[This is the first update, and there are two more, one chapter tomorrow morning, and one chapter at noon.] 】

"It is not surprising that mothers miss their dead children, children miss their parents, and they are so sad that they become delirious." Han Gang smiled, "I didn't see Emperor Yingzong, and I was so sad in front of Renzong Zi Palace that I couldn't afford to be seriously ill?" We are waiting for courtiers to be considerate. ”

Zhang's eyes widened suddenly, he took two deep breaths, and shook his head again. Talking to Han Gang, sometimes you do have to be patient and self-contained.

The thirteen lang of Puwangfu, who succeeded Emperor Renzong, what kind of filial son and grandson he was, no one in the court knew what kind of filial son and grandson he was. However, Han Gang took Emperor Yingzong as an example, and he also made it clear that Zhao Shu's bad things in front of Renzongzi Palace could be suppressed, could it be that the madness of the Empress Dowager could not be suppressed? At that time, there were still many ministers who complained for Renzong, and Fu Bi could say about Yiyin's affairs and ministers to his face, but now, which important minister would stand on the side of the Empress Dowager?

"Yukun, what about ten years from now?" Zhang Dian stopped beating around the corner, "Have you ever thought about what kind of situation will be after the Son of Heaven is in power!" ”

How could it not have been thought of?!

Even though the little emperor seemed to have a grudge against Han Gang before, he maintained that attitude until he was pro-government, and at most he only invited Han Gang out of the capital. But now that something like this has happened, once he can control the big government, normal emperors will kill people to vent their anger, and they will also suppress the world's speech, and investigate those who dare to talk about the cause of Emperor Xizong's death.

Han Gang thought for a moment and was about to speak.

"Yukun!" Zhang Duan interrupted.

His face was cold, his eyes were cold, and his excited voice was also cold, "Don't tell me that the official family is smart and wise, it must be a Ming Jun, not so; Don't say anything to let the son of the Son of Heaven ascend the throne, let the Son of Heaven be the emperor, how many villains are waiting for that opportunity, and will let you act obediently. Not to mention what to say to let the Queen Mother listen to the government, the life span is set in a few days, how sure are you? ”

Han Gang shook his head: "Brother Zihou." If you talk about predicting the longevity of people, the younger brother has no half. Is there really a need to worry about 10 years from now, though? ”

Han Gang's attitude was more sincere, and he was able to say such rebellious words in front of him, which showed that Zhang Dian was already in his heart, but it also showed the uneasiness in his heart.

Of course, Han Gang knew what the Zaifu, including Zhang Tun, would think now.

At that time, he strongly advocated recruiting important ministers into the palace, which can be said to have ruined the only opportunity to abolish the Son of Heaven.

The so-called conspiracy cannot be decided by everyone. As long as there are many people, those extreme opinions will not be accepted, and the most mediocre and contented decisions will prevail in the end. When the Empress Dowager sent an attendant to recruit important ministers above the service system into the palace, the Zaifu lost their opportunity to control the court.

If it weren't for Han Gang's hand, only the Zaifu would be in the palace, and no one could say whether there would be any variables in the future. Undisturbed and calm thinking, I am afraid that everyone can think of what is the most advantageous, although at that time most people thought that everyone would share the disaster in the future, but it was actually safer to directly abolish the emperor.

The lost opportunity will not come back. In a hurry, he was led to a path with no future in sight, and at least most of the people in Zaisuke were worried about the future disaster to their children and grandchildren. However, Zhang Dian is not here to settle accounts after the autumn now, but wants to find out Han Gang's thoughts.

"Yukun said. The foolish brother listened attentively. Zhang Dan said.

If you want to elevate the Son of Heaven, only the ministers are united, otherwise the emperor above can pull one faction and fight another. It was the same when the Son of Heaven was abolished, since Han Gang was the first to take a stand and support Zhao Xu, then the Zai Fu had no other choice. With Han Gang here, no one is sure to convince the Queen Mother, not to mention that there must be a Wang Anshi behind her. As for the future, Zhang Dian is naturally worried in his heart, but he has already admitted the reality and has no intention of pursuing it. It's just that he hopes that Han Gang can have a satisfactory explanation.

"Before I say that, the younger brother wants to ask Brother Zihou, what is the emperor?"

Zhang Dian frowned slightly, but he still patiently opened the topic with Han Gang: "Emperor, the Son of Heaven also." Virtue and three emperors, five emperors. The First Emperor did it. ”

"Son of Heaven? Heaven has no sons. Presumably Brother Zihou, you also understand that the so-called celestial and human induction is just a means used by Dong Zhongshu to restrain the reckless behavior of the Son of Heaven. Holding a telescope and looking at the sky, the number of stars is thousands of times that of the star map. What are the countless stars outside the Zhou Tian Xingguan of the Twenty-Eight Nights of the Three Walls? ”

"Yukun. Does it matter? ”

"Yes!" Han Gang nodded, "Huaxia owns Kyushu, and its land is only in the north and south of the Yellow River for three generations. West to Longyou, east to the sea, north but Yanshan, south not to the outside of the ridge. Among Yugong, Kyushu is so big. The world is said to belong to the king's land, but the land owned by Kyushu is less than one percent of the earth. In the west of the Western Regions, there are countless countries. ”

"Foolish brother understands what you mean." Zhang Dian is extremely intelligent, Han Gang said this, can he still understand, "Wen Yanbo is old and confused, he hasn't done a good thing since the change, but he has a good saying, for the sake of ruling the world with scholars." That's what it means, right? ”

"Almost." Han Gang nodded, "We, scholars, should treat His Majesty with common sense. ”

The so-called 'under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers', but it is just a big conch. The Son of Heaven is not the Son of Heaven, but a mortal, and the land under heaven does not naturally belong to him, but depends on people to help him conquer it.

