Regarding Cheng Fang's deeds, Han Gang knew that he had been in the capital for a year and understood it more clearly.

So he wondered very much, since Cheng Fang was in charge of tens of thousands of people and the Xiang army in Hebei, and spent several years building embankments and silting fields along the Zhanghe River and the Yellow River, he couldn't suppress anything.

Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. The actions of the soldiers just now were clearly testing Cheng Fang. And Cheng Fang didn't check for a while, and his momentum weakened, so he became unscrupulous. If you rely on your identity and status, you can't deter you from taking office, and you are bullied by others, too.

Cheng Fang was helped by Han Gang, suppressed his soldiers, and in a good mood, he took out money to apologize to the injured people, and then asked Yi Cheng to find a way to vacate a room.

After doing these chores, Cheng Fang officially talked to Han Gang and Chong Jianzhong.

After the three of them sat down, Cheng Fang provoked the conversation and asked Han Gang: "Dr. Han is going to the capital to take the exam this time, right?" ”

Han Gang went to Beijing to take the exam, and there were many people in Beijing who knew the way. After all, after the victory in Hezhou, Wang Shao took Mu Zheng and other prisoners to Beijing, but Han Gang, who played a key role in it, was not present, and basically asked more, after Han Gang became a court official, he had to be admitted to the Jinshi, and it quickly spread.

It's just that Cheng Fang didn't know how Han Gang could go all the way with Chong Ge's nephew. While asking, he subconsciously glanced at Chong Jianzhong.

"Exactly." Han Gang nodded, "It just so happens that Uncle Yi and Han Gang belong to the same family, and they also want to go to Beijing to catch the exam, so they will come out together." ”

"I see. Unexpectedly, the kind of yamen is also Mr. Hengqu's disciple, this time they went to Beijing to catch the exam, and they should be able to share the hairpin Jinhua. ”

"It's just a matter of knowing the law."

After high school, the only one who can give the golden flower is Jinshi. Chong Jianzhong used seven words to correct Cheng Fang's erroneous cognition. Other than that, he had nothing else to say to Cheng Fang

Han Gang is no stranger to Jianzhong's attitude. Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian, the big minks who called for wind and rain in the palace, went to the locality, and among the local officials, except for some shameless goods who intended to drill camps, they were not very close to them.

The interaction between the scholars and the ministers will definitely be criticized by the scholars. The ministers are so close to the palace that even the Son of Heaven will not be happy to see them - the house slaves are close to outsiders, and no master can be happy, and for the master, there will be danger to him.

Wen Yanbo was deposed for the first time that year, because he was too close to the palace, not only befriended the eunuchs, but also sent many treasures to the concubines in the palace, which finally provoked the displeasure of Emperor Renzong - when it comes to character, Wen Kuanfu is actually completely unqualified to laugh at others.

Although Han Gang did not discriminate against the eunuchs, he was not willing to get too close to the chamberlain. Wang Zhongzheng has no choice, he has seen a lot, and he always has to talk about some favors among acquaintances. With a straight face, staring at the eunuch as a thief, that is the work of Bao Zheng and Tang Jie's first-class famous imperial history. Maintain normal contacts in order to make the work go smoothly.

As for Cheng Fang, who met in Pingshui, he didn't have to deliberately get close, do his best, and say goodbye after having a meal together.

It's just that Han Gang is good at dealing with people, and invites Cheng Fang to eat together according to etiquette, and after a glass of wine, he says a few words, but the guests and hosts are happy, and they easily get closer to Cheng Fang.

Touching the wine glass, Han Gang asked Cheng Fang: "I don't know if Du Cheng is coming from the west, but what is the urgency?" ”

Han Gang's question did not elaborate a little, and the question was very direct. Cheng Fang didn't feel the need to hide it, and when he arrived in Huazhou, his task naturally had to be made public. And the arrogant soldiers in front of them have already spoken out, so there is no need to hide it, "Cheng Fang was ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to Guanxi to visit the disaster in Hezhou. ”

And so it was. Han Gang said: "In this post house, there are many homeless people from Hezhou. If Ducheng can let them return home safely, it can be described as a great good.

"Cheng Fang came to the west for this matter." Du Shuicheng, who came from the palace, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't mean that the emperor is not strict on the road, and he almost broke the big thing, but it made the two of them laugh." ”

"What about the forbidden army in Beijing......" Chong Jianzhong shook his head with disdain, and he finally interjected, "Uncle Jia has not been angry with them in the past two years. ”

Cheng Fang sighed with Chong Jianzhong.

Han Gang can basically know why Lu Dao is angry with the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, and he can also understand why Cheng Fang and Chong Jianzhong are sighing for Lu.

The Jingying forbidden army was inherited from the Later Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu was commanded by the order of Zhou Shizong, and after the death of Zhou Shizong, Zhao Kuangyin relied on the military power and the yellow robe. And the forbidden army in Hebei and the Western Army, many of the troops are from Beijing. For such a team close to Beijing, the successive emperors have looked at it very closely.

In fact, the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army can't be considered rotten, at least the archery performance is still very good. After Wang Sunchen returned from reporting to the Third Class Academy, he once said that he had met a Kaifeng man whose archery skills were only slightly inferior to him-with Wang Sunchen's character, the Beijing camp officer who took the exam at the same time as him would not be below him in archery.

