Chapter 1: The Temples and Towns Seek Peace (11)
[Write slowly, the next two more, tomorrow.] 】
Han Gang paused for a moment, then stepped forward again. Seemingly calm, he casually asked, "Oh, when was it?" ”
Han Gang's tone was a little rude, and Wang Jue didn't think it was angry. Han Gang's relationship with Wang Sunsin is no secret, and his current reaction proves some speculation.
'I don't know about it beforehand. Wang Qi looked sideways at the subtle changes on Han Gang's face, "Most likely there is no connection with Guo Kui." ’
Although Wang Jue is famous for the three decrees, he doesn't have much ability to observe words and colors, just saying that he has taken the holy decree, received the holy decree, and has received the holy decree, can he go to the position of prime minister? Joke!
That's just the envy of the world. Wang Jue never thought that he was wrong, the importance of the Son of Heaven was everything.
Because his poems use more words of gold and jade, he was called the most precious pill by his brother, and there was much ridicule in Shilin. But when he entered the palace in the Mid-Autumn Festival to write poems, he could get a pen full of two sleeves from the harem concubines, and he was Wang Jue alone. 'Chilling cicadas, late to the long pavilion', 'endure the floating name, replace it with a shallow low singing', so down-and-out and shabby, can be worthy of the magnificence in the palace.
What about being called the Three Wills? When it comes to the road, who dares not to give way to him? The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and who can afford to be a gift to himself. As long as his family is still in the position of prime minister, all criticisms are slanderous words from jealousy.
"That was three years ago when we captured Yokoyama." After confirming Han Gang's ignorance, Wang Jue smiled indifferently, "It is said that Wang Sunchen led the army to the north at that time, wiped out the two tribes along the way, and used the old and weak heads as military merits. ”
"What happened three years ago has only been reported so far?"
Wang Qi nodded and said, "This morning's urgent report to Beijing!" ”
“…… It's a coincidence. Han Gang's voice deepened.
This is to take a fancy to Wang Sunsin's position. The generals who are qualified to compete for the pioneer officer of Yanyan Road must look up and see Wang Sunchen without looking down, and they are also called brothers and sisters every day. Now in order to grab the credit, his face is torn.
"It's a coincidence." Wang Qi nodded: "If you don't report it sooner or later, it's just this time." ”
Han Gang said it coincidentally, not only the layer that Wang Qi said, but also Guo Kui. However, because it is today's urgent report, the chance of coincidence should account for eighty percent. In addition, Zhao Ji knew that his relationship with Wang Sunchen was not mentioned at all, which made Han Gang a little annoyed.
"This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated?" Han Gang asked again.
Wang Qi said: "Because it involves killing good people and risking merit, the Son of Heaven is furious, and he really wants to go to prison for a thorough investigation." However, Guo Zhongtong came out and said that lying about military exploits involves a large number of people, and a big war is coming, so it is not appropriate to shake the morale of the army. Therefore, the most important thing is not to investigate deeply, and only to seize Wang Sunchen from office. ”
That is, Wang Sunchen's crime has already been determined without investigation. However, Han Gang had no intention of crying out for Wang Sunchen. He didn't dare to help Wang Sunchen pack the ticket. Before and after the Battle of Hengshan, Wang Sunsin wrote many complaints in his letters, saying that there was no chance of meritorious service. Judging from Wang Sunchen's letter, coupled with Han Gang's understanding of him, Wang Sunchen did it by lying about his military exploits.
"But do you want him to make meritorious deeds?" Han Gang continued to ask.
"The Son of Heaven is angry." Wang Qi turned around and smiled meaningfully at Han Gang.
He wanted to see if Han Gang would win the opportunity for Wang Sunchen to fight and atone for his sins.
Han Gang was silent, and continued to walk forward with Wang Qi's footsteps.
The oncoming guards and chamberlains, when they saw Wang Jue, bowed and saluted from afar. I didn't see Wang Qizheng raise his eyebrows in surprise, and then there was a thoughtful expression.
Guo Kui helped Wang Sunchen get a treatment that did not investigate his crimes and only won the office, but he did not help him fight for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. I thought that Han Gang should have helped-so the Son of Heaven didn't mention Wang Sunchen at all, so he didn't have to listen to Han Gang's defense-but Han Gang didn't.
Han Gang didn't see the change in Wang Jue's expression in the back. Maybe Wang Sunsin may be seen by others, but for Han Gang, as long as his life is saved, it is not a big deal. In two years, with your own face, you can beat the side drum again, and you can rise back in a blink of an eye.
"It's better to let him suffer a little." After walking in silence for a while, Han Gang spoke, "I don't know how high the sky is, the military discipline is strict, and if I make a big mistake in the future, I won't have a chance to repent." ”
"That's right, it's a good thing that Yukun can think about it." Wang Qi grew up earnestly, "Wang Sunchen became famous as a young man and was a famous general in the Western Army. Although you are now responsible for breaking the law, you must not give up on yourself, and you will be dedicated to public service, and there will be a time for you to rise again in the future. ”
"Han Gang will definitely relay the words of the prime minister to Wang Sunsin." Han Gang said sincerely, "If you can get the teachings of Xianggong, Wang Sunchen will definitely be grateful." ”
Lying about military exploits, or even killing good people, this matter is indeed not a big deal in the eyes of the two important ministers. I don't think that this incident can make Wang Sunchen collapse.
