"Privy, there is another military report from Bai Yu's side."

Han Gang was frowning, and Huang Shang entered the account with an official letter.

"There is really a lot of news in Shuozhou."

"It's not Shuozhou, it's white jade." Huang Sheng emphasized the source of the official letter in his hand.

The official and dispatch of Zhe Kexing were all above Bai Yu, and when Bai Yu was ordered to leave, Han Gang also asked him to obey Zhi Kexing's command.

Bai Yu didn't dare to disobey General Han Gang's order, but he wrote a report on the arrangements of Zhi Kexing, and reported everything in the barracks to Han Gang. This made Huang Shang, who was in charge of the secretary by Han Gang's side, feel very annoying.

"Bai Yu is too diligent and not a righteous person."

"Don't be so prejudiced." Han Gang smiled and took the letter in Huang Shang's hand, and after glancing at it, he saw that there was indeed nothing important, so he put it down again, and said to Huang Shang: "He can handle things well." ”

Huang Shang did have some prejudices against Bai Yu, that is, when Bai Yu came to see Han Gang before, he did it too ugly.

Han Gang kept the elite of the Western Army for more than a month, and did not give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it was normal for Bai Zhaoxin to complain a few words. Han Gang didn't feel offended either, it was just trivial things - generally speaking, the higher the status, the less attention to right and wrong, but the more attention to action and reality.

And Bai Yu slapped his angry son for this, which can also be regarded as a means of self-protection without time to think, and Han Gang can also understand it. But what is it to kick him again, and who does he think of Han Gang?

Han Gang's sense of Bai Yu was lowered by a level, and Huang Shang, who was accompanying him at the time, lost his affection for the Bai family's father and son.

Bai Yu's ability is there, and among the many generals in Kansai, although it cannot be said to be first-class, at least it can be regarded as decent. It's a pity that being a person and doing things is a little worse, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

It's no wonder that with his seniority in the Kansai Army, no one wants to use him at the very end.

Guo Kui saved his life, and Entong rebuilt, but he didn't manage to transfer him to Hebei as a personal general. There is an element of self-improvement, but it must also be that the white jade is unbearable.

If Bai Yu hadn't had that extra kick, Han Gang wouldn't mind leaving him a place in the shogunate, but now it's impossible. It will only be how much merit there is and how much reward will be given, and it will not be promoted exceptionally, nor will it be regarded as a cronie.

There is no military general in the background, and if you want to be promoted, there is no other way than to stay up for time. Han Gang wanted to give him a chance, but unfortunately Bai Yu couldn't grasp it.

But then again, if you can succeed this time, the merit will be enough to make the three generations of the Bai family healthy. A military general who is over fifty years old, what else can he ask for in this?

Bai Yu's problem has been thought about and forgotten, but now the problem is the emperor.

Today's Daizhou County, except for a few passes, has basically been recovered, and the exits of those passes are guarded by heavy soldiers to prevent the Liao army from attacking.

And in the city of Shuozhou, Zhi Kexing and Bai Yu were preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the Liao army. Train soldiers and horses, repair the city defense, and try to make all preparations before the Liao army attacks. Han Gang, who was not ready to come to the Shuozhou battle formation in person, only needed to wait for news in Daizhou City.

Most of his mind was placed on the urgent news from the capital.

The one who restores the clouds is crowned king.

This is a birth king, and it must be a king with a different surname.

In the Han Dynasty, there were no examples of kings with different surnames, except for the beginning and end of the country. The situation in the Tang Dynasty was different, but there were still few people with different surnames to be crowned kings, and there were only a few more after the Anshi Rebellion.

According to the rules gradually formed after the founding of this dynasty, regardless of foreign vassals, the courtiers with different surnames in the court can only be crowned kings after death, and they are not crowned kings after death.

Zhao Pu, Murong Yanzhao, Gao Huaide, Cao Bin, and Pan Mei, who were previously crowned kings with different surnames, were either the queen's parents and grandparents, or they had made great contributions and could not be rewarded. And these people all have one thing in common, that is, they are no longer alive when they are knighted, but they are posthumously sealed.

Han Qixiang was the third emperor and established two masters, and after his death, there has always been a saying that he would be crowned king, but there has been no movement so far.

If you want to be crowned a prince, now, at least you have to have the immortal skills of Guo Ziyi.

Those who have recovered the clouds are barely qualified. However, no matter what Han Gang thought, he felt that the emperor's words would definitely not be limited to the original intention. It should be the result of some calculations for the current situation.

Maybe it's against the leaders of the army, or maybe it's against the current peace talks. Anyway, the emperor must have other thoughts.

But this is clearly a mess!

Where can the emperor arbitrarily award a prince to others? The imperial court has its own system, and the emperor cannot be allowed to act arbitrarily.

To put it mildly, in case the emperor really ordered his life and let Han Gang commit suicide. At that time, was he self-judging or not self-adjudicating?

According to common sense, of course, Han Gang can ignore it, it has not yet become an official edict, it is just a verbal edict.

The Son of Heaven who has no power to govern is in chaos, although it is inconvenient to take a sip, he can completely ignore it.

