Chapter 31: Stopping the Clouds and Listening to the Song (2)
"Minister Han Gang pays a visit to Your Majesty." Han Gang saluted Zhao Ji, and then saluted to the queen, "The minister greets His Highness." ”
"Bachelor." Greeted Han Gang to the queen, "Come and see the official family, isn't it going to be great." ”
Han Gang stepped forward in response, looked up and down, except that the emperor could move his hands, there was no big difference compared to before, but there was indeed more brilliance in his eyes, "The official's complexion is much better, I don't know how I feel now?" ”
Zhao Ji can't hold the pen yet, but he has no problem with his hands. Placed next to the bed is a sand table in the real sense, with a layer of sand tiled on the plate, which is used for supporting the beggars. Things like witches have always been the most taboo in the palace, and I don't know where they came from.
Zhao Ji's index finger was scribbling on the sand, and Han Gang looked at the strokes, which should be a 'good'.
Finger drawing, which is much more convenient than blinking. Now it does seem to be getting better. It's not impossible to just get back to the light.
Han Gang looked at the imperial doctors standing beside the bed.
No one in the imperial doctors dared to say that this was a return to the past, but they just congratulated the Son of Heaven on his improvement. As for whether Zhao Ji would recover, or if his condition would get better, several imperial doctors did not dare to give a clear answer.
Writing the prescription into a ghost drawing is the patent of the doctors of later generations in Han Gang's memory, and talking in circles is what the imperial doctors of this era are best at. After chattering for a long time, the answer given was to take another look.
Han Gang also didn't know whether Zhao Ji was a sign of improvement or a return to light. But even if it gets better, with Zhao Ji being paralyzed for two months, it is absolutely impossible to recover as before. But Han Gang is not convenient to say it clearly. And the royal doctors can go around in circles, and so can he. However, Han Gang has no plans to pick up people's teeth.
"Your Majesty's illness is a little better, and the world should be happy, and the ministers must not know it." Han Gang found a reasonable excuse, "I also ask Your Majesty and His Highness to send an envoy." ”
Xiang Queen, she only cared about recruiting imperial doctors and Han Gang, but forgot about the prime minister and the ruling party.
Han Gang watched as the queen summoned a cronie and chamberlain, and asked them to bring an edict to recruit the Zaifu into the palace.
When he entered the palace by himself, the citizens who set off fireworks on the royal street saw it, and when the deacons entered the palace, I am afraid that more people would see it. I don't know what the outside will look like before the real news gets out.
Speaking of which, Han Gang was actually a little surprised, before he responded to the edict, he didn't notify the Zai Fu for anything. The emperor is also sober, even if the empress does not expect it, he should take the initiative to summon the deacon.
I really don't know what the emperor is thinking now. Han Gang is also good at observing words and feelings, but Zhao Ji has more look in his eyes, but he can't see the expression on his stiff face, and he is still indifferent.
It may be that habit has become natural, and the queen did not ask Zhao Ji for instructions when she gave orders. Although Han Gang couldn't notice the change in Zhao Ji's expression, he still felt a chill coming from him.
Maybe not an illusion. Han Gang trusts his eyesight.
The Son of Heaven is now able to move his fingers, and may be able to speak in a few days, and it is estimated that he is now fantasizing about being able to walk again in the future. Then the authority to hold the world's major politics may not be willing to be placed in the hands of the queen. This has nothing to do with the love of husband and wife, before the supreme power, there is no family affection to speak of.
Empress Xiang didn't feel anything, and she was in a good mood. After sending out all the people who informed the Zaifu, they sent people to inform the other concubines, as if to spread the good news to everyone.
The residence of the two governors is not far from the imperial city. About half an hour later, the Zaifu arrived one after another. Cai did run the fastest, Zeng Bu was second, and the others arrived at about the same time.
It should have been when he was summoned to hear the news, and when all the Zaifu entered the hall, their faces were full of joy, and Cai Cheng even burst into tears, and his voice was choked up during the salute, almost to tears.
It's just that Han Gang can see that the joy on most people's faces is a little reluctant. There's a very subtle feeling.
"The sickness is gone as the old year, and your majesty recovers in the new year. It's a joy to behold. ”
"When the pardon edict is issued, congratulations to His Majesty and the world."
The Zaifu were saying good prayers and good songs, and Zhao Ji listened for a while, moved his fingers, and drew the word 'seed'.
The murmur suddenly disappeared.
Seeds.
The Son of Heaven is really still most concerned about the military in the northwest.
Cai said: "Chongfu has respected the name of Shaanxi Xuanfu and led the troops to rescue Pule City. With the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, there is no need to worry about your majesty, you can recuperate with peace of mind and wait for good news. ”
Zeng Bu, who was thin and dry, also immediately echoed: "With Lu Huiqing in charge, the cultivation of the grass will not cause the Liao people to be rampant." ”
The movement in Shaanxi can be seen from the reports of Chong Ge and Lu Huiqing. Cai Qu and Zeng Bu just pushed everything on Lu Huiqing. Of course, the two of them were not helping Lu Huiqing establish the authority of the Xuanfu envoy, but waiting to see Lu Huiqing be disgraced by the seeds.
These are all waiting to see Lu Huiqing's jokes. Lu Huiqing wanted to prove his ability, but he bumped into Chong Ge, a subordinate who has always loved to do his own thing, even if he had all kinds of strategies, he couldn't show it.
At this time, the news of the rejuvenation of the soldiers was still halfway through, and even the good news of the relief of the siege of Pule City and the 800-mile expedited march of the Qingtongxia Party members to the north had not yet been transmitted back to the capital. Han Gang naturally didn't know which step the Tando Cultivator would take, but who didn't know the temper of the Tane Goro, both inside and outside the court? The Son of Heaven set a date for Lu's troops, but he dared to set off early. What else can't he do?
