Chapter 42: Continuing the Old Questions with Yao Shun (Part II)

On the third watch, Su Song said goodbye and returned home from Han's house, and Han Gang sent him out with a smile.

Standing in front of the door and watching Su Song's carriage and horse disappear into the street, Han Gang returned home.

"Official?" Wang Yi came out wearing a thin gown, "Su Pingzhang is gone?" ”

"Gone." Han Gang nodded, and asked again, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I didn't sleep." Wang Yi sighed, "Where can I sleep?" ”

"Don't worry, what else can Su Zirong think? It's just not at ease. After handing over to him, I will be at ease. ”

"Nothing will happen in the future, will it?" Wang Yi is still worried.

"Worries you." Han Gang hugged his wife's thin shoulders and sighed, "It's my husband's fault, as the prime minister, I couldn't settle the court well." ”

"It's not the official's fault, it's the Son of Heaven who is too small-minded."

What Han Gang wanted to do, even if he didn't tell them explicitly, Wang Yi could guess a little bit from the clues. She didn't persuade her to ruin her family at every turn.

Originally, Wang Yi always thought that her husband was confident and did his best to help the Queen Mother and suppress the Son of Heaven, because he saw through the emperor's eternal life, and he didn't expect that the Queen Mother would fall before the emperor.

Any emperor will not tolerate the charge of killing his father on his head after taking power, once Zhao Xu is in power, Xiang Jia will fall, and Han Gang, who testified against Zhao Xu, will also fall, and when the time comes, the crime will be added to himself, even if he is the prime minister, it will inevitably end up destroying the family.

Compared with the notoriety of rebellion, Wang Yi hopes that his family can be safe and stable. According to the current situation, just for the safety of the whole family, she also hopes that Han Gang can fight hard.

Returning to the main courtyard with Han Gang, Wang Yi asked, "Su Pingzhang has already promised to support the officials?" ”

"You also know Su Zirong's character. Since it should be done, there will be no more accidents. What's more, how could he give up his years of hard work on Gewu? ”

After tonight's earnest conversation, Han Gang's plan was approved by Su Song, and then it can be implemented step by step.

From beginning to end, Han Gang was never worried that Su Song would be on the side of the Son of Heaven.

can visit the door with great fanfare, which side Su Song will stand on, in fact, I don't know.

Zhao Xu's appearance is not at all an emperor who can inspire the loyalty of his courtiers, and he has not made any moves to reassure his subjects over the years.

Su Song, who has more sense of responsibility than ordinary courtiers, does not want to see the good situation that he has worked so hard to get lost.

More importantly, in the process of presiding over the journal "Nature", he has become the mainstay of the Qi Science Gewu School, and is known in the world along with Han Gang.

If Han Gang falls, Qi Science will inevitably not be spared, and all research related to Gewu will become a forbidden thing that everyone avoids.

Therefore, compared to Zhang Tun, Han Gang was less worried about Su Song's tendencies, unless he wanted all his hard work to turn into dust, he could only stand on Han Gang's side.

But Su Song needs Han Gang to explain further, what the hell, at his age, he attaches more and more importance to the reputation left in the history.

Judging from Su Song's reaction when he left, he should be relatively satisfied.

It is the scholars who write the history, and they are the winners, as long as they are guaranteed to become the winners and win over the scholars, there is nothing to worry about about this reputation problem.

"With Su Zirong's full help, and Zhang Zihou joining forces, this game, the husband has won most of the game."

Han Gang gently stroked his wife's back. The warmth from the generous palm made Wang Yi feel more at ease.

Han Gang raised his head, his eyes flickering. He concealed a lot and didn't say it, how could this kind of severed head business be successful with only three people, he still had a lot of preparations, but at the moment, there was no need to scare his wife and children.

……………………

Zhang Dian guarded the door of Zhongshu tonight.

He did not hide in the room to avoid the cold, but let people move tables and chairs to the courtyard, and leaned lazily on the chaise longue.

The stoves on both sides were blazing, and a thick cotton robe was draped on his body, and when the spring cold came to him, it immediately turned into a spring breeze, and he didn't see the cold at all.

The cotton robe on Zhang's body had a placket like a placket, with two narrow sleeves and thick cotton stuffed inside. From the placket to the collar, a thick circle of fox skin, no air leakage on the neck, and two oblique pockets on both sides, narrow sleeves are not convenient for hand-cages, and you can have pockets. There is a button on the placket, and when you put it on, you wrap your whole body, leaving only half of your calf uncovered.

