Chapter 32: Honor and Disgrace Without Restraint (Part II)
Han Gang and Li Nangong talked, with a sincere and humble attitude, and did not mention the rudeness of the people in Henan Mansion, and seemed to take it to heart at all.
Li Nangong and his subordinates, as well as Han Gang's staff, were all very puzzled by his attitude. It is said that the young man is uninhibited, and Han Gang is in high spirits, and he is less than thirty years old when he is in charge of Caosi all the way, and he has been singing all the way before
In Kansai and Guangxi, it is said that it is the same; In the capital, the Son of Heaven had to give him a face, and for him, the two imperial historians were expelled from the capital, and the news even spread to Luoyang one step earlier than Han Gang; Speaking of which, it is not a secret that Wen Yanbo, Wu Chong and even his father-in-law Wang Anshi, the former prime minister and the current prime minister, have been confronted by him many times.
I have hardly suffered any setbacks, and I have been extremely tough with my own talents, how can I endure such a shameful humiliation? Li Nangong looked at Han Gang's smile on the corner of his mouth from the side and back, and always felt that it was full of killing intent, and even his words seemed to have a deep meaning aimed at Wen Yanbo.
But Han Gang really felt that this little thing had nothing to do with it at all, although he was a well-known Confucian minister today, and a descendant of the great Confucian Zhang Zai, although he couldn't say everything about etiquette, he could be regarded as proficient, but if he wanted to say that he paid more attention to it, it wouldn't be enough.
In any case, it is impossible for him to take red tape too seriously like the scholars of this era, and it is not a big deal not to come to greet him, it is just a matter of attitude, and he will not hurt his self-esteem because of such things.
Moreover, Luoyang is the tiger's den in Longtan, and most of the old ministers are looking forward to Wen Yanbo, and it is impossible to force them. Han Gang will not jump up to compete with Wen Yanbo, since he is aiming for the prime minister, he must show the bearing of the prime minister.
So he smiled and smiled along the way, and he also admired the scenery by the Luoshui River, which he hadn't seen for a few years along the way, and he didn't see the slightest bit of anger at all.
The location of the office of the transfer department was not far from the east gate, and Han Gang and his party arrived at their destination soon after entering the city. The huge yamen, in front of which is the government's office, behind is the new residence of the Han family, and the banquet for Han Gang has also been set up in the lobby.
The reception banquet to welcome the transfer envoy was originally supposed to be the Henan prefect who stayed behind in Xijing, and a banquet was held for Han Gang in the Henan Mansion. Li Nangong also saw that there was still no movement at all in Henan Mansion yesterday, so he hurriedly sent someone to the restaurant near Zuo to order food. In a hurry, I can't order a drink that takes a lot of time to cook, and it is very ordinary, and it is really a little shabby to entertain the transporter.
It was not a low-level reception banquet that should be used to receive the transfer envoy at all, which made the atmosphere at the banquet a little gloomy, and even the performance of the music class was second-rate. However, Sheng Zai Han Gang smiled cheerfully, and quickly adjusted the atmosphere, how many people put their minds at ease, the new young envoy, in terms of the amount of equipment, it doesn't seem to be too bad, but I don't know if Lu Dao is pretending.
After the banquet, the congregation officials took their own farewell and left, and Li Nangong also said a few words to Han Gang and left together. A petty official in the government office commanded the officials to clean the hall, and Han Gang and Fang Xing returned to the back house together - among Han Gang's staff members, only Fang Xing, who was recruited by Han Gang as the transfer director to take care of official affairs, was eligible to participate in the banquet.
Just when the banquet was in full swing in the lobby in front, under Wang Yi's assignment, the family was settled. Along with a group of staff and Qingke, Wang Yi also arranged the room and the candidates to serve.
Wang Yizhi's family's wrist is worthy of everyone's beautiful background, how to manage a big family, they have all been learned to do since childhood, and they have also gained practical experience in the past two years, plus a few concubines also helped, and the family affairs did not need to be ordered by Han Gang to arrange them one by one.
In addition, Han Gang has always paid attention to maintaining Wang Yi's status, and only the status of the eldest woman is stable, so as to ensure family harmony. It's not that Han Gang has to favor one over the other, he usually comes in shifts at night, even if the ordinary three of them work together, they also have to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, who is the leader. Han Gang is outside, and Wang Yi is inside.
When Han Gang came back, the hangover soup was personally served to him by Yan Suxin, Zhou Nan took a few children to rest, the children couldn't eat and were tired, and they were overly excited on the road.
Wang Yi and Han Yunniang were talking, and when they saw Han Gang enter the door, they both stood up.
Han Yunniang was indifferent to the officials in Henan Mansion today, and she was indignant for Han Gang, and began to complain in front of Han Gang, "This gentleman doesn't know anything, it's okay if he doesn't come, why don't you let others come?" Looking at Han Gang again, he seemed to be talking about the indifference of others, and asked a little dissatisfied, "Third brother, why aren't you angry at all?" β
"Of course I'm angry too," the smile on Han Gang's face didn't change at all, "But I'm afraid Xianggong Wen is trying to see me angry, so there's no need to let him get his wish, right?" Do you still remember the story of the north wind and the sun that my father told my eldest brother and second brother a few days ago? Blindly forcing it may not achieve the goal. β
Han Yunniang was angry for Han Gang, but Han Gang himself didn't take it seriously, which means that this matter has nothing to do with it at all. Her pursed mouth quickly relaxed.
