[I was surprised to find that Brother Chenyan, the leader of the alliance, had become a golden alliance. It was really a surprise before the Chinese New Year. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, add a more change, talk about the heart. 】

I only heard that the country lacked talents, but I did not hear that the court lacked officials.

Han Gang's words are harsh, but they have their own reasons.

"Redundant officials, redundant soldiers, redundant expenses, the trouble of redundancy, has been said since the time of Renzong, but it has not been solved so far. Especially redundant officials, although they are stupid and despiseful, they move every three years, and those who sit in the Qing Chenglang are all over the years. Chongwen Academy was originally a place to be virtuous, a place for the Son of Heaven to store talents, but now the sages are not allowed to do their job, and the foolish and stubborn people are full of them. ”

"Jian Zhoufu is an official, and he has made many achievements. The first emperor also praised him as 'shrewd and can be a matter of things'. ”

"It's just a case for Li Fenger."

Han Gang was dismissive. Wang Anshi was almost involved in this case because of Li Shining's fake Taoist priest, but now he is using this case to show his eyes for Jian Zhoufu.

He glanced at the screen, and he believed that the Empress Dowager Xiang would not fail to remember the far-fetched case of the rebellion of the grandsons of the Taizu who had boiled the government and the opposition two years ago. But he looked at Wang Anshi again, but Lao Taishan was stunned, should he only know the evaluation of Lu Dao, but he didn't know the reason for it? However, based on the status gap between Jian Zhoufu and Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi can remember this person, which is estimated to be a sentence or two of evaluation, and a few examples. In terms of details, it is impossible to compare with the prepared self.

"Zhao Shiju and Li Feng are all powerless, even if they have the intention to rebel, they can be captured alive by three or five servants. The first emperor just knew that he was suffering within the Xiao Wall, but he had concerns and couldn't attack, so he could only use Zhao Shiju and Li Feng to deter the thieves' bad intentions. ”

Needless to say, who Han Gang refers to in his words. In fact, Zhao Shiju and Li Feng conspired against the case back then, but some of Li Feng's words poked at Zhao Feng's sore spot, and the Son of Heaven was annoyed and angry, so he did a big deal. But now it just happens to be able to echo back and forth, but it makes sense.

Xiang was deeply touched by the Empress Dowager, nodded and said, "Participating in politics is true." ”

Although her husband did not know what reason he was killing at the beginning, the Queen Mother Xiang did not know. But she still remembers that for a while, and for a period of time afterward, the wives and daughters of the clan who entered the palace were all much more restrained, and those who could tell a few jokes on weekdays were silent, lest they make mistakes. The case of Zhao Shiju and Li Feng does have the effect of deterring the clan.

Han Gang then continued: "And Jian Zhoufu was ordered to decide the case, but it was only in the hope that he would agree, so there would be the words 'shrewd can be a matter' afterwards." Is this generation encore? ”

Wang Anshi was silent for a while, allowing Han Gang to confirm his guess. Wang Anshi may know Jian Zhoufu, but he doesn't know why Jian Zhoufu got this evaluation in the first place - Wang Anshi at that time, Han Gang remembered that he was still in Jinling.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Jian Zhoufu is just old and anxious to sell himself, Wang Anshi hurried over after hearing the words for the sake of the party, how can he compare with himself who is prepared?

"What's more, how can Huang Shang's meritorious achievements in Hedong be compared to Jian Zhoufu? Could it be that the first emperor casually praised the people who greeted him, which was not comparable to his real military exploits? Han Gang asked a few rhetorical questions, and then shouted 'ah', "By the way, Jian Zhoufu also recruited Liao En." In the past, Liao En led dozens of thieves to trouble Fujian, and the prefectures and counties could not be controlled, so Jian Zhoufu was appointed as the deputy envoy of Fujian and came forward to recruit Liao En. ”

Han Gang said as he stared at Wang Anshi's reaction from the corner of his eye. However, distraction is distraction, but the speed of spitting words on his lips is not slow at all, and he does not refute Wang Anshi's interface.

But Liao En's surrender was because he heard that Wang Zhongzheng had led his troops south, and he was afraid of the prestige of his generals, so as soon as Wang Zhongzheng led the heavenly soldiers to arrive, he immediately took the surrender document issued by Jian Zhoufu to surrender. Jian Zhoufu can incur his submission, but he is just a fox and a fake tiger. Imagine that Zhou Fu is just a scribe, he has no prestige, and he has no military merits, how can he make the giants who disturb the road frightened? It's not because Liao En is afraid that Wang Zhongzheng, who has just leveled Maozhou, and accepts it if he wants to see it, if Jian Zhoufu is really talented, why not get rid of this fang for the people, but recruit people? Nowadays, Fujian is singing, to be an official, to kill people and set fire to be recruited, so that thieves are not afraid of the king's law, it is caused by Jian Zhoufu! And the southern soldiers were not accustomed to war, so Liao En was able to succeed, and in the north, the county lieutenant led a dozen or twenty native soldiers to capture him alive. Dozens of bandits are in trouble, compared to the army of northern captives who entered the east of the Kou River? ”

Han Gang's words were like a series of cannons, and Wang Anshi almost made him dizzy with anger.

Wang Anshi glared at his son-in-law, not saying that he didn't know about Liao En, but he knew that no matter how confused he was, he would not compare the southern bandits with the Liao army. But this good son-in-law planted these words on his head, sentence after sentence, without giving the slightest chance to interject, until the bucket of dirty water was splashed, and then stopped.

