Chapter 20: Unchanging Thoughts (2)
[I still can't finish it before twelve o'clock, I'm really sorry for the interruption caused by personal factors.] The two daily shifts I promised were always delayed because of some things. However, this month's twenty-eight days, a total of fifty-six will definitely be completed. Regardless of this chapter, the next eight days, three changes a day. 】
"What is Guo Zhongtong's idea......
After the banquet, in his living room, Wang Shao frowned. At the banquet today, Guo Kui obviously showed favor to Wang Shao and Han Gang. It was not at all as strong as they had guessed in advance. Something went wrong, which always made Wang Shao a little difficult to feel at ease.
"Probably because Li Xian is here. If Taiwei Guo behaves too aggressively, he will have to mention a few words to the Son of Heaven after he goes back. ”
Han Gang was toasted a few more glasses at the banquet today, his face was red, and he was a little drunk. picked up the decanting soup sent by the Wang family and took a sip. The sour and bitter taste in his mouth almost made him squirt out the decanting soup he drank in. But the wine is completely sober. The level of the Wang family's cooks is not enough, and the decanting soup can indeed decant the wine, but it is because it is unpleasant.
"I know that." Wang Shao also picked up the teacup and took a sip, probably because he was used to drinking it, and there was no adverse reaction. It's just that he drank the decanting soup in one gulp, and he didn't put down the teacup, just turned it in his hand, "With Guo Kui's identity, I don't need to play any dismount." In Qinzhou, no one dared to be disrespectful to him. ”
"But there's no need for Taiwei Guo to be so courteous, as long as the courtesy is counted, no one can say that he is not." Wang Hou seemed to be refuting his words, but as he spoke, he peeked at Han Gang's reaction.
Han Gang lowered his head, dealing with the decanting soup that was dozens of times more difficult to drink than Yan Suxin's works. This time, though, he was so drunk that he didn't feel anything at all.
In fact, seventy percent of Guo Kui's diligence today is for Han Gang. Wang Shao and Wang Hou both saw it in their eyes, but in front of Han Gang, they had some scruples and it was difficult to say it clearly. Therefore, between the words, there is a side knock and a side attack, spying on Han Gang's mind.
Han Gang sighed in his heart. What's the trouble with this, the eight characters of the birthday have changed, it can be said that it is a family, and if you have something to say, you can just say no. But think about it again, if you are in Wang Shao's position, I am afraid that you will not be able to say it clearly. The smarter a person is, the more calculations he has in his heart, but it is difficult to let go, and it is impossible to blame Wang Shao.
"If you are courteous, you must ask for something, Guo Taiwei should want to make a difference in the matter of Hehuang......" Han Gang still chose to break the topic, show his attitude, and save Wang Shao and Wang Hou from talking around him, "The more attentive Guo Taiwei is today, the more fierce the attack will be when his wish is not fulfilled in the future." ”
From Han Gang's point of view, of course, he thought that it would be best to be left and right. At the same time, he can get benefits from Wang Shao and Guo Kui, so that he can maximize his interests and change from an elector to a Beijing official as soon as possible.
Under normal circumstances, the selection of a person to be transferred to a Beijing official must have the recommendation of five road-level supervisors, and a recommendation is called a cut, and the five cuts are complete, and the number is the tip, and then the official can be transferred.
If you don't follow the normal line and only rely on military merits, it is not that you can't become a Beijing official. However, in Han Gang's opinion, the current imperial court probably has the intention of suppressing Wang Shao and himself, and does not let them use it too quickly, in case it will be difficult to reward them if they succeed in the future.
So much so that his merits in the great victory of Guwei could not be exchanged for a Beijing official. Unless Hehuang has been restored, Han Gang doesn't expect him to be able to get out of Xuanhai by virtue of his military merits, and Wang Shao doesn't need to expect to be promoted much more - no matter how much other merits are made, it is just to add food and raise the useless virtual titles of school inspector, honor, and loose official to a few levels.
Wang Shao's Han Gang can't control it, but if he has Guo Kui's help and collects the five recommendation letters, can the court suppress him again? You can't go too far on the bright side. There is still room for discussion about the reward, as long as there is an excuse for the past, you can adjust it as you like, but if you can't change to an official after the five cuts, who will work hard again?
It's just that Han Gang's wishful thinking is based on Wang Shao and Guo Kui's concerted efforts. If he wants to choose one between Wang Shao and Guo Kui, then he can only stand on Wang Shao's side - Wang Shao recommended him as an official, although Han Gang's help to Wang Shao is enough to repay this kindness, but in the world, Han Gang will not do stupid things that will be pointed at the backbone, not to mention that he and the Wang family will soon be in-laws, and there is no reason to turn his elbow outward.
Wang Shao heard the meaning of Han Gang's words, and finally put down the plain porcelain teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's still according to Yukun's words, observe his words and watch his deeds." Let's see what Guo Zhongtong will do in the future. ”
"That's what my lord said." Wang Hou also relaxed.
Today, when he saw Guo Kui raising a toast to Han Gang at the banquet regardless of the identity gap, his heart was raised. Han Gang is Wang Shao's mastermind, and Wang Hou knows best how much talent he has. If he was recruited by Guo Kui, the blow to Wang Shao would be almost devastating.
Seeing that the two of them were relieved, Han Gang changed the topic: "Guo Kui is here and looking at the future." And Li Yufu's side seems to be very concerned about the matter of Hehuang......"
"Li Xian has already said that he will go to Guwei tomorrow." Wang Shao said.
