[It is considered the third shift, making up for the lack of the day before yesterday]

Han Gang was woken up from his sleep in a trance, but he still closed his eyes and didn't want to move.

With that little salary, how can there be a reason to disturb people's tranquility in the middle of the night. Holding the delicate and gentle body in his arms tightly, Han Gang changed his position and continued to sleep.

But the voice outside the door was even more anxious, "Long Tu, Long Tu, Tong Worship has arrived in the main hall, and there is a message from the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Third brother," Yun Niang, who was accompanying Han Gang tonight, had already woken up, broke away and hugged her arm, and propped herself up: "What could it be!?" ”

Han Gang yawned, sobered up a little, and snorted coldly: "A rooster crows in the middle of the night will never be good!" ”

Yun Niang's heart was even more chaotic now, "Third brother, what should I do?" ”

Listening to Yun Niang's voice trembling with crying, Han Gang smiled and patted the delicate body in his arms: "Don't scare yourself, if something really affects me, it's not Tong Guan who is here." He sat up, "Come, help me change my clothes." ”

Yun Niang listened, hurriedly put on a robe and got out of bed to help Han Gang change into a public uniform, and peeked at Han Gang's expression, looking frightened.

Han Gang asked Yun Niang to serve and get dressed, and walked out of the room, at this time all the lights in the house were turned on, and Wang Yi, Zhou Nan and Su Xin also woke up and came out of the room.

As soon as he saw Han Gang, Wang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Han Gang's shirt: "Official, why did the envoy come at night?" ”

Zhou Nan and Su Xin also stepped forward together, looking panicked.

The servants and maids were also panicked, and they didn't know what was going on, so they sent someone to the house at night.

Han Gang sighed secretly, no wonder he said that a companion is like a tiger. After controlling one's own life, when a word comes at night, it makes people sleep and eat restlessly.

"It's just a small thing, don't mess around, everything is as usual." Han Gang said loudly.

He is an old god, what is the reason, Han Gang also has a bottom in his heart, most likely defeated. I just don't know how they were defeated. Whether there is a shortage of food and grass, or other reasons, I hope it is not the Khitans who get involved. However, whether your guess is right or not, the answer will soon be revealed.

After calming his family a little, Han Gang strode into the main hall.

"Dragon Figure! Dragon Figure! Tong Guan was in a hurry in the hall, and as soon as he saw Han Gang, he hurriedly said, "The Son of Heaven has a call, and he ordered Long Tu to enter the palace as soon as possible." ”

Han Gang glanced at Tong Guan, didn't ask a word, turned around, and turned back under Tong Guan's gaze, "After the worship goes back, I will give it to tomorrow, saying that Han Gang is asleep, and I will talk about it tomorrow if I have something." ”

What happened can be seen from the expression of this eunuch who was waiting for the call in the Chongzheng Palace.

Sure enough, he was defeated. Although it was as expected, Han Gang's heart was not half proud.

Maybe I can feel happier when I see the bitter faces of Wang Qi and his lackeys, but this time I lost the battle, and I don't know how many soldiers were killed or seriously injured, so I couldn't gloat. But I just want to go back to sleep and forget all my worries.

Seeing that Han Gang was really going back to sleep, Tong Guan's eyes turned from anxious to shocked, and he screamed behind Han Gang in shock: "Long Tu! It is the Son of Heaven who has a calling! ”

Han Gang turned around and asked Ning Ning steadily, "But the Son of Heaven is not hesitating?" ”

Tong Guan shook his head, although the Son of Heaven did not tell him to explain the reason, it was no problem to leak it to Han Gang in advance: "No, it's ......"

"Could it be that the Empress Dowager is sick?" Han Gang asked again, interrupting Tong Guan's answer.

"No, it's ......"

"It's the Liao people who hit the Daimyo's Mansion?!"

"No, it's ......"

"Then what other big event is worth recruiting courtiers into the palace in the middle of the night?!" Han Gang interrupted his snort, and interrupted Tong Guan's reply for the third time, "You go back and report to the Son of Heaven, since there is nothing important, it is not too late to discuss it in the Chongzheng Hall after the court meeting tomorrow." ”

"Long Tu, it was the second marshal Gao Miao who was defeated under Lingzhou City!" Tong Guan's voice calmed down, he had already understood, but he still reminded Han Gang, "Xianggong and the ruling government have sent people to summon them!" ”

"Wang Yuyu is the prime minister of the dynasty, Uncle Lu Han, Lu Jifu, and Yuan Houzhi are all important tripods of the country, how can they be so confused that they enter the palace overnight!? Think Beijing is too stable? ”

Han Gang said, motioning to the housekeeper to hand Tong Guan a much richer red envelope than usual, and sent him out. He turned around and went to the backyard and said to his nervous and panicked family, "It's okay, go back to sleep." ”

In a bad mood, he didn't want to pay attention to anything at this time.

"Official, is there really anything wrong?" Zhou Nan tugged at Han Gang's sleeve and didn't let him go. They also heard the conversation in the back, and Han Gang directly drove the envoy sent by the Son of Heaven back, which was even more worrying when he heard that the envoy came to the door in the middle of the night.

Han Gang shook Zhou Nan's little hand: "Don't worry, Lu Gongzhu and Lu Huiqing will never enter the palace, Yuan Jiang is used to looking at the style, and he may not go." With them in front of me, I have nothing to fear. ”

Zhou Nan, Su Xin and Yun Niang looked back at Wang Yi. She is the daughter of the prime minister's family, and she should know the truth of what Han Gang said.

