When I came out of the palace, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and countless stars were twinkling in the sky.

Riding on his horse and walking home, Han Gang was still thinking about the argument in the Chongzheng Palace.

The six people in the two mansions, Wang Qi, Yuan Jiang and Xue Xiang supported the capture of Xingling, and Lu Huiqing's attitude was ambiguous, but as long as Wang Qi was willing to make a compromise and exchange Lu Huiqing's support for the practical method, there was no difficulty. Only Lu Gongzhu and Guo Kui have the same opinion as themselves, hoping to be stable and not too impatient.

In terms of the proportion of people, the quick attack faction has an absolute advantage, and Zhao Ji is also obviously biased towards the former. If you count the ordinary courtiers in the court, the voice with a slow attack attitude can be completely ignored.

In Han Gang's view, with the current national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, he immediately sent troops to attack Western Xia and directly took Xingling, and the probability of success was sixty to seventy percent, and in the battle of annihilation, this probability was already high. Han Gang was not completely sure of leading the army south, and the probability estimated in advance was actually about six or seventy percent.

But on the other hand, Han Gang's strategy was adopted, and Yinxia and Lanzhou were taken first, and there was no hurry to attack Xingling. Through economic and political means, it took one to two years to slowly weaken the strength of Western Xia. If the official army is as strong as Mount Tai, it is very likely that the contradictions between the two factions divided in the Western Xia Kingdom will be eased and united with the outside world, but if it is slowed down and provoked by various means, the contradictions can erupt.

Scatter their hearts, divide their people, and defeat the Western Xia with the powerful comprehensive national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, the probability of success is nearly 100%, and do not take any risks at all. It is not the case to simply use the military to compete - in terms of politics, economy, and military, the military is the smallest, and the gap between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty is the smallest, and the Western Xia even has the possibility of defeating the official army by taking advantage of the geographical advantage.

Compared with the two, the latter is naturally more secure. It's just that some people are worried that if they don't seize this opportunity, they will make Liaoxia and Xiaxia feel relieved, so Zhao Ji can't listen to it...... It can't be helped.

Han Gang could not guarantee that the Liao State and the Western Xia would not soon pacify the civil strife, he could only guarantee that the Great Song Dynasty could suppress the Liaoxia two countries that had gone through the civil strife. Cultivating national strength is the simplest and most effective way to overwhelm opponents. It's a pity that the Son of Heaven disagrees.

I can only watch from the sidelines, hoping that it won't fall into the starting point that no one wants to see.

Back at home, the craftsmen had already left, taking the tools with them, but the materials were still in the courtyard.

Han Gang asked people to pick up lanterns to look at the patterns on the wall.

I saw that there was already a five-pointed star in the lower left corner. Under the firelight, it is impossible to distinguish the color, but the dark tone of the porcelain should be red. But the problem is that it's not just the lower left corner, but the four corners of the wall that are all patched with the same pattern with broken porcelain tiles of the same hue.

The broken porcelain pieces dragged in, the red ones are mostly genuine Jun kiln red porcelain, and when they are put into later generations, they are fragments, and they are also more expensive than gold. A pile of gold for the decoration of the corners is indeed luxurious enough. But this has completely changed Han Gang's original intention, where can he go to find three more emperors to fall off the spaceship?

"Official!" Wang Yi heard the movement in the inner courtyard and came out. Seeing that Han Gang was staring at the pattern on the wall, he said with a smile, "The Tunu family painted by the official looks very good for the eyes, so I let people inlay one on the four corners, I don't know if it fits the official's will?" ”

Wang Yi looked up at Han Gang, and the flickering candle flame was reflected in a pair of dark black eyes, shining as bright as starlight.

Han Gang lowered his head and chuckled in her ear: "The lady is really a virtuous helper for her husband. ”

Wang Yi listened, glanced at Han Gang, turned around and went into the back room. The footsteps were brisk, and he dropped a sentence: "The officials still changed their clothes early, and they are all waiting for you to eat." ”

Han Gang drew a star in the corner on a whim after hearing about the cause of Yelu Hongji's death. Although it can be 1,000% sure that it was Yelu Yixin's hand, no matter how Han Gang said that he had a share of the credit - Liang Ji, the general of the Han Dynasty, poisoned Emperor Qian, and that piece of meatloaf is also famous in history. But he didn't intend to announce anything to the world, just to secretly reminisce about it.

But in this era, celebrities and stars in the sky have something to do with each other, and people die and stars fall, so it is rumored in the world that Han Qi died and the big stars fell in the court. As soon as Han Gang heard the news of Yelu Hongji's death, he deliberately added a five-pointed pattern similar to a star on the wall, no matter how you look at it, he is showing off his achievements.

Of course, there is a problem with this. Wang Yi also knew that it was inappropriate for Lu Dao to do this, and as soon as Han Gang left, he quickly asked people to add three stars. Anyway, Han Gang only drew a star in one corner, and did not tell him not to put a star in other corners.

Although Han Gang doesn't care about such trivial matters, Wang Yi can help to think about it, of course, it is a rare virtuous help.

Han Gang went back to the backyard, changed his clothes, and went to see Zhou Nan first.

Zhou Nan's room for recuperation was a specially set up hospital - it was common for patients to arrange separate accommodation in large households - when Han Gang entered, it was when Zhou Nan took medicine.

Zhou Nanzheng frowned, with a bitter face, looking at the black medicinal juice in the bowl, but when she looked up, she saw Han Gang entering the door, and she immediately showed a smile that was so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate, "Official! ”

Han Gang sat on the edge of the bed and let Zhou Nan lean into his arms. The long uncombed hair fell like a waterfall and was caged in a small white coat. The futon dragged a little under the curtain, and the two plump balls that stood tall under the small clothes were suddenly exposed, covering the belly with scale.

