Huang Shang finally put down the pen.

The mood was so chaotic that he couldn't write anymore.

Push open the window and look at the gray sky.

The clouds have become ambiguous, as if the situation is at the moment, making it difficult to understand how the next step will change, whether it will be clear weather or snowstorms.

The roar of artillery reached Huang Shang's ears.

One after the other.

Although it was far away, it did not alarm Huang Shang's family and the servants and maids in the family. But Huang Sheng is extremely sensitive to similar sounds, and the faint roar is a murmur that will be ignored in the ears of others, but here in Huang Shang, it is like a thunder that explodes in his ears, and he is alert in an instant.

The first sound of vigilance, the second sound of certainty, and then the third sound that made Huang Sheng worried.

It is not the time when the salute is fired, and the Firearms Bureau will not choose to conduct the test during the court ceremony.

Was it an accident, or was it an incident?

Huang Shang, who was very concerned about this, could only send his family out to inquire about the news after lying down for a while, and he was patient and wanted to continue to review.

But he still couldn't calm down after all.

I can't read a book, and I can't write.

Huang Sheng knew very well what kind of meaning artillery had in Han Gang's eyes. And the shooting outside of reason, the possibilities contained in it, and the results that will lead to it, make Huang Shang unable not to think deeply.

Although the exam was imminent at this time, Huang Shang still couldn't do it without distractions.

In order to be qualified to participate in the system, during this period of time, except for the extreme points that cannot be shirked, he basically did not come out of the door, and was almost isolated from the world.

Yesterday I participated in Daxiang, and today is just a court meeting, so I got sick and didn't want to delay any longer.

These days, in addition to writing articles, he is reading books and looking for information.

The study was full of excerpts and flashes of inspiration.

From the beginning of his decision to participate in the system, the weasel tail tip was made into a brush, and Huang Shang has written dozens of bald brushes. If you take it all and bury it outside the house, you can also build a small pen mound.

Until now, Huang Shang still doesn't have much confidence in passing the system.

Continuously defeated and retreated in Southern Province, Huang Shang's youthful madness is gone. After a long time under Hangang's account, what remains is only the stability that has been precipitated year by year.

The qualification of Jinshi is also obtained through clever methods. For Huang Shang, such a Jinshi status cannot give him glory and self-confidence. Now only by continuing to study hard can he maintain his faith.

Time is pressing, Huang Shang doesn't dare to waste the slightest, and the time to eat and sleep is also saved again and again.

Pacing in the room at this time, not thinking about articles, but thinking crankily, has not been in such a state for a long time.

Huang Shang paced back and forth, becoming more and more impetuous.

With a bang, the cronies and servants who had just been sent out for a short time slammed open the door of Huang Shang's study very rudely and stumbled in.

The servant was also sweating profusely in the cold days, and his expression was so flustered that Huang Shang swallowed the scolding that came to his lips.

"What's wrong?! What happened? ”

Knowing that the situation was wrong, Huang Sheng hurriedly asked.

"II...... Two kings, and ...... and the Empress Dowager rebelled! ”

The servant gasped and threw out a shocking message.

"Huh!? What the! ”

At first hearing the murderous letter, Huang Shang's heart suddenly became half cold. Forty percent of his benefactor's current position in the hearts of courtiers and the empress dowager was established by relying on the ambition of suppressing the empress dowager and the second king.

If Emperor Gao and Zhao Hao make a comeback, what good results can Han Gang have?

However, the panic was only for a moment, and Huang Shang immediately returned to normal. He figured it out, if the Empress Dowager and Zhao Hao succeeded, it would not be possible to be said to be a rebellion. It's just that with the queen mother's control of the palace, the queen mother is unwilling to be lonely, and at most it is a farce of a few actors, which spins and falls. What happened to turn the riot into a rebellion?

"And then?" Huang Shang asked.

The servant gasped heavily, "It seems that the princes of the two prefectures rescued the queen mother and the official family and forced the rebel party back." ”

It's not that simple. Huang Shang's brain turned fast. The Empress Dowager and the two kings rebelled, and among the courtiers, Han Gang must be the first to bear them, and if you want to quell the rebellion, either Han Gang will take the lead, or Han Gang will take the initiative.

"What else?" Huang Shang asked anxiously.

“…… The villain doesn't know whether it's true or not. The expression on the servant's face showed traces of struggle in his heart, "It's just that the villain heard someone saying that Cai Xianggong was also dead, and it was Han Xuanhui who was stoned to death with iron bones with his own hands." ”

Joke!

Huang Shang's first thought was to scold. But his heart turned, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Totally makes sense.

In other words, without Cai Qu's fall to the Empress Dowager and the Second King, there would have been no rebellion at all.

Since Cai can indeed fall to the Empress Dowager and the two kings, then Shi Deyi and even Song Yongchen beside the queen are not without the possibility of throwing themselves to the empress dowager.

With the help of the prime minister and the chief of the chamberlain, the empress dowager was even able to sit on the Daqing Hall without blood.

And in that situation, with Huang Shang's understanding of Han Gang, he must use the most decisive means to turn the situation around.

Smashing Cai to death with one bone sounds ridiculous, but the more you think about it, the more possible it is, and the more in line with Huang Shang's understanding of Han Gang.

"This news is too ridiculous, it's just that things were rushed, and the villain didn't have time to investigate again." The servant chattered and remedied, still regretting in his heart that he had said something superfluous.

Huang Shang didn't say a word, got up directly and went to the door.

