Wang Hou was just sent out by Zhang Piguang.

After leaving Kaifeng Prefecture, Wang Hou headed towards Zhuque Gate.

Hundreds of cavalry were walking in the night, and their eyes flashed in corners where the light could not be shining. But when they saw Wang Hou and their party, they hid a little more secretly, and even their eyes disappeared.

Wang Hou saw it, but had no intention of capturing them.

These are all servants sent by various families to inquire about the news. When Wang Shao was still serving as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council in the capital, he encountered the turmoil of the court and sent many servants to monitor the road and inquire about the news. Because they were from the army, they performed quite well.

If you catch these eyes and ears, offend people for nothing, you will be released even if you send them in. If you break the convention, you will be regarded as dissidents in the capital, and you will be resisted or even attacked.

Moreover, Wang Hou wanted to get angry with Li Xin earlier. Some things cannot be relied on his confidants to pass on messages. Face-to-face conversations are the safest and you cannot waste time.

This is the third time that Wang Hou has escorted the prisoner to Kaifeng Prefecture today. Some of them are the families of the criminals. They are very upset when crying along the way. It is better to escort the uncle and nephew of the Cai family with Zhang Piguang for the first time, and they just kept their mouths shut.

Speaking of which, he still has fame and dares to attack. Wang Hou had to worry about the ideas of civil servants, but Zhang Piguang, who was also a Jinshi, didn't care at all, and then sent him to Kaifeng Prefecture and Shen Kuo's side.

At the beginning, Cai Jing was confirmed to be imprisoned. He heard Zhang Piguang's tone and dealt with him in the past two days.

The various methods of treating prisoners in prison have a long history and are profound and profound. However, Wang Hou is not easy to learn, so he didn't ask in detail. If Zhang Piguang wanted to perform, he would let him perform well.

Following Cai Jing, batch after batch of rebels were sent to Kaifeng Prefecture. As many prisoners were brought in, the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison, which was originally not small, became crowded.

I was used to the cells of three or five prisoners, and more than a dozen people were stuffed into them at once. Not to mention lying down to sleep, I felt crowded even when I stood there.

In such chaos, one or two prisoners had some accidents and had some emergency problems, which was really not a big deal.

Shen Kuo was so brave that he didn't dare to help Han Gang, but he didn't dare to make trouble. With Zhang Piguang in the middle, Cai Jing couldn't escape.

When he came out, Zhang Piguang gave him a chance. Without Han Gang's support, Shen Kuo would not have thought of entering the two palaces. How could he hesitate at this critical moment?

However, Wang Hou didn't think it would be a big deal that he had not solved Cai Jing first. Compared to the help of Han Gang by robbing weapons from Daqing Palace, this was not a big deal. He just hesitated for a moment and robbed Zhang Piguang first.

But the most generous reward has been confirmed before this, so I don’t need to worry too much.

The horse's hooves were loud, and the hooves hit the bluestone road. The rhythms of dozens of horses stepped out were intertwined and blended, and it was as crisp and refreshing as rain hitting a banana, as if Wang Hou's mood.

But it didn't take too long, Wang Hou pulled up the reins and stopped.

A team of patrolers was escorting three people from the front. Seeing this, Wang Hou's personal follower came up to ask what was going on.

"What's going on?"

When his personal escort came back, Wang Hou asked.

"If you go back to the imperial city, they have violated the night ban."

"Night ban? Someone dares to violate the night ban today."

It’s not during the day now, so you can walk on the Imperial Street openly, let alone being so special today.

A group of people hiding in the dark can be regarded as if they were not seen, but they sneakily wanted to cross the imperial street and were caught without any reason to let go.

Wang Hou glanced at the three of them. One of them was dressed the most gorgeously, completely different from the two men in servant costumes. They were obviously the master. However, they were fat and strong, with a fat face, and looked like a rich man.

The whole person was trapped firmly, his hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth was tied around, unable to speak. He just got closer, and then he smelled a strong smell of wine and osmanthus fragrance from him. I don’t know where he was rubbing the fragrant powder.

During the Emperor's Demolition period, the world was forbidden to have fun, and the capital was in a particularly long time, but this one obviously came back from drinking flower wine and happened to be in the way of being a patrolman. Of course, he could not be let go.

The government’s sticks do not hit hard, those who are lazy, and those who are not eye-catching.

"If you don't come back in the middle of the night, you're not a good person." Wang Hou smiled.

Wang Hou looked at the drunkard a few times and waved his hand without any interest: "Forget it, just send him to Kaifeng Prefecture to eat yellow rice for a few days, and he can also lose weight. If this body becomes fatter, it will be slaughtered when Jichun."

Wang Hou told a good joke, and a group of people under his command laughed with each other.

But I heard someone in front of me scolding, "Who is making noise on the street?"

The laughter suddenly suffocated, and Wang Hou raised his head and looked over, and a group of people coming towards him.

After getting closer, I realized that it was not the soldiers who patrol the night, but the follower of the important officials.

Wang Hou frowned immediately.

If it is a civil official with a bad temper, this is another stamp that can be written on his back - this day is not the time to laugh loudly.

But when he saw the font size on the lantern, his expression relaxed and he patted his horse to meet him, "But Donglai Han Mansion?"

"Ah, that's right."

………………………………………

When Han Gang left the Nei East Gate Hall, it was already three o'clock in the evening.

The edict that Wang Anshi, who has already been written for Pingzhang has been sent out, and it will be sent out at dawn.

The election proposed by Han Gang took a little trouble and also drafted edicts and detailed rules, which need to be discussed with the prime ministers.

