Chapter 48: The Red Sun Comes and Goes (52)
"What's the matter with the wound on the face?"
When the car left the alley of the palace, Han Gang asked Han Zhong.
Han Zhong touched his face, accidentally touched the wound, and twitched in pain. He looked at the floor and whispered, "I accidentally hit the wall." β
Han Gang squinted at the residual blood at the corner of Han Zhong's mouth, still indifferent: "Is the wall hurt?" β
There was a strange 'grunt' sound.
Xiao Han Jin next to him covered his mouth tightly with his hands, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, his cheeks were bulging, and he looked snickering.
He was immediately glared at by Han Zhong, and then Han Zhong was glared at by Han Gang.
"It didn't hurt." Han Zhong lowered his head again, "My son didn't fight back." β
"Ming'er will find the wall to apologize."
Han Zhong didn't argue, and nodded honestly: "Got it." β
Han Gang did not ask again the reason why Han Zhong was beaten.
The political positions of the elders are opposed, and it is easy to affect the interaction of the younger generations. The elders can still maintain their friendship with each other with reasonβespecially when there is no need to express their differences to the outside world, or even to the emperor, but the young man with strong blood and strength, from debate to quarrel, from quarrel to action, is just a thought.
It's a good thing that Han Zhong didn't fight back, whether it was Wang Yan's son or Wang Bei's son, his health was not very good. Han Zhong, who has been teaching the head of the gun and stick and the head of the fist and foot with the straight class since he was a child, can knock them to the ground in a few rounds with one hand.
However, Han Gang has always taught his children with the words 'repay virtue with virtue and revenge with integrity'. According to Han Zhong's temper, if he has a clear conscience, he will never return the beating.
Xiao Han Jin looked at his brother, then at his father, and suddenly asked, "Daddy, what's wrong with the third sister?" β
Han Zhong and Han Xuan's ears were pricked up.
Han Gang thought for a while, "The people sent by the palace have a little different ideas from Yue Niang, so there are some disputes. β
"What thoughts?" Han Zhong immediately asked.
Han Gang stared at Han Zhong for a few seconds, as if confirming something, and turned to Han Xuan with a smile and asked, "Fourth brother, what do you think it will be?" β
Han Gang doesn't like to hide things from his children. If you can't say it, you won't say it, and if you can say it, you will generally tell Han Zhong and them. Han Cheng, who has started a family, or Han Zhong, who is about to start a family, Han Gang has already let them participate in their own public and private affairs. However, he also likes to give his children exam questions anytime and anywhere.
"Is it a dispute between Daddy and Grandpa?" Han Hyun asked.
Han Gang's gaze turned to Han Zhong, "Second brother? β
"Is that Daddy's opinion?" Han Zhong said in a deep voice.
Han Gang nodded, "It's a little bit, but the second brother said it closer." He sighed, with some emotion, "Yue Niang is a good boy, and the more I feel that it is a pity to be worthy of the emperor." β
Han Zhong was silent, and Han Jin turned his head and asked curiously, "Then why didn't Daddy let the third sister marry the emperor in the first place?" β
"Your third sister's marriage, for your father, in order to win the trust of your grandfather, even if you want to interfere, you can't interfere. What's more, from a logical point of view, parents and grandparents are the ones who can make decisions about children's marriage, and where can uncles interject? If it weren't for the man's special status, the father wouldn't be able to speak at all. Han Gang looked at his three sons, "I hope you can understand." β
The children fell silent.
There were no words all the way, and when they didn't move, Han Gang and his son returned home.
Getting out of the car, Han Xuan rolled his eyes and asked Han Gang, "Is Daddy going back to the backyard?" β
"No, go to the front yard."
"Ahh Han Xuan looked very regretful, "That kid has to take Seventh Brother back to study, and he can't follow Daddy." β
Han Gang glanced at Han Xuan, and seemed to be smiling, "Fourth brother, you take the seventh brother to see your mother, what you have done to explain honestly first, don't wait for the report to come up below." β
Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, Han Gang ignored him, and called Han Zhong, "Second brother, follow me." β
Following Han Gang to the study in the outer courtyard, Han Zhong was silent.
