Thousands of miles away, a series of curses were brewing in Wang Shao's stomach.

In the capital, except for the Zhao official family and a few rulers, no one else could and had no right to interfere in the affairs of Hehuang. And as long as he has the full support of the Son of Heaven and Wang Anshi, the privy envoy Wen Yanbo has no way to deal with him. But Wang Shao never thought that he would be dismantled so quickly, and it was dismantled by the Son of Heaven himself.

Since entering Beijing, the procedure for meeting the Son of Heaven has been completed step by step. Starting from Wang Shao, all the way to the accompanying Fan people, many of them have been rewarded. I don't know where Yu Longke and Blind Medicine heard the story, when the Son of Heaven said that he wanted to give the surname, they said together that Bao Zheng Bao Zhongcheng was a loyal minister of the imperial court, and begged the official family to give the surname Bao. Now Yu Longke has changed his name to Bao Shun, and Blind Medicine has changed his name to Bao Yue, as for Zhang Xianger, he is a Chinese name, and there is no need to change it.

The three people led by the patriarch of the Qingtang tribe were willing to go to the capital to express their obedience, representing the perfect realization of Wang Shaoping's first step. The Son of Heaven issued a letter, signed an edict, and praised Wang Shao for 'not bothering the soldiers of the big moves, the battle of the salary, expanding the land with Rong, deterring the famine, opening a letter to show grace, and attaching to Suihuai. 'Honorable.

Suddenly, Wang Shao became the most popular figure in the capital, inviting and showing favor in an endless stream, like a planet revolving around the sun, making Wang Shao almost dizzy. Fortunately, he has suffered a lot since he left Kansai, and he knows better that these flatteries can come today and go tomorrow, and he can't do anything at all.

But for the first time in a few years, Wang Shao heard people's cheers from the capital. Due to its geographical location, Qinzhou has never been valued by officials in the capital, and few have heard of the word Hehuang. But now everything is gradually changing, more and more people are hearing about the results of Wang Shao's efforts, and as the more dignitaries and dignitaries who visit him, the praise becomes louder.

The four words of smugness filled my heart, but Wang Shao's good mood only lasted until today, a moment ago:

"Transfer Hangang to Yanyan?!"

Wang Shao's abruptly raised voice seemed to be questioning the Son of Heaven, which was particularly harsh in the silent Chongzheng Palace. He was suddenly shocked that he could already be regarded as a gentleman, and Wu Chong, the privy deputy envoy who accompanied him, also cast an unhappy gaze. Although his voice barely returned to a normal level, Wang Shao's opposition was unusually firm, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" ”

"Why not?" Wang Shao's opposition was also reasonable, Zhao Ji didn't care, but his reaction was still much more fierce than the Son of Heaven expected, "Yanzhou will be successful within half a year." And Hehuang will not make a big move before the beginning of spring next year. The transfer of Han Gang is also for the sake of being able to better use troops in Hengshan, and it is not too late to transfer him back to Qinzhou when Han Jiang annexes the land of thousands of miles of Hengshan. ”

"And the money and food in Kansai are also insufficient, and now they have all been given to Yan Yan, Qin Feng does not have much surplus, only enough to make up for the deficit in the Battle of Weiyuan." Wu Chong added the key that Zhao Ji did not say.

There was a severe drought in Shaanxi this summer, but the drought broke out after the summer harvest in Qinzhou, which did not have much impact on the harvest of winter wheat. Moreover, there are many rivers in Qinzhou, and because it is located at the source, although other crops other than wheat are harvested in autumn, the water can be used to make up for the river water. However, the states east of Qinfeng have been dry for the whole summer, and even the water level of the Wei River has dropped by three feet, which is useless at all.

There is no need for Wu Chong to emphasize the impact of the drought, Wang Shao heard and saw all the way from Qinzhou to the capital, which already made him worried. With a low sigh, Wang Shao cleaned up his mood, but he still wanted to keep his corner from being pried away, it is a virtue to bend oneself and benefit others, but in the officialdom, it is a joke: "Because of the sanatorium, Han Gang is famous in the land of Hehuang, and there are also many Tibetan tribes in the Wusheng army who want to vote because of their name." Now that this matter has just come to an eyebrow, I am afraid that it will fail if it is hastily transferred. ”

Zhao Ji never thought that Wang Shao would react so violently to this order, as if there was really a big problem leaving Han Gang Guwei's side. Although this is exactly the case, Zhao Ji does not want to change his approach. He saw very clearly the importance of Hengshan and Hehuang. It was the prime minister who presided over the strategy of building Hengshan, and Wang Shao, who presided over the extension of Hehuang, was still tens of millions of miles away from the position of prime minister.

It's just that courtiers like Wang Shao who have made many meritorious contributions, Zhao Ji is generally favored. In particular, he also hoped that Wang Shao would continue to make great progress in the future, and bring Mu Zheng and Dong Yu together, so that he could give Dong Yu's uncle and nephew surnames and names like he did to Bao Shun and Bao Yue. Such an idea made it inconvenient for Zhao Ji to treat Wang Shao with a tough attitude:

"I still remember that Wang Qing had written many times earlier to promote Gu Wei to the army, and I had already considered this matter. But in the past, the ancient Wei Zhufan did not obey, even if it was forcibly upgraded, it would be impossible for this place to suddenly become a populated military state, at most it would be similar to those fetter states, it was better not to set it up. However, now that the Bao and Zhang families have been subdued, and Gu Wei has been decided, it is logical to mention this matter again. ”

Back then, Emperor Zhenzong forged the Book of Heaven and made a miasma in the country, and Wang Dan was a virtuous and upright person, but he followed nonsense. Why? It's not because Shinjong gave him a jug of pearls. To the prime minister of a country, a pearl in a jug is nothing, but this is a bribe from the Son of Heaven! Thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, the Son of Heaven gives face, if you don't accept it honestly as a courtier, you will have no face in the future.

