Chapter 33: Seeking the Sun and the Moon (5)

Zhang Dian sat idly in his chair, listening to his nephew's return.

"Don't want to? But why? ”

"Nope." Zhang Zhen shook his head and paused, "Maybe it's spirit." ”

Zhang Dian shook his head and patted the armrest, "It's all done in this position, where can it be spirit?" ”

"Why is that?"

Zhang Dan laughed and said, "Han San and his father-in-law have been fighting secretly for more than ten years for the Dao Unification, where can they bow their heads and admit defeat. Soon, the laughter lowered again, "He doesn't look down on this position left and right." ”

"What?" Zhang Zhen didn't hear clearly.

"Nope."

After sending Zhang Zhen out, Zhang Dian also expected Han Gang's possible reaction.

If Han Gang sent someone to discuss with Wang Pan, it would be clear that he was greedy for power, and he bowed his head plainly in front of Wang Anshi. On the contrary, if Wang Anshi makes his granddaughter the queen, Xinxue will lose his qi.

If Han Gang really valued academics more than power, his reaction now would be very normal.

However, what Han Gang said at the beginning, Zhang Dian still remembers very clearly. Han Gang really attaches more importance to his own ideas than reality, and I am afraid that he will realize his original wish step by step in the future.

It's just that if Han Gang is really pulled back by Wang Anshi through his granddaughter, what means will he rely on to implement his ideas?

It's unpredictable.

Seeing that Zhang Duan was silent, Zhang Zhen asked worriedly, "Seventh Uncle, is it still important?" ”

"It's fine." Zhang Duan said with a smile, "With Wang Pingfu in Jiangning, he still wants to enter the two mansions." ”

The tone was relaxed and sent his nephew out, but Zhang Dian didn't think that Wang Anli could stop Wang Anshi from going sideways.

Wang Anshi and Wang Anli did not have a good relationship.

Zhang Dian once heard that after Wang Anli became the prefect of Jiangning, he met with Wang Anshi once when he first took office, and there was no contact with him since.

A few months ago, he also heard that Wang Anshi met Wang Anli who was on patrol with a complete set of honor guards when he was traveling, and hid directly in a private house on the side of the road without meeting Wang Anli.

Wang Anli's debauchery has always been disliked by Wang Anshi, especially during Wang Anguo's mourning period, Wang Anli also called prostitutes to drink and feast, which left a deep mustard in Wang Anshi's heart.

The most important thing is that Wang Anli's attitude towards the new law has always been ambiguous, which has made the rift between the two brothers deeper and deeper.

If Wang Anli went to Banshan Park to make trouble after learning the news, maybe he would push Wang Anshi instead.

The love left by Emperor Xizong back then, Wang Anshi will not forget it.

At that time, it was really troublesome.

……………………

After sending off the guests and returning to the backyard, Han Gang told his wife and concubine about the meeting.

"Official, why don't you want to?"

Yan Suxin asked suspiciously, this is indeed a good way to solve the problem.

"Is it because the officials don't want to bow to Lao Pingzhang?"

Han Gang took a slow sip of tea, "Do you know that children born to close relatives within three generations have a ten times higher chance of congenital diseases and stupidity than ordinary people. ”

"Really?" Zhou Nan exclaimed.

Although Han Gang still has a son born to Wang Yi, there will be no blood involvement. But Wang Yueniang is a concubine, and if Han Gang asks the concubine to ask for it, it will lose the meaning of marrying her cousin. When ordinary people marry their daughters to their cousins, don't they just want to have a sister-in-law's aunt and aunt as an aunt, and they can be taken care of?

Now, according to Han Gang, such relatives can't be connected.

"What am I lying to you?"

"Ahh Yan Suxin suddenly screamed softly, "But Fourth Uncle Feng and Second Uncle Li have already married, Wei Wei and Brother Su." ”

"This is the statistics of the medical records of the Bao Chi Bureau recently, who knows beforehand?" Han Gang shook his head and said, "The fourth brother's family has a disabled child, and he can afford to raise it for a lifetime, don't worry, just don't make an example after the fact." ”

It's just a matter of chance, and Han Gang is not worried.

It's Jiang Ning's side that makes people have to think more.

From the perspective of conspiracy theories, it is very likely that this incident was behind the officials who wanted to break the Zhang and Han systems, but it could also be just a small accident.

But in any case, when the letter is handed over to Wang Anshi, the Yue Niang of the Wang family is very likely to become the queen of the world.

Although Han Gang does not remember his previous life, the history books record the historical materials of Wang Anshi becoming a relative. But in this unrecognizable world, everything has become possible.

I don't know if Wang Anshi will give up his face.

"But if that's the case, what should Yue Niang do if she becomes the queen?"

"It's okay if it's done." Han Gang looked very open, "Isn't it a good thing to be the emperor's niece and son-in-law?" ”

……………………

Summer goes to autumn, and as the time of sunshine gradually shortens, the matter of the Son of Heaven is proceeding smoothly.

The imperial court sent letters of inquiry to thousands of families, and received a total of more than 500 candidates. The palace envoys who were sent to inspect finally selected more than 80 school-age girls to enter the palace for training.

These girls are all from the family of the Father of the High Gate.

One of the most surprising to the world is the selection of Wang Anshi's granddaughter.

This means that the Linchuan royal family has since changed from a scholarly family to a noble family, and Wang Anshi's reputation has been greatly affected. It has been boiling for months in Shilin.

In addition, there are also rumors in Shilin that this is a desperate ploy by Wang Anshi who does not want Han Gang to continue to stay in the phase.

It's just that until the final result comes out, Han Gang's position will still not be shaken.

