Chapter 42: The Tide Reaches the East Laos and Touches the Mountain (I)

Zhao Xu's eyes widened and he looked at Cai Jing under His Majesty in surprise.

There is still someone who dares to accuse that Master Han in the palace? I don't know if he is the one who is most respected and grateful to the Queen Mother?!

Zhao Xu still clearly remembers that on the night more than half a year ago, his grandmother pointed at that Han bachelor and scolded, but she couldn't help him at all. Afterwards, some people said that thanks to Master Han, otherwise the second uncle would be proud.

Zhao Xu still remembered his father, that is, not long ago, after Master Han returned to Beijing for the first time, he suddenly decided to go to the palace to listen to the class together, and invited Mr. Wang and Mr. Cheng together, and then fell ill in the palace again. Then, he became the emperor himself.

But...... Is my father really sick?

Mr. Wang, Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Han were all hired by their fathers, which shows that the three of them are the most valued by their fathers. But among them, Mr. Wang and Mr. Cheng are not young, only Mr. Han is the youngest.

Many people say that Master Han is the prime minister left by his father to him.

But I have to go to see my father every day, why did my father never say it?

"If you don't use Han Xuanhui, can't you use it?!"

Zhao Xu only heard the queen's gloomy voice coming from behind, and suddenly his whole body was agitated, he had never seen the queen mother so angry. Zhao Xu couldn't resist the thought of looking back, and his small body sat upright on the throne again.

"No, no. Han Gang's talent is ten times or a hundred times that of a minister, how can he discard it, but he can't reuse it. This is to protect Han Gang, but also for the safety of the Emperor Song. ”

"I'm saying that Han Xuanhui is too young, and it's hard to start and finish well, but isn't this already the resignation of the privy deputy envoy!?" Empress Xiang behind the curtain was even more angry, took a few quick breaths, and said angrily: "...... I kind of understand, you are so big, you just can't see people's good! ”

Cai Jing didn't move at all, without fear, as if it was not himself who was reprimanded by the queen, "Although Han Gang retreated, he followed Su Song." And Han Gang often goes to the palace, hears about the government, and advises the military plane, although there is no name of privy, but there is a cardinal envoy. ”

"Han Xuanhui has a lot of great achievements, when it comes to military affairs, how many people in the court can compare? Who else to ask? Cai Jing, you are the most capable cuoda?! ”

Cai Cheng sighed and scolded the queen for all the ministers in the palace. But the more fiercely she scolded, the more the courtiers had a greater opinion of Han Gang. It's not a help, it's a pullback. Looking at the other side, although Han Gang looked down at the wat board, he could also see that he was helpless.

Half an hour ago, Cai Qu, who was so angry because Zhao Tingzhi and Cai Jing took the lead, suddenly wanted to laugh when he saw Han Gang's appearance.

Feng Shui takes turns, Han Yukun, you also have today.

Cai was really happy, and Zhang Dian was going to be angry.

Cai Jing was suspicious, and the posture of going to the book in distress came out, and everyone had to look up to him.

And with a few words, the whole thing has gone off the rails for him, and it's no longer an idle matter about Fasi and moonshine.

Zhang Dian was still a little confused before, but at this time, where could he not see it? Although it is impossible to attach great importance to Cai Jing because of his foresight like Han Gang, but now that Cai Yuanchang has jumped out of the city, how can he not know the ins and outs of the whole thing?

Cai Jing didn't want to nail Han Gang to death with a hammer, but to step on Han Gang's upper position, even if he would be disappointed for a while. But when you go out of Beijing, someone will inevitably come forward to send you off: Cai Jun is extremely glorious!

His own house has also become a stepping stone, and he was splashed with dung, and Zhang Dian grinded his teeth with hatred,

This bird is going to be Fan Zhongyan!

Xue Xiang observed Han Gang beside him from the corner of his eye. Although Han Gang was an envoy of Xuanhui, he worked in the court, and he came to know the affairs of the Privy Council, that is, he stood under Zhang Dian and above Su Song and Xue Xiang. It's all around, and it's kind.

Han Gang didn't seem to be provoked by Cai Jing, and his expression was very calm, but he was sighing softly, not for Cai Jing, but for the queen.

The queen should let Han Gang herself come forward to argue with Cai Jing, and she herself only needs to make a judgment at the end. You can't be in a position of impartiality, and any decision will be questioned.

Why do you want to stir up different opinions? It is to let the courtiers be below, so that the emperor can maintain a high position, how can there be a reason to roll up his sleeves and go into battle shirtless? Thinking of this, Xue Xiang secretly scolded himself, the one above was not the emperor, but the queen.

Cai Jing was proud in his heart.

