Han Gang is indeed bold.

Since Hehuang ten years later, people have forgotten how he was first appreciated by Wang Shao.

However, it was Cai Qu's failure that made Wen Yanbo sigh the most.

Cai Qu, Zeng Bu, and Xue Xiang joined forces to overturn the strategy of continuing the previous emperor's statecraft, and replaced it with the curtain of the empress dowager with a rigid personality.

If they succeed, in order to fight with Wang Anshi, Zhang Dian and others in the court, they will inevitably invoke external forces to help. At the moment, when good and evil are completely divided, the help that Cai can indeed invite will naturally not be his family.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager has always been hostile to the New Party, and if she governs, the state will inevitably return to the time of her ancestors. Even if Cai really doesn't want to set things right, he can't help it. After the deceased Ci Shengguang Xian Cao, as an aunt and aunt, is it not the empress dowager who can't be a niece and bride?

Two or three years later, the veterans who returned to the court, combined with the power of the Empress Dowager, were able to bring down Cai Qu and Zeng Bu together. Completely eliminate the chaos of the past 15 years.

It's a pity that after Han Gang's bones, the most difficult opportunity no longer exists.

Cai has indeed become a rebel since then, and it is impossible for the Song generation to turn over again. A cadre who is close to him, etc., this time, life is also sad.

Cai Qu's henchmen will not be mentioned. His relatives are all implicated in this case.

It is said that Han Qi's family has confirmed the relationship with Cai. In terms of marriage, the dead Han Zhigui, his sons did not have the slightest idea of fighting against each other. Everything is aimed at maintaining the Han family's door from falling. But in the current situation, their original purpose has completely become the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror.

and Feng Jing, the former prime minister who married Cai Qu, also couldn't escape the result of attacking the crowd.

Wen Yanbo and Cai really have nothing to do with it, let alone Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang. But Wen Yanbo has no thoughts of schadenfreude now.

Xing Shu turned out to be one of the accomplices involved in Cai Qu's conspiracy to rebel, which made Wen Yanbo speechless.

The identity of the torturer is too embarrassing. In Luoyang City, he is the younger generation that many people are optimistic about, and he is also one of the eyes and ears of the elders of Xijing in Beijing. Its friends are extensive, walking under Sima Guang and Lu Gong all the year round, and he is a disciple of Ercheng, full of friends, entering and exiting the door of the patriarchs, and there are many people in the Yanai and scholars who have come to associate with him.

Compared with Lu Gongshu and Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo has no relationship with Xingshu. But he couldn't stay out of it. The fact that the criminal forgiveness was implicated in the major case of rebellion was a greater blow to the old party than the defeat of Sima Guang and Lu Gong and their return to Beijing.

In the family of the prisoner, I don't know how many documents have been exchanged with the children of the eunuchs in Luoyang City, once they are searched, the entire Luoyang City will be restless.

Even though he can defend his innocence and say that he has nothing to do with Xingshu's participation in the rebellion, who doesn't have a little tail these days? In case someone wants to come to one once and for all, Wen Yanbo himself can't escape.

Wen Yanbo's white eyebrows furrowed tightly, and even he felt that this matter was tricky. Respect for the old ministers did not include rebellion. Especially the thieves of the New Party have waited for so many years, such a good opportunity, even Wen Yanbo doesn't think they have any reason to let it go.

In this case, at least be prepared. When things really come, you can deal with them and not mess up.

"Did you have anything to do with that torturer in private?!"

Wen Yanbo asked suddenly, his eyes fixed on Wen Jifu, who was a few steps in front of him. Even if he has always been unpretentious to his son, he has never had such a serious expression.

Wen Jifu was already colorless, and his face was pale. Even Wen Jifu understands that the court's attitude towards rebellion has always been rather vain than indulgent, not to mention that the Wen family is now in the court, and the courtiers who are related to it are already commendable to squeeze into the waiter class. If you really have to face the power of the imperial court, you don't even have someone who can help you speak.

The punishment that often comes and goes with him has become a traitor, and as a person close to him, how can he easily get out.

