Chapter 33: Idlers Busy Outside Things (6)

Tong Guan boldly interjected a sentence, and finally got a chance to show his face in front of the Son of Heaven.

Congratulations to the prime minister on his birthday, this is not a rare errand, and it is a little more rich in oil and water, and the ambitious Tong Guan's mind has not yet been put on these blockages. But under the mission on the surface, there is also a secret mission, which reflects the trust of the Son of Heaven in him.

Tong Guan's heart was full of joy, but his face was serious and upright, and he knelt down meticulously to kowtow to receive orders, and in terms of attitude, he didn't necessarily feel the excitement of the Son of Heaven after reuse.

This made Zhao Ji look at him with a little more appreciation, he had seen it many times in the past, the courtiers and servants inside and outside the palace were reused, and they even forgot how to put their hands and feet when they thanked him. It is always a rare advantage to be pampered and not surprised, and Tong Guan is so calm that he can do his errands well.

Tong Guan fully displayed the palace etiquette he had learned, and at the same time tried to maintain a calm mind and a humble expression, he knew very well that the more he was at this time, the more he had to ensure that he could do it all the way and not let the Son of Heaven feel unhappy. For eunuchs like them who serve the royal family in the palace, there are only one or two opportunities that can be bumped into in a lifetime, if they can't grasp it, then it's better to be a small one in the palace for a few decades, and never want to get an official body, let alone turn into a military position.

Eunuchs have their own rank of internal servants, from the non-grade Tiyi Hou Neipin, to the eight-rank Neidongtou worship official, a total of eleven ranks. After arriving at the inner Dongtou worship officer, if the inner servant wants to be promoted, he will be transferred to a military position, and from then on he will be classified as a martial class, which means that a high-grade eunuch can take charge of the military position, and there is a basis for leading the army to fight.

However, in this way, after the eunuch is promoted to a high position, he will be constrained by the political hall and the Privy Council, and it will be impossible to have the 'Dingce Guolao' who abolished the Son of Heaven at his heart in the late Tang Dynasty, and there will be no so-called 'protégé of the Son of Heaven'.

Tong Guan is determined to make contributions to the frontier, and then gain the trust of the Son of Heaven. Tong Guan often fantasized that if he could have Qin Han's martial arts, his teacher Li Xian's military literacy, and the luck of Wang Zhongzheng Wang Dajue, who was most trusted by the Son of Heaven even if he was not in the palace now, he would inevitably have a festival in the future.

The eunuch chases the festival degree envoy, not without precedent, Tong Guan's biggest dream at the moment is the festival degree envoy, even if it is a good posthumous seal, as for the present, it is hoped that he can continue to be appointed in front of the Son of Heaven, and when the status is high, he can also accept a few disciples, adopt an adopted son, and adopt a son who can pass on the lineage outside the palace, which can be regarded as making up for his own shortcomings.

Tong Guan received the holy decree and withdrew from the Chongzheng Palace. The Son of Heaven has already written the text for Fu Bi's holy decree to congratulate him, and when the two officials polish Zhao Ji's draft, and then pass it through the inspection of the political affairs hall, they can send it back to Zhao Ji's hand, so that Tong Guan can go to Luoyang with the gift.

Although it was not yet evening, but the sky had darkened, Tong Guan looked up at a full moon that gradually climbed to the top of the temple, when this round of moon became only half left, it was Fu Bi's birthday, and his family should have been in Luoyang City.

……………………

A turmoil that shocked the Son of Heaven in the capital, Luoyang City naturally would not stop so easily.

Han Gang visited Henan Mansion, and after coming out with a black face according to rumors, he handled official business in the government office for a few days peacefully, and did not go to meet other old ministers of Zhishi, let alone trouble Wen Yanbo.

Han Gang visited Wen Yanbo first, just because Wen Yanbo was sentenced to stay in Henan Mansion and Xijing, which was a business exchange. And the rest of the important ministers have all been sent to the office, and visiting them is a personal exchange, and it must be after the official business is finished - as for the second journey, it is because of the friendship between teachers and students with Han Gang, the prince of heaven and earth, the fifth division of the division, exceptionally, no one can say no, but to praise Han Gang for respecting the teacher.

It's just that Han Gang became silent, for Luoyang Shimin, it was like being interrupted halfway through a good book, how would it develop next, the viewers were not satisfied. It made Luoyang Shimin's hearts feel like a dozen rats are stuffed into it, scratching inside, and their hearts are extremely anxious - although this competition has nothing to do with them, but seeing the battle between the two important ministers, for the era of rare entertainment activities, it is more impatient than the Keju League that has just emerged in Luoyang.

It's now mid-February, and the annual Luoyang Peony Festival is about to be launched, but the dispute between Wen Yanbo and Han Gang has made the Peony Flower Festival in the first year of Yuanfeng lose a lot of color for a while.

