Coming back from the Empress Dowager Cao, Zhao Shu sat motionless, falling into deep thought, even if Wang Qing walked in front of him, it was as if he had not seen it, for so many days, it was unique.

Wang Qing sat next to Zhao Shu and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about the words of the queen mother?" ”

"Hmmm! I'm wondering what the queen mother means. ”

Wang Qing picked up a pear, peeled it, and stuffed it to Zhao Shu.

"Eat some fruit, maybe you can have an idea, and you can figure it out."

Zhao Shu took it and took a big bite, the sweet juice exploded in his mouth, and he really sobered up a lot.

"Actually, I know what the queen mother meant, she is nothing more than encouraging me to seize power, be a cadre and be an independent and unspeakable son of heaven." Zhao Shu scratched his head, very embarrassed: "But I think that the Son of Heaven should not be like this." It's just that I can't figure out how to be a son of heaven, father, master, and so many gentlemen, they have told me a lot, but I still can't figure it out...... Am I stupid, you say? ”

Wang Qing pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, you are not afraid of being stupid, what you are afraid of is that you are smart, you can't stop fighting for me in the court, if Your Majesty can't make up your mind, you might as well wait, leave enough time, you will always think clearly,"

Zhao Shu groaned for a moment, and suddenly laughed happily.

"Qing'er, you're so good!"

……

"The list of officials inspected, the saint did not send it to the middle, what does Uncle Hao think?" Sima Guang went straight into it with a single knife, but Lu Gongzhu on the opposite side was an old god.

"It is the duty of the officials to be in charge of the selection and inspection of the hundred officials, and if the saint thinks it is inappropriate, he can reject it, and if he thinks it is feasible, then announce it...... Now that he is staying in the middle of the house, the old man also does not understand the holy will, so he can only wait for the emperor's order. He looked at Sima Guang and smiled lightly, "If Brother Junshi knows the mind of the saint, he might as well reveal one or two, so as not to lose every inch and mess up the situation." ”

Sima Guang took a deep breath, "Uncle Hao, you mentioned the imperial situation, that's great." At present, the most important thing in the court situation is the two railways, which is the lifeblood of my Great Song Dynasty, and the importance is a hundred times that of the Grand Canal. ”

Lu Gongzhi's face was gloomy, and he snorted.

"The gentleman is honest, the old man is puzzled, what does this assessment official have to do with the construction of roads by the imperial court?"

"Doesn't it matter? You have evaluated many cadres for poor evaluation, etc., and you want to depose and transfer abroad, without these people, how can you build a railway? Or say it's not a constraint? ”

Lu Gongzhu smiled contemptuously, "Jun Shigong, the old man doesn't know what kind of officials you are talking about, in the eyes of the old man, there are only some cool officials, some greedy officials, if the court relaxes and connives, these brutes will ruin the country of the Great Song Dynasty!" Not long ago, Xuzhou pushed the official Yan a few times, and he got a life lawsuit, more than a dozen lives, more than 100 people were slandered, and they had to be sent overseas...... There are many cases of this kind, the imperial court is going to move to Haoqiang, but what about them? But he drove the people away, and the yang was in disobedience, how could he be worthy of the word "official" when he did things like this? Isn't that what you do? ”

"Yan Jidao's case is still under investigation, Lord Lu, you can't knock down a boatload of people with one stroke! The court is to do things, according to your evaluation method, the more you do, the more you make mistakes, and in the end, the court is a bunch of corpse vegetarians, can they afford to carry the country? ”

Sima Guang was heartbroken, but Lu Gongzhu was unmoved, as a heavenly official in charge of the ministry, there was no need to care about the second phase, especially the second phase who got up with the master!

"Sima Xianggong, how to evaluate hundreds of officials, it is not up to the old man to decide, the evaluation method is also a rule formed over the years, and all the processes are well documented in the Ministry of Officials...... If there is anything wrong with the absolute old man, just impeach, but if there is no evidence, you want to force the old man to change the rules of the court, that is, conniving and shielding, forming a party for personal gain! I don't think Sima Xianggong would do such a thing! ”

"You!"

Sima Guang's face was pale, and it was difficult to see the extreme.

"Lord Lu, the evaluation of the officials is a public weapon of the imperial court, and you use it for private purposes like this, so don't blame the official for being polite!" After speaking, Sima Guang flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Back in the signing room, Sima Guang was still angry.

Obviously, if those old guys came out, Lu Gongzhu would never dare to do this, in his eyes, Sima Guang is still a small character who relies on the teacher, and he is not a character.

If you dare to look down on me, then let you know that it is amazing!

Sima Guang immediately ordered to directly freeze the funds of the officials, so that they could not allocate money for the time being.

Subsequently, Sima Guang contacted the people of Yushitai to find the omissions of this investigation and give Lu Gong a ruthless ...... Including many of Wang Ning'an's disciples, the big guys were also furious.

What is the reason why we have done so many things for the court over the years, but it has become a sin? Could it be that in the last days, he didn't even talk about the slightest truth?

These people were full of anger and came forward to ask questions.

In the same way, those who were suppressed also stood up, accusing the six arts and one family, the party of fighting against differences, openly shielding friends, interfering with the investigation of officials, arrogant and domineering, and no one was courteous.