The angry words blurted out by the queen looked like she was helping Han Gang, but completely wiped out Han Gang's opportunity to fight back.

When Han Gang was in the palace, no one inside and outside the court knew how sharp his words were, but he was actually a little better at using soldiers than him. Cai Jing chose Han Gang as his opponent in the end, and he also took a risk, completely gambling on it, in order to gain the position of prime minister in the future, he gambled everything he had.

The worst result is that you have to return to the old official and return to the position before entering the Imperial Observatory!

This is even more ruthless than being charged with the liquor tax, which is only for the impeached ministers, indicating that the failed imperial historian has been punished, but it will not take long to recover, and he can rise faster, because he has done his duty.

And the punishment of the deceased official is the most tragic. According to the story, there is a narrative for the crimes of Taiwan. If you return to the deceased official, you will never tell it. The dispatch cases after the promotion and removal of the Taiwan Counsel are directly annotated by the Zhongshu and the decree is removed. Even the liquor tax is the same. And returning the deceased official means that the Taiwan official will no longer be reinstated. The qualifications that once entered the Taiwan Counsel are equivalent to being cancelled. Since then, he has been just an ordinary court official, and he is not even as good as everyone else.

If he is punished like this, unless there is someone to help him in the future and save the situation, he will not even have the qualifications to be appointed as governors, and he will have to survive until he dies. And Zhang Shangying, who has been kicked out of the Taiwan Decree twice and went to supervise the liquor tax, has now become a Zhizhou.

As for chasing down the words since his birth, it will never fall on his head. The impeachment of ministers is the duty of the imperial historian. Even if Empress Taishang wanted to send herself, Han Gang, Cai Qu, and Zhang Dian would have to stop them desperately.

Fortunately, with the queen's current words, Han Gang will not be able to make waves if he has any counterattack in the future. There will be no bad results, and you don't even have to go to the state, you can go directly to the south to supervise the liquor tax.

There was no need to venture into the miasma, and he walked smoothly on the predetermined route, where could he not be surprised.

It's just that on the surface, I can't see Cai Jing's inner pleasure at all, and I saw that he still calmly said to the angry Empress Taishang, "The minister was an official in the old years, and he saw with his own eyes how the people bowed to Han Xuanhui. The world's medicine king temple, since the birth of the pox method, the incense is prosperous, and the temple has Han Xuanhui's golden body. After that, the minister also made Liao. I also saw with my own eyes that the Liao people were in awe of Han Xuanhui. This time, after Xiao Shisan, the privy envoy of the Liao State, had a conversation with Han Xuanhui, the Liao State immediately entered Goryeo. It was not that Han Xuanhui colluded with the Liao people, but that the Liao people feared Han Xuanhui like a god and did not dare to disobey. ”

Han Gang's reputation, of course, will endanger the Son of Heaven in the future.

"Dare to ask Cai Dianyuan is so high, this is Han Gang's guilt? Shouldn't Han Gang make the pox method public? ”

As soon as Cai Jing's words fell, Han Gang immediately asked. He didn't dare to wait any longer, and if he was one step later, the one behind the curtain would pit his teammates again.

"It's not the crime of Xuanhui, but how stupid the world is, which has affected Xuanhui." Cai Jing spoke earnestly, as if he was sincerely sighing for Han Gang, "But since the world is like this, for the sake of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, I have to be wronged by Xuanhui." ”

"I see." Han Gang nodded, indicating understanding.

"It's not all." Cai Jing was gentle and calm, and faced Empress Xiang again: "Han Gang's martial arts strategy is rare in the world. The theory of things, the name of Shilin, the world's scholars, hearing his words, all listened to it in horror. Leading the army outside, invincible, can more appease the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army. As soon as the three armies knew that Han was coming, they were all at ease. In the middle of the court, when encountering a major military event, the imperial court must urgently recruit him for consultation. Although it is outside the two provinces, it is like a person in the two houses. ”

Cai Jing glanced at Cai Qu and continued: "And Cai Qu is in the phase, Han Gang Yin helps him, and Zhang Dian and Han Gang are even more intertwined. The three of them are each other's inside, and they are in charge of the government together, Zeng Bu and Zhang Qi can only draw a promise, and Lu Huiqing has a special honor, but he still has to stay outside. In the long run, can Your Majesty be safe? ”

Cai Cheng finally couldn't laugh at Han Gang's predicament. Cai Jing was obviously courting Zeng Bu and Zhang Qi, and showing favor to Lu Huiqing, who was not present.

"Heart-to-heart and dangerous, hypocritical and argumentative, alarmist, nothing is too much!" Cai said in a cruel voice.

