Chapter 31: The Ninefold Self-Advance and Retreat (6)
When Han Gang got the news that the thirteen langs of the Wang family were sent back by the Son of Heaven, it was already the evening of the next day.
According to the family sent by the Wang family to deliver the message, the Son of Heaven personally issued an order for the Zhongguan to send Shisanlang home, and there were many rewards. The Wang family relayed the words of the Zhongguan: It was given by the official family and the saints and several ladies in the palace - the saints and ladies were the titles of the eunuchs and maids in the palace to the queen and concubines - and the words were full of pride in the little master.
In fact, before this, as early as when he received the order from the palace, Su Song had already sent someone to inform Wang Shao's family and Han Gang. Zhilu Dao is the deputy capital of the Imperial Medicine Institute in the palace who saved Wang Yu, in addition to lamenting the luck of Wang Shao's thirteenth son, that is, admiring his impromptu adaptability.
But at this time, Han Gang told the truth. For Wang Yu at a critical juncture, he even didn't forget to leave a piece of evidence so that he could use it to arrest the thief and bring him to justice, and the previous admiration turned into an amazement for the intelligence and wisdom of the little thirteen of the Wang family.
Wang Yi was also full of surprise: "The thirteenth brother of Zhilu Dao is smart when he is a child, but he didn't expect to be so smart." She dared a little, "If only a few children in the family could have a seven-eight achievement." ”
Among Han Gang's several children, there is no genius with outstanding qualifications, like Bai Juyi, who can know nothing in six months, or the level of today's Wang Yu, Han Gang does not expect. But even Han Gang himself, he didn't have the face to say that he could be on the same level as Wang Yu when he was a child.
"The little thirteen of the Wang family is much smarter than when he was a husband." Han Gang said with a smile, "Zichun Privy has always been looking forward to having another Jinshi in the family, so now I finally don't have to worry about it." Ten or twenty years later, Bao Zhun is a Jinshi and the first. ”
Along with the case of Wang Yu's abduction, the case of the humiliation of the lord of Zhenyang County, a British public, was solved at the same time, which was committed by the same gang. Back then, the gang abducted the county lord of Zhenyang, and after the humiliation, they sold her to a rich family who wanted to take a concubine. And the rich man who mistakenly bought the daughter of the British princess, learned the true identity of the county lord of Zhenyang, and did not dare to insult her, but quietly sent her home.
For the sake of her daughter's name, the British government did not publicize the matter, but there have always been only rumors and no secrets in the capital, and they spread in a blink of an eye.
This case, which made the clan's face disgraced, has finally been solved after many years. Legally, the captured prisoners can basically find two monks for themselves to confess - if they commit a crime, even if they encounter amnesty, they don't think they can escape. However, it was a five or six-year-old child who sent them to the execution ground, and this strange story immediately caused a sensation in the whole city of Tokyo.
"I heard that several families are ready to propose to the thirteenth brother of the Wang family." Two days later, Han Gang heard the news that Wang Yi, who had just returned from Wang's house, said.
"The future jinshi must be decided first." Han Gang smiled.
Han Gang finally found that he had a premonition that Wang Yu would be fine, not because of how good his intuition was, nor because he knew his son like Wang Shao, but because of the little impression left over from the old days, like silt at the bottom of the river, rising from the depths of his memory. This fragmented memory only gave Han Gang a vague feeling that day, and now it is all presented in front of him.
Of course, Han Gang didn't expect that the thirteenth brother of the Wang family would be the protagonist of a story that he was once familiar with. And that one story happened right in front of my eyes.
However, Han Gang was not too surprised, he had seen too many historical celebrities, not to mention Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi and other real-life characters, that is, He and Cao in the legendary Eight Immortals, Han Gang had all taken pictures and spoke.
He Xiangu is still telling fortunes in Yongzhou on Jinghu South Road, and she is to blame, Zhang Dian and Li Xin have both asked her to sentence her fate, but she has been famous for almost fifty years, and I heard that she is a shriveled and toothless old woman, so Han Gang has little interest. However, he went from the capital to Guangxi, and from Guangxi back to the capital, two round-trips, a total of four times through Yongzhou, nothing to do, Han Gang also took the time to see her on this return trip.
Hiding his identity and wearing an ordinary Confucian shirt, Han Gang went to ask about his family and future. The answer I got was a vague Jianghu warlock's tone, the future is bright, the road is tortuous, if you can abide by the right path, you can walk on the ground, and you can basically explain what you say, but you can't say it wrong, it's not enough to deceive Han Gang, the old Jianghu.
As for Uncle Cao Guo, people are even easier to find. Think about what is the surname of the current Empress Dowager? Emperor Cao's two younger brothers, Han Gang has seen them, and the one who is good is the eldest Cao Tong. At the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting a few days ago, Han Gang also saw him. A very wealthy person, acting very low-key, with the false title of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions and the observer, standing in front of the court meeting, there are indeed rumors about the cultivation of Neidan, but I have not heard that he has seen Lu Chunyang.
It was because of Cao Tong's good way that Han Gang was able to chat with him after the Great Dynasty Meeting - if there is anyone in the court who has the closest relationship with the legendary immortals, it is none other than him Han Gang. It's just that Han Gang still denies his identity as a disciple of the Medicine King, which makes Cao Tong disappointed.
