Chapter 20: The Court vs. Zhan Yuhua (I)
[I'm sorry, I have something to go out during the day today, and I'm a little late. But the two watches remain the same]
Before he could let Han Gang show his eloquence, he was interrupted by an uninvited guest.
The Son of Heaven sent an envoy to send an edict to find Han Gang to enter the palace to meet him, so that the noise in the building disappeared without a trace. Looking at this tall and strong eunuch who came upstairs, like a martial artist more than a eunuch, no one dared to say anything anymore.
Most of the scholars looked down on eunuchs, but they could not be disrespectful to the envoys who had the imperial order.
No one present thought that this was because the Son of Heaven wanted to condemn Han Gang, so he specially recruited him into the palace to meet him, and there must be some benefit waiting for him. The thought that the Son of Heaven actually sent someone to find Han Gang made everyone's hearts even more jealous.
It's finally here. β
The summons of the Son of Heaven, Han Gang had been waiting for this for a long time. The meeting separated by dozens of steps during the palace examination was excluded, and he was an official who had achieved the seventh grade before he officially met the Son of Heaven for the first time, which was the same age as when he became a court official, and it was unique in the court now.
In the eyes of everyone who were angry and more jealous and envious, he bowed down to receive the order, and then Han Gang turned to the group of Confucian scholars and arched his hand: "Brothers, and forgive Han Gang for saying goodbye first." β
Han Gang retired like an old friend, and all the Confucian students were stunned one by one, not only should they return the gift, but they still raised their heads and disdained them.
Before they could decide to come over, Han Gang had already turned around and left. Before leaving, Han Gang didn't forget to ask his accompanying companions to pay for the money, nor did he forget to pull Ye Tao, "Brother Zhiyuan, didn't you say earlier that there are still important things in the afternoon?" β
Ye Tao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded continuously. Of course, he knew that as soon as Han Gang left, he would become the target of everyone, and he had no intention of staying. followed Han Gang downstairs and said goodbye to Han Gang at the door: "Then the little brother will go back to his residence first, and then come back to contact Brother Yukun in two days." β
sent Ye Tao away, and Xiao Er of Qingfeng Lou also led Han Gan's horse. At this time, an explosive commotion from upstairs suddenly sounded and came down. The people in front of them looked up one after another, and the corners of Han Gang's mouth couldn't help but show a sneering smile.
The eunuch also glanced at Lu Shang, and then turned around and urged: "Please also ask Dr. Han to get on the horse, don't let the Son of Heaven wait for a long time." β
Han Gang nodded and smiled: "Naturally, how dare Han Gang delay." Then he turned over and got on his horse.
The eunuch also jumped on his horse, more than half a horse behind Han Gang, and headed towards Miyagi, which was located in the north of Tokyo.
In the process of moving forward, the eunuch kept a steady distance from Han Gang, and it was also very easy to raise the reins to avoid pedestrians in front of the passing, and it seemed that his riding skills were very standard. Walking all the way, he flatteringly said to Han Gang in front of him: "On that day, Dr. Han was strategizing in Didao City, guarding Hezhou alone, and protecting the entire Xihe Road. After coming back, the officials asked in detail. For the doctor, the official family has always kept it in mind, and often mentions the name of the doctor, and has been longing to see it for several years. β
"Han Gang has been blessed for a long time, and he doesn't want to see Qingguang, but he is always inconvenient."
Han Gang said the usual scene, but he was thinking about the eunuch's words, saying that he had followed Li Xian to Xihe.
After thinking about it carefully, Han Gang also vaguely remembered the eunuch who was sent by the Son of Heaven to recruit him into the palace. Eunuchs who are as tall as a martial artist and do not have much eunuch femininity are indeed rare. At the beginning, Li Xian sent the edict to Didao City by holy decree and ordered Han Gang to withdraw from Hezhou, so he took this person behind him, remembering that he carried the edict to retreat. However, at that time, Han Gang insisted on the holy decree, and it was inconvenient to even say anything to Li Xian, and he only met with this eunuch two or three times.
However, Han Gang found that this eunuch was quite good at talking, and the little one followed Li Duzhi, and they all saw it in their eyes. When he came back, the officials asked him in detail, and it sounded as if he had said good things for himself. But the actual situation should be that the Son of Heaven asked Li Xian and Wang Zhongzheng.
Raising some interest, Han Gang asked, "I remember seeing the Yellow Gate in Li Duzhi's place, I don't know what to call it?" β
When the eunuch heard Han Gang's question, he became excited. What is Han Gang's identity? The prime minister's son-in-law! Feng Jing and Fu Bi are all the prime minister's sons-in-law. With Han Gang's current merits, rank, and more importantly, the importance of the Son of Heaven, he may not be a prime minister in the future.
Moreover, Han Gang has a great say in the affairs of Shaanxi, especially Qinfeng and Xihe. If he can say something good, maybe he can go to Xihe or Qin Feng to bear it. In the future, it will be good to imitate Wang Zhongzheng and his benefactor, and how many previous generations of big mink jue will go out to take charge of the army.
Hurriedly bent down on the horse, and replied respectfully: "Don't dare to be a doctor and ask, the little surname Tong is famous, and he is only a high grade, and now he is waiting for the call in the Chongzheng Palace." β
Han Gang's body stiffened for a moment, and his face changed a little, but he rode in front of him and didn't let the people behind him see it.
