The sudden onset of illness by the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, although Zhao Ji tried his best to show that nothing happened, and then under the diagnosis of Yang Wenwei, a professor of the Taiyi Bureau, he also confirmed that Zhao Ji was fine for a while, and he only needed to be careful to maintain and rest for the time being, but Zhao Ji's every move was monitored by countless pairs of eyes inside and outside the palace, no matter what kind of secret, as long as it was related to the Son of Heaven, it would be spread out of the palace in a blink of an eye.

However, the degree of distortion to which the news spreads is often jaw-dropping. Half a day later, when the news spread to the capital, it was already the Son of Heaven who was overly worried about the defeat of the Lingzhou army and the Liao people helping Xia, and thus suffered from wind disease. All the imperial doctors in the Imperial Doctor Bureau were all passed into the Funing Palace.

Hearing the news, the deacons entered the palace in a panic and asked to see them. At that time, the palace gates were locked, and Wang Jue and Lu Huiqing forced Shi Deyi, who was guarding the door, to open the palace door. As soon as there was a fuss, it came to the Funing Palace, and the truth was not revealed until Zhao Ji came out to explain in person. And the commotion in the capital gradually subsided in the morning of the next day, when the Son of Heaven was in the Wende Palace.

It's just that although the turmoil on the surface has subsided, the hearts of the people under the sea are becoming more and more turbulent. After this incident, the issue of the succession of the Son of Heaven has re-emerged on the table and has become an imminent key issue in court politics.

There are one and two, today the Son of Heaven is just dizzy, but next time, next time, maybe in a few months, the Son of Heaven will no longer be able to sit on the imperial couch in the Daqing Palace. And this time because of the urgency of the military situation and worry too much, what will happen when the Yanzhou army is defeated or the Liao people invade the south?

It has always been difficult to live a long life as an emperor, and none of the successive sons of the Zhao family has been in their sixties, and Yingzong's lifespan is less than forty, and today's one is already one in thirty, and he has passed his early years. With his physical condition, it is not surprising when something happens.

The Empress Dowager, who once listened to the government and was able to stabilize the court, was in the blink of an eye, and the imperial heirs were only Zhao Maid, who ranked sixth, and Zhao Wei, who ranked eighth. And the eighth son of the emperor, Zhao Kui, has a very bad body, although he has been planted with pox, don't worry about acne, but he had convulsions twice in the summer, and no one dares to be sure whether he can keep it.

In such a situation, Zhao Hao, the Yongwang who is most loved by the Empress Dowager Gao and ranks second only to the Son of Heaven, his market is also rising. In the past few days, I also went to Daxiangguo Temple, saying that it was to pray for the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven. The Empress Dowager is fine, but isn't the Son of Heaven sick?

Lu Huiqing lit the lamp and burned the letter that had just been half written.

There is no need to write to Han Gang anymore. Leaving a piece of evidence in Han Gang's hands is tantamount to giving him a handle. No matter how vague the text is, once it is poked out, it will be troublesome. Since the Son of Heaven's illness has spread in Beijing, Han Gang will not be ignorant of the Dao. Han Gang has his own eyes and ears in Beijing, and Lu Huiqing believes that he can receive these news.

In Lu Huiqing's view, it is only for his own thoughts, and Han Gang should also try to maintain Yanzhou.

…………………………

The autumn atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, the mountains are dyed golden or crimson, and the blue sky is getting higher and wider.

The autumn tax is only coming to an end, winter sowing is about to begin, and in many places beans are still planted after the wheat harvest, and harvesting and plowing are troublesome. The rain in Taiyuan after autumn is somewhat on the low side, which is also very worrying. Although in fact, it was the magistrate below who was in charge of these tasks, but Han Gang had to go through the documents of the signature every day, and the number of them was increasing, almost to the point of multiplication.

Han Gang is really annoyed by such an errand, there are still many things waiting for him in the Hedong Army, but there are more things in Taiyuan Mansion than in military affairs. After a busy morning, the official documents on the table have only increased, but not decreased, even Han Gang, who is good at political affairs, is inevitably becoming less and less efficient.

However, at noon, a visitor reinvigorated Han Gang.

"Long Tu, Mrs. and the three ladies will probably arrive in Taiyuan before dark."

Han Gang was ecstatic when he heard this, the husband and wife had been separated for a few months, and finally had time to bring them to Taiyuan Mansion. rewarded the family members who came to report the news in advance, let people arrange for him to go down to rest, and sent people out of the city to greet him.

Han Gang thought carefully that since he entered the officialdom and took up his new post every time, he had always taken office in a hurry, and he was afraid of delaying the time, almost every time he arrived at the office in advance, and only when everything was arranged was in place, he sent someone to pick up his family. There is really no ordinary official who can take his family and leisurely travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, and the most recent one or two months after receiving the appointment before taking office.

People always like what they don't have, and Han Gang is not exempt from vulgarity. In the busyness, I often envy this. It's really the same official's fate, when can I do things so easily.

It is still necessary to train more assistants, and if the staff below can share a little more responsibility, it will be easier for themselves. At the routine military meeting in the afternoon, Han Gang, who had been tired for a long time, couldn't help but lose his mind.

