Chapter 40: The Emperor's Dust and Clouds (6)

"That's exactly why." Han Gang nodded.

But more importantly, Han Gang has no intention of being a dog under the door. Dry Lu Huiqing first, and then speak in the future before you can be tough.

When Wang Anshi was there, he didn't bow down in front of Wang Anshi, and now which of the few people in the political hall is qualified to let him bow his head and run under the door? From the beginning of Han Gang's tenure as an official, even Wang Shao, who promoted him, would only regard him as an ally on the same road, and never regarded him as a guest.

The difference between sheltering a guest and recommending a talented person is too great.

Wang Shao recommended Han Gang, that is for the country, and even has the talent to ask for Han Gang. To put it more radically, after winning the official, Han Gang didn't have to thank him. But several of his disciples, such as Wei Pingzhen and Fang Xing, Han Gang recommended them as officials, and when they saw his son who was crazy outside, they all wanted to salute. Unless they can be admitted to the Jinshi in the future and become protégés of the Son of Heaven. Otherwise, this master-servant relationship will not be able to get rid of it for the rest of your life [Note 1].

That's the difference!

Although Han Gang is now an official, it is impossible to have any master-servant. But if he easily serves anyone in the political hall, whether it is Han Jiang or Lu Huiqing, as long as he is promoted by the two of them, if he turns his face in the future, then public opinion in the world will not care about right and wrong, but will only criticize him for betrayal.

And Han Gang knows better that Zhao Ji's trust in himself is because he has always been inseparable from the New Party. Otherwise, how could he convince the Son of Heaven who was angry because of the outcast? Because Zhao Ji thinks he is credible!

Now that the bell is not going to cast the bell, Han Gang is not so stupid!

However, although Han Gang didn't say this thought, Wang Bian was already very familiar with him, so how could he not see it. still has doubts: "If Yukun is not attached to anyone, I am afraid that you will become the target of public criticism in the court." ”

"Don't worry." Han Gang smiled nonchalantly, "The two ministers and two staff members in the political affairs hall, it's too late for infighting, how can you have time to deal with me?" ”

As long as he, Han Gang, did not officially step into the muddy waters, no matter which one of them in the political hall could not do too much. Even if the four of them are of the same heart, if they want to bring Han Gang to the court, they will have to pass the level of the Son of Heaven. And even if he passes the Son of Heaven level, he is just a state and county outside, and he can still be reprimanded? !

And if he Han Gang survives another term of qualifications, he will be able to go to the sub-prefecture-level state capital to serve as the prefect.

Qinzhou, Weizhou, and other big states that have to serve as pacification envoys along the way, may be a little worse, but they are definitely qualified to serve as important county border ministers with military positions such as rulers and capital supervisors. And in a few years, when he is thirty years old, even if he is the chief of the Luzhong Supervision Department, who can still suppress him Han Yukun and prevent him from entering the court? !

………………

"Even if you can press the point for three years and five years, can you still press the point for thirty years and fifty years?" Fang Xing sat by the window, glanced at the sleigh car gliding past the restaurant, and sighed. Turning back to the person sitting opposite, "If you really want to make a mortal enmity with Tidian, it's best to find a way out for your children and grandchildren first." ”

Wei Pingzhen nodded with deep feelings, and Fang Xing said what he thought in his heart—Han Gang's age advantage was so great that by now, it was so big that no one dared to make a mortal enmity with him for no reason.

Even in Luoyang, Daimyo, and Xiangzhou, they have not spoken specifically to Han Gang - although this can be explained by the fact that they do not take Han Gang seriously, Han Gang has placed hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Kaifeng Mansion in the past year, which can be said to have single-handedly stabilized the foundation of the new party. If it weren't for his efforts, Wang Anshi would not have been able to delay the autumn queen at all, and he would have to leave his post. Under such circumstances, Han, Fu, and Wen have not picked Han Gang out and removed him from power, and they don't see the way they scolded Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Dian back then.

Now those who really dare to get along with Han Gang are the stones in the thatched pit, and the officials who regard the thorns as serving the country and the people in the Yushi Tower. But those concerts only dared to say something, and they didn't see them deduce the topic, even if they accused Han Gang of moral problems, they also had reservations in their words, and they never offended Han Gang to death. Just like when Lu Zhi impeached Wang Anshi, no matter whether it was justified or not, he listed the ten major crimes first, and Han Gang did not appear once in the impeachment he received.

That's the advantage that age brings.

"There are also some talents and merits. It is not without court officials in their twenties, but no one can worry about the consequences of offending them. ”

The possibility of Han Gang entering the political hall in the future is much greater than that of several Hanlin scholars in the current academy.

If you can't beat Han Gang and his gang to death, and you can't get along with him now, it is equivalent to leaving a sworn enemy in a high position for your children and grandchildren, and you may be ruined. Unless there is a minister who is ready to go down in history, and he and his children and grandchildren are left behind, they may not be able to get along with Han Gang.

The two of them, plus You You, who is still supervising the students' homework in the county school, came to Beijing yesterday and the three of them have been confirmed to be officials. Although they are all just judges, they are all judges, but the official body is the official body.

