Prime Minister

Chapter 841 Triumph in the Northwest
The next day, the officials, who hadn't slept all night, showed Wang Anshi a picture of refugees and Zheng Xia's memorabilia, and asked, "Do you know Zheng Xia?"

Wang Anshi said: "It's the servant of the minister."

Wang Anshi looked at the book carefully, and there was an expression of sadness on his face.First Zeng Bu, then Zheng Xia...

After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, please dismiss me as a minister!"

The official said to Wang Anshi: "I won't allow it... It's just that the new law should be stopped at this point."

Wang Anshi nodded. In fact, the new law is no different from his prime minister.

He has devoted all his life's effort to this, but he never expected to give it up for a picture.He put all his energy into thinking and turned himself into the ridicule of the world, but he did not expect to end up like this.

Lu Huiqing, a Hanlin scholar, hesitated to speak, he knew that the limelight was not right now, and forcing Wang Anshi to speak would only trap him.At this moment, he did not hesitate to speculate on Zheng Xia's motives with the utmost malice.

That's right, use a horse to pass into Yintai Temple until you reach Tianting.How does Zheng Xia, a lowly official, understand how it works? There must be someone behind the scenes giving instructions.

Thinking of this, Lu Huiqing looked at Feng Jing and Zeng Bu at the side.

Zeng Bu, the envoy of the third division, couldn't bear his eyes. His younger sister was married to Wang Anguo, so he heard from Wang Anguo that Zheng Xia might be neglected.

Now he is being suffocated by Lu Huiqing, and even Wang Anshi has treated him a lot colder recently, when he learned that Zheng Xia was estranged, he felt a little bit of satisfaction in his heart.

Wang Anshi clearly agreed to investigate the market by himself, and according to his wishes, he handed over to the officials, but why did he end up in such a field.

However, it is true that Wang Anshi himself assisted Wang Anshi in the implementation and implementation of the new law. During this period, he had offended many old party officials. Once the reform law was abolished, where would he go?
Zeng Bu glanced at Feng Jing who was on the side, and the expressions of Han Wei and Han Wei were also different.

Feng Jing seemed a little surprised, still frowning and thinking.

Han Wei, on the other hand, had a happy face and stood there with his hands behind his back.

Wang Anshi, who was standing in the hall, was a little numb, especially when he heard the words that the emperor wanted to stop the reform, he didn't say a word.

Han Wei seized the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, it is time to shill Kaifeng Mansion to suspend exempt money, and the third department will review the market, Sinon will open the warehouse, suspend the young crops, recover the exempt money, stop Fangtian and Baojia Law... ..."

Every time Han Wei said a word, a heavy hammer hit Wang Anshi's heart.These new laws have been implemented one by one by him over the past few years, which took him countless energy.

Is there anything more sad than watching your hard work get ruined?

As for Lu Huiqing's complexion is not good, the third division's pursuit of Shi Yi is to let Zeng Bu fully investigate the matter of Lu Jia's question, and the other party will not be merciful when the time comes.

After hearing Han Wei's words, the officials looked at Wang Anshi again, but Wang Anshi remained silent.

Not a word of plea or reprieve.

If there were any inappropriate details in the implementation of the new law in the past, Wang Anshi would argue endlessly with others.

Now because of a picture of refugees, Wang Anshi stopped talking, as if he was completely lying down and let the other party beat him.Wang Anshi remained silent, and Lu Huiqing did not speak either.

Han Wei said: "There is one more thing, please issue an imperial edict to seek frankness from all directions!"

Lu Huiqing's eyelids twitched, Han Wei's move was ruthless enough, it was like using public opinion from all over the world to force Wang Anshi to dismiss him and abolish the new law.This Han Wei seems to have premeditated.

Wang Anshi still didn't speak, and continued to let Han Wei do what he did.

At this time, a class was issued: "My minister, please recruit refugees from outside Beijing to serve as the forbidden army of this state."

