Zhang Dian is a very domineering person, he took a fancy to Cai Jing, and he didn't give in, and Sima Guang here, he strongly recommended Lu Xu, and the two sides competed!

Depending on the situation, Zhang Dian has the support of Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and Su Zhe, while Sima Guang's side is Jia Zhang, Feng Jing and others, who are also equal and evenly matched.

In the end, it depends on the meaning of Prime Minister Su Song.

Su Song pondered for a long time, "Lord Lu has advantages, and Cai Jing also has strengths, let's not rush to make a decision first, weigh it for a few more days, and then discuss it later." ”

After Su Song finished speaking, he took the initiative to dismiss the meeting and went straight to his duty room, and the others had no choice but to disperse.

When Lu Huiqing left, he took the initiative to pat Zhang Dian.

"Brother Zihou, come and sit with me!"

Chapters took a breath.

It is very taboo for ministers to collude with each other, and the last time he looked for Lu Huiqing, he returned to the duty room and sat for a while before passing.

This time, he was invited directly, and he didn't hide it, and he didn't even do superficial work, when did this Lu Jifu become bold?

Zhang Dian was stunned for a moment, but he also figured it out, and then smiled: "Then disturb Brother Jifu." ”

These two people were in front of the others, swaggering, and went straight to Lu Huiqing's duty room, after sitting down, Lu Huiqing poured a cup of tea for Zhang Dian with his own hands, and the two sat opposite each other, and did not speak for a long time.

It was Zhang Dian who broke the silence, "Okay, don't be nervous, let's get together, the world is full of gossip, don't pretend to be deep!" ”

"Okay, Brother Zihou, let's make it clear, what is Sima Junshi going to do? Do you know? ”

Zhang Dian slapped the teacup and said angrily: "Brother Jifu, you let me tell me clearly, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Sima Guang is determined to walk with those people! ”

Lu Huiqing bowed, "This time they proposed what Jinshi background, it is clear that it is perverse, and they want to limit the appointment of senior officials to their own circle and block the way of others, and their hearts can be punished!" ”

"Hmph, the teacher promoted education for all, and his intention was to break the monopoly of the family on the imperial examination, and to give the opportunity to the children of the poor and to the ordinary people. As a disciple of the teacher's deliberate cultivation, Sima Guang actually betrayed the master, which is really hateful! ”

Zhang Dian suggested: "Brother Jifu, do you want us to go to the master's house immediately and talk to his old man!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Lu Huiqing asked rhetorically.

Zhang Dan was speechless for a moment.

Lu Huiqing sneered: "We are all too old, we can't be like children, if something happens, we will go to the adults and the master!" This time, we have to join hands and fight with Sima Guangdou! ”

Zhang Dian hesitated a little, "That, Brother Jifu, are you too anxious?" ”

"No hurry! Liaodong Province is the largest province in addition to the Western Regions, and it is the first province to replace Pingzhangshi, especially the position of the master, which is very important, only win, not defeat! ”

Zhang Dian finally nodded, "That's right, if Sima Junshi is allowed to take Liaodong Province, it will create the impression that he is the heir to the mantle of the master, and once he has this impression, those who waver will stand on his side." If you lose the first hand, it's hard to move back! ”

"That's right!"

Lu Huiqing has always been forbearing, introverted, and gentle.

But this time, he bared his fangs.

Four years ago, he was only barely competing for prime minister, and the difference in strength was huge, but after several years of accumulation, Lu Huiqing already had enough self-confidence.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation replaces the old.

Sima Guang, it's time for you to rest!

"In the current situation, on the side of Baiguan, it is very likely to be a tie, unless he can win Su Xiang's support, but in my judgment, he may not be willing to speak!"

"Well, Mr. Zirong will be in office next year, a hasty decision will leave a lot of trouble, he is not a stupid person!" Zhang Dian added: "There is also the council, we have a lot of people in the council, but Sima Guang also has his own people, and more importantly, he can bring the support of science!" ”

It's a terrible thing.

The New Politics Society has a great cause and profound influence.

But because of this, it seems a little clumsy, and there is a serious internal competition of interests...... In the past, when the inheritance tax was introduced, it was still possible to form a fist, but now, it may not be the case.

The political hall and the council are all unable to get an advantage.

Lu Huiqing is only the last minister, how can he compete with each other?

No matter who it is, it seems that there are definitely more losses and fewer wins, Lu Huiqing pondered for a long time, "Brother Zihou, we must play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses in this battle!" ”

"What are our strengths?"

"Right here!"

Lu Huiqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the six words on the wall - loyal to the monarch and loving the people - Wang Ningan's handwriting. Zhang Dian understood and smiled confidently.

……

"The master opened up a new bureau in Liaodong, and his contribution was great, and the disciples were impressed." Sima Guang came to Wang Ning'an's study again, and he was more humble than last time...... This time, Wang Ningan was just wearing a wide cloth robe and a square scarf, very much like Mr. Teaching. That's right, his task now is to teach children.

"Junshi, the affairs of the court, as a courtier, you just have to make up your mind, I have already said it, don't ask me."

