When Zhang Yue and Han Jiang talked about the risk of party fighting, he clearly saw Han Jiang's eyes hesitate for a moment.
Zhang Yue could see from Han Jiang's eyes that he did have concerns.
Han Jiang said: "I'm not worried about party strife, but I am the person recommended by Duke Han Wei after all, and I am in a position of suspicion."
Zhang Yue nodded. Han Jiang was talking about one reason and another, and he didn't dare to risk it.
If he had dared to risk his life back then, where would the prime minister get Wang Anshi's turn?
When Zhang Yue first proposed the exemption law, Han Jiang promised him that if he was lucky enough to be in power, he would definitely implement it.
As a result, after Han Jiang became prime minister, he proposed the exemption law, but Sima Guang objected for a few words, and finally it was implemented after Wang Anshi came back.
Zhang Yue said: "Even if Jiefu leaves and there are many party members, just because of the immunity from service law, Han Gong will be afraid of many obstacles when he ascends to power."
Han Jiang said: "I am also in favor of the exemption law, but what Jie Fu did was indeed not my original intention. If you want me to change my mind now, it cannot be done."
This is why Han Jiang was criticized by Wang Anshi for pursuing benevolence and violating it.
Han Jiang's problem is that he doesn't rely on either side.
Not only did he lose the support of the reformists, he also offended the conservatives.
For example, in the debate between Chinese and Western medicine, some people say that Western medicine is better for treating this disease, while another person says that traditional Chinese medicine is better, but some people jump out and say that traditional Chinese medicine is the main method and Western medicine is supplemented, or Western medicine is the main method and Chinese medicine is supplemented. This is certainly reasonable. , but no one listened.
Zhang Yue said: "Han Gong, only Wang Xianggong is the leader in the reform. Over the years, officials have been trained, such as Lu Jifu, Zeng Zixuan, etc., but they only serve Wang Xianggong. If the throne is changed, will Xianggong be as conceited as Wang Xianggong?"
Han Jiang said: "It's better to have more."
Han Jiang also understood that he was inferior to Wang Anshi in terms of prestige, courage, and ability.
Zhang Yue said: "If it's not as good as that, then there will be many political sects. When the time comes, the reformists will not be able to tolerate him, and even Sima Junshi may not be able to tolerate him."
Zhang Yue's words dispelled Han Jiang's idea of setting up a separate banner for Wang Anshi.
There can be differences of opinion within the reform faction, and it is okay for everyone to quarrel behind closed doors, but they must be unanimous externally.
At this time, if you take the team and go out to fight alone, both sides will attack you.
Zhang Yue guessed that although Han Jiang and Wang Anshi had differences, they were not at the point of going it alone. But he definitely had resentment towards Wang Anshi, and at the same time he also wanted to get back what he had lost politically.
Han Jiang asked: "What should I do? Should I resign to the official position and return to Daming Mansion? This is not acceptable."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Han Gong is worried too much. We can learn from the wisdom of the saint."
Zhang Yue is talking about the political wisdom of Confucius.
After Yang Hu, a powerful official of Lu State, fled, Gongshan Buxuan continued Yang Hu's route to fight against Sanhuan. Gongshan Buxuan extended an olive branch to Confucius and asked him to help him.
But in his heart, Confucius did not want to seek refuge with Gongshan Buxu, but he went to see Gongshan Buxu.
At that time, Zilu was very unhappy and asked Confucius, "Don't you have anywhere to go?" Why do you have to go and seek refuge with a traitor like Gongshan Buxuan?
Confucius said, Did I go in vain? If I go to him, I can help him revive the Zhou Dynasty like before.
After Confucius spread the news through Zilu, Sanhuan was very nervous and immediately appointed Confucius as the chief minister on behalf of the king of Lu.
Confucius agreed immediately without hesitation.
This was also the highest official position in Confucius' life.
After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Han Jiang understood everything immediately and said to Zhang Yue, "It's really enlightening."
After saying this, Han Jiang bowed to Zhang Yue.