Zhao Ji drew four words on the sand table, and pointed out the careful thoughts of the Zai Fu: The report is not compatible.
The Zaifu were secretly frightened. They all knew that Emperor Lu Dao listened to people read the chapters every day, but they could compare the two pieces and find out the flaws in them, which showed that Zhao Ji's mind was still sober.
That's a dismount.
Zhang Dian said respectfully, "If Your Majesty has any doubts, please make it clear, and the minister can also move a document to question the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division." ”
Han Gang cast a grateful glance at Zhang. This is to help him confirm which one Zhao Ji is planning to target. The farmer is still Lu Huiqing.
The relationship between the farmer and Han Gang is very deep. Only about the generals in the army. Li Xin, Wang Hou, Wang Sunchen, and Zhao Long, these are Han Gang's hardcore supporters in the army, and it can be said that they are both prosperous and loss-oriented. Although the seed family is not as close as Li Xin and them, but there is a relationship between Wang Sunchen, Chong Jianzhong and even Chong Pu, and the seed family can be regarded as Han Gang's basic plate in the army, and in contrast, Han Gang is also their main reliance in the court.
Han Gang didn't care whether Lu Huiqing was punished or not, and he didn't care about the results of the planting, but Han Gang definitely wanted to keep such excellent seedlings as Chongpu and Chongjianzhong. Even if they were affected by the seed for a while, Han Gang still had to ensure that someone within the seed family could come out to make up for it.
Zhao Ji wrote on the sand table again, not to answer a question, but to simply 'Gang'.
Is this to take a stand for yourself? Jumped too far. Han Gang thought about it, and said at the same time: "The minister has not seen the two plays, so he doesn't dare to discuss right and wrong. However, in the opinion of the ministers, the Xuanfu Division and the front-line generals, one is a commander and the other is a general, and their views on the war situation must not be completely consistent. If there is no big difference, it should be reasonable. ”
Hebei may get it all? Zhao Ji moved his fingers and jumped to the consequences again.
Is this to negate Empress Xiang's decision? Xiang lowered his head to the queen and turned his face into the bed, so that the expression on his face could not be seen
Han Gang immediately said: "Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue, and the teaching of saints." Since the Liao people have broken the covenant, China cannot let it run rampant! Otherwise, the Liao people will have to make inches, not only in Shaanxi, but also in Hebei and Hedong. ”
The minister was also worried. The Liao people provoked and should fight back. But I'm afraid that after Pu Lecheng is saved, Xuanfu Si's side still won't let go. "Yelu Yixin's embarrassing position made it necessary for him to maintain his prestige. But the Great Song Dynasty was not ready for a full-scale war. If things really reach the point of no return, the first unlucky one must be Hebei. As the only Hebei person in the two prefectures, Han Jiang is of course worried about his hometown, but although he follows Zhao Ji's words, he still clings to Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, "The Liao people abandoned Weizhou and attacked Pule City, in fact, they are still measured." It's just blackmail, not trying to destroy the alliance. Xuanfu Si sent a seed to rescue Pule City, I don't know if there is a countermeasure in the future? ”
Pule City is a military city on the border, and there are no villages around. The Liao people came to besiege, as long as the city was not broken, there would not be much loss. The original intention of the Liao people was to put pressure on the city of Tokyo. But now that he is leading the army to rescue Pule City, if it is just to drive the enemy, it is better to say, if he solves all the Liao troops in the south, or kills and wounds many people, Yelu Yixin will not be able to suppress the radical forces in the country. If the seed is whimsical and further kills the spirit, war will be inevitable.
Han Gang will not answer on behalf of Lu Huiqing. It's just that Han Gang didn't speak, and Zhang Dian said: "This matter can be transferred to the Xuanfu Division." or send an envoy to inquire. ”
Zhao Ji didn't write, his hand was slightly raised, and he pointed at Han Gang.
"Dangfu Yousi." Han Gang still pushed it away, but after looking at Zhao Ji and the empress, he made his attitude more clear, "The courtiers of Kansai, from Kou Zhun Kou Zhongshu down, none of them advocate compromising foreign enemies. Ministers are no exception! ”
Han Gang said a little conceited, in fact, it was for the sake of planting, but this is indeed the pride of the Kansai people - as for the one in Xia County, Shaanzhou, it can't be counted. Shaanzhou is outside Zhongtiao Mountain, and it has already been out of Tongguan.
No one was surprised by Han Gang's attitude, and the people of Shaanxi have always been tough on foreign enemies to the end. Even the great Confucian Zhang Zai had planned to lead his troops to open up the river. This is to help the seed speak, but Han Gang used the reason, but it made his protection of the seed family appear to be public rather than selfish.
Zhao Ji's fingers stopped, and after a long time, there was no movement, and no one took the initiative to speak.
"Are the officials tired?" The queen asked in a low voice.
Before Zhao Ji could react, Cai Cheng had already received the queen's words, "Late night work is not good for the royal body, please rest for a while, and please listen to the hadith tomorrow." ”
Where Zhao Ji's words are written, where are the words of Zaifu. None of them took the initiative to bring up state affairs. It is unlikely that the emperor's condition will completely improve, and if he wants to regain power, he may have to become an enemy of the empress. Zhao Ji's attitude is weird, and he can see a lot. But who knows that Zhao Dao Zhao Ji can live for a few days, and if he offends the queen at this time, it will be difficult to have a good end in the future.
If other factors are excluded and a simple choice is made between the emperor and the empress, most of them will choose the less powerful empress - it is estimated that only Wang Anshi will - consciously or unconsciously exclude Zhao Ji.
Han Gang smiled slightly, fortunately, most of the people on the table now had a similar temper to him.
