Chapter 28: The Beam's Soft Red Shower (8)

[The first update, I stayed up late and was dizzy, I can't write it today, and the next update will definitely be made up tomorrow. The chapter that I owe in the previous one will also take the time to make up for it]

Zhang Yu has returned to his hometown, and now in the house in the capital, only Zhang Dian and his wife and children live. When Zhang Dian returned home, it was already the third watch.

And Zhang Di's two sons, Zhang Zhi and Zhang Yuan, yawned one after another, but they didn't dare to go to sleep, but waited in the study for their father to come back.

Zhang Dian pushed the door into the study, and asked, "Big brother, fourth brother, how are you doing your homework?" ”

Zhang Zhi and Zhang Yuan were ten years old and eight years old, young and sleepy, and when they arrived in the middle of the night, they were already in a daze, but when they heard Zhang Yuan's voice, they immediately jumped up and stood up honestly. If Zhang Yu was present at this time, most of them would laugh and say that such an honest child is not like his children and grandchildren at all.

When he was a teenager, Zhang Dian acted absurdly and boldly, and was even sued to go to the yamen. The ability to steal incense and jade is cast from the same mold as Zhang Yu, a mother-in-law who steals and a concubine who steals an uncle's uncle, can be regarded as an aunt, and there is no way to speak of it.

Such conduct, coupled with the factor of origin, is regarded as an alternative in the clan. But he can have today's achievements because of the gambling on the old grievances. When he was first promoted to the Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou, Zhang Dian was only nineteen years old, ten years younger than his nephew Zhang Heng. But because of the discrimination he was given in the clan, he refused to succumb to Zhang Heng, gave up the title of Jinshi, and took the next test as a Jinshi.

Whether it is self-confidence or talent, Zhang Dian is first-class, but there are some flaws in his conduct, so Wang Anshi, who is trapped in the scarcity of talents, still reuses him. And this kind of Zhang Dian is very strict with his two sons, and he has to see the homework of Zhang Zhi and Zhang Yuan every day to rest assured.

From the scriptures that the two sons have learned today, I took out two verses and asked about their righteousness. Seeing that they could all answer, Zhang Dian couldn't help but smile a little, and happily let the two boys go back to sleep.

In the dead of night, the lights are dimly lit. Outside, the drums were pounding, but Zhang Duan still didn't feel sleepy. He flipped through a stack of names on the table. Although Zhang Dan's official position is not very high, the injured authority is Xuan He for a while, he took over Zeng Bu's class, did the official work of the fifth room of the inspection and correction of the middle school, and was in charge of all the texts sent to the political affairs hall.

He had to flip through it every day, and as a pastime, he would pick out a few of them to meet. However, Zhang Dian was not in any interest today, and he was ready to let people take it and put it away after looking at it casually, but one of them jumped into his eyes at this moment, and Zhang Tun's hand stopped at once.

Picking up the name note and the accompanying letter that had attracted his attention, he called for the drowsy servant. He spread out the famous post, "When did the post of the Han official in Qinzhou come from?" ”

That servant had heard of Han Gang, the family of the Zhang Mansion, and as soon as he heard about the Han officials in Qinzhou, he knew who Lu Dao was referring to. When Han Gang sent someone to deliver the letter, he also paid attention to it, "If you return to the official, it was when you were on the first shift, and Han Guanren's personal companion was ordered by Han Guanren and sent the post. ”

Han Yukun still remembers who he asked for help. Zhang Dian smiled and said to the servant, "Go and invite Mingde." ”

Lu Ming was woken up in his sleep, and he was about to curse when he was dizzy. But as soon as he heard that it was Zhang Dian who invited him, he hurriedly put away the complaints in his stomach. Living in someone else's house, of course, can only be a guest.

Since Lu Ming decided to engage in business, he has been in a relationship with Zhang Dian. Although Han Gang once said that he could go to Qinzhou to ask him for help if he had something, Han Yukun, who was far away on the border of Qinzhou, how could he be as thick as Zhang Zihou, the prime minister's confidant in the capital, and if he wanted to do business, he would be more open than Qinzhou in Beijing, and who to take refuge in was of course not a problem for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming just doesn't have the ability to read, but he is bold and careful, has a wide range of knowledge, and is good at listening to news, so although he is still a newcomer among businessmen and has not yet established a network, in less than a year, after three trips to the capital, he already has a little net worth, and he is no longer the shabby of the day. And if it weren't for the big guild in the capital to sit on the ground and share the spoils, and the wealthy businessmen who were the leaders of the bank controlled the sales channels, Lu Ming would have been full of money by now.

Zhang Dian didn't wait long, and Lu Ming came to his study in neat clothes. After saluting, Lu Ming sat down and asked, "The inspector is coming down, I don't know what is important?" ”

"Han Yukun has entered Beijing today, I wonder if Mingde already knows?"

