The same group of shepherds.

When Han Gang got up again to take the edict, he found that Shi Deyi, who was announcing the edict, had a slightly embarrassed face, and when he came up to say hello, he didn't speak very fluently.

There was a reason for his reaction.

The herdsmen and the herdsmen of the same group are just adding the same word, but the meaning is very different. This is the difference between Jinshi and Tongjinshi, and it is also the gap between Mrs. and Mrs. Ru.

Originally, listening to the news from the palace, Han Gang thought that he could replace Han Jin, who was the current herd envoy, but who would have thought that he would be a colleague similar to Han Jin's accompaniment, echo, and shadow, and he really only needed to sign and draw.

Come to think of it, the shepherds have always served as the privy councillors, and now that the Son of Heaven is planning to dry himself, can he still let himself occupy a place in the Privy Council?

The group of shepherds still has something to decide, and they are part-time in the Privy Council, but there are no part-time ministers of the same group, which is basically the same idle job as the palace envoys, and it seems that the Son of Heaven does not want to do anything by himself.

Raising his eyes to look at Shi Deyi, the Son of Heaven hurriedly said two words of congratulations, and then took the happy money to say goodbye to Han Gang.

Shi Deyi changed to give an edict to other officials, and he would never be cramped and uneasy now. But Han Gang is different, the real immortal Buddha heirs, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the reincarnation of Xingjun, for these incomplete officials, it is very similar to the fear when facing the prime minister.

Originally, the agreed position of Han Gang was really a herd envoy, but when he made a book today, he became a herd envoy. At all, Han Gang will not be given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions again.

Before he was thirty, he was already a few ministers in the world, and he could make some achievements no matter what position he was in. At present, there is still no reward for the merit of the pox planting method, and at the same time, there is a motion to build a track in Hebei, and when the time comes, the first initiative will be pursued to Han Gang.

It's not that the Son of Heaven doesn't want to see Han Gang's meritorious service, but how can he solve it if he makes meritorious service again?

Han Gang's official position can't be promoted anymore, and if he doesn't serve a term as a governor, his official promotion to the counselor doctor has basically reached the top. Even if you use empty titles such as titles, food, loose officials, and school inspectors to reward, it is also very troublesome. Han Gang can't stand up in time, he is comparable to those old ministers who have worked hard for decades, which is equivalent to leaving a precedent for the future, so that future generations can take advantage of loopholes - when the time comes, those who want to exploit loopholes will not mention Han Gang's merits, but will only see Han Gang's age.

Shi Deyi actually felt a headache for the Son of Heaven, it was not easy for Han Gang to stay in Beijing, but for the sake of the sixth brother, he couldn't be sent away, and there was a saying in the palace that after a while, let Han Gang go to Zishantang to do a part-time job.

Shi Deyi left in a hurry, and Han Gang greeted the other officials who came to watch the ceremony at the post station without any care, and went back with a smile to revise the thank you form that had been written—it was originally to thank the Son of Heaven for giving the herdsmen the watch, but now it had to be changed to the deputy herd envoys.

After receiving the appointment of the same group of pastoral envoys, Han Gang was not in a hurry to take office, but sent someone to Xiangzhou to pick up his family, and sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion to find a house. Just like high-ranking officials such as Zai Zhi and the Third Minister, the herdsmen also have a fixed mansion, which they can move in after taking office, while the same herdsmen can only rent a house pitifully.

Officials generally have a time limit when they take office, and they need to take office within the time limit. For Han Gang, who is in the capital, he can arrive within fifteen days. Since the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji arranged this position, he asked him not to do things, so he naturally rushed to the government office on the day after the end - when he needed to be aware of the situation, Han Gang would always become very knowledgeable and interesting.

After living in the south of the city for two days, Kaifeng Mansion approved a house with seven or eight acres of back garden, saying that it was a mansion handed down by Gao Pinghou, the third son of King Qin Kanghui. Because Wang Anshi changed the clan law, the clan that came out of the five suits no longer enjoyed the official position, and the house was taken back by Kaifeng Mansion under an excuse. It was empty for a year, and it happened to be arranged for Wang Anshi's son-in-law to live, which was much larger than the Sanjin Mansion when Han Gang was the judge of the weapons prison in the old days.

The house was very old, it had been empty for another year, it was overgrown with vegetation and dust, and it had to be cleaned not only but repaired in many places. According to the usual practice, Kaifeng Mansion arranged twenty-four soldiers to come to the palace to listen to the call. Han Gang asked them to clean the main house first so that they could live in it themselves.

With the house in hand, Han Gang's next busy business is not just his own business. Zhang Dun, who was closed to the guests, asked Han Gang to send a letter and say some comforting words, doing his best. Then Han Gang did not go to see his immediate boss Lu Gongshu, but went to visit Wang Qi, who asked the current prime minister for help.

With Han Gang's current prestige status, even Wang Jue, who is a courteous official, can't wait for him, and soon welcomes Han Gang into the flower hall where he meets relatives and friends.

After listening to Han Gang's intention, Wang Qi asked, "This Wu Yan is the person who recommended Yukun to you back then, right?" ”

"Exactly. When Han Gang was clothy, he was recommended by three people, Wang Zizheng, Zhang Tuanlian, and then Wu Tongju, who was serving as the judge of the Xiongwu Army at that time. ”

Han Gang's visit to Wang Qi was for Wu Yan, who had helped him a lot back then.

