Wang Anshi has returned to his own public hall under the Zhongshu Gate.

Sitting on the familiar seat, Wang Anshi sighed softly, if it weren't for Han Gang's statement in the palace that reversed the mind of the Son of Heaven, what he had to do now was to go home and write a recital and invite him out.

Looking at the eyes of his son and assistants standing in front of him waiting for the results, Wang Anshi smiled slightly: "Don't worry about it, thanks to Han Yukun." ”

There was already a little vague news in front, and now it was finally confirmed from Wang Anshi's mouth, Lu Jiawen was suddenly relieved, just now he didn't know how many Amitabha Buddhas he had recited in his heart, and now this ghost gate has finally passed, and involuntarily, a Buddha horn blurted out.

At the gaze that came over from the previous group, Lu Jiawen smiled a little awkwardly, "I care too much, I laugh." ”

"Who can laugh at you," Zeng Xiaokuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We have lost our sense of proportion, that is, Jifu is calm." ”

Wang Yan glanced at Zeng Xiaokuan and said, "Thanks to Ji Fu, if he hadn't heard about Zheng Xia's dedication to the homeless people, he would have been caught off guard, and Han Yukun would have been afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it as usual." ”

Lu Huiqing smiled back gently. His initial anxiety was not pretended. Wang Yan was worried about Wang Anshi and the new law, and of course Lu Huiqing was also concerned, but the order should be reversed, with the new law first and Wang Anshi behind. But then I calmed down a little, and I was completely relieved.

He said to Wang Anshi: "Huiqing knows Han Yukun's talent, and he talked eloquently when he went to Beijing at the beginning of the year, and now the new law is implemented effectively, and his contribution is indispensable." How could he not bother to argue? ”

'It's a pity......

The thoughts and words are completely different, but Lu Huiqing's smile is not unusual.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Han Gang to identify the affairs of Baima County in front of the Son of Heaven, and then invite him to enter the palace. Lu Huiqing is sure enough to completely reverse the mind of the Son of Heaven. It's just that he didn't expect Han Gang to get things done alone, even better than what he was going to do, which made his own thoughts come to naught.

At this time, I can only put away my mind and wait for a while.

Lu Huiqing is now full of unwillingness.

From the official's point of view, he and Han Gang are both from the right side of the seventh grade. It's just that after reaching the level of court officials, the level of the official is no longer important, what matters is the dispatch, seniority and embassy post. The Hanlin bachelor is much more ambitious than the Jixian school; Zhongshu Zhengzheng, judging Sinong Temple, Jiying Hall attendants, not to mention a mere Baima Zhi County can be compared, when the court schedules shifts, he can rank in the front twenty or thirty, and Han Gang almost has to be on the edge of the palace gate.

But Han Gang is a point in the blink of an eye, maybe in a few days, he will be able to catch up with him again. Even if he can't catch up, it can be seen that Han Gang, who is only half his age, can have the same rank as himself, how can Lu Huiqing not have a pimple in his heart?

However, if he was given the opportunity to turn the tide, he would be able to take a big step forward immediately, leaving Han Gang far behind, which made Zeng Bu jealous.

Wang Anshi is responsible for the great drought, and if he can't avoid it, he will resign from the phase, but to keep the new party, Lu Huiqing has enough self-confidence.

Repeal the new law? That is a fantasy that the likes of the old party can only realize in dreams.

To put it mildly, if the Son of Heaven abolishes the new law now, he will sit and eat in the blink of an eye. At that time, the civil and military generals and soldiers raised by the imperial court, together with their families, relatives and friends, millions of mouths will be opened to eat, and what can the Son of Heaven do?

If you are used to spending money lavishly, how can you save it again. I've been sending it to the officials for a few years, and I suddenly said I wouldn't send it, let's see if there's any trouble below? Not to mention the increase in the past two years for officials and in the army, can it be reduced again?

