"The mountain rain is coming."

"It's going to be windy and rainy, huh? After a few more storms, the house won't last long. ”

Wang Hou rubbed his hands in front of the stove, and lifted the Imperial City Division in a dignified manner, just like a coolie outside, squatting on the ground regardless of decency.

"I don't know how long the yamen of the Imperial City Division has not been repaired, the top of my head is leaking, the wind is leaking on all sides, and the cold air is coming from under my feet, and the Tubo tent I lived in back then has never been so dilapidated."

Wang Houhao complained and gently put Li Xian's words away

Wang Hou squatted, and Li Xian, who was also in the hall, was inconvenient to stand, and squatted in front of the stove to roast the fire together.

Listening to Wang Hou's complaints, he smiled bitterly, Wang Hou's words were too exaggerated, as long as there was a leak in the public hall raised by the Imperial City Division, it would definitely be repaired immediately, but it was not wrong to be dilapidated.

"Who makes the imperial court look closely, if there is a little money in the palace and wants to repair the house, it is mainly close to the two palaces of Qingshou and Baoci and the official family, where is the turn to get the imperial city division?"

Wang Hou's hands rubbed together: "But this matter of changing the stove is quite fast." If people want to make a fire, they have to come to the edge of the house. ”

"After the first emperor's incident, everyone was afraid of charcoal, so they could only change it like this."

When Li Xian sat in the Imperial City Office Hall to deal with official business, he couldn't help but feel that the soles of his feet were cold. In the past, it would have been good to drag a brazier over, but since Emperor Xizong collapsed due to charcoal poisoning, the braziers in the palace and in the yamen have all been changed to stoves with fixed ventilation channels. If you want to make a fire, you either have to move the decorations, or someone will come over, or you can simply light a brazier. It's just that the wind has been strong for the past two days, and after closing the doors and windows, even if he is as bold as Wang Hou, he doesn't dare to use the brazier anymore - after all, this room is not leaking on all sides as he said.

"I don't know if it's better to change." Wang Hou snorted coldly.

"Let's change it later...... I don't know what to think of Liao affairs? Yelu Yixin usurped the throne, and the Liao State was bound to be in civil strife. Wang Pingzhang asked for war, Lu Xuanhui also asked for war, but the other Zaifu were against sending troops, which was really incomprehensible. ”

Li Xian directly pulled back the topic that Wang Hou had avoided.

Wang Hou looked down at the hearth: "I know, it's not appropriate." ”

"If those two relatives are here, Li Xian will never dare to say more." Li Xian stared at Wang Hou, "But at the moment, there are only two of you." ”

I almost always made it clear that eunuchs should not ask about military and state affairs, and Li Xian still insisted on it, so there was only one possibility. Wang Hou raised his head and laughed, "Is it the Queen Mother who wants to ask?" ”

"Naturally!" Li Xian replied. If it wasn't for the edict of the Queen Mother, how could he dare to say half a word?

"The Queen Mother wants to know Lu Daohan's intention to participate in politics, why don't you ask directly?"

"Didn't the Queen Mother ask Han to participate in politics? South Korea's participation in politics is only opposed. ”

Li Xian put on a 'you know' expression, and it was rumored in the world that Han Gang and other Zaifu were against sending troops to the Liao State, but it was just a trick to deceive the Liao people in the capital. Recently, the Imperial City Division has arrested a number of Liao State fine works, which has caused an uproar among the government and the public, which happened to be confirmed.

"There are many rumors in the market from the palace, and the Queen Mother knows that Han has concerns about participating in politics, and she is also afraid that the news will be leaked, so she ordered Li Xian to ask. It is the best to promote and participate in politics with South Korea, and the idea of South Korea's participation in politics should be entrusted to the promotion to understand. After the question is understood, I will tell Li Xian. This matter is out of the mouth of the king, and it is in the ears of the constitution, except for the queen mother and Han Zheng, the fifth person will never know. ”

"Han Senzheng answered in person, the Queen Mother didn't believe it, and she had to send Du Zhi to ask Wang Hou, do you think that Han Senzheng is not sincere?!"

Wang Hou was still smiling, but his words made Li Xian shudder. really angered Han Gang, and the Queen Mother would never protect him.

……………………

Li Xian is gone.

It can be said that he was scared away by Wang Hou.

Can scare away this colleague and old acquaintance, Wang Hou just sighed lightly, turned around and left the office of the Imperial City Division.

At this time, it was almost time to release the government, and the number of officials who left the imperial city gradually increased.

Four huge artillery pieces are still standing inside the Xuande Gate. The gloomy cannon body, like a rock, is indestructible and full of weight.

The four guns are an ornament, but the artillery is by no means.

With such militaristic weapons, it was a thousand times easier to hold the Song-Liao border than before.

But attacking Liao is not so simple.

Otherwise, Zaifu, who knew soldiers such as Zhang Dian and Han Gang, would never have opposed it so strongly.

Yelu Yixin can't fail, but the Great Song can't afford to fail either.

A fiasco in a decisive battle in the land of Youyan meant that tens of thousands of elites could not return home, the forbidden army could not afford such a loss, and no Zaifu dared to take risks. Even Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing didn't dare.

Their support is just another layer of criticism for party struggle.

But to this day, the court is still very calm, and there is no one

Wang Hou slowly walked up to the Xuande Gate, and saw Zhang Dian and Han Gang walking towards the city gate together.

Wang Hou was surprised in his heart, this is really rare.

……………………

Zhang Dan has not had a good face for several days.

