Chapter 13: The Dawn of the Dawn (25)
The Queen Mother's reaction made Zhang Dan's heart sink.
Lu Jia asked, but he was interrupted by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's inclination was so fierce that it was unexpected.
On the surface, he asked Lu Jia to ask not to interrupt and interfere with the normal flow of the meeting, but Lu Jia asked that he couldn't even finish speaking, and what would the courtiers think when they saw it.
was refuted by the queen mother in court, Lu Jiawen's face turned red and white, and he was speechless for a while.
At the beginning, he presided over the city of Yi Division, and became the target of the old party's attack on the new party, and Zeng Bu also took the opportunity to defect.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Jia is eloquent and bold; But under heavy pressure, there is a lack of agility to adapt to the situation.
At this time, you can't be stunned. ’
Zhang Duan sighed, if Lu Jiawen dared to come up with his own proposal, he would probably scold the Queen Mother directly - only Zai Fu was qualified to come up with his own proposal.
Stepping out of class, Zhang Dian said, "Your Majesty." For more than ten years, the country has been thriving, and the new law has also worked. There are indeed unsatisfactory aspects of the law, but it is effective, and it should continue to be implemented, and only slightly modified according to human feelings. Now that the North is eyeing the tiger, how can they turn a blind eye? And the usurpers of Yelu Yixin cannot make peace with China. When rejecting envoys, cutting off diplomacy, and cutting off New Year's coins, Hebei and Hedong should strengthen their armaments. He raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the north, the heart of the heart; Nanban, the plague of ringworm, the minister thinks that he heals the wounded and treats the disease, and he should take the disease of the heart as the priority. ”
The center of the contest between the two sides has deviated from the struggle for dominance in changing the law.
Zhang Dian did not cite Wang Anshi's merits, did not describe how effective the new law was, and did not propose to attack Han Gang, since Han Gang wanted to further change the law, then all he could do was to push the boat down the river.
Li Ding's heart was raised, and Zhang Dian was forced to do so, otherwise he should come forward and put forward the New Party's own proposals.
He knew that most of the words of Dao Zhangdun could not impress the Queen Mother, but he knew better that as long as she won the court, the Queen Mother could only agree with the decision of the palace, otherwise things would be repeated, and Han Gang's motion on the national political meeting would become a joke. At that time, Han Gang will be even more humiliated than simply losing the vote.
But now this victory has become very slim from the beginning.
Zhang Dan's words were vague, and the Queen Mother frowned when she heard it, "Zhang Qing can clearly say how easy it is to go to the country." ”
Zhang Dian said loudly: "Cut off the New Year's coin, build tracks, strengthen armaments, and defend the northern captives, and the rest will be the same." ”
"It's a royal coward, not a thief?"
The Queen Mother keenly grasped the key point in Zhang Dan's words, and while asking, she looked at Wang Anshi.
More than ten years ago, the old party was a stumbling block, and more than ten years later, Wang Anshi is a stumbling block. How should he react to being seen as a stumbling block?
But Wang Anshi didn't know when he lowered his head and looked at the wat board, but there was no reaction.
"Yes." Zhang Dan said calmly.
There was a low commotion in the hall, and no one could have thought that Zhang Dian had chosen to abandon Wang Anshi at this time.
Li Ding tightened his teeth, which was completely different from the proposal agreed upon in Wang Anshi's mansion before.
When the situation is unfavorable, in the presentation of the proposal, there can be some compromise, there can be some concession, but it should never be a surrender.
At that time, the agreed wording should be 'move at the same time', but Zhang Dan's 'to resist the northern captives' completely denied the possibility of entering the Liao State.
Li Ding's eyes glared at Zhang Dian, is this to set up another mountain?! Or do you see that the momentum is not good and are ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge?
Zhang Dian did not feel the need to respond to Li Ding's gaze.
Completely abandoned the strategy of attacking Liao advocated by Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, Wang Anshi said that it was impossible for Lu Huiqing, who advocated attacking Liao, to not be able to return to the court in the short term.
Speaking of which, it is still Zhangdun's selfishness. But the situation is good, because Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing have given Han Gang the opportunity to disrupt the country, and there are naturally dissenting voices within the New Party.
People are lazy and have become important ministers, and most of them still don't want to have another turmoil in the court, the combination of the queen mother and Han Gang is indeed terrifying. But a normal proposal will still have a certain effect.
