Wang Anshi is preparing to arrange for the ballot papers to be distributed.

He has already taken up the important affairs of the military state in Pingzhang, so he has the responsibility to preside over the promotion of the palace.

Since there is no precedent for the election, the only thing that can be used as a reference is the election of the heads of the two major leagues.

In order to prevent the elector who expressed his or her position first from influencing the judgment of others during the election, he or she must fill in the ballot ballot, and it cannot be anonymous, and his name must be written. The ballot paper is an excerpt similar to Zhang Shu. If you change the way of writing, plus the reason, it is almost the same as the recommended movement.

However, in Wang Anshi's heart, no matter how similar it is to the recommendation, it can't change that this is a farce that has no precedent and imitates a club that imitates a folk gambling competition to decide the candidate for Zaifu. No matter how many of the core members of the New Party are excited about this incident, they are running around, but Wang Anshi still seems to be a farce.

It's just that he can't object.

Changing the law is Wang Anshi's lifelong proposition, and it is impossible for him to say that the law of his ancestors is immutable to oppose Han Gang's proposal. Even if there is a way to reject Han Gang's proposal, the Empress Dowager will definitely have to ask Han Gang's opinion, and she can't jump out and recommend Zai Fu herself? The lesser of two evils can only be relied upon by Han Gang.

And even Wang Anshi doesn't want to offend the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Those are the backbone of the court, and the strength of the collection is all necessary. But it would be too difficult to expect his current expression to soften a little.

When Wang Anshi stood on the Wende Palace, he only planned to end the election a little earlier and return to everyone. It's a pity that his wish, at the beginning, was broken. Especially when he stood up, it was one of the few people he hated the most, which made Wang Anshi feel even worse, and even screamed.

"Shen Kuo?!"

Wang Anshi's voice was full of anger and hatred, Shen Kuo heard the voice, his body trembled, and his face turned white in an instant, but he still insisted on standing in the center of the hall.

"Minister......

"If Shen Qing has something to do, it's not too late to wait for the promotion!"

Listening to the Queen Mother's tone, she obviously didn't like Shen Kuo either. As soon as Shen Kuo opened his mouth to speak, he immediately interrupted and blocked his mouth.

Shen Kuo's face turned pale, and he almost couldn't stand firm.

His betrayal of Han Gang has long been no secret in the court.

In order to recommend him, Han Gang had a bad relationship with Lu Jiawen and Li Ding and other core members of the New Party. It is even rumored that the reason why Wang Anshi and Zhang Dian have gradually distanced themselves from Han Gang during this period of time, so that they did not maintain neutrality in this election, is also because Han Gang valued Shen Kuo and suppressed Lu Jiawen and Li Ding.

But as soon as he heard that he could have the opportunity to enter the two provinces, he immediately left Han Gang behind and turned his head to flatter the new party.

Many people are happy to see Han Gang's jokes, but the Queen Mother, who believes in Han Gang the most, seems to be not so happy.

"If it's something else, of course the minister can nominate him and then talk about it, but only this one can't!" Shen Kuo's pale face was a little more firm, "Minister Shen Kuo dares to ask Your Majesty, the traitor An Ke is Zaifu?!" ”

There was no sound behind the curtain, and the angry look on Wang Anshi's face was gone, replaced by deep doubts. And Lu Jiawen, Li Ding and others were also wide-eyed in shock.

However, they didn't look at Shen Kuo next, but went to see Han Gang.

It's a pity that on Han Gang's face, people can't see any change in expression.

Is this Shen Kuo's arbitrariness? Or is it Han Gang's plan?

No one would have thought that Han Gang would use such a desperate trick beforehand.

Although splashing the opponent with dirty water is the easiest way to deal with political opponents. This is also the most common method in officialdom. But because Han Gang wants to promote qi, he values his reputation more than his official position. Even Lu Jiawen, Li Ding and the others never thought that Han Gang would instruct Shen Kuo to rush to pull down the most threatening opponent with the suspicion of rebellion before the promotion.

Although they were political enemies of each other, Lu Jiawen and Li Ding still believed in Han Gang's character and would not do so.

"Chen Shen Kuo was ordered to interrogate Zhao Hao and Cai Cheng for a rebellion."

Shen Kuo spoke again, his eyes brightened, and there was a trace of blood on his pale face.

"Recently, the letters hidden in the homes of accomplices and Cai Jing were searched, and many of them were treacherous and suspicious. Hundreds of officials were involved, both inside and outside Beijing. ”

Shen Kuo's tone didn't change, but the hall seemed to be much colder.

100 Plans!

This vague number made Lu Jia's heart sink when he asked, if it wasn't for Han Gang's mastermind, where would Shen Kuo have such courage? This is clearly an intention to build a prison.

"The minister has to issue an edict from His Majesty, and anyone who is involved in rebellion can go to Kaifeng Mansion for questioning."

Shen Kuo's voice became louder.

His words are speechless. This is bound to be written in the edict, but there is no clear intention behind the edict, but the people who presided over the counterinsurgency at that time planned to calm things down.

At the beginning, the Zai Fu were able to agree to delegate this case to Kaifeng Mansion, one was because Shen Kuo himself had a problem with his personality, and he was cowardly and timid, and the other was Han Gang, who was behind Shen Kuo, who made his attitude clear from the beginning and resolutely opposed the investigation of the big rebellion case, and the main culprits like Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang had to spare their lives.