Wu Yan is very down. If he hadn't stood on the wrong side back then, didn't alienate Wang Shao, and could assist Wang Shao in capturing Hehuang, just that military exploit would be a Shangzhou governor now.

In addition, Wang Shao was later promoted to the rank of privy deputy envoy, as Wang Shao's old team, whether he was an official on Xihe Road, or followed Wang Shao into Beijing, and even by virtue of the capital that he had participated in the Northwest War, he could soar in the officialdom - the Son of Heaven has the heart to expand the territory, and civil officials with military talent and experience will always be promoted faster than ordinary civilian officials.

But Wu Yan made a mistake in the multiple-choice question, and the opportunity that should belong to him was given to others. Han Gang didn't mention it, it was Wang Shunchen who obeyed his assignment back then, Zhao Long and Li Xin, who were just soldiers, and even Wang Hou, who was only a soldier, are now high-ranking officials and eunuchs, guarding one side.

And Wu Yan, nearly ten years have passed, and he is now just a general judge in Xiazhou, and if he wants to rise further, he has to stay up year after year, which is called grinding.

This is the status quo of low-level officials. It is difficult to select people to change officials, and it is not so easy for Beijing officials to be promoted to court officials. The pyramid-shaped officialdom is formed, and every step in the direction of the rebellion is almost always a bloodless but equally tragic battle, and it has to compete with countless peers. If you don't have a backer with a deep background, it's impossible to go the extra mile. In Wu Yan's situation, he will reach the top of the army in his life.

However, Han Gang was very grateful for Wu Yan's help in the old years. If it weren't for the fact that he had assigned Wang Sunchen to escort him, it would be very likely that Han Gang would not have been able to dodge Chen Ju's ensuing attacks.

Before Wu Yanyuan served as an official in Huaizuo, Han Gang had no way to help. It just so happened that Wu Yan was now in Beijing, although he himself was too face-heavy and didn't come to the door, but after Han Gang heard about it from Chengnanyi, he had to help him out of reason.

"Yukun really misses the old love." Wang Qi smiled and praised, and then gave Han Gang a positive reply, "It is really not enough to be a judge in the Department of Health and Welfare. ”

"Thank you." Han Gang stood up and bowed, he sincerely thanked Wang Qi.

"If you have the heart to cheer up today, there are still many places where the DPRK and China have to rely on Yukun."

Wang Qi is the prince of the three decrees, for the Son of Heaven, such an obedient and sensible prime minister is indeed very easy to use, but when it comes to facing crises and wars, ability must be considered in front.

The Son of Heaven intends to start a war against Western Xia, and Wang Qi must take the initiative to participate in it and master enough resources, otherwise the Son of Heaven will definitely have to replace one or two more suitable prime ministers before the war.

Since the third year of Xining, Wang Jue has entered the political affairs hall, and he has been ruling for nine years, which is amazingly long, but it also means that the Son of Heaven may replace him at any time - he can be a full ten years of slaughter, and in the more than 100 years since the founding of the country, there are only a handful.

Wang needs to show his ability to achieve convincing feats, not just to secure his current position as prime minister. And it's more to prepare for a smoother comeback after leaving the phase.

Han Gang and Wang Qi are both understanding people, they both want each other, and they sit together, but they don't have to go around in circles.

"The Son of Heaven wants to use troops in Western Xia, and with the current military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, he should be able to take it easily. However, the movements of the Liao State are unknown, and once the war starts, Hebei and Hedong may become elbows and armpits. Can Yukun teach me? ”

"If the enemy is lenient, if you want to use troops in Western Xia, you must include the Liao State. Even though the Liao State did not dare to invade south for a while, it was not impossible to hoard two or three hundred thousand troops on the border of Hebei, and it could even be said that it would definitely do so. ”

"So you want to fix the track?"

Han Gang nodded: "The Hebei army is mainly deployed in Sanguan, and the Daimyo Mansion and Kaide Mansion [Lanzhou] also have heavy troops. However, several troops were scattered, and once the Liao army went south, it would avoid the real and be false, and it should be broken for each of them. However, once there is a track connecting the north and south of Hebei, the Daimyofu and Kaide Mansions and even the capital can easily send troops to support. If Hebei can gather a large army at Sanguan at a faster rate than the Liao, presumably the Liao lord and the king of Wei will also have to reconsider the consequences of taking the fire from the fire. ”

What Wang Qi wants is victory, not a scapegoat after the invasion of Liao, and the benefits of the track are obvious: "The candidate for this road construction has to be recommended by Yukun." ”

"Li Jie is a genius in the construction of things, and all the craftsmen below are also under his orders, and the minister can hand over the practice to him to deal with, and send someone to take charge of it." Han Gang paused, "But there is one thing, Han Gang should be the first to pay attention to the minister." Seven hundred miles and sixty miles are two different things entirely. Building materials such as iron, wood, and stone should be transported in a timely manner. The survey, construction, transfer, and repair of the 700-mile Hebei track are unprecedented problems, and a little accident is likely to take a longer construction period than expected. ”

Wang Jue was speechless: "If it weren't for Yukun's new herd husbandry, I would have tied you up to Hebei." ”

Han Gang found that Wang Qi had an advantage, he could put down the prime minister's shelf, joke when he should be joking, and compliment when he should be complimented. Of course, this is also Han Gang's status.

Although Wang Qi is a hundred people, Han Gang is not far behind, no matter how you say it, he is already one of the top group of people on the pyramid. When you meet, you have to give face.

Han Gang is already a real minister.