Don't look at the old party now that they have seen the catastrophe for many years, and they are as cheerful as cats and dogs in spring, they really came to power to abolish the new law, and the deficit is more serious than that in the early years of Xining, who can solve it? Is it Han, Fu, and Wen, who sit on thousands of acres of land, or Sima Guang, who only knows how to save money and food for the Son of Heaven?

As long as he relied on this, the Son of Heaven would not dare to move the new law at all. Even if it is scrapped for a while, it must be restored.

It's a pity that this opportunity.

Lu Huiqing secretly regretted herself, and laughed heartily with Wang Yan and Lu Jiawen.

Wang Yan smiled, and remembered today's heroes again: "I don't know if Lu Dao Yukun can convince Sun Yong in Kaifeng Mansion, this time the Hebei refugees will all have to rely on him to settle them." ”

"Don't worry." Lu Huiqing said, "Uncle Sun Man is now wishing that someone could help deal with the homeless. ”

In other words, if any Kaifeng prefect hears that someone can solve the tens of thousands of displaced people who have flocked to Kaifeng, he must be overjoyed, and he can't wait to hand over this mess in his hand immediately, and he will support it wholeheartedly and will not drag any back. In any case, the displaced people are all under the rule of Kaifeng Mansion, and something happens, not only Hangang will suffer, but even the Kaifeng Prefect will inevitably be affected.

As Lu Huiqing said, in the next few days, there was a son of heaven, a prime minister, and the Kaifeng prefect as the backing, Han Gangshun smoothly took over the yamen, and under his command, the huge resources of the world gathered in Kaifeng began to flow to the three counties of the old Huazhou.

The decisive battle place of Hangang against the Hebei refugees was also planned to be placed in the old Huazhou.

……………………

In Anmen, he heard the notice brought by the person from the Yushi Tai to 'send the Yu Shi Tai Gen to the music', Zheng Xia did not waver in the slightest, and there was no news back for several days, and he had already guessed today's result.

Calmly explaining the official affairs to his subordinates, Zheng Xia turned back to the officials who led the way to arrest people and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

In the Yushi Terrace, where the officials heard the change, Zheng Xia strutted with his head held high, without the slightest flinch, his straight back, and his serious expression made him feel a little tragic.

was escorted into the three halls of the Yushitai, and Zheng Xia stood still in the hall. An imperial historian sat high on the top, patted the shocked wood, and asked loudly: "Zheng Xia, are you guilty?!" ”

Zheng Xia raised his head and stared at the imperial history in the hall with firm eyes: "If you say that you are sending horses without permission, Zheng Xia is willing to be guilty!" If it is said that he will give his affection to the son of heaven, so that the ministers cannot deceive Shengcong, Zheng Xia does not know what the crime is? ! ”

Hearing Zheng Xia's reply, Cai did sigh, he really didn't want to be a troublesome case, but after Deng Juan reported to the Son of Heaven in the imperial history, he handed over the errand to himself, and he didn't want to offend the Son of Heaven because he refused.

Cai really understands that he can become the number two person in the Yushitai in two or three years, relying on figuring out the holy will.

The sin is light and the sin is heavy, depending on the thoughts of the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven accepts it, then nothing counts.

Is it a crime for a woman in Kaifeng to beat the drum in vain to find a pig? But Emperor Taizong accepted this case, so it was not a crime, and the government had to pay a pig money.

Is it a crime to write the anti-poem "Burn the Broken Sword Gate to the Pavilion, Chengdu is not a Qiankun"? Ke Renzong thought that this was just a poor and anxious official, so it was not a crime, and gave him a Sihu to join the army as a plausen.

Zheng Xia's letter, although it is good at handing it out, as long as the Son of Heaven accepts his recital. Cai did criticize a sentence of last resort, cover up the guilt, send him to Kaifeng Mansion, and ask Sun Yong to give Zheng Xia a warning, at most kick him out of Tokyo City, and let him go to other places to be an official.