Huang Sheng didn't notice Han Gang's distraction, and still said today's topic to everyone aloud: "Now that the divination people are blocking the road from Xiazhou to Yanzhou, the cultivator will definitely push the boat down the river, and he will never save Xu Xi wholeheartedly." ”

This is Huang Shang's prediction of whether Chong Ge will forcibly send troops to rescue Yanzhou, and basically the staff in the hall agree with him.

Today, Li Xian, who was stationed in the Jinning Army in Tun, sent someone to pass a letter to Taiyuan and sent a letter from Chong Ge at the same time. In the letter, he asked Hedong to jointly send troops to maintain the road to Yanzhou.

"I sent a letter to ask Long Tu to jointly send troops for this, saying that the good ones are to deal with the story, and to say the bad ones are to lead the trouble."

"If Longtu doesn't send troops to help, he can take advantage of the situation to shirk his responsibility, and if Longtu sends troops to help, as long as he fails to block the diviner, Longtu will also have to bear a share of responsibility."

"If three points of Chong's mind are used on serious matters, I am afraid that the official army would have already conquered Lingzhou City."

"But now, when he wrote to Long Tu, he must have done the same. Once the imperial court issued an order, when the time came, it had to obey. ”

"Part of Li Xian's army stationed in Jinning Army villages, can a part of it be called to assist in the defense of Xiazhou? Even if the plant wants to shirk the blame later, we can be reasonable. Although Li Xian didn't say it explicitly, since he asked people to bring the official letter and the letter of the planter, he must be on the side of the planter. ”

"That's right! When it is. Otherwise, he should divide into two groups to deliver the letter and clear himself. ”

"With the strength of our Hedong Army, we have done our best to defend Jialuchuan and Mida Cave and keep Yinzhou and Xiazhou. How can you still be distracted from Yanzhou? Don't forget the Khitans in the north, who don't stand by and watch the excitement. ”

"A month ago, the Liao people were frustrated outside the Xicheng village, so they died down. From three days ago, Daizhou once again urgently reported the military situation, clearly cooperating with the actions of the Western Thieves. ”

"Once the northern army is in flames, the troops in Hedong will have to be transferred to the north, how can there be extra troops to guard the road."

"It is better to report this to the imperial court, and report that the Liao army seems to have the intention of raising troops to invade the south, and ask for additional reinforcements. Presumably, the imperial court will not advocate planting. ”

The discussions of the staff below, Han Gang listened to them all. He now regrets that he made his attitude towards Yanzhou too early, so that now all his staff members have begun to find excuses to shirk the responsibility of aiding Yanzhou.

If their identity is just a guest of the envoy of Hedong Road, everything is for the sake of him Han Gang, it is indeed not wrong. But they are more Qi disciples, and Han Gang doesn't want to see a group of bureaucrats who can only compete for merit.

Sitting up straight, and just as he was about to speak, Zhi Keshi, who was at the bottom of the house, took the first step to speak, "If you act like this, how will the world view Long Tu?" What will the Son of Heaven think? ”

The staff's discussion was interrupted, and more than a dozen eyes all converged on Zhi Keshi's body.

One person sneered and asked rhetorically: "Shangyu Xixia civil strife, it was he who planted five to ask for troops to destroy Xia, it was he who planted five to rush troops to fight for merit, and it was he who planted five even Hanhai who couldn't get through, and now he retreated to Yinzhou and Xiazhou, claiming that the thief army was powerful, and it was he who asked Hedong to protect the road was still planted five." But I don't know what the world thinks of him. What does the Son of Heaven think of him? ”

"How can the dragon figure be compared!" Zhi Keshi arched his hand to Han Gang, "Whether it is in Hehuang or Hengshan, Long Tu has always been able to share worries for the king. Don't harm state affairs with selfish intentions. Especially in Hengshan that year, Long Tu insisted that Luo Wu would be defeated, and said in advance that he would not take it even if he had merit, but he still conscientiously kept the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Luo Wu City, and even brought back the wounded soldiers after the last time, and also captured thousands of beheadings. After that, Long Tu said that he had surrendered the rebels of the Guangrui Army. The credit of pouring the sky, but Long Tu is like a mountain, and he has not taken a penny. It is because of this character that Long Tu will be admired by the world and valued by the Son of Heaven. He is selfish, that is, he acts treacherously and does not know righteousness, but how can Long Tu be such a person? Do you want to learn from the dragon map?! ”

This hat is big enough, and if you put it on your head, you don't know the righteousness. This is a threat of 'righteousness', and none of you here can see it.

Huang Sheng peeked at Han Gang, but he didn't find the slightest unhappiness on his face, on the contrary, he was smiling, showing that he was in a good mood.

The staff members chuckled in their hearts, and Han Gang's words seemed to be indifferent, which meant that he was inclined to assist Tan Ge and Yan Yanlu. And if the judge is on the side of the opponent, then no matter how much you argue next, it will be difficult to change the outcome.

I didn't expect to be proud of this martial artist.

The staff members were a little unwilling in their hearts, but some of them still pondered, he couldn't be wrong, Han Gang's image was very important to the Qi Sect people, and it couldn't be damaged.