Lu Ming nodded: "I already know the way below." It's really a coincidence, just now Han Yukun's companion Li Xiaoliu came to send the famous thorn, and he happened to see it next. He also asked him to bring the message back. He laughed, "I was going to visit Han Yukun in Guwei after the beginning of spring next year, but I didn't expect to come to Beijing this time." ”

"Now that Mingde already knows the Tao, there is no need for me to say more. Tomorrow, I will ask Mingde to meet Han Yukun and say that I will set a seat in Fan Lou and get together for a while. Zhang Dian thought for a while, "By the way, I invited Zhou Xiaoniang from the Teaching Workshop Division, she has become more and more famous recently, and she has been mentioned in the Chinese books." ”

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Although he is corrected, rest assured, Lu Ming will definitely do it properly." It's just Zhou Nan of the Teaching Workshop Division, please don't invite her to perform. ”

Zhang Dian wondered in his heart: "Why is this? ”

Zhou Nan has a deep affection for Han Yukun, and the dagger she scared away Gao Mihou was still given by Han Gang that day, and she is indeed a rare chaste woman in the workshop. If that's all there is, it will be a good thing for her to be able to return to Han Yukun in the future. But now the two kings are falling in love with Zhou Nan......"

"King Yong!?"

"It's King Yong!" Lu Ming nodded, "It's just a name, but it's already spread in the market." Han Yukun has already made so many contributions at a young age, and his future is limitless, if he hates King Yong and ruins his future because of a prostitute, it would be a pity. ”

Lu Ming abandoned Confucianism and became a businessman, and replaced him with an ordinary scholar, which must be contempt and alienation. But Chapters didn't care about that. He is a native of Fujian, his hometown has many mountains and little land, and businessmen are not more discriminated against than farmers. At the beginning of the country, there was a saying that the southerners were not in the same way, and Sima Guang also said that 'the Fujian people are cunning, and the Chu people are easy', and the discrimination between regions can be seen.

Zhang Dan's attitude towards Lu Ming was very clear, "Even if you are a rooster and a dog thief, you can still use it." ’

Different from Wang Anshi's point of view, he believes that Meng Weijun only pays attention to chickens and dogs and thieves, so the countrymen are not coming, and what he wants to govern the country is the kind of virtuous person who can 'control Qin in the south'. Zhangdun has always held the principle of making the best use of things, as long as there is a little strength, there is always a time or place to use.

Although Lu Ming has no talent, he is still a bit level in business, and Bao's ability to inquire makes people regret that he is not a member of the Imperial City Division. Tonight's performance also proves this even more.

However, Zhang Dian had a different idea from Lu Ming, "This matter has to be handled by Han Yukun himself, and it is not beautiful for you and me to act on behalf of you." With Han Yukun's intelligence, he will definitely have a choice. ”

……………………

In the middle of the night, the Great Inner Martial Arts Hall is still brightly lit.

Zhao Ji leaned over and looked at the Wuding River in the mountains, his eyes were fixed, and he didn't blink his eyes for a long time. After a long time, he asked out loud: "Song Qing, you are the palace marshal." Tell me about the military dispatch this time, what are the omissions? ”

The deputy commander of the infantry army made Song Shouyue not move, but frowned. Although in terms of official positions, there are still positions such as the deputy commander and the commander, but in fact, since Zhao Kuangyin did it, it is no longer awarded to the courtiers after the founding of the country, but it is just an empty name. And the commanders are often vacant. One of the three yaguan armies, the commander of the guards, the pro-army, the division and the deputy commander of the army, is already one of the few high-ranking military ministers today.

Song Shouyue's appearance is serious, he always has a face on weekdays, and when he stares at people, a pair of eyes are like icebergs without any emotion, which is cold, which makes the soldiers of Sanya fearful. And he is even more famous for his harshness, when he was in the palace, he was disgusted with the cicadas in summer, so he ordered to drive away all the cicadas on the tree.

In the past few years since Song Shouyue served in Sanya, every summer, the officials who entered the palace could see a group of soldiers, sweating with bamboo poles and beating on the trees, guarding every tree in the palace from the infestation of cicadas - the quiet summer palace has become a major feature of Tokyo.

But Song Shouyue did not have his usual coffin face at this time, but looked worried. It's already the third watch, but the Son of Heaven has not yet slept. He is old, so it doesn't matter if he sleeps less, but Zhao Ji's body is not good, and if he stays up late, he may fall ill.

He ignored Zhao Ji's inquiry, but advised, "The official family, where Hengshan, Han Xianggong has already made a proper plan, the soldiers are good enough to eat, and the planters who lead the army are also old in military affairs, and they are already fully prepared, so the officials don't need to worry." It's better to rest early, and I will go to court tomorrow. ”

Zhao Ji snorted, but still didn't look up.

Whether or not Luo Wu can be controlled will determine the ownership of Yokoyama. The upcoming World War also determined the national fortunes of Western Xia. All previous skirmishes ended with the victory of the Great Song side. Victory after victory, like blowing up a balloon, swelled Zhao Ji's confidence in the army, and the battle was decided, such a temptation was irresistible to Zhao Ji.

All aspects have been taken into account, and Zhao Ji has done his best. Yan Yan has the most elite generals and troops, and has sufficient grain and grass reserves, but Han Jiang is not complacent about this, and requires the highest in every aspect, not to mention basic military rations, and attaches extreme importance to medical treatment in the army......

"That's right." Zhao Ji seemed to remember something, "Li Shunju, who is on duty in Zhongshu today?" ”

Li Shunju, who had been serving by the side of the Son of Heaven and was standing in a corner of the hall like a ghost, stood up, "If you go back to the official's house, it will be Feng who participates in politics." ”

"You go and ask Feng Jing when Han Gang will arrive. Once Han Gang arrived in Beijing, let him meet him more and more. ”
