The whole Han family has been preparing for Han Qizhen's matter.
When Zhang Yue heard the news the next day and came, he saw that the white banners in Han Mansion had completed the summoning of spirits.
Han Qi's wife died earlier. Now Han Qi died of illness again, and his nephew Han Zhengyan presided over his funeral.
As for Han Zhongyan, who was wearing a filial son's uniform and looked confused, this was Xiangzhou, and there were never as many dignitaries as Bianjing came to inquire. It would take some time for the news to reach the official family.
So Han Zhongyan looked like he had nothing to do.
After Zhang Yue paid homage to Han Qi, he found Han Zhongyan in the back hall.
Han Zhongyan said: "Duzhi, it was too rash for you to agree to write an epitaph for my father."
Zhang Yue said: "What's so rash? When I promised to write the Anguo Temple Tower Notes to your father, I knew that such a thing would happen in the future."
After saying this, Han Zhongyan and Zhang Yue both looked at each other and smiled. Smart people don't need to speak too clearly.
"Tell me about you, what are your plans for the future?"
Han Zhongyan smiled bitterly. Over the years, he had been punished several times. One time he objected to Wang Anshi's proposal to sit down and lecture at the Sutra Banquet in Tongzhi Liyuan, and was fined thirty kilograms of copper for the King of Yue's heirship.
This matter is closely related to Wang Anshi.
In addition, Han Zhongyan was involved in the fire in the Third Division.
This is related to Lu Huiqing.
This was when Han Qi was still here, and Han Zhongyan was beaten like this. What should we do now that Han Qi is gone?
Therefore, when Zhang Yue arrived at Han Mansion, one can imagine the anxiety among his disciples.
Han Zhongyan said: "Can we tell how Yan Jidao is doing now?"
Zhang Yue nodded, Yan Jidao was Yan Shu's youngest son.
At the time of Zheng Xia's case, the official copied a poem written by Yan Jidao to Zheng Xia at his home. The poem goes like this: "The little white trees are growing red and the branches are full of branches. I stand alone outside the court. The spring breeze is a guest in the world. How long will it last for prosperity?"
Because of this incident, Yan Jidao was involved in the Zheng Xia case and was imprisoned for making fun of the New Deal.
Yan Jidao was the son of the prime minister, and his brother-in-law Feng Jing was still involved in politics at the time, but he was actually in such a mess.
Han Zhongyan said: "After Yan Qi was convicted this time, although he was pardoned by the officials, his family fortune was gone and he was completely penniless."
Zhang Yue remembered that Yan Jidao had a rather arrogant temperament and was very famous for his poems. Others wanted to visit him, but he said that half of the people in the political hall were old guests of my family and had no time to meet him.
Han Zhongyan said: "In the past, when dad was here, he supported us and protected us from the wind and snow. As soon as he left, the frost sword and wind sword came. He was afraid that I would end up like Yan Qi. So I asked you to write an epitaph.
For your sake, others will not dare to touch my Han family."
Zhang Yue said: "Shi Pu, although Prime Minister Wang is stubborn, he is not like this. The official family does not allow anyone to dare to slander the Han family."
Han Zhongyan laughed at himself: "Dad is gone, are we, the Han family, reduced to asking for shelter?"
Zhang Yue said: "It's okay to compromise for a while. Don't imitate Yan Qi."
After a pause, Zhang Yue said: "Of course the important thing is that you should be self-reliant. If you have any difficulties, just talk to me!"
Han Zhongyan curled his lips and said, "Do I have to accept your love for Zhang San?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "You and I are classmates! What kind of friendship can be better than this!"
Han Zhongyan said disdainfully: "Not just classmates, don't forget, you and I are still the same age."
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot."
Han Zhongyan said: "You wait for me for three years, and in three years we will do great things together and stir up the world."
"Shameless talk!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Afterwards, Zhang Yue said goodbye to Han Zhongyan.
"Be careful of the Liao people, the northern captives are cunning." Han Zhongyan reminded.
…
The news of Han Qi's death was quickly spread to the capital through Zhang Yue's letters.
Wang Anshi was the first to receive the news.
After Wang Anshi heard the news, he actually kept his letter and remained silent for a long time. Wang Yu and everyone around him were surprised.
