Chapter 42: Emperor Zuo's Thoughts Are Boundless (I)
Coming out of the Duancheng Hall where the Son of Heaven lived, Lu Huiqing returned to the residence arranged by the Qingcheng Palace.
In this ceremony, there are not many things that can be done, and the important work is carried out by the prime minister. The so-called deputy minister only has the share of standing aside.
Today's canon, in many places, refers to the "Kaiyuan Ceremony", that is, the etiquette system compiled by the Tang Ming Emperor. At that time, the position of the governor was the prime minister, and his status was still above the Pingzhang affairs under the Tongzhong Shumen. It was only in the Song Dynasty that he became the deputy of Ping Zhangshi. Of course, it was impossible for him to be sent as a steward in the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Huiqing's room is not big, and there is not much decoration, and even the shape of the utensils used in the room is mainly simple. However, the Qingcheng Palace could not accommodate many people, but now thousands of officials have poured in, and it is possible to have the privilege of having a single room that has already slaughtered the deacon. and then to the ministers below, there are four or five people, more than a dozen people squeezed into a room. And tens of thousands of soldiers can only live in tents outside the palace.
Lu Huiqing sat down on the round pier, took out a thin scroll from his cuff, opened it and looked at it carefully. A pen and ink inkstone was placed on the table, and Lu Huiqing picked up the pen from time to time to draw dots on the paper.
I don't know how long it took, the door was knocked lightly twice, and Lu Shengqing immediately pushed the door and walked in, but he said: "Bad luck." ”
"What's wrong?" Lu Huiqing looked away from the scroll in his hand and looked at his younger brother.
"I just met Han Gang." Lu Shengqing sat down and said. sincerely invited, but Han Gang didn't give face at all, which made Lu Huiqing's younger brother have some opinions about Han Gang.
"He's right-handed, and his residence is naturally nearby." Lu Huiqing didn't react, but told her younger brother, "Don't move around when you go back later, after nightfall, the control in the palace will be strict." It's a bit wrong, and it's inevitable that you'll be targeted by the imperial history. ”
"Little brother understands." Lu Shengqing replied, still indignant, "The eldest brother was kind, but he treated him as a donkey's liver and lungs, and went to the ordnance prison to find his own hardships." ”
Lu Huiqing's mood is very calm: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and their origins are interesting." Han Gang has no intention, so that's it, how can he force it. ”
"It's okay if he doesn't come, so he won't have trouble with the hand-practice method." Where Lu Shengqing sat down, Lu Huiqing was holding a scroll of manuscripts, and he happened to see it clearly.
Lu Huiqing put the scroll in his hand on the table. This volume is the manuscript of the regulations in the Hand Act. The large and small characters are densely written, and there is hardly much blank space.
The Hand Practice Law is different from other bills introduced by the New Party before, from planning to drafting, to implementation, it will be presided over and controlled by Lu Huiqing, which has nothing to do with Wang Anshi at all, and is a new law that belongs to him.
If you want to achieve meritorious deeds, you must not follow the merits of your predecessors. If he, Lu Huiqing, is just 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui' - just like Han Gang said to Zhang Dian the day before yesterday - then when people mention the new law in the future, they will only think of Wang Anshi.
When it comes to Lu Huiqing, the most he says is 'Ah, he has some credit.' How can Lu Huiqing be willing?!
Therefore, Lu Huiqing learned from the experience of the old system in the Tang Dynasty and prepared to put the practical method on the table, so that the people could report their own acres and land grades, and collect taxes accordingly.
"If the hand practice method can be successful, there will be nowhere to hide in the hidden fields in the township, and the court's financial plans can be a little more lenient." Lu Huiqing smiled and sighed, and pointed to the manuscript of the regulations on the table: "Han Gang is not an idle person, he has settled hundreds of thousands of displaced people without seeing the chaos, which shows that he has a talent for governance. If he helps, it will be easier to implement the practical method. ”
Lu Shengqing was not convinced: "If Han Gang wants to stay out of the matter, it's better for him to go, in the past, when the new law was implemented, he just used his mouth, how could he have contributed?" Now they don't expect him to move. As long as it doesn't add to the chaos. ”
"Don't underestimate Han Gang." Lu Huiqing shook his head, he would not despise Han Gang. His younger brother had not had much contact with Wang Anshi's son-in-law, and his mouth was hard, refusing to admit Han Gang's talent. But Lu Huiqing knew very well that Han Gang's talent would not be worse than his own: "Han Gang went to the Ordnance Prison, saying that Xiao Gui Cao followed, but in fact, he must make some moves. Otherwise, why would he bother for this position? He can't be underestimated, do you want to end up like Yang Hui? ”
"Didn't he go to build a ship?" Lu Shengqing asked in surprise, "Didn't Zhang Zihou say that after he came back?" It is said that Han Gang's calculations are related to the ship...... Unless Han San lied to him. ”
"Han Gang won't!" Lu Huiqing shook her head again. He didn't think Han Gang would deceive Zhang. Although Han Gang told his plan so that Zhang Dian could relay it to himself, Lu Huiqing was sure that Han Gang would not be so confused as to deceive Zhang Den.
