【2nd Update】

Looking at his son's stubborn expression, Han Gang couldn't help but feel distressed.

Although Han Cheng is not smart, he is not outstanding in the scriptures, but he is simple and simple, and he is extremely attentive to things, and he has been taught by Han Gang since he was a child, and his knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography and other natural sciences is not lost to any of his peers.

If he can devote his time and energy to the "Three Classics and New Meanings" to Gewu, with the educational conditions he can get, Yibang Jinshi only needs a little luck. If you take the test twice, you can still get a jinshi.

His own son, how could Han Gang bear to be wronged?

"That's not what I said. Big brother, you want to be admitted to the Jinshi, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say. ”

Han Cheng's stubborn expression changed, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Han Gang smiled slightly, "Three years ago, Xining's father never thought that he could be a scholar in high school, how can Westerners compare poetry with scholars in the south?" But something happened in Xining in the third year, big brother, do you know what it is? ”

Han Gang's son who was admitted to the school, Han Cheng thought for a while, and his eyes lit up, "In the palace examination of Xining's third year, the first emperor changed the poetry to the policy, and then issued an edict starting from the sixth year of Xining. ”

Major events in the government and the opposition, anecdotes of official eunuchs, the children of official eunuchs like him have been taught by their elders, and they have never understood much more than scholars from poor families, following the current topic, Han Cheng understands what Han Gang is talking about.

"Daddy, are you going to ......" Han Cheng's heart was agitated and even changed his title, and he didn't say any more, his two eyes stared at his father fixedly.

Han Cheng had never seen his father write poetry since he was a child, and he knew that his father couldn't even catch up with his grandfather's soles in this regard.

When I was a child, I heard my father admit in conversation with my mother that without the exam questions of Emperor Xizong and his maternal grandfather to change the Yi Jinshi subject, my father would not have expected to be admitted to a Jinshi at all, and it would even be difficult to pass the guò examination - even the lock hall test with a high acceptance rate is also hopeless.

At present, I don't expect to be admitted to the Jinshi, but if my father can also change the exam questions and change the range that he is familiar with, then what if the Jinshi is not a problem?

Blatant favoritism, that will provoke public anger among the scholars, but his father advocated qi science for several decades, starting from the system, step by step to change the imperial examination system, and now the examination and all subjects are mixed with a lot of qi content, and there is only the Ministry of Rites and the palace examination, the world is waiting for this last step, even if he has a little light by the way, no one will say that he changed the examination system in order to let his son take the Jinshi examination, and will only take it for granted.

Han Gang also said exactly that: "It's not for you, big brother, it's for Qixue." But big brother, you have to teach the study of things since you were a child, and when the time comes, your chances of passing the exam will be higher than others. ”

This is the advantage of being born in a family of eunuchs. As small as knowing the examiner's preference one step earlier, to burying joints in the test paper, even though the Hanmen scholar is standing on the same starting line as the official eunuch on the surface, but secretly, he is still more than a dozen steps behind at the start - but this gap, compared to the difference between the test, is enough to make the Hanmen Shizi feel satisfied.

Han Gang had no intention of cheating for his son, and the examiner's preference did not need Han Gang to bother, but Han Gang directly changed the syllabus, and his son would not be missing among the people who benefited the most.

Han Gang chuckled as he spoke, "In order to promote his new learning, your grandfather insisted on changing the poems that had been tested for hundreds of years. Since he can do the first year of junior high school, he can also do fifteen as a father. ”

Han Cheng didn't know how to respond to Han Gang's statement.

The elders are vindictive, and it is difficult for the juniors to get along with themselves.

In the early years, Han Gang ran away, Wang Yi took the whole family to live in his mother's house several times, and Han Cheng's brothers and sisters lived in Wang Anshi's house intermittently for nearly two years.

Although Han Cheng is a concubine, in the Wang family, the treatment he gets is not inferior to Wang Yisheng's second and fifth children. Moreover, Wang Anshi raised his eyebrows at his son and did not smile at Han Gang, but in front of the children of the Han family, their grandfather could not be more kind, and he was a kind old man.

When it comes to the dispute between Han Gang and Wang Anshi, the younger ones don't know anything, and the older ones are like Han Cheng and Han Zhong, the two brothers, or Han Qiang's daughter, either he cares about him left and right, or he keeps silent, and he has to persuade Han Gang more.

Han Gang knew that Han Cheng was embarrassed, and said, "It's far away, your grandfather's talent and achievements have always been greatly admired by my father." If it weren't for the dispute over Taoism, if it weren't for the recent confusion, my father wouldn't have gossiped. ”

Han Cheng didn't dare to say a word. It seems that my grandfather married his cousin Yue Niang to the Son of Heaven, which really annoyed his father.

Han Gang also stopped, it was always inconvenient to say too much in front of the child, "I just said so much for my father, I just want to tell Brother Sù that as long as you work hard to learn, it is not difficult to be a Jinshi." ”

"Yes. The child understands! Han Cheng nodded vigorously.

"It's just that it's not difficult, but it doesn't mean that you can definitely win. There are thousands of talented people in the world, if you are careless, you will be squeezed off the list. Han Gang told his son uneasily.

"Rest assured, my son will not fall into the name of my lord."

Han Gang was about to say something more, when his expression suddenly moved and he looked out of the house.

After a report, he hurriedly entered, glanced at Han Cheng first, and then said to Han Gang in a hurried tone: "The queen mother has a sudden illness, and the queen asks the prime minister to enter the palace quickly." ”

Han Cheng's face changed, but Han Gang remained silent and didn't even get up.

