"Official, is this considered self-defilement?"

After eating, Han Gang's family sat together and talked about daily gossip according to the convention.

Feng Congyi had already gone out of the city, and went to call friends according to Han Gang's instructions. In the inner hall of daily living, only the family members are together.

Hearing Wang Yi's question, Zhou Nan, Su Xin and Yun Niang, who were doing needlework, stopped their hands and looked up at Han Gang. The master of the family suddenly said that he should not be the prime minister, and it is impossible for a wife and concubine not to care.

Han Gang thought for a moment and nodded, "Sort of, the Son of Heaven really doesn't have to worry about it in the future, and I don't have to worry about someone being able to use this reason to get along with me." ”

Wang Jian asked Tian Wenshe before leading the army to go out, which is self-defilement. Guo Kui, who is closer, is known for being greedy for money, compared to Di Qing, who is honest and self-controlled, but it is much more reassuring.

This is a military general, and Wenchen is self-defiled, and there are also examples of Xiao He.

The Bu rebellion, Han Gaozu led the army to conquer abroad, and Xiao He stayed in Chang'an. Liu Bang sent envoys back to Beijing many times to inquire about Xiao He's current situation, and they all reported back, 'For the sake of the army, to comfort the people, all the auxiliary troops, such as Chen Xuan. Xiao He was so conscientious, but Liu Bang sent people to ask back again and again, and finally a staff member broke the reason: 'The so-called number of questions about the king, fear of the king to pour Guanzhong', and said that Xiao He 'the king will not be long after the destruction of the clan'.

As soon as Xiao He heard this, he immediately changed his policy of doing things, and according to the advice of his staff, he invaded people's land in many ways to defile himself. So much so that after Liu Bang returned to Beijing, thousands of people handed over an appeal petition to accuse Xiao He of his crimes. But Liu Bang's reaction to this was 'Shangnai Dayue'.

The reason why the courtiers want to defile themselves is to relieve the king's doubts. The greater the power and prestige of the courtier, the more he will attract the suspicion of the king, and he is afraid that he will not be able to control the courtier in the long run.

Han Gang's fame, merits, ability, and age have long aroused the emperor's suspicion, but he has always managed to make himself irreplaceable, and firmly grasped Zhao Ji's weakness and let himself stay in the capital, but even so, it is still difficult to obtain a status that matches the merit. Now for various reasons, in and out of Xifu, Empress Taishang trusts her again, but when the Son of Heaven is in power in the future, it is inevitable that the old words will be repeated. Will never continue to reuse Han Gang.

And today's gambling contract made by Han Gang is tantamount to handing over a deliberately created handle, if Han Gang should not make a gambling contract in the future, and his reputation will be ruined, there is nothing to worry about.

If you look at it from this point of view, there are indeed some similarities.

But this is not Han Gang's original intention, it can only be regarded as a collateral effect.

He wants to rely on murderous actions to deter a group of small people, and he never wants to use 'self-defilement' to block the opponent's attacks, which is completely out of line with his character. But it's not bad to make people think like this, it's better to pollute yourself like this than to splash yourself with dirty water.

If Han Gang wants to promote his learning, he must have a good reputation, not only among the people, but also in Shilin and officialdom, and it is not enough to rely on the pox method alone.

Han Gang's past performance, which can save current affairs and not be in a good position, can be regarded as a good reputation, and if you want to defile yourself in maintaining this reputation, it is extremely difficult. Now I made a bet with Cai Jing, but it was all solved.

It's just that I didn't expect that I was as close as Wang Yi, but I still thought that I was self-defiled.

In the eyes of different people, the views on Han Gang's gambling contract are different. The more he knew about Han Gang, the more he wouldn't think that he was betting with Cai Jing because of a momentary anger. And from the general point of view, apart from self-defilement, there are not many possibilities.

Han Gang thought about it, and felt that it might be that he was too kind at home, and he was pampered by his children, but he knew that he was acting in the court, and he didn't have that personal experience.

