Chapter 13: The Dawn of the Dawn (24)
Han Jiang came forward to support Han Gang, which made the original victory of the New Party less certain.
However, after a brief shock, Li Ding regained his composure.
Maybe Han Jiang can make some capricious people change their ways, but a large part of Han Gang's past supporters will definitely not vote for him again - it is from those lost dogs.
After Han Gang pushed the old party members who supported him, they sent out one after another, and it was impossible for this practice of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge not to arouse the resentment of the old party.
The reason why the old party chose Han Gang was not that they could agree with Han Gang's ideas, but that they resented Wang Anshi. Anyone or anything that can cause trouble to Wang Anshi will make the group of mourning dogs make a sound together, and then gloat at the new party's scrambling appearance.
More importantly, they also hoped that Han Gang, who had an unstable foundation, would be able to activate the old party in order to strengthen his foundation after taking power.
But Han Gang's treachery made the old party completely give up that extravagant hope - after Han Gang entered the two governments, he did not compete with the new party for power and profit at all, but only cared about his own one-third of an acre of land, and with his ability and talents, he did not need to bring in more supporters - and he did not have any hope for Han Gang from then on.
No matter if Han Jiang completely stands on Han Gang's side today and gives Han Gang a few more votes, once the votes of the old party are subtracted, it will be equivalent to the number of votes obtained by Han Gang in the previous court push when he entered the two provinces, and it still can't change the overall situation.
Li Ding shook his head, with the Queen Mother and Han Jiang here, things will still have some twists and turns.
After Han Jiang's position drastically changed the voting results, it not only means that some people intend to speculate, but also means that the possibility of taking the middle route has become greater.
I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people who will choose neutrality. After all, in addition to Wang Anshi and Han Gang, they also had a choice, and that was to abstain.
The temptation to decide the right of the country was so that the ministers would not give up the right to vote, at least in this first meeting.
But now the situation is too sinister, whether you are on which side, you have to gamble your future.
Many members of the New Party are nothing more than people who have seen the wind and steered the rudder, and in the current environment, there is no need to expect them to be firm in their convictions.
Li Ding carefully counted the number of support that the New Party side could now receive, one, two, and he stared at the familiar faces, estimating their positions. After the most reassuring, you can still have an advantage and ensure victory.
But this peace of mind only lasted for a short time, and Han Gang's speech plunged him into confusion.
'Keep changing the law!? ’
Just when Li Ding was relieved by the huge gap between Han Gang and his own votes, Han Gang's speech came into his ears like a shocking sound. With a shake of his hands, the wat board in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Li Ding couldn't believe his ears.
Han Gang's boldness was completely beyond his imagination.
This is to snatch the banner of law change from Wang Anshi's hands.
Han Gang kept saying that he wanted to do it before, but now he wants to continue to change the law, of course, how to change it depends on his Han Yukun's preferences.
A wave of anger rose from his heart, then quickly disappeared, and now was no longer the time to be angry.
Don't talk about other things, just talk about the old party. No matter how annoyed they are with Han Gang, they can see that the new party is about to be occupied by people, and the people in the old party will definitely support Han Gang without hesitation, and then return home and start laughing until they laugh like crazy or laugh so hard that they suffocate themselves.
And the New Party ......
Li Ding's brows tightened, compared to the old party, which was formed by simply resenting the new party, the thoughts of the members of the new party were ten times more complicated, and their current thoughts could not be guessed at all when they met no one could have predicted.
…………………………
Although he felt the look of anger for a moment, but then, Han Gang didn't find much expression on Wang Anshi's dark face. But he only glanced at it and didn't observe it carefully-Wang Anshi's mood was not in Han Gang's attention now.
Han Gang wants to change the state of the country, take qi science as the key link, defeat the new school, and invite the new party out of the court, in essence, it is to use the emerging force to drive out the old vested interests.
And the so-called change of law, in the end, is also a change in the distribution of interests.
It's essentially the same.
But the same essence, in another way, can give people a different feeling.
In the past 10 years or so, the old party has suffered the greatest losses and has also been called out the most. In other words, the group of people who suffered the most and failed to seize new benefits in time in the reform of the law formed the old party.
And now that Han Gang shouted to continue to change the law, with past experience, Han Gang believes that most of the courtiers who can now stand in this hall can understand that the opportunity has come again.
Once he succeeds, many key positions will have new masters, and then for a long time to come, he will take control of the court.
How many of the courtiers who were only a few steps away from the two provinces could resist such a temptation?
……………………
Continue to change the law?
In Pu Zongmeng's eyes, after throwing out this thunderous remark, Han Gang was still calm.
Pu Zongmeng was completely relieved, and the previous gambling was considered to have won the bet for him.
After Han Jiang made a decision, the result became unpredictable. Who is better?
Of the 32 people who held the ballots, only a small number unswervingly insisted on their choice, and many more fell into confusion. Including Wang Cun and Yang Ji, who once supported the New Party, and Pu Zongmeng, who defected to Han Gang.
