Chapter 48: The Siren Go Far and Long (4)

[The third update, the final chapter of this volume.] Continue to solicit red tickets and collections. 】

Although Zhang and Cheng were political enemies of each other, they didn't know Zhang Yu, who had no official status, until they listened to Han Gang's introduction, they were surprised to find that this rich old man with great grace in front of them turned out to be the scum of the legendary fornicating mother-in-law.

Zhang Jian was full of color, and he was about to have a seizure. Cheng Hao pulled Zhang Jian and reminded him not to get angry, Zhang Jian was angry in his heart, but he was blocked by Cheng Hao, but he had to look back at Han Gang fiercely.

Zhang Yu fornicated with his mother-in-law, Zhang Dian fornicated with his uncle and concubine, and the conduct of both father and son was despicable. Cheng Hao and Zhang Jian are all devout Confucianists, and the most important is Changlun discipline. For Zhang Yu's unethical behavior, they hated it deeply. But both of them had the idea of a gentleman hiding the evil of people and promoting the beauty of people, and they didn't mention it in front of Han Gang, but they didn't expect Han Gang to get so close to Zhang Yu.

Han Gang saved the life of Zhang Dian on the Kansai Road, Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao also knew the Tao, and they also knew that for this reason, Han Gang was invited to banquets by Zhang Dian many times. Although he understood that Zhang Yu came to see him off because of Han Gang and Liu Zhongwu's life-saving grace, Zhang Jian was still very unhappy, and Cheng Hao, who had always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help frowning.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Zhang Yu and Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao, Han Gang couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, no one from Wang Anshi's side came to see him off, Zhang Dian explained that Wang Anshi himself would not come because of his noble status, but if Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, or Wang Bian came, then the trouble would really be big.

The matter of seeing off is quite small, if he pokes out the matter of the Fa-changing faction, it will offend Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao to death, needless to say, it will definitely be notorious.

However, Wang, Lu and the others will not help him publicize the few desperate strategies he came up with, and Han Gang can be sure that they will not even admit the existence of these strategies, but will only say that each and every one of them is for the benefit of the country and the people. It's about their image and prestige, and it doesn't matter more to politicians.

Regardless of the announcement of Han Qi and others' lending and interest loans, if the name of Qingmiao Loan was changed and the purpose of adding money to low-level officials was to crack down on the anti-law faction, it reached the ears of the Son of Heaven, what would Zhao Ji think in his heart? Even in the past, Han Qi and Lu Gong wrote Sima Guang and their faction to attack the new law and attack the members of the New Party, they still had to write a few words on their minds that they were worried about the country and the people.

You can do partisan strife things, but you can't say it, this is the unspoken rule. can't be as confused as Ouyang Xiu, he was provoked by Lu Yijian and wrote a friend theory, saying that villains can form a party, and a gentleman can also form a party. Well-organized political parties with the same goals, the same program, and only in the future will exist, but at this time, all parties, without exception, are nothing more than interest groups vying for power and profit, and even if they are not now, they will certainly be in the future. That's why Fan Zhongyan is tragic, and Ouyang Xiu, who has no consciousness, is also tragic, and he hasn't washed all the dirty water until now.

Therefore, Han Gang was very relieved, and he could act as a buffer between the two division commanders and Zhang Yu with a smile. Just as Cheng Hao admonished Han Gang earlier, acting and speaking should not go against human feelings, even if Zhang Yu misbehaved in the past, it was not wrong for him to come to serve the two life-saving benefactors, it was an act of gratitude and retribution. Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao couldn't have a seizure because of this, let alone drive Zhang Yu away, after all, they were just Han Gang's teacher, and there was a Liu Zhongwu next to him.

Zhang Jian endured hard, not wanting to lose his identity in front of his disciples, Cheng Hao's temperament was a little more free, and he let go of the wry smile twice, fortunately, the two of them were Han Gang's elders, and they didn't have to send Han Gang to the outskirts of the city ten miles away.

Just outside the city gate, I found a clean and refreshing hotel. Several people sat down on the second floor. Let the store serve wine and food, and persuade each to have a few glasses of wine. It's all just a light taste, and I don't drink too much.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Yu asked: "Yukun has been living in Beijing for a month, and now he is about to leave Beijing, I don't know if I am reluctant?" ”

Han Gang thought for a moment and replied: "Tokyo is rich and prosperous, the best in the world, but it is not a suitable place to live. ”

"Is it because there are too many people and I'm not used to living there?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

“…… Maybe. Han Gang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Although he has been in a million-level city for a long time in the past, and those million-level cities are not ranked, in his current identity, the only city with a population of one million that he has experienced is Tokyo Kaifeng.

"I'm afraid it's not all!" Zhang Yu seemed to see through Han Gang's vague words, and asked to the bottom of it.