Sometimes, family members don't know themselves as well as rivals and colleagues. Han Gang can be sure that at least neither Cai Qu nor Zhang Dian will think so. Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang would not think that he Han Gang would be a person who was willing to compromise and seek perfection.

Just hearing Han Gang admit it like this, Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's okay for officials to be like this, worry about it every day, and at the end of the day, you have to be suspicious of the officials, why bother." When my father was the prime minister, my mother sighed every day, saying that there was something good to do for this official, and she was scolded every time. The most comfortable is when he is an official in Jinling. ”

"My sister is right. Now officials can often go home on time, which is much better than when they were busy in the past. ”

"If an official becomes a prime minister, he has to manage politics and study, and he doesn't even have time to breathe. It's best for officials to be like this now, and there's no need to work so hard. ”

"Well, the third brother has been in Hedong for so long before, it's time to rest."

The wives and concubines came over one by one to comfort Han Gang, it was rare that her husband was a little uncomfortable outside, of course, she had to comfort her.

Surrounded by warm fragrant nephrite, Han Gang suddenly felt that this feeling was actually not bad.

I wanted to enjoy the night early, but a maid suddenly came over with a short note and handed it to Han Gang, "Xuanhui." This was just sent from Zhang's Privy Council, and Steward Han asked the slave maid to send this letter in. He also said that people were waiting in the outer courtyard, waiting for Xuanhui's reply. ”

"Zhang Zihou sent it?"

Han Gang frowned and looked at the front and back of the letter, had to get up, talked to his wives and concubines, and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

With the light in the study, Han Gang opened Zhang Dian's handwritten text message, glanced at it twice, and read it. The promotion wrote a reply and said to the Zhang family's cronies: "Go and reply to the privy council, just say that Han Gang has no objection and admits it." ”

One said that the latest military situation was that the king of Goryeo had fallen, and the king and his family had fallen into the hands of the Liao, and the situation in Goryeo was changing to the worst. Looking at the time written on Zhangdun's letterhead, this happened twenty days ago, and after the loss of the royal capital, the current situation will only get worse. Yang Congxian and Jin Yi went to Goryeo this time, and the risks they had to take also rose sharply.

However, Zhang Dian also expressed his opinion, and Han Gang did not feel that he should object. It was also expected, albeit the worst-case scenario, that could not be used to change the predetermined plan because of this change. The Great Song Dynasty needed Goryeo to contain the Liao State, and also needed a brave military general to lead the sailor, whether Yang Congxian could stand out in the end depends on his performance this time.

And another thing that Zhang Dian said in the text message was a little more subtle, saying that he was a new candidate for the post of Privy Council.

The Privy Council is the head of the Privy Council, and is in charge of undertaking and proclaiming confidential orders, and is responsible for the affairs of the Privy Council. The emperor's palace or foreign envoys go to the palace, and they must stand beside them. Reviewing and testing the skills of the Praetorian Guards, he was also responsible for reporting and undertaking orders by the emperor's side. At the same time, it has the power of personnel, and the chief officer in the Privy Council, their evaluation, promotion and dismissal are all within the scope of the Privy Council's authority.

In addition, shepherds are generally appointed by the Privy Council. When Han Gang was serving as the same group of pastors in the Group Pastoral Division, Han Jin, who was also the group of herding envoys, was sitting in the position of the Privy Council.

This position can be said to be a high authority, and the opposite position in the political hall is the official work of the fifth room inspection of the middle book.

Two positions, one east and one west, are in charge of the internal and external affairs of the two governments and low-level personnel. Needless to say, its importance is that it is only qualified to serve officials above the system.

This is also one of the few important passes on the road to the slaughter. When you take up this position, the road ahead will suddenly open up, or even open all the way. Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion, Yushi Zhongcheng, Hanlin Bachelor, and Three Envoys are all similar positions.

