The Zaisukes are gone.

Empress Xiang sat in the empty Chongzheng Palace, thought about it for a while, and instructed Song Yongchen, "Go and invite Han Xuanhui to the palace." ”

Han Gang arrived soon, he was originally in Xuanhui Courtyard, not far from the place where the inner servants lived.

"Xuanhui is here."

Waiting for Han Gang to salute and sit down, he began to ask the queen, "Xuanhui is just in the palace, and he once said to Cai Jing, he doesn't enter the capital, and Xuanhui doesn't enter the two mansions?" ”

"Exactly." Han Gang saluted to the queen, "Since Cai Jing has declared that he is loyal to the country, Han Gang will gamble with him and let his true face be revealed."

"Such a bet is to corrupt the name of the court. Now that Cai Jing has revealed his true colors, there is no need to execute that gambling contract, right? ”

Empress Xiang saw Han Gang shaking his head.

"Words are not true. I don't know. Han Gang said that his attitude was sincere, but his actions were the most intense. And even now, there is no intention of repentance.

"But it's not that you have to stick to any kind of bet," Xiang said to the queen urgently, she didn't understand why Han Gang wanted to insist on this bet, "It's obviously just a momentary anger." ”

Han Gang didn't want Empress Xiang to be defeated as soon as he came out, so after thinking about it, he said, "...... I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard the story of Brother Tongye? ”

Xiang Empress was stunned, Han Gang is going to use old things to admonish? Brother Tongye, she seems to have heard of it, but she can't remember it clearly.

"Please also ask Xuanhui to explain Yu Wu in detail."

"Don't dare, you should explain it to Your Highness." Han Gang saluted and began to say, "King Wu of Zhou died early, King Cheng was young, and he was assisted by Duke Zhou. One day, King Cheng played a game with his younger brother Shu Yu, cut the leaves of the paulownia and gave it to Shu Yu in the form of a jade gui, and said: 'This is a seal of Ruo', and use this jade gui to seal you - Zhou Shi divided the princes, that is, with Yu Gui as a voucher - after hearing about this, the historian Shi Yi wrote a letter requesting that Shu Yu be selected as a prince. King Cheng said, 'I'm playing with it', it's just a game. But Shi Yi still insisted that King Cheng fulfill his promise, and said, 'The Son of Heaven has no jokes. Words are the history books, the rites are completed, and the music is sung'. This is Shi Yi's idea, you have no jokes, even if it is a child's joke, it can't be taken seriously. ”

Song Yongchen felt strange in the back. This analogy is nondescript. It is the king who fulfills the promise, and Han Gang is not the king, is it a self-comparison to Shi Yi? And there is another version of this story, which just replaces Shi Yi with Zhou Gong.

"Does Xuanhui want the official family to learn to become a king?" Empress Xiang's intentions for Han Gang have already been impressed enough in a vague understanding. Now only Han Gang needs to confirm it.

"The minister is not Shi Yi. But the emperor did not give up, and he had to be an official of the East Palace, and now he has to give a lecture to the Son of Heaven at a banquet. The so-called teacher teaches by word and deed. What Han Gang said before, all in front of His Majesty, the words did not stop, he had to repent, if the future minister wanted to teach the Son of Heaven what it was, how to speak. If Shi Yi was a repeat person, dare to ask if he could be taught to become a king? ”

"Xuanhui, why are you ......," Xiang Empress held back the words in her heart and didn't say it.

Han Gang's temper is very stubborn.

This is famous in the court. No worse than his father-in-law.

Wang Anshi was a reluctant minister, but in the face of the persuasion of the old friendly people, he did not let go at all.

In Empress Xiang's opinion, the reason why Han Gang made a bet with Cai Jing today was because of his stubborn temper. Otherwise, how can a palace servant be compared to Han Gang's future?

In the face of the stubborn courtiers, he told the queen that he must not come hard at this time, and try to take a detour.

"Actually, Cai Jing has a sentence in the palace today, which is actually said in the heart of the minister." Han Gang didn't seem to know what Lu Dao Xiang was thinking about, and said to the queen.

"Which word?" Empress Xiang only felt that Han Gang's thoughts were unpredictable at all, and they were always changing.

"How foolish the world is."

"What's wrong with this?"

Cai Jing is pointing out that Han Gang has a reputation comparable to that of gods and Buddhas in the world because of the pox method. In these four simple words, Empress Xiang couldn't see any reason that could make Han Gang feel that he had spoken to his heart.

"The reason why the world is so stupid is that many of them do not read. If you read sensibly, you wouldn't have built any Medicine King Temple. ”

"But people don't study, they don't have that time, they don't have that place."

"These are just excuses, the important thing is whether to educate the people or not."

“…… Educate the people? Can you come in time? ”

"It is not good to educate a county, and the responsibility lies with the county. It is not good to educate a state, and the responsibility lies with the state. And it is not good to educate the world, this is the Son of Heaven who is rich in the world, and the responsibility is, of course, Han and Cai. ”

"Do you want me to punish Han Jiang and Cai Qu?"

"It's just a punishment, and it's not worth saying it solemnly." Han Gang stood up and rushed to the queen and bowed deeply, "Your Highness is requested to set up a primary school in the world, teaching without class, and teaching students to reason, literacy, arithmetic, nature and other things. No more fooling! ”

Han Gang's tone was intense, but Song Yongchen was not excited. Educating the world, what a difficult and foolish thing it is. Even if you do it wholeheartedly, you can't do it in this life.

