Chapter 13: The Dawn Is Falling (19)

The whole hall was shocked.

As soon as Han Gang's voice came out, Wang Anshi's face changed.

What does he want to do? Li Ding glared at Han Gang.

After the court meeting or sitting again, it is not uncommon for courtiers to stay right. There are many issues to be dealt with at the court meeting, and many things cannot be understood in depth, so the Son of Heaven often leaves one or two ministers and important ministers afterwards to inquire in detail. But the situation of asking for the right stay, after Wang Zeng designed to kill Ding Wei, is a very rare thing, and it happens occasionally, all of which are aimed at a certain important minister.

Everyone watched, Han Gang's face was not different, and he repeated, "Regarding the matter of discussing the country in two days, the ministers still have some details that need to be presented to the Queen Mother." ”

Details?!

Zeng Xiaokuan shook his head, what else could it be, he must have lobbied the Queen Mother first, trying to gain a greater upper hand before the court discussion began.

But in this matter, since the Queen Mother does not object, it is impossible for others to say anything.

Wang Anshi took a deep breath and silently exited the small hall of the inner east gate as usual, under his guidance, even Zhang Dan, Zeng Xiaokuan and Li Ding did not forcibly stay in the hall.

"It's fine." Li Ding took two steps faster and approached Zeng Xiaokuan's side, "Didn't you already plan it last night?" No matter how much he tossed, it was useless. ”

Zeng Xiaokuan raised his eyes and looked at Wang Anshi in front of him and nodded.

Among the two governments, those who will support Han Gang, when there are Han Jiang and Su Song, Zhang Qi will most likely stand on Han Gang's side. Guo Kui definitely can't speak. The only ones who will support Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing in the future are Zhang Dian and Zeng Xiaokuan. It is difficult to say whether Pingzhang's military affairs can be classified as Zaifu's class, but if Han Gang wants to keep Wang Anshi out, there will still be some verbal battles.

Since Han Gang has the advantage in Zaifu, it is impossible for Wang Anshi to sit idly by and watch Han Gang take advantage of him.

Han Gang's proposed country of consultation must be the same as the election of Zaifu, and the winner will be determined by the number of votes.

However, the Zaifu only have the power to recommend candidates, and the right to vote is in the hands of the courtiers attending the meeting. And the Consultative State will certainly not be able to do so. The Zai Fu recommended the same column, and the Son of Heaven couldn't bear it. However, it is unreasonable to say that the Zaisukes should not participate in the decisions of the country. Han Gang would not be foolish enough not to take advantage of his advantage in the two provinces.

Since Han Gang can propose to convene important ministers to discuss the state of the country, then Wang Anshi can also suggest how to discuss, although they are all voted for, but there are many changes in the way of voting.

Han Gang plans to curry favor with the courtiers below, and Wang Anshi can't be arrogant, since he has to pull the courtiers below to vote together to decide whether to change the country, then simply give them some benefits, no matter how high or low the position is, they have the same power as Zaifu - one person, one vote, the more wins. In this way, the New Party's numerical superiority could be fully brought into play, and Han Gang returned with a crushing defeat.

As long as Han Gang wants to borrow his advantage in the Zaifu class, he will inevitably be hated by the other courtiers. If he didn't borrow it, but had the same idea as the New Party, then what would Han Jiang, Zhang Qi and Su Song think?

Wang Anshi's recital has been handed over, and now it has been sent to the front of the emperor, just waiting for the queen mother to pick it up and open it.

No matter how he thought about it, Zeng Xiaokuan didn't think that Han Gang still had the possibility of winning.

Maybe the state will indeed change a little to meet the needs of the courtiers for the power of the state, but the most critical one, which is also closely related to Wang Anshi's face and the direction of the court, will never change anything.

After this defeat, Han Gang will inevitably lie dormant for a period of time. Next, it's time for the Goshidai to shine. There is no need to target Han Gang himself, his power in the court is not clean, and the same is true of the doormen he once recommended.

“…… However, it is still necessary to inquire about the details in time and make a response. ”

Zeng Xiaokuan suddenly woke up from his thoughts, but only heard Li Ding's last sentence. But what is being said, Zeng Xiaokuan can still hear it.

"Of course." Zeng Xiaokuan nodded. He glanced back at the palace behind him, and the conversation that was taking place at this moment must of course be found out as soon as possible.

……………………

Wang Anshi has led a group of Zaifu to retreat, except for the Hangang Independent Palace, there is no second foreign minister in the small hall of the inner east gate. Of the palace people who served the Queen Mother, only a dozen or so were still in the palace.

"Participate in politics," the Empress Dowager Xiang referred to Han Gang by title, except for him, only Wang Anshi was like this, "Please sit down before talking." ”

After Han Gang thanked him, he sat down generously.

"What are the details of what the political participants are talking about? How to draw up the state at the court meeting? ”

Empress Dowager Xiang was very surprised in her heart, and she was also a little curious, Han Gang specially asked to stay, what did she have to say.

"The matters concerning the size of the court discussion have been written down in today's chapter. The reason why the ministers are convened to discuss the country is because the country is discussed by the monarch and the ministers, not two or three people; The other is to enable the countries to be better examined, so as not to be difficult to meet the expectations of the public after implementation. ”

"Please be more detailed in politics." said to the Queen Mother, and sent someone to fetch Han Gang's notebook.

