Sima Guang was seriously ill, and his son Sima Kang came to the capital for medical treatment, but he was arrested in the yamen before he arrived in the capital.

This incident is a bit funny to say, because the track is newly repaired, there are many locals and outsiders who have been arrested in the yamen because they don't understand the rules, and there is more than one official. If Sima Kang arrives in Beijing by official car, there will be no problems.

Officials can always get more preferential treatment, get on and off the bus, there will be a special person to guide, get on and off from different places, and there will be no misunderstanding today. It's a pity that Sima Kang was worried about Sima Guang's condition, so he didn't take the special official bus that only had one flight a day, but took the earliest bus.

But this incident reached the official mansion and proved Sima Kang's identity, except for leaving a joke, and that was the end of it.

Su Song asked the Empress Dowager to send a good doctor, and Han Gang also ordered someone to select two high-grade Hanlin medical officers from the Imperial Medical Bureau, and let them go to Luoyang in the afternoon of the same day.

In Han Gang's opinion, this matter is over.

Su Song had a friendship with Sima Guang, so he asked to go to the Queen Mother's side, but Han Gang and Sima Guang had nothing to do with it, and even met twice, one of which was in the Wende Palace.

When he returned home and mentioned this matter to his wife and concubine as a topic of small talk, Zhou Nan sneered, "It's also a shame that he wants the court to give him a doctor!" ”

Zhou Nan has always been unkind to the ministers of the DPRK and China, especially those who can't get along with Han Gang. Even if Sima Guang was seriously ill and dying, he didn't care at all, but first thought of the imperial court to give him a doctor.

"What's wrong with the imperial court's doctor?" Yun Niang asked puzzled.

Han Gang said: "Su Zirong is kind. Moreover, if a medical officer is an official, how can he leave his post without permission? ”

Wang Yi also said: "It is not a good thing for the court to give medical treatment, it will only spend money indiscriminately." If you really want to save people, just ask the doctor to come over. ”

Yun Niangyuan's eyes were open, and she looked like she didn't know why.

Han Gang laughed, she was the mother of three children, but she still had the innocence of being a girl, tilting her head and blinking her eyes like now, which reminded him of the days when he first woke up.

"The Queen Mother issued an edict to give medical treatment, the medical officer has to explain to the Queen Mother, the patient extends the doctor, the medical officer is to explain to the patient, Yun Niang, which situation do you say the medical officer will treat with his heart?"

When a minister is sick, the Son of Heaven is accustomed to giving medicine, and it is rare for an edict to send an imperial doctor to treat the disease. Usually, when the imperial doctor treats the courtiers, the sick family takes the initiative to invite them. If the Son of Heaven issued an edict to give medical treatment, the ministers would be fine, but the courtiers below would have to complain.

But when a courtier is seriously ill, the first thing to fear is that the Son of Heaven will send a doctor. After the imperial doctor was ordered, in order to please the Son of Heaven, he would only prescribe medicine to Guili, and it would be good to leave half of Wanguan's family wealth at that time. Second, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will send someone to treat the funeral. Once the funeral falls into the hands of the ceremonial officials sent by the imperial court, it will not help to save, and the remaining half of the property will not be left with anything.

Maybe for some people, money is not a big deal, but when it is the turn of the Son of Heaven to give medical treatment, most of them have already died, and they can't be saved at all, and they waste their family wealth in vain, but they have to thank God in a serious way afterwards. Which family will fall on it, and which family will not be full of bitterness?

After some explanation, Yun Niang finally understood.

She nodded, "I see." Aren't the rewards of the officials all good things? ”

"Of course." Han Gang laughed, "Don't say that what the Son of Heaven gives is what God gives, in addition to Shunfeng and Ganlin, there is also water and drought locust soup." ”

"Soup? Cooked water? Yan Suxin asked in confusion.

"No, that's wrong." Han Gang shook his head and skipped this slip of the tongue that was difficult to explain, "Heaven and all things are also good and bad, how can they all be good things given by the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Why don't the officials stop it?" Han Yunniang asked again.

Han Gang said: "Let's not say that I didn't think about it so much at the time, but after thinking about it, I can't let the Queen Mother withdraw the edict again." ”

"And the officials in front of me also said that Sima Shilang is far away in Luoyang, and the medical officers in Tokyo are not allowed to be transferred, and it is not convenient to leave their posts without permission." Wang Yi explained, "And the Queen Mother has no good impression of Sima Shilang, which is well known. Without the Empress Dowager's personal edict, going to Luoyang may not necessarily be treated with heart. Su Xianggong is kind-hearted and hopes that the medical officer who was transferred can do his best to treat the disease and save people. ”

"What's more, leaving the good deeds of doing favors to the king to do, this is what a loyal minister should do."

Han Gang said with a smile. But there was no sincerity in his words at all, and there was even a hint of sarcasm.

Wang Yi frowned slightly, her husband occasionally spoke disrespectfully, she was actually used to it, as long as Han Gang didn't say it outside. But Han Gang's attitude towards the whole thing made her feel inappropriate: "Does the official still have a grudge against Sima Junshi?" ”

"Sima Shilang should be resentful of his husband, but why should his husband be resentful of him?" Han Gang asked rhetorically, he had only dealt with Sima Guang once, and it was not he who suffered, he had dealt with the old party a lot, and it was never him who suffered.