But he didn't dare not answer his father's question. If you are really found to be involved in rebellion, you will kill yourself if you can't say it, so as not to bring disaster to the family. In this matter, the close relatives of father and son have no affection to say, and they cannot implicate other children and grandchildren or even the entire family for the sake of one son.

Before Wen Jifu realized it, he had already knelt down, "My son doesn't dare to deceive adults, and he has always flattered his son in the past." The son is not affectionate, and he is more perfunctory with him. But he was never involved in any rebellious deeds. ”

Seeing that Wen Yanbo was silent, he was even more panicked in his heart, his mind turned rapidly, and he hurriedly defended himself, "My lord, I think that Cai and Xue Xiang have both supported it, how can they usually rebel?" It was only because of the immorality of the Son of Heaven that he had a different heart. But how many days has the emperor died? Even if the son has the intention to rebel, he has no time to conspire with him! ”

Wen Yanbo was silent for a long time, and then sighed, "...... Go and fetch the letters and drafts from your study. ”

Wen Jifu was like being amnestied, holding his knees and struggling, only to find that he was already covered in cold sweat, soaked with the small clothes inside. But he didn't dare to complain about anything, turned around and staggered out of the greenhouse and went to his small courtyard.

Generally speaking, scholars write letters with a draft. Even those who are talented will leave a draft in their hands after writing a letter to their relatives and friends. The manuscripts for the epistolary part of the private anthology were drafts left at home.

Wen Jifu has written letters to others in the past, and he was most involved in a major case. Therefore, Wen Yanbo strictly ordered any letter to leave a draft for future inspection and self-defense.

It's not that Wen Yanbo doesn't believe in his son's bottom limit, but he doesn't believe in his mind. It is a common thing in officialdom to talk about dredging, but if you don't know how to leave room for yourself in words, it is rare stupidity. And in the letter to the rebellious, only a little ambiguity can be explained to people, and it becomes a heinous sin. If you don't see it with your own eyes, Wen Yanbo will not feel at ease in any way.

Wen Jifu soon returned, and the two servants each held a box full of letters that Wen Jifu had received and sent over the years.

Wen Yanbo personally read the drafts, not only to the letters to the criminal forgiveness, but also to the letters written to Lu Gongshu, Sima Guang, and some other people close to the criminal forgiveness.

It's just that the more he looks, the more ugly Wen Yanbo's face becomes.

Although Wen Jifu was already very careful, many of his letters were inconsequential, and if he really wanted to be convicted with words, it was really not difficult at all.

Fortunately, there are not many problems in the letters exchanged with the torture, but it is already a crime to associate with rebellion. If you want to get out, you have to take off a layer of skin.

Unless someone in the court can help ease his cheeks, the court will take care of the decency of the old ministers, and the children of the Wen family will not have any future.

Dropping the letter in his hand, Wen Yanbo let out a long sigh. The greenhouse was not ventilated, and the letter was full of dust, and with a movement in Wen Yanbo's hand, countless dust phantoms could be seen shaking in the light pillar transmitted down.

Wen Yanbo's current mood is like this dust, chaotic and clueless.

He has been away from the court for too long, and the Queen Mother has been hanging the curtain for only a few years, and there is no old kindness at all. And above the court, the status of a few people who can speak is far from enough. The New Party has been in control of the state for more than 10 years, and all the relatives of upright men and gentlemen have been cut off from the channel to advancement. Up to now, the highest is just a servant, and if you want to talk about the Queen Mother, their weight is still too light.

Moreover, his relationship with Han Gang is even worse, and almost everyone in the DPRK and China knows about it. Now that Han Gang has made such a great achievement, I am afraid that all the villains who want to flatter him will rush to step on themselves, so that Han Gang, who is high up, can take a look at them more. And other people in the court are even more unlikely to have a bad relationship with Han Gang for the sake of the Wen family.

Did Fu Bi see this and plan to marry Han Gang?

One or two are the same, what Fu Bi did reminded Wen Yanbo of Han Qi, in order to maintain the lintel, it doesn't matter if he loses his face.

