Wang Yi didn't close his eyes all night, and sat in front of the lonely lamp all night.

Zhou Nan, Yan Suxin and Han Yunniang also didn't sleep, and sat in the inner hall with Wang Yi waiting for news.

It's just that it's all frightening rumors.

Wang Anshi's side spread that Han Gang had confirmed that the Son of Heaven still had sanity—this was the first-hand news from Zhang Dan—that is, the emperor had nothing else to move except the eyelids that represented the sanity; The other two, King Yong's stay in the palace and Zaizhi's entry into the palace during the third watch, were sent by the family's family to the royal street to investigate. It is said that at that time, the families on both sides of the royal street were like rats, nesting in a nest.

The morning sun shone in over the courtyard wall, plading the ground with a layer of golden red, but the oppressive atmosphere in the hall was not dispelled at all.

"The pilgrimage meeting is about to begin." Han Yunniang said suddenly.

After a while, Yan Suxin seemed to respond, "After a while, there should be news from the officials." ”

"Hmm. Han Xin is clever and should be able to find out. Wang Yi nodded, as if he had said it to himself.

Zhou Nan has been silent, since yesterday when the Son of Heaven fell ill and Han Gang was left in the palace, he has nothing to say. Wait until the two kings stay in the palace, and then, they don't say a word, don't drink a sip of water, let alone eat.

At this time, Han Zhong and Jin Niang took their younger brothers to visit their mother.

A few children bowed down in front of their knees to say hello, usually Wang Yi had to ask about his homework, but today he didn't have the heart, waved his hand, and asked the nurse to take the children down to eat.

After the second son of the Han family got up, he pulled Wang Yi's sleeve, "Mother, Daddy didn't come back last night?" ”

"Second brother is so stupid, I didn't see my father when I had dinner last night." Jin Niang pointed to Han Cheng's nose and said softly. The Han family has many sons and few daughters, and the most favored daughter in the family is this daughter, who is used to being bold.

"I'm not stupid." Han Cheng immediately shouted, "I've memorized all the three character scriptures." ”

"I've memorized the ninety-nine mantra too." Jin Niang snorted and raised her chin, "Second brother, you can only add or subtract." ”

Han Cheng was not convinced: "Sister, you are older than me, and when I am the same age as my sister, I will definitely carry it." ”

"Stop making a fuss." Han Zhong stopped his younger siblings, "Niangniang is worried about Daddy." ”

"Daddy's fine." Jin Niang said immediately.

Han Cheng shouted, "Niangniang still doesn't know the Dao, how can you know the Dao, sister!" ”

"I'm just the way of knowledge." Jin Niang's voice also became louder, "Daddy will never be fine!" ”

A few children were making a fuss, Wang Yi was upset, his eyebrows suddenly raised, he patted it on the armrest, and his face sank and he didn't speak.

The sons and daughters of the Han family were frightened when they landed, and they held their breath one by one like mice seeing cats.

"Stop making a fuss." Yan Suxin hurriedly drove them away and reprimanded his subordinates: "Why do you look at your brothers and sisters and still don't take them away?" Go back and pack up your homework for today, don't delay. ”

As soon as the children were driven away, a family member trotted over and reported, "Madam, Han Xin is back." ”

When Wang Yi heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't let him in yet!" ”

Han Xin hurried over, "Madam, I've already inquired." It is the six princes who are the crown princes who supervise the country, and the queen powers the same government. ”

"Queen's ......" "Is it true to investigate?" Is it the queen, not the queen mother? ”

"If Mrs. Hui is concerned, she is sure that she is the queen. The villain asked several times. Han Xin replied: "At that time, two teams of angels went out of the palace, one team went to the south, and the other team went west. It was announced by them in front of the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty. ”

Wang Yi's face softened, and he immediately asked Han Gang: "What about the bachelor...... Is there any news of the bachelor? ”

Before the words fell, Zhou Nan recited a Buddha name, "Amitabha." He leaned softly on the chair, but his body was about to fall down when he looked at it obliquely.

"Sister Nanniang! Sister Nanniang! Han Yunniang hurriedly went up to help her, but found that Zhou Nan was unconscious.

