Chapter 10 (5)

[A large chapter of 6,000 words, make up for yesterday's share.] 】

After appeasing a few colleagues a little, Jian Zhoufuan sat down peacefully.

Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and the eyes were not instantaneous.

This is what Su Xun said as the way of the general. The so-called 'for the way of the general, should be the first to cure the heart.' Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and did not look instantaneous, and then it could control the interests and harms, and it could treat the enemy'.

Although under the influence of Han Gang and Zhang Tun, the Privy Council and the martial arts made a scorn of Su Xun's scholarly views - the way to be a general is to first calculate in the temple, in the pre-war food, military equipment and training, in knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, in the professional quality of their own affairs, as for the command in the face of war, so that the safety of the three armies depends on the character of one person, this is a situation that should be avoided in military affairs.

But Jian Zhoufu, as the head of everyone, behaved so calmly, as if the three armies had the courage to let the other examiners settle down.

It is likely that he is about to face the furious Han Gang, and Jian Zhoufu is not afraid.

The more antagonistic the New Party and the Korean Party are, the safer he is.

Since he judged Huang Shang to fall off the list, the main reason is because Huang Shang's point of view is qi science rather than new learning, so when Han Gang is criticized for this, Wang Anshi must defend himself.

It's not a matter of personal thought.

In the case of two competing parties, although there is a risk of completely offending the other party, choosing one side will inevitably be most vigorously defended by this side.

As long as Wang Anshi still wants Xinxue to stand in the position of the official school, otherwise as soon as he avoids it, Qixue will take advantage of the situation. If an official like himself who openly adheres to the new school is retaliated against by Han Gang afterwards, how can Wang Anshi maintain the hearts and minds of the new party?

And if Han Gang wants to open his eyes for Huang Shang, how will he face Han Jiang and Zhang Qi? Two other candidates recommended by the Cabinet of Ministers. At the same time, the two people recommended by Wang Anshi and Zhang Dian all failed to make the list, but it was inconvenient to stand by and watch.

The important thing is that Huang Shang has already been deposed in the cabinet exam, and no matter how good the reason is, it is impossible for Han Gang to overturn the conclusions of the examiners. The reason why the Talent Ceremony is valued by the world is precisely because even if you are a Zaifu, it is impossible to interfere with the selected list. If Han Gang starts today, don't talk about the system in the future, the Jinshi department will also become a place for Zai Fu to do what he wants, people of insight, who is not afraid?

Han Gang wants to push Huang Shang up, and if he insists on changing the already determined result, he will definitely provoke public anger. Didn't he want his fame? Even if the Queen Mother will favor Han Gang, it is impossible to do things according to her own preferences.

Jian Zhoufu picked up the pen with a smile, after this cabinet test, he insisted on the new law so clearly, and the day of the judgment was just around the corner, and a tamarin seat was also close at hand - it was about the votes for the election of Zaifu, how could an official with a vague position compare to himself?

"Gentleman, the government hall has sent someone again."

A colleague pushed the door in, his face pale, and the two people who followed behind him were also timid.

"What's the matter?"

Jian Zhoufu put down his pen, and his tone was calm and unwavering.

"It is said that the three ministers in the hall and the political participation invite me to wait for the past, and I will inquire about something."

The leader said, his body trembling slightly. Even though he gambled at Jian Zhoufu's insistence, hoping to seek fame and get the attention of a new party boss, Han Gang's anger came so quickly that it still made him chill.

Jian Zhoufu frowned slightly.

The cabinet examination is over, the results are also submitted, the responsibilities as examiners have been handed over, and their identities have been restored to the ordinary officials in the three pavilionsβ€”the three pavilions composed of the Zhaowen Pavilion, the History Museum, the Jixian Temple, and the Secret Pavilionβ€”and the prime minister, Han Jiang, is the Zhaobunkan University scholar and supervisor of national history.

The top boss invites, past or not?

Jian Zhoufu stood up with an indifferent expression, "Since there are ways to participate in politics and politics, of course I want to go." The two recommended by Han Xianggong and Zhang Senzheng have passed, but fortunately, the person recommended by Han Senzheng has not passed, otherwise he would really avoid suspicion. ”

Jian Zhoufu's words made the other three immediately settle down. That's right, with Han Jiang and Zhang Qi here, how can Han Gang question his judgment on the answers to the exam questions? Let the two recommended by Han Jiang and Zhang Qi pass the exam precisely to face the current situation.

