Chapter 31: Stopping the Clouds and Listening to the Song (3)

Han Gang was silent, several Zaifu were also silent, and even Han Jiang, who was worried about Hebei, and even Wang Anshi, who was the closest to Zhao Ji emotionally, did not speak, they all lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, waiting for the answer of the Son of Heaven.

The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became strange and tense inexplicably, and Xiang raised her head in wonder to the queen, looking left and right, but she couldn't figure out the situation.

No matter what the reason, it is an undeniable fact that Zhao Ji will advance and retreat as he pleases on the sickbed. In this regard, the court is not without resentment, and even disgust. Even if they benefited from this, after coming to power, Han Jiang, Zeng Bu, Zhang Qi and others actually didn't want Zhao Ji to toss like this anymore, otherwise they would follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.

In the past two months, there have been frequent changes in the personnel of the court, which has caused great interference in the political situation and even local government affairs, and on the other hand, because the Song Liao war is imminent, the candidates for Zaifu should not be changed easily.

The two governments, which have gradually run in, do not want the Son of Heaven to set off any more turmoil at this time, which will only benefit the old party that has just been suppressed. At the same time, let the political situation continue to deteriorate. The Zaisuke, who were deeply rifted with each other, suddenly cooperated intimately at this time.

Although it is not a hard resistance, it is just a passive and passive resistance. System...... Even even. It's not a system, it's just not so proactive. But this has already shown the intentions of the Zaisuke.

In the silence, Zaisuke felt a little uneasy in his heart. Zhao Jiwei's power over the years still exists, and if he is forced, few people dare to stand up for it.

Han Gang's breathing also became thinner. If Zhao Ji continues to toss, everyone will doubt whether he is sober, and the Zai Fu will join forces to easily put him in the air. However, the problems that arise from this will bring unpredictable changes to the government. And it is not so easy to join forces under the authority of the Son of Heaven.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment, Zhao Ji finally raised his finger and drew two words on the sand table: Pingzhang.

Wang Anshi responded: "The minister is here." ”

Stay a little.

Since Wang Anshi was asked to stay for a while, of course the others didn't need to stay.

This is not the result that the Zaizhi want to see, but compared to Zhao Ji's temper, it is not the worst.

"The ministers are leaving." Han Jiang led other courtiers except Wang Anshi to salute Zhao Ji, and then rushed out.

There was only footsteps in the corridor, and the ministers who came out of the dormitory were still silent. Either gloomy or cold, from their respective expressions, it was completely impossible to see that anyone was happy that Zhao Ji's condition had improved.

Zhao Ji only left Wang Anshi, is this to win him over? The answer is clear at a glance. No one will fail to see it.

In terms of affection, Wang Anshi and the Son of Heaven are the deepest. The Son of Heaven on the sickbed was moved with affection, and it was not difficult to let Wang Anshi die. And if the important affairs of the Pingzhang military state are supported by the Son of Heaven, they can hold both governments in their hands.

Zhao Ji wants to make the two governments hate the same enemy? I guess I have the confidence to be able to hold the position. Han Gang thought.

Cai did take two steps slower, fell in front of Han Gang, looked at the front and said, "The Son of Heaven's illness has finally improved, which can be described as a great blessing for the country." God bless...... Yukun, what do you say? ”

Han Gang nodded without hesitation: "What Xianggong said is that it is God's blessing." ”

There was a moment of silence, and even the footsteps in the corridor seemed to stop, but it immediately returned to normal, but the solemn atmosphere seemed to dissipate a lot.

Zhang Dian walked to Han Jiang's side: "With Guo Kui here, Hebei will be fine." ”

Cai Qu's voice raised a little: "The ordnance supervisor should speed up the construction of the winding machine, the sooner the better, and send it to the army one day earlier, the more stable it will be." The shortfall in armaments should also be filled as soon as possible. ”

Han Gang said: "The winding machine is conducive to defending the city, not to the field. If the Liao invade the south, field battles are inevitable. The principle of labor-saving winding machine is already clear, and it is not difficult to invent another winding device suitable for field combat. ”

"Yukun is a bamboo in his chest?" Xue Xiang asked.

