Chapter 39: Returning the Rain to the Sunny Advice (4)

[Let everyone wait for a long time, this is the second shift, and there will be another one later.] I finally climbed to the eighth place on the monthly ticket list, thank you friends, I thank you here. 】

Cai did return home, did not change clothes and wash, and sat on the recliner in the study for a long time, without moving.

It's only been a day and a night away from home, but it seems like a long time has passed in his heart.

On this day, looking at the smooth sailing, he supported the prince without hindrance, but only he knew the hidden killing opportunities best.

Fortunately, Han Gang stopped him in the middle. He and Zeng Bucai did not collide headfirst with the already sober Emperor Taishang. If he knew that the Emperor Taishang was sober, there would only be him and Zeng Buli who were in charge of internal meditation, and the end would definitely not be very good. Not to mention that Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, Zhang Dian and others have become mortal enemies, even the queen's side may directly sacrifice him and Zeng Bu. Even whether it can succeed or not depends on two words.

is not as good as now, although the credit is scattered, but the prince has indeed become the son of heaven. The decision is in hand, and there is no need to worry about jealousy and attacks in the same column.

No matter what Han Gang thought at the time, Cai did remember this favor.

There was no light in the study, it was dark and dreary, and the beams above his head seemed to be pressed down, but Cai Qu's heart was extremely light.

Wang Anshi retreated, and there was no longer a Pingzhang military matter on his head. Han Jiang has also been sluggish in the government for a long time, but he is just a papier-mΓ’chΓ© clay sculpture, and he is just good-looking.

Zhang Qi and Zeng Bu were promoted by the emperor, but they didn't have enough credit to jump to the rank of prime minister at all. In a short period of time, the queen did not have that kind of courage, and directly promoted a prime minister from the two.

On the Xifu side, Xue Xiang and Guo Kui can ignore it. As soon as Lu Huiqing goes, Zhang Dian will be the head of the Western Mansion in the right name, and in a short period of time, he will not have the idea of transferring to the Eastern Mansion.

And Han Gang, in order to avoid being affected by his reputation, took the initiative to beg to go. To know Lu Dao, with his decision-making skills, with his position in the heart of Queen Taishang, it is needless to say that he sits firmly in the West Mansion and looks at the East Mansion. But Han Gang retreated with his father-in-law.

A good official does not do it, but he wants to promote his qi. For the sake of academics, you can't let your reputation be damaged. On the surface, Han Gang always acts with great vigour, but in fact, when he measures the merits and results, he is actually still a rat trap and is tied. Otherwise, why not? finally entered the two mansions, and had to quit. Han Gang's foolishness, Cai did feel sorry for him, how could he have Deng Juan's 'I will be a good official, and he will laugh and scold'?

Externally, Liao Guo has long been chilled and does not dare to make any changes. Internally, the queen and Zaisuke must work together, as long as there is no problem with the financial plan, no matter how big the wave is, it can be easily suppressed.

All of a sudden, the constraints were gone, and the inside and outside were safe. As long as you flatter the queen well, it is not a problem to be a peaceful prime minister for seven or eight years, and it is not impossible to be a little longer.

With this as a basis, in the future, 'the eunuchs will come to the prime minister, and the rich will return to their hometown', how will Han Qi be beautiful? When my father was dismissed and the whole family starved, who could have imagined that there would be such glory?

Thinking about the future, even if there is a city government that does not dishonor the name of the prime minister, he can't help but laugh happily.

"Cai Rang!" Cai did suddenly raise his voice and shouted to the outside world.

"What do you command?" Cai Qu's close cronies quietly walked in.

"Where's the big brother?"

"Da Lang is accompanying the three ends of Quanzhou."

"Yuan Chief? When did he come. ”

"At the time of the first shift. I've been drinking for a while. ”

"Who else has been?"

"Feng Xianggong's family sent a gift post. said that it was congratulations to Saburo on getting married. ”

Feng Jing is Cai Qu's in-laws and the father-in-law of Cai Qu's eldest son, Cai Wei. Originally, he was also in and out of the two prefectures, and his status was far above Cai Qu, but unfortunately he stood on the wrong team and was invited out of the capital. Feng Jing has been in contact a lot recently, and wants Cai Qu to invoke him to re-enter the capital. But now that the situation has changed greatly, it will be difficult for those former deacons to come in again. is an important minister like Su Song, who is old but has little experience, and he can enter the West Mansion because he has given up the position of Han Gang. Others, who would do such a stupid thing?

Hearing Feng Jing's gift list, Cai did just sigh, and now it is different from the past. When Cai Qu married Feng Jing, his family background was thin, and he had no background at all except for his distant relative Cai Xiang. But now, Gui is the prime minister, and he has just ordered a family affair for Cai Zhuang, the third child in the family, who is the eldest daughter of Han Cuiyan, the fifth son of Han Qi, and the granddaughter of King Han Wei! This is how the Valve-Reading Family was gradually built.

"Remember to give a gift back." He said,

Cai Rang responded, and asked again: "Xianggong, but do you want to invite Da Lang to come?" ”

"Forget it." Cai Qu leaned back in his chair again, "Let the eldest brother continue to accompany his clan uncle, and when the people are gone, let him come over." ”

Cai Rang promised and quietly retreated.

Cai Qu's fingers tapped lightly on the back of the chair, Cai Jing came too often. Taiwanese officials befriended the prime minister, and it was not a good thing to spread the rumors. If it weren't for the queen now in power, who would dare to be so unscrupulous? Even if it's a relative, you have to avoid suspicion.

Cai Jing and Cai do have a certain kinship, the great-grandfathers on both sides are brothers, and when it comes to five suits, they are also the most rear-class relatives. If Cai Jing dies, Cai Cheng will change into three months of plain clothes, serve the March funeral, and change to his son to come, and it will be enough to wear plain clothes and white scarves for a few days at the funeral.