Jian Zhoufu laughed, he was about to make a big deal about this matter, so that Wang Anshi had to come forward. The invitation from the political hall can be said to have picked up the pillow when he was sleepy, and he looked left and right, "It's not Longtan Tiger's Den, what's there to be afraid of?" And this matter, which side is in charge, does it need to be said? ”

Then he moved. My own family is a lot older, don't fight at this time, but when?

The eldest husband can't eat five tripods in life, and he should cook five tripods when he dies.

The day is twilight, so why care about the future.

……………………

A moment later, Jian Zhoufu and the other three examiners were ushered into the main hall of the political affairs hall.

In the hall, Prime Minister Han Jiang was in the middle, and Han Gang and Zhang Qi, who participated in politics, were divided into left and right, as if they were tried. But seeing the expressions of the three people, he knew who was the chief judge of the three-hall trial.

However, seeing that Han Jiang and Zhang Qi were there, Jian Zhou Fu was relieved when he was on the board.

If Han Gang wants to change the result, he can only go to the Queen Mother. With the support of the Queen Mother, he can get the yellow clothes back.

Han Jiang and Zhang Qi are all here now, how can he make himself succumb? The two people they recommended had passed the cabinet exam, and Han Gang wanted to let himself go, how could they tolerate it?

"The history museum is revised and Jian Zhoufu visits Han Xianggong, Zhang participates in politics, and Han participates in politics." Jian Zhoufu and three colleagues saluted Han Jiang, Zhang Qi, and Han Gang one by one.

After the three Zaifu returned the salute, Jian Zhoufu was neither humble nor arrogant, "I don't know that the prime minister and the political participation recruited me to come here, but I have something to order." ”

"I want to ask about the cabinet examination of the current department." Han Jiang said.

Jian Zhoufu bowed: "Please inquire." ”

Han Jiang didn't ask a question, turned his head to Han Gang and said, "Yukun." ”

Han Gang nodded, turned around and stared at the four of them: "In today's science and technology cabinet exam, I have read the exam questions you have come up with, and I have seen Zihua Xianggong and Di Ming's participation in politics." The six questions are from the Book of Tang, the Book of Tang, the Book of Jin, the Book of Mozi, the Commentary on the Legend of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period and the New Righteousness of Zhou Guan, and the titles are not bad......"

Jian Zhoufu immediately bowed: "Thank you for your political compliment." ”

Han Gangha laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and after a few sounds, his smile suddenly fell, "There is just a problem...... May I ask where are the exam questions for the military strategy and the far-reaching material Ren Bian Ji? ! ”

When Fang Gang heard Han Gang's question in the political hall, Han Jiang and Zhang Qi's first reaction was what nonsense he was talking about. But immediately, they understood Han Gang's intentions.

It is not aimed at the judgment of the examiners of the Secret Pavilion of the Third Hall on the Huangshang test paper, but directly questioning the mistakes they made at the stage of questioning.

In fact, there is no standard for the quality of the article.

No matter how well you write, there are critics, and no matter how bad you write, you don't necessarily have no appreciators.

Different perspectives, different opinions, different positions, different knowledge, different experiences, of course, the evaluation of the article will not be the same.

is a classic of "Spring and Autumn", but there are also those who regard it as a broken newspaper; With the subtlety of the "Book of Han", it is also said that it is 'the festival of death, whether it is upright'.

The so-called article has no first, which is exactly this truth.

If Han Gang is going to compete for the superiority of Huang Shang's article, he must not compare the articles of the three people who have already passed. When it comes to arguing with the palace, the queen mother will most likely favor Han Gang, but in this case, where are the three people who have passed the real estate? The two recommended by Han Jiang and Zhang Qi are among those who have passed.

But it was precisely because Han Gang changed to question the exam questions that the two did not argue with Han Gang in the political hall, but chose to stand aside and see what Han Gang planned to do next.

Hearing Han Gang's questioning, the smile on Zhou Fu's face and the ease in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his heart of fear rose: "Why did Zhou Fu say this if he didn't know how to participate in politics?" ”

"Don't understand? Then let me ask a little more clearly. Huang Sheng is taking the test this time, which subject is under the system subject? Is it virtuous and honest who can speak outright, and is both talented and knowledgeable in the physical department? Or is it a military strategy and a far-sighted material? Looking at the exam questions given by everyone, the questions are all the same, but I can't see the difference between these three subjects? ”

Jian Zhoufu's mind was clouded, and his heart tightened suddenly, no wonder Han Gang would let Han Jiang and Zhang Qi here, just because they had no fear.

