Chapter 41: Prayer for the Prosperity of the People (2)

"Not necessarily." Han Gang shook his head.

He knew what Sun Yong was talking about, it was not that Sun Yong was tired and wanted to leave, but that he Han Gang had not been in the Kaifeng Mansion for a long time.

Han Gang was familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China in the past, not only relying on letters from Wang Anshi and Wang Yan, but also Wang Shao's help. The privy deputy envoy reported the news, and Han Gang's ears and eyes could still go straight to the court.

The news that Han Jiang recommended him Han Gang as the fifth room inspection of the middle school reached Han Gang's ears in just two days.

Regarding this matter, Han Gang is not prepared to hide it from Sun Yong - his relationship with Wang Shao, who in the court will not know about it!?

Because of the matter of Luo Wucheng, Han Gang actually didn't like Han Jiang very much. However, during the period after the Xianyang city was broken and the rebels surrendered, Han Jiang was very cooperative and sent more than 3,000 Guangrui rebels to Xihe Road in batches.

With Han Jiang's power at the time, he had no problem executing all these rebels - Huanqing Road passed through a little to appease Wang Guangyuan, but at that time, he killed more than 2,000 soldiers who were said to have signs of rebellion without any evidence - but Han Jiang kept his promise, so that Xihe Road was an extremely important pillar that supports the strength of the Han people in the road today.

It is by relying on the remnants of the Guangrui Army that Han Gang has repeatedly made military exploits in the process of expanding the border of Hehuang, whether it is in Weiyuan Fort or Kenuo Fort, Han Gang's command can win several battles after the most defeat, almost all of which are the credit of the Guangrui Army. From this point on, Han Gang has to thank Han Jiang.

Han Jiang's current recommendation did not show the attitude of showing favor and retribution, but seemed to be a loyal consideration for the country, and Han Gang had to accept his favor if he couldn't say it.

In addition, Han Jiang not only recommended Han Gang as the middle book capital for inspection, but even added a sum every other day, and recommended Han Gang as the commander of the armaments. This is not in accordance with the rules, but Wang Anshi has recommended Zeng Bu in the past, and he also recommended Lu Huiqing, there is a precedent, and Han Jiang recommended Han Gang to draw a gourd in the same way, of course, there is no problem at all.

Regarding Han Jiang's recommendation of Han Gang, can Lu Huiqing object?

He couldn't.

In addition to making a fuss about age, Lu Huiqing couldn't find any reason to reject Han Gang. Whether in terms of merit, ability, or official rank, Han Gang is not inferior or even better than Lu Huiqing, who served as the chief of the Chinese book back then. At the same time, Han Gang is kind and close to the New Party, and the world sees it. Lu Huiqing can not recommend it, but when Han Jiang recommends Han Gang, he can't object to it.

Do Feng Jing and Wang Jue have any objections? Actually, no.

Feng Jing and Wang Qi are most likely happy to watch Han Jiang and Lu Huiqing fight in the ring and sit back and watch the New Party split on its own. The new party is split, the court will be chaotic, Han and Lu are disappointed by the crane, and when the time comes, of course, it will be the fisherman who will benefit.

Therefore, this appointment went very quickly in a set of processes between Zhongshu and Chongzheng Palace. The Son of Heaven approves the red, Zai Fu signs the charge, and the imperial treasure is covered, and in two days at most, Han Gang's new appointment will come down.

"Don't you want to Yukun?" Sun Yong asked, and said with a meaningful smile: "Do you think Han Zihua's recommendation is inappropriate?" ”

Han Gang pursed his lips, "You can't say that." Han Xianggong's recommendation, Han Gang is of course Minggan Wunei. I'm just ashamed! ”

Sun Yonghe smiled, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "Yukun, if you are ashamed of this position, who dares to say that you are worthy of it." ”

Han Gang was silent, not thinking about Han Jiang's recommendation, but guessing Sun Yong's thoughts.

Regarding this recommendation, especially the identity of the recommender, Han Gang said that he was surprised and surprised: Han Jiang recommended him without saying hello to him, which made Han Gang feel that something was wrong.

But if you want to say how surprised, it is not to the extent of horror and inexplicability, after hearing about this two days ago, he just sighed and passed, and his eyelids did not jump.

In terms of ability, Han Gang is by no means the only one who can sit firmly in this position in the middle of the court, and there are also multiple candidates in terms of status, prestige, and merit. But when it comes to the integration of the numbers and the real details, Han Gang, who is serving as the point of the government boundary, is at the forefront.

Han Jiang recommended Han Gang, this letter of recommendation, this personal choice, in all respects, is impeccable and impeccable.

But the intention behind it is also clear to everyone. Not only Han Gang, but also his three staff, plus Wang Bei, could see at a glance that Han Jiang was going to compete with Lu Huiqing for control of the New Party.

After all, he is the prime minister, and Han Jiang would never be willing to watch Lu Huiqing control the government. The Son of Heaven pays attention to the new law, so he adopts Lu Huiqing's opinions, but he Han Jiang also supports the new law, can't he replace Lu Huiqing?! He's the prime minister!

Han Jiang's careful thinking is not hidden from people at all, maybe Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, can understand it.

