The revision of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", which had been compiled for only 30 years, was an ambush laid by Han Gang in advance for the future revision of the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Since Han Gang intends to expand the "Compendium of Materia Medica" into a natural encyclopedia, it is destined to be unfulfilled.

But the son of the editor-in-chief Zeng Gongliang was in the Xifu back then, and for the sake of harmony between the two provinces, Han Gang did not intend to leave a mustard in Zeng Xiaokuan's heart.

Now, since the introduction of Han Gang's original five-year state policy, the governance has a slightly more specific goal. The government will be able to coordinate policies accordingly. The two governments are working together to achieve the common goal of enhancing national strength. In the past few years, although there have been occasional turmoil in the imperial court, it is still mostly peaceful and stable. are about to catch up with the early stage of Renzong, that peaceful and troublesome days.

Today's harmonious situation is commendable, and Han Gang has no plans to engage in any more political struggles. And there are two more days to push the court, the position of the two provinces everyone wants, in order to reaffirm the tacit understanding with Zhang Dian and Zeng Xiaokuan, Han Gang inevitably has to spend more means. With his past style of doing things, and today's discussions, I believe that Zhang Dian and Zeng Xiaokuan will not doubt his sincerity.

Moreover, the armament and the two prisons are inextricably linked to the Privy Council, and they are inseparable from big and small things. There are 3,000 soldiers under the command, and the number of soldiers under the ordnance superintendent is even greater. Although Han Gang has absolute influence among the two eunuchs, whenever there is a big move, he will also prophetically meet Xifu. In front of Zhang Dian and Zeng Xiaokuan, he ordered Zhao Ziji and Wang Juqing, also to avoid the two of them from having trouble.

After Han Gang's words, although the expressions on the faces of the two privy envoys did not change much, they could already feel that the atmosphere was much better than when they came in.

Whether it is friendship or trust, interpersonal relationships should be maintained with heart, and if you are negligent, it is very likely that at some point, there will be unexpected chaos.

In the market, there is a joke about the virtuous minister holding the golden gourd bone to beat the king unconscious and beating the traitorous minister. But as a country's Zaifu, it is actually very humiliating to take up arms and go into battle shirtless. It has been a long time since that palace change, and Han Gang has often been reflecting on it over the years, if he could communicate more with Cai Qu and Xue Xiang at the beginning, maybe the chaos could be eliminated invisibly.

"Yukun, did you receive the message from Kumamoto this morning?" Zhang Dian took a sip of cold soup and asked Han Gang.

"Roger. Roche's forces don't look weak. Han Gang nodded and said.

A few days ago, it was the good news of the first battle of Shimen Pass, and then the battle reports for several days were all saying that the official army was advancing on the five-foot road, but this morning's military intelligence was saying that Shui Ximan, as the vanguard of the whole army, had reached the border of Dali, fought with the army of Dali, and then it was a great victory.

"Huang Shang's hands are too soft in Kuizhou." Zhang Dan said.

Han Gang smiled bitterly: "No way, they surrendered too quickly." ”

The Luo clan ghost kingdom in Suixi has been rebellious in the past, but since the imperial court set the strategy of pacifying the southwest, starting from Kumamoto, it has been suppressing the southwest for more than ten years. After Huang Sheng went to the southwest, he was more ruthless, and the means of razing and destroying were becoming more and more sophisticated, and before the Privy Council decided to eliminate the Luo Ghost Kingdom, they descended in one step, and the proton was also sent, and the patriarch also went to Beijing in person to meet him, so it was not easy to be ruthless.

Zhang Dian said: "I just hope that Dali can consume a little more." ”

Relying on the two Zaifu who were born in battle, one is more black-hearted than the other. Although there are disagreements between political opinions and factions, the external stance is still the same, and it is better to die more if it is not my race.

Zeng Xiaokuan said: "Kumamoto is very smooth here, and if there are two larger battles, most of them will be able to take Dali City." Li Xin and Li Xian hope that it will go smoothly. If before the end of the year, one side occupies the Erhai Lake, and the other side occupies the Dianchi Lake, that is the best. ”

"It's almost August, the weather is getting cooler, and there are fewer diseases. After the official army invaded the territory of Dali, it was exactly autumn. Not only do you not have to worry about food, but even the climate is the most suitable for marching and fighting. In two or three months, it may be time for the two thieves of the Gao family to be beheaded. ”

Han Gang said: "I'm afraid they are too anxious." ”

Guangxi's partial division, led by Li Xian, led by Li Xin. The two of them brought a team of Shenji battalions and six new light guns, and after passing Fangcheng Mountain, they went down the river. Back then, both of them participated in the battle of the Southern Expedition, and now they are in command of the Guangxi Xidong barbarians, as well as a local forbidden army, and there is a command of the Shenji Battalion to cooperate, not to mention that it is not surprising to contain the Dali army and directly capture the Shanyan Mansion of the Gao family's old nest and drink the Ma Dianchi Lake.

But in the case of war, there is never a 100% chance of victory. A rabbit can kick an eagle when he's in a hurry, let alone a human?

The advantage of multi-way marching is that if you are crowded on one road, the number of troops will be limited by the transportation capacity; However, if they set out in several ways, they would not be able to set up a command center to control the whole army because of the distance gap; But if you let all roads go their own way and advance together, it is possible that because of the competition for merit with each other, you will eventually cause the fiasco in the early stage of the summer war.

"Su Ziyuan has been in Yongzhou for many years, and he is in charge of the grain affairs, Yukun, do you still need to worry? Moreover, Li Xin and Li Xian are both old battles, and the lessons from the past will not be clear. Zhang Dun smiled and said: "Yukun, before they set off, there should be no less ear to mention the face." ”

After a little discussion about the war in the southwest, Zhang Dian and Zeng Xiaokuan took their leave and left.

