Chapter 13: Don't Go to Yugong Mountain (5)

[I don't know if this should be yesterday's or today's share. There is only one day left after the Spring Festival, and we will continue to collect red tickets and collections]

Han Gang followed Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu into the state hall quickly.

Whether it is the state hall or the county hall hall, unless there is a festival or a Chinese envoy with a holy decree, the main entrance is closed, and only the side doors on both sides are opened for people to walk. The door on the east side is the door of life, from which ordinary people enter and exit, while the door on the west side is the door of death, and only prisoners on death row are dragged away from this gate.

Today, it is the envoy of the edict, and the main entrance of the Qinzhou Prefecture Hall is naturally open. The scorching summer sun shone in through the open door, and a eunuch in a scarlet robe stood in the middle of the hall, and beside him was a small yellow door with several scrolls of holy decrees covered with bright yellow silk on a vermilion lacquer tray.

Among the onlookers outside the lobby door, Han Gang was surprised to find the figures of Wang Hou and Zhao Long in official uniforms. When they looked at each other, the two of them smiled and said hello silently.

Gao Zunyu obviously knew the angel who came to announce the edict this time, and after he entered the hall, he stepped forward and bowed: "It turned out to be Wang Duzhi." ”

Wang Zhongzheng hurriedly returned the salute, and the smile on his face was even flattering, "Gao Tiju has made great contributions to the imperial court this time, and even the Son of Heaven was stunned when he heard the news of Gu Wei's great victory. Straight to say that Gao Tiju and Wang Jiyi are able to do things. ”

Gao Zunyu smiled and greeted Wang Zhongzheng, and the envoys had to grovel in front of the uncle of the Son of Heaven. Unlike the scholars, who can not take Gao Zunyu's identity as a relative in their eyes, and even use this identity to beat Gao Zunyu from time to time, the eunuchs who work in the palace are afraid of the queen mother's uncle.

Han Gang followed Wang Shao forward to greet Wang Zhongzheng, and got a four-character evaluation of 'young and promising' from the mouth of this eunuch. He thanked him casually, and waited with Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu for Wang Zhongzheng to announce the edict.

Wang Zhongzheng was still waiting for someone, but it was not Li Shizhong as Han Gang expected. The governor of Qinzhou is now continuing the interrogation on the side of the second hall, although it is certain that he must have gotten the news, but since Wang Zhongzheng did not inform him, Li Shizhong would not let go of the case and walked out rashly. After Wang Zhongzheng finished announcing the edict, he would come out to greet him and wash the dust for Wang Duzhi. Now in place of Li Shizhong, it is Dou Shunqing and Xiang Bao.

The enmity between Xiang Bao and Wang Shao and Han Gang is as deep as the sea, and the sequelae of his stroke still exist. He walked into the lobby with difficulty, didn't look at Wang Shao and Han Gang, walked over and saluted Wang Zhongzheng lukewarmly, and stood aside silently. was originally the leader of the high-spirited young Zhuang faction in the army, but now it is in the twilight. Only when his gaze swept over Wang Shao and Han Gang would a flash of murderous intent appear in his eyes.

Han Gang looked at Xiang Bao, who was haggard, he was already a dead tiger in the officialdom after a stroke, even if he hated himself to the core, he couldn't do anything.

retracted his gaze, but caught a glimpse of Wang Hou outside the lobby, pointing at Xiang Bao with his hand, his lips silently reading, looking like he was reading the three words Zhang Shouyue. Han Gang nodded knowingly. Sure enough, it was Zhang Shouyue who replaced Xiang Bao, and it seems that the news of Xiang Xuan's transfer from Qinzhou this time is a certainty.

Not long after Xiang Bao came in, Dou Shunqing also walked into the hall. The old deputy head of the capital also looked a little haggard, and when he looked at Han Gang's side, the killing intent in his eyes couldn't help but be revealed. Although Han Gang did not leave any flaws, it did not affect Dou Shunqing's suspicion of Wang Shao and Han Gang.

