Chapter 28 The official near Qingyun and Tiantong (3)
What is the prime minister?
The imperial and Song officialdom was based on whether there was a title of "Pingzhangshi in the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Emperor and the Emperor".
At this time, there was no official position under the name of Prime Minister, only Ping Zhangshi, the subordinate of the Secretariat. The title was the real prime minister who was Ping Zhang in the Political Affairs Hall.
Wang Anshi's Kaifu Yi and the Sansi can be compared with the San Gong, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo even added the Shizhong and Sikong's rank, which can also be regarded as the prime minister. If they go to court, their rankings will definitely be above the ruler, or even above the prime minister, but they are definitely not the real prime minister.
If there are many prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, it is necessary to distinguish between high and low levels, it depends on the title of addition. The Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan is the Prime Minister, the Supervisor of the National History is the second prime minister, and the Grand Secretary of Jixian Academy is the third. However, in recent years, Wang Gui has been the only prime minister, so although he only has the position of Supervisor of the National History, he is still the Prime Minister.
Han Gang originally thought that Wang Anshi was given a visit to the emperor today, but it was taken for granted by the emperor. In addition to Wang Gui's fault last night, his father-in-law should be able to serve as Prime Minister Xuanma for the third time, and serve as the just-vacancies of Prime Minister Zhao Wen and become Prime Minister.
But now it has become a major military and national affairs in Pingzhang. At first glance, this position is to be above Pingzhang's affairs in the same position as the subordinate of the Secretariat of Zhongshu. From a reasonable perspective, it is absolutely impossible to be lower than Wang Gui, but Han Gang always feels something is wrong.
"Dare you dare to ask your highness, but Ping Zhang's military and national affairs are important?" Han Zhen asked, and the emphasis fell on the word "金".
"That's right." He replied to the queen, "The official family used to be the king to be the chief of civil and military affairs. He hoped that he would plan to discuss the temple today and control the Chinese and foreign countries. He also allowed him to go to the palace for six days and not go to the palace."
Han Gang suddenly realized that he had only been in his ten years as an official, and his seniority was only one-third or five of the average number of the magistrates. He still lacked his understanding of the official system and his reaction was slower than others. But since Xiang Queen had said this, it was impossible for him not to understand it.
Wang Anshi is not the prime minister.
After all, Zhao Xu did not let Wang Anshi become prime minister for the third time. Instead, he gave Pingzhang a military and national affairs, who seemed to have a higher status but was far inferior in real power.
Without the power to "assist the emperor, generalize all officials, govern all the common affairs, and govern everything", he was just a counselor of military and national affairs, and used it for the emperor and the queen of curtains to consult. Junheng's court did not take charge of practice. For Zhao Xu, who wanted to ensure the stability of the court, this was a good appointment.
Han Gang looked in the direction of Wang Gui, and he could tell that he was relieved.
If Wang Anshi comes, he will definitely have to leave. But Wang Anshi is just a matter of Pingzhang's military and national affairs, then Wang Gui can continue to be his prime minister.
Especially judging from Wang Gui's performance today, he might be able to stay for a year or two, or even longer - usually, obedient ministers are always the type of prime minister who are most loved by the king.
The court affairs were in charge of Wang Gui, and Wang Anshi was the counselor of the important military and national affairs, and Wang Anshi was also the suppression of the floating people's hearts. The government should be stable.
However, Wang Gui could not continue to serve as the only prime minister, and someone would definitely have to divide the power of Premier Wang Gui's common affairs. In the past two days, the Bachelor's College has returned to the locked courtyard.
As for Sima Guang, although he served as the crown prince's tutor, he still has the new law for the country, and the old party will not have a chance. Once he meets the emperor, he can go back to Luoyang to compile the book.
Zhao Xu was thinking too much. But for stroke patients, it is not a good thing to consume their minds like this. I don’t know how long it can last if this continues.
But Han Gang also understood that in later generations, ordinary officials may suffer serious illness after retirement. If an emperor who once controlled the territory of thousands of miles and whose people had given up his power, the possibility of being able to recover with peace of mind is really small.
"Since the official has appointed Wang Xianggong as the important military affairs of Pingzhang, the northern border garrison, etc., we can discuss it later when he goes to court tomorrow. As for the Liao envoy mentioned before..." Queen Xiang did not wait for everyone to digest the appointment given to Wang Anshi by the emperor, and pointed out Han Gang, "Scholar Han, I don't know how you think."
Han Gang stood up and saluted: "I would like to share your worries for you."
"It's just too wronged to be a bachelor's degree." He sighed to the queen. Everyone understands what the grievance she said refers to. After serving as a servant, he will definitely take over the position of a bachelor's degree in Hanlin.
Hanlin bachelors are all wronged. If the words to the queen are spread out in a daze, I don’t know how many civil officials who can even look at the position of serving as a servant will curse. But it would be wrong to ask a double bachelor in the palace who resigned from the government affairs to become a Hanlin bachelor.
Moreover, what Han Gang did in Funing Hall last night was not just a merit, but a kindness to the emperor, the queen and the crown prince. That was the kindness of Lu Duan to Zhenzong and Han Qi to Yingzong. Han Gang did no less than the two famous ministers.
"Distribute the worries of the king is the duty of the minister. How can one get the word "wronged"?!" Han Gang said with a few humility and said, "After the Liao envoy's affairs have been agreed, I would like to leave."
Su Song also stood up and said, "I also asked for your leave."