This is a winter dress that is trending in Kansai today. There is also a special hood like a cloak that wraps the ears, mouth and nose.

This year, it was spread to Jingshi, and many of the official eunuchs had a set cut, and Zhang Dan's family also made one for him. Although it looks a little bloated, it is much warmer than the winter clothes of the past.

On both sides were the stoves that were blazing, and the wine was still hot on the stove, and Zhang Dian was sipping the hot wine while flipping through the music, as if he were on vacation.

The officials on duty in the middle book were convinced by Zhang Dan's calm and unfazed composure, but Zhang Dian himself knew his own business, no matter what others thought, he still had fifteen buckets in his heart now, seven up and eight down.

Even when he led the army outside, he was not so uneasy in the face of the enemy's thousands of troops.

Zhang Dian poured down a glass of hot wine fiercely, forcibly suppressing the impetuousness and restlessness in his heart.

Suddenly, I remembered a sentence in Han Gang's book, 'The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are', this sentence that appeared in "Nine Domains" now seems to be really a wise saying.

I really don't know how Han Gang could sit here with peace of mind last night.

Zhang Dian had heard that Han Gang had even taken a nap in the house for a while. If so, such audacity is truly awesome and admirable.

However, Zhang Dian felt that Han Gang was still like himself most of the time last night, looking calm and calm on the outside, and he didn't know how to beat the drum on his psychological side.

As soon as he approved the recommendation of a talent, a hall official quietly walked over, he was a close confidant arranged by Zhang Dian under the Zhongshu Sect, came to Zhang Den's side, and whispered in Zhang Den's ear, "Xianggong, there is news coming in from outside." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhangtun put down the piece in his hand, but still sat lazily on the chaise longue.

"It's news from Su Pingzhang and Han Xianggong." The man's voice was lowered a little, "I just got to report it, saying that it was the second watch, Su Pingzhang went to Han Xianggong's mansion, and when he came to report the news, Su Pingzhang had not yet come out of Han Xianggong's mansion." ”

Zhang Dian didn't react at all, not even his face changed, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

"Xianggong ......," the hall official cautiously reminded Zhang Dian.

Zhang Dian reacted a little, poured himself a glass of wine, and his eyes skimmed, "Is it Su Zirong who went to Han Yukun's mansion, isn't it Han Yukun who visited Su Zirong's mansion?" ”

"It was Su Pingzhang who went to visit Han Xianggong." The hall official said in a low voice, "The villain also felt that it was wrong, so he deliberately asked more." ”

"Okay, I see, well done." Zhang Dan's face did not move, and he was even more lazy, and he only waved his hand lightly and let people go down.

When he was the only one left in the courtyard, the indifferent expression on Zhang Dan's face was immediately replaced by excitement, and he poured a glass of wine into his mouth fiercely, choked on it, coughed violently, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.

This is great news!

Su Song went to Han Gang's mansion at night, and he went there with great fanfare. This means that Su Song is clearly on Han Gang's side.

It was impossible for Su Song not to understand what Han Gang and himself wanted to do, but he still chose to support rather than oppose.

The three prime ministers have clearly unified their positions so far, and at this moment, there must be many people in the court who can't sleep at night.

This is still the beginning, and there is already the cooperation of the three prime ministers. Next, the forces on Han Gang's side, plus the forces on his side, can at least make all the rulers in the two mansions not come forward to oppose it.

And the vast majority of important ministers will not jump out to oppose even if they cannot participate in the grand event.

Although their positions are not precarious, many of them will change their positions as the situation changes. But Zhang Dian was not worried now, because no matter what the Son of Heaven wanted to do, it would not be as good as the preparation he and Han Gang had prepared for many years.

Zhang Dian proudly played with the wine glass, holding the warm black porcelain, reflecting the moonlight in the sky.

is just a little yellow-mouthed child, has no kindness to his courtiers, he doesn't even have a person in his hands, he only has the title of emperor, what can he do, and what kind of waves can he afford?

Everything was difficult at the beginning, but now it is a good start.

After a moment of pride, Zhang Dian restrained the excitement in his heart, and now was not the time to get carried away. It would be a shame to let the officials on duty see it.

