[I am most afraid of Saturdays and Sundays, and there is always something to delay the code word. Today's second watch will be after a little later, brothers, don't wait, wait until tomorrow to see. 】

Go?

Han Gang's expression became subtle, and Wang Shao's question was very interesting.

His next direction has long been determined, and Wang Shao will not be ignorant of the way. Han Gang had already told people that after the Battle of Hezhou, the next thing was to lock the hall to participate in the imperial examination and mix up the title of Jinshi.

Wang Shao was leaving, but Han Gang would only leave earlier. In August, he obtained the qualification of tribute in the lock hall in Qinfeng Road, and next year, that is, in the sixth year of Xining, he participated in the imperial examination in February, followed by the issuance of the list, and then the banquet of Jin Mingchi, and then the judge of the East Court will re-decide the place of his appointment - the appointment of the selected officials will be handled by Liu Neiquan, and Han Gang is already a court official, and Angelica will be under the rule of the East Court of the judge.

Even if he will be arranged to return to Xihe, he will have to wait until this set of procedures is completed. If you don't get into the jinshi, you also have to wait until after the list is released. What is certain is that he will not return to Xihe until at least next April.

— unless he is asked to give up participating in the imperial examinations.

"The method of employing people in the imperial court is indeed debatable...... After next year's test, if Han Gang still has a chance to return to Xihe, he should try to keep his successor from ruining state affairs. ”

Han Gang has a close relationship with Wang Shao, and if the clouds and mountains are foggy, he will not take it out to fool people, but tell Wang Shao very clearly, 'If you want me to give up the imperial examination, then don't say it.'" ’

Giving up next year's imperial examination and giving up his only chance to get the title of Jinshi, Han Gang would never agree.

The exam subjects that have just been changed have pulled all the scholars who are good at poetry to the same starting line as Han Gang's level, or even lower. In the sixth year of Xining, the number of Jinshi who would have belonged to the southern scholars will also be greatly biased towards the northern scholars who are better at scripture and righteousness, and of course, it is also more suitable for Han Gang, who has been working scripture and righteousness for three years. If it drags on until the ninth year of Xining, he will have to compete with the Gongsheng who have adapted to the new subjects, and the possibility of losing the halberd will increase thousands of times.

At the same time, the examiners of this subject are bound to be the backbone of the new party. Zhang Dian is going out recently, but Zeng Bu and Lu Huiqing, who is about to end Ding Wei, are likely to become one of the examiners. Given his relationship with the New Party, although it is unrealistic to get the examination questions, the general direction can be determined. Moreover, in the process of making friends with the ministers of the New Party, he could let Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bulai familiarize themselves with his style and ideas...... and word habits.

But not necessarily in the next subject. Han Gang did not grasp that four years later, the New Party would still be able to remain on the throne - the reform would ultimately fail, and it is certain from the history he knew that if he could not become a Jinshi, he would have no chance to intervene in the situation in the DPRK, let alone change the fate of the New Party's defeat.

Han Gang has enough self-knowledge, he is not Zhangdun, if he wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, he can be admitted to the Jinshi. In addition to the geographical advantages that do not match, if there is no time, people and help, Han Gang asked himself if he would have no chance to cross the horse and travel the street.

'There's no way I'm going to give up!' ’

Wang Shao saw the firmness in Han Gang's eyes, and his feelings were difficult to convince.

If it were him, I am afraid it would also be a dilemma. If you just want to become an important minister in the court, with Han Gang's talent, it doesn't matter if you have the title of Jinshi or not. But if you want to get a position in the Zaizhi class in the future, the Jinshi background will be very crucial.

And judging from the current situation, Han Gang has a great chance of becoming a ruler - his age advantage is too great. For the sake of his future future, Han Gang's reasons for refusing are of course very sufficient.

He sighed and became silent.

Wang Shao was worried that bad things would happen to the officials who came to take over, and hoped that Han Gang would give up the imperial examination. Although Han Gang had no room to refuse, he didn't want to embarrass Wang Shao too much, and he also felt that he should at least wake up Wang Shao, who took He Huang too seriously.

"This time, after a little climb over the Exposed Mountain, there has been no news for nearly 40 days. I don't know why the imperial court directly ordered Hezhou to withdraw its troops, instead of selecting a competent candidate to temporarily take up the post of Xihe Jingluo...... To keep Rivers State? ”

Han Gang's question, how could Wang Shao not understand, this is a common problem in officialdom: "If the person who comes only protects Hezhou, the credit is most and more is mine, and when someone mentions Hehuang in the future, they will think of me first." However, if after losing Hezhou, someone will lead the troops to capture it, and the credit will be his own. The princes of the DPRK and China are waiting for the fall of Hezhou, who will risk it for me......"

When he said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, raised his eyes and glared at Han Gang, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a gun.

Han Gang remained silent: "Gongzhou is now self-sufficient, and there are still thousands of horses in the horse market a year - the previous two years were doubled every year - if there is no big war this year, most of them can rise to two thousand." Didao City has the protection of Nanguan Fort and Beiguan Fort, and to the north of Beiguan Fort, there are Lintao Fort and Jiehechuan Fort, between these forts, it is the best section of the river valley in the middle section of Taoshui, and it can accommodate at least tens of thousands of households. There is also the money supervisor in Minzhou, who has already begun to pay money at the beginning of the year. ”

Wang Shao's eyebrows got closer and closer, and Han Gang's tone was clearly saying that as long as he kept the Taoshui River Valley at the core of Gongzhou and Xizhou, as well as Minzhou with money and iron mines, as for other places, it didn't matter if he lost them - including Hezhou and Taozhou that had just been defeated.

