The meeting had just begun, and the two sides were at loggerheads.

Han Gang and Wang Anshi turned the palace of serious decisions on national politics into a quarrelsome market.

"What's the point of making a fuss?" Han Gang's voice was so loud that he was arguing, "If there is a handsome man in Hebei, he can keep Hebei safe all the way, but when he enters the Yan Ji, the victory rate is slim, and the defeat is out of control." At this time, if you want to use troops in the north, you are desperate to take the national fortune. ”

"Your Majesty." Lu Jia asked and turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Han Shumi sacrificed artillery, and he called himself a divine weapon, far better than a bed crossbow." Now that the divine soldiers have cast tens of millions, they dare not go beyond the thunder pool by half a step, even if this is the case, why waste money and food to cast cannons? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister used to say that artillery can be relied on by the army. And Master Lu's reliance today is not artillery, but mouth artillery. Liao has a territory of thousands of miles, with a million, how easy is it to with? If thieves invade Xinjiang and there is chaos in the country, you have to be anxious. If you want to raise troops to fight against enemy countries abroad, you have to be stable. Han Gang turned to look at Wang Anshi, "In the past, the first emperor asked Wang Pingzhang for advice, just because the treasury was empty, and the ministers opposed a hasty war, and there was also a shortage of money and food in the country. ”

Wang Anshi said in a deep voice: "The northwest strikes the army, and the military expenditure is moved to Hebei, which is enough to supply the war." ”

"As soon as the war began, it was difficult to save gold and mercury. If it can't be decided in a war, like Shaanxi that has been entangled for decades, can Pingzhang still say 'enough to supply the war'? Han Gang asked Wang Anshi rhetorically, and said, "Recovering the homeland of the Han family is what the people of the world want, needless to say." But what the people of the world are looking forward to is recovery, not the crushing defeat that comes with it. The day before yesterday, Pingzhang and Lu Xuanhui talked freely about the Northern Expedition, and dared to ask if it could be decided by a war, and from then on, the northern captives would no longer be in Koubian? ”

"There is a difference between severity and severity, and there is a difference between large and small thieves. Raising troops to attack Liao, even if it can't get a hundred years of peace in a battle, it can also allow Hebei to get a barrier comparable to Yanmen in the east of the river. ”

Lu Jia asked Wang Anshi on behalf of the generation to avoid the important and light, Han Gang sneered, "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the chance of victory and defeat is often a line." With the hundred years of the northern captivity, even if Sun Wuzi is resurrected, he does not dare to say that he will win. Master Lu didn't dare to claim victory, but he knew it. But you can't win, rush north, just for a breath of leisure? ”

He said, and said to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, in the past, Gou Jian attacked Wu, ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons, and twenty years of destroying Wu." Now the first emperor has been gathering lessons for more than ten years, and only half of his work has been obtained. In the opinion of the ministers, it is still necessary to build up the national strength, and then it will take ten years, and after ten years, it will not be difficult to destroy Liao. ”

Han Gang, Wang Anshi, Lu Jiawen and others, you say a word, I say a word, and they are not willing to give in.

Li Gefei at the foot of the wall sighed when he heard it.

This is the beginning! ’

Everything is still because of the words of the Queen Mother after she appeared, Li Gefei looked in the direction of the throne, and he couldn't even see the curtain covering the Queen Mother, but what kind of mood the Queen Mother would be after the curtain could be guessed a little.

The first sentence of the opening speech was refuted by the minister, and even if the queen mother's temper is good, she will inevitably be angry. Spit on her face, Lou Shide has that good temper, but how can the Queen Mother be a woman?

Whether it is Wang Anshi or Han Gang, just looking at Fang Cai's performance, they are not giving up half a step, and the two of them are like mortal enemies. No matter which side you stand on, you will offend the other side to death.

On one side is the patriarch who has the power to spread over most of the court, and on the other side is the upstart who has the full support of the queen mother and is famous in the world.

Even if any of them can't help the head of the other party under the current circumstances, it is easy to take the people below.

To be able to have a ballot in today's temple is not far from the distance between the two provinces. Within ten steps, who can ignore the temptation of a cool umbrella? And now if you want to enter the two mansions, you must get enough support in the court, and there is no good popularity, on the other hand, they also need the permission of the Queen Mother.

If you could still fantasize about not being retaliated against before, now looking at the tension between the two sides, you can see that this is a complete fantasy.

Fortunately, he is still far behind, Li Gefei is secretly happy. Being in a high position is certainly a good thing, but there is also a risk that it will be too cold in a high place.

He was tasked with monitoring the actions of the courtiers in the palace, but Li Gefei didn't want to jump out to interrupt the quarrel between the two sides now, so it was safer to watch quietly.

Li Gefei didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and he was not the only one in the palace, didn't he stand up to maintain order in the court? ! There was also Han Gang's henchman Fang Xing nearby, who was also standing safely and steadily.

Thinking like this, Li Gefei looked at Fang Xing a few more times, and then became surprised.

Today's meeting was tense and intense at the beginning, Han Gang was still besieged by the New Party after receiving the support of the Empress Dowager, and although Fang Xing was concerned about the quarrel at the top like the other courtiers, the degree of tension was not deep, but there was a sense of limitation.

Is it because this is an internal dispute between Weng and his son-in-law, and outsiders simply watch the excitement?

Although Han Gang broke with the new party, the Qi Party and the New Party have no relative significance, and in short, they are not so appropriate. is a little meaner, that is, to call Wang Dang and Han Dang, with the surname of the crown, compared to the Niu and Li two parties in the Tang Dynasty; Even more mean are the Weng Party and the Son-in-law Party. But no matter how you call it, it is talking about the fact that Han Gang has his own faction and fights with Wang Anshi.