Walking into the study, walking to the table, and sitting down on the exclusive chair, Han Gang looked back at his son and said, "Sit." β
Han Zhong pulled over a stool and sat down as he said.
When I went out, there were a bunch of public waiting to be reviewed on the desk. Wen, Han Gang flipped through it casually, and seeing that there was nothing particularly urgent, he put down his father. Wen asked, "Second brother, what do you think of Yue Niang?" β
Han Zhong looked at the ground at his feet, "Yue Niang's character is precious, she is not a trouble-making character like a concubine, and she admires Daddy very much, and she will definitely try her best to bridge the contradiction between Daddy and the emperor in the future." β
"That's not what I'm asking." Han Gang stared at his son's eyes, "It's what you think of Yue Niang." β
Han Zhong's face turned pale, "The child doesn't understand what Daddy means." β
Han Gang shook his head, "That's it." β
Asking this kind of thing is also embarrassing for him, even after a thousand years, love is free, and when a father asks his son the same question, most of them are the same answer. It's just the responsibility of being a father that makes him want to talk to his son after confirming his son's true feelings.
The family affairs of the Son of Heaven are not private affairs, they are world affairs. The prime minister could have intervened, but Han Gang gave up at the beginning. Even if there is a reason for him, there is also a reason why he is unwilling to use the power of the prime minister in this matter, power is like human affection, and it is the right way to use it on the blade, and if it is abused, it will only provoke grievances.
And now that the wood is in the boat, the wedding is just around the corner, even if Wang Anshi wants to regret the marriage, he can't do it.
"Daddy."
After being silent for a while, Han Zhong suddenly raised his lowered head.
"What?"
"After Yue Niang enters the palace, how can she ensure her safety?"
Han Zhong knew that his father would definitely not allow someone to use Wang Yueniang to splash his dirty water, and the Queen Mother was the same. His grandfather wanted to keep his granddaughter safe. But the emperor is Wang Yueniang's pillow person after all, and if he wants to start, there are too many opportunities. And that emperor, in Han Zhong's mind, has long been an unscrupulous and ruthless thief.
Han Gang said: "The Queen Mother will pay attention, and the political hall will also try to arrange good people to protect Yue Niang." However, the things in the palace are really indescribable, there are more messy things than anywhere in the world, otherwise in the past seventy or eighty years, there would have been such a man as the emperor who survived in the palace. β
Seeing his son's face change color and become anxious, Han Gang smiled, "Today, my father went to see your grandfather, but your grandfather personally sent a letter to invite you, for Yue Niang." The husband has already discussed with your grandfather, if anything happens to Yue Niang, the emperor will not be the emperor. β
"Really?" Han Zhong exclaimed, and then lowered his head under Han Gang's indifferent gaze, "Since Daddy has discussed it with Grandpa, my son will be relieved." But...... The emperor doesn't know about this yet, what if it does? β
"Of course, I will sue him, as well as the concubine, lest they make a mistake." Han Gang picked up the gong again. Wen, ready to send Han Zhong away, reminded casually, "In seven days, it will be the wedding date of the Son of Heaven's wedding." Don't forget that you have an errand on you, too. β
At the imperial ceremony, except for the current prime minister, as well as the envoy of ceremonies, ceremonial envoys, envoys of the Lu book, and envoys of Qiaodaoton, the responsibilities of other officials in the ceremony are basically with their own officials rather than being sent.
Because Su Song is old, the envoy is Prime Minister Zhangdun; The envoy of the book is the privy envoy Zhang Qi, the ceremonial envoy is Deng Runfu, a scholar of Hanlin, and the new right to send Huang Shang of Kaifeng Mansion to be the envoy of the bridge and the don.
As the prime minister, Han Gang will just stand in his position when the time comes. And Han Zhong's official is the Dali Temple Cheng awarded by Teen, as a member of the court officials, he also has to make a decoration at the wedding.
"Daddy, I don't want to go."