Since the candidate for the Liao envoy has been confirmed, as for the preparations on the border, it is decided to wait until Wang Anshi, the newly promoted Pingzhang, will make a decision to make a case after he goes to court tomorrow. It is naturally not convenient for Han Gang and Su Song to stay for a long time. Being arrogant with favor will never be a good thing. No matter how much affection is, it will be exhausted. Han Gang understands this very well.
Han Gang and Su Song left Chongzheng Hall, and Wang Gui went out to class and said: "Since Han Gang has taken over the position of a staff member, this Hanlin scholar must be added to avoid being underestimated by the Liao people... But Han Gang had resigned before because he was not good at writing poems and writing courtesy, and he could not add the title of an imperial edict without knowing the imperial edict. He still held the position of a Hanlin scholar and only added the position of a Hanlin scholar."
If a Hanlin scholar does not know how to make imperial edicts, he cannot be considered a Neihan who is in charge of internal system, but is just a simple job in the Pavilion. Just like the Dragon Tu Pavilion and Duanming Hall.
If Hangang is appointed as a Hanlin Bachelor, and his position on the office will be removed as usual, whether one or two, it will be an extremely obvious derogatory reprimand. It is impossible for the Queen to approve this appointment. It is necessary to retain the Bachelor of Duanming Palace and Bachelor of Longtu Pavilion before Hangang, plus the Bachelor of Hanlin.
But in this way, Hangang has three bachelor's positions.
However, the several priests in the hall took it for granted. Although they held three bachelors in one person, Hangang was just getting the holy family. Who can ignore the merits of the decree? It is qualified no matter how you say it. Moreover, Duanming Hall was originally an additional title for veteran Hanlin Bachelors or Hanlin Bachelors, and it is not impossible. This appointment, not to mention the Chongzheng Hall, there will be no objection even in the court.
But after the screen, it was quiet for a long time. After a while, the priests heard the voice of Queen Xiang: "Remember Wang Shao once served as a bachelor of the Secretariat Hall?"
Queen Xiang was deeply impressed by the success of Hehuang. It was the first reputable achievement in Zi's hands today. It was the good news that came back after Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu disappeared for many days and fell into despair in the court. It made Zhao Xu excited for half a month. The rewards to Wang Shao were also one plus and another. The appointment of the Bachelor of the Secretariat of the Secretariat Hall was decided in front of her.
The Bachelor of Zizheng Hall was originally appointed to the post of resignation, but Wang Shao was awarded the Bachelor of Zizheng Hall for his military achievements in Hehuang. From then on, he no longer had to be in charge of governing. Han Gang's years of military merits have accumulated, and this time he was the leader of the founding of the crown prince. What's more important is that last night, Han Gang actually turned down the position of the chief minister. This action made his reputation not better. The ruler who was less than 30 years old may be the only one in national history and can be left with a reputation for eternity. After refusing this edict, Wang Anshi refused to enter the capital for many years and was far from comparable to that of the official.
In order to fight for the reform of the rituals, Sima Guang also wrote a special book in his biography of the National History. His disciples also promoted it. However, in order to compete for the foundation of the country, Han Gang resigned from the political affairs of the assistant minister. What is the realm of resigning from the political affairs of the two governments? They were both in power, and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council were one level lower than the political affairs of the Minister. Not to mention other things, the Privy Council was placed in the ranks of ruling, not the rank of prime minister.
Since Han Gang resigned from the position of the Chief Secretary for Political Affairs and changed to a bachelor's degree in the imperial examination to balance the appointment of the Hanlin Bachelor's degree.
Wang Gui bowed and replied, "Those who provide advice are those who prepare consultants. With Han Gang's ability, it must be all right."
Cai Que was a little hesitant, and Xiang Empress did not make it clear: "Han Gang was a bachelor of Duanming Palace and a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion. Now he will be the first choice for Yutang. I dare to ask Your Highness, but will Duanming Palace be changed to the Zizheng Palace?"
After the screen, a little unconfident voice rang out. He asked the queen, "Can you serve as a part-time job?"
There was no sound in Chongzheng Hall for a moment.
If Duanming Hall is converted into Zizheng Hall, the Bachelor of the Zizheng Hall, the Bachelor of the Longtu Pavilion and the Bachelor of Hanlin Hall, it is not much different from before. Even if it is changed to Longtu Pavilion to Zizheng Hall, it is still a thing of the past to let the two halls of Hangang be together.
But what if the queen is willing to add a bachelor's degree in the Hall of Guizhou?
Bachelor of Zizheng Hall, Bachelor of Duanming Hall, Bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and Bachelor of Hanlin. In other words, one person has four bachelors?!
Each of the prime ministers counted their fingers, Guanwen Hall, Zizheng Hall, Duanming Hall, Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion [Note 1], and including the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy of Yutang, there are only seven candidates for the selection of halls. Even if the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall and Zizheng Hall are included, there are less than a dozen.
And Han Gang... he alone takes up nearly half of it?!
Note 1: During the Yuanfeng period, there were only these six palaces and pavilions in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Bachelor of Zichen Hall and Bachelor of Civilization Hall were both old names of the Bachelor of Guanwen Hall. Xuanhe Hall, Baohe Hall, and Yankang Hall were established during the Huizong period. The Pavilion was a place to preserve the imperial books, imperial collections, various classics, pictures, Baorui things, as well as the famous books, genealogies and other items of the royal family members introduced by Zongzheng Temple. Before Shenzong, there were only Taizong's Longtu Pavilion, Zhenzong's Tianzhang Pavilion, Renzong, and Yingzong's Baowen Pavilion.
