Chapter 48: Ride Home Alone (Part II)
"Prime Minister's ......" Han Gang was stunned when he heard this, he had always had a quick brain, but he didn't react at once. He was a little stunned and asked, "Is it the prince of the king?" ”
Wang Hou nodded, "It's Wang Jiefu and Wang Xianggong." ”
After being confirmed, Han Gang's heart suddenly felt like an angry sea of gale, and there was a stormy wave. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he actually made the prime minister of a country and the famous ministers of the ages take a fancy to him.
But Han Gang only felt a stir in his heart, but he didn't feel flattered, but a trace of unhappiness surged in his heart. Not to Wang Hou and Wang Shao, but to Wang Anshi.
In his opinion. Wang Anshi's approach is a bit unauthentic. If you were really optimistic about yourself, you should have hired someone to be a matchmaker a long time ago, and Zhang Dian is a ready-made candidate. By now, he is already a seven-rank court official, and there are only two or three hundred ministers on his head, which is inevitably a bit snobbish. also asked Wang Shao to be a matchmaker, didn't this force Wang Shao to no longer marry his own family?
"Chudao, did you say something to the prince?" Han Gang asked suddenly.
The smile on Wang Hou's face froze suddenly, and he coughed dryly twice, looking around. Han Gang shook his head and sighed, looking at his appearance, most of them accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth, otherwise he had not been able to fool in front of Wang Anshi.
Although because Han Gang's former wife, that is, Wang Hou's cousin, had died of the epidemic, the two families had no in-law contact for the time being. But this news was not spread on either side, and Han Gang even warned his parents about it. The outside world thinks that Han Gang and Wang Shao are still related, so for more than a year, Han Gang's side has been very clean, and no one has come to the door to be a matchmaker.
But Wang Anshi entrusted Wang Hou with a letter this time, and asked Wang Shao to take him to Han Gang to propose marriage. It would be impossible to say that he didn't inquire about Han Gang's marriage in advance. And Wang Hou happened to be right in front of him, grabbed the article, and exposed the bottom.
Wang Hou was a little embarrassed by Han Gang, and asked unhappily: "Brother Fool is here to ask Yukun what you think." ”
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this matter shouldn't be asked to the younger brother, right?" Han Gang kicked the ball back again, "I don't know what the bachelor thinks?" ”
"Didn't Jia Yan let the foolish brother come and ask Yukun about you?" Wang Hou also asked a rhetorical question, the ball was kicked around, but he refused to say Wang Shao's attitude.
However, it was enough for Han Gang, and Wang Hou's rhetorical question confirmed his speculation.
If Wang Shao was happy that Wang Anshi was so stabbed, he would come directly to Han Qianliu to help the prime minister be a matchmaker, which was also a way to get closer to Wang Anshi. Now it is the attitude of letting his son come to investigate Han Gang, most of them are unwilling to accept it, but it is inconvenient to excuse it.
Wang Hou didn't stare at Han Gang's expression. He understands Han Gang, others are not right-hearted, but Han Gang is wrong-hearted. The change in his expression has never had anything to do with what he thinks. There is the danger of mountains and rivers in the heart, and the strictness of the city in the chest, these two sentences are just right to describe Han Gang. If it weren't for the fact that Han Gang was still upright and not a sinister person, such a character would definitely have to hide.
Wang Hou was just waiting for Han Gang's answer.
"If it's a marriage, the daughter of the Xianggong family is indeed a good choice," Han Gang paused slightly, "But I don't want to fall into Shen Cunzhong's fate." ”
Speaking of Shen Kuo, Wang Hou couldn't help but laugh and laughed: "With Yukun's means, even if you marry the princess, the grape trellis at home will not fall." ”
Han Gang also smiled. The joke of the grape trellis is still what he said to Wang Hou.
Although the war was over, after Wang Zhongzheng and Wang Hou escorted Mu Zheng to the capital, Wang Hou was the only one who returned. And Cai Xi, Lu Dafang and others also left early. However, Shen Kuo, who served as a transshipment with the army, still stayed in Xihe and served as a writer in the Economic Strategy Division. Han Gang also corresponded frequently with Shen Kuo, and they both witnessed each other academically, and they couldn't help but feel a little tired of seeing each other. However, with the contact with Shen Kuo, Han Gang also knew something about the situation in his family.
Occasionally, when he went to the yamen, he saw the unconcealed finger and claw bruises on Shen Kuo's face, Han Gang couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Shen Kuo had such a great reputation in history - because he married the right person. But marrying a wife in Germany can make her husband a philosopher's wife, and Han Gang doesn't want it.
Knowing Han Gang's intentions, Wang Hou's mood relaxed. Speaking of which, he also wants to become in-laws with Han Gang, but if he wants to blame, he has to blame that there is no more suitable candidate in his family, if he chooses the wrong person, it will be his in-laws who become enemies.
"It seems that Yukun is going to push it off. However, the tutor of the prime minister's family is also good, and the little lady Wang should not be as fierce as the Hun family in Shen Cunzhong. ”
“…… What do you think?! ”
"Originally, I wanted to be an in-law with Yukun. I only sigh that there is no suitable candidate in the clan now, but it is not too late for you and I to have children in the future. As for now, Brother Yu thinks that Yukun you still became the prime minister's son-in-law first. Thinking about Fu Yanguo and Feng Dangshi, Yukun will most likely be able to be a prime minister in the future. ”
I see. Han Gang finally understood. Wang Shao didn't want Han Gang to marry Wang Anshi, maybe he had already thought of estrangement from the New Party, but Wang Hou had other ideas - it was common for his son to have different ideas from Lao Tzu.