"If you can listen to the teachings of the two gentlemen, then it doesn't matter where you live. But I'm still worried! ”

"Worried about Qinzhou? But which good daughter is it? Zhang Yuha said with a smile, "No wonder Yukun would refuse Wang Dashen's recommendation." If you nod your head, you will be able to do things in the Chinese book. ”

Han Gang was stunned again, and after thinking about it, he suddenly understood Zhang Yu's intentions. Glancing at Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao, who were shocked, I was secretly happy in my heart, Zhang Yu really helped me this way. He smiled modestly: "It has nothing to do with children's personal affairs, it's just thinking about doing things from beginning to end." ”

Cheng Hao nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Zhang Jian's face was also a little pale, and he said: "Ordinary people are looking forward to being an official in Tokyo, but Yukun, you are going out." Don't be tempted by officials, and what you have learned in your life will not be in vain. ”

"The same is the Son of Heaven governing affairs, and it should not be divided into inside and outside Beijing. Han Gang also acted according to the teachings of the gentlemen in the past. ”

Han Gang and Zhang Yu sang together, which eased the atmosphere at the banquet a little.

For Han Gang's heart, although Tokyo is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. He had fanned the flames before, and now he had to watch the fire from the other side. stirring up the wind and rain on the stage of the capital, after getting over the addiction, Han Gang was happy to leave the next storm a little farther away and hide in Qinzhou to earn his military merits.

During the period when Wang Anshi was consolidating his position, Wang Shao would inevitably be able to get the greatest support. As long as no one pulls the hind legs, the difficulty of opening the side of Hehuang is actually not high, after all, according to Wang Shao's plan in "Pingrong Strategy", his main task is not to fight, but to subdue. Even if the sword is used, it is still aimed at killing a hundred people.

Han Gang still remembers once talking to Wang Shao about the opening of the border and the expansion of the territory in the past dynasties, in the four hundred years of the Yan and Han dynasties, Han Gang admired Wei Huo and praised Ban Ma, but at that time Wang Shao said that these were not bad, but what he envied the most was Sima Xiangru. Han Gang is very strange, what is there to envy about the literati who write some poems to seduce widows? Asked what was going on, Wang Shao sighed and replied, 'No one is making trouble'. Getting the hint, Han Gang found Sima Xiangru's biography from his memory, and he had to nod with a wry smile.

Sima Xiangru was sent to the southwest of the country, 'to Shu, Shu Taishou below the suburbs to welcome, the county order to bear the crossbow arrow pioneer, Shu people to favor. Compared with the support received by Sima Xiangru, Wang Shao's situation is very sad. At least Han Gang couldn't imagine that when Wang Shao arrived in Qinzhou, Li Shizhong led a group of officials out of the city to greet him, and Dou Shunqing, Xiang Bao and others crossed the bow and held crossbows to fight for Wang Shao. It's crazy.

It's really better than people to die, and goods to be thrown away, but which day after that can be compared with the Han Dynasty, which is full of fearless pioneering spirit? Even the Tang Dynasty, after the Anshi Rebellion, became a little girl who was ravaged by others. It's like the Han Dynasty, even in the last years of the warlord melee, it still controls the territory on the border, chasing the Wuhuan and Qiang people, these foreign races fight, 'the country is always destroyed by weakness, and the Han independence is destroyed by strength' is the truth.

Since ancient times, farewells have been expressed with poems, but Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao have no intention of doing so. Han Gang is not good at poetry, and they will not make it difficult for Han Gang. After the feast, they gave Han Gang Yinyin's advice, and waved goodbye to him. As an official, it is common for people to give away today and to give away to themselves tomorrow, and there is no longer the slightest child.

Han Gang threw the two division commanders to the ground, and then turned over and got on his horse. Liu Zhongwu waited for a while, and when he saw that Han Gang finally came over, he couldn't wait to leave again immediately. Zhang Yu and Lu Ming had to send another ride, and according to them, they had to go ten miles outside the city before turning back.

It's just that it didn't take long for a little girl to block the road, shouting at Han Gang and them: "But Han Guanren from Qinzhou? ”

Han Gang looked at the little girl in surprise: "I am Han Gang!" You are ......"

"Isn't this the little envoy beside Little Lady Zhou?" Zhang Yu suddenly broke the identity of the little girl, and then turned to Han Gang and laughed in a low voice: "Congratulations to Yukun." ”

"Little maid Mowen, my sister wants to say a few words to Han Guanren." Mo Wen said seriously, Han Gang looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that not far away, next to the big tree, by the carriage, a pretty figure was standing quietly, and a pair of eyes like autumn water were also looking at him fixedly.

