"The official family will be eleven this year."

Han Gang was on duty today, and after retreating from the court, on the way from the Wende Hall to the Vertical Arch Palace, he suddenly heard Pu Zongmeng, who was traveling with him, whispering.

Han Gang raised his eyes and waited for his next step.

"It's so big in a blink of an eye."

Pu Zongmeng sighed.

"Children, growing up is also a blink of an eye. A few of my boys couldn't even walk steadily before, but in a blink of an eye, they were able to go out to study. ”

Six years to go.

The Son of Heaven is generally married at the age of seventeen, after which he can be in power, and should not be more than twenty years old at the latest. However, there are examples of Empress Zhang Xian and Renzong in the past, and Empress Dowager Xiang can be in power until her death - Empress Zhang Xian Mingsu Liu has been listening to the government after Zhenzong's death, and when she passed away, Renzong was in power, it was already twenty-four.

"If you talk about study tours, how can there be anything in the world that can compare to Jingshi? Xianggong is really at ease! Pu Zongmeng said leisurely.

The son can be thrown outside, and the little emperor must be restrained in the palace, as long as Zhao Xu can't listen to the government, of course he can put his mind at ease.

"Where can I put my mind at ease?" Han Gang paused for a moment and sighed, "I've been worried about going out for a long time. But they're all so old that they can't stay at home and read dead books. Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, don't walk more, see more, it's difficult to become a talent. And I also went to Hengqu Academy, just like my own home. ”

"It turns out that the eldest son of the Xianggong family went to Hengqu Academy!" Pu Zongmeng was surprised.

Han Gang sent his son to study at Hengqu Academy, instead of arranging for him to enter the Guozijian, how many people in the capital did not know the Tao? Thanks to Pu Zongmeng, he could pretend to be surprised when he heard it.

Qi Sect Master Han Gang became the prime minister, and the scholars were speculating about when he would change the textbooks in the Guozijian and replace the subjects in the Ministry of Rites exam. In Shilin, there are countless gambles for this.

No matter how generous Han Gang was, no one believed that he would not care that his son could not get the title of Jinshi. Since he sent his sons to Hengqu Academy, it was only a matter of time before he changed his subjects, at least before his son was able to take the Jinshi exam.

"Hengqu Academy is sent by the painstaking efforts of the ancestor Mr. Mingcheng and Han Gang, if the dog doesn't go, then who else will go?"

"Xianggong is really painstaking." Pu Zongmeng sighed.

The topic was forcibly reversed from the emperor to Han Gang's eldest son, who went out. Pu Zong Meng Zhilu said that Han Gang didn't want to talk about this topic more, but he didn't believe that Han Gang didn't mind.

The minister, who is deeply valued by the Queen Mother, will definitely not find a place in Zhao Xu's court. If the current emperor is in power, he will definitely take the opportunity to purge Han Gang's henchmen from the court in the name of Shao Shu Xifeng's law.

There are still a few years, or even more than ten years, but I can't tell when the sky will change.

The little emperor is growing up day by day, how can Han Gang rest assured? I don't want to mention it today, but I have to mention it tomorrow. Just wait.

But Pu Zongmeng didn't want to wait.

Some things, wait a minute, and you will miss it completely.

It is only three things, Han Gang, who personally proposed the method of court push, will never allow the next court push to have no results.

"Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles, these two sentences are from "Nine Domains", I can't imagine that Xianggong also reads this miscellaneous book."

Although "Travels in the Nine Domains" is anonymous, how many people don't know that he wrote it? Han Gang glanced at Pu Zongmeng lightly.

This veteran Hanlin bachelor Cheng Zhi, the time in the jade hall can almost be regarded as the top three since the founding of the country, and now although he is smiling, his face is a little pale and a little nervous.

A cool umbrella, so concerned?

Han Gang knew that if he said what he thought in his heart, he would immediately become the object of hatred of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces. Not everyone is like Kou Zhun, Han Qi and him Han Gang, who was regarded as the prime minister soon after entering the officialdom, and then had a smooth journey. For the vast majority of courtiers, the chance of getting a cool umbrella is close to zero. Even courtiers like Pu Zongmeng, who had already aged and were only one step away from the two governments, also sighed at the huge gap between the two governments and the courtiers.

"Nothing to do. I'm not good at poetry, so I don't have a lot of anthologies to pass the time, and I can't read the Bible every day. ”

Pu Zong Mengha laughed twice and said, "What Xianggong said is that reading history and reading the scriptures is to pass the time, and the same is true for reading scripts. With "Nine Domains" as the starting point, it has only been a few years, and there are more and more miscellaneous books such as scripts in the market, as well as miscellaneous dramas, and there are many so-called scripts circulating. ”

"Oh, really?" Han Gang asked with interest.

"How dare Zong Meng talk nonsense? Now there is a miscellaneous script adapted from "The Legend of Yingying", the day before yesterday in Yutang, Zong Meng heard that someone in Wutai was on the table, saying that it was prostitution and theft. Maybe ......" Pu Zongmeng paused and lowered his voice: "Maybe the script in the future will not only be about prostitution and theft." ”

Not perhaps, but already.

"Is it "The Biography of Xu Zhi"?" Han Gang directly picked it out.