"Come on, send Nanniang back to rest." Wang Yi recruited two women, sent Zhou Nan back to rest, and then sighed softly, "It's hard for her." ”

Han Yunniang and Yan Su were confused, unable to understand what was going on.

Han Xin didn't dare to ask what was wrong, and replied to Wang Yi: "I haven't heard about the bachelor's situation yet." The little ones will go back and investigate. ”

"Go ahead." Wang Yi waved his hand and let him go.

As soon as Han Xin left, Wang Yi's whole person also relaxed, sighed with the burden on his heart, and then smiled at Yan Suxin and Han Yunniang: "It doesn't matter this time. The officials are blessed. As long as you are careful, you can stay rich for decades. ”

"Sister, how did you say that?" Han Yunniang didn't understand, just like Yan Suxin, she looked puzzled.

"It's the queen who listens to the government, not the queen mother." Wang Yi explained with a smile, "For the sake of the prince, the officials must have made up their minds to serve in Zishantang, and the queen will always be gracious." is not like the Queen Mother, because the two most beloved kings, have always looked at officials unpleasantly. ”

"I see." Yan Suxin and Han Yunniang understood. If the queen mother drapes the curtain, Han Gang will definitely be suppressed, not to mention the accession of the two kings to the throne. Now that the disciple of his own official has become the prince of the prison country, and the queen who has a good relationship with Wang Yi is hanging the curtain, the Han family is of course stable.

It's no wonder that Zhou Nan fainted, he was nervous all night without eating or drinking, and because of the matter of the second king, he was the most nervous. Finally there was good news, and suddenly I relaxed, and of course it was easy to pass out.

"Get something to eat. After sitting all night, I was hungry and panicked. Wang Yi raised his voice and instructed his subordinates, and immediately called a close family member: "Inform the old minister of Chengnanyi about the bachelor's matter, and say don't worry." ”

"The Xiang Guild doesn't know about the affairs of the court?"

"Daddy doesn't have manpower over there, and he can't enter the palace, and his ears and eyes don't know what the Dao will become."

Wang Yi knows very well that Wang Anshi went to Beijing this time, and there were a few cronies around him, and the doormen in the early years had already shined, even if there were tens of millions of doors, no one had the manpower to find out the news.

But this family member has only been gone for half an hour, so he hurried back, and when he saw Wang Yi, he immediately said: "Madame is very happy, the old minister has to give the prince and the prince." ”

"I already know the way. The bachelor is also officially awarded the title of Attendant of the Charity Hall. "This is the news that Han Xin has just sent back.

Zhou Nan has also recovered now, and when he came out of the room, he was drinking millet porridge with medicinal herbs. Wang Yi smiled at her, "I don't know if there will be any good news coming from Lu Dao." ”

The good news didn't follow immediately, but someone came to the door to give gifts. said that he was here to congratulate Mr. Han, handed over the name card and gift list, put the gift in the concierge, asked for the receipt and left.

If it was half an hour ago, Han Yunniang would have been surprised, but now it will not be at all.

Originally, Han Gang's credit was too great, he was too young, and he created everywhere he went, and the Son of Heaven had to suppress it. Even because of the dispute over Taoism, the emperor was forced to classify the clairvoyant mirror into the weapon, and obviously made a gesture of suppressing qixue. Although Han Gang is in a high position, even if the door cannot be said to be crowded, there are indeed not many guests who come to the door. But now that the situation has changed, of course, it has become hot and arrogant.

Before noon, seventeen or eighteen families had already sent domestic servants to give gifts. These are all deaf and clear-sighted, and Han Gang will definitely be of great use in the future. However, Wang Yi still followed the old rules, first sealed the gifts, registered the gift list, and waited for Han Gang to come back before punishing him.

It's just that at noon, the carriages and horses in front of the Han family have doubled.

- Han Gang resigned from the governor's office last night, and he took the lead in asking for the crown prince.

……………………

Just when Wang Yi was having a headache because of the sudden noise, the court meeting, which had been much longer than usual, finally ended, and Han Gang returned to Taichang Temple.

