Chapter 8: The Trumpet Blows and the Cold Desire to Fight (7)
[On the weekend, there is only one chapter.] 】
See the results later?
"Is this a gambling ticket?! See the results after buying? When the old man implemented the new law, when was he not trembling, he sent people to all walks of life, lest he make a mistake. Being in the phase, do you have to roll your eyes and stare at each other?! ”
"I can't imagine that my father-in-law also knows gambling?"
"Yukun, the old man is not joking with you!"
Wang Anshi stared at Han Gang with a little anger on his face.
Han Gang's words were too impulsive, and he didn't even pay attention to humility - is this talking about walking and seeing?
"The son-in-law is not joking." Han Gang was still laughing, "Father-in-law said that Huang Lian was good, and the son-in-law said that Cao Yu was good, since they couldn't hold each other, the son-in-law could only say that he would see the results in the future." ”
"The matter of the Firearms Bureau, is Huang Lian not doing well?"
"It's done well, so it's time to be promoted, leaving Cao Yu to cooperate with Wang Juqing."
"Wang Juqing is not a suitable person."
Wang Anshi patiently talked to Han Gang, and if he was someone else, he would have bothered to explain and refute it.
But in Han Gang's view, Wang Juqing did a better job in the Ordnance Supervision Commission. If Wang Juqing is appointed as the Ordnance Superintendent, Han Gang is sure that the Ordnance Superintendent will come up with a new weapon that is beyond the reach of the Liao people. If Pingzhang didn't believe it, Han Gang could only say that he would come to see it later. ”
……………………
Han Gang walked out of Wang Anshi's study in a hurry, and he was almost kicked out.
"Yukun."
The king came up beside him.
Han Gang and Wang Anshi were talking in the study and did not let him listen. Wang went inside to see his sister and nephew, and when he turned around, he saw Han Gang coming out of the study.
"What the hell is going on?"
You don't even have to go into the study, just look at Han Gang's appearance and know that Lu Dao is unhappy.
"Zhong Yuan, go back and help persuade your father-in-law to extinguish the fire. There is no need to bring the affairs of the court to the house. ”
Wang Brow frowned, and his father Fang Cai's appearance in front of Han Gang was really a little similar: "Yukun, what are you fighting with your father?" ”
"Zhong Yuan, have you ever heard of the big insect patrolling the mountain."
Wang Bin nodded.
There is a saying that there is a mountain king in the folk mountains, so there is a saying that there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king. When Wang Bi was a child, he heard a lot of stories told by his nursing mother, and many of them were caused by the king of the mountain eating a disobedient child, which can be described as a black childhood memory
The reason why the big insect is called the king of the mountain is because it will go around the mountains and forests without trouble, so many roads through the mountains will have a big man-eating insect that will emerge coldly.
"In fact, the so-called patrol of the mountain by the big insect is not to patrol the territory, but to use urine to delineate the range of predation, and through the smell of urine, to warn the same kind and other fierce beasts not to violate."
Speaking of big insects, of course Wang Bian is not clear, if it is talking about the dog raised at home, Wang Bian will understand. Dogs peeing under trees is something that everyone will see.
But the king couldn't laugh.
It seems to be an anecdote during small talk, but Han Gang made it clear that he was here to divide the scope of power with Wang Anshi, but the example used as a metaphor was too vulgar.
"This ......"
He even felt like he had nothing to say.
Han Gang made it clear that he wanted to divide the sphere of power with the New Party and occupy a piece of territory in the court, and if Wang Anshi could agree to Han Gang, it would be a hell of a day.
Han Gang accompanied Wang to speak in the courtyard, "Although it is said that the big insect does this, it looks a little pickled. But such a reminder avoids conflicts with fellow hunters or other beasts of prey. When two beasts of prey fight, they are either dead or wounded, which is not a good thing for either side. ”
Wang Bian understood what Han Gang meant.
Now each of them takes a step back, and they can still leave some affection. If it becomes a party struggle between Niu and Li, or a dispute between the old and new parties before, it will not die.
It's just that compared with age, Wang Anshi is definitely not inferior to Han Gang. If you really want to exhaust the love, it will not be good for your sister in the future, so there are still decades of husband and wife to do!
"Foolish brother understands." The king nodded, but his voice was a little heavy.
Han Gang sighed, turning into a white mist and dispersing in the night breeze of early spring.
He didn't know if King Lu Dao could persuade Wang Anshi, but he finally did his part, but the situation of the other elder was even more troublesome.
……………………
Because Cheng Hao is half of Han Gang's teacher and once served as the emperor's teacher, Kaifeng Mansion still maintains a certain degree of respect for him.
However, just by copying all the students' correspondence with the torture forgiveness, the disciples of Tai Bancheng Sect panicked.
In front of Cheng Haozuo, who still insisted on lecturing, there were fewer and fewer students who insisted on coming to listen to the lectures every day, and today, there are only twenty or thirty people left.
Cheng Hao was happy in his suffering, saying that among the seventy-two sages of the Holy Gate, among the three thousand students of Confucius, there were only seventy-two sages. And he has more than twenty here, not as good as a saint, but he is proud enough.
But in this case, it is just self-deprecation and will not change the status quo.
In the eyes of many people, Cheng Hao's disciples taught a rebellion.
Fortunately, a letter came from the palace yesterday, and all the letters that were searched in Kaifeng Mansion because of Cai Wei's case were burned, which finally made Chengmen feel at ease.