Seeing the pained look on Zeng Bu's face, the officials seemed to understand his mood.

Feng Jing, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up: "There is one more thing that Xihe must stop the army and let Zhang Yue return to the teacher quickly!"

Wu Chong, who remained neutral in this battle, objected: "Now Zhang Yue is fighting hard under Qingtang City. If he withdraws rashly, if he is chasing after the enemy, the whole army may be wiped out."

Feng Jing said: "It is inappropriate for Xihe to use troops, which has caused a severe drought to this day. If Xihe does not stop the army, even if he kills Zheng Xia ten times, it will not rain."

Wu Chong was speechless when he heard the words, the other party pinned the hat to death, what else did he have to say.

Wu Chong looked at Wang Anshi, hoping that he could say a word, but the other party was still silent.Now in Xihe, Zhang Yue, Cai Yanqing, and Cai Bian are in charge, while in Shiyi Division, it is Lu Jiawen and Wu Anchi.

This kind of my son, your son-in-law and my son-in-law's partner, make the two of you have me in you, and you in me. Although the differences between the two have become more and more serious after they became prime ministers together, their interests are still related.

Once the new law is abolished, not only Wang Anshi's party will suffer, but Wu Chong will also be difficult to escape.

When the officials are upset at the moment, they can't take care of so much for a while, and at the same time, they think that they are already urging Zhang to negotiate a peace, so it shouldn't be a problem.

The official looked at Wang Anshi and asked, "What does Wang Qing think?"

Wang Anshi said: "I only have one thing to do, Your Majesty, please let me go immediately!"

The muscles on the official's face twitched slightly, and Wang Anshi was still stubborn at this moment.For other courtiers, they either admitted their mistakes or explained a few words, but Wang Anshi only had one sentence, which was 'the prime minister of the minister'.

The official immediately said angrily: "Then everything will be played by Feng Qing, Zeng Qing, and Han Qing!"

Both Feng Jing and Han Wei were overjoyed.

Seeing that Wang Anshi was still silent, Lu Huiqing finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Xia is good at sending horses and delivering horses, playing directly to surprise the imperial guards, please behead him!"

Lu Huiqing's counterattack came quickly and fiercely.

The official glanced at Wang Anshi, and after a little reflection, he felt that he was a bit too much and needed to be balanced, so he said: "This matter will be handed over to the Kaifeng Mansion Council."

"Resign!" Wang Anshi turned and left.

Lu Huiqing watched Wang Anshi's back, glanced at the emperor in the hall, and wanted to follow Wang Anshi away.

But Han Wei said in the hall: "Now that the reform has failed, and there is a severe drought, I beg your majesty to issue an edict to punish yourself, otherwise..."

When Lu Huiqing heard it, Han Wei had made an inch of it.

After another cup of tea, Lu Huiqing just quit.

Lu Huiqing walked out of the hall and ordered someone to call Lu Jia to ask. Deng Runfu and Deng Runfu said: "The officials want to abolish the new law, so let's stop the gentleman!"

Lu Jia asked, Deng Runfu and Deng Runfu were shocked and said together: "How about internal control?"

Lu Huiqing said: "The officials are now issuing an edict to ask for advice. You should immediately write to the county guards and guards all over the world, and ask them to speak up and praise the convenience of the new law in the local area, forming a first-class atmosphere!"

Han Weifang issued an edict in the temple for a while, and Lu Huiqing came up with a countermeasure.

Don't you, Han Wei, want to use the power of public opinion to depose Xinfa and Wang Anshi?
Then we compare more people to see who.

Let's debate!
Seeing that the two were still immersed in the blow of Wang Anshi's dismissal, Lu Huiqing said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether the minister is dismissed or not, but if the reform fails, the minister's hard work for many years will be ruined. There is no room for us in this court." place."

Both of them nodded, while Lu Jiawen gritted his teeth and said, "We all blame Zeng Bu, if he hadn't betrayed my husband, I wouldn't have made him dismiss me!"

