Looking at the guests sitting flat in front of him, Zeng Xiaokuan had a difficult problem in his heart.

He didn't have much friendship with this person, why did he come to visit him, could it be to contact Han Gang instead?

During this time, there were not many people who came to visit Zeng Xiaokuan, and he had always been on the side of Zhang Dan, so that no one would think that he would have any other ideas than to follow Zhang Dan.

Pu Zongmeng is the first, he has always followed Han Gang, this time back, is he here to dig the foot of the wall?

Even though Pu Zongmeng didn't know what Zeng Xiaokuan was thinking, he could guess a little, he put down the teacup and asked frankly, "I wonder if Ling Xuan has read the newspaper in recent days?" ”

Now there are still courtiers who don't read the newspaper, Zeng Xiaokuan admitted: "I saw it." ”

"I don't know what Ling Yu thinks?"

"Someone is delusional."

A cadre of the clan is making waves behind the newspapers, and rumors about the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven are rampant in the city.

"Where's this wishful thinking?" Pu Zongmeng smiled, "Sooner or later, it's just a little early." ”

Zeng Xiaokuan frowned slightly, Pu Zongmeng was shallow and deep.

Pu Zongmeng didn't wait for Zeng Xiaokuan to think about it, and further said: "The Son of Heaven lost his essence early when he was young, and his kidney water was unstable. And the heavenly family is already having a difficult heir, and when they meet this one, imagine how many princes and princesses will there be in the palace ten years later? When the time comes, don't you want to recruit the clan into the palace to raise you? ”

Zhao Hao, the king of Wei, died after lingering on the sickbed for more than a year, and the eldest princess of Qilu passed away a year earlier. The children left by Yingzong Zhao Shu are still alive today.

But there are not many grandsons of Emperor Yingzong. There are a total of six uncles and brothers today, among which the two sons of Zhao Hao, the king of Er, cannot ascend to the throne, but the four sons of Zhao Hao are all qualified enough.

Even if Zhao Xu's four sons can't be selected, there is also the Pu Wang family, and there are as many as fifty or sixty cousins of the same generation as Zhao Xu, among which there are more than ten or twenty people of the right age, and there are more than fifty cousins who are younger than Zhao Xu.

Whether it is for the queen mother to receive it for the first emperor. Adopted sons, or to find a few adopted sons for the current emperor, there are sufficient and redundant choices.

"That's too early."

"Early, not early at all. Wang Sun-sin came back in no more than three months, and only two months at least. As soon as he arrives, what do you think the Han Xiang Guild will let him do? ”

When he said the three words of Han Xianggong, Pu Zongmeng added an accent, and his words were full of sarcasm.

Zeng Xiaokuan sank his face and said nothing.

In his memory, Wang Sunchen did not know how much he had done to kill good people and make meritorious deeds, if it weren't for the backers of Chong Ge, Wang Shao, and Han Gang, he would have been cut off his head a long time ago, instead of making meritorious service to the crime lightly.

After he led the army to open up the Western Regions, he was even more like a native emperor in the Western Regions. In the perennial confrontation with the Black Khanate, I don't know how many grass valleys were fought in the country, and seventy or eighty percent of the orchids sold into the capital every year came from the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. In the mouths of these orchids, Wang Sunsin is a big demon king who can stop children from crying at night.

The various rumors that came from this made Wang Sunchen's image in the world even more terrifying. If it weren't for Han Gang behind him, he would have been transferred to a remote place in the middle of nowhere, and he would have lived the rest of his life. Fortunately, Han Gang also knew about Wang Sunsin's danger, and even if he sat in the phase, he did not transfer Wang Sunchen back until today.

"Two months to go." Zeng Xiaokuan heard the meaning of the words, but he didn't want to make a decision now.

"The Queen Mother's illness can probably only be delayed for another two months." Pu Zongmeng glanced at Zeng Xiaokuan and said softly, "There are still two months left before the wedding of the Son of Heaven. ”

……………………

"Yukun, why are you so happy to see."

Zhang Dian walked into Han Gang's public hall, but found that the owner of the public hall was patting the armrest of the chair and applauding.

Han Gang couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and Fang Cai couldn't help but applaud.

"Brother Zihou, look at this paper." Han Gang beckoned to Zhangdun and stuffed the paper in his hand into his hand without saying anything.

"Tuberculosis." Zhang Dian glanced up, and found these two keywords, and then thought of Han Gang's excitement, and was suddenly shocked: "Did you create a vaccine for tuberculosis?!" ”

"No, the cause of tuberculosis was discovered."

