, did not choose to support his own people.

Not only Lu Jiawen, Li Ding and Zeng Xiaokuan, but also Wang Anshi and Zhang Dian all looked at Han Jiang, but Prime Minister Han Jiang lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, only looking at the wat board in his hand, but did not communicate with anyone.

After getting one vote from Han Zongdao, the next one was Lu Jiawen and Li Ding's one vote each.

Four of the first five votes were obtained, but after being skipped one after another, Lu Jiawen asked the word 'positive' in his name to finally make up for the last stroke, but the previous advantage no longer exists. However, Han Gang was still ranked fourth, but it made Lu Jiawen feel a little more relaxed in his heart while he was nervous. I hope that this advantage can be maintained to the bottom.

was left far behind by Lu Jiawen, and Han Gang finally got another vote: "Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion, Right Shi Langzhong, Hanlin Bachelor Shen Kuo: Han Gang." ”

Through this vote, Shen Kuo's position can finally be determined. More people figured out the reason why Shen Kuo jumped out to impeach a group of candidates and electors before. However, this style of acting is too abnormal, and it is not at all like Han Gang, who is used to being direct, so doubts also arise and cannot be determined. It's just that when people shifted their eyes to Han Gang's face, they still couldn't see any reaction from him.

The heart is like the danger of mountains and rivers, and the chest has the beauty of the city. This is just the basic skill of the court, but at this time, it can still be perfect, and Han Gang's concentration has begun to be hated.

Especially the green ministers below, because they have nothing to do with themselves, they want to see some unexpected scenes. For example, the impeachment of Shen Kuo in Fangcai, or the scene of the death of Neizen or the Emperor Taishang a little earlier. Of course, such as the rebellion of Cai Qu and the two kings, even the situation of the Imperial City Division's personal servants and Banzhi guards instigating it is too dangerous, and if there is as little as possible, try to reduce it as little as possible.

"Senior Minister's Palace, Waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Han Gang of the Great Library: Abstain from the ticket."

"Bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion, Right Counselor, Li Ding in the Imperial History: Lu Jia asked."

After all, Han Gang still didn't have the face to recommend himself, so he recommended himself. But so far, except for Han Gang, not a single vote has been abstained. This is the power of the waiters, if you can't exercise it well, you will be sorry for yourself now, and it will be difficult to see your descendants in the future.

Li Ding's side didn't have any scruples, he recommended Lu Jiawen. Now Lu Jiawen, Li Ding and Zeng Xiaokuan have become a cycle, turning around and recommending one by one. It felt a little ridiculous, but no one on Han Gang's side could laugh.

Ah, no.

Han Gang's face, which had always been unwavering, finally changed a little, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked up. As if laughing. It's just that looking at its expression, there is an obvious taste of irony.

Fan Chunren's attention has been focused on Han Gang's body. The change in the expression on his face did not escape the eyes of Fan Zhongyan's second son.

From Lu Jiawen, Li Ding, and Zeng Xiaokuan, it can be seen that there is an obvious party struggle.

Is this the scene that Han Gang wants the Queen Mother to see?

Fan Chunren thought, and then heard his name,

"Baowen Pavilion Servant, Right Shilangzhong, Zhiqi Prefecture Fan Chunren - Han Gang."

Accepting Fu Bi's advice, Fan Chunren didn't know whether it was right or wrong. At least as things stand, there is some hope.

After Fan Chunren, after Zeng Xiaokuan's vote, Han Gang was once again promoted:

"Longtu Pavilion servant, right counselor, know Tianfu Sun Jue - Han Gang."

It's the old party again.

Lu Jia wanted to laugh when he asked.

Sun Juehao "Yi", likes to read "Spring and Autumn", has written a lot, and his academic system is self-contained, which is completely different from Wang Anshi and Han Gang. Instead of supporting the new party based on new learning, it is easy to understand, but choosing Han Gang, who pays attention to learning from things and has doubts about all scriptures and meanings, and the signs of the old party completely falling to Han Gang are becoming more and more obvious.

Perhaps the next red banner of the old party is surnamed Han Minggang.

The more the old party supports Han Gang, the less likely it is that members of the new party will vote for him. After Han Gang's failure this time, the next election to participate in political affairs will be the same as today's.

Do you want the Queen Mother to hold a court push after all the officials above the servant system have been assessed as the new party and the old party? That also requires Wang Anshi to agree.

Now, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Anshi to allow his life's work to be threatened in the slightest. If Han Gang is dizzy and serves the old party, his father-in-law, who has always been hesitant, will be able to make a decision

Finish.

Nearly 20 ballots have been read, and the orthography under Han Gang's name has not yet been completed, the same as Li Ding and Zeng Xiaokuan, only Lu Jia asked the most. But it didn't leave the other three too far behind. The votes of the four people are still in a state of anxiety.

"Baowen Pavilion Waiter, Right Counselor, Hebei Metropolitan Transit Envoy Li Chengzhi - Han Gang!"

Wang Zhongzheng's accent made Han Gang get the fifth vote, and it also made Lu Jiawen's face change, Zeng Xiaokuan and Li Ding were in disbelief for a while.

Li Chengzhi actually chose to support Han Gang!

Lee Seung-zhi is a member of the New Party, and he is an absolute backbone. One of the proposers of the Exemption Law, he was a participant at the beginning of the reform. In the new party, he had an excellent friendship with Zhang Dan, and he was one of the people who recommended Zhang Duan to Wang Anshi in the first place. If he hadn't made a mistake in the appointment of the third envoy and was demoted, he would definitely be one of the contenders for the position of Zaifu now.

Zeng Xiaokuan knew that Han Gang had a relationship with Li Chengzhi, but who had no friendship with Li Chengzhi at the core of the New Party?

Is it because they are all northerners?!

But then there was another vote in favor of Han Gang, but it was a standard southerner, and it was the old party, "Baowen Pavilion to be systematized, Li Chang in the right Shilang - Han Gang." ”

Li Chang is an old friend of Wang Anshi, but because of the change of law, he parted ways with Wang Anshi. He has served as an official abroad for many years, and has recently returned to Beijing after serving in Huaixi Tidian Prison. was going to be transferred, but he stayed in the capital due to illness, and he didn't go out for a while, but now he happened to be in the palace, and he also got a vote.

The separation between the north and the south, and the struggle between the old and new parties, cannot be completely separated. Northerners can vote for the new party, and southerners can vote for the old party. However, the votes cast for Lu Jiawen, Li Ding, and Zeng Xiaokuan, the origins of the voters subtly appeared to be too southern.

"Fujian, Fujian, Jiangdong, Kaifeng, Fujian, Jiangxi...... Today, I finally know what it means to be the same party and fight against differences. ”

The laughter of the Empress Dowager Xiang made Yang Jian beside her feel creepy. In the hands of the Queen Mother, holding a list, after each person's name, is the official's place of origin. At a glance, there are basically all southerners, and there are very few northerners.

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the new party and the old party, except for those core figures of the two parties with clear banners, many of the rest of the people will support whom on the stage, but their origins cannot be faked, and they can be seen clearly.

It is well known to the world that the new party has more southerners and the old party has more northerners. Although Han Gang's supporters are few, they are all in the north and south, while the supporters of the other three are concentrated in the south, with only one or two exceptions.

Even if you watch the Niu Li Party Struggle on the Zizhi Tongjian dozens of times, it is not as intuitive as the live drama in front of you. What's more, Empress Dowager Xiang didn't read Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" at all, although she had just recently presented some newly written chapters.

"But now that I've agreed, let's do it. If you see more, you will know the way. Empress Dowager Xiang sneered.