"In the past, the imperial court has never opened a military strategy and a far-reaching material to serve as a border department, but now it has opened a department to test people and follow the old rules of the department. He once taught people such as virtuous and good Fangzheng can speak outright, and he is both talented and bright in physical use, as well as different subjects such as Mao materials, and the pavilion test is average, and it is no different. ”

"Yes, that's right." Han Gang nodded, "The military strategy is far-sighted, and he has never opened a department in the past, and Huang Shang is the first person." ”

In the past, no one participated in the military planning and far-reaching material Ren Bian Ji department, and naturally it has never been opened for this purpose.

Although the system is called ten branches, since the founding of the country, there are only three of them that have really opened up the department, and the military strategy is not among them.

And whether it is virtuous and good can speak outright, or talent and knowledge in the body, or Mao Cai is different, etc., the first thing to pay attention to is the candidate's knowledge, virtuous, talent, and Mao Cai, all of which are related to talent, that is, the understanding of the scriptures, and the military strategy is completely irrelevant to the scriptures.

"But the difference between them should be understood by the people in the Secret Pavilion of the Three Pavilions. This year is the year of Dabi, after entering the Shike, it is the Ming Law Branch, and there is a special name after the Ming Law Branch. Asked about political affairs in the Ming Law exam, six treatises in the special famous test, and how to judge the acceptance of stolen goods in the Ministry of Rites exam, has the examiner ever done wrong? ”

Jian Zhoufu said awe-inspiringly: "The special performance is the first, but it is the captain of the judge, and he is from the Ming Law Department, and he is only with the criminal law officer. The two are born and can only rise step by step, while the Jinshi is born and can be promoted from step to step, how can the three be compared? Only the ten subjects of the system, no matter which subject, are comparable to the top of the system, and they should be treated equally. ”

"Do you think we can be deceived?" Han Gang raised his eyebrows, "I'm talking about things, but I'm talking about grinding." What the military strategy is far-sighted and wants to take is the marshal minister who can lead the army to suppress the border land, rather than the Confucian, the counselor, and the minister, what does this have to do with the treatment of the imperial court? ”

"Lack of knowledge, Enke entered the system, not to mention that Huang Sheng tried repeatedly, and luckily got the Jinshi background." An examiner beside Jian Zhoufu said in a loud voice.

Since entering the hall, he has been repeatedly reprimanded by Han Gang, even if he is afraid of Han Gang's power, he can't help it.

"You're Jixian School Manager Zhao Yanruo, right?" Han Gang glanced at him, he was also fifty years old, and Ha Luha sneered: "Zhao Xiaoli said this is interesting. You have forgotten that the Jian Xiu next to you is named Zhou Fu, and the word is η£»Weng, which is derived from Jiang Taigong who fishes on the bank of the Gang River. ”

Jian Zhoufu's face was flushed. Playing with people's names is the worst. Unless it is a very close friend, such a thing is an insult.

Han Gang snorted coldly and stared at Zhao Yanruo, who was much older than him: "Lu Shang [Jiang Taigong] is both civil and military, how about letting him take the exam?" The ancient and modern famous generals enshrined in the martial temple, starting from the chief priest Lu Shang and Zhang Liang, all the way down, the main hall ten philosophers, two enshrined [Note 1], a total of seventy-two people, let them go to the test of the scriptures, test today's questions, if there is one that can be tested, just wait for one to come out. ”

Zhao Yanruo immediately retorted: "Dare to ask about participating in politics, Huang Shang is among the military ministers?" Will it be converted into military capital after winning the championship? ”

"I don't know what the official position was when Zhuge Liang led the Northern Expedition?"

"Participated in politics and forgot what a military general is!?"

"If you forget, how can you ask? Until the Tang Dynasty, scholars and generals were also idle, and they were attentive to the way of civil and military affairs, so how could they have paid attention to the chapters and sentences? ”

"Han participates in politics." Jian Zhoufu shouted loudly again, "Huang Sheng and the rest of the people are the same as the subject, how can the exam questions be different?" Although the subjects are different from others, the difference is also in the imperial examination. Zhou Fu has the Empress Dowager's edict as the main examination, although the position is humble, the evaluation of each person's superiority is also a micro-minister's position, even if the powerful ministers interfere, Zhou Fu did not dare to live up to the trust of the Empress Dowager. Zhou Fu had already presented the results to the Queen Mother, and if there were any objections to the judgment of the four of us, he could talk to the Queen Mother. ”

Can't stay any longer. Jian Zhou Fuxin said.

