Chapter 6: Seeing the Four Evils in the Mountains (12)
Wang Hou dragged his tired footsteps and walked out of the imperial city.
Walking through the deep and dark doorway of Xuande Gate, when the sun shone down, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
I haven't slept for more than a day, and I just have time to eat and drink, and when Wang Hou, who suddenly got a big responsibility, completed the task wholeheartedly, and reported it like the queen mother, the rest was just exhaustion.
I was so sleepy that even my mind became dull, my thoughts seemed to fall into a quagmire, and I couldn't change the ending that was getting more and more difficult with all my might. Only the empty belly can still make a clear and bright sound of hunger.
"Erlang, want to go back?"
The horse was led by Wang Hou's personal entourage who had served Wang Hou for many years, and when Wang Hou finally went out, he immediately greeted him
ββ¦β¦ Where to go back? β
Wang Hou rubbed his forehead vigorously, and then asked rhetorically.
"Erlang, do you have a place you want to go?"
Wang Hou was thinking about it, but before he could reach a conclusion, a group of people rushed up.
'Go to the Cabinet! β
'Imperial City! β
They are all called Wang Hou, but half of them are not the same as the other half. But no matter how you call it, it's the same Wang Hou.
The envoy of the Western Cabinet and promoted the Imperial City Division was not very in line with the official system, but in order to reward Wang Hou's merits, and at the same time, it was more so that Wang Hou could change his name to the members of the Imperial City Division, so that they could make meritorious contributions, and no one in the Zai Fu objected to this.
However, this is not to let Wang Hou manage the Imperial City Division while being the cabinet envoy, but only to let him be the chief official of the Imperial City Division.
The cabinet envoy is not only the actual dispatch, but also a class in the military attache sequence.
Wang Hou was originally going to be appointed as the cabinet envoy, but the official class was still at the level of the envoys of the seventh grade, but now because of the merits in the palace change case, it has become the appointment of the imperial city secretary, that is to say, with Wang Hou taking office as the imperial city secretary, his western cabinet envoy has changed from a practical post to an official rank.
Even though it sounds confusing. But this only means one thing, that is, Wang Hou directly stepped into the horizontal class and became one of the only twenty high-ranking generals in the million-strong army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the top-level Sanyaguan army was not far in front of him. And with Wang Hou's age, merits, and background, it will not be a problem for him to be promoted to the Sanya Management Army in the future.
Just because Wang Hou has a bright future, the officials who caught up with the flattery rushed to be the first. It's just that Wang Hou was dizzy at this time, and his stomach was also uncomfortably hungry, so he shook off the gang with a few words, and quickly left, turned a few streets and alleys, and stopped in a secluded alley.
Wang Hou immediately took off his official robe, borrowed the robe and hat from a personal guard, and sent this man back with the official uniform first, while he himself took the remaining relatives out of the alley and sat down at a hotel across the road.
After ordering wine and food, Wang Hou just picked up the chopsticks when he heard someone talking at the table next door. Listen carefully, not only this table, but even the surrounding tables are talking about yesterday's Daqing Palace changes.
From the day of the palace change, the search lasted for a day and a night, and it was not announced until the next day.
It's not that there are no fish that have slipped through the net, but small fish that are not much bigger than shrimp are insignificant even if they run away. Moreover, Kaifeng Mansion has issued sea fishing documents, and most of them are difficult to escape from the boundaries of Kaifeng Mansion.
It was at this time that the details of the palace change spread in the capital. But the truth was confused in rumors and spread all over the world. But one thing will not change, first, the prime minister was killed in the Daqing Palace, and second, it was Han Gang who solved him.
Han Gang's fame was already known to everyone, and this time he became famous again. In exchange, what can be exchanged is not bowing and worshipping, but high-spirited high-minded talk in the market.
Maybe in the upper echelons, it is a matter of life and death, and Han Gang is seeking survival in death. One of his bones killed Cai Qu, although there is an element of force, but it is more of a reflection of his vision and decisiveness. But below, how he overturned Cai Cheng has become the focus of the people's concern.
Wang Hou never thought that the thrilling scene in the Daqing Hall could turn into a comedy or martial arts drama at the very least.
When he heard someone next to him saying that Han Gang was holding a golden bone that the first emperor secretly gave before his death, he beat the unconscious king on the top and the traitorous ministers on the bottom. killed the traitor who wanted to rebel with a hammer, and forced back the traitorous king who wanted to usurp the throne of his nephew, as well as the eccentric and old and confused queen mother, so he even put down the wine glass and listened to the story with his ears pricked up.