Falsely reporting military exploits is actually following the trend, basically there is no one who does not do this, and the court also encourages it in private. This is an exciting means of showing off his exploits, especially in the second half of Renzong, there are often battle reports that defend the offensive of tens of thousands of party troops, and then cut the first three, five, and ten levels. It's not a big deal.
As for the problem of killing good people and risking merit, it is of a serious nature, and Han Gang cannot say that there is no one. With Wang Sunchen's character, it is not impossible to slaughter the two tribes with his hands to take credit when attacking Hengshan. But if you want to say that Hengshan is a good citizen, the pigs in Shaanxi will laugh.
On the edge of Shaanxi, I don't know how many people have enmity with the Hengshan Fan Department, and the main infantry foot of the Western Xia is composed of the Hengshan Fan people. For hundreds of years, they have never been indispensable for the cavalry to invade the Song Realm with the party's cavalry, burning, killing and looting.
In addition to some ripe Tibetans, the remaining Hengshan Fan, who had just surrendered, was dead - the generals of the Western Army who held such an idea were actually the mainstream. In the court, although it is difficult to say it clearly, there are many people who agree with it in private.
All the way to the front of the political hall, Wang Qi stopped, and Han Gang also stopped. "Wang Sunchen was exposed at this time to lie about his military exploits in the old years, presumably not because he was loyal to the Son of Heaven, but because he fell in love with his position."
"Xianggong is right, but it is also because Wang Sunchen acted carelessly, otherwise someone would have taken a fancy to his identity, and there would be no way to use this reason to take Wang Sunchen's position."
Han Gang said so, but for him, the ins and outs of the whole thing, and even whether Guo Kui's help was a coincidence, did not matter. It doesn't matter if you calculate it for Guo Kui. An official who has not yet been promoted to the two ministries can be proud of the fact that a ruling person can carefully exchange interests and not dare to offend abruptly.
Although Han Gang was not like this, no matter whether Guo Kui learned about it before or after the fact, he did not beat Wang Sunchen to death with a stick, but also took the initiative to help in the Chongzheng Palace.
Having arrived outside the government hall, Han Gang saluted Wang Jue, and then turned around and went to the office of the Qunmu Division.
Wang Jue looked at Han Gang's back in the last place, and the doubts that he couldn't hide were finally revealed.
Uncover the old things of three years ago before the war, and the whole thing can be regarded as a frame-up. The Son of Heaven would not be ignorant of the Dao, and the purpose of this was to seize the position of Wang Sunchen's vanguard. But lying about his military exploits is a bully, and it is okay to ask for beheading, and the Son of Heaven will not be in such a good mood to understand Wang Sunchen.
The reaction of others is reasonable. But Han Gang's attitude made Wang Qi wonder very much, and he was obviously happy to see Wang Sunchen being taken from his post. To say that it was because he couldn't participate in it, and deliberately boycotted the war against Western Xia, it was not like Han Gang's personality at all, and once he captured Xingling, Wang Sunchen, who was blocked from making meritorious contributions, would definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and the last two would probably turn against each other. Han Gang wouldn't be so stupid.
So why does he have such an attitude?
Wang Qi's face changed suddenly, and he thought of a possibility. It was Han Gang who had been saying all along, and he was not optimistic about the plan to capture Xingling in one fell swoop.
Judging from Han Gang's own experience and ability in military affairs, he was mostly telling the truth.
Wang Qi's heart was shaken a little, and he immediately stabilized. Baodu is betting in, and now there is no room to change course, it is better to stick to the end.
……………………
In the evening, Han Gang returned from the yamen. There are several important things in his heart, but his identity makes it inconvenient for him to visit Guo Kui.
When it comes to such a private matter as the exchange of interests, unless it is a blood relative such as a son or brother, or a close staff member who has followed him for decades, who would dare to put his own handle in the hands of others. There is no such person around Han Gang, and the background can be said to be a little worse.
It's starting to snow again outside, and it's a good year for the snow to be a mega year, and next year will be a good year. But Han Gang's mood was still depressed.
Wang Yi saw that Han Gang had something hidden in his heart, so he didn't hesitate much, and asked directly: "Official, why did you become like this after coming back from the yamen." Did something happen when you went to the temple? ”
Han Gang said: "Today, Junguo Gong and Princess Shushou have pox, and the official family summoned Wang Yuyu and me. ”
“…… How can the Son of Heaven treat the scholar as a first-class doctor?"
"With Wang Yuyu as a companion, it's not a big deal, but I still use the means of my husband to save people, and I don't feel ashamed of being a husband."
"Is there something that Junguo Gong doesn't like?" Wang Yi only has this possibility left.
Han Gang shook his head. Today, Zhao Maid appeared in front of the foreign minister for the first time, although I don't know if he has a chance to become the next son of heaven, but his performance is still good.
"Not this thing." Han Gang didn't sell Guanzi anymore, and told everyone in the family about Wang Sunchen.
I see, Wang Yi understands. Not surprising by this, this is a common occurrence. And the reason for the defeat of her husband's mood is definitely not this one.
I heard Han Gang continue: "It turns out that there is still six or seven percent of winning this battle, and luck is better, or even eight or ninety percent of the certainty." But now it seems that it must be discounted in half. ”
Before the war began, Han Gang began to fight for power, and Han Gang became more and more optimistic about this war. However, with the current strength of the Western Army, the chance to turn the tables still exists, and even if it is defeated, it will not be too badly defeated. This made Han Gang feel a little comforted in his heart.
