Chapter 48: A Glimpse of the Red Sun (24)
"Brother Xiaoyi, what did you say Han Xianggong was going to do when he summoned Wang Taiwei back?"
Ren Quan's two feet moved back and forth quickly, and the stack of zhangshu in his hand looked three feet tall and crumbling. He looked at the road ahead with one eye and Zhang Shu with the other, in case he fell, and he didn't forget to talk to his companion in his mouth.
Although he was only a new official under the Zhongshu Sect, three months was enough for Ren Quan to master the skills of distraction.
"We're just little cousins, what the hell are we doing?"
Ren Quan's companion, known as Brother Xiaoyi, is also a newcomer, and he is also holding a three-foot-tall chapter Shu with nearly 100 copies, and he is also talking while walking, but because of his height, he can't see the front, so he has to look at his hand with one eye, hook Ren Quan with one eye, and follow Ren Quan.
"We don't have to worry about military affairs, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. This book is under the door......"
Ren Quan was talking, his toes stumbled suddenly, and he stumbled two steps with a scream, but the person didn't fall, but Zhang Shu in his hand fell to the ground.
"It's okay." Brother Xiao Yi turned his head with difficulty and asked Ren Quan, "Where did you fall?" β
"It's all up, and I don't know how to knock it back." Ren Quan touched the ground on his toes, gasping in pain, "How can this plague-stricken Xianggong go back to the house, and he is not even familiar with the road!" Brother Yi, you ......"
"Silence." Brother Xiao Yi suddenly kicked Ren Quan, quickly bent down and put down the chapter he was holding, and picked up the scattered chapters, and did not forget to glare at Ren Quan, and lowered his voice: "Quickly clean up!" β
Ren Quan was struggling when he saw a group of people coming towards him.
As soon as he saw the person who was the first to start, Ren Quan's face also turned blue. I couldn't feel the pain in my feet anymore, squatted down, and hurriedly picked up Zhang Shu on the ground.
When the group walked in front of them, although there were still dozens of chapters that they hadn't picked up, Ren Quan and the others quickly flashed to the side of the road, hanging their heads, not daring to look aside.
There were five or six people in the line, and they only paused when they saw the music on the ground, and then without saying a word, they bypassed the two of them.
After the group walked a little farther, Ren Quan finally relaxed his stiff body, and the heart that hung in his throat also fell back - fortunately, he was not taken care of.
Pushing his companion with his elbow, Ren Quan whispered, "Who is that, who actually worked the second son." β
Brother Xiao Yi stared at his eyes, opened his mouth, and looked at the backs of the group, "Why is it just the second son who came out to greet him?" β
"What kind of extravagant character is it?"
Han Ergongzi led the way in front, and the one he guided was not wearing an official robe and could not distinguish his identity, but Ren Quan looked at his bearing, and then listened to the tone of his companions, he must be an old and senior dignitary.
"Who? Feng Xianggong, the leader of the three yuan! Brother Xiao Yi sneered in a low voice, "I only sent the second son to greet him, and Han Xianggong really didn't give him any face." β
"Feng Xianggong of the Three Yuan Chiefs?" Ren Quan's brain went around in a circle, and then he remembered the former prime minister who was now in Beijing, "Didn't you say that Feng Xianggong had harmed Han Xianggong?" is still the in-law of the traitor, Han Xianggong is willing to see him, and he is already very embarrassed. Brother Xiaoyi, do you think this is the reason? β
Feng Jing was also in charge of the political affairs hall, and he was far older than Han Gang, and now he also has the title of prime minister, so it is not an exaggeration for Han Gang to go out to greet him.
But it is rumored outside that this Feng Xianggong has a long-standing grudge with Han Xianggong, and he also framed Han Xianggong back then, but Han Xianggong just didn't go out to greet him, what kind of humiliation is this?
"Well, that's right."
Seeing that his companion nodded in agreement, Ren Quan glanced at Feng Jing's back again, then squatted down and picked up the pieces on the ground one by one, but there was an extra smile of excitement on his buried face.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Although the little officials under the Zhongshu Sect felt that Han Gang's actions were no problem, in the eyes of the parties, they were rude to the extreme.
