Chapter 41: Danger and Desire (Part II)

In front of the Hanfu family temple, Han Gang stood to the west, dressed in a scarlet robe, with a sable crown on his head, dressed like a great court, but there was no wat board.

The groom Han Cheng is also wearing a court dress, Zhu Yi and Zhu Shang, which is his wedding dress. The world is a heavy official, and ordinary people will borrow an official uniform to wear when they get married, not to mention that Han Cheng is a genuine official.

According to the etiquette, after worshipping the ancestors in the family temple, Han Cheng came to Han Gang and knelt on the ground.

"Go to Ying'er, inherit my sect, be respectful, and if so, there will be constant."

"No, I'm afraid I'm unbearable, I don't dare to forget my life."

The father and the son answered one-on-one, and Han Cheng bowed up again and said to Han Gang, "My lord, my son is gone." ”

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy Lang is handsome and tall, and when he sees him, it is as if he saw himself twenty years ago.

Han Gang smiled with relief, "Go quickly, don't delay the auspicious time." ”

Champion Jockey Club.

More than 30 members are hard to get neat.

Normally, even if it is the New Year's Day competition, two-thirds of them can be gathered, and there are three invitations and four invitations. After all, the identities of some of them are very sensitive, and in order to avoid people's opinions, they can't act casually, so as not to invite unwarranted disasters.

But today, only one invitation was needed, and except for two people who were too sick to come, the rest of the members, without exception, rushed to attend this special meeting.

At this meeting, however, most people were silent, and only a few appeared to be overly active.

"The Queen Mother is poisoned, this is the prescription prescribed by the Imperial Medical Bureau to the Queen Mother today. It's already been seen, and this is the recipe for detoxifying the poison of the hook kiss. ”

"Hook kiss?"

"In Shen Shumi's "Pen Talk", it is called Broken Intestine Grass."

Several cases were beaten hard, and a loud sound arose with a heavy drink, "Killing father and mother, this evil animal!" ”

Everyone knows that among the great inside, only the emperor and the concubine have a reason to poison the queen mother.

"The Son of Heaven has no way, our clan relatives, can An bend his knees and be a lone husband?"

"But Han Sanxiang still wants to protect the Son of Heaven. Several medical officers saw it, but they just pressed him down, and said that they were exhausted? Who is exhausted and has to sleep all day without waking up? ”

"He wants to protect his father, and he wants to protect his mother. Did he give birth to that animal?! ”

The three or four of you said a word, and the tone of the voice became higher and higher, as if it was not enough, not enough to express their anger at the Son of Heaven. But the others were silent, judging, waiting.

Finally, someone jumped on the stage of a one-man show and gave up his identity as a spectator.

"Yihou, twenty-seven observations, please calm your anger." A slow voice rang out.

The speaker sat in the corner, old and thin. The eyelids are half drooping and half raised, and it is impossible to tell whether they are asleep or awake. In his right hand, he held a string of black jade bracelets, and when he spoke, his fingers were still playing with the prayer beads.

"I don't know what You Gong has to say?"

"I don't dare to be, it's just that the old man wants to ask, is it true that the Queen Mother was poisoned by the hook kiss that the Marquis of Fang Cai said was hooked?"

"Of course it is."

"But the news that the old man heard was a little different from what Yihou said."

“…… I wonder what You Gong heard? ”

"I heard that the Queen Mother's violent illness last night didn't seem to be poisoned, but by the officials."

"Where did You Gong know?!"

There was a little more smile in the old man's voice: "Seventeen rooms of the East Mansion." ”

Poisoning, being angry, this is completely the reason for not having anything in common - no, there are still two things in common, and that is the identity of the perpetrator and the victim.

Whether it's right or wrong, or both, no one cares.

Now, everyone in the hall understands that the point is not here.

A good woman and two families are fighting, and they are robbing business.

……………………

sent his son away, and the subordinates came up to clean up the family temple, and Han Gang also went into the house to change clothes.

The ceremony in the house is over, and when Han Cheng welcomes the bride back, except for the guests at the banquet, there is nothing to do with him next.

In the Han Mansion, it was bustling, and it was almost dusk, and male and female guests came one after another.

Although the Queen Mother was violently ill and the state affairs were worried, Han Gang's momentum was prominent, but it was impossible for him to suddenly become disgusted because of the Queen Mother's illness.