Now Zhao Ji made it clear that he wanted to use Gu Wei's promotion to the army to exchange Han Gang with Wang Shao. Gu Wei's promotion of the army was a matter of course, and in exchange for Han Gang, it was actually a loss--with the disciples of the Medicine King sitting in the rear, the soldiers in front of him could be loaded with three points-but did Wang Shao have the right to refuse? What's more, Han Gang is not his son, so he can be at his mercy

For a short moment when Wang Shao hesitated, Wu Chong's thick eyebrows were already twisted. He had a sarcoma on his neck that was slightly larger than a plum and a little smaller than a peach, and if he got closer, he could smell a strange smell. If in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Chong would not have been able to pass the first item in the fourth trial of the official body - 'body words and written judgments', how could he serve the monarch with a sick body? And in terms of appearance, not to mention that compared with another privy deputy envoy, Feng Jing, who was known for his handsomeness and grace in the court, Wu Chong was too much worse than his in-law Wang Anshi.

However, in the Great Song Dynasty, which focused on talent and learning, Wu Chong's shortcomings in the body shape and remains seemed insignificant. Since he was admitted to the Jinshi, he has been promoted all the way, and his advance speed is not below his in-law Wang Anshi, and he has already sat in the position of Zaizhi.

Since he is already a Privy Councillor, it is only natural that the authority of the Privy Council should be upheld. He didn't mind Wang Shao's tone towards the emperor, and it was common for courtiers not to give the Son of Heaven a step down. But for Wang Shao's inaction, the Son of Heaven has not yet become angry, and Wu Chong is already very uncomfortable listening to it - when will the official transfer seek the opinion of the official's boss? !

Even former prime ministers like Han Qi and Fu Bi could only complain a few words in private after their powerful subordinates were transferred away by an edict. Only when they saw that the subordinate who was optimistic about Lu was moved to the left could they say a few good words for him, and in this way, they did not dare to say that he would be transferred back - otherwise, a party's hat would be buckled on their heads.

"Han Gang was personally put in cloth by the Son of Heaven," Wu Chong said, "The Son of Heaven has a life, and he should not shirk the prevarication." A sentence blocked Wang Shao's mouth.

Zhao Ji also followed: "Han Gang has made many meritorious contributions since he entered the court, sanatoriums, sand tables, and military chess, all of which are unique and unprecedented. And in the army, it is also a brilliant record. I've always wanted to see him, but it's been two thousand miles away, and the situation in Guwei has been tense, so it's been delayed until today...... This time, Han Gang was transferred to Yanzhou, and he also had to go to Beijing according to the regulations, which was just right to recruit Han Gang into the Hajj. ”

Zhao Ji had long wanted to see Han Gang once, but he couldn't help it, and now he just took advantage of the situation. At the beginning of this year, Han Gang's name was only passed by his ears, and now it has only been a year since he became an important official in Qinzhou.

To be able to recommend Han Gang, Wang Shao is of course a hero, but if Wang Shao goes back and plucks Han Gang, maybe Han Gang will refuse this order. If this happened, Zhao Ji didn't know how to send Wang Shao, whether it was to punish the crime or let it go, it would be difficult for people to make a decision.

In this case, the smartest thing to do is not to give people a chance to make mistakes - before Wang Shao has returned, call Han Gang to the capital first.

Wang Shao was helpless, although Han Gang was his most powerful subordinate, and he was personally recommended, but he dug a corner for Han Jiang, and he could only stare dryly. The Son of Heaven supported Han Jiang's adventure, and just yesterday, Han Jiang and Wang Anshi also proclaimed Ma and worshiped the prime minister. In addition, Han Jiang is also a scholar of Zhaowenguan University, and Wang Anshi is only the supervisor of the history of the country, nominally speaking, Han Jiang is the prime minister, but Wang Anshi is the second minister.

The combination of the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister, Wang Shao can't fight at all, and he can only bow down to orders if he comes. Now, the money and grain in Guanxi are all in the hands of Han Jiang, and the soldiers and generals are all under the orders of Yanzhou, and the accumulation of Shaanxi over the years has been pressed to Luowu City. If it wins, it will be fine, but if it fails, I am afraid that it will be a heavy loss that Shaanxi and Hedong will not be able to regain for several years - not only materially, but also psychologically.

It's all or nothing! ’

After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Wang Qinruo once said that Kou Zhun persuaded Emperor Zhenzong to personally conquer the palace as a desperate gamble, and threw the Son of Heaven as a bargaining chip. was originally a famous minister who saved the country from peril, but because of this, he hated the Son of Heaven and was reprimanded from Beijing. From the perspective of later generations, Wang Qinruo made it clear that he was slanderous, and the situation at that time was a last resort.

And now, Han Jiang's adventure in Hengshan is not because of imminent death, but only because the son of heaven is greedy and the courtiers are greedy for merit. This is the difference between vision and courage. Although today's monarchs and ministers still maintain control over foreign strategy, they are still too far behind Kou Zhun.

'Look how you end!' ’

This is not a curse cast by a resentful woman, but a conclusion that comes from seeing through the essence and seeing through the imminent changes in the situation of the war. The embarrassing accent has an indescribable magic. The murmuring words revealed the majesty of the voice:

"Look how you end!"
