Opposition to Wang Anshi has not stopped last year, and even the queen mothers of the two palaces have come to oppose the reform.
Zeng Bu inspected the Yi Division in the name of the Third Division and almost rebelled against the new law.
Coupled with the drought and lack of rain, and the fact that Zheng Xia was a homeless man, the emperor, instigated by Han Wei, issued a self-incriminating edict and asked for advice from all directions.
However, Sima Guang, who was living in Luoyang, keenly grasped this opportunity. He criticized the new law in Shangshu and asked the emperor to remove the new law nationwide.
In the past few months, Lu Huiqing had been working hard for the survival of the reform. He was not only for his own power and position, but also for an unprecedented cause.
Since following Wang Anshi's reform, he has never been so convinced that what he is doing is the right thing, so outsiders call him a good god who protects the law.
Now that Xihe has seen his merits and taken over Hehuang, the biggest beneficiary is Wu Chong.
Lu Huiqing did not hate Wu Chong, but seeing Wu Chong promoted to prime minister made him uncomfortable.
There is still one person who is uncomfortable, and that person is Feng Jing.
After Wen Yanbo left the throne, he thought he had a good chance, especially with the help of his opposition to the new law this time, he could become a Privy Councilor. However, Zhang Yue's victory in the northwest changed everything.
As for Wang Gui, who stood aside very calmly, he had been a Hanlin bachelor for more than ten years and was used to seeing juniors leaping over his head and standing in front of him.
Lu Huiqing suddenly felt the official's eyes falling on him, and he seemed to realize something in his heart.
The official said to Lu Huiqing: "Wang Qing recommended two people to me as prime ministers, one is Han Jiang and the other is Qing. From now on, the East Palace will rely on Han Qing and Lu Qing."
Lu Huiqing was overjoyed. The Hanlin scholars at court included Zeng Bu (quanzhi's third minister), Han Wei, Yuan Jiang, Chen Yi (quanzhi's Kaifeng Prefecture), and Deng Wan, the chief censor.
Lu Huiqing became a Hanlin bachelor in February, and he was the least qualified among the "four seniors". He became a Hanlin bachelor in February, and now he has joined politics in less than two months.
Needless to say, Deng Wan's reputation was ruined when the others were selected.
Han Wei was from the old party, Chen Yi was a member of the emperor, and Chen Yi was from the new party. Among them, Yuan Jiang, Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing were all from the new party.

Yuan Jiang had seniority, and Zeng Bu was favored for investigating the Yi Division in accordance with the emperor's wishes. However, no one expected that the political affairs would eventually fall on him, Lu Huiqing.
Lu Huiqing understood that the most important thing among them was Wang Anshi, and the second was Zhang Yue's victory over Xihe, which all took away the influence of Hehuang.
This made the emperor realize that yes, the new law did have various shortcomings, but without Wang Anshi's reforms, there would be no victory in taking over Hehuang.
It's not that I'm afraid of paying the price, it's that I'm afraid that there will be no results after paying the price.
Victory can answer all doubts.
Lu Huiqing's sleeves trembled slightly, but his face remained calm as he said: "Your Majesty has shown you such kindness, and I can't repay you even though I'm so heartbroken. It's just that I have been a Hanlin bachelor for only two months, so I dare not accept the gift."
When everyone saw Lu Huiqing's unfazed appearance, it was because they felt that they had underestimated this person in the past.
Zeng Bu felt as if there was a huge stone in his heart, and his face drooped. It was very uncomfortable for anyone at this moment.
The officials refused, so Lu Huiqing accepted.
The imperial edict to pay homage to the prime minister was written by Han Wei, a Hanlin scholar, in charge of the palace, and everyone present was required to lock the courtyard.
Before the imperial system was announced, Hanlin scholars who wrote must lock their courtyards. In addition, the emperor announced it in public this time, so everyone who heard about it must also lock their courtyards.
Lu Huiqing lived alone in a palace room next to the small hall at the east gate of the palace that night, watching a bright moon rising slowly from the eaves of the palace.
Recalling the time when Sima Guang scolded him for the treachery of the Fujian people, many ministers in the court saw that he was promoted quickly and pointed fingers behind his back.