Han Gang shook his head: "Han Gang only understands the reason, but doesn't know its use." You have to let a professional craftsman go. If you can reward him with a knight, you will get something soon. ”

Han Gang actually saw that he once had a simple winding device with two hooks on a rope, which could save half the effort when winding a crossbow. The structure is so simple that you only need to pierce a piece of window paper. If you can think of it, you can make it.

Han Jiang was already anxious when he was his hometown, but as soon as Han Gang mentioned it, he grabbed it, "The matter of the reward, the political affairs hall took it." As long as you can build a winding machine, needless to say, the little envoy is no problem to be an ambassador. However, the manufacture of prison still has to be bothered by the Privy Council. ”

The princes of Dongfu have their own division of labor, and each has a bunch of things to manage, and ordinary small affairs are directly solved within the scope of their respective responsibilities, but Prime Minister Han Jiang is in charge. The ordnance superintendent belongs to the Eastern Government, just because it produces military weapons, and the officials within the ordnance superintendent are basically more influential on the side of the Privy Council.

Han Jiang solemnly admonished, of course Zhang Dian couldn't say no, nodded and said, "This is natural, please rest assured." ”

"Hebei doesn't have to worry about it. But in Shaanxi, it is not so easy for Lu Jifu to survive. Zeng Bu turned around and asked Han Gangdao, "I don't know what Yukun thinks?" ”

Han Gang has no friendship with Zeng Bu, and it is even more difficult to make friends because of Wang Anshi, but Zeng Bu, who participated in political affairs, could not turn him away.

"How to do it, Han Gang has already reported to the Son of Heaven before. You have to make a decision when it's time to make a decision, and it's not feasible to make a decision at both ends. Han Gang paused, "If Lu Jifu can let go of his selfishness, he will definitely be able to make this decision." He is facing a dilemma at the moment, and no matter who does it, it is impossible to do it all. However, as long as Lu Jifu is willing to take a step back, it will immediately be a sea and a sky. And he had re-enabled Qu Zhen before, and he could even do better. ”

"It's not a good decision." Zeng Bu shook his head, "Chong Ge is not a worry-free person, so it is better to transfer him out of Shaanxi as soon as possible." ”

Han Gang laughed: "If Pule City successfully lifts the siege, the seeds can no longer stay on the edge." But if he attacks Xingling directly, and the Liao people raise troops to fight back, it will be difficult to do. The imperial court can't afford to lose the people who beg the Liao people for perfection! ”

Han Gang is reasonable, but it is not easy to answer, give a military general to hold it, which Wenchen is not annoyed? Zeng Bugu said to him: "What about the party members of Qingtongxia? ”

Up to now, the news received by the imperial court was only that the remnants of the party in Qingtongxia had changed under the leadership of Renduo Lingding and Ye Xiaoma. For the Zaifu, the remnants of this group of Western Xia were very dangerous.

"Jingyuan Road has Kumamoto to preside, and Mingsha City has Zhao Long to resist, so you don't need to worry." Zhang Dian said very briskly, "I still have to talk about Hebei, and we must set up a four-way camp as soon as possible." ”

"Not necessarily yet, right?" Zhang Qi also threw himself into the discussion. The role of the camp is not to prepare for war, but to fight, and it will only be set up in response to the big war, in the old year when the attack on Jiaozhi had set up a camp, once the camp was set up, it was equivalent to saying that it was going to war, "You can prepare first, as for the four-way camp, it is not too late to start when you get the news of the Liao people's assembly." ”

"It's not the same now. In the old years, the Liao people went south, and now they will join forces with mandarin ducks. After the soldiers and horses arrived, they would go out of Yehuling, and go south through Fengshengzhou [Zhangjiakou, Zhuolu area] and Nanjing Road. But now Yelu Yixin was stationed in Xijin Mansion [present-day Beijing] in winter, and if he wanted to invade the south, he could reach the border in two or three days. ”

Zhang Dan's words made Zhang Qi shake a little.