"Your Excellency?" Han Cheng asked Han Gang puzzled. Something so big happened, Han Gang didn't move.

"You go back to your room and rest first. Tomorrow is going to get married, you have to keep your spirits up, don't go to bed late. Han Gang commanded.

"My son got it."

Han Cheng got up and saluted Han Gang, but the loss in his heart couldn't help but be revealed.

Han Gang glanced at his son, thought for a while, and changed his words: "Stand next to you and listen, don't ask much." ”

Han Cheng perked up, and hurriedly nodded in response: "My son knows." ”

Immediately stood behind Han Gang.

"Go and get ready for the carriage."

"Go to Su Pingzhang, Zhang Xianggong, and Zhang Shu's Mansion to inquire."

"Go to the back and tell your mistress, don't worry."

"Sue the messenger and let him stay for a while."

Han Gang was as steady as Mount Tai, and he attracted a series of orders to follow. At the same time, urgent reports from outside also came into his study one after another.

"Xianggong, the door of Chenhui opened, and more than ten people rode out of the palace and left separately."

"Xianggong, Jiawu is in an emergency, and the Queen Mother is in a coma."

"Xianggong, the government hall sent people to report, there are dissenting voices in the ban, and there will be people going out, there seems to be a big change."

"Xianggong, Xin 13 came to report, there is a change in the palace."

"Xianggong, the clothes are here."

"Just change it in the back."

Han Gang went to the study to change his clothes, and saw someone coming to report again.

"Xianggong, the carriage and horses are ready."

Through a double curtain, Han Gang said, "Let them wait." ”

"Xianggong, the Imperial Medical Bureau sent someone to report, and the Queen Mother's palace sent someone to recruit the imperial doctor on duty."

Han Gang changed into a public uniform, walked inside, took out a booklet on the bookshelf in front of the desk, and flipped through it, "Today is An Suzhi and Lei Jian." He looked up and smiled at his son, who was already sweating nervously, "An Suzhi is a must with a needle." ”

Han Cheng tightened his face and nodded, but he remembered Han Gang's instructions and didn't dare to speak.

"Xianggong, Shi Xin is here, the situation in the palace is not right, please be careful."

Shi Xin's name Han Cheng is very familiar with, he was born in Han Fu, and he is one of the many military attaches who went out under Han Gang. He is now leading troops in Beijing, but Han Cheng does not know the specific location.

He looked at his father, but saw that Han Gang had already pulled out a map, and Han Cheng only glanced at it and saw that it was a map of the capital.

Han Gang stood in front of the map and examined, and another person rushed over, "Xianggong, the Tianbo Gate is open, and two horses are out of the palace and go in the direction of Fanglin Garden." ”

Han Cheng was shocked when he heard this, "Which one is this?" ’

Before the first year of peace, Hong Lim Court was a royal garden, but now only the name of the place remains. In the Zhiping period, it was changed to the Guangqin North House and the Harmony Family North House, which was the residence of the clans handed down by Taizu, Taizong and King Qin.

The four words of spying on the palace are already a big deal if they are placed on the courtiers, and if they are placed on the clan, they are ill-intentioned.

But Han Cheng still couldn't see any emotional fluctuations on Han Gang's side face, and he didn't even say anything, only snorted contemptuously, as if he knew who it was.

"Xianggong, Xianggong Zhang sent someone to report, and the palace urgently reported that the Queen Mother was evil, and it will be done in two shifts and four moments."

"Go back and tell Sù Zhangzihou, I know, meet in front of the royal road."

"Xianggong, Su Pingzhang said that he knows, and the people in the palace have also arrived, and he will enter the palace immediately."

"Please tell Pingzhang, Han Gang knows here."

"Xianggong, the child manager of the Imperial Medicine Institute sent people to report, the Queen Mother suddenly fell into a coma, there seems to be something abnormal in Funing Palace, please prepare as soon as possible."

"Hmm. Got it. ”

The table clock placed in the corner of the study walked steadily, the minute hand crossed half the clock face, and in two quarters of an hour, people came and went in Han Gang's study, and all the news was collected in the hands of the master of the study, and then converted into various orders and passed out.

"Okay, my father is going to enter the palace." Han Gang glanced at the table clock and said to Han Cheng, "How do you feel?" ”

"Your Excellency."

Han Cheng's throat seemed to have all the water drained, and he was hoarse and low. After seeing the scene of Han Gang's handling of the Queen Mother's violent illness, he was not excited about hearing about the important matter, but nervous.

He now finally realized how fragile the foundation of the Han family's wealth was. Like a small boat sailing on the ocean looming in a hurricane, there is only temporary calm at the moment, and there is a risk of capsizing at any time.

Han Gang patted Han Cheng's shoulder and motioned for his son to relax, "Don't worry. The Queen Mother will not be in a big problem, and she should still have time to come back tomorrow to preside over your eldest brother's marriage. ”

After receiving Han Gang's reminder, Han Cheng remembered that he was going to get married tomorrow.

This thing is so unfortunate that the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill at this time.

Han Gang nudged his son, "After you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will have to worry about these things." Now, let's go back first. ”

The corners of Han Cheng's lips moved a few times, and the overturning in his heart turned into a sentence, "Be careful all the way, adults." ”

"Don't worry." Han Gang smiled.

Han Cheng left Han Gang's study and returned to his side road, still paying attention to the movements in the house.

About half an hour later, Han Cheng returned to his courtyard, and there was movement in the front yard, the cloud board rang three times, the gate was open, and the carriages and horses traveled.

The male owner of this family finally left for the palace.