Han Gang took Yan Suxin's decanting soup to drink, when he first arrived, in the small kitchen in the inner courtyard, there were very few ingredients that could satisfy Yan Suxin, and it was no better than sending someone to buy it temporarily, and it was not better than in Tokyo to buy it.
"In two days." Yan Suxin saw that Han Gang seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the medicinal soup she had just made, and she was also a little unhappy because her skills were dragged down and did not get the evaluation she deserved, "When the ingredients in the kitchen are complete, the officials will taste it again." β
"It's fine." Han Gang smiled and said, "Luoyang has the flavor of Luoyang, it doesn't have to be the same as Kaifeng." β
Wang Yi glanced at Han Gang and felt that his words seemed to have a bit of a gun and a stick: "Official, did you really not pay attention to today's matter?" β
Han Gang's smile retracted, and Zhengse asked, "Did you say that what Lu Guogong did today was right or wrong?" β
"Of course it's wrong!" Wang Yi was actually very angry, "I haven't heard of anyone doing this!" β
"If the husband starts a lawsuit with Lu Guogong for this, or even waits for an opportunity to retaliate, it is right or wrong."
Wang Yi's answer was not as crisp as before, and he hesitated for a long time, "It doesn't seem to be very good." β
"The lady said it was exactly." Han Gang laughed and said, "He was wrong, but he couldn't be wrong as a husband." Since Lu Guogong relied on the old and sold the old, I, a late student, let him sell it well. Anyway, after doing this, the most embarrassing person is definitely not the husband. β
Face is given by people, face is lost by oneself, as long as he is more tolerant and generous, the more he will reflect Wen Yanbo's narrow-mindedness - after all, he is old, and his temper will become stubborn and weird, if it was when Wen Yanbo was young, Han Gang felt that he would not do such a stupid thing.
Han Gang patted Han Yunniang's back comfortingly, and said to Wang Yi: "That's all for this matter." I went to send someone to take the name of the husband, write the first goodbye of the student Han Gangton, and send it to Mr. Bochun's house. If you are free for your husband tomorrow, you should go and see it...... There is also Lu and Uncle [Lu Dalin], since the death of Mr., he went to Songyang Academy, and I don't know if he wants to switch to Chengmen, just by the way. β
Wang Yi asked, "Aren't the officials also half of the Chengmen disciples?" β
"The husband wants to see how he writes his husband's line." Han Gang explained that the line is a text that describes the lineage, life, date of birth and death, place of origin, and deeds of the deceased, and is mostly written by protΓ©gΓ©s or relatives and friends, which is the basis for future epitaphs and even personal biographies of the famous national history. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
There has been no movement on Han Gang's side, but Wen Yanbo's actions have spread all over Luoyang City.
There are those who disagree, those who shake their heads and sigh, and those who gloat and want to see the excitement are even more. How Han Gang, the young and vigorous capital transfer envoy, will react, everyone wants to see what happens.
Fu Shaoting reported this matter to his father that night, and asked puzzledly, "Does Lu Gong have any plans, why is he acting so upside down?" β
"Isn't that the kind of person he is? It's just that I'm getting older, and I'm getting more and more ruthless. Fu Bi knocked on the jade Ruyi in his hand, disdainful of Wen Yanbo's actions,
In fact, Fu Bi had a good relationship with Wen Yanbo in the past, when Renzong, Fu Bi presided over the opening of the Liuluo Canal, and the political enemy Jia Changchao secretly instigated the two officials of Si Tianjian to say that the opening of the Liuluo Canal was the main reason for the lack of safety of Emperor Renzong's dragon body, and he wanted to frame Fu Bi with this, and this matter was single-handedly suppressed by Wen Yanbo. However, Wen Yanbo's character, Fu Bi understands it more clearly, loves the power of the stack, and acts rigidly, which is all there.
"He's seventy-five, and he hasn't invited himself, what kind of character do you think he has? β¦β¦ It's Han Gang, but for his father, he wants to see how he will prepare to deal with it. β
"No one can bear it, right?" Fu Shaoting thought for a while, "I heard that Han Gang didn't have a seizure on the spot, and at the banquet later, the people who came out also said that he was smiling freely. But if his son wants to come, he will inevitably hold a grudge. Recently, Han Gang was proud, and the Son of Heaven drove Yushi out of the court for him. Lu Gong is so 'courteous', presumably he either wrote to the court, or he couldn't get along with Lu Gong by taking advantage of his power, and the affairs of Henan Mansion were not impossible to find faults. β
Fu Bi smiled coldly: "If Han Gang really does this, there will be no need to worry about it in the future." β
Fu Shaoting sighed in surprise: "Isn't Wang Jiefu like this?" At the beginning, he did not resign and threaten the Son of Heaven by saying that he was sick, and how many people were expelled from the capital by him! β
Fu Bi shook his head, "That's for the public, this is for the private." If Han Gang did this, where could he compare with his father-in-law. Although the political views are diametrically opposed, Fu Bi will not deny Wang Anshi's character.
His voice paused, "But if Han Gang is generous, you can be closer and closer in the future." β
