Chapter 34: Cloud Court Crane Banquet (I)
"Doctor Chaosan, Right Shilangzhong, Captain of Shangqingche, Founding Uncle of Linzi County, Jingxi Road Transit Envoy, Longtu Pavilion Han Bachelor has arrived!"
Han Gang admired the roll call in front of the rich family, and his long list of official titles was sung without waiting for breath, and at the same time, under the guidance of Fu Bi's eldest son, Fu Shaoting, he walked towards the depths of the rich mansion.
Han Gang, who was wearing a full set of official uniforms, purple robes and gold belts, attracted a lot of attention along the way. Han Gang has only been in Luoyang for half a month, but he has already become famous by relying on Wen Yanbo. In the past, his reputation was certainly loud, but after all, it didn't happen in Luoyang, it was just a strange thing in the distance. But after the previous dispute between Fucao, Han Gang has already left his mark in Luoyang City.
The main hall of the rich mansion is in front of him, but Fu Shaoting did not take Han Gang to the main hall, but walked around the back, "Jia Yan is in the government hall, the front orders come down, if Long Tu arrives, you can come to the back." ”
The more intimate the place where you meet, the closer the relationship. The hall is the daily residence of the rich and the noble, just like the day of the temple, the paradise, the nest of peace, very famous. This should be a place that only close relatives of rich families, or friends with excellent relationships, can enter. And Han Gang, he hadn't even met Fu Bi yet.
“…… Then it's time for Brother Laode. ”
Smart people have smart people's practices, and Han Gang didn't say anything humble about the special treatment given to him by Fu Bi. just chatted with Fu Shaoting about some inconsequential gossip, and he didn't even knock on the side. Anyway, what Fu Bi's plans are, as long as they meet, they will be clear.
It was the first time Han Gang had seen Fu Bi. In appearance, it is very similar to Fu Shaoting, but it gives people a completely different feeling. Slightly thin, medium in stature, old and strong, but a little lame when walking.
When Han Gang was led to the front yard of the hall, he saw Fu Bi limping down the steps to greet him with the support of an old servant.
"Han Gang, the last student, meets Zheng Guogong." Han Gang hurriedly took two steps forward, and saluted Fu Bi according to the etiquette of meeting the prime minister.
Fu Bi shook off the old servant's support and returned a salute to Han Gang, "Yukun has meritorious deeds, and it is difficult to match in the world. The old man wanted to meet Yukun for a long time, and he didn't want to extend it to today. ”
Han Gang turned sideways and avoided Fu Bi's return salute, "The rich man is a young man, how can he be worthy of such praise." ”
Han Gang knows that the prime minister is extremely courteous, and does not compete with other officials, only when Fu Bi is the prime minister, no matter how humble the official position of the guest he receives, he still maintains a humble style. He didn't think anything different from Fu Bi's attitude, but he didn't dare to be a young man who was almost eighty years old and saluted with him. Even in the law, he who is seventy years old or older does not need to kneel before going to church.
Fu Bi counted the courtesies one by one, straightened up and said with a smile: "Yukun Mo should be humble, the old man was far inferior to you back then." ”
"How can Han Gang compare to Fu Gong? Han Gang's little merit is just to stabilize the border states, but Fu Gong is to stabilize the four hundred military states in the world, such as the bright moon compared to the stars, which is out of reach. ”
People respect me a foot, I respect people, Fu Bi shows enough respect for Han Gang, and Han Gang can't be self-exalted. Above the officialdom, face is given to each other.
Fu Bi smiled, turned around and led Han Gang to the hall, slowly walking up the stairs step by step, Fu Shaoting also stepped forward to help Fu Bi.
The guest and the host sat down, Fu Bi patted his legs and feet, and said with a smile: "These two legs are getting worse and worse year by year, if you change to the past, you should wait in front of the wall." ”
"How can Han Gang be worthy of such a heavy gift from the old minister? Now that it is a blessing, I am afraid that I will have to lose my life if I come again. ”
Han Gang is very modest, anyway, he doesn't want money for a high hat, and it doesn't matter how much he throws to Fubi.
Fu Bi didn't seem to want to listen to Han Gang say the flattering words that he heard too much every day: "Wen Kuanfu actually had problems with his legs and feet in the past, but he didn't know what was going on, so he was fine." He sighed, "The old man is not so lucky, Wen Kuanfu has recommended the medicine he takes every day a few times, but no matter how the old man eats, it is not good." ”
Fu Bi's words seemed to have a deep meaning, and Han Gang could also understand it, but it was inconvenient to talk, so he only understood it literally.
He had just met Wen Yanbo two days ago, and he didn't find any inconvenience in his legs and feet, but he did hear that Wen Yanbo had a foot disease in the past.
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he once asked Daodao: 'Wen Yanbo is lame, Han Qi hisses, how are they expensive?' Han Qi's voice was shrill, while Wen Yanbo had inconvenient legs. The answer was, 'If you don't limp and hiss, your majesty will not be able to submit to you.' If Wen and Han didn't have such shortcomings, how could you be qualified to make them courtiers?
It seems that he ate too well on weekdays, and finally got beriberi, otherwise Wen Yanbo's foot disease would not have suddenly healed without medicine - probably because of the change in diet.
Fu Bi's words also seemed to have plans to seek medical advice, but Han Gang decided not to be in the limelight after thinking about it.
In fact, he has not studied medical skills over the years, but the first level of pulse diagnosis depends on the accumulation of experience, and Han Gang did not dare to let go of the practice due to various concerns, and there has been no progress at all over the years. What else can you expect?
