[This is the first update today.] If the network at home is not good, the two more at night may not be there. However, as I said in the previous chapter, the less will be compensated back, so please rest assured. 】

"Yukun, why don't you have any energy today?" Sitting in the elegant seat on the third floor of Wanqing Building, Wang Hou was very enthusiastic, and he greeted Han Gang: "Come, try this sheep tongue stick, the signature dish of Wanqing Building, if you are a little late, you can only wait for the next day." ”

Wanqinglou's signature dish did taste good, but this supper was not what Han Gang expected. Wang Hou was busy with business, didn't go home to rest, and dragged himself to drink, I don't know whether to say that he was energetic or for other reasons.

Most of the time I don't want to be stared at by him all the time. Han Gang's idea is not a slander, but it stems from his understanding of Wang Hou's character, no son likes to mess around in front of Lao Tzu, especially a father like Wang Shao, who puts a lot of pressure on his son.

Wang Hou was rarely able to get out of Wang Shao's pressure for a few hours, and the whole person was in high spirits, and while persuading Han Gang's wine, he said: "Yukun, do you remember Li Fugui who was transferred back to Beijing?" ”

Of course Han Gang remembers. Gyeongju Governor and Huanqing Road Jinglu slightly appeased Li Fugui and other three generals, who were finally exposed some time ago, and I don't know who made it, so that the entire Yushitai was on the bullet seal, and he was transferred back to Beijing at the end of last month. In May and June, the two coaches of Qin Feng and Huanqing changed one after another, which caused a lot of shock to the entire Kansai military.

Wang Hou suddenly mentioned him, there must be new news. Han Gang asked in surprise, "Could it be that he has already decided the case?" Not so fast, right?! ”

How efficient is the court in adjudicating cases, there are more than one or two jokes circulating in officialdom. An official of Li Fugui's level, if he wants to be tried, he must be tried by the three families of Yushitai, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and sometimes, the Son of Heaven will hand-pick the presiding judge. It would take a month to reconcile the contradictions between the judges, and it would be impossible for the entire case to come to an end if it did not drag on for half a year.

Of course, the case has not yet been decided, and it has only been a month since he was recalled to Beijing. However, Li Fugui's crime is also clearly understood. If he is not convicted, he will probably be demoted to one or two officials and go to Xiazhou in the south to be the governor for two years. If he is convicted, he will probably be placed in a distant county, and he will be given official positions such as deputy envoy of the festival degree and deputy envoy of regimental training. Wang Hou took a stuffed fish ball with chopsticks, and said vaguely while eating, "In the capacity of Li Fugui, he is probably the deputy envoy of Jiedu." ”

"It's too cheap for him!" Han Gang felt a little angry in his heart. Unjustly killing an official of the court and deceiving the Son of Heaven may not be able to convict. And even if convicted, it is only a punishment for resettlement in a distant county. Li Fugui did such a shocking thing, and the punishment was so light, that the three generals who died unjustly were all blind to death

Resettlement, management, and detention are the means of punishment of officials by the imperial court, and the degree of punishment ranges from light to severe. As long as it is not a matter of seizing the written word since birth, that is, cutting officials to serve the people, the heaviest punishment for officials is the detention of house arrest. The ordinary ones are arranged and managed, and they are not allowed to go out of the city, and the letters must be checked, and the lightest is the placement, but they cannot leave the military state where they are placed and walk around.

Moreover, these officials who have been convicted will generally be awarded the official positions dedicated to the guilty officials, such as the deputy envoy of the festival, the deputy envoy of observation, and the deputy envoy of the regimental training, although they will not be given actual work, but with official positions, they can prevent them from being bullied by villains and hurting the dignity of the court. Han Gang didn't know what to say about this, he could only say that the government of this era was really good to civil officials.

"It's cheaper for him." Wang Hou said, "So he is still in the mood to write poems and scold people." ”

"What poems did Li Fugui compose?"

Wang Hou stopped his chopsticks and picked up the wine glass again. Han Gang poured wine into his cup and listened to him: "The whole song was transmitted to Qinzhou with only two sentences, and I only heard it today-'Lao Feng Chi can't squat on the side, and the hungry Wutai is silent.'" ’”

"Hungry on the platform?"

Wutai is another name for the Yushitai, because there is a forest outside the Yushitai, and there are a lot of crows inexplicably, in addition, those supervising the Yushi are no different from the crows, a mouth, that is, someone is going to be unlucky. And just looking at the three words 'silent' at the back, you can see that Li Fugui is clearly scolding Yu Shitai for inaction.

The two lines of poetry are read together, and then I think of the scene where Li Fugui was attacked by the imperial historians, is this him complaining that the imperial history platform only shoots flies and does not fight tigers?

"But who is Lao Feng talking about?" Han Gang asked.

Wang Hou asked rhetorically: "'Squatting by the pool', who do you say?" ”

can make Li Fugui speak in such a resentful tone, and the status of the official described by 'phoenix' will not be low, and he can only be found among the deacons. Add the word 'old', and there are only three candidates left - Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, who is in his seventies, Chen Shengzhi, who is in his sixties, and Wen Yanbo, the privy envoy.

Just taking into account the three words 'squatting can't go', Chen Shengzhi, who has been promoted to the governor for a few years, must definitely be excluded. The rest of Zeng Gongliang and Wen Yanbo are both real ministers of the Three Dynasties, and they have been prime ministers since the time of Renzong. However, Wen Yanbo has had ups and downs, but Zeng Gongliang's prime minister has been from Renzong Jiayou for six years, and has gone through the Yingzong Dynasty to the present.