It's just that why did Sun Yong mention this, could it be that he took refuge in Han Jiang? This thought was immediately denied in Han Gang's heart, Sun Yong was an old minister of the Qiandi, and behind him was the Son of Heaven, so there was no need to serve anyone. However, Han Jiang's brother Han Wei is also an old minister of Qiandi, and he has a friendship with Sun Yongdang. If Han Wei is in the middle to build the bridge, it is not impossible.

Sun Yong looked at Han Gang's silence with interest, young people rarely think twice, and there are not too many who can think about it, but Han Gang has done a good job. But worrying too much is not a good thing.

Han Gang quickly raised his head and looked at Sun Yong squarely: "I have been suffering for more than a year, and the mansion has just sighed, and Han Gang also feels the same way. And the complicated drama of Zhongshu affairs is not under Kaifeng Mansion, Han Gang thinks that he can be idle for a few days. ”

Sun Yong was shocked: "Could it be that Yukun, you plan to go out?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare to deceive the mansion, how can they not be promoted? But the fifth room inspection of the middle book is serious, and Han Gang knows that he is not competent. But when he was sentenced to the post of ordnance supervisor, the subordinate still had some confidence in asking himself, and he would not be ashamed of the Son of Heaven. ”

Sun Yong is Han Gang's boss, and when Zhao Ji plans to transfer Han Gang, it is common sense to consult Sun Yong's opinion and listen to Sun Yong's evaluation of Han Gang. This is the right reason, Han Gang now said what he thought to Sun Yongjiang, and he also had the intention of letting him pass it on his behalf. This is not surprising, and presumably Sun Yong can understand it.

Sun Yong did understand. Han Gang didn't want to be a thug for Han Jiang, and he didn't want it to be the beginning of a split in the New Party. So I plan to resign from one post and accept one post. Stay in the capital, but don't jump into the whirlpool.

"That's fine, Yukun has been busy with a lot of things this year, and it's not a bad thing to be idle for a while."

"Thank you for your attention." Han Gang arched his hand and said.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and it was overwhelmingly pressing, and there was no sign of stopping for two or three hours. Han Gang and Sun Yong had to stay in the Qingcheng Palace for one night. Of course, as courtiers, the two could not live in the palace. That night, they and their entourage were arranged in a room inside the palace gate, which was also the place where ordinary officials lived after the start of the suburban ceremony.

sent people back to the city in the snow to report the news and ask for leave for tomorrow's court meeting, and Han Gang and Sun Yong stayed. Listening to the howl of the wind all night, the blizzard stirred by the wind kept knocking on the doors and windows, and the cold wind penetrated through the cracks in the doors and windows, making Sun Yong and Han Gang invariably think that after they went back, they would arrange people to renovate the station of the Qingcheng Palace.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the day's blizzard came to an end. The snow on the ground was as thick as three or four feet, and Sun Yong almost sighed as he looked at the layer of snow blocking the door of the temple.

However, he also knew that it was useless to sigh, and he was anxious to go to the city, so he ordered people to clear the snow on the road. This matter cannot be delayed, and the more it is delayed, the more troublesome it becomes. Moreover, after the blizzard, the houses in the city will inevitably collapse, and the situation of smashing the residents to death is not less every year.

Seeing Sun Yong at the main gate of the palace in a hurry, pacing back and forth, looking outside the palace every few steps, Han Gang couldn't help but feel a little funny. The most reluctant couldn't help but comfort, "Don't worry, the city must be in a hurry at this time, and someone must be coming to pick us up soon." ”

Indeed, as Han Gang said, about a quarter of an hour later, three carriages did come from the direction of Tokyo Castle in the north. Two horses were pulled in front, and instead of wheels, two long strips of wood were mounted under the body behind.

Seeing his subordinates in the city and finding a sleigh to pick him up, Sun Yong's tense expression finally relaxed.

Sitting in the same car with Han Gang, a leather whip sounded in front, and the sleigh began to drive smoothly on the snow, without the shaking of ordinary carriages, nor the squeaking of ordinary carriages, smooth and calm.

Sitting in the quiet carriage, there was only the slightest sound of the sled running over the snow under the carriage, Sun Yong's expression suddenly moved, and he asked Han Gang, who was sitting opposite: "Yukun, do you still have anything hidden and tucked out of it?" Otherwise, why do you just want to be a military inspector? ”

The more Sun Yong thought about it, the more this truth became, but all officials did not like to be in a position of clarity. A position that does not do things, does money, and can dictate the affairs of the imperial court, that is what everyone loves. And no one likes to do such a complicated position.

But whether it is the inspection of the fifth room of the middle school or the sentence of the ordnance supervisor, it is actually a busy and unidle position. Although Han Gang said that he wanted to be idle, he took over the position of Commander of Armaments, and it was reasonable that he did not want to participate in the disputes in the political affairs hall. But if the reason is so simple, it is too underestimated to underestimate Han Yukun, who is now famous all over the world.

Han Gang raised his eyes to look at Sun Yong, and saw that the Kaifeng prefect was staring at him and refused to let go, so he sighed and said: "Han Gang inherited the teachings of Mr. Hengqu and studied the theory of learning from things, and he really has a lot of experience. Although it is not agreeable to judge the weapons superintendent, it also has something to do with what Han Gang has learned, and if he can take charge of his affairs, he will not disappoint the Son of Heaven. ”