"Okay." Han Gang could understand his son's mood and was very reasonable, "You stay at home and make more preparations." β
Han Zhong's eyes suddenly changed, "Will there be a change at that time?!" β
"What could happen?" Han Gang shook his head, "Just be prepared." β
Han Zhong's gaze searched Han Gang's face, and when he saw that it was as usual, he was slightly relieved.
Looking at Han Gang, he was ready to start reviewing the public. Wen, Han Zhong got up and let the middle secretary and the back official who were waiting outside come in.
"That's right." Watching his son get up, Han Gang suddenly remembered one more thing, "Say, what's going on with the fourth brother and the seventh brother today?" β
Han Zhong came over to save the scene, but Han Gang didn't believe that Wang Yi would send Han Xuan and Han Jin over, let alone take the initiative to come. I also want to know that something special is happening.
"Isn't my sister in a bad mood these two days? A few days ago, I said that the crab stuffed oranges of the Li family in Hekou were good, and the fourth and seventh brothers paid attention to it and went out to buy it today. β
Brother and brother, Han Xuan's fault erased most of Han Zhong's two sentences.
Han Gang nodded, "Well, there's more." β
"Because the Li family is next to the tile, it happens to be noon again."
"Okay, I got it." Han Gang smiled, this little matter, it was enough for Wang Yi to deal with it, and there was another thing that made him more concerned, "Your sister is in a bad mood?" β
"It's been a bit stuffy for the past two days." Han Zhongdao asked again, "Is my sister's wedding date going to be next year?" β
Han Gang sighed, "There's no way, we have to wait for Ruilin's filial piety period to pass." β
Because the Liao people gathered troops in Youyan, Wang Hou was ordered to command the reinforcements of the Beijing division to go north, that is, the front and rear feet, and the news of the death of Wang Hou's mother, Mrs. Anguo, reached the Beijing division.
At that time, there was an uproar in the council, not to mention anything else, the coach lost his mother in battle, there were many signs, and the mood was not good.
Some people mentioned a temporary change of coach, but Han Gang vetoed it. It was not Wang Hou's biological mother who died, but his stepmother.
Therefore, in the end, the council decided that because Wang Hou led the army to go out, the court followed Wang Hou to go out and serve as the second son of Jiyi Writing, and he was also taken away at the same time.
However, Wang Xiang, who stayed in Beijing and was preparing to get married, would not be able to let the court win the favor, and the public and private use would not be used like this. However, Wang Yu, who stayed in Beijing to study, and Wang Xiang, Han Gang's prospective son-in-law, had to put down a qiΔ and rush to Luzhou Township.
Wang Yu was beheaded for three years, and Wang Xiang was his grandson, and he also had to serve a year of mourning - just before his wedding to the daughter of the Han family.
If it is a small family, according to the general practice of the world, it can still get married within the period of 100 days of filial piety, which is also to avoid delaying the two newlyweds and wasting the family wealth prepared for the two weddings. But in a high-ranking family, it would be ridiculous and generous to do so. Therefore, the marriage between Wang Xiang and Han Qiang had to be delayed for a year.
Han Gang didn't care too much about this.
The only daughter of the Han family, it's not that she can't get married, so it's good to stay for an extra year.
At home, it is like a jewel, loved by parents, supported by brothers, and when it comes to the husband's house, it is busy - the Wang family is a big family, Wang Hou has twelve brothers, Wang Xiang also has six brothers, as for Wang Xiang's grandfather, Wang Hou's father, so Wang Shao, the Duke of Xiangmin, also has seven brothers.
The bigger the family, the more matters there are, and relatives should have a good reputation, and the requirements for housewives are very high. It is impossible to be as relaxed as it was when you were not married.
It's just that it looks like the girl is outgoing and can't keep people.
Han Gang sighed again, waved his hand in a reckless manner, and asked Han Zhong to go out, "Go back to study first, and test your Liao affairs at night." β
Han Zhong saluted, and before going out, he asked again, "Zong Rulin should have arrived in the Liao Realm." β
Thinking of the envoy who was ordered to visit the Liao State in a hurry, Han Gang nodded, "Yelu Yixin should have seen it." β