In front of Fu Bi, he made irresponsible remarks about the disease, whether it can be cured or not, the trouble in the future will definitely be indispensable. It could be beriberi, or rheumatism, or some other kind of disease, you can't say for sure. According to the rumors in the market, Han Gang only knows how to heal 10,000 people, but he doesn't know how to heal 10,000 people.
But it's nothing to mention a few sentences casually: "Han Gang has heard that there is a saying in the world that medicine is not as good as food, maybe it is the relationship between Wen Lugong's daily diet." ”
Fu Bi didn't really think that Han Gang could prescribe medicine, his foot disease was good and bad, and it had dragged on for many years, and how many famous doctors had seen it, but it was not very good. Han Gang said casually, and he listened to it casually, "There is some truth in it." In two days, I will ask Wen Kuanfu what he eats every day. ”
Drinking tea soup, Fu Bi and Han Gang chatted, with the hearts of the two of them, naturally they would not talk about it in depth, but just say some interesting anecdotes in the court, or what Han Gang saw and heard in Longxi and Guangxi, and did not mention the change of law in half a sentence. However, Fu Bi's appreciation for Han Gang was beyond words.
Han Gang secretly wondered if Fu Bi regretted it. After all, the results after the implementation of the new law have become more and more obvious, and the success of Xining's opening to the outside world in the past ten years has also made Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne at the beginning of his reign, and Fubi's "May His Majesty not speak a word for the next 20 years" become a joke.
If the situation at the time of Yingzong was used, Fu Bi was not very wrong. At that time, it was true that it could not afford to fight, and with the state of the army at that time, if it was forced to go into battle, it would not have succeeded today. But now, relying on the development of government affairs and finances brought about by the new law, there have been reborn changes in the military, and if we continue to resist hard, we will only be thrown aside by the Son of Heaven and will never be ignored again.
“…… I remember that in the third year of the emperor's blessing, the flow of Bianshui was cut off in June. At that time, 160,000 soldiers and civilians were mobilized in the states along the river, dredging for several days, and more than 3 million workers were consumed. At that time, the court was in chaos, and all the millions of soldiers and civilians in Tokyo relied on the six million stone grain transported by Bianshui. Fu Bi talked for a long time, and finally got to the point, "At that time, some people proposed to re-dig the Xianghan Cao Canal, but after looking at the old files, they all gave up this proposal. Now fortunately, Yukun is here, if the Xianghan Caoyun can be opened smoothly, even if there is a change in Bianshui, it will not surprise the capital overnight. ”
"This matter is not something that Han Gang can do alone. Shen Cunzhong, who acted in Tangzhou, had to rely on Brother Dexian for money and food. ”
Just as Wang Bian served as the treasurer of Yingtianfu, and Wen Jifu was in charge of the Xijing Grain and Material Institute, Fu Shaoting, the son of the prime minister, is now in charge of the treasury affairs of the Xijing Ministers. Han Gang didn't know what to do with the sons of these old ministers, and they were all assigned to lucrative errands, but the errands in Fu Shaoting's hands had a great impact on Han Gang's work.
"The old man has no heirloom, only the word loyalty and filial piety. If there is a royal matter, no one from a rich family dares not to do his best. ”
Han Gang named Fu Shaoting's name, and Fu Bi's purpose was achieved. After sending a chest guarantee, he didn't say much about his son, his attitude depends on doing things, whether he can marry Han Gang depends on Fu Shaoting's performance later.
After taking a sip of tea, Fu Bi said again: "I don't know if Yukun has heard about it." Wu Chongqing was detained in Taiwan for interrogation five days ago because his son Wu Anzhi was implicated in the Xiangzhou case. ”
When Han Gang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. But since the Son of Heaven did not interfere with the detention of Wu Anzhi by Yushitai, then there must be plans to abandon Wu Chong. From the middle of the tenth year of Xining, it has only been a few months now, and it seems that the third prime minister will step down, and it seems that it will take a lot of effort to stabilize the court.
"The Son of Heaven shouldn't agree to this, right?" Han Gang asked, "Now there is only one prime minister in the DPRK and China, Wu Chongqing. ”
The farce of the prime minister being the weight of a country and the lack of a prime minister in the DPRK and China only appeared once at the beginning of the founding of the country, and for more than 100 years after that, there was no saying that there was no prime minister in the court one day. As long as the Son of Heaven has not appointed a second prime minister, it is impossible for Wu Chong to step down.
Fu Bi smiled: "Two days ago, the Son of Heaven had already entered the small hall of the east gate, locked the courtyard Xuanma, and promoted Wang Yuyu to be the prime minister of Jixian. ”
"Wang Yuyu finally got his wish." Han Gang sighed, but there was a lot of amazement in his heart. This old ear and eye are really well-informed, and Han Gang found that he, the capital transfer envoy, is not as smart and intelligent as Fu Bi, who has already been Zhishi.
Although the news of the prime minister's inauguration was sent to various places by horse, the day before yesterday, the news should have been sent yesterday and he arrived in Luoyang today. And this news reached Fu Bi's ears without any delay.
"At the moment, there is only one phase and one staff in the political hall, and there will definitely be people in the East Mansion." Fu Bi casually mentioned it, and said, "There is also the sixth brother of the Wen family, he is not suitable for Chen Anmin, it should be a little troublesome." ”
Wen Jifu is Wu Anzhi's brother-in-law, and Han Gang is Wu Anzhi's brother-in-law, and he is also a relative. However, Han Gang didn't care much about this kinship. On the contrary, it was Fu Bi's words that made Han Gang think about it.