Cai Jing asked rhetorically: "Xianggong thinks Cai Jing is a young man?" ”

In "Xunzi", Confucius once said: The five evils of people are better than those who steal: one is to reach the heart and be dangerous, the second is to be open and strong, the third is to argue falsely, the fourth is to remember the ugly and broad, and the fifth is to be obedient and unpleasant. Shaozheng Mao had all five items, so he was killed by Confucius. Cai did point out that Cai Jing now occupies the first and third of them, smart and sinister, and hypocritical but well-founded.

Cai Qusenran said: "The child property does not destroy the township school, but the child property has also punished Deng Xi!" ”

Cai Jing responded without showing weakness, "The prime minister can punish Cai Jing, and he may punish all the righteous people in the world?" ”

Cai Qu's threats didn't make sense. In fact, it was impossible for the imperial court to kill Cai Jing. Empress Xiang had this idea, and the courtiers, including Han Gang, had to come forward to stop it. But Cai really wants to bring out the following words.

"If you want to trap the king in injustice, how can you be a righteous person?" Zhang Dian immediately cooperated, and said coldly, "The husband who hurts the loyal ministers is similar to this." If the husband is not meritorious, he will not be harmed by the people; If you have merit to win the people, you will use your merit to win the people's injury. ”

He knew that the queen couldn't understand this passage, let alone know the source of the road, and explained in detail, "Loyal ministers are often among villains." If a loyal servant acts without merit and is not praised by the people, the villain will slander him. If the loyal minister has merit and popularity, he will also be slandered by the villain. If the master is confused by it, then it is really let. Bigan and Chang Hong both died because of this; Kezi and Shangrong can only run away; Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong are even more innocent and suspicious; And Fan Li and Wu Zixu also had to leave their hometowns. ”

This is a passage in "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn". It's said that Zichan and Deng Xi.

Zi Chan is the famous minister of Zheng Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period, who has been in power for more than 20 years, in the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, to maintain Zheng Guo from being bullied by strong neighbors, and Deng Xi is also Zheng Guo's doctor, good at legal litigation, and is regarded as the originator of famous families by later generations.

Once, when the water was rising, a rich man in Zheng Guo was drowned, and someone got his body. The wealthy man's family asked to buy the body back. The man who got the body demanded a high price. The rich man's family told Deng Xi about this matter and asked him to come up with an idea. Deng Xi said: "Don't worry, others won't buy it." The man who got the body had no choice but to go to Deng Xi, and Deng Xi said to him: "Don't worry, they can't buy it from anyone else except you." ”

One thing can be said right and wrong, and it can be reasonable, but the intention is not the right way. Every time a new law was issued, Deng Xi would teach people how to exploit loopholes. repeated again and again, the most reckless offspring could not tolerate it, and directly killed Deng Xi.

Therefore, in "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period", it was commented that the villains who slandered loyal ministers were very similar to Deng Xi. If the loyal minister has no merit and is not supported by the world, those villains will use this as a reason to slander the loyal minister; If the loyal ministers can successfully make meritorious deeds and win the praise and respect of the world, the villains will use these achievements and the respect of the world to slander the loyal ministers, saying that they threaten the monarch.

Although in "Zuo Biography", it was another Zheng Guoguo who killed Deng Xi, but the reason and reason are the same.

Cai Jing knew "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" very well, and he knew "Xunzi" and "Spring and Autumn" even better, but he didn't care, because he knew that when he openly said Han Gang's threat, the courtiers would start to use this reason to attack Han Gang in the future.

Everyone knew that Han Gang was too young, his status did not match his age, and his ability and fame were even more fearful, and the imperial court had every reason to suppress him. But everyone was waiting for others to stand up, and they were all afraid of Han Gang's counterattack, but Cai Jing didn't care, he dared to say, dare to do, and dare to gamble.

"Han Gang is talented, famous, and long-looking, and has won the hearts of the people, the military, and the morale, and," Cai Jing raised his eyes and looked up, "...... Sacred Heart! If he is old, Cai Jing will never say much. But Han Gang has just passed and is now in and out of the two provinces, how can people not worry about his future position and control the government for decades? If so, where will the Son of Heaven live? ”

Cai Jing's questioning shook the court, and in the face of the heart-punishing theory, Han Gang was calmer than Cai Jing.

"The palace impeached Han Gang, but it was the intention of others?"

Cai Jing was awe-inspiring: "This is Cai Jing's heart, loyal to things, loyal to the king." Loyalty to the country. It is nothing more than the word 'loyalty'. ”

"In that case, it's easy to solve." Han Gang calmly said to Cai Jing: "As long as the palace is willing to be an official outside Beijing for life, Han Gang will not enter the two mansions for the rest of his life." ”
