After the war, there was still a celebratory atmosphere in Kiev, but the grassroots personnel were not so lucky, all kinds of work had to be done by them, Hao Kang waited for two days before he had the opportunity to go to the grassroots to investigate.

"Can you ask for a receipt when you wait for the food to be distributed?" Hao Kang tried to ask calmly.

The grassroots official opposite showed a sincere smile, and then asked, "What is the receipt?" ”

Hao Kang was stunned. His heart was anxious, and his eyes became sharp. This natural appearance made several women nearby cast admiring glances at Hao Kang. When he was in the Great Song Dynasty, Hao Kang was still relatively tanned. The intensity of sunlight in Kiev is not as strong as that of the Great Song Dynasty, and after more than half a year, Hao Kang's delicate skin has regained its fair color. Makes him look more handsome.

If you don't have a mirror, you'll never see what you look like. Hao Kang had long been accustomed to the admiring eyes of others, and at this time he just felt irritable in his heart. Holding back his dissatisfaction, Hao Kang explained the receipt. The one who seemed to understand continued to say honestly: "Prince, the top asked us to send things, and the people came and went so that we were dizzy, where are the receipts." ”

Another confiscation of receipts. Hao Kang felt that his last hope had come to naught. After asking so many grassroots and middle and low levels, all of them said that things were urgent and they didn't have time to make receipts. There are also such things that you don't even know what the receipt is.

The whole person was in such a situation, Hao Kang didn't even bother to get angry. The previous outbursts made the middle and low-level officials show aggrieved expressions. Others cried in public. This unproductive performance made Hao Kang shy for them. It's just a woman crying and crying, what are the old men crying!

And at this time, Hao Kang was more self-blaming and panic in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to entangle others. didn't know what he said in the end, Hao Kang walked away in a huff. When he got home, Hao Kang went straight to the backyard, first came to the sandbag in the training field behind him with his bare hands, felt that his hands hurt, and then put on his fist gloves and beat him hard. When the fire dissipated, he was sweating profusely, and he sat under the eaves a little exhausted and panting.

The guards looked at Hao Kang and seemed to be discouraged, so he reported: "Prince, He Shilang is here." ”

"What is he doing here?" Hao Kang asked angrily.

"He said he'd come and deliver the materials."

The word information stimulated Hao Kang again, and he was only angry after reading the information. According to the records, the grain and grass provided by the imperial court are enough for more than 400,000 people. The number of registered Qinwang personnel is only about 150,000, and the difference in the number makes all Hao Kang's previous joy come to naught. That's a three-fold difference, three times!

Seeing that Hao Kangliang was silent for a long time, the guard asked tentatively: "Prince, why don't I let him go back first?" ”

"Leave the information behind." Hao Kang said. After finishing speaking, he regretted it again, and simply said, "Let He Kun come in." ”

He Kun looked very calm, and didn't say much after handing over the information, quietly waiting for Hao Kang to speak. Hao Kang suddenly remembered that when he defeated the Kipchak Khanate, He Kun was almost like this. He couldn't help but have some inexplicable expectations for He Kun in his heart. He asked: "He Shilang, the information sent by the Ministry of Finance does not seem to match the number of sign-ins below." ”

"The Ministry of Finance has taken out all the information, and the data is correct." He Kun replied calmly.

"There is so much difference in the middle, but I don't know who took it away."

"The Ministry of Finance only has to hand over things to the departments in charge below, and we can't control how they use them." He Kun still had a calm expression.

Looking at the bureaucrat's expression, the already low anger in Hao Kang's heart rose again, and he asked angrily, "Don't you really know?" ”

"Prince, we can't control other people's ......"

"Didn't you hear anything from me?"

"The prince has to go to the Ministry of Finance to inquire about this." He Kun still replied with a bureaucratic attitude.

"That's it! Go down! Hao Kang said with some despair.

He Kun looked at Hao Kang's expression and asked calmly, "Why didn't the prince ask the king?" ”

"Huh!" Hao Kang was amused, and found out that this huge gap was an order given by his father Hao Ren, and asked him what his father was for.

He Kun looked at Hao Kang's appearance and couldn't help but think of his experience when he was young, and he continued to persuade: "Prince." If you don't know what the king wants you to do, and you do it with a few words, I'm afraid you will misunderstand the king's mind. Since the prince has visited many places and asked many people, why not ask the king for advice? ”

"I ......" Hao Kang wanted to say but stopped.