Han Gang began to explain to the Queen Mother his thoughts on the court discussion of the state this time, and the Queen Mother listened intently while looking at the note she had just received today.

"The country is a discussion, never more, not less, Zaifu and the courtiers discuss together." According to the text in Han Gang's excerpt, "Is the plan to participate in politics be treated equally? ”

"The two governments, the hundred divisions, although the functions are superior and inferior, they are all the courtiers of the Emperor and the Song Dynasty, and there is no need to talk about dignity and humility when discussing the country."

Of course, Han Gang wanted one person, one vote, originally he was selling the courtier's proposal by the way, of course, he had to do things more generously. It's better not to do it if you are petty.

"Politics is what it says." The Queen Mother nodded in appreciation.

These words did not come from the mouth of a lowly official, but they were said by the governor of the political affairs hall, which really made people feel a sense of misplace. But Empress Dowager Xiang was not surprised, in her opinion, Han Gang was not a minister who coveted power. is fighting to the death with Wang Anshi right now, all for their own academics, not for power and profit. It is indeed reassuring to have such a courtier with a weak desire for power, outstanding talents, and loyalty and trustworthiness, but because of the dispute between schools, it interferes with state affairs, and it also makes Empress Dowager Xiang feel helpless.

"And although I am in the two houses, I can see more and consider more comprehensively, but in terms of details, someone needs to pick up and fill in the gaps."

The Queen Mother continued to look at Han Gang's words, and the next content was exactly what Han Gang was talking about now, but it was also mentioned in the chapter that only Zai Fu was qualified to put forward a motion to change the country.

Therefore, the first few sentences of these words are what Han Gang wants to emphasize. The position of the Zaifu must be maintained, so the right to propose can only be in the hands of Zaifu. The motion to change the state can only be put forward by the people in the two governments, and he cannot say anything.

"This is the words of the old man who seeks the country."

The Queen Mother can more or less see Han Gang's thoughts, but there is no need to say more about which end of the proposal and decision has more authority. It's just a compromise between the two governments, and the two governments do see more and farther than ordinary courtiers, otherwise why are they zaifu, and others can only do what they are told?

And the final result is left to the Son of Heaven to decide. In other words, the Queen Mother, who is now in the curtain, has the power to veto everything.

Xiang Empress Dowager read Han Gang's recital from beginning to end. There are no complaints about the contents. It's basically like Zai Futing pushing, letting her choose among the candidates who are being promoted, and this time it doesn't cut the power in her hands.

"If the change of country is,"

"Just as Pingzhang presided over the change of the law that day, dissenting opinions were very loud for a while, but Wang Pingzhang went in and out of Beijing, but everyone was eager for it, and there was even a saying of 'An Shi is not out, Nai Cangsheng is he'. Now if the Queen Mother wants to change the country,

Although it has been discussed by important ministers, there will be repetition afterwards, and when it is implemented, there will be different opinions to discourage the country. ”

"That's true."

After going through so much, Xiang Empress Dowager at least understood some human nature, after successfully revising the country, the loser will never cooperate with the winner, but will oppose it more strongly.

"If you are talking about politics, how can this matter be avoided?" She asked. I hope Han Gang can have a reassuring answer.

"It's easy to avoid being difficult to say, but it's easy to make people unable to be frustrated. As long as it's steady. Han Gang said: "There is no need to rush when the new policy is implemented. In the past, the change of law was urgent, but the first emperor had not been on the throne for a long time, and it was urgent to achieve something to appease the court's dissent. ”

Han Gang paused slightly, he believed that the Queen Mother still remembered Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and other old and important ministers in the court back then, and this discussion would definitely convince the Queen Mother.

Hearing the Queen Mother whisper that it was, Han Gang immediately picked it up and said: "And Your Majesty has listened to the government for two years, and his achievements are obvious to all, there is no need to be in such a hurry, you can go slowly, and be safe." ”

This comparison made the Queen Mother very happy to listen to it: "It's good to participate in politics." It's really steady, don't be in such a hurry. But what else? ”

"In addition, the Maintainers are. If a country is established, it cannot be criticized, and its administration can be discussed, but the country must adhere to it to the end within three to five years, and it cannot be newly formulated today and changed tomorrow. ”

Han Gang's words were actually based on the premise that the Empress Dowager agreed to revise the country, and the Empress Dowager Xiang didn't feel anything wrong with this.

It's just that she was a little puzzled, Han Gang deliberately stayed, was it just to say this, not more important words? Wang Zeng chased the story of Ding, and she now knows a little about it. Han Gang committed the taboo of his colleagues, but it was really just a 'small matter'?

But it wasn't until after some conversation that Han Gang withdrew from the small hall of the inner east gate, and the Empress Dowager Xiang didn't hear the 'big thing' she wanted to hear from Han Gang's mouth.

Half a day later, the conversation between Han Gang and the Queen Mother in the palace reached Wang Anshi's side,

It's not because of how many slanders Han Gang has made in front of the Queen Mother, but because Lu has nothing. He handed this information to Lu Jia beside him.

Lu Jiawen looked at it a few times, his brows furrowed more and more, and he raised his head after the last moment.

"Pingzhang, it seems that the palace is already on the side of the son-in-law."