However, no matter what Wang Shao's father and son think, marriage is Han Gang's own business, the Han family's business, not the Wang family's business, and it is he who is in charge: "After the younger brother is admitted to the Jinshi, if he doesn't even have a Jinshi background, how can the younger brother have the face to welcome the daughter of the prime minister's family." ”
One sentence delayed the prime minister's family's proposal, and after a few more days, it was finally time for Wang Shao to leave Xihe.
In order to see Wang Shao off, led by Gao Zunyu, the officials in Xihe Road basically arrived.
Because of Wang Shao's departure, the Empress Dowager's uncle will stay in Xihe for the time being. He will temporarily take charge of the military inside and outside the Xihe River as the deputy chief of soldiers and horses. However, it is impossible for a military general to stay in the position of a strategic envoy for a long time, and he will soon let Xian go. Unless Gao Zunyu can rise to Guo Kui's status—after a term in power, all local official positions are qualified—he will only be able to taste the taste of the Jingluo envoy once in a while.
After Gao Zunyu, Miao Zhu and Han Gang led hundreds of officials along the way to send each other. The cavalry that marched out of the city easily exceeded a thousand horses, which was far from being comparable in the old days.
Today's Longxi Horse Market, there are more than ten horses per day. It's summer! Generally speaking, when the horse market actually opens, it will wait until after the seventh lunar month, that is, the season of high autumn horse fat. In less than three months from the end of July to the middle of October last year, an average of forty or fifty good horses were delivered in the Longxi Horse Market every day, and at least one-third of them could be used as combat horses.
Cities, officials, generals, soldiers, in the past few years, the achievements created by Wang Shao are here.
Standing on the shore of Weishui, looking back at the mountains and rivers of the Xi River, the new scholar of the Guanwen Palace narrowed his eyes. There was no expression of joy and sorrow, and his eyes were deeply constricted, making it impossible to see what was going on in his heart.
"I guess I'm a little reluctant......
Han Gang thought in his heart. Maybe the next time Wang Shao comes back, maybe it will be when Xihe Road is full of beacons, and he will be transferred back in order to fight the fire.
Wang Shao's success has driven the ambition of the world's border ministers.
Zhang Dan's operation to recover Jing Man has not yet begun, and the Southwest Yi side is about to start again. The DPRK sent a court official to Zizhou and Kuizhou as an envoy, the purpose of which was to disobey the barbarians of the king. Although it is not yet the core, as the backbone of the New Party, Kumamoto, he was sent to the southwest, which shows that the New Party is no longer eager to make contributions because of Wang Shao's success.
Wang Shao expanded the land for the Great Song Dynasty for 2,000 miles, and since Zhenzong, Bian Gong has been headed by this. But it is not without trouble, many people are worried that from now on, there will be no peace in the surrounding areas of the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing the success of the Xihe Economic Strategy Division, the officials who intended to emulate it did not know how many. The best example is Zhangdun, who targeted Jinghu Shanman, as is Kumamoto, who traveled to the southwest and visited Zizhou Road and Kuizhou Road. The border ministers who guarded Hehuang and Hengshan were likely to provoke wars for the sake of meritorious service. Even Dali and Cochin in the south have a chance to become the next hot spot.
If the court can't stop it early, sooner or later it will suffer a big loss in the good deeds of the border ministers. Although he didn't have the ability to prophesy, and he couldn't search for relevant history from his memory, Han Gang could completely deduce the most difficult outcome from the current situation.
However, Wang Shao left, and the feast of Xihe was temporarily over. There is not much grain in the warehouses of the military states under the jurisdiction of Qin Feng's transfer division, and even if the envoy who comes to take over has any ambitions, he must first wait until the things that fill his stomach can be ready.
Gao Zunyu led the crowd to send Wang Shao out of ten miles, and Han Gang personally sent Wang Shao out of ten miles. Recommended in the recklessness, a few years of acquaintance, he should also send more rides.
Looking back, he couldn't see the city of Longxi, Wang Shao turned his horse back, "Send thousands of miles away, and you must say goodbye in the end." Yukun, stop here......"
Han Gang smiled freely, and did not care about being a child, and responded with his hand: "Half a year later, Han Gang will go to the capital to meet the bachelor." ”
Wang Shao laughed loudly: "Just wait for Yukun to come." ”
Seeing Wang Shao's team go away, the billowing dust and smoke gradually drifted away.
Han Gang turned around and looked towards the upper reaches of Weishui, which was walking through the mountains. The important town of Longxi has been hidden in the depths of the mountains. In the scorching world, there were only Han Gang and his personal soldiers around him for a while.
With a flick of the horsewhip and a scolding, the war horse under Han Gang's crotch galloped out with him. Galloping like a dragon, the dragon horse sent by Bao Shun quickly left his own soldiers far behind.
In the sound of horses' hooves, Han Gang rode alone and galloped towards Longxi.
