[In the Northern Dynasty, I found a few cartoons about this book, which is the paragraph of 'How can you help Yan Song with a holy hand', which is really great, and I would like to recommend it. Thank you zakat for your wonderful pen to make this paragraph even more brilliant.]

The blood on the ground has been frozen.

It is no longer bright red at the beginning, but black and purple, deeply impregnated into the cracks of the bricks on the ground.

Han Jiang glanced at it, then stepped over and stood back where he was supposed to stand.

The owner of the bloodstained stall will not be able to come back.

In the position of the prime minister's class, there are now only two left, Han Jiang and Wang Anshi. And in the places that belong to politics and privy council, there are also three people missing - Zeng Bu, Xue Xiang, and Guo Kui, who led troops to guard the Xuande Gate.

It's only been three hours.

At the top of the ranks, four of them had already left the temple—three would never return, and the other, when he re-entered the court, would be a step closer to his original position.

Looking at the vacancy at Han Jiang's first place, even though the color has dimmed, it is still shocking.

However, there are still many people who feel relieved, and they did not search the palace, nor did they drive the soldiers and horses, but chose to reopen the court meeting, which was a signal from the Queen Mother and Zaifu.

Although Li Xin and Wang Hou had already taken the holy decree and were sent to take over the city defenses and besiege the residences of several courtiers who had participated in the rebellion, the center of gravity of the imperial court was still on the interrupted ceremony.

The resumption of the court meeting did not rush to investigate the culpability, but also appeased the panicked guards and the courtiers associated with the rebellion.

After rescuing the Empress Dowager Xiang and the Son of Heaven, and reporting the current situation in the palace, Han Gang suggested reconvening the court meeting to reassure the people of the court and Beijing.

His proposal was immediately endorsed by the Empress Dowager and the Zaizhi.

However, Wang Anshi suggested going to the Vertical Arch Hall or the Wende Hall to the Imperial Dynasty, but in order to refuse to the Queen Mother, she wanted to return to the Daqing Palace.

Xiang Xiang's request to the Queen Mother was extremely resolute, and Wang Anshi could not find a reason not to refuse.

Stepping on the corpse of a traitor to ascend to the throne is more proof of the stability of the court than any grand ceremony, and it can also make the queen mother confirm that she is holding power tightly in her hands.

It seems to be different.

Wang Anshi thought.

After this change, the performance of the Queen Mother suddenly went up to a new level. Although it is very normal, it feels a little difficult to adapt to it for a while.

The sunlight shining into the gate of the Daqing Hall began to shift, but Wang Anshi still didn't feel hungry.

Rebellion.

Counterinsurgency.

Rescue the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

In the hearts of the courtiers, this period of time seems to have passed for a long, long time, but when the ministers reassembled in the Daqing Palace, it was actually just past noon, just before the time arrived.

is still a young son of heaven, and a woman who listens to politics behind the screen, but the characters are no longer in the morning, and they have changed back to the original two.

Jun Rongzhi played palace music in the hall, chimes, jade, crisp and melodious, the ministers in the praise of Wang Zhongzheng, to the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother to pay respects.

Song Yongchen and Shi Deyi, one committed suicide, and the other was chopped into meat sauce.

Liu Weijian died, because he resisted violently when he was rounded up by the rebels, he was stabbed in the head, and he died shortly after being rescued. probably heard that the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven were rescued, the rebellion was quelled, and there was no longer any concern in my heart.

The deputy in the palace knows that there are three fewer people in the palace, and there are fewer people who can trust the queen, so they can only bring in Wang Zhongzheng, who has just been rescued.

Sometimes, luck really matters. And for Wang Zhongzheng, it's not 'sometimes'.

Wang Zhongzheng was not humiliated in the chaos, and when he learned that Song Yongchen and Shi De and his gang had launched a rebellion with Cai Qu, he accepted his fate, that is, he did not fight, but he did not cooperate.

Such an attitude ensured his life from the hands of the rebels, and also made him the most relied on chamberlain by the Queen Mother, instead of being the first in the art of war in the palace as before, and the highest status, and still in charge of military power, but not as close as Song Yongchen.

For the servant who is a slave of the Son of Heaven, the closeness from the Son of Heaven or the Queen Mother is more important than the official position.

The palace is to be purged. There will also be a purge between the DPRK and China. Around the Queen Mother, there are also many vacancies to fill.

Wang Zhongzhenggui is an observer, and he has the military power of the imperial city, this time there is a mistake of negligence, but he also has the integrity of not being in the same stream with the thieves. may be demoted due to fault, but the trust from the Queen Mother is hard to change.

However, Wang Zhongzheng knew that it was not enough to rely on the trust of the Queen Mother, and among the courtiers, there must also be allies.

As for the candidates, there is no need to think much about them.

Years of friendship and understanding of each other's personalities make Wang Zhongzheng only choose the one who is not currently in the ruling class.

Han Gang is in the upper middle of the train.

Compared to more than a year when he was at the forefront in the past, he is now in a very low position. There are also scholars from the palaces in front, and they are far away from the Zaizhi class. Before, in order to get close to Cai Qu, he deliberately pretended to be angry, and walked many steps before approaching His Majesty.

But while he's still standing here, it's only been a day.