If it is under the Zhongshu Gate, the imperial court, Han Gang is respected as the prime minister, and it is not rude to greet him only by demoting the ranks.
But now this is in Han Gang's private residence, the former prime minister with longer qualifications and more respected status visited, Han Gang did not greet him, only let his son greet him, if he didn't have to see Han Gang, Feng Jing was already in front of the gate, he already wanted to leave with his sleeves up.
Following behind Han Gang's son, every brick and tile, grass and tree along the way made the memories of the old days float from the unknown depths, and the buildings and furnishings that had not changed much basically reminded Feng Jing of the time when he was at the peak of his life.
More than ten years ago, this was Feng Jing's mansion. It was originally the county king's mansion, but it was empty for more than ten years after being recovered, and was given to the newly appointed Feng Jing by Emperor Xizong.
At that time, the house was dilapidated due to more than ten years of vacancy. Feng Jing wasted a lot of effort to renovate his prime minister's mansion.
The wooden soles of the official boots, on the bluestone slab, emitted a clear sound of tuk-tuk. This is a stone from the depths of Taihang Mountain, for more than ten years, every day there are hundreds of officials, servants, walking on these bluestone slabs, but so far there is almost no defect.
The laurel tree around the corner is lush. After more than ten years, it has grown to the height of two people, and just looking at the green leaves like jade, you can imagine the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the fragrance of ten miles of fragrance. This was moved from Jiang Xia's home, and Feng Jing planted it in this mansion with his own hands.
The glazed tiles on the painting hall are from the famous kiln in Ruzhou; The girder in the hall comes from the top of the Qinling Mountains; The backyard garden is from the hands of famous craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River; The deep well in the house was dug by the well master who resolved the great drought in Beijing.
Every detail of this mansion is full of Feng Jing's mental strength.
The young man became famous, three yuan and the first, married the daughter of the prime minister twice, and the officialdom was soaring all the way, Feng Jing at that time was sure that he could live in this mansion for many years, even if he went out for a while, he would soon be able to come back - according to the custom, the prime minister gave the first, and after the prime minister went out, he would be vacant for a few years without others, so that he could still live in the same place after recovery.
It's just that Feng Jing didn't live here for a long time after all, and was kicked out of Jingshi within two years, and traveled through places for more than ten years, but he never recovered again.
Many years after Feng Jing stepped down, the mansion finally ushered in a new owner, and the new prime minister not only moved into the mansion in a grand manner, but also merged a large mansion next to it, which occupied more than half the size of Feng Jing's residence here.
The nameless fire grew brighter and brighter.
Wen Yanbo's previous words came to Feng Jing's mind one by one.
"Han Gang will definitely not object, he will retire after only five years, and who will have the military power after that? Chapter! He is relieved to hand over his life to Zhang Dian? β
"How many more years can I do it? Decade! Ten years later, no matter who hands the military power is handed over, will he rest assured that he will be put in his own hands? β
"Since Zhang Han can't serve in Dongfu for a long time, then they are fighting for the military power of Zhongshu, that is, making wedding clothes for others, with Zhang Han's cunning, how can they be so confused?"
As Wen Yanbo said, Feng Jing was also sure that Han Gang would definitely divide the military power in the end, otherwise, if he left the throne in five years, why would he have to check and balance Zhang Dian again?!
Han Gang will certainly agree to divide some of his military power and continue to use the Great Council to check and balance the prime ministerβeven if it is annoying for a while, but it will benefit from it in the future.
That's when it really began, though.
Thinking of the last conversation with Wen Yanbo, the fire in Feng Jing's heart gradually dissipated, and the eyes cast at Han Gang's sister-in-law also had a little more condescending pity.
Han Gang is surprisingly good and loves surprisingly, very similar to his benefactor Wang Shao, and even better than the blue, the past few encounters are to make Han Gang win by surprise.
But this time, Han Gang was surprisingly dead, and he couldn't complain that someone wanted to push him behind the back.
So, first of all, I have to talk to Han Gang.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Feng Jing left and went to Han Gang's mansion.
After a long conversation with Feng Jing, Wen Yanbo's body was consumed a lot, but Wen Yanbo did not rest, but instead stood by the stream in the back garden on crutches, watching the fish swimming at the bottom of the water.
