Chapter 12: The Temple (3)

[The three chapters that are automatically updated after the National Day have not even set a time.,I'm really sorry for you.] I only found out today, I looked back, and what I wrote in a hurry during the festival was not satisfactory, and I revised it again, and now I send it out. There are a total of five shifts tonight, and this is the first shift. 】

Li Chengzhi is reading today's new newspaper.

In front of him is a bowl of mixed rice porridge, five or six dishes of side dishes, old, health and blessings, eating and drinking are based on simple and light taste.

From time to time, the chopsticks scratched a few times in the dishes, and the eyes got into the newspaper, and they didn't leave it for a moment.

Although you are a governor of political affairs, Li Chengzhi, like many people in Beijing, gets up in the morning to eat and read the newspaper at the same time, and does not care about personal image issues.

However, today's situation is especially serious, the old servant who served Li Chengzhi's side, his eyes swirled between Li Chengzhi's focused face and the gruel dishes spilled on the table.

The old man, who had to check the results of the servants' cleaning work with his fingers on the table and window edge of Li Chengzhi's study every morning, could not decide for the time being, whether to remind his master to pay attention to the following image, or let him continue to think at the dining table.

Lee Seung-zhi was engrossed in a report.

Two days earlier, the news of Wang Anshi's entry into the Temple of Literature was disclosed in the newspapers, causing an uproar in the Jingshi Shilin and the court.

This article is its follow-up, clarifying the world's doubts and showing Han Gang's ambitions. I think many people today have suddenly realized.

But Li Chengzhi is not, as a political counselor, of course he knows Han Gang and Zhang Dan's calculations.

Thinking that the outside world was still speculating about Han Gang's intentions two days ago, and he couldn't learn the truth until today, even if Li Chengzhi was old and spicy, the city government was like an abyssal sea, and he couldn't help but have a sense of superiority in his heart.

It's just that Han Gang sent Zhang Zai to the Temple of Literature, which should also be reasonable, and he only supported Wang Anshi for his own entry into the Temple of Literature, and the two guesses should be half of each. It's just that the talk of Han Gang paving the way for himself is very loud, and if you think about it carefully, it's weird.

Li Chengzhi scrutinized the text in one report after another, but he didn't figure out the key to it. It's just that according to common sense, it should be related to Han Gang.

In any case, when the newspaper is in Han Gang's hands, he wants that kind of rumor to circulate, and there will be which rumor to circulate.

It doesn't have to be published in the newspaper, but a net spread out in order to dig up news can spread any news in the Jingshi to Han Gang's ears, and it can also spread Han Gang's wishes to all parts of the Jingshi.

Li Chengzhi's eyes darkened a little.

Such a sharp weapon can't be held in his own hands, but let others control it like an arm, and at his level, he has to sleep with one eye open to feel at ease.

At the beginning, the content of the two express newspapers was just a league battle report and an advertisement, mixed in the countless tabloids and unveiled posts in the capital, and most of the court did not pay attention to it. And the backers behind the two major leagues, the surname Zhao, the surname Cao, the surname Gao, and the surname Xiang are full of them, and among the courtiers with long-term vision, no one wants to be in the limelight, they just want to wait and see.

This delay can no longer be reversed. By the time many people of insight in the court felt that even if they would provoke a counterattack from the nobles of the clan, Han Gang had already become a representative of the imperial court.

After being a thief = Taiwan, but he is in charge of catching a thief, and the result is naturally self-evident.

Han Gang firmly grasped the public opinion of Jingshi through the newspaper, and even if Li Chengzhi was the successor of the internal designation, he would not think that he had a chance to get involved. Unless you stay up until Han Gang dies.

Han Qi is dead, Fu Bi is dead, Sima Guang is dead, and Wang Anshi is also dead, but Wen Yanbo is still brazenly alive, they are all ninety years old, and they look like they want to be a centenarian.

And Han Gang, even if he doesn't mention the stubble of the disciple of the Medicine King who is falsely rumored, he himself is good at health preservation, and his physique is strong, even if he is not compared with Wen Yanbo, he can still live at the age of seventy or eighty.

Thirty or forty years later, Li Chengzhi himself didn't expect to see it.