Wei Zi, Yao Huang, this is a famous product that everyone knows about the road, and now it is not a big deal, in previous years, at this time now, there will be a few exclusive new peonies The news came out, but this year is different from usual, there is no news at all, only the dispute between Wen Yanbo and Han Gang, in the restaurant tea shop and foot shop inn in Xijing, the most discussed, the most widely discussed, and now it is Wen Yanbo, who is still the Duke of Luguo, and Han Gang, a bachelor of Longtu.

"What the hell does this Han Longtu think? It's been a few days, and I should give a clear explanation, it's not a thing to hang people's appetites like this! "Someone complained.

"Who knows what Lu Dao is thinking? With Han Longtu's identity, he doesn't need to give Wen Xianggong too much face at all. There's definitely going to be a good show to watch. "Someone is looking forward to it.

"Han Longtu should play the Son of Heaven and let the officials give justice. It shouldn't be possible to go straight to the door, and I don't think he will let people out again. Someone was so sure.

But Han Gang didn't pay attention to how jaw-dropping the rumors outside were, and he didn't care about how nonsensical the expectations of those idlers outside were for him, and he was now thinking about the worries about his children's schooling.

The eldest of the Han Gang family and the most favored daughter in the family are now six years old, and they have reached the age when they should study. But Han Gang didn't want to send them to Mengxue, but hoped that his wives and concubines could lay a good foundation for them at home.

When it comes to the origin of family learning, Han Gang is not as good as Wang Yi, and when it comes to the art of cultivating sentiment such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Han Gang is not as good as Zhou Nan. With the two of them as teachers, and a group of classmates at home, they can choose the best from the best and let them help strengthen their education.

But Han Gang will not put all the blame on Wang Yi and them. Han Gang has the intention to compile a Mongolian textbook for his children, no matter what, the teaching of later generations has more than a billion people as proof, and the Mongolian textbooks of this era are far less than those of later generations.

Han Gang has listed all the outlines and chapters, and the first few chapters on arithmetic have also been written, but it is still very troublesome to promote and replace the textbooks, after all, it is only a thousand-character essay, and the text has been tempered thousands of times, and it is not comparable to Han Gang's memory behind closed doors.

After reading Han Gang's scratch paper, Wang Yi was also obviously not interested, her husband wrote too roughly, and the text lacked meticulous craftsmanship, not even a semi-finished product. I saw her put down the draft and persuaded softly: "Official, it's not good for Xianggong Wen to continue to make trouble like this, and it's time to give an explanation." I heard that there was a discussion about this in the Cao Division yesterday. Official, you personally told people that you took the initiative to quit at that time, and now Wen Lugong is deeply stigmatized and does not want to ......"

Han Gang looked at Wang Yi, thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's indeed time to give an explanation." He took out his usual pen and paper from the desk and asked the scholar to help him polish the ink, and Han Gang immediately brushed a few lines on the paper. When I type a draft, I take a pen and make a dot on it.

Wang Yi glanced at the draft and was immediately taken aback: "Ask to see Duke Luguo?!" Official, do you want to see Lu Guogong again? ”

Han Gang's attitude was still the same, and he nodded calmly with a smile: "The husband is indeed planning to see Lu Guogong again." ”

"Still resentful?" Wang Yi asked cautiously. But she looked at her husband with a little relief in her eyes.

If there is no resentment at all, either Han Gang has cultivated to the point where he is not shocked by the humiliation, and he doesn't care about the humiliation he receives; Either everything in front of him was caused by him, so he had already prepared. Either way, it will make Wang Yi feel that her husband is a little too terrible - fortunately, this is not the case, although her husband has no intention of framing him, he still leaves a little resentment, which is like a real person.

"There must be some resentment, but Wen Lugong is now deeply disturbed by the rumors in the market, and I will go again to help him clarify the rumors."

"Won't the Wenxiang Guild be angry?" Han Yunniang, who had been silent in the study, asked.

"All I need to do is have a clear conscience. What the Luguo Guild thinks, I can't restrain him. Han Gang spread his hands and smiled to express his helplessness.

In fact, since Han Gang arrived in Luoyang, every step he has taken has been completely in line with the right path, and all of them are beyond reproach. He doesn't plan to change that, and what he has to do today is, of course, to have a clear conscience.

And Han Gang's wives and concubines will only favor their husbands, this time, it is also Wen Yanbo's fault first, if he didn't send someone to pick up the dust for Han Gang according to the etiquette, how could the world misunderstand that he drove Han Gang, who came to visit, out of the palace? For Wen Yanbo, Han Gang's family has no good feelings.

After writing the letter, Han Gang checked it again from the beginning to the end, and made sure that there was no negligence in the text, so Han Gang cleaned up, put the letter paper into the envelope, and called an honest and obedient servant to send him to the Henan Mansion.

"I don't know if Duke Lu Dao Wenlu can accept it, maybe he will tear it up when he sees it." Han Gang smiled at his wife and concubine, "But whether he accepts it or not, his husband can rest assured." To do things for the imperial court, if you can do these four words with a clear conscience, you can be regarded as having no regrets, and there will be no problems. ”