"Prince, people are not born to know. Those illiterate Mongolians feel that all the advantages are given by immortality, and the prince returned from a study tour in the Great Song Dynasty, do they still believe in these things? ”

Hao Kang was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand it, but instinctively wanted to refuse such persuasion. After struggling inwardly, Hao Kang tried to confide in He Kun. "If I go to see the king like this, I am afraid that the king will think it is useless."

"The king was out on a campaign, and suddenly a strong enemy came to attack the royal capital, and the prince led the army and people to annihilate the thief army in one fell swoop. Let the Yuan country be powerful in the world, and the officials, the military and the people all know that the prince is wise and powerful, how can the prince feel that he is useless. As for the king's commands, the prince has also gone out to search, instead of being self-righteous. This is what only a wise man can do, and the prince went to ask the king for help at this time, and the king did not say anything, but his heart must be happy. If the prince is said a few words by the king, it is a family affair of the king, who dares to put a beak in the ministers? ”

“…… Come on, serve tea to He Shilang! Hao Kang shouted to the guards. After shouting, Hao Ren said very politely: "Please ask He Shilang to talk in the study." ”

Both of them are smart people, and their respective meanings are clear. Some of the vanity in the middle was omitted, and when the tea was served, Hao Kang personally picked it up and handed it to He Kun, after He Kun thanked him, Hao Kang asked: "He Shilang, I have been away from home for many years to study abroad, and I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety in front of the king." Seeing that the Yuan Kingdom was so prosperous, his heart was even more uneasy. If you want to govern the country to such a point, the king must be exhausted. However, He Shilang also knows the king's temperament and never wants to brag. So I would like to ask He Shilang to talk about the experience of Yuanguo over the years. ”

Hao Kang faced a sudden attack on the strong enemy this time, although many of his methods seemed jerky and debatable, but they made He Kun feel that Hao Kang was not a coward. Since Hao Kang's question was not stupid, and He Kun also intended to make friends, he told Hao Kang about the development of the Yuan Kingdom in recent years and some factions in the court.

During the conversation, He Kun was surprised to hear that Hao Kang was able to understand the situation of the Yuan Kingdom very quickly, and he felt that he had made the right choice. What Hao Kang lacks now is experience, and his ability to see and understand is quite good.

Hao Kang was not so conscious, he just felt that the Yuan Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty were similar. In the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guan's family were the sun in the sky, and the surrounding stars and moons could not compete with it at all. Hao Ren also has the same status in the Yuan Kingdom, as the founder of the Yuan Kingdom, Hao Ren is the lord of the country.

In particular, Hao Ren comprehensively imitated the Great Song Dynasty system, only the Yuan Kingdom could not do it, and there was no Hao Ren who did not copy the Great Song Dynasty. Hao Kang spent a lot of time reading newspapers and publications such as "Da Song Daily" and "Da Song Journal" every day in Da Song Dynasty, and his understanding of many policies was not under He Kun. The more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Speaking of happiness, Hao Kang asked: "Brother He, brother, I'm just curious, who took those things." ”

He Kun almost said casually, 'Whoever doesn't let his family go to get a few copies is a sand sculpture', but he still didn't say it. Such things can be well known, and to say it is to isolate oneself from the ranks of officials. And He Kun also had doubts in his heart, he didn't know that asking Hao Kang to investigate such things was because Prince Hao Kang had annoyed King Hao Ren, so he gave King Hao Ren a lesson to Prince Hao Kang. Or King Hao Ren wants to teach many officials a lesson and let Hao Ren cut in.

No matter what the reason is, this is a private matter of the Heavenly Family, and it is not He Kun's turn to interject. After thinking for a moment, He Kun replied, "Prince, you have to ask the king about such things." The king's thoughts, we ministers can't guess. ”

Hao Ren thought for a while and said with a smile: "Brother He, I am also the king's courtier." ”

He Kun's eyes lit up, and he quickly calmed down again. This sentence is too level, and some people in the court just can't put themselves in the right position, so they are unlucky. In front of a lord like Hao Ren, no one should be pampered and arrogant. So He Kun suspected that Hao Kang's words were just talking.

Hao Kang, who is twenty years old, even if he has heard of this truth, he may not really be able to understand the difference between 'son' and 'prince'. The crown prince is a member of the state, and the person of the state is Hao Ren's courtier. Courtiers are not qualified to be coquettish to the monarch. The courtiers are coquettish to the monarch, and that has to be done when the monarch makes the courtiers coquettish, in order not to make the monarch angry, the courtiers are coquettish to complete the order. To understand this, you have to be thirty years old.