Han Jiang, the former prime minister, saluted him. Zhang Yue quickly helped him up and Liandao did not dare to say, "Mr. Han had already intended this, otherwise he would not have condescended to come to the official residence to ask questions today."
That's right, how could Han Jiang decide on such a big idea just by listening to him? There must be many things he thought about that were in line with Han Jiang's original thoughts.

Han Jiang laughed and said: "Hey, if you don't tell me, you won't understand. In fact, when I was in Daimyo, Sima Junshi persuaded me to go back to the capital to fight, but my younger brother told me not to act rashly and to come to the capital to hear what you want. Now. It was only after I heard you explain it that I finally understood."
"You are at odds with Jiefu. Why are you resigning as a bachelor this time just to return to the northwest?"
Zhang Yue said: "Actually, Xianggong Wang has wanted me to return to the northwest for a long time, but I will not go back to the northwest if the prince is pure, but I will offend Xianggong Wang and his son."
Han Jiang was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then said: "That's it. I am also on your side in this matter."
Zhang Yue said happily: "Thank you so much, Mr. Han."
After Han Jiang left.
Zhang Zhi and Cai Que entered and looked at Zhang Yue's smile.
Cai Que asked: "Is everything settled?"
Zhang Yue asked, "What was negotiated?"
Cai Que looked at Zhang Yue and said: "It's so hard to ask for help, and I don't want to tell you everything."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Senior brother, you were also under Han Gong's command at the beginning. If Han Gong makes a comeback in the future, you can be reused."
Cai Que asked with a sharp look: "The official family wants to use Mr. Han as prime minister?"
Zhang Zhi asked the same question.
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "When did I tell you not to talk nonsense?"
Cai did think a little after hearing this.
That day, Cai Que said goodbye to Zhang Yue after only a few bites of dinner.
Zhang Zhi looked at Cai Que who looked confused. Zhang Yue said to Zhang Zhi, "Don't think about it. Senior Brother Cai will definitely go to see Mr. Han at his gate tonight."
Zhang Zhi suddenly shook his head and said, "He is too keen on fame."
And now in the palace.
The official family is upset.
The loss of Tabaicheng left him confused.
Wu Chong impeached Wang Shao in front of the palace for losing the city, the land, and the army, but Wang Anshi tried to protect him, and instead blamed Jing Si for the Lilang War.
Several ministers in the palace argued for a while but failed to come up with the final idea. The official returned to the palace in a depressed manner without even looking at the royal meal served.
At this time, the palace reported that the Queen Mother was here.
When the officials saw the Empress Dowager, they immediately saluted. The Empress Dowager said with concern: "The officials didn't eat lunch, so why didn't they eat dinner?"
The official said dejectedly: "I have no thoughts."
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "Guan, you have been like this since you were a child. If you are unhappy about anything, just blame it on yourself. Your body and bones are tied to the country, the country, and the country. You must not be treated like this."
The official said, "I know I was wrong."
Under the Empress Dowager's words, the official took a few bites of the meal.
The Empress Dowager said: "People are spreading new laws outside to disturb the people. Now they have lost even the battle. It seems that Wang Anshi is not able to do anything."
The official said: "This matter cannot be blamed on Wang Anshi, it is all..."
The Empress Dowager interrupted: "Didn't Wang Anshi resign several times in the past few days? Just agree to him and find someone else to share the worries of the official family."
The official said: "I have thought about it when I return to my mother, but the prime ministers are all chosen between the previous prime ministers. There was Chen Sheng who was very successful before, but he opposed the Qingmiao Law. Among the current ruling ones, Wang Gui is good at literature and not good at political affairs." , Feng Jing, Wu Chong, and Cai Ting all have their own shortcomings, Zhang Yue, Lu Huiqing, and Zeng Bu all have insufficient qualifications and cannot convince the public."
"As for the former Prime Minister Zhonghan, Fu and Wen Gong, he also opposed the new law. I don't know who to use?"
The Empress Dowager said: "Didn't the officials summon Han Jiang to the capital a few days ago? How is this person?"
The official put Kuaizi down, wiped his mouth and said, "This person can be used."
