Zheng Xia's upper-class people made the Son of Heaven angry, Han Gang entered the pair, and Wang Anshi stayed in the palace.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind will be blowing. Such important news, which was very likely to change the political situation, spread in the imperial city in less than half an hour. Now how many pairs of eyes are looking at the Yanhe Palace, waiting for the latest verdict of the Son of Heaven.

Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing, who had informed Han Gang earlier, had returned to the political hall and waited in the public hall for the inspection of the Chinese book, and Lu Jiawen, Zeng Xiaokuan and other core members of the new party were informed, and hurried over to the political hall like rabbits with their tails on fire.

As soon as a few people met, Lu Jiawen and Zeng Xiaokuan confirmed the rumors in Wang Yan's mouth, and they originally had a glimmer of hope for what to do, but now they all turned into panic.

Han Gang's intentions in Baima County are all true, and the displaced people in the capital have now been resettled, Zheng Xia's attack is actually unfounded, that is, the displaced people are trying to make trouble. But in many cases, the victory or defeat of political disputes is not based on facts, but on needs—the needs of the Son of Heaven, the needs of the imperial court, and the needs of all the people in the world.

Now the drought is all over the world, and it lasts for seven months, and it is no problem to say that it has been dry for two years in a row. Now that the public is raging and needs an outlet, it is difficult to say that the Son of Heaven will not take this opportunity to kick Wang Anshi out as a scapegoat.

The crime is ready-made, the power and traitor are in charge of the country, the holy monarch is hoodwinked, and the mouths of the people are clamped, so that the lower feelings cannot be reached, but the discipline is disordered, and the world is in a catastrophe. Fortunately, Zheng Xia, a young minister, fought with his life, drew a map of the displaced people, and presented the tragic situation of the displaced people to the imperial case. Otherwise, I don't know how long the Son of Heaven will be deceived by the power traitor......

What an excuse! What a reason!

If they weren't worried about this, when they saw Han Gang at the pavilion gate just now, why would Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing be so anxious that they would vomit blood.

No matter how far away, how did the Qingli New Deal fail?

It was not Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi who reformed the official system and were attacked by scholars, but their biggest supporters, Prime Minister Du Yan, and his son-in-law Su Shunqin had problems. Su Shunqin was an official in the Chongwen Pavilion, sold the waste calligraphy and paper in the hall, and then took the money to recruit prostitutes and banquets, drink and compose poems. Although it was customary to use old paper, it was never written. This time Fan Zhongyan's political opponent Lu Yijian caught the handle, and all the young talents attending the meeting were expelled from the court, and even Du Yan was offended, so that the new policy presided over by Fan Zhongyan was cut off at once, and he had to go out. A small matter that is not a big deal has made the huge Qingli New Deal disappear in a blink of an eye, and the idiom of 'catch them all' also comes from this.

However, all political disputes almost always start from small things, or a small minister comes forward, first provokes a war, and then waves of impeachment and criticism, and finally uproots the opponent. And the current situation, it is obvious that this is the number of roads. After several months of brewing, although the counterattack of the New Party in the center solved a number of grain merchants who came out, the current situation of long-term drought and no rain made Wang Anshi unable to hold back his position, and it is likely that because of the impeachment of a prison officer, the Son of Heaven completely abandoned the New Party.

Lu Jiawen was so anxious that he was about to cry at this time, in order to serve Wang Anshi, he betrayed his home. Back then, he took the draft of his uncle Lu Gongbi to Wang Anshi and was scolded as a thief. I thought that I would take advantage of this to soar, but now I am afraid that it will be the result of resettlement in Yuanzhou. If Wang Anshi falls, he will inevitably bear the brunt of the city's promotion, and it will be impossible for him to escape.

The city of Yi Si, who made the merchants in the capital frightened, was moving back and forth inside and outside the hall at this time. I don't know how many times I turned back and forth, and when I stepped out of the hall door again, a purple suddenly appeared in front of me, and a slender and straight figure stood in front of me. He raised his head, and it turned out to be Feng Jing, the governor of the political affairs!

Feng Jing had a calm face and stared at Lu Jia fiercely. Lu Jia was still confused in his mind, first subconsciously stepped aside, and then reacted to salute Feng Jing.

Feng Jing, on the other hand, took a step forward, glanced towards the hall, didn't say a word, snorted angrily and walked through the door, and walked straight away.

It's just that a few people inside and outside the hall know that Feng Jing is afraid that his stomach is smiling now. is a good politician, no longer he sits in his own hall, and runs to the public hall of the Zhongshu inspection to pass by, what is he doing? He came out to see the wind!

Staring at Feng Jing's back, Lu Jia asked with hatred. Wang Yan and Zeng Xiaokuan also had cold faces.

Among the crowd, only Lu Huiqing was the most peaceful, and he didn't show the slightest anxiety from beginning to end, "Hope, don't be anxious." With Xianggong and Han Yukun here, there will be no big changes. ”

Lu Jia asked and shook his head, it was Han Gang who made people anxious!

In terms of relationship, in addition to Wang Yan and Wang Fang, Han Gang is the closest to Wang Anshi. But Han Gang is the most alienated from the new law in the new party, and it is actually very reluctant to count him as a new party. Whether it is from the background or the background school, he has no direct relationship with Wang Anshi.

For the New Party, Han Gang's attitude has always been like a departure, sometimes helping, sometimes making trouble, although his ability, status, and intelligence are all recognized by others, but even if he is the Son of Heaven, he will not regard it as Wang Anshi's lineage.