Zhang's proposal was basically unchanged, but nominally strengthened the defense of Liao, and the biggest change was to build a track.
It doesn't look much different from Han Gang's proposal.
In addition to the content that did not open up Xinjiang, there was one less sentence than Han Gang to continue to change the law. Everything else is almost identical.
In such a situation, how to vote?
However, even Zhang Tun followed Han Gang's proposal, and not many people still think that the New Party will be able to win.
There are also people who hope that Wang Anshi will persevere to the end, hand in his own proposals, and prevent Zhang Dian from representing the entire New Party. But no matter who it was, Wang Anshi, Zeng Xiaokuan, and Lu Jiawen did not dare to come forward at this time to thin the votes of the New Party
"Okay, if no one else has another proposal," Xiang looked at the two mansions and hurriedly said, "Please ask the Secretary of State to choose the most suitable one from the proposals of Han Senzheng and Zhang Shumi." ”
Don't delay any longer, it's time to finish.
She wasn't the only one thinking so.
……………………
A small number of cages were hoisted directly into the cabin by the gantry crane, and the time that Wang Anshi's family spent in the capital was only a few hours away.
Wang Yi was talking to Wu on the boat, Wang was arranging for someone to sort out the luggage on a boat behind, and Wang Anshi and Han Gang were standing by the trestle, and it had been a long time since they had been able to talk so calmly.
The reflection in the water is muddy and blurred by the water of the Yellow River flowing in the canal.
Wang Anshi looked down at the water, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Yukun, how long have you been planning to plan?" ”
His question was clueless, but he knew what Han Gang was asking.
"Don't dare to deceive your father-in-law." Han Gang's reply was as respectful as ever, but the content was not humble at all, "How to govern the country and level the world, the little son-in-law has an article in his heart, and it will take a long time to write it." But the son-in-law never thought that he would be able to take over the government so soon. In fact, it was originally intended to be a ten-year period. After all...... I can afford to wait. ”
Wang Anshi was silent. The boat was shaking, and the reflection in the water was blurring and making it even more dazzling.
Indeed, there is only time, only in time, and no one in the court can compete with Han Gang.
When he entered Beijing more than ten years ago, he was already a 'fan of looking for Chen Ji', and Han Gang, even today, can be regarded as young.
"What about the Liao people, how did Yukun pacify him?"
This is the reason why Wang Anshi is puzzled. In the past three months, there have been constant waves in the court, but on the border of Hebei, it seems that it is not the people who have been killed, and the direction of Liao is incredibly calm.
"It's the Queen Mother's cousin." Han Gang made no secret of it.
Xiang's family is all the way to Hebei, and the relationship of interests is not shallow. Of course, Wang Anshi knew this, but what he wanted to ask was not what was on the surface, and Han Gang always avoided talking about it.
Now on the surface, the reason why the Liao people died down and acquiesced in the reduction of the New Year's currency was entirely because of the reopening of the border. But Wang Anshi always felt that there were deeper reasons that were unknown. But for three months, he never found it.
Three months is not a short time, the four seasons have gone from east to spring, and it is almost summer, and the north has also settled down during this time, especially the court.
On the same day, the meeting of the Communist Party of China, that is, the first political consultative meeting of the Emperor and Song Dynasty in Han Gang's mouth, won the victory of Han Gang with a difference of eight votes.
The New Party suffered a fiasco, and Wang Anshi finally found that he could no longer grasp the hearts and minds of the New Party.
It took three months for Wang Anshi to finally unload the important errand of the Pingzhang military state, and now he has only one dispatch to sentence Jiangning Mansion.
And in these three months, the turmoil in the court gradually calmed down. However, it is impossible for the water to calm down after the waves to return to the way it was before the waves rose.
Zhang Dian is still entrenched in the Privy Council, although there are a group of people who regard him as the culprit of the relationship with Han Gang, but there are also a group of members who still believe that Wang Anshi's misdemeanor and biased listening and belief are the main reasons for this heavy setback - the difference between the two is only whether they can stay in the court.
In the political hall, there is an additional prime minister. However, it was Su Song who took up the post of Ping Zhangshi of Zhongshu Sect and a scholar of Jixian Academy, not Han Gang, who was expected to return. Su Song was in his old age, but because of the success of people in the two mansions, in addition to a wry smile, he only shook his head. But the children of the Su family are excited about this, which makes people sigh.