However, when they really get to the battlefield, these generals and soldiers who seem to have a very high level on weekdays will show their true colors and show their original forms. Liu Ping, Ren Fu, and Ge Huaimin, the three generals who lost their teachers and humiliated the country, all proved this point.

Cheng Fang and Chongjian were depressed, and a pot of wine was drunk by them in a blink of an eye.

Han Gang asked Yi Cheng to send another pot of wine, but when he turned his head, it was a squad guard who came up with a wine jug. He accompanied the smiling face: "Du Cheng, Doctor, and Yanei, please drink, and the villain pours wine for the three of them." ”

Han Gang raised his head and glared at the class, so frightened that he hurriedly put down the wine jug.

"You're straight, aren't you!? The clothes are low and small, where is the face of the Son of Heaven?! Han Gang asked sharply, the Sichuan character lines at the center of his eyebrows showed how big the anger in his heart was, "The Son of Heaven guards pour tea and wine for people?!" Do what you have to do! ”

As soon as Han Gang flicked his robe, the class straightened out and walked away in a sneer, flashing to a corner of the hall with another companion, not daring to touch Han Gang's moldy head. Even the soldiers of the Divine Guard were frightened, and their figures that had shrunk in the corners from afar.

Cheng Fang saw this scene on the side, and secretly praised Han Gang's caution - as Han Gang said, how can the Son of Heaven guard serve tea and water to his ministers? The prime minister cannot act so recklessly. Han Gang is young, but he is old and steady. Whether that class really wanted to come over to curry favor or had other plans, Han Gang didn't give him the slightest chance.

In addition, he sighed at Han Gang's majesty. After many lives and deaths, the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, the civilian and military generals who have been promoted in Beijing are really far inferior. Mo said that Han Gang, who had accumulated tens of thousands of beheadings in his hands, glared, and the Banzhi guards were all about to flash aside. It was just a few soldiers of the Divine Guard Army who were pressed in the middle of the building, but it was not just by virtue of his uncle's name, but after many battles, he had already taken the lead.

The wind and snow outside became heavier and heavier, and the doors rattled, but the brazier in the hall was even stronger, and the cold wind could not blow away the warmth of the audience.

The planter was young and had few things to worry about, so he was summoned by his brother to pour wine.

Han Gang then poured the good wine in the planter, and drank it all with the seed Jianzhong and Cheng Fang.

He dared to reprimand Ban Zhi like this, and he also had his own measure. He took the right position, not to suppress people indiscriminately, and Han Gang also knew that he could shock these two class straights. Civilian officials, especially those who have led the army, are basically afraid of the sergeants and soldiers of the army.

The emperor and the Song Dynasty were heavy on the text, and the civil ministers had always been less constrained, if any military minister dared to learn the actions of the civil officials, the four-character evaluation of 'unscrupulous' could be posted on the spot. And once a civilian official has led the army, he has seen a lot of murder and arson, and his heart is ruthless, and no matter how fierce the general is, he will be stunned.

Wen Yanbo was able to send dozens of people away in one breath because the soldiers who kept vigil demolished his gazebo to keep warm. In order to suppress Di Qing, Han Qi made a small excuse and killed Di Qing's love general.

The Guangrui army rebelled, and Wang Guangyuan, who passed through the Huanqing Road, did nothing, and was driven out of the city by Wu Kui - he was a waste. But when Guangrui's army moved south, several nearby teams that seemed to be unstable were swept into the canyon by Wang Guangyuan and killed more than 2,000 in one go.

And Wang Shao never blinked when he cut down those soldiers who killed good people and made meritorious deeds in Xihe. Han Gang still remembered a distant relative of Gao Zunyu, known as Gao Scholar. was put into the scout ranger by Gao Zunyu to earn credit, and somehow killed a team of comrades, stripped naked and thrown in the grass. Then a foolish ghost went out of the battle and didn't get it, and when he came back, he happened to see a corpse on the side of the road, and he was overjoyed, and he cut off the head and came back to report the merit.

However, the authenticity of the head has always been tested, and between the Tibetan and Han people, there is a big difference in hairstyle and appearance alone, and there are many subtle places that can make people confirm the authenticity. In this test, the authenticity was checked, and even in the re-examination presided over by Han Gang, the identity was ascertained. The murderers who happened to kill Gao Xue came back to report that Gao Xue had stumbled and fell off the cliff, so the matter was exposed.

The foolish ghost who took the gong was eighty rods, and the six murderers were all ordered by Wang Shao to be broken in front of the walled gate. The six heads hanging at the end of the gate are a pile of minced meat.

Such a ruthless hand, military generals can rarely do it, only civilian officials can do it.

Throwing off a few disobedient soldiers, the three of them drank and chatted, and everyone was happy.

Han Gang didn't interject on Cheng Fang's task, although there was a lot of fog behind him, it was none of his business. As long as you know about this matter and be careful not to get involved, it is enough. And Cheng Fang didn't have a deeper intention of making friends with Han Gang and others.

When Pingshui meets and becomes a personal relationship, they may be useful to each other in the future, but now, they are sleeping separately. On the second day, Cheng Fang braved the snow to travel west, and Han Gang also went east.