"Han Gang can sell a pass and cover up some of the facts, but he will never lie. Zhang Zihou is actually very paranoid, otherwise he would not have given up on the Jinshi and went to retake the Jinshi. When the relationship is good, you can put your heart in your heart - this is the case with Su Shi - but if you become an enemy, you will also turn your face and deny people. If Han Gang really deceived Zhang Dan, no matter how good his friendship was, it would be ruined...... He shouldn't be so stupid. ”
"If Han Gang is really ready to build a ship, it will be a big joke." Lu Shengqing laughed, "If Han Gang is a southerner, it doesn't matter, he is a Kansai person, and the water he sees will be Tao River Weishui, plus a Yellow River." In his eyes, Jin Mingchi is afraid that it is like the sea. What kind of ship can he build? When he is reincarnated in the next life, he will probably have the ability to build a boat to Fujian. ”
The Lu family is a big family in Fujian, and among their relatives and friends, there are many people who do maritime trade business. Fujianese people went to Goryeo a lot, and there were many people with the surname Lin as officials in the Goryeo court. In recent years, the imperial court has suddenly become closer to Goryeo, and it is not because there are more and more Fujianese in the court, and the imperial court has a deeper understanding of the country that is far away from the ocean.
"Goryeo ......" Lu Huiqing suddenly remembered something, "Brother Wei also thought of ordering the Mingzhou Shipyard to build a huge boat with thousands of materials to carry envoys across the sea to deter the Goryeo Wang." Surely they will come to the west at that time. It's just that I just took up the post of political affairs hall, and the time is in a hurry, and there is no action yet. I don't know if Han Gang is playing this ......"
Lu Huiqing was halfway through speaking, but he gradually slowed down, and his tone became more and more confused.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Lu Shengqing hurriedly asked.
"Han Gang once said to himself in front of the Son of Heaven that he was learning to learn things, so what he did in the weapons prison was inevitably to promote the truth of learning about things. Just building a ship is not a big deal......" Lu Huiqing has actually been speculating about Han Gang's thoughts and the means he is going to use these days, but he has never had a clue, he frowned and thought for a while, and finally gave up, "Forget it, as long as Zhang Zai doesn't enter the Beijing Division, what can he do?" ”
Lu Shengqing frowned: "...... There are some differences between Zhang Zaizhi's learning and Han Gang's Gewu. In order to annotate the "Preface to the Poem", he looked through the theories of many schools of thought today. Moreover, Lu Huiqing is busy with political affairs, and many of the parts he participated in in the Economic and Righteous Bureau were written by Lu Shengqing on his behalf. When it comes to the theory of scripture and righteousness, he is not much weaker than Lu Huiqing, "Zhang Zai talks more about righteousness in Guanxi, and the theory of heaven and man is also based on Meng's, and the void is qi and has nothing to do with Gewu." How did he get to Han Gang's side, it was completely changed. ”
In fact, this doubt is also in Lu Huiqing's heart. Although he hasn't dealt with Zhang Zai much, his relationship with Zhang Zai's younger brother Zhang Jian is even worse. But Cheng Hao still knows him, and when Cheng Hao was still in the Department of Regulations of the Three Divisions, he also had many conversations, and Confucianism also mentioned it a lot, and he had also heard of the word Gewu. It's just that what Han Gang said is knowledgeable, but it is completely different from Cheng Hao's.
Han Gang studied with Zhang Zai, and studied with Cheng Hao when he first went to Beijing. But the theory of learning from things that he advocated is different from Zhang Zai and Cheng Hao, where did this come from?
What do saints know? This is! Han Gang doesn't have the ability.
In terms of intelligence, Han Gang is indeed superior, but he is not far superior.
Lu Huiqing would not think that young people in their early twenties would have any original ideas on the principles of the Great Dao, and they would inevitably inherit them.
Could it still be Sun Simiao? That's even more of a joke. The identity that Han Gang refused to admit was something that could not be taken out explicitly. Moreover, Lu Huiqing has also read the medical books left by Sun Simiao, and he has not talked about the ingredients of learning from things at all. Although Emperor Wen of Sui had recruited him as a doctor of the country, Sun Simiao did not have any achievements in Confucianism. It doesn't make sense to lean on Sun Simiao's reasoning from Han Gang.
"I can only watch first." Lu Huiqing sighed and let out a long sigh, he really couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Han Gang's gourd. You can't intervene because of this doubt.
Han Jiang also recommended Han Gang to serve as the inspector of the Zhongshu capital and the two positions of the inspector of the armament, if Han Gang took over the post of the inspector of the Zhongshu capital first, Lu Huiqing would definitely do his best to prevent him from taking over the remaining one - Han Jiang's recommendation was too targeted, anyone who saw it would know that Lu Dao was aimed at him Lu Huiqing's actions, and he would stop it, even Wang Anshi would not be able to comment.
But now that Han Gang has only served as the judge of the military weapons superintendent, and has given up the official work of the fifth room inspection of the Zhongshu, Lu Huiqing can no longer make a move on him. Otherwise, you will be clearly unable to get along with Wang Anshi. And Zhang Dian will not sit idly by.
It's just that he immediately smiled slightly, very confident, he had been in the ordnance prison for two years, and he had already laid a solid foundation: "But no matter what Han Gang wants to do, I must be the first to know the Tao." ”
Lu Shengqing nodded, and said with a smile: "Maybe Han Gang is still smart, and after some calculations, it can't succeed, but it's a joke." ”
Lu Huiqing also laughed: "Then I don't know." ”