Han Gang intends to popularize education, but this does not mean that it must be completed in this life, and it will be in vain if he can have a few percent of the results in the end.

"This ......" Empress Xiang didn't expect Han Gang to have such a proposal, no matter what Han Gang planned to do, it would definitely cost money, and the more people covered, the more money and food would need to be spent, "I don't know where Xuanhui plans to implement it now?" ”

"Beijing is rich and can be tried in the capital." Han Gang said.

"I'm afraid it's hard to give up good money." Song Yongchen shook his head, he knew too well those wealthy families and rich people. It is harder to take money from them than to ascend to the sky. Even if you get it once, it's hard to have a second time.

"There's a way to fix it." Hangang Road. There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved, this is his view all along.

"In the matter of the elementary school, the bachelor should go to the notebook first and then discuss it. There is also the matter of this dynasty, I don't know what the bachelor thinks of Wu Yan? ”

Empress Xiang didn't want to discuss the issue that Han Gang brought back for a while, so she had to pick up Wu Yan and ask.

Is this compensation? Han Gang thought.

Wu Yan is now the first governor of the state, and it is more than enough to enter the imperial history platform. To supervise the imperial history, as long as one is a pro-people official, it is enough to have a second magistrate, and as for the lower-level supervision of the imperial history, even as long as it is a senior Beijing official, it is enough - but such a loose entry standard is often criticized.

But Wu Yan can be said to be a follower. The Department of Health and Welfare, as well as several hospitals in the capital, need such an administrative officer who is familiar with all aspects of the process to preside over internal affairs. The Department of Health and Welfare has changed the judges, and it can still operate stably, but with Wu Yan, it will suddenly become stumbling.

However, Wu Yan is his benefactor, and Han Gang will never forget this.

This kindness is even deeper than Wang Shao in Han Gang's heart.

Wang Shao used him, which gave him a place to display his talents. And Wu Yan helped him, but he saved his life.

Needless to say, which is more important.

Han Gang introduced Wu Yan to Empress Xiang: "Wu Yan has always been diligent as an official, whether in Shaanxi or in the Department of Health and Welfare, he is extremely attentive in his work. Chen remembered that in the previous evaluations in recent years, Wu Yan was at least at the upper middle level, and there were still upper and lower levels. The reduction of the number of grinding surveys is also in the forefront of the court. ”

Song Yongchen frowned unconsciously.

Due to the direct face of the epidemic, the most important thing is to preside over the post-disaster epidemic prevention in various places, and the most famous is the well-known Red Protection Bureau, which specializes in planting pox for children all over the world. In this busy and irreplaceable department, there are many opportunities to make a difference, and there are certainly many opportunities to reduce the grinding.

successfully planted pox for the crown prince, and was given a special official level, giving money and materials to a thousand times; The children of the three kings successfully planted pox, and they asked for credit for the officials of the Department of Health and Welfare, and the edict was reduced by one year; The children of the people in the capital have completed the pox planting, minus two years of grinding. In this way, the promotion speed of Wu Yan and the officials of the Ministry of Health and Welfare is terrifyingly fast.

It is really true to say that Wu Yan has reduced the number of grinding surveys in the forefront of the court. It can be used as a reason to praise Wu Yan, which is a bit excessive.

But Han Gang wants to say good things for his benefactor, and the inner servants in the palace will be uninterestingly exposed.

Han Gang was very grateful to Wu Yan, and he didn't intend to block Wu Yan's opportunity to advance because of his selfishness.

Previously, Wu Yanzai, due to the accumulation of a lot of meritorious service, continuously reduced the number of years of grinding. Although he is not as dazzling as Cai Jing, but when Cai Jing was promoted, he was also promoted without delay. And because of his qualifications, he has more than ten years of bureaucratic career, and his official rank is higher than Cai Jing's, and he has long been from the Tuntian Lang of the sixth grade.

That is, Wu Yan did not perform well in the Yushi Tai, but as long as he entered Wutai, it was a qualification, and he would be able to use his power to be promoted in the future. It is not a fantasy to be granted a service system and enter the ranks of important ministers.

"Since Wu Yan is available, then please ask Xuanhui to endure the pain and cut his love." Xiang said to the queen, "There is a vacancy in the palace now, and it is just right for him." ”

"This ...... The minister did not dare to say much about this matter. Han Gang bowed his head and said.

Cai Jing lost the imperial history in the palace and returned to the Department of Health and Welfare as a judge, while Wu Yan resigned as a judge of the Department of Health and Welfare and entered the Imperial History Platform to serve as a judge in the palace.

It's a wonderful exchange.

Of course, Han Gang would not object to this arrangement to the empress, but it was also inconvenient to express his approval.

The palace attendant Yushi is the head of the palace, and Wu Yan, who has never had experience as a Taiwan counselor, wants to grant resignation, but it is not suitable. But again, even if Wu Yan fails, it is also a success on the official road, which is a fast track to the sequence of important ministers.

Xiang understood Han Gang's concerns, and at the same time, she was even more resentful of Cai Jing.

Obviously, Han Gang has always adhered to his duty, and he will only stand up and turn the tide at a critical moment, but he will be accused of threatening Emperor Song Guozuo by the villain, is there anything more wrongful than this?

was attacked by Cai Jing, Han Gang didn't feel wronged. His thoughts, Cai Jing only said half of it. It only said the threat, not the target. In fact, half of it is waiting for everyone in the world.

As for Cai Jing, he is a dangerous person, just in case, if he has the opportunity to step on it, why bother to raise his leg?

Han Gang was never stingy.
