Chapter 43: What Does Bamboo Paper Know (I)
The disturbing ceremony is finally over.
On the same day, the Son of Heaven drove back to the palace, and the next day the Imperial Daqing Palace, issued an amnesty edict.
In the Tianxia County Prison, except for the Dabi [death penalty] and the ten heinous felonies, all the other offenders are pardoned. Officials who were previously reprimanded were also pardoned. And the ministers and sergeants were rewarded. In the officer, rank, lord, and knighthood, they are given according to their rank and send.
Han Gang is certainly no exception.
But for Han Gang, the promotion of loose officials and honors is simply a gimmick. The promotion of the rank of a loose official to Tong Zhilang from the sixth rank, and the promotion of the rank to the rank of the fifth rank of the cavalry captain, is just to elongate the official name on the body, and it has no practical significance at all.
If you really want to talk about it, it's more real to get the grub meat. No matter what kind of sacrifice it is, the pigs, cows, sheep and three animals that are enshrined in front of the god are all put on the head, and the rest of the meat is divided equally among the participants, and the suburban ceremony is no exception. There are hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers. Han Gang got more than a dozen catties of glossary meat, which was the front leg of a pig, which was more oil and water than Tong Zhilang and Captain Shangqi.
The same is true of the rewards of the suburbs, except for the things of gold silk, which are basically all empty. Even if it seems to be something practical, if you think that all the officials in the country can enjoy the blessings, you should know that such a reward is not as good as giving money directly. Only a high-ranking official and eunuch can get a few places for their descendants after the suburbs, which is the value of their participation in the suburbs.
However, Han Gang also had a great merit in relocating the displaced people, and the next day, Han Gang got another copy of the book.
This official is from the right of the seventh grade, and the special purpose is to transfer the living house of the seventh grade - of course, this official position is only to mark the grade and the official of the Lu, not that Han Gang wants to follow behind Zhao Ji and record the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, this work is responsible for the cultivation of the living notes and the living notes of the initiates in the living room.
It's just that after reaching the court official, the official and grade are no longer important, and it is only related to the number of Yulu. The important thing is the seniority, and the other is the literary title of the librarian and the post post, which represents the importance of the imperial court and the potential in the officialdom. Han Gang's seniority was the first governor of the prefecture after he was raised. And the title of the job has also been promoted from Jixian School Manager to Zhilong Tuge, and there are only one or two steps left from the waist gold belt and the servant system of the straddle tamarin. Once you cross over, you will be a member of the high-ranking officials of the DPRK and the central government.
Listening to the news coming out of the palace, Zhao Ji actually intended to promote Han Gang directly to serve in Tianzhang Pavilion, but he gave Wang Qi back. He said that Han Gang had only been in the rank of Jinshi for only one year, and he had to serve in the system, which was inevitably appalling, and although he had meritorious deeds, he should not set this precedent. Regarding Wang Jue's proposal, Feng Jing agreed, Lu Huiqing only helped Han Gang to say a few words without pain, but Han Jiang didn't open his mouth at all, and Zhao Ji could only give up in the end.
After Han Gang heard about it, he was not angry at all. It's not a good thing to go too fast, and it's not a bad thing to have no backer in the court.
Do not be attached to the court, and live upright. Such a gesture, in the eyes of Zhao Ji, is the most popular lonely minister of the emperor. For Han Gang, who aims to be a ruler and is already only one step away from the servant system, the so-called backing is simply a trouble, shit-like shit, it gets on his hands, and it's too late to wash it, so it's impossible to stick it up by himself. It's a good thing that Feng Jing and Wang Jue can't get along with themselves.
And in order to compensate Han Gang, Zhao Ji gave him the title of a founding county man. But Han Gang resigned directly, and this kind of false title has no meaning at all. resigned twice, and after reaching the most important time, it was changed to adding officials to Han Gang's second son, and giving officials to Han Gang's two deceased brothers.
With the book in his hand, Han Gang looked back at his second son, who was still nursing, and the eldest son who was running back and forth with his sister in the yard. Such a child can give an official body, but he has to work hard to earn it. After ten years of hard work, it is better to have a good baby.
It is now a common practice for Yin to supplement his descendants, and Han Gang will not pretend to be high enough to refuse, and he has already resigned from the title of the founder county baron, and now he refuses to make up his son, it will inevitably give people the feeling of being invited to clear his name. And looking at Wang Yi and Su Xin, who were all happy about this, and thinking about the feelings of the parents in the township after hearing the news that the two brothers were given the gifts, it was difficult for Han Gang to refuse.
"Official." Wang Yi reminded Han Gang, "I have to give the eldest brother and second brother a big name." ”
Generally speaking, children only give their names after they go to school, and when they reach adulthood, they start to use their names. But now that the two boys have official status, they must send their official names.
Han Gang didn't bother much about it, according to the custom of this era: "The name of the husband comes from the sentence of Yuzukungang." Jade is a stone genus, which is considered a soil line. The five elements are born of gold, and the names of the eldest brother and the second brother are all from the side of the gold characters. ”
It didn't take much to say, the eldest son Han Zhong and the second son Han Cheng, the two daimyos were given. Han Gang wrote down the three generations of family affairs by handwriting, and said with a smile: "In the future, the third and fourth children can be called Han Gong and Han Bo ......."
