The Minister of State, the Right Deputy, is in Court Today!
Several days later.
Great Song Imperial City, Chongzheng Hall.
The sun had just risen, and Chongzheng Hall was already filled with officials waiting for the morning court session.
But this time, in the huge Chongzheng Hall, the civil and military officials all had worried expressions.
Especially Wang Anshi, Shen Kuo, and the others, they were even more restless, panic written all over their faces!
"Duke Jie Fu, how should we end things now?”Shen Kuo stood beside Wang Anshi and sighed faintly.
Wang Anshi rolled his eyes at Shen Kuo's question.
Since things have come to this, you, Shen Kuo, can't absolve yourself of the blame, alright? Everyone was in the same boat, so they could only brace themselves and hold on.
At this moment, the old party was gloating. They were all political enemies, and all kinds of open spears and hidden arrows were used against each other. The new party was in a hurry to carry Su Dongpo away. In just a few days, wouldn't trouble come knocking on their door?
"I'm afraid that the only person in the entire court who can make Lord Right Deputy come out of retirement is none other than Duke Jie Fu.”The one who spoke was Han Qi, one of the old party leaders.
At this moment, he looked at Wang Anshi with a gloating expression, as if he had taken revenge.
"Hmph, Lord Han is so excited. Those who don't know the truth would think that Lord Right Deputy is your old party colleague.”Wang Anshi did not seem to be at a disadvantage, but his heart could not help but beat a drum!
If he had known that the Right Deputy who had dealt with Su Shi would definitely not let it go, Wang Anshi did not expect that this day would come so quickly!
On the third day after Su Shi was demoted, the Right Deputy, who had not attended court for half a year, actually announced that he would attend court today!
As soon as he said this, everyone in the Great Song Dynasty Hall was in a state of panic.
At this juncture, Su Zhe was going to court. Wasn't he here to denounce him?
"It's been half a year since Su Ziyou rejected my plan to govern Xixia. I'm afraid this time, he doesn't come with good intentions!”
Wang Anshi couldn't help but feel a little wary.
He admired Su Zhe 30 percent and feared him 70 percent. The other party was already a powerful official at such a young age. He was also an important official entrusted by the former emperor. He was impressed by Su Zhe's talent.
In the two hundred years since the Great Song was founded, there had never been such a great talent!
Everyone knew that there were many good ministers in Great Song, and Su Zhe was definitely the most talented one.
However, no one was perfect, and there were no saints in the world. Su Zhe's biggest flaw was that he was too protective of his shortcomings!
A servant of the Su Residence was whipped by the Emperor's younger brother, King Duan, on Vermilion Bird Street. When Su Zhe found out, he almost broke King Duan's leg. Not to mention his brother Su Shi.
This time, he had provoked this Right Deputy, so Wang Anshi was somewhat determined.
"Although Su Ziyou is neutral between the old and new parties, as long as Su Shi is in court, the new party will forever be suppressed by the old party! If he wanted to reform the maladministration, Su Shi had to leave Bianliang!
For the people of the world, for the Song Dynasty, I, Wang Banshan, die what fear?”
Wang Anshi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination.
Let the storm be more violent!
"Duke Jie Fu, say something!”Shen Kuo, who had only a few strands of beard left, was so anxious that he was about to cry.
This time, Su Ziyou might not have come to the court to settle the score. Perhaps he would wipe out the new party in one fell swoop. At this time of life and death, as the leader of the new party, Wang Anshi actually had the mood to stand here in a daze?
"When Su Ziyou was fourteen years old, he was able to recite the sentence 'To seek the life and death of the country, how can I, Wang Banshan, be willing to be inferior to others? The new policy benefits the country and the people. Even if I, Wang Banshan, die and my blood splatters in front of the hall, I won't take a step back today!”
Wang Anshi directly stated that even if blood splattered on the spot today, he would not lower his head!
Shen Kuo, who was waiting for Wang Anshi to express his stance, froze when he heard this. Damn, Old Wang, do you have to be so stubborn?
Originally, Shen Kuo had thought that both sides would take a step back, that the new party would give in, and that Su Zhe would nod his head and this matter would be over.
Shen Kuo had already received intelligence that Su Zhe was also very angry with Su Shi this time. Perhaps he did not plan to bail her out at all this time!
In this way, everyone's face was acceptable. Wasn't this good?
The Great Song Dynasty followed the tradition of not being a doctor, and the status of scholars was extremely high!
Didn't you see that even Su Shi, who had a foul mouth, ended up being demoted?
This time, even if Su Zhe was unhappy and banished the leaders of the new party out of Bianliang, there was still hope!
In the end, Wang Anshi directly said something like "blood splattered in front of the palace" in front of everyone. How was the New Party going to end this?
Although Wang Anshi was also a prime minister and a duke!
But Su Zhe was the Minister of State!
The Great Song Dynasty respected the right. Was Wang Anshi too arrogant to be able to distinguish between the big and small kings?
"Duke Jie Fu, you and I drank all night last night. Are you still drunk?”Shen Kuo smiled awkwardly and quickly pulled the stunned Wang Anshi into the crowd.
At this moment, Shen Kuo was even looking forward to Su Zhe's arrival.
There was nothing else. It was better to have a short period of pain than a long period of pain. Instead of suffering here, it was better to have a quick death. Moreover, it would make Wang Anshi speak less!
At this moment, the key ministers of the New Party were all in danger. Su Zhe's name was like a dark cloud that lingered in their minds.
Many people had the thought of protecting themselves. If Su Zhe really made trouble for the new party in the court later, they were prepared to cut ties immediately!
At the same time, in the back hall of Chongzheng Hall.
Zhe Zong was also uneasy at this moment!
He had been on the throne for more than two years, but Su Zhe had skipped work for a year!
However, for the little Emperor, Su Zhe's absence from court had relieved him of a lot of pressure.
There was no other reason. The former emperor had relied too heavily on him.
Before the former emperor died, he specially issued an edict to entrust me to Su Zhe and granted me the title of Minister Youcheng, Duke of Wei!
If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried that Su Zhe wouldn't be rewarded by the Zhe Sect in the future, Su Zhe would probably be one of the three dukes now.
What Zhe Zong couldn't understand was that his father was different from the previous precedent of entrusting his son to Su Zhe. He only entrusted himself and the Great Song to Su Zhe alone.
There wasn't even a minister who could check and balance them!
In the entire world, only Prime Minister Zhuge of the Great Han Dynasty had received such treatment.
However, after the little Emperor ascended the throne, he realized how vicious his father's eyes were!
This Su Zhe was really an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. The operation of the huge machine of the Great Song could not be separated from Su Zhe's existence.
"It's a pity that father gave him too much authority…Since ancient times, there had been many examples of powerful officials causing chaos in the country.”
The little Emperor sighed and recalled his father's words before he died.""If my son is successful, you can support him. If the emperor's son causes trouble for the country, you can replace him!”
These words had been lingering in the little Emperor's heart like a nightmare. It also made him feel an invisible pressure every time he faced Su Zhe!
Originally, the monarch and his subjects were still in peace. All of Su Zhe's political and military affairs were handled in the Su residence. However, now that Su Shi had been demoted, this Minister of State, who had not attended court for nearly a year, was allowed to return to the court!
"Your Majesty…It's almost time, don't you think?”Tong Guan saw that the little Emperor had no intention of going to court, so he tried to remind him.
"No rush! Wait a little longer!"
At this moment, Zhe Zong was also holding back his anger.
As long as Su Zhe did not appear, he could not go to court first. He could not weaken his momentum!
