Chapter 28: The Beam's Soft Red Shower (7)

[I'm really sorry.,I can't bear it.,I have to go to work tomorrow.,The chapter that was missing yesterday can only be filled when I'm free.] 】

Han Gang sent Li Xiaoliu to Zhang's house to deliver the name post, and when they met at the appointed time, Zhang Dian was in Wang Anshi's mansion.

The three assistants who were deeply relied on by Wang Anshi are still three now, but there is one less Lu Huiqing and one more Zeng Xiaokuan, the son of former Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang.

Lu Huiqing had to return to his hometown because of his father's funeral, and he needed three years from the tomb to come out again. Because Lu Huiqing's official position is still too low and his qualifications are not enough, Wang Anshi can't help him win an edict to win revenge. Now instead of Lu Huiqing, he is presiding over the internal and external affairs of Sinong Temple, and it is Zeng Bu who is essentially in charge of the implementation of the new law.

Zeng Xiaokuan is the son of Zeng Gongliang, and he has always walked as the son of the prime minister, and he has helped Wang Anshi's career a lot. Now that he wants to implement the armor protection law in Kaifeng Mansion, he is just qualified to take over from it and preside over the promotion.

Originally, because Zeng Gongliang's identity as prime minister was behind him, Zeng Xiaokuan could not be regarded as a core member of the Fa Reform faction, but could only be regarded as an alliance. But now, Zeng Gongliang invited himself because of a poem by Li Fugui, and Zeng Xiaokuan has fewer obstacles, entered the core layer, and was able to preside over the implementation of a new law.

At present, although the main events of the imperial court are all on the side of Hengshan, all the new laws and regulations are being done step by step. And because of the bloody and bloody struggle with Wang Anshi and his new law a while ago, the anti-change faction was also greatly injured, and they were driven out of the capital one after another, and the few leaders who participated were even sent far away. At present, the anti-reform faction in the DPRK and China hardly dares to use such a two-faced approach.

Now, the anti-deformation faction can only grit their teeth and watch the art of war be realized step by step in Shaanxi. After a fruitful promotion, the number of 'generals' formed by the merger of several commanders in Kansai has exceeded 20, with more than 30,000 soldiers. And this number is constantly expanding. The army under Han Jiang has basically been reorganized, and the military orders from the Yanzhou Marshal Mansion are mostly handled by the generals in the future.

Today, the core of the Fa-changers gathered to discuss the promotion of the armor protection law in Kaifeng.

The most important thing in implementing any law or policy is not to cause chaos among the people. But now there are rumors circulating inside and outside Kaifeng Prefecture, saying that the implementation of the armor protection law is for the sake of the people as soldiers, "There are already rumors that all the registered Baoding will be conscripted into the army." Zeng Xiaokuan briefed several people present on the current situation of the implementation of the Baojia Law.

"Ridiculous!" Zhang Dun scoffed at the rumors, "Ling Xuan [Zeng Xiaokuanzi] You'd better let it go." Such rumors should be dealt with by thunderous means! ”

Zeng Xiaokuan nodded and said, "Zihou's words are exactly what Xiaokuan intended. The armor protection law is not a new commodity, such as Shaanxi, there are already bow and arrow societies, Zhongyi societies, and Hebei also have many loyalty societies. The people reunite to protect themselves against thieves, and there is everywhere in the world. These rumors are not spread out of ignorance. ”

Zeng preached: "During the Sui and Tang dynasties in Guanzhong, Zhechong Mansions were set up all over the country, and they were led by Zhichong Commanders. For example, although it has long been changed to recruitment, the roots of the old Oshiki Prefecture in Kansai are still there. The Zhongyi Society and the Bow and Arrow Society also have the most in Shaanxi. It should be easier for Shaanxi to promote the armor protection law. ”

Whether it is the Bow and Arrow Society or the Zhongyi Society, they are all organizations used by Shaanxi to protect themselves, basically gathering the strong people of a village or a township into an army. This is indeed somewhat similar to the military system in the Sui and Tang dynasties. The basic unit of the military system is to divide the localities into Zhechong Prefectures, which have 600 to 1,200 soldiers under its jurisdiction, all of whom are from good families, who usually live in the countryside and work as farmers, and are called to go out to fight in wartime, rather than the soldiers recruited with money today.