Choosing the target of the vote is equivalent to one more mortal enemy. This is to take risks with one's future status.
Pu Zongmeng was only in the mood to gamble before, but now he is completely relieved.
Can Han Gang do better? Judging from Han Gang's previous performance, of course, there is no need to worry.
But the important ministers who have the right to vote, when they make their choices, they are by no means worried about the country and the people-
- Can Han Gang's proposal give them more benefits?
Pu Zongmeng was sure that Han Gang could do it.
At this time, the position of the new party had been solidified, and the new law had been in place for many years, and the order of promotion in order of seniority that the old party wanted to maintain in the past has now reappeared in the new party. At the beginning of the law change, 'newly' appeared frequently, like Lu Huiqing in three or five years, Cai did six years in the Beijing Dynasty to the prime minister, and now it is impossible to do it.
For example, Wang Shao, Zhang Dan, and Han Gang relied on accumulating military merits to promote the two governments, which was completely fantastical for the vast majority of courtiers. Without the support from above, there are not enough vacancies, how can it be possible to enter the two mansions?
Han Gang is not deeply rooted now, and there is a lack of people in his hands, which is a disadvantage and an advantage, and he wants the best opportunity. Otherwise, there are Zhang Dan, Lu Huiqing, Lu Jiawen, Li Ding, Zeng Xiaokuan and others, how can others fight with them?
Han Gang is in his early thirties, but Han Jiang, Su Song, and even Zhang Qi are not young, and waiting for their vacancies is several times easier than competing with Lu Huiqing, Li Ding and others.
……………………
Zeng Xiaokuan was originally going to speak after Han Gang.
After discussing with Wang Anshi, Zhang Dan, Li Ding and other important ministers of the New Party, he also summed up a proposal and handed it over to Zeng Xiaokuan at today's palace.
Because Han Gang's proposal must be to adhere to the military defense of the mainstay, maintain peace with the Liao State, and at the same time carry out large-scale construction in the country, use the track to link the generals, and reform the official school and the imperial examination, open the channel for the people of the Qi School to enter the court, and revise and revise the new law and the new school.
Wang Anshi and Zhang Dan's opinion was still to keep the existing state unchanged, in addition to strengthening the transportation of Hebei and Hedong, and at the same time maintain an offensive against Liao, attack shallowly to lure the enemy, and encroach on the main force of Liao, so as not to let Yelu Yixin have a chance to breathe.
The proposal of the New Party was in direct opposition to Han Gang, and since Han Gang did not forget to dig up the foundation of the New Party at any time, Wang Anshi of course resolutely refused to give Qi a chance to get ahead.
Moreover, the courtiers who are qualified to vote will definitely try out the power in their hands at this first meeting, so they should not wait passively, but should take the initiative to use it.
Zeng Xiaokuan is still relatively confident in this proposal, after all, there are not many courtiers who are willing to take risks, especially those who are already in high positions, and few are willing to gamble with their lives.
But Han Gang's speech changed all that.
Han Gang no longer simply wants to overthrow the new party and the new law, but wants to snatch the new law from the hands of the new party, win the position of presiding over the reform of the law, and reform it according to his own wishes.
The statement that had been prepared for a long time was left behind by Zeng Xiaokuan.
-- The banner of law change in the hands of the new party must not be taken away by Han Gang.
Now that Han Gang is only thirty years old, once he is given the leadership of the great cause of changing the law, there will be no matter for the new party.
On the contrary, if Han Gang is allowed to return, Lu Huiqing and even Zhang Dian will have the opportunity to make special honors in the war against Liao, and there is no need to level Liao in one fell swoop, or recover the lost land of Yan Ji, as long as there is some merit, the power of the Northern Expedition can be controlled by the new party, and the new law can continue to be maintained in the future.
"Your Majesty." Zeng Xiaokuan couldn't delay and came out after Han Gang.
It's just that he lacks talent, and in a short period of time, it is difficult to find a new belly case, let alone win over Han Gang. He was about to squeeze out a little time to think with the help of slow movements.
But he ignored one person, Lu Jiawen went out of class almost at the same time as him, raised his head and protested, "Your Majesty, the law changer, the first emperor and Pingzhang drafted, it has been practiced for many years, China is becoming more and more prosperous, and the military is getting stronger. The lack of national puppets is just because of the chaos in the northern border, which is actually far greater than the beginning of Xining. ”
Lu Jiawen wanted to refute Han Gang and prevent him from snatching the banner of law change, but it was just a whim, but he didn't have his own corresponding proposal.
But such a direct attack on Han Gang angered one person, "Lu Qing, take out your proposal, and let the secretaries discuss it together, which is right and which is wrong, has its own public opinion." ”
The anger of the Queen Mother is just right, who should be chosen, in the hearts of many people, there is no longer hesitation.