There was a presiding officer outside, and Wang Yi inside, Han Gang returned to the small study first and rested for a while.

Although he could only sleep for an hour, when Han Gang was on duty in the political hall, although he slept at night, he slept very lightly, and he was always on his mind, and he didn't sleep well at all, which could be regarded as making up for sleep.

Han Gang has always been energetic, and it doesn't matter if he only sleeps for two hours a day for many days in a row. No matter how sleepy you are, a quarter of an hour or two of rest can also lift your spirits. Take a break now, and when you entertain guests later in the evening, you won't be looking sluggish.

"Official, are you still sleeping?" Zhou Nan asked, walked into the room lightly, and brought a food box.

"What is it?" Han Gang sat up from the recliner.

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "I know that the officials didn't eat lunch, so let the soup cakes made in the kitchen." ”

Han Gang returned home, hurriedly changed into court clothes, and took his son to the family temple. I didn't drink a sip of water, and I didn't have time to eat. The soup cake sent by Zhou Nan was just right, and he just slept peacefully after eating.

"Are you busy in the back?"

"There is a sister presiding, the officials don't have to worry, the officials should rest first." Zhou Nan took the dishes and chopsticks out of the food box, "It's the official who made my sister worried." When the official hadn't come back before, my sister sent someone to ask every three to five minutes, and she was so anxious that her face turned white. ”

"Fortunately, Pingzhang Mansion is close, otherwise it would have been a mistake in the auspicious time." Han Gang sighed.

……………………

In the secret room, only a few people get together.

The faint candle flame failed to illuminate the small room, only casting a few fangs and claws on the walls.

"There are already rumors outside that the Queen Mother fell ill because she was poisoned."

"Why did I hear the news that said: The Queen Mother was sick by the Son of Heaven?"

"Someone else told me that it was not the Son of Heaven who poisoned the Queen Mother, it was the concubine. He also said that the concubine was poisoned, and she was the son of man, and she couldn't stop seeing her biological mother kill her mother, and the Son of Heaven couldn't be without fault. ”

"This generation has a vicious mind!"

"What Qianfu pointed to, died without a problem. and imputed the sin of falsehood to the body of the Son of Heaven. Killing his father and rebelling against his mother, can the Son of Heaven be able to firmly occupy the throne? This generation is really hateful! ”

"Zhang and Han Er's thieves have been worried for many years, isn't it just for today?"

The dispute between the monarch and the minister has been dormant for many years, and the rift between the Son of Heaven and the prime minister has been well known to the courtiers. The struggle between the two, even if it does not happen now, will happen in the future, and this is well recognized by people of insight.

"But the news from the palace that the imperial doctor diagnosed the queen mother as overworked, and she was diagnosed in front of the two thieves Han and Zhang, so we don't have to worry about the two thieves using rumors to plot the Son of Heaven."

"How can there be no reason for nothing? Rumors are swarming, if it is not from Zhang Han, it must be related to the clan. ”

"This generation is not to be afraid, but those who can be worried are only the two thieves of Zhang Han."

"It's a pity that I didn't prepare early, and the queen mother's illness was a little more abrupt, otherwise take advantage of the opportunity for the Han family to get married today and the henchmen are all in one place, as long as you enter the palace to invite a holy decree and mobilize soldiers and horses, Han Gang can be destroyed with a raise. At that time, it will be difficult for Zhang Dan to scream alone, and he can only wait for death. ”

"It's a pity that it's too late to ask for the Holy Decree...... It would be nice if the marriage of the son of the Han thief was delayed for half a month. ”

"A month later, Han Fu married a daughter ......"

……………………

In the morning, Han Gang and Zhong Zaifu entered the palace to inquire about the Queen Mother's condition, and the Queen Mother was still asleep, but her complexion had improved.

Zhao Xu was unkempt, served in front of the queen mother's bed, and stayed awake all night. Seeing that the Zai Fu were all here, there was no reaction, but when he heard the news that Su Songyu had issued a document informing the court that he would drop out of the dynasty for five days from today, his face changed a little.

Su, Zhang, and Han all turned a blind eye, and none of the other auxiliary ministers came out to accuse the three. As long as the Queen Mother's condition has not been confirmed, no one will put their net worth on the top of the bosses, who are already in high positions.