Putting down the wine glass, and as soon as he picked up another piece of music, the official of the hall who was close to him quietly walked over again, "Xianggong, the palace sent someone here, saying that he wanted to see Xianggong." ”

Zhang Dian sat up straight all of a sudden, and said in a solemn voice, "Let him in." ”

The one who came to report was a fresh-faced chamberlain, a little old, but the clothes on his body were still not in the stream.

When he came to Zhang Dan, he saluted with a glance and did not save at all.

Zhang Dian frowned and looked at him, and heard him say, "Xianggong, the Queen Mother is awake." ”

"The Queen Mother woke up?" Zhang Dian repeated slowly, and the tone at the end of the sentence was raised with questions.

The Queen Mother woke up once before, drank the medicine and fell asleep, and now that she is awake, is there any difference from before?

While speaking, Zhang Duan did not show the slightest respect to the angel who brought the emperor's dictation, and did not even get up, but sat down and asked.

But the chamberlain turned a blind eye completely, bowed his head and said, "The queen mother is awake, and she can also give orders, and she has said a few words to the officials." The official family knew that the ministers were worried about the queen mother, so they asked the villain to inform the ministers that they could come in and inquire. ”

Is this to recruit the prime minister into the palace at night?

Huangkou child is so bold?

Why doesn't it look like Taizong's descendants at all?

The thoughts in Zhang Dan's heart were as fast as lightning, and he didn't forget to look at the waiter in front of him a few more times.

It can be seen from the clothes that this is an old but unambitious eunuch. Zhang Dian shouldn't have seen him before, and he didn't have the slightest impression of him, he was a newcomer just promoted by Zhao Xu.

has been in the palace for many years, but there is no chance to advance, it must be how many years of resentment has been accumulated, and he was suddenly promoted by the Son of Heaven, and this loyalty must be cast on the Son of Heaven. Such a person will naturally look forward to Zhao Xu being able to pro-government as soon as possible and get rid of the disobedient prime ministers, so that he can soar and raise his eyebrows.

Zhang Duan didn't have to think about it, he saw the thoughts of Zhao Xu and this servant thoroughly.

The child is becoming more and more popular, and Zhang Dian can't help but smack his mouth lightly, this mental skill does not need to be taught, and he understands it.

The chamberlain probably heard a little voice, glanced at Zhang Dian quickly, and then continued to bow his head and hang his hands, waiting for Zhang Tun's command.

Zhang Dian understood that he was waiting for his next step, wondering whether he would enter the Great Inner or not.

Go in, why not go in?

Zhang Dian sat up straighter, and there was an unpredictable smile on his face.

What is there to be afraid of, does Zhao Xu have the courage to kill all the prime ministers in the palace?

In doing so, he won't want to sit in a secure position. The clans, who had been eyeing him for a long time, were about to contact the courtiers and oust him from power.

Zhang Dian asked abruptly, "Someone went outside to report?" ”

The chamberlain replied respectfully: "The official family has ordered someone to go out to inform several ministers and the ruling party." ”

Zhang Dian nodded and said, "Someone." ”

A few came over, all of them were cronies brought into the door of Zhongshu by Zhang Dan.

"Quickly go to Su Pingzhang and Han Xianggong's mansion, and say that the Queen Mother is awake. There are also Zhang Shumi, Xiong Shenzheng, Zeng Shumi, and several others, who must also be informed. ”

The waiter's face changed a little in an instant when he heard Zhang Dan's order, but he didn't ask a word. For Zhang Dan's obviously-for-tat approach, it is the right to not hear or see it.

Zhang Dian glanced at him, "You shouldn't know yet, today the government hall and the Privy Council jointly issued a prohibition, if there is no warrant on duty, no one is allowed to enter and leave the imperial city after nightfall. Those who dare to resist will be killed. ”

Zhang Dan's tone was indifferent, but there was obviously a strong murderous intent in it. The waiter's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't dare to be inferior.

If the prime minister doesn't give face to any of the servants, then he really won't have any face left. Especially the prime minister who has led a large army like Zhang Dun, who is notoriously ruthless, and he will not blink an eye when he kills.

Several cronies responded in succession, and when Zhang Dian signed the warrant, they hurriedly left together.

Zhang Dian didn't say anything more, only ordered, "Wait a while, wait for me to change my clothes." And he got up and went in.

With the news he sent, presumably Su Song and Han Gang would know what to do.
