"Yukun, I heard that you are discussing marriage with Zheng Guogong's family?"

On this day, Han Gang happened to rest. He spent a day at home reviewing the manuscript of the new issue of Nature, without thinking about court affairs. But in the evening, the king ran over and asked.

Wang asked recklessly, but Han Gang didn't care, and shook his head: "The eight characters haven't been matched yet, it's still early." ”

Since Han Gang said so, there is.

However, this marriage was not Han Gang's initiative to contact Fu Bi. He is not so anxious about the lifelong events of his children. is not yet ten years old, and it may not be possible to guarantee that it will be executed in the future, just like the family business that Wang Shao set as a matchmaker back then. The previous marriage contract with Su Ziyuan and Wang Hou was caused by the situation, not deliberately.

Marriage also depends on the temperament of the children, and those who want to read find a poetry and book heirloom Yue's family. If you prefer military affairs, you can find an ordinary family so that it is convenient to lead the army. And the son who is not outstanding at both ends of the civil and military ends, and can only guard the door, find a daughter of a high-ranking eunuch, so that he will not suffer among his brothers. It could not have been agreed so early.

Wang sat down next to him, "It just so happens that you are discussing marriage with Yukun, and Zheng Guogong's luck is also good." ”

"It's just a coincidence, I didn't expect this turmoil at the beginning."

"So it's luck."

Fu Bi's son-in-law is Feng Jing, and Feng Jing's son-in-law is Cai Wei.

If you go through the normal judicial process, of course, you won't be able to bring in Fubi with you. It's a pity that in such cases, politics has always decided everything. Now that the New Party is in power, if you want to burn the fire, you have to burn it to Luoyang. Such a good opportunity will not cut off the old party.

When Han Gang had discussed marriage with Fu Bi before, of course, it was impossible to predict that there would be a rebellion this time. It's just that among the many elders in Luoyang, only Fu Bi is more valued and respected by Han Gang. And the family style of the Fu Bi family, among many elders, is also more praised.

The great families of poetry and books are generally excellent marriage partners. The Nanfeng Zeng family, the Jinjiang Lu family, or the Fan Wenzheng Fan Zhongyan family, which are frequently entered, are often more favored than the prime minister's family when discussing marriage. In the prime minister's family, compared with the rich family, Lingshou, Anyang Erhan, and Jiexiu Wen's family are much worse. Not to mention the Lu family, which is the same township as Han Gang.

For example, East Lyru. The grievances between Lu Yijian and the Qingli Party can be ignored because of the long period of time. But before Chen Shiru's mother murder case, the granddaughter of the Lu family actually killed her husband's biological mother, no matter how many reasons there are, it is impossible to justify. And Lu Jia asked, as the nephew of Lu Gongzhu and Lu Gongbi, he betrayed the family and became a family thief, which can also show how bad the relationship between the main branch and the branch of the Lu family is. Even the children in the clan are not well educated, and the style of the two families of Lu Gongzhu and Lu Gongbi is not as upright as they seem.

Leaving the matter of the Lu family, Han Gang asked, "Has your eldest brother settled?" ”

Wang Bi shook his head: "It's still early, how old is it?" ”

"That's right. If you want to discuss relatives, the key is to look at character and character. If the child is too young to see anything, it is better to wait until he is older. ”

If you marry a wife and marry the wrong Hun, you will be ruined for the rest of your life. Not to mention others, Shen Kuo's family is the best negative teacher.

"It's a pity that Yukun, you don't have a second daughter in your family. Otherwise, with Yukun's style of your family, my eldest brother will definitely be looking for Yukun's daughter of your family. ”

"Humble family, where did the wind come from? There is a wind in the hall. ”

"Isn't there a second sister in charge? Naturally, don't worry. ”

The king came to inquire about the news, and after sitting for a while, he took his leave.

After the king left, Su Xin came into the study and asked Han Gang: "Official, but are you going to sleep?" ”

Han Gang shook his head, the matter of discussing relatives can be put aside for a while, the more important thing is the recent promotion in front of him, "I have to wait a minute." It's almost time for He Ju to come. ”

……………………

"The head of next season's meeting is finally decided, and it is the Marquis of Boling."

It had been two days since He Ju arrived at the Han Mansion, but as soon as he got through, he was immediately led to the study, where Han Gang was still waiting for his news.

Han Gang handed over a cup of tea with his own hand, "It's been two days, but it's hard enough." ”

The big shopkeeper of SF Xing in Beijing took the teacup with great gratitude, and said with a smile: "It's still Guogong's idea, otherwise it won't come out in twenty days." ”

Han Gang shook his head, it was a little too early to call him that. He has not yet agreed to be the Duke of Qi, and the edict is still returned between the palace and the Han Mansion.

In Han Gang's heart, one Lai Guogong is enough. But he has made such a great contribution, and the court does not reward him generously, and it is unreasonable to say it. Anyway, whether it is Qi Guogong or Lai Guogong, it is all virtual, and it doesn't matter if you do it.

Han Gang has such an attitude, which is different from insisting on resignation from time to time, and it is easy to distinguish it. Knowing Han Gang's thoughts, in the past two days, more people began to call him the Duke of the Kingdom. But in a few days, it is estimated that no one will call him that anymore - when it comes to dignity, there is no one in the court who is as good as Zaizhi, that is, the respect of the prince, and when he sees the prime minister, he must salute first.