Just like two days ago, I talked about Han Gang's entry into the Confucian Temple. Whether Han Gang can enter the Temple of Literature in the future is a matter of decades later, let the people at that time deal with it, as for now, just take care of the present.

Out of interest, Li Chengzhi put away the newspaper and quietly finished today's breakfast.

The early morning was short, but much longer than it used to be.

There is no need to go to court, there is no need to get up early, the daily capital hall meeting has just begun, and the council meeting is held once every ten days, and for the Zaisuke, their daily life can become very relaxing and leisurely.

Li Chengzhi is used to getting up after dawn, eating breakfast leisurely, then meeting one or two guests, and then taking the car to the capital.

If one day, when Li Chengzhi is about to get up when he returns to Yinshi, he also wants to rebel.

Every morning, the guests that Li Chengzhi will receive are of great importance, but it is certainly something he doesn't plan to spend too much time receiving.

The one who came to the door at the appointed time today was a close disciple of Han Zhongyan of Taichang Rite Academy.

Han Zhongyan is the son of Han Qi, and he is only discussing politics, and he has no ambition in the DPRK - if you look at it from his roots. Now he is taking the path of Li Chengzhi.

Li Chengzhi intends to use the connections of the Han family to expand his power, but Han Zhongyan's recent request makes it difficult for Li Chengzhi to accept.

"It's not that I don't want to help Shi Pu. It was really Wang Yansuo recommended by Shi Pu who was disgusted by Zhang Xiang, how did he do the discussion? ”

Wang Yansuo used to be a native of Han Qimen, and Han Zhongyan wanted to promote Wang Yansuo into the council, naturally because he had his selfish intentions.

Li Chengzhi naturally shirked this repeatedly, on the one hand, Wang Yansuo was not happy, and on the other hand, Li Chengzhi did not want to see Han Zhongyan anti-guest.

When the doorman heard Li Chengzhi's refusal, he didn't show embarrassment, but it seemed that he expected it.

"I heard that Zhang Xiang intends to be the prime minister and privy councilor." The doorman whispered.

Li Chengzhi's face changed slightly.

The capital hall is the office of the two governments, and at the same time, the hands and feet of the prime minister are naturally extended into the Privy Council.

Nowadays, the prime minister has discussed major military affairs, and the prime minister wants to concurrently serve as a privy envoy, and there have long been rumors in Beijing, and even in the past few years, there have been many of the following ministers who have written to ask the prime minister to serve as a privy envoy and fight for a wealth from it. However, over the years, the two prime ministers have never really done it.

But lately, rumors are no longer rumors.

Han Gang was about to leave office, and Zhangdun's will to control the affairs of the military state became stronger.

Li Chengzhi also heard a little news from Han Gang, saying that the prime minister was also the privy envoy, and it was his intervention in the military that was justified, but he handled the daily affairs of the Privy Council, and he was still the only privy council official, not an official of the Eastern Government.

This is Han Gang's plan to take precautions. To avoid future conflicts, give way first. Admit the fact that the prime minister intervened in the military, which is already a reality, and then draw a line, so as to prevent Zhang Dian from gaining another inch in the future.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to exchange with Zhangdu. To ensure that in the future, the Prime Minister, despite his monopoly of power, must also be checked by the Great Council.

According to Li Chengzhi's speculation, in the future, the East Mansion will set up two ministers and three staff members to continue the current situation. In the Privy Council, in addition to the post of Privy Council of the same signatory, which is granted to military generals, there are five other positions.

Privy Counsellor, Privy Councillor, Privy Vice-Counsellor, Privy Councillor, Privy Councillor, Privy Councillor Counsellor, Privy Councillor Privy Councillor Privy Councillor Among them, the privy envoy is concurrently served by the prime minister. The second minister only manages the east mansion and does not ask about the affairs of the western mansion.

Lee Seung-zhi was not satisfied with this. But he asked himself to hide it well. Whether it's the prediction of the future changes in the city, or my own emotions, it's very hidden, and some people will see it unconsciously.

However, today's guest from Han Zhongyan's door is testing him.

Is it Han Zhongyan who has already gotten the news? When did he find out?

Li Cheng's heart changed rapidly, his changed face had returned to normal, and he glanced at it casually, "Oh, there is such a thing?" ”