"It's just the cause." The joy in Zhang's eyes immediately turned into loss.

If tuberculosis, a terminal disease, could be eradicated like smallpox, it would be a great discovery that would remain for generations to come, and I don't know how many people could be saved. It's a pity that only the cause has been discovered at the moment, and I don't know how many years it will take to see a vaccine for tuberculosis.

Han Gang was still excited, "If you find the cause, there is a possibility of cure." Now that tuberculosis bacilli has been discovered, the next step is how to grow the germs and make a vaccine. It is only a matter of time before tuberculosis is completely solved. ”

On Han Gang's face, Zhang Dian found real joy, and his eyes sparkled like a teenager.

According to today's theory, all diseases are caused by viruses. In the case of cowpox, all the scholars who were interested in medical research in the world were trying their best to find the causative agents of various diseases, especially infectious diseases.

Although most of them are useless, some people in the world say that it is bad luck not to find it, and it took Han Xianggong ten years to discover cowpox in Lingnan.

But even in a small number of discoveries, it has also had a huge impact on medicine. On human purulent wounds, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus were first found.

Then, in the essence of people and livestock. In the liquid, another tadpole-like cell was discovered, which, along with another cell found in the female, was considered to be the first step of life, adding to the cell theory.

Zhang Dian still remembers how ecstatic Han Gang was the day after he got this paper. Even openly said in the political hall that he finally understood how life is inherited, and there are facts to prove it, rather than random speculation in ancient books.

Compared to the victory of intrigue in the court, Han Gang is willing to go one step further in understanding the world.

Why don't you like the emperor pressing on your head? It was because of Dong Zhongshu's celestial induction that the emperor was too beautiful. It's obviously a strong soldier who does it, but he just brushes himself with a layer of gold dust. In the future, if the qi science continues to develop, the gold dust will be scraped off, revealing the mud tire wood carving below, how to put the emperor's face? Sooner or later, it will destroy the forbidden gas.

Han Gang analyzed his mind that day, which made Zhang Dian understand Han Gang's goal, and also made Zhang Dian decide to support Han Gang. Because his goals are different from Han Gang's, there is no competition.

Zhang Dian didn't take Han Gang's topic, since he hadn't found a cure for tuberculosis, it wasn't worth his attention.

He sat down and said, "Li Xin has already left." ”

Han Gang nodded, "Let's go this morning." ”

"I don't know how long it will take to get back." Zhang Dan said tentatively.

Han Gang said: "It's best to be late." ”

Han Gang, who is a junior, can't hope that his uncle will return to heaven as soon as possible, and then let Li Xin return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Zhang Dian smiled slightly, and said, "Wang Sunchen will be here in three months." ”

"Two months is enough, and recently he was in Illinois." Han Gang said with a smile.

Zhang Dian nodded, and all of them came according to their agreement, which made him feel more at ease.

Han Gang also smiled and nodded, allies can rest assured, he can also rest assured.

In the past 20 years, Han Gang has never expressed his greed for power, but has persistently preached qi science, preached the knowledge of things, and wanted to become a saint more than being an emperor, which was the main reason why Zhang Gang was more willing to believe in Han Gang.

But the situation of the yellow robe can't be ignored, no amount of trust can be compared to the lively example in the north.

There was no contradiction between the two sides in the distribution after the fact. But there is no contradiction in this, and it can only be achieved if both parties do not violate the original intention. In the event that someone suddenly wants to occupy an extra piece of the development of things, then the contradiction will naturally arise.

Zhang Gang has a huge influence in the court, Han Gang has a deep foundation in the army, and the two sides are evenly matched on weekdays, and they can join hands with each other, but when the army is more needed to support the scene, Han Gang's advantage is a little too great, and if he does not give in three points, even if he agrees to cooperate, he will keep a hand in private. Zhang Dian left a hand, Han Gang had to have reservations accordingly, and in the end, the two sides didn't even use half of their strength, and they were all used to guard against each other, and the situation of winning would also be lost.

The success rate of the yellow robe is very small, it only has mathematical significance, and realistically, it is simply impossible. Han Gang himself knows this, but in order to convince his allies, he can't say that, he has to take some practical action.

Without Li Xin, Han Gang's control of the Shenji Battalion has not diminished and weakened - the Thai semi-middle-level generals in it have all been promoted by Han Gang.

But if Li Xin, Han Gang's cousin, was replaced, and Liu Zhongwu was allowed to take over, at least Zhang Dian would not worry about Han Gang stabbing himself afterwards with the military strength of the Shenji Battalion.