It can be said to be a relative, but in fact, it is not much different from outsiders, and it is not even the same. Cai Qu's father, Cai Huangshang, even moved his family to Gyeonggi that year. When his father was expelled by Chen Zhizhong and the whole family was almost starved to death, the clan did not help at all.

Promoting Cai Jing, the relationship between relatives only accounts for a small part, mostly because of his outstanding character, high talent, and good at making friends, saying that he is a talent, and he is indeed a talent. It's just that I'm too anxious, and I'm a little eager to be an official.

But Cai Jing, a palace servant like him, if he wants to rise further, he has to keep finding higher-level officials to step on it. The Son of Heaven relied on the imperial history like a fighting dog to balance the important ministers in the court.

It was Cai Qu, who rose from the Imperial History Terrace to the position of prime minister, who knew best that this was nothing more than the use of razing in the court.

The Imperial Observatory needs to be rectified as soon as possible. Cai did think.

Keep changing new people in, and after a while, release Lu to be a state and county official. The official of the Jing Dynasty, who chose the second magistrate of the county rank, gilded the imperial history platform, and then threw it away. Just rotated up, the so-called 'flowing water does not rot, and the hub does not beetle'. In this way, it saves those senior imperial historians to stare at their positions one by two.

In the current situation of Zaifu and Qi Lianzhi, it is best to solve any source of chaos in advance.

Cai Qu sat up and looked to the northwest.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is in the inner city, and through the open windows, you can see the walls of the imperial city.

A row of red lanterns outlines the top of the city wall from the darkness, and the real source of chaos can be found within the city wall.

I don't know if Han Jiang, Zhang Dian and Han Gang, who were on duty tonight, are sitting safely now.

……………………

The candle flame was swayed by the wind, the candlelight flickered, and the words on the book were all flowers in the eyes.

The dragon and phoenix giant candles used in the palace are the thickness of children's arms, and they can't make such a big glass lamp yet, and they are all exposed. In order to cool down, the doors and windows in the pavilion were wide open, and the night wind blew in, which also made the candles shake violently.

Han Gang snapped softly, and threw the book in his hand on the small table on the side, he didn't want to break his eyes. No matter how good the version of Guozi Jian is, it is still not clear.

Almost at the same time, there was a soft sound on the other side. Zhang Dian also threw down the book in his hand. Reading the Book of Han at night in the palace is also a rare opportunity.

"Xianggong Zihua should be asleep, right?" Zhang Dian said.

"Xianggong Zihua is old, and he stayed up all night, he can't compare to us, and he can't support it."

The three of them were on duty, only Han Jiang was old, and he stayed up all night, and he arranged to go to sleep directly.

Zhang Dun Ha smiled: "You can't compare to Yukun, but I'm sleepy, but I just hold on." ”

Han Gang shook his head: "I can't see it." ”

Zhang Dian looked at Han Gang's young and calm face, and even felt a little jealous in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's rare to hear Yukun you deceive people." I'm close to the ear, my hair is shaking, and Yukun is not even in ...... thirties."

"Today."

"Huh?"

"Mother's Day is today." Han Gang smiled and pointed to the darkness where the sound of bells and drums had just come from outside, "It's just past the third watch, and it's today." ”

"Ahh Zhang Duan shouted, "It's so busy that it's almost delayed." Yukun, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"Since it is Mother's Day, children should only be grateful for the kindness of their parents, and there is no need to be so lively. What's more, state affairs are important. Han Gang smiled again, it's not a matter of state, why is he still in the palace today?

Yesterday, Cai Qu and Zeng Bu of Suzhi went back, and only Han Gang stayed. Together with Han Jiang and Zhang Dian, the palace was forbidden.

This is just in case.

The personnel in the palace have not yet begun to adjust, and the effects of the change of throne have only begun to kick in.

The reason why this inner meditation is calm and quiet is only to occupy the word 'fast'. Yesterday, the Son of Heaven became ill, and the Zaifu jointly agreed on the inner Zen, inside and outside the palace, all the potential forces did not have time to react. In the middle of the night, he put the prince on the throne, which no one had thought of beforehand.

But now? The hundred officials have not yet been awarded, the three armies have not yet been rewarded, the hearts of the people are fluctuating, and there is time to plan again, and next, the danger is coming.

Only an auxiliary minister like Han Gang, who has a high reputation in the army, can calm the hearts of the people in the palace, so that Xiaoxiao will not dare to make any changes.

Although Zhang Dian has military merits, he can be ranked in the top five among the civil servants since the founding of the People's Republic of China. But his two commanders and divisions were mainly based on the Western Army. Compared with Han Gang, who had just given Jingying a great wealth and had earlier favors and three armies, his prestige in the imperial city was still far behind.

The most important thing is that Han Gang has begged to go, and his character is also trustworthy, whether it is Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, or Cai Qu and Zeng Bu, they all feel that he can rest assured. Even if there is an accident and an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Cai Qu and Zeng Bu can trust Han Gang to inform them.

Zhang Dian shook his head, "I still have to remind Empress Taishang that there should be no shortage of rewards, this is the rule." ”

As he spoke, he raised the teacup again, "Since Yukun is afraid of being lively, and you want to focus on state affairs, then the foolish brother will replace wine with tea, and wish Yukun success in your achievements." ”

Han Gang is also a free and easy person, raising a glass and drinking it all.

Putting down the teacup and chatting, Song Yongchen hurriedly came.

"Privy Zhang, Privy Han." Song Yongchen's face was a little pale, "Empress Taishang asked the villain to report to the two privy secretaries, and the Empress Dowager sent someone to visit the Emperor Taishang." ”