But now that Zhao Ji did not accept it, but sent it to the Yushitai for conviction in a serious manner, Cai would indeed not disobey the will of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, saying that Zheng Xia was talking about the affairs of Baima County and framing the courtiers, Cai really would not agree with it, and he would directly dismiss it. Otherwise, all the imperial historians who have always heard about it will have to go to prison. At the same time, Cai does also have to show his integrity - anyway, Zheng Xia is good at handing out horses, that is the crime of iron fighting, there is no need to dwell on other things.

It's just that Zheng Xia's attitude makes Cai Cheng very uncomfortable. Wutai is so bad, even the imperial historians are forbidden to laugh and laugh when they eat, and if they commit it, they will be punished. Which official who came to Yushitai was not trembling? Even if someone is as brave as a tiger or a dragon, he will obediently become a cat or a worm within three or five days.

The only one who can hold his head up and stand tall in the land of Taiwan is Yushi! Cai really wanted to knock out the arrogance that the prison officer was showing now: "Zheng Xia." Do you know how the Son of Heaven asked Han Gang how to deal with you the day before yesterday, and how he answered? ”

Zheng Xia sneered: "Traitors will never have good words!" ”

"Han Gang said, 'The imperial court governs the government, and it is not appropriate to scold people with words, and I hope that Your Majesty will rebuke its fallacies and allow them to change their ways.'"

"Acting cowardly, selling a straight name!" Zheng Xia's answer was unceremoniously.

"Han Gang also asked His Majesty to transfer you to the government to mention Yamen or Baima County, he said that he wanted to convince you."

Zheng Xia raised his head higher: "If Zheng Xia wanted to be a high-ranking official, he could have done it a long time ago, why should Han Gang come?" A gentleman and a righteous person, how can he bend his waist in five buckets of rice? ”

It's really hard-mouthed. ’

Cai did smile: "Han Gang said again in the Yanhe Hall the day before yesterday that he had seen water on the stones and dew on the trees in the early morning, which was a sign of rainfall. I want to come to Zheng Xia, you also saw it at the door, right? ”

Zheng Xia finally changed color, a serious and proud face, turned red in an instant, and said angrily: "This is slander!" ”

"Slander?" Cai Quha smiled: "In the past two days, there have been more and more clouds in the sky, and today there is no bright sun, cold wind, maybe it will really rain." ”

When Han Gang's conversation in the Yanhe Hall came out, Cai did know that his in-laws would not be able to get their wish. recruited a good son-in-law, Wang Anshi couldn't get off the stage for a while.

Moreover, Han Gang's methods are clever, Zheng Xia's hand to gamble his life was easily resolved by him, and by the way, he also planted the charge back. Hearing about Han Gang's methods, Cai did regret it a little, what he did in the past was too offended, should he find an opportunity to have a relationship with Han Gang.

Looking down at Zheng Xia, who finally couldn't raise his head proudly, Cai Quzhi sneered proudly. That's enough, this case has not actually been tried, and Zheng Xia is not guilty of not admitting guilt, and the current situation has not yet been clear, and Cai does not have any intention of punishing him severely, at most one Yuanzhou is under management.

A gust of wind with a sense of water swept into the hall, blocking back the words that Cai was about to speak. Then I heard a commotion outside, and I didn't know how many people were shouting and screaming, and the roar was like thunder, and even the Imperial History Tower, which had always been surrounded by a majestic and heavy atmosphere, suddenly boiled.

Cai did look out of the hall suspiciously, not knowing what was wrong. But soon he understood, a curtain of rain had fallen, and it had fallen on the long-dried earth.

Listening to the cheers of the crowd outside and the sound of the rain, Cai Qu clapped his hands lightly and looked at Zheng Xia, who seemed to be happy and worried: "It doesn't rain for ten days, and I beg outside the Xuande Gate." Zheng Xia, you're really right...... As accurate as Han Gang! ”
