"In that case, then you should go back first to calm people's hearts."

Empress Dowager Xiang agreed to Han Gang's proposal without much thought.

"Your Majesty." Han Jiang stepped forward, "The aftermath of the chaos has not stopped, and the two mansions should stay in the palace tonight, just in case." ”

The voice behind the screen froze: "It was those two traitors who guarded last night, who should be today?!" ”

The Zaifu of the east and west classes looked at each other.

The queen mother's heart knot is heavy enough, and the tone is not right.

But the Zaifu have to stay in the palace, and on the night of the change in the palace, no one can go back to the house as if nothing happened. In case something goes wrong, they can deal with it as soon as possible.

“…… In the opinion of the minister. Zhang Dian said, "It is better for the two mansions to stay in the palace." ”

"Then all the Qing families will stay, and the rest of the Qing families will go back."

Xiang Xiang said to the Queen Mother and got up, only to hear a ring behind the screen, the ministers hurriedly sent the Queen Mother to retreat, and when they raised their heads, the Queen Mother and her party had disappeared in the small door leading to the apse.

The ministers exchanged glances with each other, and the Queen Mother was so anxious that she didn't even leave a word.

You must know that although the remnants of the two mansions have stayed, there are still two people in the 'rest of the Qing family' who are not zaifu, but their status is equal and their merits are higher.

The Queen Mother did not mention leaving Han Gang, and Wang Anshi was not left behind.

Han Gang made such a special honor today, but he was forgotten by the Queen Mother.

Whether she really forgot or deliberately ignored it, judging from this incident, how much trust she has left in Han Gang?

Dozens of eyes spied on Wang Anshi and Han Gang, speculating whether the two of them would take the initiative to stay.

“…… Let's all go back. Wang Anshi paused and said, he faced Han Jiang: "Zihua, please leave you in the palace today." ”

Han Jiang nodded, "Jiefu don't worry." ”

Wang Anshi turned to the others and said: "Master Hanlin will stay in Zhiyu Hall as usual, and the rest will not stay in the palace." ”

The following important ministers, except for the Hanlin Bachelor, who are on duty in the Jade Hall, the rest of the people do not need to, and at the same time, they are not qualified to stay in the palace forbidden. However, although Han Gang stood among them, he obviously did not belong to their ranks, Wang Anshi took the initiative to leave the palace, and also took his son-in-law out of the palace.

Wang Anshi did this, and Han Gang's face was as usual. Silent. With the same column, they withdrew from the Chongzheng Hall together.

Lu Jiawen exchanged a few glances with his colleagues around him, and then looked at Han Gang's back in front of him.

In the dozen or so squinted eyes, they were all puzzled, but also a little gloating.

Wang Anshi and Han Gang can't enter the court at will now, and only when they return to the court and take up real positions can they have that qualification. So whether it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, as long as the Queen Mother does not mention them, they cannot take the initiative to enter the palace. As long as the actual dispatch of the two of them is not decided, they will not be allowed to enter the palace at will for one day, and they must wait for the summons of the Queen Mother.

But looking at the words and deeds of the Queen Mother, her thoughts can be understood

Today's palace changes are all caused by the Son of Heaven.

Without Han Gang's insistence on keeping the little emperor, Cai Qu, Shi Deyi, and Song Yongchen couldn't rebel, and they didn't dare to rebel - there was no reason at all.

It is impossible for the Queen Mother not to understand, first cause trouble, and then lift, in between, what credit does Han Gang have to praise?

Moreover, Han Gang's meritorious service on the bright side is too high, and the rest of Zaifu seems to have teamed up with Wang Anshi to suppress him...... On the contrary, it was Wang Anshi who took the initiative to join forces with the rest of Zaifu to suppress his son-in-law.

From this point of view, even if Han Gang can return to the two mansions after the most reluctance, it will be difficult to show his skills.

However, the time of schadenfreude was not long, and the thoughts in Lu Jiawen's heart shifted to the few vacant positions above.

I don't know when the Queen Mother will recruit Neihan, the small hall in the east of the palace, and worship the Zaizhi?

Lu Jiawen's heart was on fire.

Although the credit is not as good as that of Zaisuke, loyalty will not be lost to anyone.

As long as the Queen Mother can promote herself to the two mansions, he Lu Jia is willing to die with all his might.

……………………

"Why haven't the officials come out yet?"

Zhou Nan said anxiously under the lamp.

Yan Suxin fidgeted, so he stood at the door and looked out: "Yes." When is it, no matter how busy you are, you should send someone to send a letter back. ”

Yun Niang bit her lower lip tightly, the needlework on her hands had not been embroidered according to the appearance for a long time, and she didn't feel any pain when she was pierced with blood spots on her hands.

"Don't worry, wait."

Wang Yi said calmly, but her tightly furrowed eyebrows made people see the worry in her heart at a glance.

The inside and outside of the Han house are brightly lit.

In the back hall, Han Gang's wives and concubines all gathered together, waiting for the master of the family to come back.

Even if Li Xin and Wang Hou reported their safety successively, Huang Shang and other people also came to greet him

But Han Gang himself never sent any message back, which made them all feel at ease.

Wang Yi comforted several sisters: "Most of the officials will stay in the palace today. Most of them will send someone out to deliver the message a little later. ”

"But......" Zhou Nan stopped talking.

Wang Yi understood, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

But she was just as unreassured. As long as he hasn't seen Han Gang come back, he can't rest assured after all.

"Although the capital is good, it is better to live at ease outside."

