Chapter 44: The Temple of Literature Treatise (4)
[The first update, ask for red tickets, collect]
"What about my two companions?" Han Gang asked, although he could already determine the whereabouts of Liu Zhongwu and Lu Ming.
Sure enough, Yi Cheng replied: "Liu Guanren and Lu Xue were invited by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang also left a message, asking the official to come back and go to the Zhuangyuan Building, where he had prepared a few glasses of thin wine and was looking forward to it. And Wang Dashen also left a message, asking the official to go to his house tonight. ”
I didn't expect to become hot all of a sudden. Han Gang smiled self-deprecatingly and looked down at the two famous posts in his hand. Don't think about where to go tonight, although Han Gang has heard a lot about the reputation of Zhang Yu's son Zhang Dian in Tokyo these days, but Wang Anshi's cronies are still much worse than Wang Anshi himself.
Wang Anshi said that during his illness, in order to show his tough attitude, Du Men did not come out, and he did not see outsiders at all, and it is said that even Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu, their right-hand men, were no exception. Wang Anshi invites himself over now, he must have received the edict and is ready to make a comeback.
This is a good thing, Han Gang is secretly happy. With Wang Anshi coming out to support, at least the pressure on Wang Shao can be reduced a lot.
Han Gang quickly changed his clothes when he returned to the room, and put Zhang Yu's name card away. At the same time, put Wang Anshi's name card in his sleeve and prepare to return it when he went to the palace - the name card of the governor is not something that can be accepted casually, and the status is not enough, so he will return it when he gets it. For example, Han Gang is not qualified to take it at all, and he will definitely return it according to etiquette.
Out of the post house under the envious eyes of everyone, Han Gang sent Li Xiaoliu to the Zhuangyuan Building first, and said sorry to Zhang Yu, who was warmly invited. This kid is clever by nature, and the champion building is not far from the south of the city, and Han Gang is not afraid that he will be lost. Watching Li Xiaoliu walk away, Han Gang turned around and found a horse renter at the corner of the street: "Go to the Taipingfang in the first compartment of the Left Army." ”
When the tenant saw Han Gang, he immediately accompanied him with a smiling face: "The official is going to Wang Dashen's house, right?" ”
"How do you know about the Dao?" Han Gang was slightly surprised, the Taipingfang in the inner city was a gathering place for dignitaries, and there were dozens of families, how did he know that he was looking for Wang Anshi? How smart are the minds of taxi drivers in Beijing?
The horse renter said with a smile: "The little one is doing business on the edge of the post in the south of the city, although I am not lucky to let the officials take care of the business, I still hear a lot of news about the officials." ”
"I see." Han Gang nodded, feeling amused to himself, it would not be surprising to say anything clearly. He jumped on his horse and whipped towards Wang Anshi's mansion.
……………………
rushed into the palace to thank him, but was rejected by Zhao Ji, Wang Anshi's mood at this time was certainly not good. But he didn't have time to be angry, and Zhao Ji would make such a change, and the reason is not known - it is not a secret that Cheng Lu Gong rushed into the palace in the afternoon in the imperial history. But what he said to Zhao Ji is quite confusing.
What did Duke Lu say after entering the palace? Why did the Son of Heaven become so fast? Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Dun, who were gathered in Wang Anshi's study, were all a little absent-minded, thinking about the same question.
Lu Huiqing thought for a while, then stopped guessing, and snorted self-deprecatingly as if giving up. Although he was still a little concerned, it was not as worried as Zeng Bu's frowning. The planning of enriching the country and strengthening the army has just begun, and the Son of Heaven cannot do without Wang Anshi, which Lu Huiqing sees very clearly. And his master can only see the tricks now, and it is impossible to force the emperor to express his position by calling himself sick.
Zhang Dian also quickly gave up thinking about those two headaches. There have always been rumors and no secrets in the imperial city, and you can know about the Tao tomorrow, so why bother meditating tonight?
Only Zeng Bu frowned. Wang Anshi has just been sick, and he used his resignation to threaten the Son of Heaven, this trick cannot be used again in a short time, and tomorrow, he can only go to the court as usual. But the appearance of him being turned away from the palace gate, I am afraid that it has spread all over Tokyo, Zeng Bu is not difficult to imagine, tomorrow when he goes to Zhongshu, what kind of eyes will be seen by several ministers in the political hall.
