Chapter 13: The Dawn of the Dawn (11)
"Something happened, Han San is going to recommend Zhang Qi to Xuanfu Hebei Hedong!"
"When did they collude again?! It's impossible. ”
"Rumors, aren't they already ......"
Li Gefei put down the scroll in his hand and coughed vigorously a few times, and the voice of the neighbor suddenly lowered.
The time in Wutaizhong has been nearly three years in bits and pieces, and Li Gefei can already claim to be an old man in Wutaizhong. You can rely on your qualifications and status to suppress the newcomers who come in.
In the case of the palace change, although Cai Jing, who was considered close, became a rebel minister, and Su Shi, who had consulted literature, was also regarded as a traitor, but the background of the Xiangzhou Han family behind Li Gefei made him not like Qiang Yuanming and Zhao Tingzhi, who were regarded as rebels and were purged. At the same time, the purge of Wutaizhong also made him have many fewer competitors.
It didn't take long for Li Gefei to go from supervising the imperial history to becoming an official supervising imperial history, and then promoted from supervising the imperial history to serving the imperial history in the palace. Although he has added a line of service because of his shallow qualifications, compared to the official palace servant, the authority in Li Gefei's hands is not bad at all.
However, in recent years, the Imperial History Observatory has experienced several disasters, and the atmosphere of daring to speak out in the old years has been swept away, and the Imperial History of Taichung has become more and more compliant, all of which are hanging puppets in the hands of others.
Nearly a year ago, the court was as calm as water, and the Zaifu had the ambition to maintain the stability of the court together, and the bullets of the imperial historians were basically aimed at officials with low official quality, and after the fact, the selection accounted for more than half. The attacks on the important ministers are not nothing, but they are all trivial things, either they are untidy in appearance, or they are not in good manners, and they basically can't even move the hair of the golden and purple ministers.
Such a state also makes Yushitai a hibernating bear, harmless to humans and animals in the nest. It wasn't until the recent resurgence of the court that the Yushitai finally had a little vitality.
The smoke in the north will not rise, the government and the opposition in the capital are noisy, and Wutai is not a quiet place, so it cannot stay out of the matter.
The next few officials are part of the New Party, and unlike the outside world arguing about whether the Liao army should go south, the topics discussed by the imperial historians are more closely related to the court. But the ears and eyes of these newcomers are still not as well-informed as the old ones.
Li Gefei coughed a few times, and the quarrel accounted for six or seven points, and the remaining three or four points, but he didn't want these juniors to be embarrassed.
In the imperial history, daring to speak is only one of the conditions, and whether the ears and eyes are well informed is also a key condition. Where does the wind come from, is the point.
Compared with those colleagues who only knew that Han Gang and Zhang Dian had begun to collude, Li Gefei got a little more updated news - and the other slightly more senior imperial histories also got the latest news through their own channels almost at the same time.
"What, chapter seven...... Zhang Shumi's went to Pingzhang's mansion?! ”
As a loud and heavy footstep entered the next room, a scream ensued.
It was three hours late.
Li Gefei counted the time and shook his head.
The shallow foundation of several newcomers is evident in this matter.
Li Ding had a relationship with Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing, and Wang Anshi invited Li Ding at the same time as inviting Zhang Den. I don't even know where the head of one is going, and the news is a little too closed.
With the line of Pingzhangfu, Zhang's movements suddenly became confusing,
Han Gang and Zhang Dian have always been good friends, and it is said that Han Gang is also the savior of Zhang Den's father. The two seem to have had a bad relationship after the palace change. Recently, the two have approached again, just for the position of Lu Huiqing and the coach of Liao, as well as the status of prime minister brought by the position of commander.
Han Gang plotted against Lu Huiqing, and he had to rely on Zhang Dian.
Before Zhang Dian turned his back on Wang Anshi, Han Gang could only oppose the war and could not compete with Lu Huiqing for the position of Liao commander.
Anyone knows the Dao, and the Qi is all tied to Han Gang alone.
Su Song can only be regarded as a periphery, and it is impossible to devote himself wholeheartedly to Qi Studies. And when Han Gang went out, Su Song was also alone in the Privy Council.
It was no longer the time of the Song-Liao War two years ago, and at that time, the court was united in thinking only about driving the Liao people out of Lu. And this time, once Han Gang goes out, the new party in the DPRK and China will not be sure how to pull him back.
Since ancient times, there has never been an example of a political enemy in the center, and a general can still make contributions to the outside world. If Han Gang invited himself to go out to resist, he would only end up in ruin, the same result as when Fan Zhong went to Shaanxi.
So at the beginning, Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing wanted to go on a northern expedition, and Han Gang joined Han Jiang and Zhang Qi to oppose it, and never considered Hebei to show his talent - if he recommended himself at that time and wanted to replace Lu Huiqing himself, the government and the opposition, both inside and outside the government, whether they were enemies or friends, would trust him more, rather than Lu Huiqing, who had been in Hebei for a while.
It wasn't until he succeeded in winning over Zhang Dian that there were rumors that he would recommend Zhang Dian as the two-way Xuanfu, leading the soldiers and horses in Hedong, Hebei, and resisting the invasion of Liaokou.