Sima Guang bowed and said, "Master is indifferent, but as a disciple, I dare not hide from Master." ”

Wang Ningan pondered for a while, and said impatiently: "Okay, you can talk about it, but I can state in advance, I just listen, I don't have any opinions!" ”

Sima Guang didn't care, he immediately spoke, "Master, for a period of time, the parliamentary meeting has controlled public opinion very much, and every move of the secretary of state has been written and reported in a big way...... Looking at the current situation, in a few years, the parliamentary meeting will even override the political hall, with monstrous power and great pressure! Sima Guang said and sighed, "Cai Jingqi is a capable official, but this person has always acted recklessly, and the disciple is really worried that after he becomes a Pingzhang matter, he will add countless truths and become the focus of attacks...... Do you have to guard against it? ”

pushed Lu Zhi and turned against Cai Jing, Sima Guang also knew that there was no way for the master to be closer to whom, he had to persuade the teacher, at least let him remain neutral on the surface, otherwise he would not have the slightest chance of winning.

"That's what I plan, first transfer Cai Jing back to the capital, be the secretary of Dali Temple, or be promoted to a waiter...... After a few years of training and polishing in the capital, I will release the Pingzhang Affair after a few years. In this way, his resume is complete, and he is also familiar with the rules of the capital, so he can do things more steadily and steadily! As for Lu Xu, he is a subordinate of Song Xianggong, and he was a speech official in his early years, even if he faces the subordinates of science, he is not afraid at all. He has literary talent and means, and he can continue the teacher's decree and continue to implement it...... Let's put it this way, Lu Jing is a sapling that only lacks a piece of soil, and as for Cai Jing, he is a seed, and he should continue to absorb nutrients and polish more...... This is the intention of the disciples, and I ask the master to see it. ”

Sima Guang spoke energetically, but suddenly found that the master had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.

"Master, what did the disciple say wrong?"

"Ahh Wang Ningan seemed to come to his senses, and immediately smiled, "Junshi has always been old-fashioned...... These days, I want to teach His Highness to read, but he has a poor foundation, so it is not easy to teach him stroke by stroke, word by word! It's not bad, but after a few years, that rabbit cub got me a lot of grandchildren, and the thought of so many children to teach me gave me a headache, and it hurt so much! ”

Sima Guang said with a smile: "Master, many sons, many blessings and many riches, this is a good thing, the disciple wishes the master in advance, prosperity, peace and health." ”

……

"People's hearts are like water, ever-changing!"

As soon as Sima Guang left, Wen Yanbo swaggered out from the corner gate on the side.

Wang Ningan suddenly exploded, and scolded angrily: "Wen Kuanfu, you go to my house to listen to the root of the wall, you are too unauthentic!"

This time it was Wen Yanbo's turn to be angry.

"You are willing to come as an old man, if it weren't for the immoral child of your family, the old man would not have bothered to look at you in his life!"

Wang Ningan was speechless, and then he remembered that the two of them were already in-laws. It stands to reason that if Lao Wen's granddaughter marries his second son, Wen Yanbo should be a generation higher than him, but Wang Ningan has no intention of giving in, and he is not polite to Lao Wen at all.

"I've seen the play, please take care of yourself!"

"You!"

Wen Yanbo rolled his eyes.

"You kid, don't know the hearts of good people, that Sima Junshi is a nonsense at all, and he coaxes you as a three-year-old child!"

Wang Ningan smiled contemptuously, "And then? ”

"And then? What then? It was Lao Wen's turn to be confused, "Wang Ningan, I'm reminding you that you can't be soft anymore, otherwise you will be planted in their hands!" ”

"Them?" Wang Ningan was curious: "Who are you referring to?" ”

"Of course it's a thief and a thief!" Lao Wen sneered.

"Then, Brother Kuanfu...... Are you a thief or a thief? ”

"You! You! Wen Yanbo said madly: "You kid is unreasonable, the old man is waiting to see that you are unlucky!" ”

Wen Yanbo snorted and left, but Wang Ningan crossed his legs and hugged his shoulders, not in a hurry...... A few days passed quickly, and it was time to discuss the candidates.

Su Song opened the sect with a clear meaning, "Liaodong Province is very important, and it cannot be discussed without decision, and we must come up with the right person today!" ”

Sima Guang was full of confidence, and when he came back from Wang Ning'an, he secretly spread the news, saying that Wang Ning'an had agreed to the candidate, and Lu Zhi was sure of it.

Although it is just a rumor that has not been proven, it is enough to affect people's hearts, Sima Guang is originally stronger in strength, with the support of science outside, plus the centrists, it is impossible to lose!

Just as he was about to propose a vote, suddenly Lu Huiqing stood up.

"Princes, the so-called knowing people is good at their duties, one is to know people, and the other is to know their responsibilities!" Lu Huiqing held a document alof, "This is the New Politics Society's development plan for the future of Liaodong...... Liaodong is blessed, to become a heavy industry base, to build the largest granary, but also to develop gold mines, stable currency, the rest of the timber, medicinal materials, are the Central Plains urgently needed commodities, I have read this report, only to know that the next Ping Zhang, the responsibility is heavy, not everyone can be competent, what do you think? ”
