[Second Update.] 】

"So none of them came to the exam. Your Majesty, the minister's will is as prefaced, if Huang Sheng does not take the examination, then let him go to the border to make meritorious contributions. ”

Han Gang didn't mind, "It's not a jinshi, but you can give questions to the system, how does Pingzhang think about this matter?" ”

"The library job is not a post. If you can get a job in the library, there are exams, and you can stay in the museum if you can pass it. Although Zhao Yanruo is not a jinshi, he can be awarded the position of the museum, which shows his talent and learning. ”

"There is talent to learn, but I don't understand the truth that the subjects are different and the exam questions should not be the same."

"There is no precedent, so how should we talk about it?"

Han Gang and Wang Anshi, you and I will say a word, and they will not make the slightest concession. The purpose of the debate is not to refute the other side – which is very difficult – but to win the support of bystanders. Now the so-called bystanders are naturally the queen mother behind the screen.

"The wrong test questions are out of the court's intention to quote the sages, and Jian Zhou must be punished afterwards!" Han Gang's tone was tough.

Wang Anshi shook his head: "I have never heard that there was an old precedent of punishing the examiner for improper questioning in the pavilion examination. ”

Han Gang sneered.

Wang Anshi is indeed right, there is indeed no such old precedent. But how many times has it been since the founding of the country? Of course, there are not many cabinet exams. There can't be an examiner who has been disposed of for improper questioning, what's wrong? In other exams, it is not for nothing that officials have been punished for improper questions, and Han Gang can cite them casually.

Han Gang remembered that in the early years of Xining, Yan Fu, the superintendent of Guozi, once took Wang Mang's Later Zhou as the topic, discussing Wang Mang's Later Zhou's reform of the law, and changed the law with hidden insulation. Among them, Su Jia, a student, was listed as excellent because of his extreme argument about the difference between the two. Then all the prison officers were expelled. The person concerned, Yan Fu, does not know where he is now, but Su Jia, the candidate who was rated as excellent, is the son of Su Song, and His Majesty can invite Su Song to come and inquire. ”

Han Gang deliberately put aside the sentence in Wang Anshi's words and revealed the scene in the Guozi Prison more than ten years ago. At that time, Taixue was still entrenched by the old party, and Wang Anshi just took advantage of the Taixue public case to sweep away all the academic officials who supported the old party, and stuffed many supporters of the new party into occupy the vacancies they left.

Wang Anshi will speak so hard for Jian Zhoufu and the others today, he must have seen the possibility of history repeating itself again, and he is unwilling to let Han Gang and Qi succeed.

Wang Anshi's reaction just confirmed Han Gang's guess at that time. When Wang Anshi heard this, he immediately burst into flames: "This generation sings peace and slanders current politics!" ”

"Admittedly." Han Gang was calm, Wang Anshi's heart was in turmoil, he wanted to win, but he couldn't mess up, "At the beginning, the middle school official of Guozijian took this as the theme, and it was indeed intended to change the law. But today, Huang Shang used qi to solve the problem, but he was wrongly judged, what is the intention of Jian Zhoufu and others? ”

Han Gang's words and sentences are to lead the queen mother's mind to the direction of the party struggle, Wang Anshi's heart is like a flame burning, "The minister has repeatedly explained before that now the imperial court is based on the new meaning of the Three Classics, and this law was made by the first emperor, and now it has not been changed." Huang Shang's answer does not conform to the meaning of the new meaning of the Three Classics. ”

"In this case, when the imperial examination is held, will the three candidates who have passed also take the new meaning of the Three Classics as the guideline, no matter what questions the Queen Mother asked?"

"This matter has already been decided, so why say more."

"Right or wrong?"

"In addition to the one that was just righteous, what else is wrong?"

Han Gang and Wang Anshi went back and forth, both talking about the wheel. But after listening to such an argument, the Empress Dowager Xiang also understood that Huang Shang's defeat was a complete party struggle.

Therefore, Wang Anshi knew that Jian Zhoufu and others had made a big mistake, but he still had to shield the four of them.

Although Huang Sheng was tested for military strategy and far-sightedness, his talent was not bad, even if it was not a knowledge that the commander of the border county should know, he mastered it very well. Although it did not pass, it is already commendable. The imperial court does not want a person who can write edicts, there is no shortage of such people, under the pressure of the Khitans in the north, it needs a few marshals who can lead troops to fight and defend one side respectively.

As for Han Gang's question about saying that he can't do it, this should be modest. Empress Dowager Xiang trusts Han Gang's talent very much, otherwise she would not have been able to have so many inventions, let alone follow in Zhang Zai's footsteps.

"I also listened to the discussion of Pingzhang and political participation. I also understand the thoughts of the two of you. Huang Shang is off the list, so there is no need to discuss this matter. Just as Fang Cai said about participating in politics, for the prestige of the imperial court, the results of the cabinet examination cannot be changed. ”

"Queen Mother Shengming." Han Gang nodded, waiting for the Queen Mother's words.

However, Jian Zhoufu and the other four made mistakes in the exam questions, and this matter is also indisputable. It would be good for the generals who went into battle to understand the gist of the scriptures, and it was too much for them to memorize the notes and commentaries. ”

Wang Anshi's face became more and more difficult to look at.

In other words, ten years ago, when encountering such a controversy, Wang Anshi must have directly sued the illness and let the Son of Heaven decide who to keep. But now, if the temper is sick, the queen mother will be pushed down the river. From then on, Han Gang was able to overwhelm the entire political hall by himself.