Debating with Han Gang is enough to make this matter public, and arguing with Han Gang here, although it can arouse the meaning of the same hatred, but after a long time, seeing that Han Jiang and Zhang Qi are helpless, they are all on Han Gang's side, and some of the other three will soften their feet.

"Han Xianggong, Zhang participates in politics, Han participates in politics, and I forgive you for official business and can't stay for a long time. If there is no more orders, Zhou Fu will retire. ”

"Yukun?" Han Jiang, who had been a supporting actor for half a day, looked at Han Gang, "But I understand." ”

"Everything is clear, and today we can see why so many wise men are far away from the court." Han Gang shook his head and waved his hand at Zhou Fu and the others: "Wait a minute." ”

Jian Zhoufu bowed and retreated with the other three.

As soon as I went out, a smile came to me. This matter got a big deal as he wished.

Even if Han Gang can let Han Jiang and Zhang Qi stand by and watch, if Han Gang goes to the Queen Mother for the dethronement of Huang Shang, Wang Anshi will come to help.

The candidates recommended by Wang Anshi and Zhang Dian were all deposed, so that Wang Anshi and Zhang Dian were protected from favoritism and ridicule, and they could better reflect their public intentions, which was just a comparison with Han Gang, who was troubled by this.

He has already charged forward for Xinxue, and there is no need for the opposite coach to deal with himself as a pioneer.

"Yukun."

After Jian Zhou Fu and the four of them retreated, Zhang Qi looked back at Han Gang.

Han Jiang and Zhang Qi didn't understand Han Gang's approach very well, and what could they do by scolding people for a while? It is only right to go directly to the Queen Mother.

"Yukun, what you just said is indeed reasonable, but what Jian Zhoufu said after the most is not without reason. Yukun, think about it, the selection of scholars in the imperial court is first and foremost in fairness. Huang Shangcheng is a virtuous talent, but since his ranking has been decided, how can he change it lightly? If the Queen Mother gives Huang Shang another chance to go to the palace, the world doesn't know the reason, how can they not suspect Yukun that you are bullying people after hearing about it? In other words, Yukun is in the secret pavilion of the third hall, and you are appointed to be the chief examiner of this pavilion exam, how should you come up with the exam questions? ”

Zhang Qi persuaded Han Gang with kind words.

In other words, Zhang Qi himself is in the position of the secret pavilion of the third hall, and he will also have a headache because of this, and he can't give Huang Sheng a separate exam paper.

Depending on the topic, the level of difficulty should be different. Even if the person who wrote the question himself seems to have done a fair enough, he will never think so in the eyes of others.

As long as someone fails to pass, and the candidate who is different from his subject passes, he will definitely question that the questions over there are easy, but the questions for himself are difficult. Especially for a candidate like Huang Shang who is on the cusp of the storm, he is the only one who is recommended for the subjects he participates in, as long as he passes, the examiners of Chongwen Academy will definitely be swallowed up by a wave of doubts.

If Huang Sheng didn't pass, and someone else did, they would be replaced by Huang Shang - more importantly Han Gang behind him - to wonder if the examiner wanted to deliberately depose Huang Shang.

It's a dilemma.

Rather than being in that situation, it is better to treat everyone equally and have everyone do the same questions.

Zhang Qi's statement is human nature, and in the case of imperfection, the fairest way on the surface is the best way to reduce discussion.

"Is the place where the imperial court is storing talents, but is it a group of silverfish who are timid and unwilling to do their duty?" Han Gang was cold, of course he understood what Zhang Qi said, and the debate between the national paper and the provincial examination in later generations never stopped, but now how could he let Jian Zhoufu's selfishness succeed, "Such a silverfish who only knows self-perfection and dare not do anything, dare to judge who is virtuous and can speak out?!" ”

Speaking of which, after some conversation with Fang Cai, Han Gang had already determined that it was Jian Zhoufu and the examiners who deliberately brushed off the yellow clothes. With Jian Zhoufu's seniority, he only lacks a chance to become an important minister now, and it is useless to help Huang Shang, but in a different direction, Wang Anshi will have to stand up for him.

Han Gang was so firm that Han Jiang and Zhang Qi had no room for persuasion. However, he is not asking too much nonsense, Han Gang's attitude must be confirmed.

