Chapter 48: The Red Sun Comes and Falls (2)
Wang Anshi went to Beijing.
Wang Anshi arrived in Beijing.
Jinling to Beijing two thousand miles, two news in the old days can pull out half a month of distance, now because of the railway, is yesterday the previous news just sent to Beijing, today carrying Wang Anshi's family, has arrived at Tokyo station.
On the royal street from Xuande Gate and Suzaku Gate all the way to the south, a team of people hurried by. The team of hundreds of people held flags in front of them and umbrellas in the back, and they were not prime ministers, so they had no such momentum.
If you have a little understanding of the court, you don't need to look at the flag, just look at the logo on the carriage, and you will know that this is the car of Prime Minister Han Gang.
Inquisitive and curious eyes were projected from both sides of the Royal Street, following Han Gang's carriage all the way.
With a little well-informed ears and eyes, coupled with a little associative power, Han Gang didn't have to guess what he was going to do when he went out.
Wang Xianggong is menacing, and Han Xianggong is afraid that he will be in a hurry.
The grievances and grievances between Wang Anshi and Han Gang Weng's son-in-law can be serialized in the past year, just like the legendary novels published in the newspapers.
More importantly, Wang Anshi chose to go to Beijing at this point in time, ostensibly for the marriage of his granddaughter and the Son of Heaven, and the prime ministers would allow him to have other plans, but in fact, everyone knew that he was here to dismantle his son-in-law for the sake of his grandson-in-law.
Wang Anshi has never been easy to deal with. He went to Beijing ahead of schedule and didn't give the prime ministers time to prepare.
Although the Eastern Mansion has unified the opinions of the councilors, if Wang Anshi wants to make trouble, he can still stir the court into a mess.
The prime ministers broke into the Funing Palace a few days ago and reprimanded the emperor for a while, which had long been spread among the Jingshi.
It is not uncommon for the emperor not to become a weapon, it is a matter of hundreds of millions of yuan in the world, the courtiers advise, and the prime minister reprimands, and it is not unheard of in the past. But after all, it was just a personal act, and the purpose was also to teach the Son of Heaven to learn well. And this time, the three prime ministers acted together, and their attitude towards the Son of Heaven was not a teaching, but a real reprimand.
The attitude of the prime ministers towards the emperor is no longer just a slap in the palm of the hand, it can be said that it is a slap in the face, and the emperor has no face.
The Son of Heaven faked poisoning at the instigation of the concubine and used it to frame the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister. Fortunately, there was a loyal servant who found out in time and hastily replaced the poison with charcoal powder. medicine, lest the delicate and frail Son of Heaven take poison by mistake. medicine, accidentally a life whine.
If the Son of Heaven really knows so little self-love as rumored, this is indeed something to be scolded. But for many well-intentioned people, the rumors in the Jingshi market, as long as the details are sufficient, there is only one reason, that is, someone deliberately leaked it. The truth in it is not necessarily comparable to those unfounded rumors.
The bigger the official does, the more fierce the lie will be, and once the government dispute reaches the stage where it is necessary to spread rumors to influence public opinion, in order to suppress the enemy, no one will hesitate to tell a few more lies.
However, the rumor of such an overly forceful appearance also proves what the prime ministers want to do. It's just that Wang Anshi came-
'The official family has this old man outside, and this old man has an official family inside, and the two echo each other, and it will be difficult for the ministers to get their wishes. ’
A few words on the side of the street came into his ears, and Ye Wensuo looked back at his companions: "People nowadays really dare to say anything." ”
Zong Ze said: "It's different from the past now. ”
"Because there's no Wutai anymore."
Zong Ze smiled, the Yushitai in the past can indeed be said to be gone.
In the past, it would not be taboo for scholars to discuss the government on weekdays, and when there was a great change in the court, they became cautious one by one.
There is no one who can stay in the court for long.
Even if there is a father-in-law who is the prime minister, even if the reputation spreads all over Shilin, once the opportunity is seized by political enemies, he will still roll out of the court in disgrace.
Because the emperor has an imperial city division in his hands, and there is also a Wutai in the court.
These two yamen, like two sharp blades, hung over the heads of every civil and military official, telling them to be cautious in their words and deeds.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the crows in the Yushi Tai have first become squeaky sparrows on the side of the road, and then they are not even sparrows, and they have become house sparrows raised by the two prefectures.
And the Imperial City Division, which originally had ears facing outward, now one is at Funing Palace and the other is at Shengrui Palace, so that the ten people who dare not go outside the palace to collect rumors in the market and supervise the movements of the courtiers.
Without the swords, guns, swords, and halberds hanging overhead, there are more and more people who can't control their mouths.
Zong Ze was in Zhongshu and was quite touched by this, "Without supervision, there will be more and more good things in this market." ”
Ye Wensu said with a smile: "Now in the capital, isn't everyone thinking about whether the two governments will work with the Queen Mother to abolish the emperor?" There is also Wang Xianggong, will he fight with his son-in-law when he goes to Beijing this time? ”
Zong Ze laughed: "I don't know how to look at the transfer? ”
Ye Wensuo said frankly: "If the Son of Heaven gains power, there will be bloody storms in the court for many years." Today's emperor is not as good as Renzong. ”
Zong Ze is Han Gang's confidant, but whenever Han Gang and the emperor are mentioned in front of him, he will not stand on the emperor's side. What's more, Ye Wensuo, the transfer envoy of the two Zhejiang, is originally from Han Gang.