However, there have been some exceptions in recent years for the Privy Council to make such a decision. Zhao Ji likes to appoint cronies, and he once used Li Ping, who belonged to the national relative, as the capital of the government, which is the first time that the military attache has received this position since Zhenzong changed the Chengzhi to the Du Chengzhi. After Li Ping, he reverted to Wenchen. But in the third year of Yuanfeng, Zhao Ji once again promoted Zhang Chengyi, a military attache from the horizontal class, to be the capital of the will, and this appointment has continued to this day.

In the past, because of the war against Liao, the Privy Council needed to maintain stability, so Zhang Chengyi's position was not moved, but now he can free his hands, they are all privy envoys of civil officials, and none of them wants to see a martial artist occupy such an important position.

There are so many good positions in the court, one more martial artist occupies one, and one less civil official, so can it work? It was not the strong Zhao Ji who happened to be sitting in the hall, but just a woman and a child.

Zhang Dian mentioned this matter abruptly, and his intention was not clear, but Han Gang tacitly understood it. He helped solve Zhang's big trouble, and Zhangdun naturally wanted to give it back.

However, taking this position out as a return, Han Gang had a bit of a headache.

Shen Kuo estimated that it was impossible. Although militarily, he was very insightful. But Zhang Dian never waited to see Shen Kuo, and when he mentioned his name, he would only give himself a bitter face. Shen Kuo's qualifications are sufficient, and it is not surprising that he has been promoted to Xifu now, and it is also a little aggrieved to use him as the Privy Council.

Moreover, Zhang Dian also mentioned Western affairs in his letter. More or less already indicated his attitude.

This wants to use the power to send Ganliang Road through the slight envoy You Shixiong.

But You Shixiong's problem is that his qualifications are not high enough, and he has not yet obtained the title of waiter. And if you want to make You Shixiong justifiably awarded the service system, it is enough to bring up the credit for Wang Sunchen's pacification of the Western Regions.

Since the Son of Heaven fell ill at the festival in the southern suburbs, there have been major and small things inside and outside the court, and the Western Regions have become forgotten corners. If it weren't for Wang Sunchen's ability to lead the army and You Shixiong's planning and support, the first western expedition since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty would basically end in failure. Based on this, it is not difficult to have a waiter.

But if Han Gang wants to show his strength to the outside world, it is enough to have one Shen Kuo. There is already a Su Song in front, and now Han Gang is also planning to restart the system, and it is a little too much for You Shixiong to come in again. You Shixiong came in, so what should Shen Kuo do?

There are many things in Qi science, You Shixiong can't help, but Shen Kuo can. This is why Han Gang just wants Shen Kuo to come in, and would rather put the more trustworthy You Shixiong on the frontier.

If only someone could have the best of both at the same time, Han Gang thought. But other than that, he really has no one else available.

Guangxi's Su Ziyuan is much worse in terms of status and qualifications. And he is also Han Gang's in-law, and he does not have the status of a jinshi, he can sit firmly in Yongzhou, partly by assisting Han Gang to recover Yongzhou and pacify Jiaozhi's military exploits, and partly by Su Mian's widow.

The situation in Yongzhou is very good now, especially in the development of agriculture.

Before the southern expedition, there was abundant rainfall and leaned on the left and right rivers, but the fields were all patches of dry fields. However, since Hangang began to cultivate the fields, the Jiaozhi prisoners of war were used to dig ditches and transform the fields, even after Hangang left, similar projects have not stopped, and with the large use of agricultural machinery in the Central Plains, the difficulty of local farmers to cultivate is also reduced. A large amount of rice has been shipped from Guangxi in the past two years, and it did not fall from the sky.

Guangxi is at the juncture of rapid development, and Yongzhou is the key to it. If this momentum can be continued, with the development of time, sooner or later it will become a land of fish and rice that is not inferior to the Jiangnan Zhulu. Su Ziyuan's position should not be moved lightly now.

Shen Kuo and You Shixiong.

For a while, Han Gang hesitated, and it was really difficult to choose.