Of course, Wang Yi had heard and witnessed a lot of such things, and nodded, "Daddy has done it many times back then, and it will be fine." She sighed, "I didn't expect to be defeated." Dad and brother worked hard all night, and the officials worked hard to make this the result. ”

"Some people don't feel sorry for their hard-earned belongings, but want to run to the casino, what can they do?" Han Gang straightened the placket of the official uniform, "Go back to sleep, whatever you do with him, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" ”

……………………

Zhao Ji didn't know how long he had been here, and he seemed to have only blinked, and it seemed like it had been a year and a half.

His mind was a mess, he didn't think about anything, and he didn't know what to think.

The candlelight flickered, one bright and one dim, making Zhao Ji only feel his eyes glaze. How do you look at the eyes of the class and the attendants in the palace, how is it wrong, are they laughing at their own failures?

"Put out the lights." He yelled irritably.

No one dared to disobey or delay in the anger of the Son of Heaven, and hurriedly blew out the thirty-six arm-thick dragon and phoenix incense candles in the hall one by one.

When darkness fell, Zhao Ji felt safer. There is no need to see the ridicule in the eyes of others, and there is no need to pretend to be calm and solemn like a wooden puppet.

Don't think about anything, maybe it's a nonsensical nightmare, as soon as the lights come back on, everything will be back to normal.

"Official ......"

"Official."

"Official!"

Shi Deyi's voice became louder and louder each time, shattering the false silence in the apse of the Chongzheng Palace.

“…… What's up?! Zhao Ji replied casually.

"Official, the prince has arrived!" Shi Deyi hurriedly said.

In the dark, Zhao Ji's mind drove to a halt, as if pulling out the rusty iron sword in the box, strained and slow, but finally remembered why Wang Qi entered the palace.

It wasn't a dream......

Zhao Ji pressed his heart hard, suppressing the sudden palpitations.

From the apse to the brightly lit front hall, Wang Qi had already arrived. After bowing, Zhao Ji gave Wang Qi a seat, and the two monarchs and ministers sat down together, looking at each other without saying a word.

Zhao Ji didn't want to speak, and Wang Qi didn't know what to say, and he didn't expect that Gao Zunyu and Miao Zhu would both fight under Lingzhou City, and they would still fail and fail.

Wang Qi was the first to arrive, but the second person never arrived.

However, the chamberlain sent to summon Lu Gongshu returned in vain.

"The official family, the slave and maid were ordered to pass on the edict to the privy envoy Lu Gong. Lu Shumi replied that he entered the palace late at night, for fear of alarming the people of the capital, and did not dare to obey the order. ”

"Oh, really?" Zhao Ji replied in a low voice, which was an expected answer.

After waiting for a while, the Yellow Gate sent to summon Lu Huiqing came back, followed by Yuan Jiang's.

"Official, Lu Shenzheng said that Zai Zhi is not a guard, and there is no reason to enter the palace at night."

"Official, Yuan Shenzheng said that Zai Zhi entered the palace overnight, I am afraid that it will lead to rumors, and it is not too late to discuss something tomorrow."

Except for Wang Gui, the rulers gave negative answers one by one. Zhao Ji couldn't help it, got up and circled around the imperial table.

Lu Huiqing didn't arrive, Lu Gongzhu didn't arrive, both of them refused to enter the palace at night, and Yuan Jiang didn't arrive, he was an old fox, and knowing that entering the palace at night would only cause chaos.

Guo Kui is in Dingzhou and Xue Xiang is in Luoyang. There are six people in charge of the two mansions, and at the moment, only Wang Qi is standing in the Chongzheng Palace, staring at Zhao Ji who is circling around the imperial case.

Wang Qi now knows what it means to be a tree and scattered, it is reasonable for Lu Gongzhu and Lu Huiqing not to come, but Yuan Jiang's failure to come means that he has given up working with himself, and he is a capable person who sees the wind and makes the rudder!

"Official, Tong Guan is back."

Zhao Ji stopped, raised his head, and the expert who was truly proficient in military affairs arrived.

"Xuan."

Tong Guan lowered his head and walked into the hall in small steps, and when the corner of his eyes swept left and right, he only saw Wang Qi alone in the hall.

The mansion of the deacons is not far from the palace, much closer than the house of the same group of herdsmen, it seems that Han Gang is not wrong, the other consuls refused to enter the forbidden palace at night, and the prince arrived alone.

The importance of the country, who can afford this word, who can't afford it, but it is clear at a glance.

Zhao Ji saw that Tong Guan was also returning alone, and finally got out of anger: "Han Gang won't come either?!" ”

"The official family, the slave maid was ordered to send a message to Han Gang, the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, Han Longtu said, there is no big matter, it is not an urgent matter, and after the court meeting tomorrow, it is not too late to discuss it in the Chongzheng Palace."

"'Nothing big, not urgent.' Didn't you tell him that Lingzhou was defeated!? An evil fire rose in Zhao Ji's heart, and he opposed the radical Han Gang from beginning to end, so he should be very proud at this time.

Tong Guan said in a low voice: "Han Gang just asked the slave maid whether it was His Majesty's hesitation, whether it was the Empress Dowager who was sick, and whether it was the Liao people who hit the Yellow River. If it's neither, it's 'nothing serious'! It's not worth going to the big house overnight. ”

"Good! Good! Good! The smile on Zhao Ji's face was more ugly than crying, "All of them don't want to enter the palace at night, they are all pure ministers who are dedicated to the country and the people!" It's all pure ministers!! ”

"Your Majesty!" Wang Jue suddenly raised his head at this time, "Gao and Miao retreated, it was just a small setback, not an overall failure!" There are also the soldiers and horses of Qin Feng and Xihe, as well as the elites of Yan Yan and Hedong, and there is a chance to turn defeat into victory! He hissed.