Han Gang said sorry to Zhang Yu and them, and then dismounted and walked towards Zhou Nan. As he got closer, Han Gang could clearly see that on Zhou Nan's face, there was joy, shyness, and obvious nervousness.

"Is Little Lady Zhou here to see Han Gang?"

Han Gang's single knife straight into caught Zhou Nan off guard, and she was good at singing like a lark, and she suddenly became clumsy: "...... Be...... It's to see, no, it's to send off officials. ”

"Then thank you little lady for your kindness."

"No, ......" Zhou Nan raised his head very boldly, a pair of eyes that were originally soft waves became firm, and he looked at Han Gang, "The little girl doesn't want to send the official, she just hopes to be able to accompany the king often." ”

This time it was Han Gang's turn to be stunned. It is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauty. Speaking of which, he also has a good impression of Zhou Nan. A girl who can protect her innocence in a filthy place where materialism is rampant is indeed very admirable. Although there is a law that prostitutes are forbidden to accompany the night, and can only be limited to drinking and singing and dancing, in fact, there is never a shortage of official prostitutes accompanying the night, and Zhou Nan's insistence is even more commendable. And she likes herself again, how can Han Gang not be impressed?

But Han Gang didn't know how long Zhou Nan's heart could be maintained, and how long could she protect herself in the sewage tank of the Teaching Workshop Division? Han Gang couldn't be sure, and he couldn't be sure.

Zhou Nan stood by the car, quietly waiting for Han Gang's answer, but his body was trembling slightly. The daughter's family's thoughts are spread out in the sun, like waiting for the final verdict in the court.

Han Gang's silence made Zhou Nan's heart sink little by little. A sour feeling welled up in my heart, and I was overwhelmed with grief, and tears slipped down my face and fell to the ground. Zhou Nan turned around sharply and took out a sweat towel to wipe away his tears. Turning around, she took out a small package from the car, which was the gift she was going to give to Han Gang, and smiled reluctantly: "The posture of the little woman Pu Liu is indeed not enough to serve the gentleman." This is a good thing for the officials, it only represents a little bit of the little woman's heart, and I hope the officials will not refuse. ”

Looking at Zhou Nanqiang's smile as he endured the pain, Han Gang was full of pity. He shook his head slightly, and without excuse, he only took a dagger from his bosom. The knife was drawn out of its sheath, and the silver light on the blade flashed. This is the silver dagger that Wang Shao gave to Han Gang as a gift to Han Gang on the same day, which was originally a gift from the Fan people to Wang Shao when he was in Guwei Village. Han Gang took it with him, but because he had seen too much of the Water Margin, he was afraid of sweat medicine, arsenic or something, so he used it to test the poison.

Zhou Nan looked at Han Gang in confusion. But he saw Han Gang slash the dagger in the palm of his left hand, and immediately pulled a shallow bloody mouth. Zhou Nan covered his mouth violently and suppressed the scream in his throat.

Han Gang handed over the dagger with a little blood on the tip of the blade, and said, "Please wait for another three years, in three years, I should be able to return to Tokyo, and I should have enough strength to let the little lady get out of the sea of suffering." At that time, if the little lady's mind is still today, Han Gang will live up to you. ”

Looking at the dagger handed to her, tears slipped down Zhou Nan's face again, but it was not because she was sad, but when she saw that the shallow wound on Han Gang's hand was still oozing blood, she immediately forgot to cry, and hurriedly took her sweat towel to help Han Gang bandage it.

Zhou Nan's skills in bandaging the wound were much worse than those rough and miscellaneous people in the Gangu Sanatorium, and the long sweat towel was twisted and rolled around the wound, which really stopped the bleeding, but this was also the reason why the wound was not big in the first place.

Han Gang looked back at his companions who were waiting on the official road, and said to Zhou Nan: "The trip can't be delayed any longer, there are still dozens of miles to catch up today." Nanniang, you don't have to think about it, just take good care of yourself. Maybe it won't take three years before we can meet again. ”

Han Gang wanted to leave, "Official! Zhou Nan shouted timidly and handed over the small package again.

Han Gang smiled, spread out his left hand, and the blood-stained silk scarf was displayed in front of Zhou Nan's eyes: "This is enough." ”

only cared about a piece of heart and was not moved by wealth, Zhou Nan finally felt at ease. She held the dagger tightly to her chest, and she was undoubtedly a beloved.

Han Gang walked back. Zhou Nan chased a few steps and shouted towards Han Gang: "Official, don't forget what you said!" The little girl will wait for you for three years. ”

Han Gang Ha Lu Ha smiled: "I Han Gang has deceived people a lot, but I never deceive." ”

In Zhou Nan's eyes, Han Gang jumped on his horse, waved goodbye, and gradually headed west.
