In the early morning, Han Gang had already moved his muscles and bones, his whole body was steaming, and the short coat he was wearing was soaked with hot sweat. The clothes that clinged to his body outlined his angular body, making him look stronger and stronger.

At this time, the sun had come out, and the pale golden morning glow sprinkled all over the backyard of the Baima County Ya. Taking the sweat towel handed over by Yun Niang, Han Gang wiped his sweat and went to the bathroom specially opened in the courtyard. Inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found that the two plum trees in the courtyard that had grown leaves had small reflections. As soon as his footsteps stopped, he turned around and walked over, and when he looked closely, he found that on the branches and leaves of the two plum blossoms, there were crystal clear dew drops.

The discovery of jewel-like dewdrops on the leaf surface made Han Gang overjoyed. After eight or nine months of dry weather, it finally got a little humid, and I didn't notice it a few days ago. Thinking about it again, the sky was indeed cloudy and overcast in the past two days. It looks like the drought has begun to turn around, and it may rain in a few days.

Han Gang was going to Jingzhong today, and he saw the hope of rain, and his mood before departure was much better.

Rinse yourself and go back to your room. Last night, Yun Niang and Zhou Nan helped him tidy up his bags, as well as a change of clothes, and now Zhou Nan opened the package again, sat on the edge of the bed, and saw if there was anything missing.

Su Xin led the two little maids into the room with today's breakfast, and said with a smile while stretching out: "It may be raining soon." The leaves of the plum in the courtyard are full of dew today. ”

Zhou Nan lowered his head, hesitated whether to put it in with an inner robe, and replied casually: "I didn't care about it a few days ago, and I forgot to take care of the flowers and trees in the yard." I only remembered it yesterday, so I asked Mowen to water the water, and most of it was hung out after getting water. ”

Yan Suxin sighed, and Han Gang also frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, probably because he had watered it.

But then think about it, it's true that the weather has changed, and although it's still sunny today, there are still clouds in the sky, and the rainy day should not be far away. Once it rains, all the blame can be left behind.

Wang Yi also got up early, and the two nurses in the back hugged Han Gang's pair of children and walked in together. The family gathers together.

The pregnancy period entered the fourth month, and Wang Yi's happy situation finally stopped suddenly after a certain day, and the plump waist could see signs of pregnancy, and the action became a little difficult.

"Official, now that he has been transferred, are you going to move out of Lu from here?" Wang Yi sat down and asked Han Gang.

"No," Han Gang shook his head and smiled, pinching his son's little face who was sleeping soundly, "It's good to live in peace." After two days, the plaque outside was changed, and this is the yamen of the prefecture. ”

The current Baima County Ya was originally the Huazhou Prefecture Ya, and the old Baima County Ya was sealed, and there was originally a plan to change it into a temple or a Taoist temple, and Han Gang also had the idea of changing it to the Confucian Temple and placing the county school inside. It's just that it hasn't had time to be implemented, and now it's just right for the new Hakuma Prefecture to move back. You can't let him live in a small house in the prefecture, and the county governor lives in a compound.

In addition, the relocation of the yamen is complicated, and another prefecture boundary mention, to be precise, should be called Tongti - because it is a military position, so it is necessary to add a same character to indicate that it is half a step lower than the civilian position - it should not be moved to Baima County for the time being. Moreover, colleagues from the military profession have no qualifications to compete with themselves. As long as he Han Gang is still in Baima County, this courtyard can live with peace of mind.

After having dinner with his family and settling down on the affairs of Baima County, Han Gang got on a stagecoach and went straight to the capital with seven or eight retinues.

……………………

Han Gang galloped all the way with the help of a stagecoach, more than a hundred miles, and it was completed in one day. When the group arrived in the capital, it was just before the city gate was closed.

After entering the city, Han Gang did not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Wang Anshi, but first went to Xuande Gate to register and wait for the right entry, and then went to the Chengnan Post House to settle down - the officials who entered Beijing and waited for the pilgrimage were inconvenient to visit relatives and friends. If he is an envoy who has been ordered to go abroad for inspection, he will not even be able to return home after returning to Beijing, and he must wait for the order to be paid before he can go back.

However, Han Gang can't go to Wang Anshi's mansion, which doesn't mean that Wang Anshi can't send someone to see him. sent an entourage to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report, and by the way, booked a private room in a quiet restaurant near the post house. At the time of the first shift, Wang Yan, who had changed into civilian clothes, walked in.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Wang Yan was very enthusiastic. As soon as he entered the door, he stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Yukun." ”

Han Gang shook his head and smiled: "If it is a clear position, it is worthy of the word congratulations." Today's government is a little bit of a job, but it is a hard-working job, and the younger brother doesn't know where the joy comes from. ”

Wang Yan looked at Han Gang deeply, not knowing if he was telling the truth or joking. Said tentatively: "Now in Kaifeng Mansion, except for Sun Fuyin, it is Yukun's turn for you." Others are all suffering and suffering before they can rise step by step, but Yukun, you are the opposite. ”

"At the beginning, the Son of Heaven intended to let Sima Junshi raise the two rivers for service, I don't know what Lu Gongshu said?"

Wang Yan's smile finally retracted.

