[It's a little late, but I still overestimate the speed of my codeword.] The next chapter is tomorrow morning at seven o'clock. 】

When Lu Huiqing returned home, it was late at night.

"I can't imagine that the eldest brother has stayed with the prince for so long." Lu Shengqing came to the study. During the day, he had already gone to Wang Anshi's mansion first, and did not go all the way with his brother.

The younger brother walked into the study, and Lu Huiqing didn't move at all. With half-squinted eyes, he looked thoughtfully at the dancing flames on the candlestick, but the focus of his eyes did not know where it fell, and he did not say a word for a long time.

Lu Shengqing felt that there was something wrong with his brother's expression, pulled over a round stool and sat down, and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Huiqing took a while before raising her eyes and responding: "It's okay!" It's just that after he was stunned for a while, he suddenly said, "Wang Jiefu seems to have the heart to return to the south." ”

Lu Shengqing blinked, and didn't react for a while. When he understood Lu Huiqing's words, he couldn't believe his ears.

"Is it a resignation?" Lu Shengqing's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Wang Anshi wants to resign?!" ”

"Although Wang Jiefu didn't say it explicitly, when he spoke to him just now, he did mean this." Lu Huiqing pursed her mouth, Wang Anshi's depressed and sad look is still in his eyes.

Lu Shengqing shook his head again and again, "Did you misunderstand, big brother, how is this possible?" ”

It's simply impossible! Sitting in the position of prime minister, not because he is no longer trusted by the Son of Heaven, or because he has been impeached, how many people will take the initiative to resign from the prime minister? Wang Anshi is now the prime minister, and no one in the two governments can compare with his authority. The Son of Heaven's trust in him can be seen from the official gift to Wang Yan - from the crown prince Zhongyun posthumously to the doctor Zuo Zhiyi, he was promoted to more than a dozen levels in one go, compared with the officials who were martyred in Yongzhou after receiving the posthumous gift, he jumped more levels - plus the foundation of the new party has been solid, as long as Wang Anshi does not make mistakes, his phase is as stable as Mount Tai.

But Lu Huiqing is very sure of her judgment, "Wang Jiefu is not a person who can't go to the stack." In the year since the reappearance, the Son of Heaven has become more and more self-conscious, and he has no past words and plans. A few days ago, Wang Jiefu sighed, saying that if there is half of the past, it will be good. ”

Lu Huiqing has been by Wang Anshi's side for so many years, and she knows Wang Anshi's character and personality very well. At the beginning, Wang Anshi refused to enter the court because he couldn't show his talents. It was only today that he was willing to come out to serve as an official in the court. If it doesn't go well, Wang Anshi will simply pick a pick. There is no idea of not going to fall in love at all.

"And without Wang Yuanze by his side, Wang Jiefu is also unsustainable."

The pain of losing a child makes it difficult for Wang Anshi to concentrate on political affairs, but more importantly, Wang Anshi now has no reliable and capable assistants around him. At that time, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Dian all had differences with Wang Anshi's goals because of their own reasons. It will no longer be the same as in the early years.

Needless to say, Zeng Bu's betrayal has made Wang Anshi still in the bones.

And Lu Huiqing is unique in the new party, although he did not compete with Wang Anshi's power, but he sat in the position of participating in political affairs, even if it was just for the sake of his own position to be stable, he could not go along with whatever Wang Anshi said, he had to show his ability, ability and vision, and always express his own opinions. In such a situation, Wang Anshi can't treat him as a close assistant as he did in the past.

As for Zhang Dan, he was never Wang Anshi's first choice. Although Wang Anshi attaches great importance to Zhang Dan's talents, he has always regarded him as a trusted cronie. But Zhang was too indulgent as a teenager, and his bad reputation continued to circulate to this time. Lu Huiqing knew that Wang Anshi had never thought of letting Zhang Dian take his place or Zeng Bu's place. Zhang Dian himself also knows this, so he will go to Jingnan and Guangxi, all in order to be able to get out of the Privy Council, and not expect to be like him Lu Huiqing and go directly to the East Mansion.

As for Zeng Xiaokuan's generation, they can all be on their own, and they are talented in all aspects, but they can't control the overall situation, their ability and prestige are not enough, and they are far inferior to Wang Yan in terms of proximity. Lonely and alone, without an assistant to discuss state affairs and political affairs, how can Wang Anshi's heart not be tired, and how can he not retreat?

If Wang Anshi wants to retreat, he can only entrust the new party to himself. Except for him Lu Huiqing, there is no one else!

"Isn't there Han Gang?" Lu Shengqing asked strangely, no matter how you look at it, you can't ignore Wang Anshi's son-in-law, right?

Lu Huiqing's face changed slightly. He really wanted to ignore Han Gang, and he had always subconsciously avoided this name that made him uneasy. But since Lu Shengqing mentioned it, Lu Huiqing will not dodge: "If Han Gang is willing to change his court and give up Guanxue, of course Wang Jiefu will focus on promoting him." ”

Lu Shengqing shook his head, Han Gang is not only adhering to Zhang Zai's guanxue in academics, but also has unique ideas, and has gradually gained the reputation of a generation of grandmasters, how can he change his court? The four words of Gewu Zhizhi are now famous in Shilin, but they are loud and tight.