"Don't think so much! Tell us what's going on lately? ”
Wang Anshi knocked on the table and focused the attention of the three assistants. He's not the kind of person who can change his mood and become calm and relaxed in a short period of time. But his stubborn temper made Wang Anshi more and more oppressed, the tougher he became. Firm will and self-confidence are the qualities that every politician and reformer must have, and Wang Anshi has never lacked these two points.
Wang Anshi asked, and Zhang Dian spoke first: "The Regulations Department of the Three Divisions is the target of the public, and in the past few days when he was participating in politics and complaining of illness, Uncle Chen Yang [Chen Shengzhi] has repeatedly played to abolish the Regulations Department of the Three Divisions. At the same time, he also opposes the establishment of the Chinese Book Regulations Division, but says that the two divisions have no story and no precedent, and it is appropriate to remove them. ”
Zeng Bu sneered: "If it weren't for Uncle Chen Yang's support for political participation and the new law, how could he let him ascend to the throne first." Unexpectedly, he became the prime minister, and his face changed when he turned around. ”
Zhang Dian also smiled, with sarcasm in his smile: "Get the fish and forget about it." Chen Xianggong can be described as Quanxiang. ”
'So the one who is in the fish, gets the fish and forgets the fish. 'Tsuen is a bamboo cage, using a bamboo cage to catch fish, but after catching a fish, he forgets the credit of the bamboo cage. Zhang Dian quoted this sentence from "Zhuangzi", which is to satirize Chen Shengzhi for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, Wang Anshi also smiled when he heard it, and said in his heart, this Zhang Zi is still unforgiving.
"The three divisions and regulations are the target of public criticism, and they will inevitably be attacked the most in the future. The seedling loan and the farmland interest treaty are both related to agriculture, can the two things be classified as Sinong Temple? Lu Huiqing proposed, and added with a smile, "Uncle Chen Yang can't say that Sinong Temple will be removed too, right?" ”
“…… Jifu's suggestion is very good. Wang Anshi thought about it for a while, then nodded in approval, "The six departments and nine temples are all empty and famous now, but they have no real jobs. All the affairs are in charge of the Zhongshu door. But as long as the name is there, no one can say anything about it when it comes back to operation. That's it......" Wang Anshi suddenly smiled, "As long as I'm still in this position!" ”
The four core figures of the reform faction discussed one issue after another, and Wang Anshi did not come out of the door, and there were many political facts that were delayed. Time passed imperceptibly, and the lamp oil had been added twice.
Wang Anshi continued to ask Zhang Dian about the three divisions of the regulations department, but Zeng Bu leaned over and listened attentively. Lu Huiqing knew more about the Regulations Department of the Three Divisions than Zhang Dian, and she didn't have the heart to listen to him. After sitting for a long time, he was also tired, straightened his waist, loosened his stiff waist bones, and inadvertently, he saw an old man from Wang Anshi's family probing his brain outside the study.
Lu Huiqing looked at it and sighed secretly, Wang Anshi's royal majesty is too wide, how can he be so ignorant of the rules. Looking back at Wang Anshi, who was listening attentively, Lu Huiqing beckoned, called the old family members of the Wang family over and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”
The old servant knew Lu Huiqing's status in Wang Anshi's heart, and he didn't hide it from him, and replied: "The Han official that the prime minister is looking for is here, and San Lang is accompanying him in the side hall. ”
"Han Guanren...... Is it Han Gang? "Speaking of the surname 'Han', the first thing that comes to mind is Han Qi, followed by the three brothers Han Jiang, Han Wei, and Han Jin. But he will be found by Wang Anshi in the night, and he is only qualified to be accompanied by Wang, and there is only one Han Gang from Qinzhou recently.
The old servant nodded: "That's the name." ”
"Let him wait a little longer." Lu Huiqing commanded. Although the matter of Qinzhou is important, it is also important to fight inside and outside the imperial city. Compared with Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, and Lu Gongzhu, these treacherous and cunning opponents, Dou Shunqing, who can report the figure of one hectare and forty-seven acres, is really stupid and cute. If Wang Shao can't even fight him, he might as well pack up and go back to his hometown to retire.