Han Gang transferred Li Xin and Wang Sunsin back, leaving a gap of nearly two months, which made the two sides of the alliance evenly matched. As long as the balance of power between the two sides is maintained for two months, and when the situation calms down, even if Li Xin and Wang Sunsin return together, Han Gang will lose the opportunity to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne.

Han Gang didn't care about this, and he took the initiative to transfer Li Xin.

He can directly control the defenders of the Shenji Battalion and the Ordnance Supervisor, can indirectly control the Jingying Forbidden Army, including the Fourth Army, and can influence more than eighty percent of the troops in Kaifeng Prefecture. Han Gang can calculate this account.

What's more, the two-month blank period is not only a compromise to win the trust of Zhangdun, but also a bait to lure people into the bait. If you want to do something, you must do it before Wang Sunchen arrives in Beijing.

……………………

"The Queen Mother is still sick, and the big wedding in two months may be delayed."

"Ling Yu me, just to be happy, the Son of Heaven will also get married on time."

If it is in the name of Chongxi, it will indeed not be delayed because the Queen Mother is seriously ill, but it may be in advance. This is also a common practice among the people, the more seriously ill the parents, the more they should get married as soon as possible, so as not to keep filial piety for three years and delay the marriage. The Son of Heaven can change the sun and the moon, and the mourning of his parents only has to keep the twenty-seven days of filial piety, but in terms of following customs and habits, it is no different from the common people.

"After the Son of Heaven gets married, what is the use of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven?"

Zeng Xiaokuan's face sank, Pu Zongmeng broke the words, he couldn't go around anymore, "What the hell do you want to say?!" ”

"What else do you want Zong Meng to say, Ling Xuan, you have already guessed it." Pu Zongmeng smiled and let out a mouthful of white teeth, "Why did Han Xianggong keep dragging it out and not give it up sooner?" Obviously, when the Queen Mother first became ill, she could do it once and for all. Why didn't he do it? It's just to wait until the wedding of the Son of Heaven! ”

Zeng Xiaokuan had a calm face, "The Queen Mother has always been very fond of him. ”

Speaking of the Queen Mother's trust in Han Gang, no one in the Manchu Dynasty can compare with the civil and military. How many people are enthusiastic about this, and even in order to slander Han Gang, there are rumors that are secretly spreading, but after all, no one can separate the Queen Mother's trust in Han Gang.

Pu Zongmeng nodded a few cases, "But the queen is Han Xianggong's niece, isn't she closer than the queen mother?" ”

"It's the granddaughter of the husband of the husband!" Zeng Xiaokuan emphasized that there is no need for him to say more about the grievances between Wang Anshi and Han Gang, "The daughter of the Wang family is the queen, between Xinxue and Qixue, who will she support?" ”

Pu Zong Meng Chengzhu was in his chest, and his smile seemed to say, just waiting for your sentence. He approached and said to Zeng Xiaokuan: "Then when the old minister sent his granddaughter to the candidate, why didn't Han Xianggong object......

"Opposed!"

"That's also called opposition? If Han Xianggong is really against it, is there anything that can't be stopped? It's just that he didn't object at all, and he had to cover it up one or two times before he made such a scene. ”

"Don't you know how he values Qixue?"

"What new learning, qi science? Mr. Wang is old, and he has suffered a stroke not long ago, how many years do he have to live? Han Gang wants to overwhelm Xinxue with Qi Xue, just sit and wait, three or five years later, as soon as the old minister Wang is gone, who else in this world can stop Qi from not entering the imperial examination? The queen is young and has no support from Zaifu, what does she do to pressure Han Gang? ”

It is indeed well known that there is no successor to the new school.

Zhang Dian doesn't care about new learning and qi learning at all, as long as it's not the old learning, it doesn't matter. The people in the New Party around him did not gather here because of the new learning.

It is Lu Huiqing who really supports the new learning. In order to prevent Lu Huiqing from entering the court, Zhang Dian will not be merciful to Xinxue.

"Two months later, the Son of Heaven got married, and the Queen Mother was seriously ill, and at that time, it was time for him to be prestigious." Pu Zongmeng whispered softly in Zeng Xiaokuan's ear, "I don't know what kind of rice soup he poured into Zhang Xianggong, and let Zhang Xianggong help him." But once the city is under its control, even if Prime Minister Zhang is the prime minister, he can only bow down to the minister. Presumably, this is not Zhang Xianggong's original intention. ”