Han Gang is still in the position of participating in the governor's affairs, and his official rank has not changed at all, and he is still the last member of the three people in Dongfu.
As for the original governor Zhang Qi and Zhang Diming, he took over Su Song's position in the Privy Council - the Privy Council. Although he can't directly become the prime minister, he can be regarded as a half-level advancement, and his own official is also advanced at the same time. And he also saw a glimmer of hope in Han Gang's attitude towards the position of prime minister.
In addition, among the two governments, there are no other changes, Zeng Xiaokuan is still signing the Privy Council, and Guo Kui is still signing the same book.
The Qixue Pulse controls the Political Affairs Hall, and the Xinxue Sect controls the Privy Council, and the two sides hold power and maintain the balance in the court.
Under the two governments, the three envoys Lu Jiawen stepped down and went out to know Yangzhou, and Shen Kuo of Kaifeng Mansion took over. After many years, Shen Kuo once again issued a judgment of the three divisions, but it was already a matter of right and wrong, and he was once high-spirited and wanted to achieve something in the two mansions, but now he only has to mix a cool umbrella so that he can take it back to deal with the idea of the Hedong lion at home.
And the new prefect of Kaifeng is Han Zhongyan of the Han family in Xiangzhou, the eldest son of Han Qi. Just looking at Han Qi's face, the position of Kaifeng Mansion cannot be considered high.
The culprit who caused this great turmoil in the court - sentenced the Daimyo Mansion Lu Huiqing to be transferred to Xuzhou two months ago, and the Hebei transfer envoy Li Chang took over the Daimyo's Mansion and Hebei's defense.
Li Ding, the middle of the imperial history, also left the Beijing division at the same time, but he was not replaced by Han Gang's people, nor the old party, but another cadre of the new party, who was the middle of the imperial history and Deng Runfu, who had served in Taiwan for a long time in the past.
The New Party has either gone out or been transferred, and for a while, there is no one in the New Party who can compete with Zhang. As for Zeng Xiaokuan, who was also in Xifu, he lacked the title of Jinshi, and his hope of going further was very slim.
On Han Gang's side, You Shixiong was appointed to the Third Class Academy, he was new to the court, and it was inconvenient for him to suddenly hold a high position, but with the addition of Li Chengzhi of the Western Court of the judge, the personnel power of the middle and low-level military attaches was firmly controlled in the hands of Han Gang.
The new party retreated, and Han Gang's henchmen took charge of the court against him, and as for the old party, the Han family in Xiangzhou shared a little benefit in it, but among the old party, it was Fu Bi who benefited the most.
Despite her young age, Emperor Xizong's only daughter, Princess Cao Guochang, has already been married, and when she grows up, she will become Fubi's eldest granddaughter-in-law.
Fu Bi himself has no way to profit from it, and he is in danger at the age of eighty. This marriage contract does conceal the meaning of joy, but the more important thing is to appease the hearts of the old party. Fu Bi has no virtuous talents in his family, and he can still be a princess, at least three generations of wealth can be guaranteed, this one thing at least shows that the court will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, and it also represents the court's tolerance for the old party.
The ship is about to leave, and the capital of the escort ship to the south is already greeting the passengers who have not yet boarded the ship.
"Alright." Wang Anshi was tired of seeing the muddy river, turned around and walked towards the boat, "It's time to go, it's time for the world to forget about me." ”
Han Gang accompanied Wang Anshi: "No matter what, father-in-law, the deeds you left behind will not be forgotten." ”
"What about merit?" Wang Anshi sighed, for more than ten years, one by one, all flowed through his mind, "But whether you can go further in the future depends on you Yukun." ”
"Father-in-law, even if it's just for myself, I will try my best to make Da Song better!"
Wang Anshi felt pierced his ears when he heard it, but just as he was about to speak, the people in the cabin sounded, and Wang Yi walked onto the deck. Wang Anshi glanced at Han Gang and said no more.
After Wang Yi got off the boat, he whispered: "Daddy, the child has brought a new idle book, which has been placed in the cabin, and Daddy can read more at his leisure." ”
"Books? Whose handwriting. ”
Wang Yi glanced back at her husband and said, "The novelist said, an anonymous thing." ”