Hearing the words relayed by the old servant of the Wang family, Han Gang sat down and waited quietly. The side hall of Wang Anshi's mansion was empty, and there was a strange wind from nowhere, and the light from the brazier and oil lamp was beating hard.
Han Gang and Wang were separated by a few cases and sat on a long couch together. The subordinates of the Wang family came in with tea, and Han Gang glanced at him, but found that he was still an old servant. It's rare that the Wang family has no other servants? Thinking about it, when he came in, Han Gang did find that the mansion of Wang Anshi's mansion was not small, but the mansion was not popular enough, and many places were not taken care of, and it looked a little dilapidated.
If it is an eight-rank official like Wang Shao who leaves home and is an official outside the home, it is okay, and Wang Anshi only raises a few domestic servants to participate in politics in a country, which is really rare to see, compared to the famous Bao Qingtian, the world-famous Yama Bao Lao, it is almost the same.
Han Gang has always respected honest and honest officials. Wang Anshi is not luxurious, does not accept concubines, is not good at money, coupled with his own talents, each of which makes Han Gang awe-inspired. But this does not mean that he is happy to deal with Qing officials.
However, all Qing officials are extremely self-confident people, who regard their beliefs and principles as higher than the sky, and force others to abide by them like him, to put it mildly, it is the so-called paranoia. Discipline himself strictly, treat others as strictly, Han Gang learned that Bao Zheng is such a character, the legendary Hai Rui in later generations is also average, and Wang Anshi is famous for his stubbornness, so he inevitably has some apprehension in his heart, and when he greets Wang Bian, he has some scruples.
Unlike his father's famous black face, Wang Bi is not dark, but fair-skinned, and looks a little less bloody, probably not very well, a little thin. Compared with the second son of Wang Shao's family, the second son of Wang Anshi's family does not look likable at first glance, looks very gloomy, and does not have the look of a young man. And in terms of fame, Wang Bi is far inferior to his precocious brother.
Wang Yan's roe deer is next to the deer, next to the deer is the anecdote of the deer, and Sima Guang smashed the cylinder, as well as Wen Yanbo Shudong fishing for balls, which are also historical stories that Han Gang heard in his childhood, and they were also widely circulated at this time. Moreover, Han Gang also heard from Wang Hou that when Wang Yan was thirteen years old, he heard a veteran mention the matter of Hehuang, and even if he said, "This can be cared for." If the Western Xia is gained, then our enemy will be strong and the border will be troubled. In terms of knowledge, Wang Yan is also first-class, and his younger brother is definitely not comparable.
After talking for a while about the long-admired Daimyo, the weather is really good, Wang took two sips of tea and asked, "I heard that Brother Han's accent is from Kansai, I don't know which county it is?" ”
When Han Gang heard this, he was suspicious in his heart, "Why didn't Wang Anshi discuss anything with his son about business?" At the same time, he replied casually: "I am from Qinzhou." Meng Xianggong has blue eyes, and he has to be appointed to Qin Feng's strategic division. This time I entered Beijing, I handed over my family form to Liunequan. ”
"Qin Feng? Is it Hee-ha?! Wang Shao?! The king's voice sharpened coldly.
Han Gang felt that there was something wrong with Wang Yan's tone, and then remembered that Wang Yan advocated the Battle of Xihe when he was a teenager, and he had a little guess in his heart. He smiled deliberately: "Thank you, brother." If there is no brother to take the initiative to open up the Xihe River, it will be difficult to get the support of the minister. ”
As expected, Han Gang looked at Wang Bian's face and went down gloomy. Han Gang secretly sighed, there is a brother who is too good, and it is inevitable that it will be hard to be a younger brother.
"My brother just said it casually in the old days, and he forgot it a long time ago. The family is strict in everything, and they all have their own opinions, and the relatives never have to predict. Whether it is to support the development of Hehuang or to promote Brother Han, it is Jia Yan's own idea. ”
"Anyway, Han Gang has to thank Xianggong for his support and promotion, so that he can show his ambitions."
"It's also Brother Han's outstanding talent, and Jia Yan will look at it differently."