Dou Shunqing had a hateful look in his eyes, Han Gang was unconscious, and the lines on his brows were not because he was already the deputy chief Dou who was already anxious, but for Li Shizhong.

The governor of Qinzhou was not invited out by the envoy of the Xuanzhao, but invited Dou Shunqing, which made Han Gang puzzled. It is impossible for the Son of Heaven and Wang Anshi not to transfer Li Shizhong. The pen and ink lawsuit between the Wang and Li families can be stacked two feet high on the desk of the Chongzheng Palace, which is almost incompatible. As soon as Li Shizhong is in Qinzhou, Wang Shao's hands and feet will be shackled for a day. There are two great victories to testify to Wang Shao's talent, how can Zhao Ji still keep Li Shizhong as a stumbling block to Hehuang Tuobian in Qinzhou?

This time, Zhang Shouyue came back to directly replace Xiang Bao, which was expected by Han Gang. In his prediction, Dou Shunqing should be retained as a transition, while Li Shizhong will definitely be transferred out of Qinzhou first—this is also the view shared by Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu. Moreover, he has more seniority in officialdom than Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu and Han Gang combined, and what kind of impact the two great victories will have on Qinzhou officialdom, Li Shizhong must know it himself.

Han Gang has worked hard these days to design Dou Xie to be put in prison for trial, just thinking that he will strike first, otherwise Dou Shunqing will smoothly replace Li Shizhong as the governor of Qinzhou, even if it is a transition, he Han Gang will inevitably be stripped of his skin.

Han Gang had a headache, and Wang Zhongzheng had already begun to read out the edict, and the content of the first edict explained his doubts.

The order in which the edicts are proclaimed is determined by the rank of the official. When all the officials he invited arrived, Wang Zhongzheng turned around and lifted the bright yellow satin on the lacquer plate, and took off the scroll of edict on the top, "Dou Shunqing listens to the edict." ”

Dou Shunqing stepped forward and knelt down.

Wang Zhongzheng was reading the edict in a shrill voice. This edict did not mention the slightest hint of Dou Shunqing's words of deceiving the emperor by turning thousands of acres of desolation into an acre of desolation, but praised his hard work in Qinzhou and asked him to return to the capital.

Sure enough, Li Shizhong was still to be transferred. When Han Gang listened, he suddenly realized.

Before taking office, the warden of the frontier county was generally required to meet with His Majesty and explain his views on the position he was about to hold and what he would do after taking office. Dou Shunqing was summoned to Beijing to prepare for replacing Li Shizhong.

But this is not the usual situation, there are only two months left until autumn, and then the various roads along the Kansai Rim will usher in the largest western thief offensive of the year. The cumbersome affairs of Fang Qiu are now about to be prepared, and in Han Gang Wang Shao's expectations, it will be Dou Shunqing who will directly replace Li Shizhong, in case it delays Fang Qiu. Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven would let Dou Shunqing go to Beijing for a formality.

"It's really steady......" Wang Shao lowered his voice and said, but he was complaining when he listened to it.

This steady move of the imperial court not only made Wang Shao complain, but also made Han Gang feel unhappy. Now that his grandson has committed an accident, Dou Shunqing is indispensable. At the same time as he entered Beijing. Dou Jie's crime will also be handed to the desk of the Son of Heaven. It is impossible for him to take over the post of governor of Qinzhou again, and it is even impossible to stay in Qinzhou. Now that Xiang Bao is gone, Dou Shunqing is also gone, for the sake of internal stability in Qinzhou, there is a great chance that Li Shizhong will be retained at the end.

Isn't that self-defeating? Looking at Wang Shao's cold expression in front of him, Han Gang could guess his thoughts.

'Forget it, there's a way. After seeing Li Shizhong's recent performance, Han Gang is still somewhat sure.

Immediately after Dou Shunqing, it was Xiang Bao who took the order. After some comforting words, Xiang Bao was dismissed from his position as the governor of the capital and transferred to Beijing. Because of obstructing the opening of the river, he was about to be condemned, but a stroke won him a lot of sympathy, and he was promoted by half a level and went to retirement.