"Your Excellency is worried about Feng Dangshi?"
After Wen Jifu came back, he had already stood with Wen Yanbo for half an hour, and when he saw that his father had not moved, he carefully guessed the reason.
"Worried about what he's doing?" Wen Yanbo didn't move, "Won't Han Gang push the boat down the river?" β
"Han Gang is as cunning as a fox, but Feng Jing is a little confused, and his son is afraid that he will show his flaws."
"Flaws?" Wen Yanbo finally raised his head and looked at Wen Jifu, "What flaws can there be?" β
His own thoughts, as well as the words that instigated Feng Jing, whether it was the second, sixth or ninth, should not know too much. But these three sons, after all, are by their side, and they may be able to guess a little bit.
Wen Jifu got closer, "Han Gang is cocooning himself, the adult has always been loyal to the country, how can he be complicit with him?" β
Wen Yanbo lowered his head again, his eyes followed the flexible red carp in the water, and he only whispered, "If the king is not secret, he will lose his country, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body." β
Wen Jifu's face flashed with joy, and he also lowered his voice, "Do the second brother and the ninth brother know?" β
Wen Yanbo sighed and did not answer.
Their own sons are all mediocre, and letting them hold too much power is like a child holding a sledgehammer, not hurting others, but hurting themselves. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of extermination.
Therefore, Wen Yanbo never dared to reveal the slightest bit to the children in his family.
However, the sixth child can see through it by himself, which also makes Wen Yanbo feel very relieved.
can pull generals from the dwarf, why bother recruiting generals from outside. Instead of going to great lengths to make wedding clothes for others, the children and grandchildren can only get a few benefits, and they leave all the benefits to their children and grandchildren, which makes Wen Yanbo even more happy.
It's just that Wen Yanbo is not at ease, although Wen Jifu is stronger than his brother, he may not be able to take the helm in the turbulence in the future, "Sixth brother, let you see, Zhang and Han Erxiang, who is more important?" β
"Han Gang is the most important." Wen Jifu didn't hesitate: "A qiΔ law is all from Han Gang." As long as Han Gang has a fixed opinion, Zhang Dian can only back down. If it weren't for Han Gang's need for Zhang Dian to stabilize the new party, how could Zhang Gang be in power for ten years? β
"If you want to break the current situation, where should you start?"
"Chamberlain?"
Wen Yanbo put his mind at ease, one of his sons is quite smart after all, "It's the inner servant." β
In today's situation, the key but neglected party is the palace attendant.
The power of the eunuchs came from the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven is arbitrary, then they can be wreaking havoc, and if the Son of Heaven is weak, then they will have no chance of coming out.
Xizong was in the rising sun, and every move in the world was reported to the Son of Heaven by him. In addition to the inspection, the DPRK and the Central People's Affairs, the Eun Temple are all with them, there are those who lead the army, there are those who transport, there are those who build, and there are also those who gather. In the 100 years since the founding of the country, the internal service in Xifeng is the most rampant.
The prestige of the eunuchs in the past left a Wang Zhongzheng. The high festival envoy is now seducing all the eunuchs in the palace. But once Wenchen takes charge, how will the eunuchs come out?
The power of the army is clear, and the inner servant is dark.
If you want to overturn the current situation, you have to fight for this light and darkness.
Thankfully, it's not that hard.
If there is a chance, Wen Yanbo is the hero and benefactor of the Tianshui Zhao family to set things right, and since then, the Wen family is a wealthy family that really rests with the country, and the Xiangzhou Han family in the township and county is not enough.
Even if there is no chance, as long as the military power is in hand, the Wen family can still maintain its wealth for a long time.
As soon as he said nothing, Wen Jifu didn't need his father to say much, "That son will have to make friends with Han Gang Duoduo in the future." β
"It's not you, it's the Father." Wen Yanbo shook his head, how can his son be qualified to make friends with Han Gang, and how can he make Han Gang gain trust, only he has this ability, "Now that the southerners are full of courts, it is difficult to see the northerners. Han Yukun is already the only surviving northerner prime minister, if his father doesn't support him, who can he support? β
