Han Gang was led into the flower hall of the Lu Mansion, and Lu Huiqing was greeted by a degraded rank as a political officer.

At home, Lu Huiqing will not wear a purple robe and a gold belt, but a simple Taoist uniform. Standing at the foot of the stairs, the demeanor is peerless. is not the appearance, but the elegant and indifferent bearing, which makes people admire at first sight. That is. The Sages of Today,

Seeing this, Han Gang hurriedly stepped forward, "Han Gang meets and participates in politics." ”

Lu Huiqing also took two quick steps, helped Han Gang who was bowing down, and said with a little disgust: "Yukun, is the etiquette prepared for my generation?" ”

"Han Gang doesn't dare to be." Han Gang said modestly. As he spoke, he saluted Lu Shengqing, who came out together.

When the three of them fulfilled the etiquette on the surface, they greeted each other in place. Han Gang and Lu Huiqing approached the hall hand in hand, as if there was no mustard between the two at all, and it was completely a deep friendship.

sat down, and when the subordinates of the Lu Mansion sent the tea soup, Han Gang put away his politeness and asked bluntly: "Han Gang has already seen the letterhead of participating in politics, I don't know what is the urgency of Li Feng's case, and it caused Han Gang to be recruited to participate in politics and pass through the mansion at night?" ”

Lu Huiqing sighed and said solemnly: "Yukun, do you know who is implicated in this case?" ”

Han Gang looked at Lu Shengqing, who was sitting upright and without saying a word, and then at Lu Huiqing, his heart was like lightning, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be Jiayue?" "Anyway, it can't be himself, he is a three-generation farmer, and he doesn't have so many connections in the officialdom.

"Yukun really guessed it." Lu Huiqing didn't think it was strange, he had this attitude, and it was strange that Han Gang couldn't guess it.

"Who the hell is it?!" Han Gang was a little puzzled.

Wang Anshi has nothing to do with Zhao Shiju, and Li Feng ...... He is the brother-in-law of Teng Fu, who used to be the governor of Qinzhou, and he is also related to Fan Zhongyan, but he can't get along with Wang Anshi. If the connection could have been found, it would have come out a long time ago.

Lu Huiqing has no idea of selling Guanzi, if he does, he will lose his identity as a governor: "It's Li Shining!" ”

“…… That false Taoist? ”

Han Gang remained silent, and there was a joke in his tone, but he already knew in his heart that this matter would indeed be a little troublesome. Because that Li Shining is the guest of Wang Anshi's family. It is said that he has strange skills and can also write poems, so he can eat quite well among the scholars in the capital.

In the early years of Xining, before Wang Anshi entered Beijing, he had already had a relationship with him, and Wang Anshi also wrote poems for him. And when Wang Anshi became the prime minister, Li Shining also lived in the prime minister's mansion for half a year, and he also had a little friendship with the Wang Yan brothers. And Han Gang doesn't like Buddhism and Taoism, and he can't write poetry, although he has seen Li Shining's face, and he also accepted his gift when he married Wang Yi, but he didn't pay much attention to him at all.

But it's just a nuisance. In Han Gang's mind, with just one Li Shining, it is difficult to drag Wang Anshi into the water in this case. Lu Huiqing couldn't help but make a fuss.

"Fake Taoist?" Lu Shengqing retorted, as if he was showing his sense of existence, "Yukun, Li Shining has a degree!" ”

Han Gang laughed and said, "The so-called degree is just a piece of paper. I bought a degree with two or three hundred guan, but can I really become a disciple of Buddhism, an old man? ”

He had no intention of arguing with Su Song before. However, on the current occasion, in terms of words, he does not want to fall behind, and has to grind until Lu Huiqing tells his true purpose.

Seeing his younger brother and Han Gang arguing, Lu Huiqing drank tea leisurely, paused for a while, and then said slowly: "I don't want to talk about whether Li Shining is a fake Taoist priest, but he is inseparable from Jiefu Xianggong. Shen Cunzhong, who tried the case, was a soft man, and Fan Bailu was Fan Zhen's nephew. I'm afraid it hurts. ”

"Even if Li Shining is really involved in the case, there is no appointment with Deng Wen. With him in charge, why worry? ”

What Han Gang said seemed to be stupid. The three people present all know that between Wang Anshi and the Son of Heaven, there is no need to ask who Deng Juan will choose. Deng Xuan, who once said that 'laughing and scolding from you, good officials must be done by me', has been following Wang Anshi closely before, because the Son of Heaven hopes that the new law will not be interfered with.

One thing must be clear, the appointment of the imperial history has nothing to do with the prime minister, it is jointly recommended by the imperial historian, the imperial historian and the Hanlin scholar, and its main purpose is to limit the power of the prime minister. Deng Juan was able to achieve the position of the middle of the imperial history, not because he was personally attached to the New Party, but because he was personally attached to the New Party, which satisfied the Son of Heaven.

Lu Shengqing laughed, "Deng Wenyue won't say the first half of a good word for the minister-in-law." ”

But Lu Huiqing would never think that Han Gang's question contained stupidity. When Han Gang cast his gaze over, he slowly picked up the teacup, "Li Shining is involved in the case, if it is indeed a crime of treason, it should be in accordance with the law. Argument. ”

Han Gang smiled slightly: "Jiayue has the heaviest law, and he will not break the law of the country for personal friendship, let alone cover up the felony of treason." ”

"If there is Yukun, then I will be relieved."

