[Second Update, Collection, Red Ticket]

"Wang Jiefu is leaving this time?"

Cheng Hao has always sat upright no matter when and where, no matter whether there is anyone in front of him or not. Mr. Mingdao, who was worshiped by Confucian scholars in later generations, was only in his thirties at this time, and he could learn the temperament of Confucianism, and ordinary people could not have it at the age of fifty or sixty. Although he was chatting with his family, Cheng Hao's shoulders were stretched and his back was straight, even if he stood at the court meeting, no matter how picky the imperial history was, he couldn't find anything wrong.

In comparison, Zhang Jian relaxed a lot, leaning on the back of the chair, he sneered, "It's just to retreat." Because of Han Zhigui, Wang Jiefu was on the list of people who complained about illness and asked the county, but I don't know what the Son of Heaven thinks now. I don't know whether to keep it or put it away. When Zhang Jian said this, he snorted dissatisfiedly, "No matter what, Han Qi's words are always more effective than our imperial historians." ”

Zhang Zai, Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao are cousins and nephews who have a close relationship, and Cheng Hao and Zhang Jian are in the same Yushi Taizhong, which is even closer. Even the houses in Beijing were rented together. There is also a small door in the backyard of the two houses. The three often sat together to discuss the government and discuss the scriptures, and their wives and children also walked back and forth with each other. There was nothing to do in Taichung today, Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao sat together and chatted. Unconsciously, the topic turned to Wang Anshi.

Cheng Hao sighed softly: "If Wang Jiefu could listen to people's words a little, he wouldn't have made such a scene." ”

"It's useless to listen, both losses, green seedlings, farmland and water conservancy, which one does not disturb the people? There is nowhere to change it, but Wang Anshi can listen to the persuasion and abolish the three laws?! Especially the Seedlings Law, the government came forward to lend! Do you want the court to be decent?! If there are natural and man-made disasters, what can be done to save people in an emergency? As soon as he mentioned the Qingmiao loan, Zhang Jian was angry, and the more he talked, the more angry he became. He has always looked down on lenders, and even the loans of monks and monasteries that are common in the world have been approved by him, not to mention that the government personally went into battle.

"Uncle Tianqi, what you said is wrong." Cheng Hao disagreed with Zhang Jian's extremism, "If you talk about saving the people and helping the poor, the Qingmiao loan is not unbeautiful." For example, Li Shenzhi was in Shaanxi and Wang Jiefu was in Yinxian County, and they both saved a lot of people. It's just that now Wang Jiefu has changed his original intention and put profit first, and the original Qingmiao loan that benefited the people has long been unrecognizable. In order to get more interest, the localities were allocated to suppress the green seedling loans, and the rich families who did not need to borrow money also asked him to borrow money, and the dignity of the court was lost to him, so he should be abolished. It's just that if you can make less profit, you can't continue to do it. ”

Zhang Jian was surprised: "Bochun, didn't you say the day before yesterday that Qingmiao Loan should not take interest?" ”

Cheng Hao smiled: "This is just a way to advance two and retreat one." Although it is said that the interest should not be taken, it is impossible for the official to agree to this matter, and it is enough to ask for a little less. Things in the world are like this, and if you ask for ten, you can usually only get three or four. ”

Zhang Jian felt that Cheng Hao had compromised too much, but he knew that his cousin's character was like this, and he did not argue with him about the topic of Qingmiao Loan. Another topic: "Lu Xianke [Lu Xu] said a year before that Wang Jiefu 'is like a traitor like loyalty, and a big man is like a letter', 'Those who mislead the world are also Bisi people, such as living in a temple for a long time, there is no reason to be quiet.'" On the same day, Sima Junshi also said, 'There is no trace, wait for him to be treated', and now looking at it, is Lu Xianke still wrong one by one? I only hated that Lu Xian couldn't expel An Shi from the court earlier, which made the government and the opposition uneasy. ”

Cheng Hao kept his mouth shut and did not agree. Last year, Lu Zhi was appointed as the middle of the imperial history, and attacked Wang Anshi with ten major crimes, not only saying that Wang Anshi was 'a great traitor like loyalty, and a great man was like a letter', but also said that he 'showed simplicity and wildness on the outside, was clever and deceitful in the middle, arrogant and slow, and a thief and harmful'. But Wang Anshi has just been in office for less than half a year, and the law change has just begun, how can he commit so many crimes?

And there is another article in it, which is said to be a small minister Zhang Piguang wrote a letter to persuade Zhao Hao to send his adult brother Zhao Hao, King of Qi, out of the palace, which angered the Empress Dowager Gao and wanted to punish him. Wang Anshi supported Zhang Piguang and opposed the punishment, but Lu Zhi took the opportunity to attack Wang Anshi for being a discordant between the two palaces and being attached to him. Such a statement is a bit too much, and Cheng Hao can't see it. Zhang Biguang persuaded the Son of Heaven to send his adult brother out of the palace, what was wrong? Adult princes are not inhabited in the forbidden place, let alone the prince?

This is what the imperial history usually does, attacking Zai Zhi to Bo Qing's name, even if he loses, he just comes back after serving as an official outside Beijing for a few years, and there is no trouble at all, but he is promoted every time because of this, which one does not want to? Cheng Hao didn't like it: "Lu Xian just ran into it, how many times he impeached Zaizhi, he only ran into it three or two times." The imperial history is right, it should be a matter of matter regardless of people. It is no problem for the imperial court to set up officials and make up for the shortcomings, but it is not reasonable to attack people with words. ”

Zhang Jian retorted: "In this case, why let the imperial history have the right to hear? ”

"Rumors are not lies."