If he re-enters the court tomorrow, he will inevitably return to the position where he should stand.

This time, Han Gang will never be humble again.

Only by being in the ruling class can you better influence the court and get important information earlier.

If he hadn't withdrawn, he would have been able to know that Cai Dao Cai did plan to abolish the young lord and set up a new monarch, but he failed to persuade the queen mother.

But this time, Su Song and Zhang Dian, the two close friends of Han Gang, and the friends who also relied on them as their ears and eyes, failed to provide relevant information in time.

Su Song is very indifferent to power, and he has not been in office for a long time, so he is not well informed about the news in the court. This is also helpless.

But on Zhangdun's side, there was already a rift, so there was no notice.

No, it's far worse than a rift.

This is not a parting of the ways because of the uneven distribution of spoils. Divided by profit, will also be combined by profit.

But Han Gang knew the idea of Dao Zhangdun, this was a battle of ideas. It's not a matter of course, but it's just as difficult to compromise. Even more so than the academic disputes.

There is such a fight, and the friendship between the two does not know how long it can last.

And if you are humble, you will be too hypocritical, and there will be more and more people who will think of Wang Mang.

If you have made such a great contribution, you should accept the promotion and reward with confidence.

This time, there are not many people who can actually be promoted and rewarded, Han Gang is one of them, and the other one is that the reward will inevitably weigh more than a thousand gold, but whether he can be promoted depends on whether he can save his life.

When Han Gang got up, he seemed to glance at the palace gate inadvertently, and at this time, he could only hope that Zhang Shouyue would be able to be auspicious and survive the recuperation time after the operation.

Zhang Shouyue's surgery, with the current level of surgery, of course, cannot be treated with open thorax. After several imperial doctors discussed, they directly cut the flesh of the wound on the back, separated the arrow cluster from the shaft, and then carefully pulled out the entire long arrow.

It is hardly a surgery, it is a simple cleaning and bandaging of the wound. Fortunately, the wound from which the arrow was pulled out did not bleed profusely and did not injure vital organs in the body. But at Zhang Shouyue's age, no one can guarantee whether he can survive it.

At this time, Zhuban and Kuanyi Tianwu, who did not participate in the rebellion, had taken full control of the imperial city. Most of the people of the Imperial City Division were all transferred to the East Palace.

No matter how many of them are wronged, as long as there is a 1 percent chance of sinning, they cannot be lenient.

This is like the attitude of Zai Fu towards Zhao Xu.

Han Gang hoped that Zhao Xu could always be on the throne, but his hope was difficult to turn into reality.

For the Zaisuke, why would they take such a risk for the sake of the Emperor? Is that necessary?

It's just one percent likelihood, but it's not as good as not having it at all.

If it is for personal gain, it will of course be regarded as a traitor. But everyone in the world says that it can be abolished, and this is none of the business.

If the Huo family hadn't become arrogant after setting up another son of heaven, and even murdered the queen Xu Pingjun, Emperor Xuan of Han, who was bent on the old sword of the old time, probably would not have disregarded the merits of supporting the establishment.

Han Gang waited to see which of the Jaefu would come out and propose to the Empress.

In front of Zhao Xu, it was impossible for the ministers to discuss with the Queen Mother whether to abolish the Son of Heaven.

Even if most of them have that heart and plan to do so, they will find another time to discuss this issue with the Empress Dowager.

It's just that after Cai Qu's rebellion, if anyone opens his mouth to persuade the abolition of the establishment, it is equivalent to pushing all the capital in his hand onto the gambling table.

Once the Queen Mother refuses, she will inevitably be suspected of becoming Cai Qu's second, and it will be impossible for her to stay in the court.

And on the Empress Dowager's side, when any Zai Fu mentioned the abolition of the establishment, he would inevitably wonder if he was even more fully prepared than Cai Qu.

Both sides have their own concerns and clamp each other down. Han Gang felt that in the short term, it was impossible for anyone to give up timidity and choose to face it.

Do you want to propose the deposition of the emperor?

Zhang Dian was entangled in his heart, he didn't want to be the first bird, but after Cai Qu, no one could be found willing to take this risk. Except for choosing to take risks on his own, Zhang Duan had no other candidates at all, and even if he did, it was not suitable to take other paths.

If only Wang Anshi could take the lead in proposing, if Wang Anshi could turn against him, he would be able to resolve the Queen Mother's doubts and make her feel at ease.

But Wang Anshi would never do this.

His value for Zhao Xu did not change too much because he lost his position as a banquet official. This is empathy, Wang Anshi's concern for the first emperor has become a talisman on Zhao Xu's body.

If Zhao Xu was a mediocre monarch who had no intention of learning, Wang Anshi would have valued him a lot less, but now Zhao Xu, except for the accidental murder of his father, is the most outstanding young son of heaven in all other aspects.

Which teacher doesn't like such a student? Wang Anshi is no exception.

Abolish Zhao Xu, as long as Wang Anshi is still there, it is impossible to succeed.

But as long as Han Gang is here, even if Wang Anshi is not there, the plan to abolish the Son of Heaven will not succeed. In the case that Han Gang did not change his own mind, all plans to change the status quo were wishful thinking.

It's not the time to persuade the Queen Mother.