It did not take long to go from opposing the war against Liao to vigorously supporting the establishment of the Xuanfu Division. It's just that the imperial historians can't say that Han Gang is back and forth, first, Han Gang has not yet been listed, and second, he recommended Zhang Dian as the Xuanfu envoy to defend against the Liao army's entry into the Liao realm, not Lu Huiqing's dispatch to the Liao realm - although after becoming the Xuanfu envoy, he got permission to act cheaply, and it was never a problem to cross the border and go north.
It's just that Wang Anshi's counterattack made Han Gang's plan fall short. Without Zhangdun, he could only continue to prevent the imperial court from sending troops. But once the Liao people go south, Lu Huiqing will resist them, and there will be a great chance to get the position under the Zhongshu Gate.
The old and new party struggles, which lasted for more than ten years and ended until the Empress Dowager lowered the curtain, as well as the political disputes between the two parties during the Qing Dynasty, Li Gefei knew very well, and now the situation between the DPRK and China is developing in the direction of incompatibility.
The nature of the Yushitai determines that in the following days, it will inevitably be on the cusp of the wind and waves.
Li Gefei twisted the beard on his chin, his mind hesitating. Some people regard the chaos as a step forward, but he still prefers a more stable life.
Should this muddy water continue to wade in?
…………………………
"Zhang Zihou changed his surname to Shen this time?"
Su Song's decades of qi cultivation kung fu can't hide the irony in his words.
Han Gang's mind is mostly on qi, and he won't argue too much about authority - Han Jiang and Zhang Qi will support Han Gang, and it is precisely because of this. If Han Gang wants to fight for everything, how can there be a harmonious atmosphere in the political hall - but for academics, Han Gang will never give up half a step.
Zhang Dian has no intention of academics, if he represents the New Party in the position of prime minister, the imperial court can still be a little more stable. But if a person like Lu Huiqing returns to the court, and the new school of qi has another dispute, it will be restless.
Originally, I heard that Han Gang had persuaded Zhang Dan, and Su Song thought that the overall situation had been decided, but he didn't expect that there would be another twist and turn.
Han Gang's mood was also a little gloomy, but when he heard Su Song's words, he couldn't help but smile, Shen Kuo's reputation was really bad.
"I don't know what the situation is in Lu Dao, let's talk about it when he sees Jiayue come back."
Su Song couldn't see any sign of anger on Han Gang's face: "Yukun, you believe in Zhang Zihou so much? ”
"I can't tell, I can only take a look first."
is already the respect of Zaifu, and the word trust is too extravagant. That is, Zhang Dan's arrogant personality makes him disdain to do some sneaky things. When it comes to trust, Han Gang trusts Zhang Dan's character, not his personality.
Accepting Wang Anshi's invitation and going to Wang Anshi's mansion to pay a visit to him openly, this is not against Zhang Dan's temper at all. After that, what Zhang Dian will decide, Han Gang can only wait and see.
Su Song asked: "What if Zhang Zihou really turns back?" ”
"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to remarry. What else can I do? I can only go with him. ”
Without Zhang Dian as an ally, Han Gang's previous plan could naturally only be invalidated, but he couldn't cry and shout to beg him, right?
Han Gang can fully trust Su Song, but Su Song's foundation in the court is not strong, and he can't resist the New Party at all, and the Queen Mother's trust in him is far from enough. Under such circumstances, Han Gang could not leave Beijing with confidence.
Su Song also knew his own problem, whether he could enter the Privy Council or the result of Han Gang's promotion, and sighed: "Is there really no way?" What about Guo Zhongtong? Would he like to go to Hebei? ”
Of course he wants to go to Hebei to meet the Liao people, and when he reaches his grandchildren, maybe there will be a Queen Guo. But where does he dare to get involved now? ”
Su Song asked, Han Gang thought about it, but unfortunately it didn't work.
He was not afraid of heaven and earth, but Han Gang didn't dare to let him go to Hebei. He has no prestige in the Hebei army, and he has not laid the foundation from his father's generation, and with his character, it is difficult to master the unfamiliar Hebei forbidden army, and he will make trouble for him.
"Yukun, are you sure...... Lu Huiqing wrote a letter to Yukun before, right? ”
Su Song looked at Han Gang, there have been many similar examples in the past, Han Gang will always leave a back hand when doing things. Now that he looked at Han Gang's tone, he seemed to be just as prepared.
"If this time it wasn't the leather room army that was killed, but just an ordinary patrolman, Lu Jifu would definitely bow his head. The background of the Kepi Room Army is too deep, and it is not an ordinary Liao army. ”
If they were sent into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and annihilated, their backstage would have nothing to say, how could they fight without dying? Before the Song and Liao wars, the number of leather room troops that were eliminated was also quite large. But this time he was killed in the territory of Liao, the nature was completely different, and in terms of time, it also made the puppet emperor who had just ascended the throne unable to step down.
I have to say that Liu Shaoneng's ability is really great, and Lu Huiqing's luck is good, how can he bump into a team of leather room troops on the border.
"Just three people, just provoke a rebellion between the two countries......" Su Song shook his head and sighed.
"It's just a hit and it struck."
Broken plates can't be glued together. After the breakdown of the Alliance, the New Covenant was nothing more than customary conclusion. People of insight know that the peaceful times of the past 70 years or so are gone forever.
The war will be in the near future, if not now.