But his own family can have this attitude, how can Fang Xing be like this, or is he already confident?

Li Gefei couldn't figure it out.

At this time, there were not many people who were willing to wade into troubled waters, and many courtiers did not want to be forced to choose a side at this time.

The two sides did not stop arguing, and the meeting originally held to directly resolve the dispute, because of one person's unconvincing, once again fell into chaos, and the Queen Mother was impatient, "Enough!" ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard an even louder shout from below, "Enough! What are you arguing about? Or does some people think that today's meeting is out of place? ”

The courtiers were surprised to find that Prime Minister Han Jiang, who had always had a relatively thin sense of existence, stood up,

Han Jiang ignored Wang Anshi, Han Gang and others outside the train, and glared angrily at the imperial historians in the palace: "Where is the imperial history in the palace?!" Someone is blaspheming the court, why do you sit idly by?! ”

Li Ding changed color suddenly.

Han Jiang came forward to maintain the Chaogang, who is this ingratiating? Naturally, it is the Queen Mother.

And whose side is the Queen Mother on? Then it goes without saying.

Han Jiang's support for Han Gang is the first time that he has been so clear-cut. Everyone knows that in the matter of the Liao invasion that is being debated now, Han Jiang, who was born in Lingshou, Hebei, absolutely supports Han Gang. But the country is different, in the past, he supported Han Gang, but he only opposed a war, but now he is on the side of Han Gang, but he is against the entire new party.

Therefore, during this period of time, both the DPRK and China speculated that even if Han Jiang was biased, he would not publicly indicate who he supported. Three times as a phase, there is no need for Han Jiang to wade into troubled waters, and the status of the Lingshou Han family cannot be shaken by anyone on stage. Just like the elders in Luoyang, even if they are defeated from the court, every birthday, the court still has to send envoys to say hello, and the rewards will not be short during the New Year's holidays.

But Han Jiang still made his position clear, which of course surprised many courtiers. Even Wang Anshi couldn't help but waver in his heart, and looked back at his old friend deeply.

Lu Dian, who was lined up at the back of the train, also moved his body uneasily, and suddenly became uncomfortable. He didn't expect Han Jiang to support Han Gang, which may be the reason why Han Gang is so confident, there is a queen mother and a prime minister, and they can indeed fight against each other.

Fang Xing was only a few places behind him, and he saw everything in his eyes and sneered.

Don't forget where Han Sang-gong is from?! Hebei Lingshou!

If you can defeat the Liao people in one battle, then of course it is the best, Hebei will be too peaceful, but can Lu Huiqing do it?

Han Jiang knows everything, how can Lu Huiqing's tricks in order to return to the DPRK be hidden from Han Jiang's eyes?

Han Jiang glanced at his old friend, there was no friendship in his eyes, only determination.

Since he was not ready to fight the tiger, but he wanted to brush the tiger's whiskers, after the fact, he returned to Beijing leisurely as a minister, but left a mess in Hebei. Lu Huiqing is a Fujian son, and he is not worried about the iron hooves of the Liao people, but Han Jiang can't help but worry about the township.

After Han Gang stood up, he was completely on Han Gang's side. Regardless of whether Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing really wanted to fight with the Liao, or just wanted to take the opportunity to return to Beijing with some credit, Han Jiang could not tolerate someone taking the safety of Hebei as his stepping stone.

With the support of the Queen Mother and the support of the only prime minister in the DPRK, Han Gang is no longer at a disadvantage, and the outcome of this time has become confusing.

Han Jiang was furious, and after a short period of shock and silence, Wang Anshi, Han Gang, Zeng Xiaokuan, and Lu Jia asked Qi Qi to plead guilty, and said to the Queen Mother, "Needless to say, what do the ministers and privy ministers have to propose to the current country?" Han participated in politics, you raised this matter first, and you talked about it first. ”

Han Jiang became an enemy, and Lu Jia was angry in his heart, but when the Queen Mother said this, he almost laughed.

The Queen Mother may want to help Han Gang and let him take the lead, but unfortunately, she is doing her a disservice.

It's not a good thing to speak first, it is equivalent to exposing the truth first, and the people behind can make adjustments according to his proposal, and the winning rate that was originally open because of Han Jiang has at least one percent reversed.

Han Gang couldn't say it this time.

Han Gang also paused for a moment before stepping out of class, and said loudly: "The first emperor is here, but the rich country is strong." The new law has been implemented for more than ten years, and the country is only well-off, especially not rich. In the present Emperor Song Dynasty, there are hundreds of millions of people, and a person only eats two stones a year, and he also needs 20,000 stones. How much money is accumulated in the country today? The minister heard that 'the country has no savings for nine years, and it is said that it is insufficient; Without six years of savings, it is said to be urgent; Without three years of savings, the country is not its country', today's Emperor Song, can there be nine years of accumulation? ”

He glanced at Wang Anshi, and then continued, "Not to mention nine years of savings, can you have three years of savings?" The Great Song Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and there is no year without disasters. Ten out of ten land, there are disasters, more than five or six out of ten, Xining is also; As little as 12 out of 10, today it is also. If there are no tens of millions of grains, how can we keep China free of chaos and displaced people? If you want to go north to attack Liao and recover your homeland, the preparations you have made now are far from enough. ”

"So what the imperial court has to do today is to continue to change the law, instead of clinging to the defects and not seeking progress!"
