Chapter 31: The Ninefold Self-Advance and Retreat (10)

After the pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, the process that should be taken is over, and then it is His Majesty's resignation. That is, the next two days of rest, and wait until the day of the regular participation, and resign to the Son of Heaven.

Han Gang didn't expect the Son of Heaven to summon himself to the right again, unless the emperor's mind changed, but looking at the way he was in the right place today, Zhao Ji didn't have the slightest idea of keeping himself in the court, but was very much looking forward to opening up the Xianghan Cao Yun.

Anyway, he is not interested in dragging his feet like some officials, but instead asks to see the Son of Heaven again, hoping to hit a big luck. It was his own choice to take up the position of Jingxi, otherwise he would not have mentioned it to the public. Compared with being in the capital, going to the west of Beijing has a lot of benefits for his own plans, but this does not mean that Han Gang is willing to let the emperor stabilize his little bit of caution, and serve as an official outside the capital for more than ten years.

Han Gang could see that his employer had deep scruples about his age, and he didn't want to see him live in two prefectures in his thirties.

If he can return to Xihe Road to defend the town, Han Gang is happy to take office, and while developing the local economy, he can even find a way to seize Lanzhou, and if he has the opportunity, he can also take back the Hexi Corridor by the way. But Han Gang doesn't count on it, unless he has a special honor, he basically has no chance to return to the township to serve as a pro-people official or a supervisor. It is only possible to be transferred to work where his talents are needed.

It is certainly impossible for a normal person to be willing.

And Han Gang is normal.

Since he has done so many things, of course, Han Gang also hopes to get a reasonable return, if he is called like a horse and a cow, he is naturally unwilling, unwilling, and does not intend to bear it silently. If there is such an encounter in the future life, it is needless to say what to do, but in this era, it is usually only a sigh, no matter how you say it, it is a monopoly, leaving people with no other choice.

But this is a later story, Jingxi's errand Han Gang is still very happy, as for the future, let's talk about it later, take care of the present.

Han Gang was in a hurry, he still had some ideas to pass on, in order to be able to successfully complete this errand, Han Gang also needed some help.

When Zhou Nan came in, he saw her husband moving his pen all the time. She didn't look at what Han Gang was writing, she just sent a fox skin jacket over, which was sunburned two days ago while the sun was good, and Fang Cai had already been roasted on fire, and she wore it on her body, but it was very warm, and she also carried a piece of Zhou Nan's heart. sniffed carefully, and was also contaminated with a trace of Zhou Nan's unique sweet and elegant fragrance.

The fox skin jacket brought by Zhou Nan was not very precious, but it was very warm. Compared to a few days ago, a flower bear skin sent from home on Xihe Road is much stronger. The black and white lines of the bear skin are very eye-catching.

However, now it is popular for the ladies in Beijing to use the small piece of fur under the fox's armpit, and thousands of pieces of fur sewn - that is, the so-called collection of armpits into fur - Han Gang's family does not have it, which is too exaggerated. There was also a leather jacket sewn from lambskin that was still in the womb, someone sent it, and Han Gang pushed it after hearing about it. Even if it is hunting, it will not shoot a mother animal that is pregnant or has a young child.

After putting on the jacket, he took Zhou Nan's hand and asked her to sit down on her lap. Zhou Nan's little hands are delicate and smooth. Run, it's just that her physique is cold, and her hands and feet can easily become cold in winter. Han Gang held it tightly, and the heat of his palm spread to Zhou Nan's little hand, which gradually warmed up.

"Will the officials rest at home tomorrow?" Zhou Nan snuggled in Han Gang's arms, greedy for the sense of security brought by his solid chest, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice.

Han Gang shook his head and pointed to a famous post on the table: "I'm going to see Shen Cunzhong tomorrow, I guess I don't need to pick a day when I come to the door now." ”

Han Gang didn't know if Shen Kuo was willing to give in, after all, he came down from the Hanlin Bachelor, and his status was not low. In terms of the class system, the Hanlin Bachelor is one level higher than the Longtu Pavilion Bachelor, and under normal circumstances, when he leaves office, the imperial court will also give corresponding gifts to maintain the authority of the important ministers of the imperial court.

However, at the moment, Shen Kuo is going to be demoted for his crimes, and there should be no gifts, if he can be transferred to Ruzhou or Tangzhou, he can also be a little easier.

……………………

Since Wu Chong became the prime minister, he has been in the city. There are countless officials of all sizes who come to pay respects, some of them can refuse, but some can not refuse, and when they return to the mansion from the palace, they have to meet dozens of officials every day, which is more than twice as busy as when they were in the western mansion.

finally had to sit down and rest in the study, and the eldest son Wu Anshi personally brought tea.

"I heard that Han Gang has already gone to the palace today?" Wu Anshi said with a smile, "This time, Han Gang entered the Hajj, and it took almost a month to be able to face the saint, and it seems that he has fallen out of favor in front of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Where did you hear that?" Wu Chong looked up at his eldest son. When Han Gang was hot, he had persuaded himself not to target Han Gang too much, but now that Han Gang seemed to be no longer valued in front of the king, he became gloating again, which made Wu Chong worry about his future and the future of his Wu family.