“…… Yukun, do you know how much effort I have put in in the past few years? Wang Shao's voice tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Han Gang has been with the scriptures for a long time. After a little bit of deep intentions in Xihe, Han Gang saw it very clearly...... But the general trend is like this, just like a flood breaking the embankment, it is better not to go against the tide. ”

Han Gang's personality is more rational, and he has no interest in the behavior of blocking the car with his mantis arm. Like a moth to a fire, the enthusiasm that flocked to the Xihe River could not be stopped at all now—the officials who participated in the Hehuang Frontier were promoted too quickly.

Wang Shao didn't mention it, and Han Gang's promotion from cloth clothes to court officials was even more a miracle. You must know that more than half of the Jinshi in the reign of Emperor Renzong have not been transferred to the official until now, and the number of Jinshi in Yingzong is even smaller, not to mention the Jinshi after the accession of today's son. Xining's three-year jinshi, except for the champion Ye Zuqia, who was awarded the Beijing official at the beginning, the second and third places in the back will only have a chance after one term, at least two years, that is, this year can be transferred to the official - and must have a very good performance, and the Luzhong Supervision Division has a senior official recommendation.

And Han Gang was also the official of Xining for three years, and only two years have passed, and now he is already the crown prince. And the credit for conquering Hezhou has not yet been counted, once the merit is the most remarkable, even if someone speaks with his age and qualifications, even if he does not have the credit for pursuing Mu Zheng, he will at least be promoted by two levels.

The biggest problem of literati is that they can't see themselves clearly, and they like to belittle others. Han Gang knew that he thought he was stronger than a kindergarten child, and he didn't know how many. Even under Zhang Zai's disciples, there are many people who are just jealous of Han Gang's good luck and look down on his talent - You Shixiong and Chong Jianzhong mentioned this matter in their letters to Han Gang.

In that case, let them try it out. It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. When the results are replaced by credit, it is already a thing of the past, as long as the core interests are kept, as for the rest, let people lose. It's really a big fuss, it's bad for the country, but it's your own chance.

Wang Shao didn't think of this truth and means—as soon as Han Gang said it, he understood—but he cared too much about it, and he couldn't let it go like Han Gang.

"Yukun, you ......"

Seeing that Wang Shao was about to refute, Han Gang immediately took the lead and added: "If Jing omitted to ask, his answer would be the same as Han Gang." ”

"The second brother is also ......"

Seeing Han Gang's calm expression, Wang Shaozhi said that he would not lie to people on this issue. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Wang Shao, the character of his son Wang Hou, also understands it, and thinks that he has an idea with Han Gang.

Shaking his head, it seems that he is really old.

………………

After saying goodbye to Wang Shao, the banquet in the lobby had not stopped, and it looked like it was going to be noisy all night.

Avoiding the two drunks who came out to blow the wind and stood crookedly and couldn't straighten their waists, Han Gang walked towards his small courtyard.

The conversation with Wang Shao was still recalling in my mind, and I thought about it twice, asking myself if there was anything that would make Wang Shao turn his face with his family. If he wants to scold, he will first scold his son. During the period when Wang Shao did not come back, in the correspondence between Wang Hou and Han Gang, they were ready to deal with the situation after the withdrawal of troops from Hezhou, and they were saying at that time that as long as the Taoshui River Valley of Gongzhou, Minzhou and Xizhou was kept, the rest would be tossed by the imperial court.

But in fact, that is only the worst situation, and now in the land of Hehuang, after Mu Zheng was captured, there is only Dong Yu left. And Dong Yu is already alone, even if he contacts the party members, he is powerless to fight against the Song army, which already has a huge advantage in Hehuang. Even if you change the coach who is happy with the success, it will only suffer a little loss, and you will only lose one or two villages, and the general trend will not change.

Back in his small courtyard, Han Gang first looked to the east side, and there were only two lone lamps hanging at the door of another courtyard not far away. That is where Cai Yu stayed, although it was not deliberately arranged, but the opposite door where the enemy lived did have a bit of black humor.

This waste has made a mess of logistics, and the Miao Zhi and Er Yao brothers in Hezhou have jumped to their feet, if it weren't for some grain stored in Kenuo Fort, they would have had to survive by exploiting the Hezhou Tribe.

Now that Wang Shao has returned to Di Dao City, Cai Xi has taken advantage of the situation to call him sick, the chaos he caused has not brought too serious consequences, and the punishment will not be too heavy, and most of them will be transferred out of the Qin Feng Transfer Division. If the embarrassing things don't count, when it comes to luck, Cai Xi is not bad.

Han Gang smiled gloatingly, and completely left this person behind. Pushing the door into the courtyard, I sat down at the table with the scrolls, and resumed the homework that had been delayed today.

Reading, studying, Han Gang's energy was all focused on the imperial examination that was about to begin.

Now it's time to wait for the news from Beijing to come back.