To put it mildly, today's matter, Han Gang doesn't need to stand on Wang Anshi's side and die together, he just needs to wash away the grievances on his body. With the importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to Han Gang, the crime cannot be pressed on his head.

Lu Jia asked, how could he believe that Han Gang would be on the side of the New Party?

……………………

In the Yanhe Palace, after listening to Han Gang's recital, Wang Anshi was surprised.

Whether it is arguing that most of the displaced people are because the new law has not been implemented for a long time, or explaining to the Son of Heaven why the people are still displaced after five years of the new policy, it can be seen that Han Gang is completely on the side of the new party and fully supports the new law.

And Zhao Ji thought about Han Gang's words carefully, and sighed: "However, there are rich and poor in the world, and the law of three generations is difficult to implement in the world, can we only watch the people be displaced after a disaster?" …… I don't know if Han Qing has any good plans? ”

Of course Han Gang didn't. What the future generations can't solve, how can he have tricks. You can't say anything about being rich and poor, what Wang Xiaobo said, how can Han Gang be in front of Zhao Ji, robbing the rich and helping the poor can't be used as a means. But the Son of Heaven's question cannot but be answered: "Helping the needy is also peaceful." ”

Zhao Ji shook his head: "Closing positions can only save emergencies, not always ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost." Han Gang dragged Lao Tzu to be a helper, "The taxes of the imperial court, even if they can't be taken from the rich people, but used for the poor, should be the same." ”

"Fang Tian is taxed?"

Although the opposition to the new law from outside Kaifeng was dwarfed by the turmoil caused by the city's change law in the capital, the Fangtian Average Tax Law, which was also implemented in Xining five years ago, was also greatly resisted.

The fields in the countryside are hidden, and there are many wealthy households, and the fields must be inventoried, but of course the scholars and doctors are strongly opposed. At the same time, the work of reclassifying the fields and equalizing the taxes was led by the chief of the wealthy households, so that the rich people could take advantage of them, and thus gave the opponents enough excuses.

And Han Gang now supports Fang Tianjun's tax law, and he nodded: "Not only that. The law of exemption from military service and convenient loans for the people all uphold this intention - to govern in the public and make the people stable. ”

Han Gang has already made it clear that he is on the side of the New Party. Now that he has accepted the post of government leader, it is inevitable that he will become the target of the old party. Han Gang, who is already mentally prepared for this, of course can't be a carefree faction anymore.

But standing in line also has to talk about a timing, when he married Wang Anshi's daughter last year, he didn't stand in line, because it was when the new party was in full swing, and if he went, he would only be seen as becoming inflammatory, and now it is the time when the new party is in crisis, and now standing up with a clear banner can have more benefits than the previous two years - the icing on the cake, how can it be a charcoal in the snow.

After receiving Han Gang's answer, Zhao Ji didn't ask any more questions, and asking again was the empty words he was used to hearing, "The affairs of the Gyeonggi refugees depend on Han Qing." ”

Han Gang bowed and saluted: "This is the reason why His Majesty is using his ministers." ”

"Duo Laoqing's family." Zhao Ji nodded, and suddenly sighed again: "Now I am looking forward to the rain from the sky." ”

Although all this has been said, in the end, it is only a response to the displaced people, and it does not touch on the core issue.

How can today's drought be solved?

Thinking about Hebei and Gyeonggi, where it has not rained for several months, Zhao Ji still can't let go. Was this natural disaster caused by a man-made disaster? Otherwise, why would Zheng Xia dare to gamble with his life?

Wang Anshi wanted to speak and stopped, glanced at his son-in-law, and did not speak. Han Gang hesitated, his eyes firm.

This troubled water in the political arena, since you have stepped in, don't think that your body can still be clean. The whirlpool has swept through, but it doesn't matter if you are a decent gentleman or a despicable villain. Since Zheng Xia has already determined that he is the enemy and has attacked himself, Han Gang will not leave half a point because of the other party's moral character.

"Speaking of rain, Your Majesty is sincerely moving, there are more and more stratus clouds in Beijing these days, and there may be rain in the near future." Han Gang said. It is a pity that there is no hygrometer in this era, otherwise it can be used to infer the probability of rainfall. But the air has become humid in the last two days, and before he went out this morning, he paid special attention to it, "Yesterday morning, I saw dew gathering on the trees in the courtyard. And this morning the minister is in the post house, and he also sees it......"

Zheng Xia swore an oath that he would beg outside the Xuande Gate without rain for ten days, but Han Gang gently and skillfully laid out the facts, he would not say anything, nor did he lie, let alone attack Zheng Xia, but it was enough to guide Zhao Ji to think in the direction he wanted.

Zhao Ji followed Han Gang's words and thought about it. The so-called 'mountain clouds are steaming, and the pillars are moist', seeing dew on the trees and stones, no matter how you think about it, it is a sign that it is about to rain. And Han Gang can see the dew, presumably Zheng Xia, who is guarding the city gate, should also be able to see it. Since he dared to say in the recital that he was willing to be punished outside the Xuande Gate without rain for ten days, he must have relied on it, mostly because he saw the same place as Han Gang.

The signs that have appeared, instead of showing the king, are used to make a game in front of the king, and Zhao Xu's feelings for Zheng Xia are suddenly very bad. But the thought that maybe it would rain soon, made him happier than any auspicious rui, and nodded continuously: "Han Qing is right, I should pay attention to it tomorrow." ”

The door of the hall suddenly opened, and the little yellow door that had just come out of the hall came in with a scroll, and Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Okay, let me see Han Qing's hard work." ”