"There are a lot of redundant troops in Kaifeng, and the art of war will be lined, and nearly half of the Xiang army will be eliminated, and the forbidden army is inevitable. The Kaifeng garrison was reduced, the armor protection law was not working, and it was difficult for the Son of Heaven to be stable. Wang Anshi turned to Zeng Xiaokuan and said, "This matter needs to be done more often." ”

Zeng Xiaokuan bowed: "Don't dare to call it hard." ”

"If the armor protection law is properly implemented in Kaifeng, it should be promoted to all walks of life in the world as soon as possible!" Zhang Dian said, "Jinghu Xidong is barbarian and disobedient to Wang Hua, there are many people who have gone down the mountain to do it, and Han'er has been bullied. If this method is implemented in the Han families around the barbarian village, it will have a miraculous effect. ”

Zeng Bu and Zeng Xiaokuan exchanged a look, this Zhang Zihou was unwilling to be lonely after seeing Wang Shao's glory.

Although Jingzhou was already a land of China as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the mountainous areas around Jinghu Lake were home to many Xidong Yi tribes. For thousands of years, there have been rebellions, sometimes with the Han people, and even from the Han Dynasty to the present dynasty, every three or five rebellion tribes, now there are several families in Chenzhou are in rebellion.

However, Wang Anshi knew the seriousness of the matter: "This matter is not urgent, and it is not too late to mention it when the Hengshan matter is decided." ”

"There are not many people who are optimistic about the matter of Hengshan, and Han Yukun is not optimistic about it either. The Son of Heaven wants to see him now, what should he do? Zhang Dian suddenly mentioned Han Gang, who had just entered Beijing today. Unlike Wang Anshi and Zeng Bu, Zhang Dian was not very optimistic about Han Jiang's adventure in Yan Yanlu. In his opinion, the odds of success are about half and half, and it is difficult to make the balance of weights.

Hearing Han Gang's name, Wang Anshi frowned unconsciously, Han Gang's matter was indeed a bit of a headache. He looked at a few right-hand men, Zhang Dian was definitely on Han Gang's side, while Zeng Bu, who was frowning, was different from Zhang Dian and didn't like Han Gang. Since listening to Han Gang's three strategies that day, I have an opinion on it, and I always feel that Han Gang's heart is not right, and he is the kind of person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he must not be reused.

The attitudes of both sides will not be objective, Wang Anshi looked at Zeng Xiaokuan, "Ling Xuan, what do you think?" ”

Zeng Xiaokuan thought for a while and said, "The Son of Heaven wants to see him, and he has always been concerned about him. Now that Han Gang has entered Beijing, it is inconvenient to really stop it, and it seems that he is weak to do so...... If Han Gang can change his tune and put away those words, things will be easy. ”

"It's going to be difficult...... Zhang Dian slightly lengthened his tone, "Han Yukun acts upright, almost unbiased, and rarely compromises. If you want him to be euphemistic in front of the emperor, I am afraid that it will be the fate of the wood to ask for fish. ”

Zeng Xiaokuan has heard of Han Gang's deeds, compared to Zhang Qianya, he has a chivalrous spirit, and he also has a bit of Ban Dingyuan's demeanor, and the recent sword he pulled out in the Tibetan Department and beheaded the Western Xia envoy is a clear proof. Such people, of course, are stubborn, and may even go to the end with a tendon. If Han Gang wants to change to Han Jiang in front of the palace, it is indeed difficult to convince successfully.