"Xiao Han Xianggong's two arms have the strength of a thousand catties, and they can carry the tripod, and they tear the treacherous appearance, and when they hammer down, they will burst out red and white together. Although the traitorous minister was smashed in the skull by Xiao Han Xianggong's hammer, Ban Zhi was unwilling, they were many and powerful, and Xiao Han Xianggong was alone. As everyone knows, Xiao Han Xianggong is the reincarnation of the Great Immortal in the upper realm, and he has divine might. With just a loud shout, tens of thousands of Ban Zhi in the imperial city were frightened. There are a large number of frightened people, and the guards who are rebellious in the Daqing Hall are all scared of and urine, and the smell is stinking. β
Wang Hou shook his head when he heard this, this is really outrageous. But he still sat still, listening to the fun on the side.
"Little Han Xianggong, who is that? Before being admitted to the Jinshi, he was invincible in Guanxi for 800 miles of Weishui, and met a group of brothers, drank wine, burned yellow paper, and beheaded chickens. The first is that Xiao Han Xianggong is both civil and military, and he is a doctor of medicine, and the second is that Xiao Han Xianggong can fight many brothers. General Li of the flying spear, Wang Tuanlian of the Lianzhu Divine Marksman, and that Zhao ...... Zhao ...... General Zhao is an amazing master. β
Wang Hou lowered his head and almost didn't bite off a piece of the wine glass. It's too hard to hold back laughter, it's just that the teeth bite the silver cup, and the body trembles with laughter.
Xiao Han Xianggong took off his clothes in the palace, the tattoo was like brocade, extending from his chest to his back, and the palace was stunned up and down. said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Xiao Han Xianggong grabbed the treacherous minister, grabbed the treacherous minister and made a fall, and threw the treacherous minister to the ground to make a horse stomach. stepped on the adulterous appearance, and then waved the golden bone flower, and beat the adulterous appearance to three thousand peach blossoms. β
Wang Hou pressed his chest with his hand, and he was almost out of breath. This is like sumo wrestling, sumo is to strip before fighting, bare-chested only wrapped in a crotch cloth, so female sumo wrestling is so popular in the capital, Han Gang undressed before killing Cai Qu, this is not sumo wrestling?
"Don't you know that Han Xianggong's grandfather is a famous general in the northwest? He once killed thieves side by side with Di Gong. The family heirloom technique of flying spears was handed down by the flying general Li Guang...... Don't interject, don't I know that the flying general is like a god of archery, and the beaded arrows are like decals on paper, one after another, and others can't plug in a sticker if they want to. β
"It's just that General Fei's son is named Li Kang, who unfortunately injured an arm in the battle and can't use arrows anymore. So he studied the flying spear hard, practiced hard day and night, and had the talent of long-range shooting, and finally practiced it for him, and since then he has followed the champion Hou Nan to fight in the north, and has made great achievements, and has also been named Hou ...... What, Li Dare was killed by the champion Hou? Don't talk nonsense, the one surnamed Sima will talk nonsense. A while ago, a Sima jar came from Luoyang, dug a hole in the ground to write a book in it, and talked nonsense in the hall, and Xiao Han Xianggong saw at a glance that he was actually crazy! β
"Where? β¦β¦ Ah yes, after Li Hou practiced the flying spear, it was passed down from generation to generation, and it was passed down like this. It was passed all the way to General Lee, the cousin of Han Xianggong. This General Li has a name, called Little Flying General, but that's not how it came about. β
"What kind of hero does that little flying general think? With a flying spear, he killed the western thief and the southern barbarian crying father and mother, even if he fought with Liao Dog, he didn't lose much of his hand. β
"It's a pity that this kind of secret technique is passed on to the son but not to the daughter, so Xiao Han Xianggong has not been able to learn it, otherwise wouldn't it be easy to smash the adulterous dog's head with a flying hammer? And rush over to fight. β
"And do you know who General Lu Dao Nafei's archery skills have been passed on? β¦β¦ That's right, it's the king group training who recently leveled the Western Regions! Wang Tuan's practice of arranging flowers on the target is thousands of times faster than embroidery, and in the blink of an eye, he used an arrow to nail out a flower on the target. That's why they came out together to assist Xiao Han Xianggong, this is the fate of a thousand years, passed down for a hundred generations. β
This is ancient again, and the level is far beyond the surroundings. Wang Hou heard this, and his stomach was no longer hungry, but his laughter hurt. Holding his stomach and lying on the table, he wanted to see what kind of expression Han Gang would have after hearing these rumors.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Tens of thousands of classes straight out with a shout?"