The relationship between Wang Anshi and Han Qi is not good.
The relationship between the two was formed when Wang Anshi was under Han Qi's rule. At that time, the two could not pee in the same pot. Wang Anshi had refuted Han Qi's order when he was a member of Zhongshushe. Later, Su Zhe held the imperial examination.
Wang Anshi refused to draft a book for Su Che, and at the same time insinuated that Han Qi was Wang Feng, a powerful official of the Han Dynasty.
And because of the quail case, Wang Anshi and Han Qi even fell out.
After Wang Anshi became prime minister, Han Qi has been opposing and criticizing his new law in both the government and the public. Now that Han Qi is dead, Wang Anshi should be happy.
Wang Anshi said to his two sons: "Actually, your Majesty relies heavily on me because Han Qi is in the wilderness."
Wang Yu and the two people beside him couldn't help but feel pity when they heard this.
After a pause, Wang Anshi said: "When I was a lowly official, I didn't know how difficult it was to be a prime minister. Now that I have been a prime minister for seven years, I finally know it. Mr. Han is virtuous and talented, and his aspirations are lofty. None of the other princes can catch up."
After saying this, Wang Anshi let out a long sigh.
Wang Anshi now admits that he is really bad at judging people. One is Zhang Yue and the other is Han Qi.
In fact, thinking about what happened back then, Han Qi had always looked after him and tolerated his offense to him, but Wang Anshi just didn't understand and contradicted Han Qi again and again.
When it came to the Quail case, Dali Temple and the Court of Inquisition all pointed their fingers at Wang Anshi, thinking that he was stupid.
At that time, Wang Anshi should have expressed the attitude that I was wrong, but Lao Wang lost his temper and insisted like a middle school boy, I was right, everyone was wrong, and I refused to apologize.
Finally, Han Qi told Wang Anshi about the matter and let it go.
Logically speaking, Wang Anshi should have thanked Han Qi like this, but Wang Anshi didn't go either.
A few years later, Lu Jie used this incident as an excuse to impeach Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi also paid for what he had done.
The king said: "Dad, the people in the Han Dynasty can't be resurrected, so I just need to write a few words of condolence to express my feelings."
Wang Anshi nodded, and immediately wrote an elegy, including the sentence "My heart is different from others, and we know each other very well."
After finishing writing, Wang Anshi felt that he could not fulfill his intention, so he immediately wrote another poem.
The two dynasties' personal and national security were in danger, so Qu Ce mourned this moment.
The trees and crops are afraid of high-ranking officials, the mountains are decaying and the fruits are withering when the philosophers are seen.
The heroic figure and refreshing spirit return to the picture, and the virtuous hero is in Dingyi.
The young man in the shogunate has white hair now, and he is sad and has no way out.
Wang Yu, Wang Pian looked at Wang Anshi's last sentence and couldn't help but feel sad for Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi returned to Beijing this time. When he passed by Guazhou, he gazed at Yangzhou and wrote a poem remembering the days when he was under Han Qi's curtain.
Bai Tou recalled the events at that time, the youngest in the shogunate was Qing Shi.
Reading the two poems together, I immediately feel infinitely sad.
Han Qi has gone to the west, and the boy who was once the shogunate has now become the prime minister. They are also faced with a country that is difficult to recover. They are also faced with the doubts of countless officials and people. There are also few people in the world who understand that they have worked hard and worked hard to govern well.
The country’s painstaking efforts.
Wang Anshi was feeling sad for Han Qi at the moment, so why not feel sad for himself?
…
At this moment, the officials in the palace received the news about Han Qizhen, and they felt both happy and sad.
He could not forget that when the reform was opposed by Han Qi, people with ulterior motives spread rumors that Han Qi had launched an army to quell the emperor.
What's more, Lu Gongzhu believed this matter to be true, and actually went to the emperor to say: "The imperial court destroyed Han Qi too much, and will use the armor of Jinyang to eliminate the evil on the emperor's side."
This frightened the officials into panic, and they really thought that Han Qi had been ordered by the empress dowagers of the two palaces to lead troops to Beijing to depose him.
Once Han Qi died, there was no potential opponent.