In the stories of later generations, the second child of the Cao family who was cut off by Bao Zheng with a tiger head is honestly guarding the door, and has never heard of any bad deeds - basically the relatives at this time are more honest than the other, on the one hand, the palace is strictly controlled, and the Empress Dowager Cao and the Empress Dowager Gao never ask for money for their own families, on the other hand, the scholars and doctors are like wolves and tigers, and the relatives and eunuchs dare to jump, and they are immediately beaten to death with a stick. It doesn't matter what the old or new parties are, as soon as they encounter a class enemy, they will immediately unite and attack it.
Because his son lived in the palace for one night and was also taken care of by the people in the palace for one night, Wang Shao specially went to the palace to express his gratitude to the Son of Heaven.
Wang Shao was overjoyed at Wang Yu's safe return, and held a banquet for this. However, everyone is afraid that the award will be excessive, and the child will die prematurely, so there is no celebration of major events, but I also invited Han Gang and a few acquaintances to eat and drink well.
……………………
After Wang Yu's incident, Zhao Ji's bad mood was much better because of the difficult situation of his heirs.
And the peace in the court did not end because of the end of the Shangyuan Festival, although the current peaceful time seems to be just the calm before the storm, but for today, who has long been accustomed to courtiers attacking each other with bullet badges, he will only enjoy the purity of the ears at the moment, and will not hope that such stability can be maintained for a long time.
After a period of time, Zhao Ji finally remembered Han Gang - in fact, it was also Han Gang who lined up to the point, and from the order of the cabinet gate, it was time for him to enter the Hajj. If Han Gang can be jumped over, it will not be a cold reception, but a punishment. No fault is punished, and it is impossible to say anything.
After receiving a summons from the palace and confirming that he would enter the palace two days later, Han Gang smiled on the newly opened cotton shop building: "I can finally get out of Beijing." ”
Zhang Dian didn't laugh, he didn't talk about this matter when he asked Han Gang today, "I heard that Yukun and you have some friendship with Shen Kuo?" ”
Han Gang didn't know why Lu Dao Zhangdun suddenly mentioned the current three envoys and Hanlin Bachelor - in fact, in the past few years, Shen Kuo's official rank and dispatch have been pressed by Han Gang, especially after the end of the level war a year ago, Han Gang steadily overtook Shen Kuo, but now he has pressed himself, this is the result of the age and qualifications reaching the standard, once he starts to be promoted, there is no obstacle at all - speaking by name, it seems that Zhang Kuo has some opinions about Shen Kuo.
"I don't know what Shen Cunzhong has done?" Han Gang asked.
"He wrote to Wu Xianggong......"
Zhang Dan's words had just begun, and Han Gang immediately interrupted in surprise: "Give Wu Xianggong a book?!" ”
"That's right, it's to write to Wu Xianggong." Zhang's cold voice emphasized the last five words.
"What a mess!" Han Gang said immediately.
Whether it is a bachelor of Hanlin or a third envoy, they are not subordinate officials of Zhongshu, how to give Wu Chong a book, and if he wants to write a book, he should also give it to the Son of Heaven. According to later generations, this was an organizational mistake.
"He's a fool there, and he couldn't be smarter." Zhang Dian sneered, "Shen Kuo said that the two Zhejiang service laws are not conducive to the people, and it should be easier. Wu Xianggong took his words today and began to look for the exemption law......" snorted fiercely, Zhang Dian suddenly became violent, and slapped the dishes on the table clanging, "The new law is implemented on the Liangzhejiang Road, but there is no problem with what he said in person!" ”
Han Gang frowned, hearing Zhang Dian say this, he also felt that Shen Kuo really didn't know how to be a man.
Han Gang also knew that in order to determine whether the farmland water conservancy law could be effective, Wang Anshi asked Shen Kuo to go to the two Zhejiang water conservancy areas and inspect the implementation of the new law in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Later, when the two Zhejiang provinces implemented the farmland water conservancy law and the exemption law, the Son of Heaven asked Wang Anshi: 'Is this a matter of feasibility or not?' Wang Anshi took Shen Kuo's report as evidence, saying, "Kuo is a native of the country, he knows his interests and interests, and his sex is also secretive, so he should not dare to act lightly." ’
But now that Wang Anshi has stepped down, seeing that the Son of Heaven has a plan to favor the old party, Shen Kuo jumped out and said that there was a problem with the exemption law. To put it mildly, this is called seeing the wind and making the rudder, and doing things is too unauthentic.
"Xiangfu once said that Shen Kuo is a Renren." Zhang Dian had a straight face, not polite at all, "In today's view, there is really nothing wrong!" ”
Ren is a traitor, Han Gang also knows that Wang Anshi does not want to see Shen Kuo, although he does not deny Shen Kuo's talent, but when Zhao Ji was ready to reuse Shen Kuo two years ago, he was blocked at Wang Anshi's level. Shen Kuo was promoted to the position of Hanlin bachelor and the third envoy of power, or after Wang Anshi's resignation.
"Shen Cunzhong is soft-natured, maybe he didn't dare to say anything about the problem at the beginning." Han Gang tried to help Shen Kuo explain. He also has some friendship with Shen Kuo, and the relationship is not evil.
Zhang Dian didn't answer, his eyes stared at Han Gang, his lips pursed, and he didn't move. There was silence in the box, and after a while, Han Gang shook his head and smiled, in the officialdom, what he sees is only the result, whether it is personality or motivation, no one cares.
"What are you going to do with Shen Cunzhong?" Han Gang asked.
"He has his own Imperial Observatory to deal with him!"