Today, the Son is the one who kills the father and the king. This makes the eleven-year-old little emperor, in the eyes of the people of the world, by no means a qualified emperor. They can say with emotion that this is an injustice of the world, but it does not mean that they will deny the verdict that the little emperor is guilty of killing his relatives and king.

Even becoming an emperor is no longer the goal of courtiers and Confucians. Cheng Hao returned to Luoyang - Xinxue was still entrenched in the court, and Qixue squeezed all the remaining space, he didn't want to become an emperor, and there was no way to gain a firm foothold in the capital's Shilin, so he could only go back.

The people of the world feel that this emperor is not suitable, and the people who are tempted by that position in the Daqing Hall will naturally not be one or two.

Some people can think of using words to spread the goal, and naturally some people will use miscellaneous dramas to achieve the goal.

Among the major tiles in the capital, the stage for performing miscellaneous dramas does not stop for a day. Before the appearance of the Nine Domains Travelogue, there were already new scripts criticizing current affairs, and the reputation of the anti-king Zhao Hao in the market was ruined by a miscellaneous drama. After the appearance of "Travels to the Nine Domains", more and more scripts began to break away from the stories of gods and ghosts such as Mulian saving his mother, and began to get close to reality and allude to reality. Perhaps now is the first peak in the history of miscellaneous theatre.

The main content of "The Biography of Xu Zhi" is Xu Zhi's murder of the king, and some other legendary stories are also mixed in, which is perfunctory. Xu Zhi's ending is not the historical escape abroad and death of guilt, but the scene where Xu Zhi committed suicide and complained before he died, which is very tear-jerking. If in the words of later generations, it is a masterpiece of realist tragedy.

However, this masterpiece does not need to be knowledgeable, and after reading it, you will know that the Tao is directed at the little emperor on the throne. It's just the mastermind behind the scenes, or it's confusing.

"It's "The Biography of Xu Zhi"." Pu Zongmeng saw that Han Gang was no longer detouring, and his spirit suddenly perked up, "This part must be written by someone with a heart." ”

"Who is the right person?"

"Zong Meng watched "Nine Domains", which has a section on Lin Chong's case. One of them says the most agreeable: who benefits the most, who suspects the most. ”

The Puwang lineage has become the most noble branch of the clan since the Yingzong, and the successors may certainly be selected from them. But the successor who changed his name to justice, although he is from the Pu Wang line, is not from the Pu Wangfu.

"Huh?" Han Gang didn't speak, only used a nasal voice to express the meaning of inquiry.

Pu Zongmeng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "The three kings have the most sons, if it's not him, who else?" ”

Han Gang smiled.

Finally spoken.

Looking back at Pu Zongmeng, it seemed that he had just experienced a catastrophe, with cold sweat on his forehead and his face pale.

"The three kings have been seriously ill for many days."

has already begun, Pu Zongmeng is not afraid at all, and said bluntly: "When Emperor Yingzong was elected as the crown prince, King Pu Anyi was already gone. ”

This is actually the reason why the Pu Wang family can produce an emperor. can spread out the branches, but the emperor is endless-Yingzong's family ranks thirteen, and Yingzong's own brothers are as many as twenty-one-At the same time, the biological father is not alive. Otherwise, the new emperor ascended the throne with his stepson, where would his biological father be?

Zhao Yan has been in poor health for the past two years, and from the past year to the present, all the court meetings have been absent. According to the return of the Taiyi Bureau, Zhao Biao's days are running out.

Zhao Hao likes medical skills, and also organized people to compile medical books, and in the past two years, he has been immersed in biological taxonomy, completely ignoring the world, and there is a name for the virtuous king in the clan. But his biggest problem is that he likes to prescribe medicine for himself, and the prescriptions prescribed to him by the imperial doctor have to be reviewed by himself, and many times, one or two will be added or subtracted. Daily diet, including healthy drinks, are out of their own hearts,

An inexperienced healer who only holds a medical book is more dangerous than a lit gunpowder bag.

Among the four sons born to the Empress Dowager Gao, except for the prince who was born and died before he was named, the youngest son Zhao Hao has the weakest physique, worse than his two brothers, and always likes to toss on daily medicine, in Han Gang's view, it is actually suicide.

But he has many sons, and there are many, and Zhao Ji only has one son; Zhao Hao has three, all of whom have been reduced to concubines, and as for Zhao Hao, there are as many as eight people today, and if he recovers his health, this number will continue to grow. Of the eight sons, only one died.

This is also thanks to the progress of medicine, because of the emergence of cowpox, and the progress of nursing, the infant mortality rate of the royal family has dropped to less than one-tenth, and the common people have also decreased a lot, perhaps in later generations, the death rate of 1 in 1000 children is definitely a horrific tragedy, but at this time, it can already be regarded as a miracle by the world. And the son who died of Zhao Hao was his eldest son, who died of illness before the appearance of cowpox.

The Son of Heaven is young, and there is no younger brother, according to the distance of blood relationship, among Zhao Hao's sons, the last few are likely to become the heirs to the throne. It can be said that if Zhao Hao was not seriously ill, he would inevitably be regarded as the mastermind behind spreading rumors in the market to attack the Son of Heaven during this period of time. However, from another point of view, if Zhao Hao dies of illness recently, the emperor's heir is basically determined.