In an instant, the entire court was divided into two parts.

One faction is led by Sima Guang, Wang Shao and others, and the other faction is Lu Gong, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, plus Sun Gu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and some science and Taoist officials.

Lu Gongzhu and others resolutely demanded to pass the inspection list, but Sima Guang, in order to counteract, not to mention the funds, also mobilized personnel to check the accounts of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, especially the cost of Xingxue, and had a great posture of fighting to the death.

……

"Dad, the Queen Mother has spoken to Her Majesty three times."

Since the last time he was full of money, Wang Yan has been a lot more honest, and he no longer dares to advocate without authorization, and when he encounters something important, he must first ask his father to let Wang Anshi decide.

"What did the Queen Mother say?"

"What else can the Queen Mother say, it is nothing more than to encourage His Majesty to take power and balance the situation of the court, especially for the sake of the ancestors and the stability of the world, to suppress the faction of changing the law, and not to let them do anything wrong."

Wang Anshi nodded, "Yuan Ze, what do you think we should do?" ”

Wang Yan thought for a while, "Father, Lu Gongzhu and others have the support of the Queen Mother, and this time they are indeed famous, the child thinks that his father might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits!" ”

Wang Anshi shook his head, "Yuan Ze, why didn't you see the fishing benefits you said?" ”

"Dad, this is not obvious, if Wang Ning'an, Lu Gongzhu and others fight for one you and me, Daddy's opportunity will come!"

Wang Anshi suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Wang Yan's words.

"Yuan Ze, the last time I was a father, I said that you are the smartest and the most confused, and you just want to help your father become the prime minister...... But have you ever thought about it, with the intelligence of King Xiliang, with his strength, sitting in the position of prime minister, it is still so difficult, pushing your father up, do you want to watch your father be crushed, or will it be a catastrophe? ”

"Father!"

Wang Yan hurriedly shook his head, "The child never thinks like this, please ask my father to know it." ”

Wang Anshi said: "From Yan Jidao's case to the investigation of the officials, it is obvious that someone is grasping the rhythm and wants to let the King of Xiliang lose points first, and then raise the butcher's knife, at this time, the King of Xiliang can only suffer a loss, how vicious the intentions are!" ”

Wang Yan also reacted at this time, and he nodded again and again.

As soon as the father said this, the child also figured it out, this is a serial killing move...... Alas, the King of Xiliang has been crisscrossing for many years, and he has also made mistakes, if he doesn't go to Xuzhou, maybe there will be a turnaround, and now in the capital, Sima Junshi still can't make a final decision, and the weight is not enough! ”

"Yuan Ze, you're wrong again!"

Wang Anshi said: "King Xiliang went to Xuzhou, that's a good move!" If he stays in the capital, whether he blindly protects his own people, or lets Lu Gong deal with it, no matter how he chooses, it is inappropriate. Whether it is a mistake or a clever calculation, all in all, King Xiliang is not there, but there is more room for maneuver. ”

After listening to his father's high talk, Wang Yan became more and more emotional, his father has really not suffered in vain in the past few years, his vision has been completely opened, and his vision is more accurate and sharp.

"Dad, what do you think we're going to do?" Unconsciously, Wang Yan used an inquiring tone.

Wang Anshi thought for a while, "My father is also the examiner of Jiayou's second year, and many of these officials are also working under my father, and they are very attentive people...... Whether it is the conscience of heaven or the father, he must protect them! ”

"Dad, you want to go to school?"

Wang Anshi shook his head, "No, your sister has just become the queen, and she will go to school as a father, so it will be true...... So go with your father to a man. ”

"Who?"

"Wen Yanbo!"

……

"If you take the liberty to visit, please forgive me."

Wen Yanbo was very polite, "It's Jiefu who is here, please hurry." ”

After coming in, Lao Wen deliberately took out a bag of tea leaves and soaked them for Wang Anshi personally.

"This is the Shifeng Longjing sent from Hangzhou, I heard that it was picked down in the middle of the night when it just emerged...... The old man has no other hobbies, he likes to drink tea, he was going to take it to Xingqing Mansion, and secretly drank it in Xixia, Jiefu came, just taste tea with me, if you are alone, you really can't drink it! ”

Wang Anshi hurriedly thanked him, "Gong Wen is in love, no matter how good the tea I drink, it is no different from leaves, burning the piano and cooking cranes, and ruining things!" ”

"No, Jiefu is a real noble celebrity, no external objects, the old man admires it tightly!"

After a few words of greeting, Wang Anshi spoke, "Xianggong Wen, dare to ask for advice, what will be the result of the fight between Sima Junshi and Uncle Lu Hui this time?" ”

Wen Yanbo narrowed his eyes, paused, and asked rhetorically, "Jiefu, did King Xiliang ask you to come, or did someone else?" ”

"King Xiliang never gave me any letters, I am only here to ask for the guidance of Xianggong Wen, after all, there are many of my students."

Wen Yanbo smiled meaningfully, "Jiefu, let's say this, if Wang Ningan is looking for me, the old man will definitely not help, he will make me miserable...... But when you come, the old man can't help but tell the truth...... From the time Sima Guang started to fight back, he had already been defeated! And it's a complete failure. ”