These two reasons made everyone in the court feel at ease that they would not be arrested and tortured in prison for handing over a famous post from Zaisuke's family or a letter with a rebellious henchman.

But no one could have imagined that Shen Kuo would seem to have become a different person.

Who exactly is behind him?

"What did the Qing family find?"

Although he doesn't have a good impression of Shen Kuo, the case that Shen Kuo is reviewing has always been on the heart of the Empress Dowager Xiang.

Han Gang and Zai Fu have been persuading the Empress Dowager Xiang not to investigate any more, and she did listen to it, but when Shen Kuo mentioned it in the palace now, the idea of being suppressed came up again.

Shen Kuo took out a piece of music from his sleeve and raised his hands to his head, "Today is the day to elect Zaifu, those who can be elected are officials of two systems or above, and those who have the qualifications for promotion are officials above the service system." However, among them, Lu Jiawen, Zeng Xiaokuan, Pu Zongmeng, Huang Lu and others had dealings with Cai Qu's henchmen such as Xing Shu and Cai Jing, and their suspicions must be investigated. If it is found that this cadre is involved in great rebellion after the election, but he is elected to the two governments, he will laugh at the government and the opposition and foreign countries. ”

Shen Kuo didn't say what to do, but everyone knew Shen Kuo's thoughts.

The suspects have neither the right to vote nor the right to be elected, and this group of people, whether it is Shen Kuo or Han Gang, does not have to worry about the ranking.

…………………………

Zhang Qi was sighing in his heart.

This election was really a surprise.

When it should be ruthless, he will be ruthless, this Shen Kuo has been confused for many years, and this time he has become smarter. The final decision is in the hands of the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother feels comfortable, maybe she will be able to enter the two mansions after turning her head.

In addition, if Shen Kuo followed Han Gang's orders to attack the opponent, it can be seen that Han Gang no longer has the confidence to fight Lu Jiawen, Li Ding and others head-on, and has to use some tricks that cannot be put on the table.

In other words, when Han Gang proposed in front of the Queen Mother, he himself was just trying to find a solution to the problem and push away the right to recommend the personnel of the two governments that the Queen Mother planned to give him.

If Shen Kuo didn't follow Han Gang's assignment, but did it himself, then the situation would be even more interesting.

Han Gang is about to face the impeachment and contempt of the courtiers, and his reputation will also plummet in the court.

In this way, how long can Qi science go?

…………………………

No Li Ding!

Zhang Dian turned his head to look at Zhongcheng in the imperial history, not suspecting that Li Ding was secretly communicating with Shen Kuo and even Han Gang, but he sighed at the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history.

It seems that Shen Kuo is also worried that Yu Shi Zhongcheng holds his handle in his hand. If Li Ding is turned out in the hall, Shen Kuo's face will be ugly. With the resources in Li Ding's hands, as long as he wants to prepare one or two hands, to ensure that he can pass the election smoothly, it is a matter of one sentence.

And Shen Kuo didn't mention Li Ding for the time being, which was equivalent to holding the handle of the other party and threatening each other with Li Ding, and they remained silent together after the end.

Judging from Shen Kuo's intelligence, it is not surprising that he did this. But Shen Kuo has never made the right choice politically. Every time he wanted to change the court, he would encounter the worst outcome, and he never said that he could make the right choice.

Is it Han Gang?

Zhang's originally firm faith became hesitant.

…………………………

Although Li Ding didn't dare to directly throw the handle behind Shen Kuo, he did grasp a key on his side.

"Kaifeng Mansion said that there are as many as 100 officials suspected of rebellion in and outside Beijing, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Shen Kuo rushed to play this matter before the promotion, and its purpose is not known."

As long as it is not to expose Shen Kuo's handle, Li Ding does not have too many scruples, and he can still accuse Shen Kuo of being selfish.

"The minister Shen Kuo is foolish, and he has no merit in the country, so he does not dare to compare with the sages. Zai Fu's responsibility, the minister Shen Kuo is beyond his reach. ”

Shen Kuo resigned from the opportunity to participate in the election, which made his previous questioning of Lu Jiawen and others become upright.

Since he has turned down the opportunity to participate in the election, what he said is a little more credible.

It's just that the Empress Dowager Xiang faintly felt that it was not much, and Shen Kuo's opinion was completely contrary to the previous request of the Zai Fu. Han Gang, in particular, has been begging to let go of the captured traitors and send them to the Four Wildernesses.

"Han Qing, what do you think?"

"This rebellion was hasty, and how many people would really be involved? Most of them are ordinary exchanges, and the letters left behind are also ordinary inquiries. But once you are interrogated in prison, you can get any kind of confession. ”

Han Gang's opinion was really not the same as Shen Kuo's, and he quickly asked the empress, "What does Han Qing think?!" ”

"Please send down the edict of Your Majesty, Cai Jing, Xingshu and other rebellious rebels, all their personal letters should be destroyed as soon as possible, so as to appease the hearts of the people of the dynasty and the people, and also let the world admire the benevolence of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven."

Han Gang looked around the court, and the feelings contained in many Dao sights became full of gratitude after these words.

"Burn it!" His tone was firm.