Wang Yi smiled bitterly when she heard this, and Yan Suxin's complaint reached her heart.

sent Han Gang out in the morning, for Wang Yi, today is just an ordinary day. But when it was almost noon, she heard that there was a change in the palace, and then she got the exact news.

The two kings and thieves were not dead, and they actually contacted Cai Qu and the two eunuchs to launch a palace mutiny, imprisoned the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, and the big lama sat on the Daqing Palace, waiting for the ministers to pay their respects. forced her husband to kill people with a hammer in the palace, and he was the prime minister, so he reversed the situation.

Wang Yi was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Huang Shang and other people came to the door, called comfort, but in fact they were stained. Everyone knows that after this incident, nothing can stop Han Gang from returning to the two mansions.

But in Wang Yi's opinion, this official is doing a lot of fear, walking on the tip of the knife every day, and fighting with political enemies, and for the sake of Taoism, making enemies on all sides, what is the meaning of such an official?

In one day, he may enter the clouds or fall into the mire. Its gains and losses, advance and retreat, are all attributed to the mandate of heaven - the order of the Son of Heaven.

It is better to retreat to the local military state.

Once he withdraws from the court, according to the practice for many years, Zaifu who stays in the court will never be killed, and the Son of Heaven will deliberately protect it.

Heaven is good, but retribution is not happy. Who knows if in a few years, this loser who was driven out of the capital will make a comeback and make a comeback? The emperor also needed to keep a knife to deter the court.

Is it that the new party regarded the old party as a grudge from top to bottom, and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, and at the end of the day, it was not one by one to enjoy wealth and prosperity in the local area?

And to achieve Han Gang's status, leaving the capital to take up a local post, who would dare to work for him to do things? Even if you have a banquet and drink every day, the edict from the capital will not be a reprimand, but a question if you can drink enough wine and whether the money is enough to spend.

A few years of recuperation can make the family feel at ease and teach the children to become talents.

But it's not that easy.

Wang Yi sighed: "It also needs the willingness of officials." ”

Han Gang has his goals, and if he wants to fulfill his ambitions, he must stay in the capital. But in this way, there may be more days of fear in the future, such as today.

When she was distressed, she heard a noise of people outside, which she was used to hearing every day.

Wang Yi stood up in surprise: "Is the official back?" ”

It is indeed Han Gang who is back.

Han Gang didn't delay too long in the outer courtyard, and the people at the door were like yellow clothes, thinking that Han Gang would be on duty in the palace, so he had already left and left.

There was nothing to command, and he soon stepped into the inner court,

Wang Yi had already taken Zhou Nan, Su Xin and Yun Niang to wait in the door, and when he saw Han Gang, he went together

said repeatedly: "It's good for the officials to come back." ”

"What are you crying about, rebellious ministers and thieves, have you killed less for your husband? It's not that I haven't killed myself in the past, so why worry. ”

As soon as he thought of almost, Han Gang's mind relaxed, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

Han Gang: "I thought you were seeing a husband, and you would ask why you came back at this time." ”

"Why did the official come back today?"

Han Gang smiled slightly: "If there is nothing to do, of course I have to come back." Isn't it possible to stay in the palace without trouble? ”

Han Gang smiled and retracted. With Wang Yi's cleverness, he should understand that he didn't leave the problem in the palace tonight. But no matter how big the problem is, it is a hundred times stronger than this morning, when the Empress Dowager sat behind the screen.

In retrospect, today was indeed a risk. The stakes are no worse than when he had just recovered from his illness.

Thankfully, it's in the past.

But at this age, you have to fight for your life with others, and if you really want to talk about it, you must be doing something wrong.

The Queen Mother did not leave herself in the palace, if she thought about the benefits, it was the Queen Mother's confusion that she was negligent. But how can it be that simple?

After this change, there will always be some ideas.

It is himself who insists on keeping the little emperor, whether this matter is right or wrong, it is a fatal mistake to be politically volatile. Even if he is wrong, Han Gang now intends to persevere to the end, drag on for a few years, and wait for the turmoil to subside, it is not too late to say it, but now it is absolutely not.

……………………

"It's unexpected."

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Qi suddenly burst out.

"No one thought of it." Zhang Dan said.

"Me too." Zhang Qi said.

Han Jiang frowned: "I can't think of anything, I don't need to mention it, there are too many things I can't think of today, not much of this." ”

Zhang Dian said: "It is true that there is no need to mention it, it is impossible to hang it afterwards...... Merit is merit. ”

"Hmm. Not bad. Su Song nodded slightly.

Although there is no subject at all, it is clear to each of them who they are talking about.

"It's a good thing, no matter which way you put it......" Zhang Duan said to Su Song with a sideways face.

Su Song did not deny it.

In retrospect, it was the Queen Mother's belief in Han Gang alone that caused today's catastrophe and almost burned the Queen Mother and Han Gang themselves. Otherwise, the rebels and thieves will not have any chance.

But from this day onwards, it is impossible to go back to the past.

Han Gang himself was aware of this.

Therefore, his actions after the reopening of the court meeting today can be said to be painstakingly deliberate.

The courtiers other than Zaifu were brought into the Chongzheng Hall by Han Gang. But in the end, it was Han Gang who took these people out.

They didn't do anything at all except to sing the opposite. However, seeing that the Queen Mother was singing against them had already achieved her goal.

Tonight, the Queen Mother will definitely come to summon everyone.

An attendant hurriedly came, and several Zaifu looked over, it was a person who had just followed the Queen Mother's side.

It's finally here. Han Jiang, Zhang Dian, Zhang Qi, and Su Song all thought so.

"Where is the Duke of Donglai?" The chamberlain asked.
