[The first update, ask for red tickets, collect]

After sighing, Han Gang calmed down again and read. But it wasn't long before his reading stopped again. Li Xiaoliu came into the study to pass the ceremony, saying that Qiu Laolang came to visit with an apprentice.

It's finally here. Han Gang smiled and put down the book in his hand.

Dou Shunqing entered Beijing, Dou Xie was imprisoned, and the plaintiff who put Qiu Yiwen's apprentice in prison was gone, and Han Gang took a break half a month ago to get him out of prison. However, the unlucky Dang Xiang Langzhong suffered a little in prison, and when he was dragged out, he only had half a life left, and Qiu Yiwen hurriedly took him home to recuperate. It looks like it's great to be able to come to visit me today.

Han Gang first asked Li Xiaoliu to go out of Lu to invite people into the living room, and then called Yun Niang in, and helped him change into clothes for guests, and then Shi Shiran walked out of Lu.

Qiu Yiwen was sitting in the living room of the Han family drinking tea, and the middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, haggard and sickly, who was sitting at the head of him, of course, failed to save Dou Jie's son, and was convicted of a crime. Although he is a member of the party, he is called Li Dexin. However, it is not surprising that many party members have Han surnames.

Seeing Han Gang come out, Qiu Yiwen hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up, bowing to Han Gang, while Li Dexin rushed forward, knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Han Gang for saving his life.

Han Gang stood and accepted their salutes, even if he didn't care about his life-saving grace, with his current status, he was worthy of the two of them bowing and bowing.

After the two got up, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and after a little cold and warm talk, Han Gang invited them to sit down.

After Qian gave up his seat, Han Gang didn't want to listen to any more words of gratitude, so he took the initiative to ask Li Dexin, "I only heard that Qiu Lao said that Brother Li was born in the party, but I don't know which one Brother Li is?" ”

For some reason, hearing Han Gang's question, Li Dexin did not answer immediately, but vomited.

Is there anything that can't be said? Han Gang's eyes suddenly became sharp, if he was from the opposite side of Liupan Mountain, then he couldn't let it go lightly.

Qiu Yiwen looked at Han Gang's expression and hurriedly helped the apprentice explain: "Little Lao'er, this apprentice, is actually from Jinming Village. ”

"Jin Mingzhai?" Han Gang frowned, he didn't remember which village on Qin Feng Road had this name, but he felt inexplicably familiar.

Qiu Yiwen sighed and pointed to the east: "It's the Jinming Village in Yanzhou." ”

"Ahh Han Gang suddenly, patted the armrest of the chair, and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a clansman with an iron face." ”

"Not a clansman." Qiu Yiwen shook his head, "He is the son of the iron-faced man." ”

"Oh?!" Han Gang was taken aback. Unexpectedly, the party in front of him was the biological son of Li Shibin, who caused the fiasco of the Battle of Sanchuanguchi.

Li Shibin, the iron-faced prince of Jin Mingzhai, there are not many people who remember him today, and even if he does, he is mostly scolded. But thirty years ago, or before the Battle of Mikawaguchi began, it was in Kansai that it was famous and admired.

Li Shibin is the patriarch of the Dangxiang Hao clan and has lived at the southern foot of Hengshan for generations. His main tent is located in Jinming Village on the bank of Yanshui, and he also serves as the capital supervisor. Around Jinming Village, there are seventeen small forts, all of which are under its control and control the land within a radius of 100 miles. It is claimed that there are 100,000 people and thousands of elites.

Li Shibin relied on the military strength in his hand to block Li Yuanhao, who had rebelled against the Song Dynasty, so that he could not get close to Yanzhou. And because he governed the army very strictly, bravely and dared to fight, he had the nickname of the iron-faced man.

In order to take down Li Shibin, the blocking stone, Li Yuanhao did his best. But whether it is bribed with money or designed to be divisive, it will end in failure.

The rewards that Li Shibin has received from the Song Dynasty over the years are incomparable to the price offered by Li Yuanhao, a robber, and no one in this era can compare with the Great Song Dynasty. And Li Shibin himself is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and has guarded Jinmingzhai for generations since his grandparents, and has won the trust of the imperial court and successive Yanzhou guards, and the discord plan is also a joke.