For a liuguan official, how many years have the two worked hard, even if they followed the prime minister and the privy deputy envoy, they couldn't get their hands on it, and there were too many people competing for it. But with Han Gang, it was easy - no, thinking back on the hard work of the past year, their work must not be called easy, and the price they can pay can be rewarded, which is enough for Fang Xing and Wei Pingzhen.

Picking up the wine glass, the two drank to each other, looked at each other and smiled, their long-cherished wish was fulfilled, where could they not be ecstatic?

……………………

The door of the Chongzheng Hall slowly closed, and the cold wind blowing in from outside the hall was blocked from the outside of the hall.

The shaking firelight settled, but Zhao Ji's hand rubbing his forehead did not settle.

Several Zaifu had just left, and after talking about it, it was basically about personnel arrangements, which gave him a headache.

For the position of a Chinese scholar household to inspect the house, the four of them fought a little fiercely. Especially Lu Huiqing and Feng Jing, attacking each other's nominees, Han Jiang just took office yesterday and talked a little less.

Zhao Ji finally chose to support Lu Huiqing. He wants to maintain the stability of the new law and the government, so he will basically support Lu Huiqing. If Feng Jing and Wang Qi can't understand this, Zhao Ji doesn't mind changing to a more suitable opponent.

However, Zhao Ji believes that they can adjust it, after all, he has worked with Wang Anshi in the court for five or six years, and he should be used to it.

"Lan Yuanzhen." Zhao Ji called out to the ministers who were on duty today, "What is the situation of the displaced people in Beijing now?" ”

Lan Yuanzhen is in charge of the Imperial City Division, not only in the capital, but also the spies of the Imperial City Division, who have extended their eyes and ears to all counties in the capital, but they don't dare to step out of the boundaries of Kaifeng Mansion.

Lan Yuanzhen knew what Zhao Xuan wanted to hear, and immediately replied: "If you go back to the official's house, although Baima County still has to rely on the relief of the imperial court, the situation in the county is very good, the people are safe, the people's hearts are stable, and several homeless camps in the county are also peaceful. ”

"Needless to say, the affairs of Baima County, Han Gangfei is a talent of a hundred miles, and it is not surprising that he has done a good job."

Although Han Gang is no longer the county governor of Baima, he is still in charge of the affairs of Baima County. For more than half a year, Zhao Ji was worried that it would interfere with the resettlement of displaced people in Hangang, and he did not even send a magistrate to go over, but insisted on leaving the position of the governor of a large county in Gyeonggi vacant. Although this is also to resettle the displaced people, he Zhao Ji made an exception for this matter, and he also talked about it, and he treated Han Gang very well.

Lan Yuanzhen rarely heard the Son of Heaven praise an official so clearly, but when it came to Han Gang, it didn't surprise him: "Except for Baima County, the rest of the counties and towns in Kaifeng, the total number of displaced people is only five or six thousand, and they have all been resettled, so there will be no chaos. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, his expression relaxed a little, he didn't want to make trouble in front of the suburban ceremony. "The day before yesterday, I issued an order to recruit displaced people in Beijing to go to Xihe and Jinghu Tuntian, how many people have signed up now?"

"There are a large number of homeless people who are still staying in Beijing, whether they are going to Xihe Road or Jinghu. In three days, there were more than 1,000 households. Lan Yuanzhen knew what he said, and the Son of Heaven must have already known it from the recital of the Kaifeng Prefecture Jie Mention Division, and then went down and said, "These two thousand Hebei refugees are all voluntary, and none of them have been persecuted. ”

Zhao Ji raised his eyes and asked, "Uprooted, they are so relieved?" ”

"The homeless people all said that the edict had a bright red seal of the official family, and Xiao Han would not lie to them when he mentioned it."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly. How many years has he been the emperor, and he can still distinguish the truth from what his close ministers say to a certain extent. Lan Yuanzhen's previous sentence was just to make him happy, and the latter sentence was the truth, and he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied with Han Gang.

But Zhao Ji is not a son of heaven who will be jealous of his subordinates to win the hearts of the people, Han Gang Wenchen, how can it be enough to be troubled: "I have also heard that Bao Zheng was appointed to Kaifeng Mansion, and when he heard that he took office, everyone in Kaifeng was happy, and they all said that the Bao service system was coming, and the people of a city could live in peace and worry." It seems that Han Gang is not much worse than him. ”

"That's Your Majesty's discernment." Lan Yuanzhen spoke, not changing the flattering voice of the waiter.

But this is also what Zhao Ji likes to hear, and nodded: "Han Gang has indeed worked hard this year, if it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't have so many good night's sleep!" ”

He picked up a book of music from the imperial table, flipped through it casually, and sighed: "Feng Jing, Lu Huiqing, and Wang Qi are all sitting in Kaifeng City, and I can't imagine that it is better to see people in Han Jiang, who is north of the Yellow River." ”

Note 1: Once the master-servant relationship is decided, it really can't be washed off for a lifetime in ancient society. For example, Yue Fei later, he used to be a banker in the Han family in Xiangzhou in his early years, that is, a tenant, and after he became the commander of the unified army, the people who saw the Han family were also respectful.