"Hmm......" Han Gang touched his chin and groaned, "If you want to talk about old grievances, there is indeed one that can ......be regarded as handing in the "Zizhi Tongjian" too early, which makes it very difficult for Weifu and Su Zirong to do......"

Wang Yi glared at Han Gang fiercely, they were all prime ministers, and they were still not serious.

Han Gang smiled and brought up other topics.

In Han Gang's opinion, this matter was only for the boudoir to talk about, but the aftermath inadvertently began to flood.

The next day, Han Gang put a copy of the bullet seal on his desk.

The target of impeachment is the Railway Transportation Bureau, which mistakenly arrested Sima Kang yesterday.

Don't mention Sima Guang on the bullet seal, even the word Sima is not mentioned. It is just that the officials of the Tokyo Railway Station are abusing their power for personal gain, arresting the good in vain, allowing them to pass if they are bribed, and imprisoning them if they do not give benefits.

The word "transportation" originally means interconnected, exchanged, and even colluded. It was Han Gang's idea to give it a new meaning in transportation. The entire yamen is Han Gang's henchmen, and who you want to get along with in this bullet chapter, you don't need to think about it.

Although the grade of the Railway Transportation Bureau is not high, it is only a second-level yamen under the jurisdiction of Zhongshumen, which is equivalent to the status of the Firearms Bureau, but its importance, no one can not understand. It's a pity that Han Gang can't be splashed with water, this time there is a chance, of course people with a heart will not let it go.

But Han Gang didn't pay attention to this bullet at all, as long as the station's daily net profit can be maintained at around two hundred yuan, as long as this profit can continue to increase, as long as the big basket has not been poked, a hundred bullet chapters are useless.

It's just a report from within the railway traffic supervisor that makes Han Gang's heart angry.

"That little official was arrested? Okay......" Han Gang threw the official letter on the table, his face was not happy, and asked Zong Ze in front of him, "Rulin, what do you think?" ”

"Emperor Xiaojing was blocked outside the Xiliu camp, and he did not hear about the punishment of the soldiers guarding the door." Zong Ze immediately said: "Rules are rules, there are no rules, there is no circle." If you follow the rules, how can you punish the crime? Although Sima Shilang has other places, his character is undoubted, how can he be angry with the villain because of his illness? ”

Sima Kang sought medical treatment for his father and traveled tirelessly, this is the most filial piety, but this move was interfered with halfway, not because others were intentional, but because he was not well prepared, how could he blame the little officials in the station?

Han Gang nodded, "The flow of people at the station is gathered, and dragons and snakes are mixed. If it is not constrained by strict laws, it will sooner or later become a source of chaos. If Sima Kang had been well prepared, how could there have been yesterday's events? ”

It has only been more than a year since the construction of Tokyo Station, and hundreds of pickpockets have been caught, all of which have been sent to the Western Regions. And the passengers who evaded the fare were also caught, but they were not exiled as well, but they had to make up the tickets. If they refuse to make up the ticket in time, they will also be dragged to beat more than a dozen sticks, and then let them work to pay off their debts.

Although the laws in the station were a little harsh, Han Gang still insisted on it. Those thieves who dared to sabotage the railway, steal the railroad tracks, and sleepers, in the name of destroying the royal road, killed hundreds, and then the whole family was exiled.

-- Strict punishment and strict law are the key to ensuring smooth traffic.

The station is located in the south of the city, with a line to the west to Luoyang and a line to the south to Sizhou. There are many rivers to cross to the east, and the Yellow River to the north, but in these two directions, the railway will definitely have to be built in the future. When the railways from the southeast, the northwest, and east converge in Kyoto, and you can imagine how many people will flow at Tokyo Station. If you don't care about it now, then you don't know how chaotic it will be.

"However......" Zong Ze said in a deep voice, "This time there are people who want to fish in troubled waters, not to pick out Sima Shilang and fight grievances." ”

"Of course."

Han Gang nodded, looking forward to Zong Ze's next analysis. But Zong Ze didn't follow, as if he had reminded Han Gang that he had already returned the favor.

Han Gang smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew the character of Dao Zongze, and he didn't like the dog-eat-dog party struggle in the court, so he could say more, which showed his affection. But Zong Ze's character, if it weren't for the national crisis, he would not have been able to get ahead for the rest of his life.

But this little thing, Han Gang won't care very much.

After chatting a few words on business, he waved his hand to signal Zong Ze to go out, looking at the bullet seal and official letter on the table, Han Gang's expression became serious.

Sima Guang is an iconic figure of the old party, the so-called red banner. No matter how he feels, if he treats the important ministers of the court harshly, it will inevitably make other civil officials sigh sadly. So for some, it's an opportunity.

Now that I have seen the bullet seal, the nature of this matter has changed.

Fu Bi died three years ago, Sima Guang was dying of illness, Wen Yanbo was even more struggling, and the core of the old party was almost completely withered. The remaining people, such as Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang, are quite famous, but they can't even enter the court.

There is a reason why the old party is deeply resentful, and they want a chance to vent, and they have been thinking about it for a long time. The New Party, because of its plummeting status, is also deeply resentful. It is not surprising that the old party was able to support itself because it could not get along with the new party, and now that the new party is also unable to participate in political affairs, it is not surprising that the old party regards the new party as a target that can be joined forces.

Discipline has never existed in the hearts of politicians.