"Han Gang is just a candidate, recruiting him into Beijing is already promoting him, why bother with it?" Zeng Bu was very unhappy, "If the Son of Heaven thinks of Han Gang, let him enter the palace to face the saint." If the Son of Heaven doesn't mention it, then that's it. Zuo is just a lowly official, can he still hinder the country?! ”

Zhang Dian sneered slightly and glanced at Zeng Bu. In fact, being able to bring Han Gang up for discussion in a serious manner at the secret meeting is equivalent to agreeing with his status. And with the deep impression that Han Gang has left on the Son of Heaven now, ordinary court officials can't compare to his influence. In addition, Han Gang was already very easy to win people's favor, so the Son of Heaven favored him, and it was not impossible for Han Gang to soar into the sky.

If Han Gang can soar, Zhang Dian is happy to see it. Han Gang had the grace to save his father's life, and this kind of life-saving personal friendship was much stronger than the relationship between fellow villagers, classmates, and fellow families. Moreover, Han Gang is twenty years younger than his own, and Zhang Dian is not worried about what pressure he can bring to himself...... In fact, the most important thing is that Han Gang's style of acting is really very much with Zhang Tun's appetite.

"In fact, Han Yukun is upright and knowledgeable. Although he is long in the history of the scriptures and neglects the poetry, if in previous years, it was just a Ming scripture, but now the Jinshi Branch will be changed, and with his talents, it is not difficult to take the Jinshi exam. The future is limitless. Zhang Duan glanced at Wang Anshi, thought about it, and didn't say the latter sentence. But Wang Anshi's desire to recruit relatives for his second daughter is clear to everyone present.

Wang Anshi was silent. In fact, for the husband of his second daughter, he originally had a candidate in mind. Cai Bian, who entered the department this year, is first-class in appearance, talent, and family background, and his disciple has a clear personality early on. Where can such a son-in-law find faults, he is much stronger than the other person who once made him think.

It's just that in the period after the release of the list, because of the three strategies proposed by Han Gang, the promulgation of the new law has been sharply accelerated. Several sets of decrees were issued, and a great edict was issued, not only the academy was locked for a few days, but even the lights of the Chinese book were bright day and night, Wang Anshi was so busy that he didn't even go home, even if he went home, he fell asleep, and after waking up, he hurriedly entered the palace again.

By the time Wang Anshi listened to the cicadas and raised his head from the case, it was already mid-June. Cai Bian, who is not married, has long been robbed to be a son-in-law, and the new science and technology jinshi have also been carved up, and his daughter's marriage has been delayed.

Wang Anshi does not have many requirements for his son-in-law, his family background is innocent, his character is outstanding, and he can learn from the countrymen, even if he is a poor family, it doesn't matter, of course, his appearance must be passable. You can't marry into a political enemy, but you can't let your daughter become a tool for others to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

From this point of view, Han Gang is indeed a rare candidate. And it's only twenty years later, at this age, it's really hard to find someone who can be so compatible.

For Han Gang's character, Wang Anshi appreciates it very much. Not afraid of power and insisting on one's own opinions, this is a rare character - although the object of character is oneself - coupled with not greedy for merit and progress, he hid a sword in the Tibetan tribe, gave up his low-hanging fame, and passed on the credit to the blind medicine, forcing the leader of the Tibetan tribe to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty. Although there is a bit of bullying in it, it can be seen that it is a fist for the country. Therefore, the Son of Heaven didn't care at all - Guo Kui had done it when he threw away the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he simply concealed the edict of the Son of Heaven to keep Suide City - it would only make Zhao Ji value it more.

However, since Han Gang is so good, and others are not blind, it is impossible for Wang Shao alone to let him go......

Wang Anshi suddenly smiled, thinking too far, but now he was talking about whether to let him enter the palace to face the saint. However, Wang Anshi's thoughts were different from Zeng Bu's, "I still can't make trouble for Han Zihua." Since Han Gang said that he didn't want to take credit, then let him do it, but things still have to be done, and he needs to preside over the medical treatment in the Yan Yan army, and he doesn't want to get rid of this matter. As for the Son of Heaven's side, there is no need to see a candidate, let's wait for Han Gang to become a Beijing official! ”

Wang Anshi didn't leave any affection for Han Gang at all, and his slightly gloomy and serious expression made people understand that the name of the reluctant minister was not called in vain.