"It's better to consult Guo Zhongtong first." Han Gang said.

Han Gang's proposal was not liked by the ministers, but it was useful. Han Jiang nodded, "...... That's right. ”

Whether or not to set up a camp on the four roads of Hebei, it is necessary to consult the opinions of Guo Kui, the governor of the Daimyo Mansion and the pacification envoy of Hebei.

In the old days, Shaanxi had four roads, Yanyan Road, Huanqing Road, Jingyuan Road, Qinfeng Road, plus the core Yongxing Military Road, which can be said to be the five major war zones in the Kansai region - these five roads are under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi pacification envoy, but this position has been abolished, after all, the scope of power is too large, and Shaanxi is a perennial use of troops, so that the emperor can not rest assured - later there is one more Xihe Road, and now there are Yinxia Road and Ganliang Road. Corresponding to these eight Jingluo envoys, there are two transshipment envoys of Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road.

The situation in Hebei is similar, there is also a pacification envoy with a general regency power, as well as a separate pacification envoy and a transshipment envoy. Caosi transfer road, there are Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road. The commander in charge of the military is Dingzhou Road, Gaoyangguan Road, Zhendingfu Road, and Damingfu Road, and there is also a pacification envoy along the border of Hebei who is also the governor of Xiongzhou. It's just that there is one difference from Shaanxi, that is, Hebei's Shuai Si does not carry the word "Jinglu", and is simply a pacification envoy. It is that after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, there is no war on the border of Hebei, and there is no need to go through military strategy, it is enough to be pacified.

Guo Kui, who was transferred to the Daimyo Mansion, is now a member of the Privy Council and the pacification envoy of Hebei to control the military power of Hebei, and all the four commanders are under his jurisdiction. Now, if you want to set up a four-way camp, you must take it as the governor of the capital.

"Yukun, cousin Ling is now in Guangxin Suicheng, and he really wants to go to war, but he is the first to bear the brunt!" Xue Xiang whispered to Han Gang.

Li Xin is in Dingzhou, to be precise, the Guangxin Army under the Dingzhou Road. As the commander of the Guangxin Army and the jurisdiction of Dingzhou Road, he sat in Suicheng. This is actually the position of Yang Liulang and Yang Yanzhao in the old years. Tongliangmen and Tiesui City are one of the most important strategic strongholds on the border of Hebei. Once the Liao invaded south, if the defenders of Suicheng could not block the enemy at the border, then the remaining task was to counterattack into the Liao border.

Han Gang said coldly: "Since you have been reused, you have to die for the country." Nothing to think about! ”

Zhang Dian said: "Li Xinhan fought bravely, and he also had a reputation in Hebei, he guarded Suicheng, and maybe he would be another Yang Liulang in the future." ”

"Yukun." Han Jiang heard the conversation between Han Gang, Xue Xiang and Zhang Dan, and asked in a raised voice, "Cousin Ling is the one who once killed seven generals with seven spears under Cage Pole City?" ”

"Exactly." Han Gang nodded.

Zhang Dian added: "When he was in Jingnan, he was a pioneer, only carrying a small school with a spear on his back, killing more than ten barbarian generals in a row, and then breaking through the eight villages in five days. However, the most rare thing for Li Xin is that he is strict with the army and willing to obey orders. There is no rebellious spirit, not such an arrogant and untamed person. ”

"It's really rare." Han Jiang nodded in approval when he heard this. Cai Qu, Zhang Qi, and even Zeng Bu also admired together.

Han Gang humbled his cousin a few words and exchanged a look with Zhang Tun. For the time being, don't worry, their compliments aren't just compliments.