Hearing the relay of his wife and concubine at home, Han Gang laughed out loud.
Now those rumor mongers are addicted to lip service, and there is no need to guarantee the authenticity when they are. But it's a bit too far.
If there are really tens of thousands of classes and don't want them to rebel, Lu Jiawen of the Third Division will rebel first.
How many civil and military officials in the world are there together? More than 40,000 points, 50,000 less points.
The palace class is no worse than the civil and military attachΓ©s who enter the stream. If there is such a class with high salary, high benefits and high treatment, there are 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, and the courtiers will have to drink the northwest wind.
There is also a series of Li Xin and Wang Sunchen, which made Han Gang laugh so much that he lost his image. Finally, I know how the daughters-in-law of Tianbo Yang Mansion went into battle one by one.
However, when it comes to the affairs of the palace outside, the gold-coated iron bone is indispensable to participate. No matter which paragraph it is, it will tell you how the golden bones smashed the skull of the adulterous minister.
If only I could get it back. Han Gang thought.
If Han Gang can get back the bones, sign it again, and then write 'Ding Chou in February of the first year of Yuanyou, and kill Cai against the Daqing Palace', to ensure that it will be valuable in the future, if the Queen Mother can also sign it and become a royal gift, it will be more historical.
With Han Gang's status and net worth, ordinary antiquities and treasures will not be taken into account. And Han Gang himself, although he doesn't even care about the treasured antique treasures, he will inevitably be secretly happy when he thinks of leaving a legendary national treasure to future generations.
It's a pity that the iron bone duo is the weapon of the imperial dragon bone duo in the palace, and it is not a souvenir that can be taken out of the palace, and Han Gang is not embarrassed to take it out of the palace on his body. But if you really want to talk about it, even if you hold it in your hands, Han Gang can still swagger out of the city, and no one dares to stop him.
After all, he was still thin-skinned and failed to do things, so that the iron bones of 'beating the unconscious king and beating the traitorous ministers' were lost in the palace. Han Gang deeply regretted this.
Jokes spread throughout the city, but the court began to discuss how to reward meritorious officials.
Although there is no final result yet, Han Gang has already decided to be promoted to the title of Duke of Guo, not the Duke of Lai Guo, who once insisted on resigning, but the Duke of Qi. Skip the small country and China, and directly promote the big country and the prince. If you are not the prime minister, you are the prince of the country, and you are the prince of a big country, which has almost no precedent in the past.
And Wang Anshi wants to add another title of the Duke of Chu in addition to the Duke of Chu, which is for the Duke of the two countries. If it weren't for the fact that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the courtiers did not have the old practice of giving birth to county kings, Wang Anshi would have been able to take a step closer.
Then Zhang Dan, Su Song, Zhang Qi and others were all awarded. The final results will be discussed in a few days and then made public.
It seems that it has been cleaned up, but everyone in the court knows that this is just the calm before the storm hits - only because of Han Gang's proposal on how to choose the candidate for Zaifu.
Wang Anshi and the two prefectures had no objection to Han Gang's proposal. Suddenly handing over the power to draft the candidate for the saeki to the ministers below, Han Gang's proposal, no matter which one of the zaifu opposes, will become the target of hatred of all officials above the rank of servant in the world.
So the court became a pot of porridge. Han Gang sat as firmly as Mount Tai at home.
No matter how big the storm was outside, Han Gang did not change his attitude. is still stable, as if nothing has anything to do with him.
Winter is almost over, and spring is not far away.
On a sunny afternoon, Han Gang, who had no real job, lived a leisurely life. In the small pavilion on the rockery in the back garden, while basking in the sun, I carefully checked the homework of my children
Han Zhong and Han Cheng were respectful in front of Han Gang, quietly waiting for Han Gang's evaluation of their homework. And Jin Niang was not far away, holding a cylindrical thing like a clairvoyant, with her eyes on one of them, looking inside.
"Big sister, stop playing with kaleidoscope, it's time to learn embroidery!" Zhou Nan rarely straightened his face and taught his daughter not to play.
Jin Niang didn't seem to hear it, but still held it
"It's okay to play more, children, play hard."
Hearing Han Gang say this, Jin Niang stopped playing. Pouted, put down the kaleidoscope.
Han Gang smiled and asked his daughter to go out to learn female redness, and picked up the kaleidoscope casually.
This is a toy that was only sent from home, and Han Gang didn't pay attention to it before.