Wang Anshi suppressed the anger in his heart with a deep breath, and retorted in a cold voice: "In terms of merit, Huang Shang is external, Jian Zhoufu is inside, although there is a difference between inside and outside, they both serve the Son of Heaven, and they each do their best, how to distinguish between the superior and the inferior?" In terms of deeds, Huang Shang is the labor of assistance, but Jian Zhoufu is the work of the sole responsibility, how can Huang Shang be said to be above Jian Zhoufu? What's more, what are you talking about today? Can you pass the system, and if you are judged by merit, why do you need to take the exam? Huang Shang's past merits, is there no reward from the imperial court? ”

If it was in front of the first emperor Zhao Xu, who had a certain level of talent, Wang Anshi could completely quote the scriptures, and this was how he persuaded Zhao Ji with his familiarity with the scriptures and history. But in the face of Han Gang and the Queen Mother, especially the Queen Mother, some methods of quoting scriptures and classics are completely useless. Empress Dowager Xiang's level is only a little better than that of ordinary women, and Han Gang's debates with others are even more factual - in fact, from this point, it can be seen that Han Gang's attitude towards the classics is disdainful.

However, Wang Anshi will also learn, and he will not give Han Gang a chance to refute, "Huang Shang's merits have been rewarded by the imperial court." Huang Shang's talent was also recognized by the imperial court. He has only been in office for three years and has been Dr. Taichang, is it by grinding? His Jinshi background, which subject did he get out of? The court and the queen mother treat Huang Shang well, but now because of the merits that have been rewarded, do you want to give him another background? Huang Sheng is taking the exam, and Jian Zhoufu is the examiner, how to judge, Jian Zhoufu has the final say. The results of the Ministry of Rites Examination are even the Son of Heaven, and they cannot be changed, and the results of the cabinet examination, whether they are participating in political affairs or the military state of Pingzhang, cannot be changed. Jian Zhoufu is doing his duty, and there is no fault! ”

After saying it in one breath, Wang Anshi had already begun to gasp, his age was there, and he was far less powerful than Han Gang.

Seeing that Wang Anshi couldn't catch it in one breath, Han Gang naturally took it: "Fang Caichen also said that this matter can only be wrong." Even if Huang Sheng was wronged, in this matter, he must also maintain the prestige of the imperial court. This is the minister's opinion, presumably Huang Sheng can also understand. If Wang Pingzhang forgets ......" Han Gang turned to face Wang Anshi, "Then Han Gang can reiterate again, it is a matter of the prestige of the imperial court, and the dethronement of Huang Shang cannot be changed!" ”

Han Gang repeated his point again, not for the sake of Huang Shang's dethronement, but for the mistakes in the exam questions. This makes the Empress Dowager Xiang look at it in her eyes, no matter how you look at it, it is stronger than Wang Anshi's single-minded attitude of favoring Zhou Fu.

"But Jian Zhoufu and others are ignorant and use the wrong exam questions in the system, shouldn't they be asked?" Han Gang bit at Jian Zhoufu, "If you want to say that only by passing the cabinet test can you be regarded as a military strategist, and the minister has nothing to say." But the minister can clearly say that the ministers can only make half of the questions that Jian Zhoufu came up with, and he will definitely not be able to pass the cabinet exam. If Jian Zhoufu is right, then the minister is short-sighted and unbearable? Does the minister have to return all the gifts he has received over the years? ”

"The gift comes because of merit, and it doesn't look at the background!" Wang Anshi snorted coldly, "Han Gang, you are a governor of political affairs, how can you treat the imperial court gift as child's play?" It is necessary to know that the system is a large department, and the treatment is still above the jinshi. If you want to get a degree in the system, how can you not pass a more rigorous exam? Huang Shang wants to be a border minister simply, and he doesn't need a background in the department, he has been given the Jinshi background by the Queen Mother, and he is already a doctor of Taichang, so he can go to the border county to be the governor of the county. ”

"Pingzhang is mistaken, Huang Shang's exam is not rigorous, but wrong." Han Gang didn't pay attention to Wang Anshi's question at all, and grasped one of the points to answer, "With the six questions made by Jian Zhoufu, you can find a border minister." Why did the imperial court take separate exams for Jinshi and Mingfa? Isn't it because the requirements for courtiers are different, and the topics must be different? ”

"Ming Fake was born, and he is far lower than Jinshi in terms of use. And the treatment given by the imperial court to the military and the far-reaching material is lower than that of the virtuous and good Fangzheng, who can speak outright, and the talent and knowledge are both good and practical? ”

"Since the questions of the cabinet examination are the same, why should the system be divided into ten subjects, why not one subject?"

"It's just to brush away the lack of talent and indiscriminate people. When it comes to the imperial examination, it will be divided into subjects. Just like the Ministry of Etiquette exam, it is also a person who lacks talent. If Huang Shang is excellent in talent and learning, he will not be unsuccessful. ”

"Han Gang remembers that Jian Zhoufu was also tired of failing to get into the school, but he stayed up and entered the Chongwen Academy." Han Gang stabbed Wang Anshi, and said, "I don't know what talent is in Pingzhang's opinion?" Ming Jingyi? Or can it be governed? For example, Zeng Xiaokuan and Lu Jia asked, when did they ever win the Jinshi? And the four examiners in the cabinet examination are not all from Jinshi, Zhao Yanruo is the shadow supplement. Dare to ask what their talents are? ”

Zhao Yanruo is famous for the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also elected to the Secret Pavilion of the Third Pavilion because of this, but he is indeed not a Jinshi, but a shadow supplement. Zeng Xiaokuan and Lu Jiawen needless to say.

Wang Anshi's eyes were like a river counting nine cold days, and it was also cold under the frozen ice, Han Gang was really preparing for these examiners. Jian Zhoufu, Zhao Yanruo, their details Han Gang is clear. Wang Anshi didn't understand, but Han Gang knew it well, except that he had premeditated, where was there any other explanation.