Seeing He Kun's cautious expression, Hao Kang put away his smile and said, "Thank you Brother He for explaining my doubts today, if Brother He is free, brother, I can invite Brother He to get together." ”

Seeing off He Kun, Hao Kang was in a mixed mood. He received a lot of education when he was in the Great Song Dynasty, so he had heard everything he should understand. At the time, I thought it was very inhumane, but it was true. I just had an understanding, but I didn't really try it. Hao Kang was worried that what he did was not in line with his father's wishes, but it was not beautiful.

Sitting there and meditating, I couldn't find the perfect way to do it. In the end, Hao Kang's heart was horizontal, and he took out the mentality that is said to have come from the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Guanjia, 'the ball is facing upwards when people die, and the ball is swaying around when they are not dead'. At most, he was scolded by his father, what else could he do! The hornet's nest that I poked myself, I listened to it when I was scolded.

Knowing that Hao Kang came to ask for a meeting, Hao Ren was in a complicated mood. Throwing such an embarrassing errand to Hao Kang, Hao Ren also felt that he was not so happy in his heart. The son is not biological, but the son is still the son. didn't want to pass the throne to Hao Kang, it wasn't that Hao Kang did anything wrong. And after a few days of cold silence, Hao Ren vaguely understood his thoughts. Hao Kang was able to make the right decision on his own, and Hao Ren was very uncomfortable in his heart. This has nothing to do with whether he has a biological son or not, and when he saw the young man's wings stiff, Hao Ren felt uncomfortable.

With such a mood, Hao Ren asked Hao Kang to come in. After the meeting, Hao Kang told Hao Ren about the results of his investigation. After speaking, Hao Kang asked: "Father, the matter has come to this, and the son wants to ask the father what the son will do next." ”

Originally, Hao Ren felt a little guilty in his heart, and when he heard this question, he immediately became angry. Could it be that Hao Kang saw that Hao Ren was making things difficult for him, so he couldn't force him to ask? Hao Ren asked coldly, "What do you want?" ”

Hao Kang immediately replied: "In the future, the sons can only obey the orders of their father, and the sons and daughters, as the courtiers of their fathers, cannot do anything to the officials." ”

From the words, it was clear that Hao Kang did not mean to be resentful, and Hao Ren was in a slightly better mood. If Hao Kang dares to make a move against the courtiers of the Yuan Kingdom, it will be a rebellion! After thinking about it, Hao Ren replied: "You made this matter, and you can't escape the blame!" ”

"Please also ask my father to punish him!" Hao Kang breathed a sigh of relief when he answered. If things can be closed, that's a great outcome. If he hangs here, Hao Kangke will not be a person inside and out.

"You...... Just take care of water conservancy matters first, and don't take care of other things! Hao Ren gave the order.

"Yes!" Hao Kang replied decisively.

Hao Ren put an end to the matter, looking at the back of Hao Kang leaving calmly, and there was another toss in his heart. Originally, he was worried that Hao Kang would take advantage of this credit to seek power, so he would have to beat this bastard well. However, Hao Kang calmly obeyed Hao Ren's orders, and all the preparations he had prepared before were useless. Such a response...... That's good. And his real eldest son, that is, the 'second prince' Hao Gui, didn't know who he had listened to, and he was shouting that he would lead the troops to crusade against the Kipchak Khanate and solve problems for Hao Ren, Hao Ren's heart was full of helplessness. In the affairs of adults, where is there room for children to intervene, and I don't know why Hao Gui is so confused.

What's next? Hao Ren sat on the throne and calculated. There are several ways to solve the problem, and the easiest way to deal with it is to tell Hao Kang that he is not his father. Then give Hao Kang a fief and let him set up his own door. In the past 20 years, Hao Kang has never had the slightest self-blame for robbing and cherishing the weak, and it is natural for the Mongols to do this. Even if this matter is spread, it will not hurt Hao Ren in the slightest.

If Hao Kang hadn't brought back Yang Tiexin's letter of 'Yang Tiexin's greetings to Bao Xi's weakness', of course it could have been solved in this way. Since Yang Tiexin and Hao Kang, the father and son, have met, it seems that there is a problem with such a solution.

If you don't tell Hao Kang the truth, you can also let Hao Kang go on his own. According to Mongolian rules, the eldest son is never required to inherit, in fact, the youngest son inherits the father's territory, and the other sons have to go out and set up their own doors. There is a ready-made opportunity in front of him, since the Kipchak Khanate and the Yuan State are torn apart, then directly seal Hao Kang to the territory of the original Kipchak Khanate. Let Hao Kang fight against the scum of the Kipchak Khanate. But Hao Kang has already shown his capable side, will something else happen if he does this?

After thinking of several plans, Hao Ren's eyes suddenly lit up and he had a plan. end