Dou Shunqing entered Beijing, Xiang Bao was dismissed, and a big shock in Qinzhou officialdom was drawn to an end by Wang Zhongzheng in the kung fu of a cup of tea.

Next, Wang Zhongzheng changed his coldness from thousands of miles away, and became smiling—it was Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu, and Han Gang's turn to receive the reward.

Wang Zhongzheng was not sent to Qinzhou to announce the edict from the beginning. Because of Tuo Shuo's great victory, the reward given to Wang Shao and others actually set off with Zhang Shouyue early. However, when the good news of Gu Wei's victory reached the capital, the envoys of the Xuanzhao who traveled with Zhang Shouyue were urgently recalled to Beijing by the gold medal, and Wang Zhongzheng, the deputy governor of the province with a higher status, came to Qinzhou with the changed holy decree.

Although Wang Zhongzheng did not include the merits of Gu Wei's great victory that had not yet gone through the formalities of gong inspection in the holy decree, the new reward given to Wang Shao and others was much more generous than at the beginning.

Rushing to Wang Shao, who was kneeling on the ground, he finished reading the opening sentence in the previous paragraph praising his repeated meritorious services, and Wang Zhongzheng said the key.

Wang Shao's official was promoted to the rank of Zuo Zhengyan from the seventh grade, and the official was invited by the court on the seventh grade, and the rank was the captain of the sixth rotation. These three items are no different from the previous rewards. However, the Son of Heaven also gave him a five-grade uniform and a silverfish bag, so that Wang Shao could wear a crimson official robe symbolizing the official position of the fifth-rank or higher in advance, and wear a silverfish bag that only important ministers above the waiter system have, and as a literary alternative, he was also replaced with the position of Zhiji Xianyuan.

Changed into a crimson official robe, put on a silver fish bag, and knelt down in front of Wang Zhongzheng again to thank him, at this time Wang Shao finally had the appearance of a frontier minister.

Although Empress Dowager Gao's uncle didn't do anything in the victory of Guwei, he just made up the numbers, but the credit was originally for those who saw it. However, he will not have to wait until a few months later, and the edict now given to him only says that he is loyal and diligent and respectful of the king's orders. Gao Zunyu, who relied on the identity of a relative to get the title of founding man, was crowned with 200 households because of these eight words.

After Wang Shao, after Gao Zunyu, followed by Han Gang, compared to giving Wang Shao a long compliment, Han Gang only got a few sentences.

Han Gang knelt on the ground and listened to the voice coming from the top of his head, "Praise merit and goodness, and the state has a common law." You can do it, and you know the times. Than see the inference, when the increase order. When you move to the first place, it will go to the past. ”

After a piece of nonsense, Han Gang only noticed the words 'Dangqian first-class'. His official is about to be promoted, and his official has been promoted to one level in just four months, that is, the so-called transfer of the official without passing the exam, which is very rare in the officialdom, and what is even more rare is that Han Gang has not yet been born as a scholar. And this is not the result of taking into account the credit of Gu Wei's great victory.

There is no positive nine grades in the selection of people, and since the judge of the nine grades has been promoted by one level, it is from the eighth rank of the trial title. Wang Zhongzheng was reading the later paragraphs of the book, and Han Gang's official was moved from the original county lieutenant of Mi County to the trial title of Zhilai Prefecture to participate in the military.

Han Gang was grateful, and there was not much joy on his indifferent expression. The reward of moving to the first rank was too small for his merits. And he is still calculating in his heart, how much credit he has to accumulate before he can change from a candidate to a Beijing official. The grade is meaningless to the Jilu official, and the selection of people is seven ranks, except for the lowest judge and book captain, the other six orders are from the eighth rank. And the Beijing officials still have the nine grades, but the selection from the eight grades is far less than the Beijing officials from the nine grades.

But it's a promotion, everything has to be done step by step, don't worry. Han Gang thought so.