Lu Huiqing narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists under her sleeves, then slowly released them.
The Fujianese you looked down on in the past will be crowned prime ministers tomorrow!
Lu Huiqing thought of this and said silently, I will remember Zhang Duzhi's feelings in my heart.
Lu Huiqing stood in Linxuan all night until the Eastern Ming Dynasty.
On the day Lu Huiqing announced his death, a strong wind and haze suddenly broke out in Bianjing City, covering an inch of the city with yellow sand.
When the dust settled after Xuanma, Wen Yanbo judged Daming Mansion on behalf of Han Jiang, and Han Jiang went to Beijing to replace Wang Anshi.
After receiving the congratulations from his party, Lu Huiqing walked out of Donghua Gate and saw Zeng Bu walking into the palace gate with Yuan Sui and his servants.
When Lu Huiqing saw Zeng Bu, the resentment in her heart couldn't help but burst out.
Not only did Wang Anshi think highly of Zeng Bu, Wang Yu would also praise Zeng Bu from time to time to beat himself up, and then promoted Zeng Bu to check and balance him.
Lu Huiqing hated people coercing her most in her life. Yes, Wang Anshi and his son were very kind to her, but how could the kindness be used to coerce others?
There is a saying, ‘Repetition of great kindness is hatred’!
After Zeng Bu gained power, he revised his new laws without his consent.
Until the investigation of the Secretary of the City, Lu Huiqing had been suppressed by Zeng Bu. If Zeng Bu had not "betrayed" to the emperor, where would it be his turn to be a political advisor?
When Lu Huiqing saw Zeng Bu, she smiled slightly, but her heart was full of hatred.
Lu Huiqing watched him step aside and bent down to salute him. This gesture was like admitting defeat, but how could he, Lu Huiqing, let him go so easily.
Lu Huiqing walked up to Zeng Bu and said, "Zeng has internal control. In three days, he will re-examine the case of the Municipal Yi Secretary. You should find good people and subordinates to prepare for questions and answers."
Zeng Bu bowed his head and said yes.
Lu Huiqing sneered twice and passed in front of Zeng Bu. He saw that one of Zeng Bu's Yuan Sui raised his head slightly. Lu Huiqing immediately scolded this Yuan Sui in front of Zeng Bu.
In addition to scolding Lu Huiqing, he also accused Sang and Huai of invading Zeng Bu. Zeng Bu always lowered his head and did not dare to argue with Lu Huiqing.
Seeing Zeng Bu almost huddled in the corner, Lu Huiqing immediately walked away proudly with his hands behind his hands. Everyone in his party laughed at Zeng Bu and left.
Zeng Bu was so angry by Lu Huiqing that he could hardly stand still. Yuan Suidi was insulted by Lu Huiqing and said: "Master, it is not worth mentioning that a villain is scolded, but Lu Jifu is arrogant when he has power. He is really a despicable villain!"
Zeng Bu also gradually came to his senses and said, "He is like this, and he didn't know it on the first day."
After a pause, Zeng preached: "I am not Lu Jifu's opponent, but evil people will be punished by evil people, and there will be people who can deal with him in the future."
And Han Jiang, who was in Daming Mansion, received the edict to become prime minister.
In the third year of Xining's reign, he had been promoted to Zhao Wen Xiang. After returning to the court, he still worshiped Zhao Wen Xiang. Although Wang Anshi was a great person, he was only a historian.
At this moment, Han Jiang took the edict of worshiping the prime minister and said to his confidant, "All of this depends on Zhang Duzhi's planning for me."
How to say this?
A year and a half ago, the emperor wanted to use Han Jiang to enter the court, but Zhang Yue persuaded him to withdraw on the grounds of "united front".
Now Wang Anshi reciprocated the favor by electing Han Jiang as prime minister.
Han Jiang's years of dormancy resolved his biggest troubles.
Just like what Zhang Yue said to admonish Zhang Heng.
If people want to get something, in fact, as long as they are calm and pragmatic, they can achieve their goals easily and without anyone noticing.
But if you use too much force, are too aggressive, are too childish, and are too ignorant of the world, you will cry, scratch, and pull. Not only will you get nothing, but you will also pull all the good things on the table to the ground, and you will never get them.