The four wives and concubines were anxious together, "Official! ”
Han Gang Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." ”
Write down the family report, and you can hand it in a few days, waiting for the report to be sent. Han Gang put down his pen and said to his wife and concubine: "Tomorrow as a husband, I should go to the ordnance prison." Take advantage of these two days to clean up your house. ”
Zhou Nandao: "Officials rest assured, it will be cleaned up today and tomorrow." ”
The house that Han Gang rented when he and Wang Yi got married has now been rented out. However, after all, Han Gang had been a member of the prefecture, and he was familiar with the Kaifeng Mansion, so it was easy to find a good courtyard. It is also an official property and is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. The rent is much higher than the previous one, of course, this is also because of the good location and large area.
The courtyard of the front and back three entrances, located in the north city, is surrounded by the houses of the eunuchs, looking to the east, you can see the five-zhang high imperial city wall. It is also in line with Han Gang's identity, but the rent is also expensive, and Wang Yi, who is in charge of the house, is having a headache for the rent.
Han Gang's fortune is not small, and he has received many rewards, but he is a big spend. Not to mention anything else, when the three staff members were successful, he directly sent 500 pieces of property to each as a congratulatory gift. Moreover, Han Gang values his reputation and never accepts heavy gifts. A few days ago, Wang Yi gave birth to a son, and the gifts Han Gang received added up to less than a thousand times. There are servants and maidservants in the house, and the population is thirty-five or sixteen, and he depends on him for food and clothing. Relying on money alone, there is no surplus wealth at all.
"Speaking of which, the family's New Year's goods should almost be loosened, didn't Uncle Feng write a few days ago saying that he wanted to go to Beijing before the lunar month? He also said that he would take his younger siblings to meet his parents-in-law this time. Wang Yi asked Han Gang against the ledger.
"Two days ago, I heard rumors about the snow disaster in Guanzhong, but because I didn't want to interfere with the suburban ceremony, the reported chapter was suppressed by the political affairs hall. I don't know if it's delayed for this reason. ”
Two little children playing in the yard were covered in snow. Su Xin was helping them wipe it, and when she heard Han Gang's words, she turned around in surprise and asked, "Why is there another disaster?" ”
Han Gang sighed: "The Eighteenth Road of the Great Song Dynasty, with a territory of thousands of miles, in which year will there be no famine?" ”
Wang Yi's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled in embarrassment: "It's not easy to delay this, and during the New Year's Festival, the number of rituals must be fulfilled...... The family's savings are running out. ”
"It's only the beginning of the lunar month, and there are still more than 20 days left for the New Year, don't worry, it's definitely coming." Han Gang didn't care about this.
As he was talking, suddenly someone reported outside: "Sheren, Feng Guanren is from Guanxi." ”
Han Gang laughed lowly: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." He said, "Why don't you hurry up and invite someone in." ”
The convoy entered the courtyard of the Han family. More than a dozen guards dismounted, and the eight carriages that came with them stopped in the courtyard. Two of them were carrying people, and the remaining six were loaded with cargo. The cargo in the body was piled high and tightly covered with tarpaulins and ropes.
Feng Congyi strode in, although he was only in his early twenties, the tempering of the past few years had made his expression and demeanor a bit of a wealthy businessman's bearing.
As soon as he saw Han Gang, Feng Congyi bowed down: "Congyi congratulates the third cousin on his entry into the knighthood." Behind him, the Gao clan of the Hun family also bowed his knees to Han Gang and said ten thousand blessings.
Han Gang picked up his cousin and said with a smile: "You are well-informed. ”
Feng Congyi also smiled: "My cousin is now famous. When the younger brother entered the city gate, he heard everything when he inquired about your present dwelling, cousin. ”
"Is my father and mother well?" Han Gang asked after him.
Feng Congyi nodded again and again: "It's all good, it's all good." My aunt also asked me to bring me the little clothes she made herself, saying that they were for my nephews and nieces. ”
As Feng Congyi spoke, he took out a letter from home from his arms, as well as a gift list he had brought over, and presented it to Han Gang. Then he met with the Hun family and Wang Yi.
After the courtesies on both sides, Wang Yi took the Gao family in to settle down, and the guards and coachmen who came with Feng Congyi outside were also settled. Fortunately, it was a large compound that rented three entrances, otherwise it would not have been possible to accommodate more than 20 people who suddenly became extra.
Sitting down with Feng Congyi, and waiting for the next person to serve the tea soup, Han Gang opened the letter and read it carefully. However, it was full of questions about his grandchildren, but there were not a few words about his son.
Putting down the letterhead, Han Gang knocked on the bright red gift slip on the table, "Did you send it to Jing Nan's cousin?" ”
Feng Congyi smiled: "Cousin, don't worry. In October of this year's New Year's gift, my aunt urged her to send it to Jingnan, for fear that the road would be delayed. It was personally escorted by the Qian steward, and the guards were all recruited from the Zhuangzi, so there was no need to worry about anything. ”
"Cousin Xin is now the founding man of Yongping County, a general in Jingnan, and he has more places to spend money than I have here. The money and things still have to be given away, and he can't be embarrassed every day. ”
"My cousin is worried too much, and my aunt has already thought about it."