The Yellow River has broken many times since the Qingli of Renzong four years later, and the downstream section separates the east flow and the north flow into the sea respectively, so it is called the Ergu River. In the first year of Xining, the Yellow River burst its banks again, and the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji intended to fill the north stream and divert the water to the east. Sima Guang was previously ordered to inspect the situation of the Ergu River, and after he came back, he also made a lot of comments, so it was natural for the Son of Heaven to let him serve as the 'Duda Lift and Repair the Second Unit'.

However, in the imperial history, Cheng Lu Gongshu said, 'The imperial court sent light to look at the directors, not so to praise the near post and treat the Confucian ministers. Let Sima Guang preside over the work service, this is not the reason to treat the close Confucian ministers. According to Lu Gong's book, Confucian ministers have the right to speak, but have no obligation to do practical things.

Han Gang seemed to be complaining, but Wang Yan would never lose in his mouth: "If Yukun can be a close Confucian minister, he can stay away from such complicated affairs." Now that he has been promoted to the government realm, isn't it one step closer to Sima Twelve's position back then? ”

Han Gang Ha Lu smiled, "It's just a joke, Yuan Ze doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

"Those who can work harder." Wang Yan said obediently, "Now only Yukun can appease the displaced people in Hebei." ”

"It's a false praise, the little brother doesn't dare to be it." Han Gang bowed his hand and didn't take it seriously.

Wang Yan fixed his mind and asked Han Gangdao, "Yukun, I don't know how many displaced people there are in Baima County today?" ”

"Isn't the number of displaced people reported by me every day? There's nothing fake in it. Han Gang said, "As of yesterday, it was more than 64,400. Now it's estimated that it's almost sixty-eight. Before the number of displaced people exceeded 100,000, the younger brother's previous preparations were still able to support. But if it is over 100,000, with the power of Baima County, there is nothing to be done. His expression turned serious: "There is not much time, so the junior brother is going to take over the post of Fujie within seven or eight days." ”

………………

Early the next morning, Han Gang changed into court clothes and entered the palace to attend the court meeting. However, he did not participate in the big daily life of hundreds of officials every five days, but only the regular court where ordinary court officials went every day, and the Son of Heaven did not show up, and was only escorted by the prime minister. They saluted the empty couch and dispersed.

But Han Gang did not leave, he had been informed that he could go to the temple today. Together with other court officials who were also waiting for the pilgrimage, they stayed in the cabinet gate and waited for the end of the deliberations of the important ministers in the inner hall.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see a rumor in the palace. It wasn't until almost noon that someone came to him, but it wasn't Ban Zhi sent by the Son of Heaven, but Wang Yan.

"What's going on?" Han Gang looked at Wang Yan's face and asked immediately after coming out of the pavilion door.

Wang Yan's eyebrows tightened: "Someone wrote a letter of impeachment last night, and today the Son of Heaven took that bullet to question Jia Yan." It is said that there is a great drought in Fangjin, the people are worried, and they are afraid of death and flee to the north and south. He also said that foreign enemies were reckless and dared to insult the monarchy, and all Chinese and foreign ministers assisted His Majesty and did not use Taoism to ......"

This kind of saliva has never been less in the past, Han Gang was surprised by Wang Yan's nervousness, "Who is the book for?" Han Ji-gyu? Tomiyakoko? Or Wen Kuanfu? ”

Wang Yan said ruthlessly: "It's Zheng Xia who came to the door from the prison guard!" He also said in the recital that there are nearly 100,000 displaced people in Baima County, and they are blocked by Yukun to accept the order of the prime minister, and they are not allowed to arrive in Beijing to Mu Huang's grace. ”

Han Gang didn't get angry when he heard this. There are many things that the imperial historians have hearsay, and there are many things where Wenchen writes chapters based on rumors, and a prison official said that the homeless people in Baima County are not special at all. But there is one thing that makes people very strange: "Just a prison officer, just choosing people, how did he hand the chapter directly to the desk of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Except for the special request of the Son of Heaven, even if it is a court official's recital, it must be transferred by the Zhongshu or the Privy Council, not to mention the selection of such a despicable petty official. If it weren't for this rule, the Chongzheng Hall would have been buried long ago with snowflakes flying in it. So Han Gang was a little puzzled, how did Zheng Xia's recital show Zhao Ji saw it, and there was still a black hand behind.

"It's Ma Hand!" Han Gang heard the sound and looked over, and Lu Huiqing actually walked over with a calm face.

The Great Song Dynasty Palace is like a dilapidated house with holes on all sides in terms of news, Wang Anshi is still being questioned by the Son of Heaven in the palace, and Lu Huiqing has already found out the news: "Zheng Xia wrote a few days ago to no avail, so he disguised the chapter as a border urgent report, and sent it directly into the palace from the Tongjin Yintai Division through the horse. ”

"Even so, it won't make the Son of Heaven deeply responsible, a little prison officer, how can he make the Son of Heaven believe what he said." Han Gang pondered for a moment, "Anmen is the south gate, and Zhong Yuan said last time he came back that there are only two thousand displaced people by the Cai River, so they should have been settled now, right?" ”

Lu Huiqing sighed, "It's not just a chapter, but also a picture of the homeless." ”