"That's what everyone says out there. Han Gang was a transfer envoy, if the Son of Heaven valued it, where might he turn in order at the pavilion gate. ”

Wu Chong has always disliked to mention official affairs to his family, especially after he was promoted to the two mansions, and the state affairs discussed in the Chongzheng Palace were basically hidden in his stomach.

However, if the son commits something in the officialdom, he can't escape the charge of being an old man, so when it is time to mention something, he will also mention one or two.

"If the luck of the Xianghan Dynasty can be successful, it will be beneficial to the country. I can't get along with Han Gang, and I'll talk about it when he really gets into trouble. ”

"Didn't someone say a few days ago that Han Gang was so happy that he wanted to go to the ......"

"Don't associate with them too much, they're not good people." Wu Chong glared at his son, "They are all from the drill camp, and when they see the wind and make the rudder, they are just like that Shen Kuo." Snorted coldly, "Don't look at who is in charge of the Xijing Imperial Historical Observatory, and who is the one who judges Henan, Han Gang goes to Jingxi, how many eyes are staring, there is no need to overstep the line." ”

The struggle in the political arena does not say who is put to death. Although the impeachment in the above table is indispensable, it is indispensable to shout and kill the target, and it is necessary to thank the world, correct discipline, and set an example. But in fact, even if you succeed in solving the opponent, it is basically just a demolition.

It's not even too harsh, going to Jiangxi or Jinghu is already a very severe punishment. Since Ding Wei, there has been no example of kicking an opponent to Lingnan because of political disputes.

Since Han Gang is an official abroad, there is no need for Wu Chong to do anything more.

What's more, how many years has Wu Chong been in the two mansions, where can he not know the significance of the Bianhe River to Kaifeng, from the Son of Heaven to the small people, everyone knows that once there is no Bianhe, the city of Kaifeng cannot exist alone.

So when Han Gang was confirmed to preside over the Xianghan Caoqu, Wu Chong didn't think about it at all. Whoever dares to get along with Han Gang at this time, the Son of Heaven will not be able to get along with him.

Anyway, Han Gang won't be able to enter the capital within a few years, how the Son of Heaven plans to treat Han Gang, and why he didn't let Han Gang enter the right place today, people with a discerning eye can see through it. In this case, a rash move will benefit Han Gang. The Son of Heaven can dry Han Gang, but if someone attacks him, the Son of Heaven will promote him, otherwise who will dare to do things in the future.

If Han Gang wants to do things in Jingxi, let him do a good job, and he doesn't have to interfere. It's better to worry about yourself first, for a phase, your own family has become the target of public criticism. Lu Huiqing won't talk about it, even Wang Jue is like a black-eyed chicken. Wu Chong pressed his hand on the table, and sighed involuntarily: "It's cold in high places......"

"Is it Su Zizhan's small words for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Wu Anshi reacted quickly, but she didn't understand why Wu Chong was so emotional.

Wu Chong's expression was plain, and his son Mu Ne was not a day or two.

Although he has ambitions to oppose the new law, Wu Chong does not like Su Shi's actions very much, but this does not mean that he will not like Su Shi's words.

Since Su Shi arrived in Mizhou, his style of writing has changed greatly and he has transcended the old conventions. Some people don't like Su Shi's style after the great change, and think that it is not in line with the purpose of the words, but some people are very optimistic. In any case, Su Shi came out of his own pocket and created a new world.

Wu Chong also feels good about this, and the new "Meishan Collection" published two years ago is on his desk and he often reads it. And the "Mizhou Hunting" that was circulated before, Wu Chong felt that he couldn't scratch the itch, and it was very weird to sing it in the old tune of Jiang Chengzi. But now this Yongyue poem written in the Mid-Autumn Festival of Bingchen, as well as the mourning poem, faintly have the demeanor of everyone.

Previously, Su Shi's term in Mizhou expired, and he was supposed to be transferred to Xuzhou. However, since the discovery of coal mines in Xuzhou, the millions of stone pig iron used in the capital to build armor have to be provided by Li Guojian, and in case Wang Anshi still asked Lu Jiawen to go to Xuzhou, while Su Shi stayed in Mizhou. According to Wang Anshi's meaning, if he was asked to fill in the words, he was already a full term.

"In fact, Xu Dezhan's writing is also good, but the poetry is not as good as Su Zizhan." Wu Anshi suddenly said again.

"Far from it." Wu Chong shook his head, "The article is hateful, Su Shi has been out for a few years, and his pen power has become more and more mature, and Xu Xi is far behind." ”

Wu Chong put down his thoughts and commented on today's literary world, "In today's literary world, since Ouyang Wenzhong left, Wang Jiefu has been the leader for many years, and now there is finally one more Su Zizhan. ”

Before Su Shi, Xu Xi's article was well-known for a while, and the world was vying to praise it, but now it has been covered up for Su Shi. Wu Chong doesn't like Xu Xi, recently preached in the court to attack the Western Xia, collect the revival of the spirit, Xu Xi is one of the loudest people, I heard that he also married Lu Huiqing, for the two-year-old young son, and Lu Huiqing's daughter set a family affair.

Wu Anshi didn't dare to argue with her father, but Wu Chong hated Lu Huiqing, so she didn't like Xu Xi together, and she was silent for a while, and watched Wu Chong take out the Meishan collection from the bookshelf and read it casually.