Han Gang lifted the futon to cover her body so that she would not get cold. Softly asked, "How's it going, are you still dizzy?" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head, leaning on Han Gang's arms very comfortably, "It's much better." ”

After she returned home, she rested for two days, and asked the imperial doctor to prescribe two doses of recuperation medicine, and her complexion looked much better. However, the imperial doctor also said that it is not easy to move the fetus, and it will take a while.

Han Gang reached out and took the medicine from the handmaiden's hand, it was still hot. Scooped it with a spoon and put it to Zhou Nan's lips.

Zhou Nan raised his face and saw a pair of gentle and deep eyes, and what he saw in his eyes was pampering and love.

Yishun opened his mouth and drank it. "It's bitter." Zhou Nan suddenly screamed softly, fragile like a child.

"It's bitter now, and it'll be sweet when you're cured."

Han Gang sniffed, and there was still a fresh fragrance in the room with the smell of medicine. There are two stoves in the ward, one is a small medicine stove and the other is a stove for heating. There was a steamer on the stove, "It's chicken soup in the pot, right?" Han Gang asked.

The maid replied, "It's chicken and corn porridge, stewed in chicken broth." ”

"When you drink the medicine, you can drink some chicken soup to get rid of the bitterness."

"Hmm." Zhou Nanjiao nodded and drank the medicine obediently.

served Zhou Nan and drank the medicine, let her drink some chicken and corn porridge, said a few words, and helped her lie down and rest. Helping Zhou Nan cover the quilt, Han Gang motioned to the handmaiden standing on the side to wait, and then quietly walked out.

When they arrived at the main house, Wang Yi and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Wang Yi asked in a low voice, "Sister Nanniang is okay?" ”

"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Han Gang said.

"Daddy!" The lively and cute little girl jumped out, her big black eyes were extremely smart, and she raised her hands for Han Gang to hug.

Han Gang leaned over and picked up his daughter. He had five sons, one precious daughter, and of course he was the most loved. "Did you obey today?" He asked with a smile.

"Jin Niang is the most obedient, and a hundred big characters were written in the morning." The little girl shouted. She leaned in Han Gang's ear and said mysteriously, "Daddy." I heard that the emperor of Liao fell from a spaceship. Chunjin and Qiuluo both said that their father made it. ”

"Nonsense, of course. Daddy sat in the capital, and his hands couldn't reach Liao. Han Gang stretched out his right hand, "Look, Daddy's hand is so long, he can't even reach the door when he stands here." ”

The people in the room couldn't help but laugh, and Jin Niang also knew that Han Gang was joking, twisting her body and being unhappy. Han Gang patted his daughter's head dotingly, put her down and said, "Okay, don't delay, eat." ”

Jin Niang sat obediently at the table, and the family sat together to eat without mentioning it.

After eating, the third, fourth, and fifth sons were carried in to sleep. Han Gang called the three children back to the study together and sat down to test their homework.

Han Gang sat on the chair with a high back, and asked the children standing in a row in front of him: "Can you memorize the three-character scripture?" ”

The three children nodded vigorously together, "It's all familiar." ”

"Where's the ninety-nine formula?"

"I'm familiar with it, too."

"Okay, come one by one, and carry it to Daddy."

Although the annotated three-character scripture has just been handed over to the printing workshop for engraving, it has already been copied several times and given to the children of the Han family to study. It's just a few hundred words, and the child has a good memory, and in half a month, all of them have been memorized.

"Brother Zhong, you come first." Han Gang named the boss.

Han Gang used to be busy with official work and had little time to take care of his children. Several children were a little afraid of him as a father. That is, Han Gang is the only daughter who is more favored, so Jin Niang is close to him. Now that I'm free, I definitely have to care more about my son.

Standing in front of his father, Xiao Han Zhong was a little nervous. Han Gang's study usually does not allow them to enter and exit, whether it is in the old mansion in the capital or in the west of Beijing. Standing in my father's study, opposite my father, whom everyone in the family feared.

"People...... At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, sex is similar, and habits are far away......"

Han Zhong's slightly trembling voice began to recite from the beginning of the three-character scripture set by Han Gang himself, sentence by sentence, and gradually calmed down. I memorized the whole article in one go, and I made a mistake in the middle of two words, but I corrected it immediately.

Han Gang listened with satisfaction. To read, you must first be able to memorize, then be able to write, and then you have to understand, and the most important thing is to apply. The first step was a success.

Next is the ninety-nine multiplication formula. But just as he was about to memorize it, Si Yan sent a post, saying that someone was waiting in the concierge.

The door of Longtu's bachelor's house is not easy to enter, it doesn't matter, and it will take three or five days to say the least. Especially at night, Han Gang, who has no interest in the banquet, is now closed to customers, and Si Yan also knows this, and the door is generally not accepted.

Han Gang looked at the payment on the name post, and it was considered that the Si Yan Hui, who knew what the door was doing for Lu Dao, received the name post to report - it was Guo Kui's son Guo Zhongxiao.

Han Gang and Guo Zhongxiao met several times in Qinzhou in the past, although he was the son of a military general, and Yin Bu was also a martial artist, but he was still a disciple of Ercheng, and it seemed that he was going to take the route of a civil official. However, Han Gang didn't hear that Guo Kui's son was admitted to the Jinshi, and most of them were still a shadow supplement official.

Han Gang took the name card and ordered, "Take him to the side hall." When Si Yan left, Han Gang said to his children: "If Daddy has something to do today, he will disperse." ”

"Yes, Daddy!" The second Han Cheng screamed happier than anyone else.

Han Gang glared at his son: "Don't expect to escape, continue tomorrow!" ”