Using the method of elimination, Han Gang concluded, "Is it the old man Zeng?" ”

"Who else could it be but him? Li Fugui hated Zeng Xianggong for ordering him to be taken from office, and after returning to Beijing, he wrote this poem. ”

Han Gang pursed his lips, disdainful of Li Fugui's approach. This is the most common literati in officialdom, who never introspects, but only complains. I don't have much talent, but I am very clever in harming people.

Li Fugui's two lines of poetry are equivalent to lighting a firecracker and throwing it into the Yushi Tai, and those crows that were startled must be flying all over the sky. Of course, they are not biting the fallen dead dog Li Fugui back and forth, but Zeng Gongliang, who has been entrenched in the phase for too long, is the fat sheep who can show their fame and integrity.

"Zeng Xianggong is afraid that he is going out." Han Gang paused, "I don't know what the Wang Xiang Guild said." ”

When Zhao Ji enabled Wang Anshi to reform the old system, Han Qi and Fu Bi opposed it one after another, and only Zeng Gongliang escorted him. Moreover, Zeng Gongliang's son Zeng Xiaokuan is the backbone of the Fa-changing faction, although he is not as close as Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Dian, but he is also deeply respected by Wang Anshi.

Just last year, Wang Anshi's new law caused an uproar in the DPRK, and although Zeng Gongliang did not express his support, and in some cases did not hesitate to oppose a few words, but most of the time he remained silent. In his capacity as prime minister, this is already the greatest support.

Han Gang didn't know if Wang Anshi would leave Zeng Gongliang because of his gratitude. And Wang Hou shook his head, "Jia Yan said, Wang Jiefu has already achieved his wings, and he doesn't need his support." When he went, he made room for the prince. For this matter, the Son of Heaven and the prince will be happy to see it come to fruition. The smile on the corner of Wang Hou's mouth was sarcastic, "Maybe in two months, it will be the real Prime Minister Wang." ”

"Zeng Xianggong's age is also a little too old." Han Gang said very calmly.

There is no personal affection to talk about in politics, and Wang Anshi really needs a legitimate position to control the overall situation of the law change. It is said that the implementation of the Auxiliary Labor Law is imminent, this law is related to all aspects of the people's livelihood, and directly changes the implementation of the millennium forced labor system, which is not comparable to the three laws of equal loss, green seedlings and farmland and water conservancy.

is also a person in officialdom, Wang Shao's judgment of Wang Anshi should not be wrong. However, Zeng Gongliang is the editor-in-chief of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", a set of 40 volumes, the first 20 volumes are military monographs that describe in detail the aspects of armaments, formations, banners, and camps, and the last 20 volumes are a collection of historical war examples. Han Gang has always wanted to see the true face of this famous military encyclopedia, and he also has some respect for Zeng Gongliang, who has the ability to compile this book.

and Wang Hou continued to push the cup and change the lamp, and when Han Gang returned home, it was almost three shifts. Although he didn't drink much tonight, when he came back, a night breeze blew, and the wine was a little stronger, but he was still able to walk steadily, and he would not be staggered and helped.

After entering the house, Han Gang asked Li Xiaoliu to lead the horse to the stable, and after taking care of the two horses, he went to rest by himself. He himself walked straight into the backyard and saw that the lights were on in his room.

It's all this time, who's still in it? Han Gang was so drunk that he couldn't think of anything for a while. Lift the curtain and enter the house,

I saw Yan Suxin half-lying on the table doing Begonia Spring Sleep. Han Gang's footsteps stopped, and the drunken drunken spirit dissipated violently, and only then did he remember what happened during the day today.

Unexpectedly, at this time, she was still waiting in the room. Han Gang lightened his steps and walked in quietly. In addition to an oil lamp flickering with the wind through the hall, there was also a teacup on the table. Han Gang gently lifted the lid of the tea cup, and the smell of tangerine peel in the decanting soup came out.

Sitting down at the table, drinking the sweet and sour decanting soup, Han Gang looked at the sleeping face two feet away, pillowing his arms.

Serious and beautiful, tall and slender, she is a rare beauty. And today she painted a little makeup, probably because she didn't like the heavy makeup like lime plastering the wall, but she just drew her eyebrows slightly, smeared her lipstick, and didn't rub thick powder like the prostitutes in Qinzhou. But it's just such a little change that makes her even more picturesque.

I don't know if I remembered something in my dream, Yan Suxin's red and thick mouth pursed slightly, her slender eyebrows were also wrinkled, she looked very sad, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, flashing with a faint yellow light.

Han Gang looked at it with pity. The three girls who are obsessed with themselves, whether they are Han Yunniang, Yan Suxin, or Zhou Nan, are all ill-fated women. Yun Niang, who was sold into the Han family, is not bad, although Zhou Nan, who grew up in the Teaching Division, is named Oiran, but she has to force a smile on her face, and Yan Suxin is the most tormented by fate among the three girls.

Han Gang stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but Yan Suxin was awakened by his movements. She sat up jerked straight, her eyes open. A few strands of loose hair were mischievously sticking to her cheeks, and there were red marks on the side after being pressed, which showed that she had been sleeping for a long time.

There was a little dazedness in the big eyes that opened, but after a few blinks, Yan Suxin finally found Han Gang sitting in front of him, smiling. It was not trivial to be startled, and the girl let out a short exclamation, leaning back, and was about to retreat backwards. But I didn't want her to sit with her legs pinned under the table, and the table and people were shaky with this movement.

Han Gang smiled slightly, stretched out his hands unhurriedly, held the table with one hand, and hugged her slender waist honestly and unceremoniously with the other.