Inside, there are three long glass silver mirrors in the shape of a triangle, and on the inside of the silver mirror are some colored broken glass and mica sheets. When facing the sun.
There is no definite recipe for stained glass, but larger glass workshops are developing it, mixing various mineral powders into the molten raw material in an attempt to create stained glass.
The appearance of the kaleidoscope is exquisite, but what makes it even more attractive is the constantly changing pattern that will never be repeated. Although there are only a dozen pieces of color fragments inside, as long as you gently turn the lens barrel with your wrist, you can see colorful, complex and symmetrical patterns.
"Official!" Just sent his daughter away to learn embroidery, Zhou Nan turned around and saw Han Gang picking up the kaleidoscope and playing. Immediately, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, "What will you think if you let the children in the family see it!" β
Han Gang put it down casually, but after just a few glances, he had already seen enough things, which made him very satisfied with the progress of Kansai's manufacturing industry.
Although the kaleidoscope is a child's toy, the fact that such a toy can be made with a glass silver mirror also proves the level of handicraft industry in the Yongqin area. When an artificial power source can be created, that is basically the beginning of the industrial revolution.
"The officials still think about it more, it's not that someone came back to report where Li Zhongcheng went to visit relatives and friends again. I just left a mess for people to clean up, and I didn't want to think about what to do. Zhou Nan said angrily.
Yun Niang smiled: "It's okay now, when the third brother becomes a father-in-law, it won't be so leisurely." β
"Be a good man? That's going to be hard, you'll have to wait slowly. Han Gang spread his hands, "It's hard for the husband to even enter the two mansions now." If he is elected by the court today, most of the husbands will lose, he will not be able to be the first place, and he may not even be able to become a candidate. β
ββ¦β¦ What else does the official have to offer for Lang? Yan Suxin didn't understand, "Even if you just excuse yourself, the Queen Mother won't be angry." β
"Are you an official or don't you want to enter the two mansions?" Zhou Nan asked.
has been with Han Gang for many years, and Zhou Nan knows that her husband doesn't pay much attention to the cool umbrella. What I really care about is qi. It is not once or twice that he has resigned from the position of the eastern and western governments. But when it comes to the battle of Taoism, he doesn't let it go, whether it's the emperor or the prime minister, he has no choice.
If it is said that her husband gave up his easy-hanging position for the sake of the future of Qi this time, Zhou Nan would not be surprised at all.
Wang Yi also felt that it was best not to go in at this time, and there would not be much more, and the family would not be able to live in peace all day. It's not that if you make a mistake this time, you won't be able to enter the two mansions again, why bother to suffer every time, if Han Gang can be a general prime minister of the peace, that's what Wang Yi is looking forward to the most.
"On the cusp of the wind and waves, you always have to be careful, it's better not to do it."
Han Gang said with a smile: "With this little wind and waves, the small boat will capsize, but the big ship will not." β
"Didn't the official just say that no one was elected, so he couldn't be elected?" Wang Yi asked strangely.
"Tingtui is half a month later!"
"This can't go wrong?"
"Of course." Han Gang nodded vigorously.
Wang Yi was even more confused: "What is it for?" β
In half a month, what other means can Han Gang have to reverse it? But with her understanding of her husband, Han Gang would definitely not run around looking for supporters like Lu Jiawen and Li Ding. In this way, in half a month, those people who are qualified to be promoted, how can there be many changes?
Wang Yi didn't understand at all, even Zhou Nan, Su Xin and Yun Niang looked at their husbands with confused expressions.
Han Gang pointed back at himself and asked, "Who is the husband?" β
The wives and concubines could all hear that Han Gang was asking, not conceited cross-examination.
Zhou Nan tilted his head and said with a smile: "Of course the official." β
Han Gang snorted: "That's a good word...... Not right. β
"Ten thousand Buddhas, when the world is a teacher?"
"If you don't say it with a smile, it will be more sincere......" Han Gang laughed, and then shook his head: "No." β
Yan Suxin asked, "...... Is it the most trusted by the Queen Mother? β
When she asked, she knew that she was wrong. Han Gang has been trusted by the Queen Mother, and it is consistent, not that there will be any changes in half a month.
And this trust is not very popular in the Han family, after all, this is another surname Han.
So Han Gang still shook his head, "No." β
Wang Yi didn't plan to guess, and asked directly: "Official, what is it?" β
"Yes, third brother, what is it?" Yun Niang pushed Han Gang's arm and urged him not to sell Guan Zi again.
Han Gang smiled slightly, "The husband is a northerner. β