"When you participate in politics, you are more familiar with Jiayue than Han Gang, and if you participate in politics, you can rest assured that Jiayue is in Jiangning."

Li Shining's case is difficult to move to Wang Anshi. In any case, this case is just Zhao Ji's venting, not a weather vane to change the political situation in the court, if it is really involved in the head of the former prime minister, the current powerful Li Feng and Zhao Shiju plotting against the case will come to an abrupt end. Han Gang knows this, could it be that Lu Huiqing doesn't understand?

Lu Huiqing was anxious to come to him to talk nonsense, which was to show his attitude in a gesture of negotiation and compromise, to ease the tense status quo between the two, and to change the estranged and almost hostile behavior in the past. As for Wang Anshi's involvement in the rebellion case because of Li Shining, it was just an excuse, Han Gang had no intention of asking in detail, but just smiled and said, "I don't know if the Feng Xiang Guild will want to take advantage of the situation to make some waves." ”

"That's for sure. However, the Son of Heaven is smart and wise, and he will not listen to and believe partially. ”

Of course, talking to smart people makes people easy, but Han Gang's reaction is too fast, which also makes Lu Huiqing jealous. His brother is still ignorant about this matter, although Lu Huiqing is unwilling to give in to his younger brother - the same reason, he did not invite Zhang Dian to come with him - but Lu Huiqing also inevitably has a sigh of hatred for iron and steel.

After the two became estranged because of the failure of the previous solicitation, Lu Huiqing finally decided to adjust her attitude towards Han Gang. Just like Lu Huiqing can't treat Zhang Dian as his own pawn, with Han Gang's current achievements and the trust of the Son of Heaven, he is enough to be worthy of the identity of a political ally.

Although he still has a grudge against the past, since Han Gang has shown enough strength, there is no need to dwell on old grudges. Hand in hand and look to the future, that's the best thing to do. In any case, neither side is an enemy to be defeated.

"But the Son of Heaven has always trusted Feng Xianggong." Han Gang said, "For many things, the Son of Heaven will consult Feng Xianggong's opinion. ”

"With Wang Yuyu here, how can Feng Dangshi compare to him?"

"Speaking of the Son of Heaven, there is no one in the Eastern Mansion who can participate in politics."

"Yukun, you have never been a little inferior." Lu Huiqing said with a smile: "Respect the master Zhang Zihou, I can teach you this good disciple." Zihou was in the same year as me, and he was already well-known among the new science and technology scholars and knew the etiquette and law. ”

"I only hate what Han Gang can't learn in case of being as good as Mr."

Lu Huiqing took a sip of tea: "Last year, there were many unsatisfactory places in the etiquette, and the Son of Heaven intended to revise the etiquette in the palace. ”

Han Gang sighed: "I only hate that my family teacher is sick now, and in addition to teaching and preaching, I can't afford to get involved in the rest." Otherwise, the test will definitely satisfy the Son of Heaven and convince Shilin. ”

"I heard that Feng Dangshi is a matter of knowledge and knowledge, and I have a headache when I hear it." Lu Huiqing said half-jokingly.

Han Gang said with a smile: "Feng Xianggong hasn't made any trouble with the performance of the Ordnance Supervisor these days. ”

Feng Jing and Wu Chong were enemies of their own family before, because he showed his flaws and gave the two Zaifu an opportunity - to be more precise, they thought that he Han Gang had revealed his flaws. But now, since he is famous all over the world with "Buoyancy Tracing the Source" for a while, he is deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven at the top, and he has firmly controlled the situation of the Ordnance Prison at the bottom, and he is invulnerable. Feng Jing and Wu Chong will not be stupid enough to target themselves again, but will only be Lu Huiqing who is trying to control power in the political hall.

Lu Huiqing frowned slightly, and changed her words: "Now that all the laws are prepared, the Dan Ding property book has not been revised for many years. Without the fifth-class property book, it is difficult to collect taxes, and it is difficult to enforce any law. It's just that once it is revised now, there will definitely be people who will falsify, so that the eunuchs will benefit, and the small people will suffer from meanness. ”

"But the hand-to-hand method?" Han Gang had long heard what Lu Huiqing wanted to do.

The topic between the two went round and round, and finally got to the point. But that's right, as political allies, although there is still a difference between the superior and the inferior, the relationship between the two parties is maintained by the exchange of interests, not by reward and flattery, but only by the fact that it looks like a bargain between market peddlers - although the essence is the same.

"If the people are allowed to report themselves, there will inevitably be adultery...... Is participating in politics ready to reward the person who first complained? ”

"Nature." Lu Huiqing returned lightly, not caring about the meaning of this sentence.

Han Gang suddenly felt that Lu Huiqing had gone too far in getting rid of Wang Anshi's shadow. Although Lu Huiqing has already expressed his attitude of sparing no effort to maintain Wang Anshi's association, but now, he has clearly stated that he wants to implement a new law, and Han Gang can't help but wonder how much he is tired of Wang Anshi's right-hand man.

"But there are many people in the world who are greedy for profit."

"The DPRK and China will send people to all walks of life to supervise and clean up the drawbacks."

"Participate in politics, but there is a market law in front." Han Gang reminded Lu Huiqing that the Hand Practice Law is the same as the City Change Law, which is a bill that consumes a lot of political resources.

Lu Huiqing's eyes stared at Han Gang, and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "...... His Majesty is in favor of the new law. ”