ββ¦β¦ Child...... Pass through! β
"It's the villain."
Coming from a past life thousands of years later, I don't know much about history. Han Gang's understanding of this celebrity in the world comes mostly from the memories left by his predecessors, such as Zhang, Cheng, Shao, Li and other great sages and celebrities, which of them will know the Tao without their predecessors? In the past, He Fang had only heard one name.
However, from the memories of thousands of years ago, in addition to the eternal celebrities such as Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, and Sima Guang, the name of the little yellow door in front of him who was flattering him was also like thunder, and it has been passed down for thousands of years.
"Hehe......" Han Gang laughed silently, he was a eunuch through the ages, and he staggered when he was in Xihe, "Tong Guan, consistently, this name is good." β
He disguised his shock with a casual kind remark.
And Tong Guan only heard Han Gang's praise, and smiled: "The cheap name is insulting and listening, and the cheap name is insulting and listening, and it doesn't deserve Dr. Han's praise." β
Tong Guan does not have an official body yet, and the only Hou Gaopin belongs to the small yellow gate without grade, and there is still a distance from the yellow gate of the ninth grade in the internal servant system. Not to mention being on a par with Wang Zhongzheng, Li Xianna and other big minks who have been transferred to martial arts. So Han Gang's praise made him so excited.
However, Han Gang knew that Tong Guan would be able to become a king in the future - if history still developed as he remembered. It's just that since he, Han Gang, has reached this era, he will not let Tong Guan have the opportunity to become a thief, and the shame of Jingkang will never appear again in the future...... It's just a pity that the Water Margin is spread.
When he didn't move, he was already outside Miyagi. Left a companion to lead the horse outside the door, Han Gang and Tong Guan dismounted, checked the waist card, and walked into the palace from the Dongye Gate. After passing through the two palace gates, it took a quarter of an hour to finally walk in front of the Chongzheng Palace.
Han Gang stayed outside the temple gate, and Tong Guan entered the hall to reply.
Soon, a word came from the hall: "Xuan Hangang enters the hall." β
The test in the middle hall of Jiying Hall was just a glimpse, but it had already left a good first impression on Zhao Ji. Although it is not very handsome, it is not comparable to Feng Jingna, but it is still outstanding in appearance, coupled with the temperament that has been honed, among the more than 400 jinshi, it is definitely outstanding.
And today's formal summoning in the Chongzheng Palace, the distance between the monarchs and ministers is far shorter than that of the Jiying Palace, which makes Zhao Ji see Han Gang's outstanding place.
Most of the courtiers who met the Son of Heaven for the first time were sincerely afraid, but Han Gang was not flustered at all. Actions and salutes are all in accordance with due etiquette, and there is no mistake in sight.
Zhao Ji knew that Han Gang was a disciple of Zhang Zai, and Zhang Zai himself was well known in the court for his deep understanding of etiquette. Han Gang was taught, and he would not be ignorant of the etiquette of the face-to-face king.
It is not a simple matter to apply what you have learned, and there are never a few important ministers in the palace who have lost their manners. And Han Gang not only has no wrong etiquette, but his attitude in front of the emperor is not much different from that of Wang Anshina and other important ministers who often meet in the Chongzheng Palace. If you insist on the difference, it is only a little more restrained.
The calm temperament and outstanding appearance are just in line with the image that Zhao Ji has guessed through a series of inventions and contributions of Han Gang over the years.
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction, with a rare smile: "Since Han Qing became an official, I have always wanted to see Han Qing. Who knows that the road has been delayed until today. β
"The minister is so blunt that he has been remembered by His Majesty. The minister was grateful, but he was also ashamed. β
"Weiyuan Fort, Xiangzi City, Kenuo Fort, several times guarded the back road, resisting the thief army. Without Han Qing's strength, the matter of Hehuang is almost impossible to protect. β
"It is the blessing of His Majesty."
The opening is a conventional clichΓ©, even if he is grateful, he only has a slight fluctuation in his emotions, and he will not cry bitterly, so as to show how excited he is after seeing the Son of Heaven.
Han Gang knew very well that the more he was in front of the Son of Heaven, the more he had to show a solemn posture, otherwise he would be frivolous - this comment was a fatal word for courtiers who aimed to dominate the world.
Seeing Han Gang, not swayed by his own joy and anger, Zhao Ji valued him a little more - this is also human nature, optimistic about a person, and it is good to see what he does - think about it carefully, in fact, only such a calm and stoic character can stabilize the Xihe Road that is difficult at home and abroad when Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu go to pursue Mu Zheng.
Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu both wanted to get the credit for recovering Hehuang, and they were unwilling to give up the pursuit of Mu Zheng, so they led their troops over the Exposed Mountain together. And the reason why they can leave with peace of mind is that they believe that Han Gang can stably support Xihe Road as the rear. Han Gang did not live up to their expectations, not only repelled the Western Xia people, but also withstood the pressure of the court, and maintained order in the middle of the road until the good news came.
In the past year, Zhao Ji didn't know how many times he was glad for Han Gang's resistance to the edict, and he also regretted that he had sent the wrong person to Luo Wucheng in the first place, otherwise, the Western Xia Kingdom would have been dying at this time. The consequences of employing people are as bad as ever.