But Han Gang was in the court...... Don't even want Han Gang to speak, as long as they see his in-law relationship with Han Gang, others will naturally bypass the rich family.

Could it be that the last request was made to Han Gang's head?

Although Wen Yanbo is old, he is still unwilling. But at this point, he had no other way.

After struggling for a long time, Wen Jifu only heard a long sigh from his father, his straight back bent down, his tall body seemed to shrink, and the whole person was a little more embarrassed.

"Go get pen and paper." Wen Yanbo's voice was full of exhaustion, "I want to write a letter for my father." ”

The manuscript paper was spread in front of Wen Yanbo, and the pen and ink were ready. But Wen Yanbo faced the manuscript paper, but he didn't write for a long time.

After a long time, he began to write slowly, word by word. The end of the pen seems to have a thousand weights, so that Wen Yanbo can't go like the dragon and snake in the past.

After only reading two sentences on the side, Wen Jifu's heart jumped up. This is to write to Han Gang to lose integrity, and he wants to bow to Han Gang!

After so many years, after all, he still has to bow his head to Han Gang and admit defeat, Wen Jifu's heart is sad, that is, when Han Gang was just a small official, his father, who was still a privy envoy, could not help him, and now, he is even more arrogant, so that his father has to bow his head.

"Xianggong! Urgent news in Tokyo! ”

A servant hurried to the conservatory.

Wen Yanbo's hand shook, and a large ink ball appeared on the paper.

Looking at the more than 100 words on the defaced manuscript paper, except for the ink ball, Wen Yanbo dropped the pen and said to the servant: "Bring it!" ”

This is the latest news from the city of Tokyo.

Wen Yanbo unfolded it and looked at it, and his movements immediately froze. In just a few hundred words, he read it for a full moment.

At first, his brows became tighter and tighter, but soon they unfurled along with the wrinkles on his face, and at the end of the day, he laughed loudly.

Wen Jifu was stunned, he hadn't seen his father laugh so heartily for many days.

"My lord? My lord! ”

Wen Yanbo was in high spirits, raised his hand and crumpled the manuscript paper on the table and threw it away: "It's easy to do now!" ”

Wen Jifu was puzzled, and could only look at his father blankly.

Wen Yanbo didn't get angry at his son's dumb face this time, but asked with a smile: "Where is Shen Kuo from?" ”

Wen Jifu blinked his eyes twice: "...... Shen Kuo of Kaifeng Mansion? …… It seems to be two Zhejiang...... That's right, it's two Zhejiang! Hangzhou's. That's why the first emperor sent him back to Liangzhejiang to measure the implementation of the new law in Liangzhejiang. ”

"Hmm." Wen Yanbo nodded, and asked again, "What about Li Ding?" ”

"It seems to be from Yangzhou."

"What about Lu Jia?"

What does this have to do with Lu Jia's question? But Wen Jifu didn't dare to ask, "Uncle Lu Hui's hometown is Guanlaizhou, and he is naturally too." ”

"No," Wen Yanbo shook his head, "he's from Huainan Shouzhou...... When did he speak for the northerners? ”

Lu Jia asked if it was counted from Lu Yijian's side, he was a native of Shouzhou, Huainan, a little closer to the north than Jiangnan, but still in the south.

But if you talk about your ancestral hometown, Lu Jia asks about Laizhou, Jingdong, and it is from the same place as Han Gang's ancestors.

But Lu Yijian, Lu Gongzhu, and Lu Gongbi can say that they are northerners, and their positions speak for themselves. But Lu Jia asked to say that he was a northerner, and he was in charge of a group of people spitting on him. Then he pointed to the map and asked, do you know where Shouzhou is?! - When didn't he always stand on the side of the Southerners?!

"Where is Han Gang from?"

"Kansai. However, the ancestral home is Jingdong...... Does it matter, my lord? ”

"Yes." Wen Yanbo nodded, and then laughed again, "Since Han Yukun has a heart, why doesn't the old man make a scene?" ”