The Empress Dowager agreed, and Pingzhang also agreed to the important affairs of the military and state affairs. The only remaining prime ministers and political participation, namely Han Jiang and Zhang Yu, could not deny the opinions of the Empress Dowager and Wang Anshi at the same time.

However, some additions have been made, especially the range of candidates in different positions in the two palaces.

For example, in the position of prime minister, it is impossible for two-system officials to sit in a single position. They must be in the current ruling or outgoing ruling. The Privy Councilor can be a political affairs officer, and the Deputy Privy Councilor can also be promoted. It is very common for the Deputy Privy Councilor to be transferred to the Chief Political Affairs Officer to be a deputy principal, and no one will simply be allowed to participate in the election with two-system or above.

Therefore, the tentatively determined that no two-system or above officials who have served as the prime minister can only be the deputy envoy of Privy Councillor. Only the oldest Hanlin bachelor of Hanlin is qualified to be the election of the deputy envoy of Privy Councillor and the important officials who have been in power. As for the prime minister and Privy Councillor, there is no open space where the two-system officials appear, and only the current and former prime ministers can be used as candidates.

As for the affairs of the Privy Council, which is dedicated to the signing of famous generals, it is another system and does not have real power, so it is a different matter and is not included in the scope of the election.

After discussing these trivial details, it was already too late. After sending the exhausted empress dowager back to her bedroom, Han Gang also came out of the palace again.

The Empress Dowager forgot to let Han Gang stay in the palace, but did not enter Han Gang, who did not enter the two palaces, nor did she plan to spend the night in the palace. The prime ministers stayed straight.

Wang Anshi stayed, he was the new Ping Zhang.

After coming out of the small hall of the inner east gate together, Wang Anshi did not ask more questions, including Han Gang's motives and the source of this idea. Instead, he went directly to the place where other prime ministers settled.

Han Gang was about to go home and have a comfortable sleep, but he didn't expect to meet Wang Hou on the road.

………………………………………

Han Gang was surprised when he heard Wang Hou's voice.

With Wang Hou's character, he should not be so frivolous and would laugh loudly on the Imperial Street in the middle of the night.

"Chudao?" Han Gang asked in surprise.

"It's really Yukun, you." Seeing Han Gang being seriously in the crowd, Wang Hou stepped forward and said, "Didn't you just entered the palace? Why did you come out again?"

"Nothing is that strange. Can you still live in the palace?" Han Gang said with a smile.

"Neither mansion came out." Wang Hou turned around and looked in the direction of Xuande Gate, then turned back and lowered his voice, "It's not just Yukun who just entered, but Yukun who came out was the only one."

Wang Hou led his troops to inspect the city, and it was not surprising that Han Gang and Wang Anshi entered the palace.

Han Gang said: "My family has been appointed Pingzhang again, so he stayed in the palace."

"...Where are you, Yukun?!" Wang Hou was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Do you have to quit before accepting?"

"No." Han Gang shook his head, "There will be no edict for the time being."

Wang Hou's face changed: "Today's great contribution, I can't enter the two mansions. Who will fight against the rebellion in the future?"

In a hurry, even his voice changed.

Han Gangze smiled and said, "Is there any relationship between the two sides?"

"Yukun, is it because of Cai Jing?!" Wang Hou said sternly, "You don't know yet, Cai Jing has been imprisoned, and Judge Zhang in the mansion will handle it."

Those who do not follow the thief will be rewarded. If Cai Jing quoted this article, he would be able to escape from the crime. But who can help him speak?

Wang Hou believed in Zhang Piguang's ability and his courage. Just for the sake of Han Gang's face, Judge Zhang curled up and believed that he would definitely have the courage to take a try.

"It's okay, it's not Cai Jing." Han Gang smiled and shook his head, "Cai Jing is nothing. It's my suggestion."

"Yu Kun?!" Wang Hou shouted in a low voice, almost unable to bear it.

Just after looking around, he still suppressed himself. Turned his horse's head and escorted Han Gang back.

While walking with Han Gang, Wang Hou asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Han Gang did not hide it, but frankly passed on all his proposals in the palace to Wang Hou.

"What are you doing with this twists and turns?" Wang Hou couldn't understand, "If the Empress Dowager personally chose... Yukun, don't you want to enter the two palaces?"

Wang Hou didn't want to say more about Mu Xiu Yulin. Han Gang must know this, and he never avoided it for this.

But what good does this proposal do him?

Who would be the happiest person?

Anyway, it's definitely not Hangang.

Wang Hou didn't understand Han Gang's intentions, Song Yongchen in the palace didn't understand, and the empress dowager certainly didn't understand, but Wang Anshi should have understood.

Han Gang never expected them to understand themselves, as long as they could follow them,

Hangang needs supporters, but his foundation is the shallowest.

The officials above the attendant system in Beijing have the right to vote, and it is really impossible to say whether Han Gang can enter the top three.

If millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital were elected, there would not be a second result. It would be to expand to the level of promotion to the presidency, and the presidency was promoted by officials at the level of seven or eight hundred presidency in Beijing, and the result would be that Han Gang would be in the forefront.

But the right to vote is now concentrated in the hands of the twenty-three people who have eliminated the prime minister, and the conditions for the election will only be the exchange of interests, and will only be the common struggle of the party.

Han Gang, his prominence will cause disgust among people with similar status. Moreover, when it comes to interest relations, his relationship with other important officials is too shallow. Neither the new party nor the old party, Han Gang has always deliberately shown his independence, which makes him almost unable to find help among the important officials in the court.

Hangang still has such self-knowledge.

He never thought that those old foxes who had been playing in the officialdom for decades could give up their existing position and instead support themselves.
