Chapter 31: Stopping the Clouds and Listening to the Song (28)
Just sent away the family who was about to go north with Han Gang, Zhou Nanzheng was indignant: "Is there no one else in the imperial court?!" What is it for the officials to suffer and suffer! ”
The former leader of the Faculty Division, as he gets older, becomes more and more mature and attractive, even if he is angry, he is still full of charm, like a blooming rose, which makes people unable to take their eyes off. But the only person on the tip of her heart, but she didn't even say a word again, so she hurried out of Beijing, which made Zhou Nan angry.
The husband is always ordered to be in danger, and he is sent wherever he is in danger. The experience of birth and death, which civil servant in the court can compare?
"Every time. As soon as the officials made the place a little more stable, the imperial court immediately crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and transferred the people back to the capital to erect them. But when the chaos started, I thought of the officials again. Isn't this a blatant bullying of honest people?! ”
Of course, Han Gang is not an honest person, and his wives and concubines all know it. However, the style of Han Gang's faction that had no time to seek a life for the country was indeed very rare among the civil servants who were regarded as fearful even when they sent envoys to the Liao State in peacetime. Every time he is ordered in danger, it also makes people feel that this is too much bullying by the imperial court.
"In addition to the officials, the only commanders available in Beijing are Zhang Zihou. But if Zhang Zihou leaves, who will be in charge of the Privy Council? Xue Xiang is not even a jinshi, and the official is a novice, and it will take no less time to straighten out the things at hand. What's more, Zhang Zihou only has experience in the south, but the official is a long-standing town in Hedong. Wang Yi's explanation was helpless, but a little proud.
"Yes, there is a shortage of people in the imperial court. Usually it's okay, but in the event of a major event, there are only three or five people who can really come in handy, including officials! Yan Suxin is also proud of her husband, but her smile is extremely heavy, and the melancholy condensed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows is so thick that she can't dissolve.
Although there was only one person missing, the courtyard suddenly became empty, and her heart was also empty. Look at Yun Niang, who is most favored by her husband and is still a child, she has no smiling face and is much quieter.
As long as their husbands are at home, even if they sit quietly in the study and read, they are at ease. But once Han Gang goes out, it's like the house is missing the main beam.
The penitent husband is looking for a marquis. I don't know why, Wang Yi's mind floated this poem, and she regretted it a long time ago. Even if you earn back a county duke, what can you do if you earn back a national duke? In the end, it is better than when I teach my children to read and write at home.
"But come back safely......" she whispered, looking at the sky.
……………………
"Something's wrong! Something happened! Something is wrong!! ”
A five-short man with short hands and feet and a short body almost rolled into the Eight Immortals Tower.
The wind chimes on the iron tower of Kaibao Temple outside the building sound crisply with the wind. In the building, there was a human voice: "Got it?!" ”
As long as you live in the capital, you will inevitably have a good pair of ears, who doesn't know that there must be bad news in Beijing today, and the atmosphere in the market is obviously wrong. A middle-aged man in his forties said in a low voice, "But Hebei is defeated?" ”
"It's not Hebei." The five-short man's voice trembled violently, his two eyes were wide open, and his bulging eyes seemed to fall out, "It's not Hebei, it's Hedong!" Hedong is lost!! ”
He shouted in a voice that was somewhere between screaming and screaming.
A group of people in the restaurant jumped up, "How is that possible?!" ”
That's Hedong, there are dangers, there are famous generals, two years ago, he beat the Khitans like dogs, cut off a bunch of heads, and made the Shang father of the Liao State suffer a dumb loss, where would it be so easy to fall, and there was not even a rumor beforehand.
The middle-aged man pointed to the nose of the five short men: "Kong Er, don't talk nonsense!" How could Hedong be lost? Be careful to be caught in the yamen and punished! ”
"Phew, I'm a descendant of a saint, when have I ever talked nonsense!" Kong Er was so angry that he spat on the ground, "Brother Li, how much do you old nobleman forget, have you forgotten my cousin who worked in the imperial city?" Hedong is really lost! ”
The middle-aged man surnamed Li was silent. He is a Zhilu Dao, Kong Er, a neighbor who often drinks together, does have a cousin who works as an errand in the imperial city.
"That's not good." An old man dressed as a Confucian sitting in the depths of the store pulled his gray beard and shook his head: "In fact, in the fifth generation, there were more thieves from Hedong than from Hebei. Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty [Li Cunqiao], Emperor Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty [Shi Jingjiao], and Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty [Liu Zhiyuan], which one was not born as an envoy of Hedong Jiedu? It was the Northern Han Dynasty, and it was also the resistance to the heavenly soldiers that was destroyed after reaching the most pulp. The Liao people seized Hedong, which was more dangerous than taking Hebei. ”
The old man's words made everyone pale.
"Mr. Zhang, don't scare yourself. Whether the fall of Hedong is true or false is uncertain. When Kong Er heard this, he puffed up his eyes again, but the middle-aged man surnamed Li didn't see it, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if Hedong really falls, there is no one in the court." ”
"The fall of Hedong is mostly true." The old man spoke again, "Why don't you want to think about it, after so many days of war, Liaogou is still blocked on the border. If it weren't for the strategy they used, how could their hands and feet be so slow? At the time of Zhenzong, Liao Dog hit the Yellow River in a blink of an eye. Even if there is a divine arm bow and a sword, but it can't stand the Liao people have fast horses, and when they see a strong city and a military formation, they will take a detour, like mercury pouring into the ground, how can they stop it? Now that they have been fighting for so many days, the Liao army has not taken a single step, it must be a feint. ”
This Mr. Zhang has a little fame in several squares around the Eight Immortals Tower, and a group of people admire his knowledge. Hearing him say this, all the remaining luck was gone.