Deng Runfu said: "It's useless to say these things at this time, Mr. Xiang wants to retreat, and the only thing that can keep the new law today is the internal system."

Lu Huiqing looked at Deng Runfu, Lu Jia asked, how confident he was in his heart, but said on the face: "Do your best!"

Lu Huiqing returned to the mansion and said to Lu Wenqing: "You write to Zhang Yue in my name and ask him to support the new law!"

In fact, Lu Huiqing asked the county guards all over the world to defend the new law. Zhang Yue was also on the list, but he decided to write to Zhang Yue himself.

……

Stop the new law, the third day when the emperor issued an imperial edict.

The capital, which has been suffering from severe drought for half a year, suddenly experienced heavy rain...

All the officials congratulated the officials on the rain, and the officials showed Zheng Xia's picture of refugees to the officials, and asked the officials why they didn't tell the people about the sufferings of the people?

The ministers looked at each other.

Lu Huiqing's action to defend the new law has already begun. He ordered a large number of his subordinates to submit letters anonymously asking the officials not to let go of Wang Anshi, and at the same time continue to stick to the new law.

At this time, Sima Guang and Teng Fu also went to Shushu to oppose the reform.However, it was heavy rain in Bianjing, and it rained again after three days, and another day later, this time it rained for a full day and night...

The fate of Wang Anshi's aspect and the survival and abolition of the new law are also at the most critical time.

……

In Dingli Temple.

After resigning as prime minister, Wang Anshi took refuge here.

In the past, although Wang Anshi talked about speech, he always lived in the mansion bestowed by the emperor, but this time he didn't even return to the mansion, and took refuge in the temple directly.

Wang Anshi was admiring flowers in the temple when he heard that Lu Huiqing came to see him.

When the two met in the pavilion, Lu Huiqing said to Wang Anshi: "Your Majesty has agreed to resign from the prime minister. If you want to stay in the capital as a master, you have specially ordered me to come and tell you."

Wang Anshi said: "What's the use of staying here in Beijing?"

"Xianggong..." Lu Huiqing wanted to persuade.

"Jifu," Wang Anshi interrupted Lu Huiqing, "you are a gentleman, and when you are a sage, you will make a lot of achievements in the future. As for me... I believe that our achievements will be like a stone thrown into water sooner or later. It must be accepted, as for a little bit of grievance and suspicion, it will disappear like snow seeing the sun."

Wang Anshi said here: "When I go to the post, I will recommend you to the officials to replace me. Don't let you and I spend years of hard work in vain."

Lu Huiqing thought of the continuous heavy rain after the reform was overthrown, and Sima Guang and others going up to oppose the new law...

Lu Huiqing said: "In case Your Majesty deposes the new law, it cannot be reversed by manpower. I think His Majesty's intention has never wavered since the reform."

Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "No matter what the holy will is, you have to stick to it now. From the time I preached hemp to the present, no matter what other people are, this heart of correcting the world and changing the world has never changed."

Lu Huiqing nodded slowly and said: "Now I have to stick to it."

Wang Anshi looked into the temple, and immediately recited a poem.

You can't see anyone on the river, and you have been dreaming of dirt for ten years.

In order to untie the lilac knot, Qin Qin releases the free spring among the branches.

After hearing this poem, Lu Huiqing knew that Wang Anshi's intention to go was determined... However, whether the reform can continue, Lu Huiqing felt that the future was uncertain.

At this moment, Lu Wenqing rushed to Wang Anshi, and Lu Huiqing said: "My lord, brother, we have won in the northwest."

"Dong Zhan has surrendered, and he went to Beijing with Zi Ali's bone to request! Zhang Yue has conquered the three prefectures of Hetao and Huang in the northwest, and the handsome master has returned victorious!"

Lu Huiqing was surprised and delighted when she heard the words. With Zhang Yue's triumphant return, the new law will be unbreakable!
The results of the reform were preserved.