In the end, the cunning and deceitful Li Yuanhao came up with a plan to be arrogant.

He first sent people to spread rumors, praised Li Shibin's prestige, and then let his soldiers drop their weapons and turn around and flee as soon as they saw Li Shibin's banner, which made Li Shibin proud.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuanhao sent his powerful people to defect to the Great Song Dynasty under the false pretense of fearing Li Shibin's prestige. It was common for the Tibetan Ministry to come to vote, and Li Shibin, who was old in border affairs, did not see the problem, and easily contained these returnees.

However, Li Shibin had the reputation of being an iron-faced public, and he was strict in governing the army on weekdays, and he was often dealt with by military law, and there were many disgruntled soldiers who had been punished. Li Yuanhao relied on the spies sent into Jinmingzhai and spent a lot of money to buy them, thinking that he should be in charge.

After all the arrangements were made, Li Yuanhao raised troops to invade the south, captured the northern gateway of Jinmingzhai in the first battle, and then attacked Jinmingzhai in the south. However, when he arrived at Jinming Village, Li Yuanhao did not take advantage of the daytime to attack the city, but only outside Chen Bingzhai.

Li Shibin looked down on Li Yuanhao because of his arrogant strategy. Seeing that they did not dare to attack, he was even more proud, and after nightfall, he left his military affairs and went back to sleep.

Next, there is a very common story of internal chaos, the city gate was opened, and the solid Jinming Village fell. Li Shibin even had the reins of his mount cut off by Neiying, and he couldn't escape, so he was captured by Li Yuanhao. Han Gang heard that his ending was that his ears were cut off by Li Yuanhao and taken to Xingqing Mansion for an exhibition, and he survived for ten years before dying.

Han Gang sighed: "If there was no internal rebellion back then, Jinmingzhai would not have been lost, and there would have been no defeat at Sanchuankou." Perhaps, the First World War frustrated Yuan Hao's spirit, and there was nothing to follow. ”

Li Shibin's fiasco and the fall of Jinmingzhai exposed Yanzhou to the iron hooves of the Western thieves. Yanzhou was in an emergency, and Liu Ping was busy leading the rescue day and night, which happened to fall into Li Yuanhao's trap. The strategy of the party people encircling the point and sending reinforcements was completed, and at Sanchuankou, which was only a few miles away from Yanzhou, Liu Ping's army was completely annihilated.

The defeat of Sanchuankou was the beginning of the successive crushing defeats of the Song army, and it was also a sign of the official founding of the Western Xia. After Sanchuankou, followed by two fiascos of Haoshuichuan and Dingchuanzhai, the elite of the Western Army was empty, and only now, it has recovered slightly.

The meaning of Han Gang's words was faintly to blame Li Shibin. Li Dexin immediately argued for his Lao Tzu: "The loss of Jin Mingzhai is not the fault of the father, but the grandfather of Dafan who asked the father to place Yuan Hao's internal should be placed on the spot." If they are settled according to the will of the ancestors, where will Jinmingzhai fall? ! ”

Han Gang has also heard about the public case of Fan Yong and Li Shibin many times, and as long as the defeat of Sanchuankou is discussed, it is impossible not to mention it. Back then, Li Yuanhao sent people to do the internal response, and Li Shibin did suggest that Fan Yong arrange these newly attached party members to other villages in Yanzhou, not in Jinming Village, but Fan Yong asked Li Shibin to settle them on the spot.

On the bright side, Jin Mingzhai will fall after the most lucrative event, and Fan Yong's responsibility accounts for at least seventy percent. But in reality, he just did what was customary.

Li Shibin, as a party subject attached to the Great Song Dynasty, even if he wanted to accept the subordinates as subordinates, he could not dispose of them privately, and he had to apply for an order. And because of Li Yuanhao's discordant plan, there were rumors unfavorable to Li Shibin at that time. In order to clear himself and prevent the court from suspecting him of expanding his power, the iron-faced minister also had to tell Fan Yong that he didn't want to keep people.