After sending Zhang Dian and Zeng Xiaokuan out, Han Gang was about to deal with the business in hand, and the Queen Mother sent someone to invite him.

Han Gang looked at the official documents piled on the table, rubbed his forehead, and then went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

When I arrived at the small hall at the inner east gate, I happened to see Shen Kuo coming out of the hall.

Seeing Han Gang, Shen Kuo was startled at first, and then knew that he was saluting.

Shen Boyi, Shen Qingzhi, Shen Kuo's two sons, one is a Jinshi in Shangshe and Di, and the other is a Jinshi in the last subject examination after studying in Hengqu Academy for many years, ranking in the top three. Now both of them are officials outside, Shen Qingzhi, who has just been admitted to the rank of sergeant, is still a county lieutenant, and Shen Boyi is already a county magistrate in Wucheng.

Before Han Gang helped, Shen Kuo's two sons kicked out of the house for his family's fierce wife. Shen Kuo's wife's mother's strength is too weak, otherwise she can help Shen Boyi and Shen Qingzhi support her. It's a pity that none of them can compete with Zhang Shu.

Now the two sons are under the protection of Han Gang, and they have been awarded the Jinshi, and Han Gang's kindness to Shen Kuo can be described as two generations of grace, and he is becoming more and more humble in front of Han Gang.

After seeing a lot, Han Gang immediately found that something was wrong with Shen Kuo, his mind did not belong, and he lost his soul.

Han Gang frowned, as Tingtui approached day by day, Shen Kuo became more and more nervous, and his expression of gain and loss could not even be hidden. But no matter what, it can't be done outside, and a calm two-word comment is indispensable for Zaizhi.

"What happened?" Han Gang asked.

"It's not a big deal, just a few bullets."

Shen Kuo pretended to be relaxed, but his smile was ugly.

"It's those again, it's been a few times, it's time to get used to it. Rest assured, rest assured. Han Gang smiled and comforted him.

In the past two years, although Shen Kuo has the prospect of being promoted to the two governments, he has become more and more honest and honest, and he has done his best. Whether it is the imperial history or the local supervisor, they want to find trouble in his account books, but they are in vain. But as long as you are an official in the court, there is no time when you can't make mistakes.

If you want to add sin, why should you do it? Li Nangong echoed the new party and did not marry a private family matter such as a sister of the same birth, so he was beaten by the old party Yushi - although this matter is indeed quite serious today - the imperial history could not find Li Nangong to be corrupt and pervert the law, so he deliberately turned over the old bottom of his family. Shen Kuo has a bigger problem than Li Nangong, one is that the things that have not been disciplined in the past have been done too muddy, and the old accounts have been turned over again and again, and the other is that there is no way to govern the family, and even the family is not even, how to govern the country and the world?

Every time Shen Kuo wanted to enter the two mansions, he would be smashed on the head by a bunch of bullet stamps, and this time, his hope of promotion increased greatly, and the artillery fire on his head became more intense.

Shen Kuo smiled bitterly even more. Han Gang wanted him to rest assured, but how could he rest assured.

Han Gang also persuaded him before, saying that 'not attracting envy is mediocrity, since you are valued by the Queen Mother, you can't help but talk about it.'" The imperial court set up a royal history, which is also urging people to be diligent. The transgressions discussed in the chapter are corrected if there are any, and encouraged if there is none, so there is no need to worry. But if only it were that simple.

Han Gang was only consoling, since it was Shen Kuo himself, of course he was responsible for these things.

The Queen Mother was waiting in the hall, and in a hurry, Han Gang said goodbye to Shen Kuo and came to the front of the palace.

After the transmission, he was recruited into the hall, and just in time to see a vermilion back disappearing into the back door.

The regular clothes of the Son of Heaven are vermilion, and Han Gang, who is thin and thin, will not be mistaken.

Zhilu said that Han Gang saw the little emperor, and when Han Gang sat down, he explained to the Queen Mother, "The official family is a little tired, let him go back to rest first." ”

Although the Queen Mother said so, she didn't know whether Zhao Xu took the initiative to leave, or was invited out by the Queen Mother. The little emperor is getting older and older, and he has been smart since he was a child, but due to an accident, his personality is inevitably distorted over the years. But Han Gang didn't care too much, the little emperor wanted to be in power very early, and the queen mother's body was also very healthy.

"When Xianggong came in, did he see Shen Kuo?" Xiang asked the Queen Mother.

"Yes, I saw it."

"From the perspective of Xianggong, Shen Kuo is really suitable for entering the two mansions? The hundreds of letters of impeachment I have received in the past few days are all about saying that he is not. If it was to reward Shen Kuo for his work in repairing the railway tracks, there was no need to give him a cool umbrella, and the court would not be stingy with gold and silver. ”

"Your Majesty. The merit is easy to reward, even if it is not rewarded, Shen Kuo does not dare to complain. However, in the future, Shen Kuo will be in charge of the affairs of the railway tracks, and if he does not have sufficient authority, it will be difficult for him to cooperate with the moving places. ”

But it is also said that he can't govern the family, and he can't rule the family by his sons. Shen Zhang didn't look jealous either. If Shen Kuo is respected as a Zaifu in the future, he will be humiliated at home, wouldn't it be a shame for the court? ”

"Fang Xuanling also has a fierce wife, but Tang Taizong used it as a phase, although he has the rule of Zhenguan. Although Shen Kuo has a loss of personal morality and a quiet family, he is enough to govern the country. Han Gang got up, "Shen Kuo's talent is rare, and the minister is willing to make the best use of his talents." ”