Whether it is in the court, or in the yamen, or at home.

The expression of the black face seemed to be frozen on the face of the Great Song Privy Envoy.

Wang Anshi supported the dispatch of troops, and Lu Huiqing also supported the dispatch of troops.

This is clearly an attempt to pull Lu Huiqing back from the locality.

Who would dare to put a pacification envoy who supported the war against Liao in Hebei?

Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing did this, more and more like a means used by the old party elders when they opposed the new law.

"Since Lu Jifu wants to come back, it's better to come back."

Although Han Gang said so, Zhang Dian didn't see the slightest concern on Han Gang's face.

"It doesn't have to be. As long as the imperial court does not agree to send troops, how can Lu Jifu mobilize the forbidden troops of Hebei? Moreover, what Jiefu Pingzhang and Jifu said was only whether to send troops or not, how could they have any other meaning? ”

He didn't believe Zhang Dun's words, but he couldn't openly echo Han Gang and accuse a Xuanhui envoy who was also in the same party.

"Now that the people's sentiment is working hard, it is really not difficult for Lu Jifu to start a border provocation and put the responsibility on the Liao State."

The Liao State is worried about internal strife, but the crisis of the enemy country is an opportunity for the country. Guozijian has been boiling over this, and thousands of Taitai students are looking forward to taking advantage of the civil strife in Liao to be able to completely solve the great enemy in the north. The people's enthusiasm and warlike thoughts are the first to be led by the Guozijian,

"Yukun!" Zhang Dian sharply interrupted Han Gang's words, and Han Gang was accusing Lu Huiqing of ignoring the orders of the imperial court and sending troops without authorization.

"It's impossible to take the initiative to send troops, what if the Liao army enters the Kou?" Han Gang said with a smile, "When the time comes, Han Gang will only be able to push the boat down the river...... Isn't it? ”

Zhang's face was a little longer, and he was about to catch up with the donkey's long face.

The Queen Mother is now obedient to Han Gang's words, and if Han Gang proposes to transfer Lu Huiqing back, the Queen Mother will definitely issue an edict for this. But if Han Gang proposed to issue an edict to reprimand Lu Huiqing, the Queen Mother would never refuse.

A belligerent Hebei pacification envoy is not needed by the imperial court, but it is innocent and should not move to the left, and the Zhulu pacification envoy is the most respected in Hebei, and it is not feasible to transfer it to another way, and it is the easiest way to recall it to the capital.

But what if Han Gang didn't pay any attention to Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing's plans?

only pushed Lu Huiqing behind his back and made it difficult for him to ride the tiger, this is the best way to deal with it.

If the materials given by the imperial court are more and more sufficient, will Lu Huiqing really be able to lead the army to attack Liao? Just by virtue of him, a civil servant who has never commanded thousands of troops?

Zhang Dian expressed deep doubts about this.

……………………

Soon after Han Gang returned home, Wang Hou came to the door.

"Yukun, how's it going?" Wang Hou asked a little nervously.

"Jiayue is really becoming more and more like Luoyang's Wen Xianggong."

Han Gang shook his head, not hiding the disappointment in his heart, Wang Anshi really spent some effort and effort in order to transfer Lu Huiqing back.

Perhaps this is Wang Anshi's reluctant cooperation with Lu Huiqing, but since Wang Anshi has done so, it also proves that he has put party struggle in a more important position than national politics.

Wang Hou was stunned, he originally thought that Han Gang would say a few more words about Lu Huiqing, or discuss things with Zhang Den, but he didn't expect Han Gang to directly accuse his father-in-law.

"Jiayue probably thought that I would advise the Queen Mother and transfer Lu Huiqing back to Beijing, lest he provoke the border?"

"Yukun, what are you going to do?" Wang Hou asked, "Find a royal historian to impeach Lu Huiqing?" ”

In addition to inviting the people of Wutaizhong, Wang Hou has no other ideas.

The easiest way to deny Lu Huiqing's proposal and make it impossible for him to be transferred back to the capital is to find a full-time person, that is, Yushi. It is not difficult to use the imperial history to take a bite and rectify Lu Huiqing, who is outside. But Han Gang didn't do it.

"Who are you looking for?" Han Gang shook his head, the Yushitai is no longer the original one, and the one in it is more slippery than the other: "I will never use the Yushi first, and the foundation of qi is much worse than that of the new party." ”

Wang Anshi and Han Gang, the son-in-law of Weng, have not torn their faces all along, they have relied on the restraint of both sides, and they have not used the murder weapon of Yushitai. Once Han Gang instructed Yushitai to impeach Lu Huiqing, then it was the beginning of the party struggle. The officials under the Qixue sect are far inferior to the strength and status of the members of the New Party, and after a big war, Han Gang may be able to keep the second and third core members, but the little team of Qixue in the court is afraid that it will be eradicated

Something that doesn't make sense, Han Gang won't do it. In a battle where both sides are defeated and their own casualties are heavier, Han Gang will not be even more interested.

But among the generals of Hebei, who doesn't like military exploits? When things come to an end, there is always a chance to be willing to fight and find a wife and son.

Wang Hou also agreed with Han Gang's opinion: "If there are a few people in the Liao State who are willing to lead the way for the officials and soldiers anyway, there are indeed not many generals who can endure it." When the time comes, it will not be good to be led into a trap...... There have never been fewer such examples in the history books. ”

"Actually, there already is." Han Gang laughed, his smile as cold as the weather outside, "It's really timely, isn't it?" ”