The Jinshi of Jiayou's second year, who didn't go to Zhangdun's path, but came to Hangang, Zong Ze has always felt a little strange. This is a fellow villager who was admitted to the Jinshi before he was born. Zong Ze had heard of his name many times when he was a student. But in the past few years of interaction under Han Gang's sect, Zong Ze has never seen Ye Wensuo have the slightest style of relying on the old and selling the old. Now the tone is even more clear that he wants to charge for Han Gang.
Zong Ze sighed secretly, he didn't mean that the position of discussing politics was so precious.
Restraining his feelings, he said: "For thousands of years, the name of Renzong has only been used in this dynasty. ”
Ye Wensuo nodded, and suddenly said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zong Ze said calmly: "The big rebellion will not be done by the politicians." ”
"What kind of discussion is about politics, in the final analysis, it depends on the plan of the public."
Zong Ze shook his head and said calmly: "Before doing things, the ministers will consider the ideas of the politicians, and they will not act alone. These days, all the major policies of the court are discussed with the councilors before making decisions. ”
"The humility of the prince is the blessing of the court. But for more than 100 years since the founding of the country, how many prime ministers have there been, but how many attendant officers have there been? The conspiracy can be outnumbered, and the important affairs of the military state still have to be grasped by the prime minister himself. ”
"The great politics of the country, only thirty or forty people, can not be described as many." Zong Ze smiled at Ye Wensuo, "It won't be long before the transfer will be understood." ”
The joy on Ye Wensuo's face flashed, but he pretended not to care, "What will happen in the future, I will talk about it later." Rulin, do you and I want to gamble, will Wang Xianggong go to court tomorrow? ”
……………………
Whether Wang Anshi will go to court tomorrow, many people want to know.
Han Gang went to the station to pick up Wang Anshi and his wife, and diligently sent his parents-in-law to live next to the king - although the emperor is not a weapon, but the future Guozhang's mansion in Beijing is larger than the prime minister's mansion, which was changed by the palace, and after Wang Anshi entered Beijing, he did not have to live in the post house, let alone live in his son-in-law's house.
As soon as Wang Anshi settled down, the children of the Han family, under the leadership of Wang Yi, went to visit their grandfather and grandmother.
Even the palace sent people out to greet them, there was Baoci Palace, there was Shengrui Palace, but there was no Funing Palace.
Since the concubine's people were not stopped, the Son of Heaven wanted to send an attendant to greet the patriarch of the country and the queen's grandfather, and the prime ministers naturally would not stop him - this is a human courtesy. But for some reason, the emperor did not send anyone to inquire.
As for the Chinese military officials in Beijing, there were only a few who came to visit, and most of them only sent servants to give books and gifts.
Wang Anshi's thoughts are still an elusive mystery, and his next actions have become the most concerned issue among the Jingshi.
Not only outside the palace, but also inside the palace in general.
Zhao Xu didn't close his eyes all night, and Wang Anshi unexpectedly went to Beijing ahead of schedule, which made him overjoyed.
All night, he tossed and turned in bed, anxiously waiting for the dawn.
When the morning dawn arrives, you can see the old man who has placed high hopes on him.
It's just that there is still a small shadow in my heart, why did the Queen Mother send someone to inform her that Wang Anshi had arrived in Beijing.
In the past few days, Funing Palace and Shengrui Palace have started a new round of purging, that is, on the day when the prime minister made trouble in Funing Palace, the palace people around Zhao Xu were replaced by new people, and no one dared to leak any outside news to their mother and son on the cusp of the storm.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager sending someone to inform him, he would have no way of knowing that Wang Anshi had arrived in Beijing.
The Queen Mother's sudden kindness, Zhao Ji didn't feel that she was making up for the grievances she had suffered.
Maybe I didn't take it seriously, or maybe I felt that since we would definitely meet at the court meeting, there was no difference between one day earlier and one day later. But more likely, it's a trap!
For Zhao Xu, the Queen Mother's negligence is that she is lucky. But how dare Zhao Xu pin his hopes on luck now?
Zhao Xu thought about it for a long time before giving up contacting Wang Anshi directly.
First, in order to avoid alerting the prime ministers, and secondly, he doesn't even have a confidant now, so he rashly arranged someone to contact Wang Anshi, where to find credible people?
As long as Wang Anshi is still in the Jingshi, sooner or later he will find an opportunity to contact him. It's just that the queen can get this thing done.
Zhao Xu waited anxiously for the dawn, after waiting for so many years, his patience was almost exhausted, but at the moment, he could still afford to wait.
The reason why the queen mother was able to listen to the government and the prime ministers were able to control the court was because they controlled the channel between the inner and the outside world.
Once he can get in touch with old ministers like Wang Anshi, he will be able to gather the leaderless loyal ministers of the dragons, and he will definitely be able to put things right and return the world to a prosperous future.

"What did Ling Yue say?"
"Don't worry."
"What about the Son of Heaven?"
"Let him continue dreaming, it's almost dawn, there's no need to wake him up in a hurry."
"Tomorrow?"
"It's already today!"