With his background, in the absence of protection from Xinxue, it didn't take much time for Han Gang to completely subvert the entire Xinxue system. At least you can stuff a bunch of qi disciples into the Guozijian or other important positions, and start to stuff the content about qi science into the canon.

"Your Majesty, Jian Zhoufu and others are doing their duty, and they should not be punished!"

Wang Anshi intends to persevere to the end, and in his opinion, Han Gang is chattering about the right or wrong question in the Huangshang test paper. Xinxue and Qixue have different interpretations of the same sentence, and they can still be insisted on today, but in a few days, maybe the imperial court will change the standards in various exams. In order not to see this scene, Wang Anshi will never back down.

"How can they do their job? If you make a mistake in the question, you should be punished! Han Gang protested, "Only by confirming that it is a mistake can we avoid making it again in the future." Could it be that the next time someone signs up for the military strategy and far-reaching material to serve as a side, they still have to take the six theories? ”

"Why can't you take the test? As is customary. ”

"The military strategy is far-sighted, and the border department has never been opened, where is there a convention and precedent? Jian Zhoufu and the four of them are all pedantic, so they only know how to follow them, and they dare not set a standard for future generations. ”

"Although Jian Zhou Fu is old, he is still talented and agile, not pedantic."

"If this is not the case, it is an ulterior motive to ask such a question."

Han Gang detained this topic, if he was not stupid, he had ulterior motives. If Wang Anshi wants to argue for Jian Zhoufu, he must explain two things at the same time, but such an explanation was led by Han Gang to the four words of the party's unity and difference.

Who does the Queen Mother believe. Wang Anshi didn't dare to expect too much. But now is not the time to back down, "What do you mean by ulterior motives?" The imperial court opened the department in order to quote talented and knowledgeable people inside and outside the court. What can be called a sage, and being brushed off by only six exams is not considered a sage. ”

"Even Han Gang, those six test questions can't pass either. Even if it passes, it can't be called a sage. only knows the scriptures, even if he is a sage, he is definitely not a frontier minister who can guard the border land and county. ”

Seeing that Han Gang and Wang Anshi were going back to talk about you and me again, Xiang Xiang hurriedly mediated to the Queen Mother, "Pingzhang, participate in politics, or how to deal with the four of them." ”

"Well, the minister didn't dare to bother the Queen Mother. Jian Zhoufu and others can be punished slightly, but at least they must be fined. Han Gang simply took a step back, defining the nature first, and then expanding it below.

Wang Anshi still insisted: "How to punish copper?" ”

Different theories stirred up four words, and the Empress Dowager gradually understood what it meant as she immersed herself in court politics for a long time.

Party disputes are inevitable and even encouraged, but they must be tempered. If one side of the fight cannot gain a foothold in the court, it means that the control of the Son of Heaven is not enough.

Today, Han Gang is in the line of qi science, and there has always been an endless controversy with Wang Anshi's new science. Just from Jian Zhoufu's previous verdict on the Huangshang exam, it can be seen that Xinxue and Qi Xue are almost incompatible.

How to deal with Jian Zhoufu and others, Han Gang has backed down several times, and he has not forgotten to maintain a public heart because Huang Shang is recommended by him and has been a doorman, and insists that the results of the exam cannot be changed, which shows his public loyalty to the country.

On the other hand, Wang Anshi, this important military matter of Pingzhang did not give an inch, which is inevitably a little too much. If he could be like Han Gang and let him take a step forward, wouldn't this matter have been solved a long time ago?

"Pingzhang, participating in politics, I already have a fixed opinion on this matter, so I don't need to say more!" Xiang Empress Dowager was extremely resolute and glanced at Han Gang, "Let's talk about going back to Daizhou." ”

……………………

Jian Zhoufu and his three colleagues have returned to the Chongwen Academy.

Each of them was worried in their hearts, since Han Gang had already gone to see the Queen Mother, and Wang Anshi had also chased after him, all they could do was wait for the Queen Mother's fate.

Seeing that the atmosphere was like a guardian, Jian Zhoufu smiled and said: "Don't worry about anything, even if the Queen Mother favors Han Gang, Wang Jiefu will resist it." ”

Zhao Yanruo shook his head, can Wang Anshi alone really resist Han Gang and the Queen Mother? Will the judgment of Huang Shang be changed? No matter how relieved Jian Zhoufu is, it is empty, and the important thing is the judgment of the imperial court.

The Queen Mother didn't let them remind them to wait too long, and the results of the punishment came out quickly.

Jian Zhou Fuzhi Pavilion was fined 15 pounds of copper for improper questioning. The other three examiners were also fined copper, ranging from eight catties to ten catties.

Such a punishment may not seem heavy, but it makes it clear that they made a mistake in the question. And this kind of punishment will also bring unpredictable changes to everyone's future in the future.

However, Jian Zhoufu is not worried, he was punished for insisting on the new school, and Wang Anshi and Zhang Dian will definitely make amends.

Although Han Gang will inevitably boycott his own use, since Wang Anshi is fighting with Han Gang and Chongzheng Palace, the situation of this party struggle is becoming more and more obvious, and under the four words of the same party and different battles, there will definitely be benefits coming back.

But the second edict that followed made Jian Zhoufu fall into the abyss,

"The Editorial Bureau of "Zizhi Tongjian"?!"