Zhang Qi sighed softly, "Since Yukun has made up his mind, Zhang Qi doesn't have much to say." Speaking of which, Huang Shang is indeed a talent, if it can't be used in the right place, it is indeed a waste. ”

"If the jade is not cut, it will not be made. Yukun, although you are rarely talented, you have also become a great tool after several hardships. There are a lot of twists and turns in the yellow dress, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Meng Ke's words, presumably Yukun, you also know it. ”

"Xianggong's kindness, Han Gang understands. However, Huang Shang was dethroned this time, but the reason for this was that he was dragged down by Han Gang. Han Gang got up and said to Han Jiang and Zhang Qi: "Han Gang has something to go out, so he has to take the first step." ”

"Yukun, where are you going?" Han Jiang stopped Han Gang.

"Han Gang is going to ask to see the Queen Mother." Han Gang did not hide his whereabouts at all, "There are still a few things about Daizhou that need to be told to the Queen Mother." ”

Zhang Qi, the governor of Daizhou, was Han Gang's assistant when he was the envoy of Hedong before he took office, and the military and political arrangements in Daizhou were all arranged by Han Gang before he left office. Not only Daizhou, but also the military and political affairs of the entire counties and counties in the northeast of Hedong are all within the jurisdiction of Hangang, and their words can be decided.

But Han Gang is now going to see the Queen Mother, how can it be for the sake of Daizhou, at least not only because of Daizhou.

"Yukun, it's better to be careful." Han Jiang reminded earnestly: "As you said before, Jian Zhoufu deliberately dethroned the yellow clothes, how could he not have other preparations? ”

"Don't worry, you won't let the villain be proud."

After Han Gang finished speaking, he nodded at Zhang Qi, and then hurriedly left the political hall.

Seeing Han Gang's back leave, Han Jiang and Zhang Qi glanced at each other, shook their heads and sighed together.

In the past, the confrontation between the New Party and the Korean Party was only a turbulent undercurrent, but it was slightly highlighted during the election. But this time, Han Gang went to see the Queen Mother for the dethronement of Huang Shang, but he personally opened the curtain of party struggle.

Since then, the court has had many events.

……………………

In front of the Chongzheng Palace, Wang Anshi hurriedly walked in a hurry.

Although he was not arranged to be in the pair, seeing Wang Anshi's gloomy face like the bottom of a pot, who would dare to stop him from the inner guards and guards along the way? can only divide the manpower one after another to report to the queen mother of the Chongzheng Palace.

It wasn't until he was almost at the gate of the hall that an attendant stopped Wang Anshi, and Yang Jian opened his arms and stopped in front of Wang Anshi: "Pingzhang, Pingzhang, please stop, please stop." ”

Wang Anshi's eyes widened, "Yang Jian, you dare to stop me?!" ”

Ji Nian Zaifu, the patriarch of the dynasty, was so angry that he scared all the guards behind Yang Jian to both sides.

Yang Jian didn't dodge, but the whole person stiffened with fright.

Wang Anshi glanced at him coldly, and wanted to bypass his side.

Yang Jian finally recovered from his stiffness, and knelt down with a poof, but his hand stretched out to the side, grabbed the sleeve corner of Wang Anshi's official robe and refused to let go, and shouted loudly: "The villain does not dare to stop Pingzhang from reporting state affairs, and the Queen Mother will not refuse to see the Queen Mother, but this is the villain's position after all, please wait for Pingzhang, someone will come to invite Pingzhang to enter soon." ”

Wang Anshi flicked his long sleeves and shouted: "Let go!" ”

Yang Jian was almost paralyzed, this was a major military matter for Pingzhang who had just led the rebellion, even if he didn't care about it, but who in the palace was not afraid of him. But Yang Jian's right hand didn't dare to let go.

A small yellow door hurried out of the hall and shouted: "The Queen Mother has a decree, Xuanping Zhang will meet you." ”

Yang Jian finally let go, but he didn't get up, he kowtowed on the ground like pounding garlic, and said that the death penalty was not stopped.

Wang Anshi didn't bother to pay attention to him, tidied up the robe that had been pulled off, and then approached the Chongzheng Palace.

Ignoring Han Gang, who was also in the hall, Wang Anshi saluted to the Queen Mother behind the screen.

After Wang Anshi saluted, the Queen Mother immediately asked: "Pingzhang asks to see, but what is the urgency?" ”

Even though his son-in-law was in the palace, Wang Anshi didn't even glance at him, "Queen Mother, the minister came for the pavilion." The candidates for the imperial examination have been decided, so how can they be changed. Huang Shang was deposed because of his poor learning. Jian Zhou Fuzhi Pavilion test, meritorious and innocent! ”

The voice from behind the screen was full of surprise: "What is Pingzhang talking about? ”