Compared with the subordinate officials of the various divisions in the imperial city and the official eunuchs in the city, the courtiers who were confined in the Wende Hall for a morning, they learned the truth a little later.

By noon, however, almost everyone had learned the general story of last night.

"Yukun, are the rumors true or false?" Su Song had already bypassed, and asked when he saw Han Gang.

His Guanglu Temple, like the Taichang Temple in Hangang, did not have much to do before the suburban ceremony, but after the suburban ceremony, he had to wipe his butt for the Taichang Rite Temple, and it usually took three or five days to clean up his hands and tails.

But Su Song really couldn't sit still, the matter was too big, and if he didn't ask Han Gang for confirmation, it would be impossible for him to come down and deal with official business with peace of mind.

Han Gang didn't hide it from him, anyway, for such a big matter as Lichu, in order to avoid rumors, the palace had to take the initiative to let people spread the true news and even the inside story. It's noon now, the sun has moved to the south, I'm afraid to eat a little more, even the rats in the Xiaoyao Cave should know what happened in the Funing Hall last night - the so-called Xiaoyao Cave, that is another name for the sewer of Kaifeng Mansion, thieves come and go, very free, hence the name.

"I didn't know what was going on before, but this time it was finally clear." After listening to Han Gang's narration, Su Song shook his head and praised again, "Yukun, you are a good means!" Wutai must have nothing to say over there. Even if the queen hangs the curtain, no one dares to say that it is not...... But Yukun, you have always hated talking about ghosts and gods, but this time you have to pretend to be a god and play ghosts, I don't know what to say? ”

"What do you want to say?" Han Gang said with a smile: "The incense of the Medicine King Temple in Yaozhou and Qizhou is about to flourish. But there's no way to share the account with them! ”

Su Song pointed at Han Gang, shook his head and said, "It's the Medicine King Shrine on both sides that will share the account with you, do you dare to take Yukun?" ”

Han Gang laughed, with a lightness that he hadn't seen before. But at this time, an attendant came in after being informed from outside.

"Han Duanming. According to the queen's instructions, please go to the Chongzheng Hall as soon as possible. ”

"The minister will obey the decree." Han Gang saluted and asked, "I don't know what it's for?" ”

"It was the Zhengdan of Khitan that brought Xiao Xi to Bazhou. Because Duan Ming knew about military affairs, the sage wanted to ask Duan Ming's opinion. Xiao Huangmen spoke in a low voice, carrying a holy oracle, but he even said the word "ask".

"Xiao Xi has become a Zhengdan envoy again?" Han Gang shook his head, "I'm here to rip off the bamboo again." ”

Su Song also said almost at the same time: "Could it be that the Khitans came to fight the famine?" ”

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Han Gang asked his companion to help sort out his clothes and hats, and said: "There is something in the Khitan country, Yelu Yixin killed the young master, and if he doesn't take advantage of the Great Song Dynasty to go back to block the population, he will not be able to celebrate the New Year." ”

"If Xiao Xi hears that the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, he will definitely open his mouth."

'The crown prince is young, and the queen has never had any experience in managing political affairs, so this time it is not easy to do. There was an attendant, and neither of them said this sentence.

Song Liao is a country of brothers, and they have to send envoys to each other during the New Year, which is a situation every year, where is the need to be so vigilant. But the recent situation in the Liao State is not right, anyone knows that Yelu Yixin will want to get some cheap from the Great Song Dynasty to appease the country, Han Gang knows the art of war, and knows how to deal with the Liao people; Second, the emperor's situation is wrong, and the queen has no bottom in her heart. The rest is naturally the benefit of Han Gang's meritorious service last night.

It's just that Han Gang looked at Su Song, Su Song had been an envoy to the Liao State, and he was not ignorant of the art of war, since he recruited himself, Su Song should also go over for consultation.

This thought just arose, and immediately an attendant rushed in, panting and saying to Su Song: "Bachelor Su, Bachelor Su, you can make the villain easy to find." The saint has an order, please go to the Chongzheng Hall as soon as possible. ”