Huang Shang's Hun family has been taken to the capital, and it is because of the family that Huang Shang will leave the Han Mansion to find another house. She heard that Huang Shang was suddenly about to go out, and hurriedly chased her out of the inner courtyard.

"Official." Huang Shang's Hun family walked in a hurry, "Where are you going now?" ”

"Go to Hanfu." Huang Shang said.

As Han Gang's doorman, he can't be a counselor by Han Gang's side at this time, and he must also go to his mansion to do his best.

“…… Then I have to change my clothes and go again. ”

Huang Shang looked down, wearing a wide robe at home, with a cotton jacket inside, which looked a little bloated, and had no image at all.

"That's fine." Huang Shang's footsteps did not stop, and he did not intend to delay.

When he arrived at the door, he turned around and instructed the Hun family: "Close the door, don't worry about anything else." ”

Riding on the horse, Huang Shang hurriedly went out and rushed to the Han Mansion.

Huang Shang's heart was full of heat, if this time he expected it was not bad, Han Gang would definitely be able to return to the ranks of the two mansions.

Halfway through, I saw a group of soldiers starting to enter the street.

carefully distinguished the clothes on these soldiers, all of them were under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion.

Shen Kuo sent someone out?

The rebellion was initially decided, but the people's hearts were uncertain, so it was reasonable to send people to block the streets and suppress the city.

Huang Sheng was thinking about it, when he heard a shout from behind him: "That's not Brother Mian Zhong?" ”

Huang Shang turned around, but it was an acquaintance: "Zhangfu sentenced." ”

Seeing this acquaintance on the road, Huang Sheng was not surprised.

As the prefect of Kaifeng, Shen Kuo must stay in the town office, and it is impossible for him to come out and directly command the sergeants.

The one who can run outside is the curtain of his yazhong.

For example, Huang Shang and Zhang Piguang, the judge of Kaifeng Mansion in front of him.

After Emperor Xizong ascended the throne that year, the first to write a letter requesting that the two princes who remained in the palace be moved out of the palace to avoid suspicion. But he was blocked by Emperor Gao and was driven out of the capital.

Since then, Zhang Piguang has been working in positions such as liquor tax and salt tax, and it was not until last year that the first emperor fell ill and the empress, who is now the empress dowager, listened to the government, and was activated again.

was demoted because he offended Empress Gao, and he was valued by the Empress Dowager for the same reason. In just over a year, Zhang Piguang has already achieved the position of judge of Kaifeng Mansion.

Kaifeng Prefecture did not set up a general judgment, and the two judges were the deputies of the Kaifeng Prefect to deal with the daily affairs in the capital.

Compared with the establishment of another yamen outside Beijing, the management power throughout Gyeonggi, except for the official affairs of the counties and towns within the city wall of the capital division, the judges of Kaifeng Prefecture who can go to the court day by day are actually more valued by the courtiers, and their status can even be compared to the Taiwan officials.

But with such a grade and such a deep favor, Zhang Piguang didn't dare to be rude to Huang Shang, regardless of the slightest rule.

"Brother Mian Zhong didn't go to court today?"

Zhang Piguang was still very surprised to see Huang Shang on the road, after all, he was also promoted to the court, but he was not sent to the court, and he should go to the court when he met the court.

"Yesterday, I occasionally felt a cold, so I was sick at home."

Zhang Biguang looked at Huang Shang's complexion, which was not the appearance of a patient at all. However, he didn't point it out, but asked, "Is this going to Han Donglai's mansion?" ”

"Exactly."

"Today's things in the palace, Brother Mian Zhong knows the way?"

Huang Shang's eyes lit up: "I only heard a little, and I was vague." The government judgment should be in the court today, I don't know if it can solve the confusion of yellow clothes? ”

"Thanks to the Duke of Donglai." Zhang Biguang patted his neck, "The leader of Biguang has to be saved." ”

Zhang Piguang also went to court today. When he saw that there was a big mess in the office of the head of the house, and learned that it was the Empress Dowager who was coming to the court, there was a buzzing sound in his head, and even his heart stopped beating.

In order to offend the Empress Dowager and was reused by the Empress Dowager, when the Empress Dowager made a comeback and overthrew the Empress Dowager, there was only one dead end left for Zhang Piguang.

Do you draw your sword and kill yourself when you go home, or do you kill yourself after you go home and make arrangements for your wife and children?

When Han Gang made a loud noise in front of His Majesty, Zhang Piguang's heart only turned to the idea of committing suicide as soon as possible, so as not to suffer in the future.

It's a little difficult to draw a sword and kill yourself, and you can't be ruthless if you jump into the river, and you can also use the popular charcoal poison. As long as it is impermeable, it is said that there is no pain.

But the changes after that made Zhang Biguang stunned.

Zhang Piguang saw with his own eyes how Han Gang beat the prime minister Cai Qu, and Li Xin and Wang Hou rushed up from in front of him, crushing the traitor party's counterattack in the palace.

From great sorrow to great joy, in just a quarter of an hour, Zhang Piguang seems to have gone through a cycle.

When the court meeting attended by the main lord was over, he came out of the palace with Shen Kuo and was ordered to calm the situation in the capital.

With this incident, Zhang Piguang was extremely grateful to Han Gang, and of course he didn't dare to lose his courtesy to Han Gang's most valued cronies.

Huang Shang will also be of great use in the future, and showing favor at this time will always leave a better impression than mixing in the crowd in the future.