However, in this selection, it was not only a granddaughter of Pingzhang who stood out, but also the granddaughter of a privy envoy.

Just a month after entering the palace, the two girls gradually came into the world's eye, becoming the most likely candidates to be chosen as queen.

One is the grandson of Wang Anshi, who was highly regarded from the beginning, and the daughter of Wang Bian. The other is the grandson of the late privy envoy Di Qing and the daughter of the envoy of the Eastern Dyeing Academy.

Di Jian is the son of Di Qing, a famous general of the Renzong Dynasty, and is now serving as the governor of Hebei and garrisoning Dingzhou. Wang Anshi's granddaughter was selected, which made the Jingshi think that the queen had been decided for a while, but with the arrival of the Di family girl from Dingzhou to Beijing, there was gradually a momentum to come from behind.

Even Han Gang couldn't help but be surprised, Wang Yueniang's advantage was too great, and how did the Di family girl manage to be on an equal footing with her?

After his wife came back from the palace, he asked with some curiosity: "How is the daughter of the Di family?" ”

Wang Yi said: "Didn't you tell the officials last time, the daughter of the Di family is outstanding, and Yue Niang will lose a little." ”

"This is known for the husband. The husband asks about other aspects, character and demeanor, morality, speech, and merit. ”

The news of her stunning appearance was legendary before the daughter of the Di family entered the palace.

The appearance of the sons of the Di family inherited their father Di Qing. Before Di Qing went into battle, he had to wear a copper mask, so as not to be too handsome and despised by the enemy. Di Qing's granddaughter, in terms of her appearance, is naturally very outstanding.

When Wang Yi came back from Jiangning before and sent his niece to the palace, he had seen the daughter of the Di family, and her appearance was indeed extraordinary.

After coming back, he sighed that not only his niece and daughter could not compare, but even the golden lady who inherited Zhou Nan's appearance of seven or eight points could not compare to her.

Although the baby daughter of the Han family inherited her mother's brightness, she also inherited Han Gang's slightly stiff eyebrows and eyes, so with today's aesthetic concept, she has to lose to her mother. But she can beat Jin Niang in appearance, but it is also rare, and in the small circle of the upper echelons of the Beijing Division, Jin Niang can be regarded as the leader. This time Wang Yi admitted that it was inferior, which was really surprising.

"In addition, the character and demeanor of the daughter of the Di family are also outstanding, and they are pitiful when they look at it. Although the talent is worse than Yue Niang, after the election in the palace, he does not pay attention to this. And the daughter of the military general's family has a good physique, and according to the Queen Mother, she is a good child. ”

There is another point that Wang Yi did not say. In terms of family background, Wang Yueniang can't take much advantage.

In the past 20 years, the country has been in great shape, fighting in the south and the north, destroying the country, and famous generals have emerged one after another. Di Qing's exploits have become very inconspicuous compared to them.

But after all, he is the only military general who has become a privy envoy after Zhenzong, and he is also from a military class, from his death to the marshal. In addition, the sudden death in the prime of life is also regrettable. In terms of family background, the daughter of the Di family will not lose too much to Wang Yueniang.

"If the officials oppose Yue Niang, it is most likely that the daughter of the Di family will be the queen."

Han Gang shook his head, noncommittal.

He would rather arrange for the Son of Heaven to be the daughter of the Wenchen Zaifu family than the martial family.

The power came out of the barrel of the gun, this sentence, Han Gang did not dare to forget for a moment.

The daughter of the Di family became the queen, and the danger hài was much older than the niece who became the queen.

"What does the concubine think?" Han Gang asked.

"The concubine seems to prefer Yue Niang."

Wang Yi understood that Concubine Zhu had taken a fancy to Wang Anshi's identity. Only with external aid can Zhao Xu's position be as stable as Mount Tai. Otherwise, the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister will join forces, and it will be easy to change to a new emperor.

"What about the officials?"

"If the daughter of the Di family is selected, I don't know how the seventeenth side will be arranged as a husband."

Di Qing and Chong Shiheng had a dispute over Yu Liang in the old days. During the period when Western Xia was still alive, the breeder had always been more hostile to Di Qing, and now he has let it go.

Han Gang had a close relationship with the breeders, and Wang Sunchen, Li Xin, and even Zhao Long, the leading figures in the new generation of the Western Army, all had a close relationship with the breeders. And the seed itself, the name of the three is powerful in the world, among which the seed is promoted to the festival envoy a year after the palace change, and after being the palace marshal for three years, he went out of the town to the east of the river, and waited for the opportunity to cut Liao. As for the planting, planting, and planting, they are all the backbone of the army.

Therefore, after Xining, the status of the seed family in the Western Army has risen sharply, and now it is not only the first general of the Western Army, but also the first class of the forbidden army. trampled the Di family completely under his feet.

If the daughter of the Di family suddenly became the queen, the seed family would definitely feel uncomfortable for a while.

But Wang Yi knew that Han Gang was just talking nonsense, and he really decided which side to stand on, and it would never be because he had to take into account the feelings of the breeders.

"Official, do you really want Yue Niang to be the queen?" Wang Yi asked Han Gang.

"I became the queen's uncle, but I am the elder of the Son of Heaven, why don't you want to be a husband?"

Han Gang made a joke, but when he saw that his wife was serious and strict, he also restrained his smile.

"It is unexpected that my father-in-law will take this path, but it is also reasonable. Yue Niang, as a husband, will not approve or oppose. Han Gang has had this attitude for a long time, and it is still the same, "As for the Di family, she is congenitally deficient, and she can't pass the last hurdle." ”