Zhang Dan's brows furrowed tightly: "Yukun, how do I feel that you are making excuses?" ”

It is indeed an excuse.

If that day really wants to re-establish a new king. For the sake of their own interests, the people who are promoted by the Zaifu will never be a young child, and they will inevitably choose Changjun. Otherwise, let the Empress Dowager hang the curtain for ten years and then return to politics, how can they be at ease in the face of the pro-government emperor? In ten years, all kinds of kindness will be consumed. Even if the emperor wants to recite the merits of supporting the establishment, he will not let them stay in the court.

Empress Dowager Xiang could not continue to listen to the government, which hurt the interests of Empress Dowager Xiang, and also hurt Han Gang's interests, and it was not conducive to his promotion of qi. In this case, it is better to keep Zhao Xu in the position. There are benefits now, and the unfavorable future can be reversed.

"Brother Zihou still remembers this sentence? The Son of Heaven is the one who is strong and strong. ”

Zhang Den's previous words were rebellious enough, but Han Gang was even better than him.

Zhang Dian stood up, pointed at Han Gang, and said sharply: "Yukun, what are you thinking?!" ”

What did Chapters want? It's just an auxiliary king, who is in the world and shows his talents. The merit of supporting the establishment is just a matter of taking advantage of the situation, and the situation dictates it. Zhang Dian was self-disciplined and taught, and never thought of opposing the imperial power.

"Brother Zihou, don't think too much. The so-called heavenly heart is nothing but the human heart. That was the matter of five seasons, and now that the Great Song Dynasty has been founded for one hundred and thirty years, hundreds of millions of people have identified the Zhao official family, and the country is flourishing, who can oppose it? The wise do not. ”

The dynasty that lasted for more than 100 years, and the emperor who sat on the throne could naturally get the submission of his courtiers. People all over the world take this for granted. The important ministers want to elevate the emperor, which is equivalent to walking on a single-plank bridge, and if they are not careful, they will fall down. The danger is too high, and the benefits are too small, it is better to support an emperor and enjoy three generations of glory to save trouble.

Depending on the position, you will see things from different angles. If Han Gang was now sitting in the highest position in the Daqing Palace, whoever dared to tell him to divide power would not hesitate to let anyone bargain with King Yama. But now, since he is only a minister, and it is impossible to go further, it is another way of saying it. A dynasty that is still in its heyday, whether it is a powerful minister or a rebel, is far less likely to succeed in ascending to the throne than in the last years of the dynasty.

Zhang Duan gasped a few times and sat down: "Yukun, what do you mean then?" ”

"Brother Zihou, do you know Dao Tianzhu. The clan is high, the lord and the minister of the country, each has a caste, and he is not a noble race, and the countrymen are not willing to return to it; Although he has the ability to work, he is also willing to live under the surname. ”

"Is it Shen Kuo's "Pen Talk"?"

Han Gang nodded. "In Shen Cunzhong's notes, Tianzhu's clan caste is recorded, which is very interesting. In the Tianzhu Kingdom, the Shishu was divided into four classes. Among them, the brahmins are in charge of the sacrifices, the kshari are in charge of the government, and the bishishas are the farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and as for the lowest sudas, they are servants or other lowly handymen[Note 1]. In addition to the four peoples, there are also untouchables, who are not allowed to come into contact with the nobles. ”

Zhang Dian frowned, thinking about why Han Gang wanted to mention Tianzhu's caste. I feel like I've got a clue, but it's still a little bit behind.

"Shen Cunzhong said well, the scholars are high in clans, although there are people since ancient times, but they have not tasted prosperity. However, when Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, it also brought the wind of the four yi. Therefore, Wei Jinquan is the general figure, and he first talks about the superiority of the clan. The third prince said 'anointing beam', and the servant was called 'Hua Yu'. The Shangshu, the leader, and the protector are 'A surname', Jiuqing and Fang Bo are 'B surnames', those who are free riders and Taizhong doctors are 'C surnames', and the officials are 'Ding surnames'. Those who enter are called the 'four surnames'......"

"Yukun, do you think the clan caste is good?"

"Brother Zihou, do you think I will like such a system? The little brother is irrigating the garden! If you are in Tianzhu, it will be difficult to get ahead in your life. ”

"For what kind of history is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, not into the biography, but into the family? Brother Zihou has thought about it. ”

There are many reasons, and scholars of all ages have explained them, but inferring from Han Gang's words, it is a sentence, "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?" ”

"That's right, in Han Gang's opinion, it is because of this sentence that Taishi Gong does not treat him as a minister. Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? In other words, it is natural selection and survival of the fittest. This is true not only of people, but also of grammar systems. ”

Note 1: The record of the caste system in India is from the "Mengxi Writings": only the four Yi are all noble and lowly by clan. For example, Tianzhu takes the two surnames of Kshari and Brahmin as the noble species: the rest of the self is the surname of the concubine, such as Visha and Shuda. There are four poor surnames under it, such as Gong, Qiao, Chun, and Tuo. The same is true of other nations.