And Fan Yong followed the usual practice and let Li Shibin settle on the spot. These official exchanges, one to show one's loyalty to the imperial court, and the other to show one's unwavering trust, are actually false stories in officialdom. Just like the Son of Heaven has to resign three times when he ascends the throne, and the important minister has to resign when he is promoted to prime minister, they are all the same superficial articles.

If Li Shibin really suspected that there was fraud, it would not be difficult to arrange him in a remote village later. But Li Shibin arranged most of them in the main village of Jinming Village, so that these spies could buy Neiying freely.

However, there is no need to say the twists and turns in front of Li Shibin's son, which makes everyone unhappy, not to mention that Han Gang doesn't know Fan Yong. I saw him nod and said: "Fan Zhongxian [Fan Yong's name] has many plans and few successes, and he is not familiar with military affairs, and he has killed Li Dujian and Taiwei Liu. However, Fan Zhongxian was forgiving, and he once spared the life of Di Wuxiang, who broke the law and deserved to be beheaded, and he could barely make up for his earlier mistakes. ”

Li Dexin's face softened, "The official is right. Then he nervously apologized to Han Gang, "The villain did not choose to speak, offended the official, and hoped that the official would forgive him." ”

Han Gang laughed and said, "I only saw Brother Li's sincerity and filial piety, but I didn't see any offense. He laughed twice, and then asked, "But I remember that Li Dujian's son was escorted out by his family when Jinmingzhai fell." Because Li Dujian was martyred in Xingzhou after the most martyrdom, they were both given officials. Why did Brother Li practice medicine with Qiu Lao? ”

Li Dexin lowered his head when he heard that Li Shibin was martyred, and Qiu Yiwen helped him speak again: "The old man, this apprentice is an iron-faced concubine, and he was only five years old when he was rescued. When he was older, he went to the capital to find his two brothers, but they refused to recognize each other. After the end, I had no choice, so I followed the old man to learn some Qihuang techniques, and it has been twenty years now. If it weren't for that, he would be an official. ”

Han Gang looked at Qiu Yiwen's expression and didn't look like a fake, and then looked at the heaviness of Li Dexin's lowered head, which was also sincere, and it was indeed like he was feeling sad about his father's death, which made Han Gang's little suspicion dissipate a lot.

He said: "Old Qiu, after a while, I want to set up a third sanatorium in Qinzhou City. However, the people in charge, Zhu Zhong and Lei Jian are not available. If it is changed to an unknown person, it may not necessarily suppress the arrogant soldiers in Qinzhou City, except for Qiu Lao, I really can't think of a more suitable candidate. I don't know if the old man is willing to give in? ”

Qiu Yiyi immediately said: "How can you call it Qu Yi?" Officials have lives, of course the little old man has to listen! It just so happened that Xiao Lao'er was also getting older, and he couldn't run around on Qinfeng Road like he used to, and he wanted to take a break. ”

Han Gang said with a smile: "It's not that you want to do it yourself, the general affairs can be handled by Brother Li." When Brother Li gets started, you can put up a name. I don't know what Brother Li thinks? ”

When Li Dexin heard this, he stood up, bent down and said respectfully: "The official has the grace to save the villain's life, and he dares not to do his best." ”

"Okay." Han Gang clapped his hands and smiled, "At that time, you will have to worry about the two of you." ”

After gossiping for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Han Gang ordered Li Xiaoliu to send soup up. This is the etiquette of sending off guests in the officialdom, just like the tea delivery in later generations. After drinking two sips of the sour plum soup made by Yan Suxin, Qiu Yiwen and Li Dexin said goodbye and left.

Han Gang sent them to the courtyard and stared at Li Dexin's back, but the slightest suspicion left in his heart always lingered. But he couldn't figure out what was wrong. But in the end, his doubts turned into self-deprecation, what kind of identity is he, why bother about such a trivial matter, if something really happens, two fingers are pinched to death.

"The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time, so let's walk and see."