"In such a hurry?" Han Gang raised his eyebrows to show his surprise.
Wang Hou recalled Wang Zhongzheng, and said with a smile: "Wang Duzhi last time he came, he stayed in Qinzhou for two days and received some filial piety. Li Yufu is in such a hurry this time, but he has to make a lot less money, I really don't know what he thinks. ”
"No matter what Li Xian thinks, since he is going to Guwei Village tomorrow, I have to go with him." Wang Shao turned his face to Han Gang and said, "Yukun, you still have to stay in Qinzhou for a few days. ”
Han Gang thought about it: "The matter here in the sanatorium is a bit tricky, I don't know if I can let Brother Dao stay in Qinzhou for a few days to help deal with it." Wait for this matter, I will go to Guwei with Brother Chu Dao. ”
Han Gang wants to keep Wang Hou, this is because he wants to prove his innocence, and he doesn't have any intention of changing his family in his heart. But can Wang Shao agree to push the boat down the river? Of course not! Doing so is a clear distrust of Han Gang.
So he said: "Gu Wei has a lot of things to do urgently, and without Yukun in the Yazhong, you can't miss the second brother." Yukun, after you arrange the affairs of the Qinzhou Sanatorium, you will also rush to Guwei as soon as possible. Li Xian is very valued in front of the Son of Heaven, this opportunity is rare, you can talk to him a few more words, and you can also get a few good words in front of the emperor. ”
Wang Hou also said: "The foolish brother is in charge of the same thing, Yukun, you are a good brand of opportunity, and if the foolish brother doesn't go, I don't know how many things will be delayed." Now that it is autumn, if the field of Guwei Village does not open soon, it will be sad next year. There is also Tuntian, if you don't take advantage of these two months to recruit a group of people to come, it will be too late to cultivate the fields and plant wheat. ”
"Let Wang Sunchen follow Yukun first." Han Gang had already said that he lacked helpers, although it was just an excuse to reassure people's hearts, but Wang Shao had to do the things on the surface to a good time, "If there is anything, I want him to help you deal with it." He is now imprisoned on the right, and he is pressed on Fu Qing's head, and it is a little troublesome to go in a hurry. Give Fu Qing a few days, and when he handles the affairs of the village, it will not be too late for Wang Sunchen to come again. ”
Wang Sunchen and Yang Yingbi Guo Kui and his entourage had to return to Qinzhou two days earlier. According to what they said, they passed by Guo Kui and Li Xian's convoy on the road, but they didn't dare to come forward to say hello and passed directly by the side of the road.
Today they also attended the banquet, and they sat in a good position. Throughout the banquet, I listened to Wang Sunsin's excited drinking and talking, laughing loudly, and the sound of his speech was so noisy that it reached the ceiling. After the last day, he was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily, and was carried back. His most stubborn appearance was similar to Fu Qing, who was an alcoholic, which made Han Gang worried.
Among all the officials who participated in the Battle of Guwei, Wang Sunchen was the one who had the most promotions this time. He escorted Han Gang to Qingtang City, and directly participated in the ambush of Dong Yu's army, and he also had a deflection in his hand - running for Dong Yu, recruiting the rebel tribe from the monk Wu Qila died under his knife, although he was actually killing prisoners, but those who knew about it were silent-so the official position jumped four steps in one breath, borrowed from the lowest third class, and jumped to the right guard.
Han Gang would not be jealous of Wang Sunsin's promotion faster than him. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the civil and military classes were two completely different systems. If there is no military merit, if you rely on your qualifications, you can only be promoted to one level in seven years - this is to encourage the generals to fight bravely to kill the enemy - but if you make a mistake and lose the battle, it is easy to fall.
But Wang Sunchen hasn't fallen yet, and he is now proud of the spring breeze. Han Gang once suggested that Fu Qingquan should be allowed to know Gu Weizhai, and Wang Sunchen and others should be in charge of specific military affairs. But now Wang Sunchen's official rank has completely overwhelmed Fu Qing. This makes the new Guwei village master, who has been in the army for a long time, how to command him?
And Yang Ying, who participated in the Battle of Guwei, also jumped above Fu Qing. Although he never went into battle from beginning to end, he only guarded Wang Shao. But the blind medicine gave him the credit of five beheadings, and after Yu Longke heard about it, he immediately sent him ten more beheadings, although Wang Shao did not watch them mess around, and only let Yang Ying receive five heads from the hands of Yu Longke's two brothers as a battle merit, but Yang Ying also overtook the rank because of this, and pressed on Fu Qing's head.
In Qinfeng Road, and even in Qinzhou itself, there are no other officials who can be qualified for the post of Guwei Zhizhai, and they can justifiably command Wang Sunchen and Yang Ying. But now that the wood has been completed, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu's promotion of Fu Qing has just been approved for two days, and he will be replaced, which will make people see jokes.
"I don't know if Wang Shunchen will listen to Fu Qing's assignment after he arrives in Guwei Village." Wang Hou was a little worried now, "The difference between the two officials' ranks is so big, Wang Sunchen doesn't pay attention to Fu Qing's general order, and it's not easy to say that he is not." ”
"Let's do it first...... Wang Shao also looked a little helpless at this time, for him, Wang Sunchen must be closer to Fu Qing, and more credible than Fu Qing. If the king and Fu were fighting, it would be difficult for him to punish Wang Sunchen for Fu Qing.
Han Gang blinked his eyes and didn't say anything, there was also his responsibility in this - after all, Fu Qing was recommended by him.
I had to mention Wang Sunchen more when I had time, Han Gang thought.