Han Gang remembered that there were rumors that Emperor Renzong was sick in his later years, and his mind was often not clear, and when he was sick, he shouted in front of the envoy of the Liao State that the queen and the prime minister wanted to kill him, but he didn't see Emperor Cao and Han Qi looking for Bai Aya, but they got the emperor into the Funing Palace to raise him.

However, after all, the emperor was only seriously ill, not deaf. As everyone knows, the mind of the Son of Heaven is still clear, otherwise he would not have been able to understand the treacherous schemes of the two kings when he was dying, so that the queen would listen to the government.

In case Zhao Ji says anything, it will really be a disaster, even if he can come to avoid evil, but it is also indispensable. In the future, it will definitely be used as a handle and beaten from time to time.

Fortunately, it is now the queen who is presiding over the government, so for the time being, you don't have to worry about such an edict falling on your head.

But Han Gang didn't plan to let go of it.

Just in front of the table, unfolding the pen and paper, Han Gang began to write a letter to Wang Anshi:

'Chaos is not true, rumors are not stopped, the upper does not admonish the king, and the lower does not disturb the people. Dare to ask Pingzhang, what is Pingzhang? ’

Han Zhongxin, who was ordered to come, opened his mouth and closed it after glancing at it. How much burden does it have to be to write such a letter to my father-in-law, who is in charge of the important affairs of the military state in Pingzhang.

"Pivot...... Privy, really want to send this letter? ”

Han Zhongxin stammered and asked. Although he has been ordained, it is not yet an official position, and he must be approved by the imperial court before he can officially enter the official register.

Although the war has not yet ended, at this stage, there are not many opportunities for Han Zhongxin to make meritorious contributions, so he can just go back and send a few private messages that are inconvenient to deliver by the way.

"I'm not saying it to Pingzhang!" Han Gang disagreed, folded the letter and put it away.

He was trying to force Wang Anshi to make a statement.

Although the emperor is still conscious, he has already shown signs of deterioration of his sanity, and although he can stop it now, what if he dies again in the future? Even though it has not yet passed through the two prefectures, it is not guaranteed that there will be one in the future.

It is better to take precautions and let the world understand that the emperor is no longer able to handle political affairs.

……………………

Six or seven days have passed, and the news has reached the Hedong front. The words that can come out of the Funing Palace, the stormy waves in the capital have not stopped.

It was so amazing that the ministers of the two governments invariably chose to remain silent. For the discussion in the market, it was also resigned to it for a while.

The emperor's mind is simply incomprehensible.

As he slept on the sickbed for a long time, his mind and personality changed in a direction that was difficult for people to understand and figure out. But the direction of change is certain, and it will only get worse, not better.

Wang Anshi wouldn't expect them to hide from Zhao Ji for long. No matter how the lie is made, there are flaws, and after such a long time, I think the emperor has seen through the truth.

Although the person is lying down, his mind is sober, he sees through the truth, and then he gives an elusive order, and at the end he makes a lot of trouble.

What exactly does he want to do?

How many people have thought about this question, and of course, the answer is more or less different.

The only thing that is certain is that no one wants to believe that the emperor only wanted to regain his homeland.

After a stormy night in the suburbs of the winter solstice last year, the emperor's scheming and city government have been recognized by the world. His train of thought must be nine turns and eighteen turns, which is difficult for people to figure out.

Han Gang's victory in Hedong actually opened the door for people to understand how to fight the Liao army. I also saw the hope of destroying the Liao State.

Although the vast majority of the world does not understand the significance of Han Gang's victory, they, who are in charge of the world's major politics, can at least see through the benefits of Han Gang's military strategy.

Where are the advantages of the Great Song Dynasty, and how to use the advantages of the Great Song Dynasty to restrain the strengths of the Liao army. It's all seen in this victory.

The hope of recovering the clouds is just around the corner, but Zhao Ji's words are now afraid to move.

It is not a good thing to be crowned king, and for the vast majority of people in the two provinces, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

After being crowned queen, can you still expect to stay in the government any longer? Military power, political power, and financial power must definitely be abandoned.

At the age of Lu Huiqing and Han Gang, will they be willing to retire here? Raise a music class and build a villa to entertain the whole year?

Once he is crowned king, he will be the target of everyone. The Son of Heaven will watch, the official will watch, and every word and deed will be interpreted by those who have a heart. Just like Di Qing became a privy envoy back then, he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the official and the larger group of civil officials, and attacked him frantically, so that he died young, which is not very regrettable.

With the intelligence of Han Gang and Lu Huiqing, they will definitely not fight for that prince, and their road is still very long. After fifty or sixty, it is almost the same, Lu Huiqing is not yet fifty, and Han Gang still has thirty or forty years in the court. With such a future, would you be willing to be treated as a prisoner?

But just for the sake of state affairs, Wang Anshi did not dare to take risks.

The country's finances are no longer sustainable, and the end of the war looks like a distant sight.

We cannot give up the opportunity for peace talks now, still less allow the war to continue.

Wang Anshi sent letters to Han Gang and Lu Huiqing, and even united with Han Jiang and Cai Qu to give Guo Kui a strict order, prohibiting him from interfering with peace negotiations and from counterattacking Liaojing.

The war must be stopped, and the storm set off by Zhao Ji must be stopped. Wang Anshi couldn't sleep at night, he only hoped that the emperor would not have any more problems.