The two of them have argued many times about how to make the imperial history, but each time they have not come up with a result. Cheng Hao seems to be gentle, but he is actually very stubborn. For more than a year, he has always been on the basis of facts, and has never personally attacked his colleagues.

Zhao Ji once asked him why he was the imperial history, and Cheng Hao replied: "It is okay for the ministers to pick up the legacies and make up for the shortcomings, and to praise the court, but not for the ministers to pick up the short and long of the group, but not to sell the name." ’

Zhao Ji liked such a courtier very much, and left him for a deep conversation many times, and even dragged it until after noon a few times, so that the ministers serving Zhao Ji complained that he 'didn't know that the official family had not eaten?' ’

Because Cheng Hao is such a character, although he is a little dissatisfied with the new decree proposed by Wang Anshi, the right and wrong points in the new law will not be denied. Because of this, Zhang Jian, who strongly opposed the new law, was dissatisfied with Cheng Hao's attitude.

But Zhang Jian can't take Cheng Hao, the debate is not an opponent, even if he occasionally has the upper hand, when he sees Cheng Hao's smile that is always peaceful and shallow, there is no sense of victory. Cheng Hao's smile is like a peaceful old gentleman, when he sees a naughty child, the kind of gentle smile mixed with a little helplessness and a little banter naturally reveals it, and it doesn't look like his own age at all.

An old servant of the Zhang family came in at this time and handed over a famous post, "Yu Yushi, there is a petty official outside, who said that he was a disciple of the school book, and he came to worship the school book when he entered Beijing this time." ”

"Big brother's disciple?" Zhang Jian stretched out his hand to take the name post.

Cheng Hao glanced at the cover: "Disciple Han Gang? Which one is under Uncle Zihou's cousin? ”

"Han Gang?" Zhang Jian read the name, "It seems that there is this person." He is not very old, but he is quite tall. The table word is called Yukun, and the jade is out of Kungang. The family background is quite ordinary, but he works harder than anyone else. ”

The name Han Gang is really familiar to him, and he has some vague memories. He has seen almost all of Zhang Zai's disciples. The last time I returned to my hometown, although the Lu family brothers left two and You Shixiong was also admitted to the Jinshi, the other disciples had all taken pictures. Although Han Gang was not conspicuous at the time, he had seen him many times and could always leave some impressions.

"Invite him in." Zhang Jian said to the old servant.

"I don't know if it's to take the exam, or to study in Beijing?" Cheng Hao asked casually.

"The exam should have come last year, if it was said to be a ...... to study in Beijing" Zhang Jian thought for a while, then shook his head, "The Guozi Prison will not be in front of the Ministry of Rites exam." ”

Soon, the old servant led the two people around the wall in front of the courtroom. Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao stood up and greeted each other in the hall.

"Mr. Tianqi, Mr. Bochun." Han Gang bowed down in front of Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao, "Han Gang, who is a late student at the end of school, meet the two gentlemen." ”

Cheng Hao, Zhang Jian, and Han Gang are not the first time they have met, and they even have the memory of listening to their lectures. It's just that at that time, his predecessor was among Zhang Zai's disciples, and he was inconspicuous, and he didn't expect them to recognize him.

Cheng Hao's temperament is pure, he talks gently, is a humble gentleman, and is as gentle as jade, which is the best portrayal of him. is always calm and indifferent, no matter how much you argue, you don't see its anger and impatience. Talking to him, I suddenly felt like a spring breeze. A generation of science masters, poetry and books mellow temperament, it should be so, but it is better than his younger brother who is always a coffin face. And Zhang Jian's eyes were much more convenient. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant in his twenties, and he was proud of his youth. And because of Zhang Zai, he is very respected in Kansai. Now that I've done the imperial history, I have a bit of a sharp personality.

Here, Cheng Hao and Zhang Jian looked at Han Gang, and also felt that this young man behaved freely, described well, lacked nothing in etiquette, and did not have a little family spirit, which was indeed the demeanor of Zhang Zai's disciples.

After a little cold and warm talk, the three of them sat down, and when they saw that Han Gang wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Jian, who was bright in his heart, smiled and said: "Yukun, you arrived unfortunately, the eldest brother was sent to Mingzhou to investigate the case a few days ago, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”

"That's a coincidence!" The disappointment on Han Gang's face was not feigned, and he owed it again: "But it's worth the trip to meet the two gentlemen." ”

Zhang Jian asked, "Remember that Yukun should be from Qinzhou, right?" I don't know what I'm doing when I enter Beijing this time? ”

"The student has just been recommended by Qin Feng to take charge of official business, and this time he entered Beijing to hand over his family report."

"Official?!" Zhang Jian's look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Han Gang's overly young face, "Yukun, you're only twenty, right?" ”

"The student is just over nineteen."

"Nineteen is an official...... Doing business, this is even a dispatch! "Zhang Jian's surprise could no longer be concealed, and the common sense of the supervising imperial history told him that the appointment that Han Gang had received was not legitimate. True or fake? He couldn't help but be suspicious.

Cheng Hao kept groaning, and then suddenly asked: "I heard the day before yesterday that Qin Fengjiyi, Wang Shao, Xiongwu Jie, Wu Yan, and the capital eunuch Zhang Shouyue recommended one person together, and because of the lack of age, the official family personally issued a special order......

Han Gang nodded: "It's the student." ”

Hearing Cheng Hao's reminder, Zhang Jian also remembered. If you compare the news to your ears and eyes, Yushitai is in the front of the court divisions. Even if it is a military intelligence report, the supervision of the imperial history is qualified to inquire and interrogate. The official family issued a special order to send someone from Jiupin, which is also a small news in the Yushi Taizhong, "It turns out to be Yukun you......"