"What a moment of rise and fall." Zhou Wenpu looked at the door of Cheng Hao's lecture from afar, "Two months ago, it was closed at night, and scholars kept coming and going. ”
Zong Ze shook his head: "Who gave up a torture?" ”
"It's not just a question of forgiveness. Open the door to receive apprentices, virtuous and unscrupulous, all come to the door. It's a problem with Taoism itself. Zhou Wenpu said to Zong Ze, "Ru Lin should have heard of the words 'natural selection, survival of the fittest'." ”
How could Zong Ze not have heard of it, it was Han Gang who used these eight words to distinguish the distinction between Huayi and interpret it as the way of nature.
But nowadays, many Confucians are discussing the connotation of these eight words, trying to reflect it in personnel. Among them, the extreme even takes these two sentences to explain everything in the world.
"Is this survival of the fittest?"
"Why doesn't it count?" Zhou Wenpu said, "Don't talk about it, just talk about Dabi in a few days." Only 400 people have to be selected out of 5,000 tribute students, is this the survival of the fittest? And these tribute students, all of them were killed from the local test, which one did not step on the same column of ten or twenty under his feet? Speaking of officials, there are nearly 30,000 people in the world who have entered the martial arts, how many people can be promoted to the court? How many people can enter the two provinces? ”
Zong Ze's brows furrowed, Zhou Wenpu's words were exactly that kind of extreme statement. But this statement can be corroborated with facts.
Especially among officials and candidates, this feeling is the deepest. Hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as scholars who want to become bureaucrats, want to step up step by step, and they have to step on the heads of more people. Those who can't adapt are all eliminated.
"In that case, the old and new laws are also ordinary?"
"Of course. There are times when the old law is a new law, and after how many years the new law is implemented, it will become the old law, and it will eventually be replaced by people who are not in line with it. ”
"It shouldn't be too early, right?" Zong Ze said with a smile. Zhou Wenpu's bias has become more and more obvious since he bought a dog for a test.
"If you are not in your position, you are not in charge, when the new law will be replaced, it is not something we can say, but everyone can say it through history. The understanding of scripture and history is beyond the reach of Wen Pu and Rulin. Presumably, Ru Lin will not be unclear, since Confucius, how many times has the commentary of the Five Classics changed? ”
Zong Ze sighed.
The old and new party struggles may have become a thing of the past, and as Han Gang entered the political hall, the controversy between Xinxue and Qi Science became more and more fierce among these scholars.
The sound of shouting was heard in the distance, which made the endless flow of pedestrians and horses have a brief pause.
Zong Ze raised his head, which important minister blocked the road in front?
……………………
Han Gang left his children to live at his grandfather's house for a few days, and returned home with Wang Yi first.
Leaving children is mainly to ease the relationship with Wang Anshi. After all, it is an in-laws, and it can't become an enemy.
But as soon as I got home, I saw an urgent report from the government office in the study.
Urgent reports like this that are sent to Zaifu's house overnight are usually military information, and this time is no exception.
It is a war report about the Liao army in Japan, as well as a document calling for help.
In winter, it is difficult to get to Japan by sea. The sea was rough and windy, and it was difficult for messengers to deliver messages. Although after the Liao invaded Goryeo and Japan, the court and the court were saying that the development of sea ships needed to be strengthened, but it was not urgent, and the better sea ships could be conjured up by the imperial court's words?
Although it was the beginning of spring, it was the messenger who risked his life to pass through the sea with high winds and waves to deliver the news from the island to the mainland.
Han Gang unfolded the official document sealed with fire paint, looked at it, and began to shake his head.
The Liao invaded the Japanese state too quickly, and the Japanese army behaved a little too incompetently.
The constant earthquakes in Japan caused greater disturbance to the Liao army than the Japanese army.
Thirty years of peace made the Song army beat the party like a dog. Peace in Japan lasted for 300 years. During this period, there was also a civil war in Japan, but the low level of civil strife did not contribute to the improvement of its external combat effectiveness at all.
Regardless of technology, equipment, and tactics, they are all completely behind the world.
There is also a legend that there was a ban on meat in Japan, and many men did not eat meat for the rest of their lives. In terms of personal combat effectiveness, the Japanese people are far from being able to compete with the Liao people who were raised with meat and milk.
Just a month earlier, Heiankyo had been captured by the Liao army, and the entire city had been completely burned down.
The prosperity that had only been accumulated over the course of three hundred years was reduced to ashes in the flames.
Once an aggressor, Han Gang understood. The slaughter of a city is not brutality, its purpose is destruction. The center of destruction, the country lacking a leader, will soon be subdued.
If all literate leadership could be swept away, Japan would cease to exist as an independent country.
If Han Gang is asked to give the Liao people a move, it will probably be a copy of what he did in Jiaozhi.
If the Liao State successfully annexed Japan, perhaps in a few years, the Song army would not only face the Khitan iron cavalry, but also face the infantry mainly composed of Japanese and Goryeo people.
However, Han Gang doesn't care too much now.
The invasion of Japan by the Liao State could keep the Song-Liao border peaceful for at least a few years.
The Great Song Dynasty was also funding the rebel armies of Goryeo and Japan to delay the Liao's complete control of Goryeo and Japan.
And most importantly, on Tamna Island, the Star Lord of Tamna has already offered land to the Great Song Dynasty and asked for annexation.
Although I am sorry for the exiled Goryeo monarchs. However, the relationship between countries must have similar strength in order to be respected. Before the fall of Goryeo, because China needed them to contain the Liao State, they were willing to make peace with them at any cost
With the overseas territory of Tamna Island, the Great Song Dynasty's control over the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea reached a new level.
The decisive battle between Song and Liao is not only on land, but also at sea in the future.