"I thought it would be the Marquis of Yangquan, but I didn't expect it to be Queen Zhang Yi's house."

He Ju sighed and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is hanging the curtain, who dares to choose someone from the family?" ”

Although it is said that the Zhao family is the son of heaven, after all, they are the blood of Taizong, and the descendants of Emperor Taizu will be the head of the meeting, and no one will worry. But Yangquan Marquis Xiang Shaofeng, but the uncle and brother of the Empress Dowager Xiang, who dares to let him get involved in the affairs and finances of the meeting? If he becomes greedy, no one in the meeting will be able to suppress him.

At the beginning, there were indeed a number of people who wanted to flatter him, and Yangquanhou also got the highest number of votes. But as the rounds of election continued, the candidates were eliminated one after another, and more and more votes were concentrated on his opponent Bo Linghou, and the last one was the Li family.

He Ju still sighed: "If it is still the Marquis of Huaiyin to do it, no one has anything to say." ”

Raising his eyes and seeing the smiling expression on Han Gang's face, He Ju touched a piece of black green on his face and sighed, "The villain understands, the villain understands, who made him a clan." ”

It is precisely because of the rebellion of Qi that the court went up and down to see the clan, and everyone looked like a rebel, so that now all the clans have to clamp their tails.

Zhao Shijiang, the Marquis of Huayin, who has been the leader of the horse racing league since its inception, announced five days before the election that he would not participate in the next season's head election.

If it is just horse racing and betting, such a clan has always been the most appreciated by the imperial court. But during the period when Zhao Shijiang was the head of the meeting, he used his income to fund a large number of clans, and even influenced many clansmen who participated in the two major leagues to help the clansmen.

Among them, many of them are children surnamed Zhao who have lost the qualification to leave their names in Taimiao because of Wang Anshi's clan law. can get an extra amount of money every month, although some distant branch clans even only have one or two incomes, but the virtue of emergency relief makes Zhao Shijiang have a high status in the hearts of many clans. It's just to tempt his children to gamble, which makes his reputation in Shilin very bad.

With the support of the clan alone, without the approval of the scholars, it is not very taboo for Zhao Shijiang to do this. And if he is to be prevented from funding the clan, then the imperial court must come up with real money as compensation. So although this matter is often mentioned, to this day, it is still Zhao Shijiang

Therefore, Zhao Shijiang's withdrawal made the general election of the head office, which originally had no suspense, suddenly chaotic. All at once, six people were going to run in the elections.

It has always been Zhao Shijiang who was elected as the head of the horse racing club with a high vote, and last year he even voted unanimously. But in this election, the highest of the six candidates has only 30% support.

In the first few votes, the support of all parties may have changed, but the highest person still did not reach 50% of the vote. And with the continuous heating up of the election, all parties have also moved the real fire, although it has not yet reached the situation of making a mess in the parliament of the later generations, but it has begun to throw teacups, melons and fruits, He Ju is now a piece of black blue on his face, which was injured by mistake.

Seeing that this would definitely attract tigers and wolves outside, many neutral factions said that they had moved to ask Han Gang for ideas. They also believe that now that the court is about to start electing Jaesuke, Han Gang will not sit idly by and watch his proposed election for the head of the horse racing society turn into a joke.

As they wished, Han Gang came up with a trick, and the method he gave was extremely common in later generations.

If no elector receives more than half of the votes in an election, the elector with the fewest votes must withdraw and the next round of the election will proceed. And so on and so on until someone gets more than half of the votes and is elected.

In fact, the opinions given by Han Gang were not raised by no one when they were controversial before, but they lacked enough authority to promote their own opinions. It wasn't until after Hangang spoke that the Fourth Amendment to the Horse Racing League General Covenant was passed by a large majority - after obtaining two-thirds of the votes, the League Covenant could be supplemented and amended, and 80% of the votes agreed to the amendment, which was definitely more than enough. At the same time, this is also an amendment to Article 1 regarding the election of the head of the association, in addition to the system of distribution of horse ticket proceeds and promotion and promotion.

"It's the last thing to worry about." He Ju smiled and said, "You can go back with peace of mind." ”

"The head office will arrange it, don't worry about anything."

He Ju has been in Beijing for a long time, and if he stays for another two years, Kaifeng will become his own place, which Han Gang and Feng Congyi don't want to see.

He Ju nodded: "The villain understands." ”

After saying a few more words, He Ju got up and said goodbye.

After waiting for a long time, Han Gang finally felt at ease.

The head of the horse racing society was elected, and many people in the capital were staring at it. Although there were twists and turns at the beginning, it ended smoothly in the end, and I think many people's minds will change a little.

The sound of the drums came with the wind, and listening to the sound, it was already the second day after the third watch.

The news from Luoyang should almost arrive in the capital. Han Gang did not have a good impression of the Luoyang elders, but he never doubted their political wisdom — to be exact, the wisdom of politicians. Han Gang believes that they will find a path that suits their interests.

There are still two days left before Jaefu's promotion.