After coming out of the forbidden, Han Gang handed over everything to Zhang Dian and the others, and hurried home, but it was still a little late, and he almost delayed the auspicious time for his son to welcome his family.

Han Gang happily ate the soup cake - that is, the noodles of the later generations - Zhou Nan heard someone talking outside, and after going out for a while, he turned around and came in and said to Han Gang, "The second uncle of the Li family has sent someone here, official, do you want to recruit him in?" ”

Han Gang lowered his head and drank a sip of hot soup, ignoring Confucius's proverb of 'don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep', "If you ask if you want to be on duty tonight, let him go back and say that he can come to the banquet with peace of mind." ”

"The slave family knows."

Zhou Nan went out to spread the word, and when he came in again, Han Gang had already finished his belated lunch, wiped his mouth with a hand towel, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Not worried?" ”

Zhou Nan snuggled into Han Gang's arms and said in a low voice: "Back then, the official was not even a jinshi, so he welcomed the slave family home, and now he is the prime minister, what else do the slave family have to worry about?" ”

"That's right, there's no need to worry." Han Gang's hands tightened, and he hugged this warm and soft delicate body in his arms.

"If the emperor is smart, he will not act rashly, wait patiently, wait for the queen mother to become immortals, and wait for the logical pro-government. At most, it will be a little stumbling block for the husband, so that the world can remember his identity. ”

……………………

It's still the same secret room as before, but there are only two people left in the secret room.

"Bachelor, what we just discussed is very inappropriate, why should I take such a risk?"

"Oh, why?"

"As long as the Queen Mother is seriously ill and cannot be a director, the Son of Heaven will be justified in listening to the government. After a while, as long as one person writes to urge the Queen Mother to withdraw the curtain and return to politics, the court will definitely obey the wind. ”

"When?"

"Isn't Emperor Renzong just waiting? The distinction between monarchs and ministers is enough to weaken the power of ministers. The power of the weak ministers can determine the distinction between the monarch and the minister. Taizu released the military power with a glass of wine back then, how could he ever use it? Since Zhang Han and the two thieves both admitted that the Queen Mother was just overworked, then they didn't dare to rashly do what Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo did, why couldn't the Son of Heaven wait? ”

“…… You must know that there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. Now that Su Zhanghan and the three of them have dropped out of the dynasty with Tang Za, they have already thrown stones to ask for directions, and when they wait for time, their arrogance will be more prosperous, and they may not dare to abolish the Son of Heaven. ”

"Bachelor, it's the right time today. If His Majesty can give a decree to Han Gang's son and let Han Gang kneel, why can't he suppress his arrogance? ”

……………………

The bright moon hangs high, and the wedding that began at dusk will come to an end, sending a couple into the cave room, and Han Gang comes out to toast to the male guests.

The house was full of high-ranking friends, and most of the high-ranking officials and eunuchs in the court gathered here. But what was originally a scene full of voices became silent at this time.

Coming with the Son of Heaven's message, Yang Jian trembled in front of Han Gang and said in a trembling voice, "...... Messire...... This ......"

He didn't even dare to look at Han Gang's face, he lowered his head and looked at the Han family courtyard full of all kinds of gifts from Ouchi.

Passing the queen mother and giving things to the courtiers is a trivial matter, but it is the beginning of asking the government.

Han Gang didn't hesitate for too long, and he didn't think that it would hurt his face to salute for this, Zhao Xu's appearance was indeed a little beyond expectations, but it was not enough to shake his prestige.

"Minister Hangang, thank God."

Han Gang led the whole family to worship together, and the faint smile on his face made Yang Jian shudder.

He was a person close to the Queen Mother, and he was named by Han Gang the day before yesterday and left the palace with a medical case. Now he is targeted by the Son of Heaven and sent him to embarrass the prime minister.

offended Han Gang, and when he went back, he still couldn't see the Son of Heaven, and when the Queen Mother woke up, he wouldn't stay by his side anymore.

Yang Jian understood that the Son of Heaven was going to put him to death. In this case, it is better not to do it at all.

Yang Jian gritted his teeth, and then faced a face full of joy, in front of the Han Mansion, as well as the guests inside and outside, he announced loudly,

"The villain still has a happy event to repay to the public, fortunately with the blessing of the ancestors, the queen mother just woke up, drank the medicine and fell asleep."

The hall was in an uproar, and Han Gang finally raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Yang Jian, which was really unexpected.