Hedong is really lost!
"Still." Old man Zhang's words changed, "In today's court, there are indeed people who can save the situation in Hedong. ”
"It's Master Han, right?" Not everyone knows that Han Gang is the predecessor who stepped down from Hedong to pacify, but in the event of a foreign invasion, everyone will look forward to Han Gang, who is proficient in the art of war, to come out and lead the army, but Han Gang has another identity, "It's just that the queen is willing to let go?" That's about the prince's safety. ”
"That's not clear. You'll find out in a few days. ”
"It won't be a few days." Kong Er shook his head, "It's in the Chongzheng Hall in the morning, and the queen has already sent Master Han back to Hedong for help!" ”
"Bachelor Han went back to be the pacification envoy of Hedong again?!" One drinker was pleasantly surprised.
"It's not a pacifying envoy, but what kind of envoy is it? And the queen has just worshipped Master Han as a privy deputy. He is the deputy privy envoy and the envoy of the system. ”
The old man frowned, this position he had never heard of was probably similar to that of the Xuanfu envoy.
"Now that Master Han is in charge of the soldiers and horses in Hedong and rescues Hedong, he may have to be ordered in the next few days." The middle-aged surnamed Li said: "A few days ago, after the school review outside the East Gate, a general stationed in Baima heard about it and crossed the river. ”
"Where is this?"
"Anyway, I heard that the Fourth Army may also be dispatched this time."
"Nonsense. Which one can be moved casually? ! Unless the Son of Heaven personally marches, how can the Fourth Army be dispatched? ”
Kong Er spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground fiercely, and looked at the dirty ground with a frowning face regardless of Xiao Er beside him, "It's all that Lu Shu's secret injury, this time, if something happens to Hedong and Hebei, they will definitely have to cut his head." ”
"Don't worry about Hebei, there's Taiwei Guo here. Fang Cai Zhen Lao didn't say that the Liao people fought with the idea of attacking the east and the west. There is no big fight on the Hebei side. As long as Hedong is kept, the Liao people will be defeated! ”
"That's right! In the past two years, Guo Taiwei has never left Hebei, and Hebei has built him like a fortress. But how can Hedong be so easy to defend. ”
"Isn't there a Han scholar?"
"If Master Han has been in Hedong all the time, who would be worried! Give Liao Dog a pair of wings, and it will also be shot down by the spaceship! But now that he has been gone for two years, the Liao people have long been familiar with the current situation in Hedong."
There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant for a while. Whether Han Gang can keep Hedong or not, there were different opinions for a while, until dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone down from the west, and a group of riders whipped off on the street in front of the building.
The number of riders is nearly 100, and everyone on the street is looking sideways. After all, as long as you live in the capital, you won't be unclear that there are only a few people in the court who can pull up a team of this size when traveling.
"It's the Golden Gun class."
The camp of Ban Zhi's guards outside the imperial city is near the Eight Immortal Tower, and the people who drink in the Eight Immortal Towers will certainly not be unfamiliar with the clothes and costumes of Ban Zhi, which is completely different from ordinary soldiers.
"Why are there so many?" Ban Zhi is the guardian of the heavenly family, how can they escort ordinary people, not to mention that there are quite a few people, there are forty or fifty horsemen.
In addition to Ban Zhi, there were twenty or thirty Yuan Sui wearing Zhu clothes, but they didn't see the cool umbrella. However, judging from the number of Yuan Sui, it must be a high-ranking official at the ruling level.
"This is going north, isn't it Master Han?" One guessed.
"How can it be so fast!? Anyway, it will take a few days to prepare. How can you just say go. ”
But at this moment, the chairs on the second floor were rattling from the ceiling overhead. Immediately after that, the windows upstairs were pushed open one by one, and a series of shouts sounded on the second floor: "It's Master Han San!" ”
"It's Han Yukun!"
The people who can drink in the upstairs seat are either rich and noble, or official eunuchs, who have seen more than people in the market, and they recognize Han Ganglai, who is becoming famous, at a glance.
"Amitabha. I didn't expect that Mr. Han took national affairs so seriously. ”
"This time Hedong can be regarded as able to let go of half of people's hearts."
The drinkers downstairs then stirred up, as if they had lit a fire in the crowd, and suddenly became boiling. Just another sentence that cooled down the boiling atmosphere.
"Rest assured what? The dignified deputy privy envoy also went in such a hurry. The situation in Hedong must be terrible. The old man said coldly.
The military situation is like fire, of course, it must be fast. But when it came to Han Gang, people had to be moved. The usual noise in the connecting buildings turned into silence at this time.
"Amitabha, the Buddha is above, I hope that Deputy Han Shu can be victorious." The middle-aged man surnamed Li proclaimed the Buddha's name and prayed for Han Gang.
After he reminded him, the rest of the people also prayed for victory for Han Gang's Heavenly Gods and Buddhas.
In the twilight and the sound of horses' hooves, Han Gang galloped away from Tokyo City and rushed to the northern battlefield with mountains and mountains in the hope and worry of the soldiers and civilians in the capital.