"He and Wang Jiefu are not of the same mind at all, and they do not wholeheartedly support the new law, Wang Jiefu has not reversed his mind by marrying his daughter to him, can he expect anything else?" Lu Huiqing said with a smile, Wang Anshi would not leave his political legacy to Han Gang, he was very sure of this.

"Even if it's not a heart, it's already a transfer envoy and a straight bachelor. In a few years, I will be able to enter the two mansions. ”

The corners of Lu Huiqing's mouth twitched, perhaps unintentionally, but Lu Shengqing's words did touch his self-esteem.

Lu Huiqing single-mindedly took over the New Party from Wang Anshi. And Han Gang does not need to take over Wang Anshi's power, he has become the current Guangxi transfer envoy, all by relying on his own merits.

When Lu Huiqing was promoted by Wang Anshi, he was already in his thirties, but on the bullet seals that attacked Wang Anshi and him, without exception, they would accuse him of being a newcomer and far from qualified. But Han Gang was twenty-five years old, and when he was promoted to Guangxi as a transit envoy and a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, no official dared to say that he was a newcomer.

Yang Zhimi's high merits made it impossible for the imperial historians to talk about Han Gang's age. Although there can be many ways to make the Son of Heaven jealous of Han Gang's youth in private, those words can't be put on the table.

However, Lu Huiqing still did not change his mind, Han Gang would not follow Wang Anshi, and only himself could take over the new party.

…………………………

The next day, Han Gang was once again recruited into the palace and was asked by the Son of Heaven about the border affairs of Guangxi and the northwest.

It is not surprising that a border minister like him, who entered Beijing, was recruited into the palace many times for consultation during his stay in Beijing.

Han Gang himself also has many suggestions, all of which can be completely explained in just one meeting.

“…… There is also a horse market officially established in Hengshanzhai in the upper reaches of the right river in Yongzhou. In the northern mountains of Jiaozhi, the transportation of grain and straw depends on horses...... "Han Gang said to Zhao Ji his plan, "Before the minister went north, he had already sent people to ask tentatively in Hengshanzhai, and it only took a month to acquire two hundred good horses. If a tea and horse exchange farm is officially opened, at least 3,000 to 5,000 military horses can be purchased in a year. ”

"The matter of the horse market, as Han Qing played, I was approved. When you get back, you'll present the specific note. ”

If 35,000 were war horses, Zhao Ji would jump up excitedly, but judging from Han Gang's description of the Dian horses, they were all pack horses that could only be used to transport goods, and very few could be selected as war horses. Although it is also needed in the army, it is not as good as Tubo horses and Hexi horses after all. Nowadays, there are as many as 20,000 or 30,000 tea and horse trade on Xihe Road a year, and the war horses that can go into battle account for two or three out of ten.

Waiting for Han Gang to salute and thank him, Zhao Ji asked again, "I heard that the land of Jiaozhi is fertile and there is never a shortage of grain, can't you be the enemy because of food?" ”

"The Jiaozhi people are not rich, and now the 36 barbarian tribes have all entered the country of Jiaozhi, and it is already because of the grain to the enemy, and the officials and soldiers will kill it again, and the food will be gone long ago."

In the next few days, Han Gang was recruited into the palace almost every other day, and the news of Guangxi was also transmitted back to the capital one after another, so that Han Gang could also grasp the changes in the situation in Guangxi.

Everything he arranged before going to Beijing has reached the time to reap the fruits.

Han Gang did not count the decapitation merits of the Thirty-six Mountains in the Jiaozhi Kingdom, but if they rescued the Han people who were interned, they would be rewarded handsomely according to their numbers. The head of the enemy army will fake, but the Han people who can speak cannot do it at all, and every one of them is real. And if you want to snatch back the cash cow of working and farming from the hands of the Jiaozhi people, there is only one way to fight with the Jiaozhi people.

Unconsciously, after the rescued Han people quickly reached 2,000 people, it took a little more time to exceed 4,000, and now there are fewer and fewer targets that are easy to rescue, so the number of people is growing more and more slowly, but it has gradually reached 5,000.

The 36 barbarian troops fought with the idea of taking advantage of the weakness, and would never fight hard with the main force of the Jiaozhi army. As soon as it encounters the Cochin army that comes to help, it will immediately retreat. The Jiaozhi army was still in hot pursuit at first, hoping to do it once and for all, but when the most energetic part of the chase fell into the trap arranged in advance, and was swallowed by Li Xin, who had been waiting for a long time. The Jiaozhi army no longer clung to the thirty-six, but just drove away.

In order to resist the infiltration of the 36 barbarian tribes into the country of Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi sent a large number of troops to the north, trying to plug the gap, such a move was fatal to the consumption of its national strength, but they also had to guard against it.

However, it is not all good news, there are still many who are sick, and more than 10% of the sick have been caused, and the only thing to be thankful for is that there are not many soldiers who have died of illness, most of them are recovering-good hygiene habits and strict hygiene regulations, so that the army coming from the south will not be defeated without a fight due to an inexplicable disease - but there are not enough medicinal materials, and they need to be urgently transported.

With the passage of time, the proposal of the two governments on the establishment of the Annan Provincial Economic Strategy and Recruitment Department has finally reached a conclusion.
