Chapter 28: The Officials and the Heavenly Passes (22)
[Today's two shifts, this is the second shift. There will be a shift at noon tomorrow. 】
Wang Zhongzheng knows You Shixiong very well, and in the previous battle of the summer, You Shixiong in the Qinfeng Road Transit Division had a lot of contact with him.
"Hengqu Gate has always been both civil and military. At that time, Fan Wen was guarding Shaanxi, and Mr. Hengqu wrote to take Hehuang as a help, which can be described as far-sighted. Later, he taught apprentices and talked more about military affairs. Mr. Han is one of the most top-notch, but You Shixiong is also a first-class talent. Last year, You Shixiong and Wang Xiangmin's second son Wang Hou were both transferred with the army and had many meritorious achievements. Weichen's little credit is also thanks to the help of You Shixiong and Wang Hou. ”
Empress Xiang was very satisfied with Wang Zhongzheng's answer. Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. She at least knew these two sentences. Although Wang Zhongzheng emphasized You Shixiong, from Fang Cai's few paragraphs, it can also be seen that Wang Zhongzheng understands the civil officials and military generals in Shaanxi.
She nodded secretly. No wonder he can lead the army to conquer the south and the north, and he is known as the first general in the forbidden middle school, and Qin Han will also be stunned, this is not for no reason.
Lifting the red pen, he wrote You Shixiong's name on the blank screen beside him, and asked Wang Zhongzheng again when he returned to the queen: "Where is You Shixiong an official now?" ”
Wang Zhongzheng was stunned for a moment, generally speaking, if the Son of Heaven asks like this, he must want to promote this person. It's just that You Shixiong is now a heavy minister.
"Now the downstream division is on Ganliang Road. With the right division and the right treasure Wenge right to send Liangzhou, and lead the Ganliang Economic Strategy Envoy and the second position of the head of the soldiers and horses. Wang Zhongzheng bowed his head and replied, he was afraid that he would not be able to hang on the queen's face, "Ganliang is a newly restored land, since the great rise of Tibet, it has not been under the jurisdiction of China for three hundred years, and the rise of the righteous army can only be restrained." and they will be able to keep it. You Shixiong has prestige and ability in Kansai, and his achievements are obvious, so half a year after the summer break, the official family will promote him without asking about seniority. ”
Wang Zhongzheng's words were a bit long-winded, and it felt strange to listen to the queen. I thought about it and felt like I understood. This is Wang Zhongzheng's persuasion not to promote You Shixiong immediately, so as not to make the road unstable.
She had a little regret and sighed, "I didn't expect to be a handsome minister all the way." ”
Since the curtain was lowered, his mind was all on the court, and he didn't even have time to understand the names of the handsome ministers all the way, thinking about it to the queen, he felt that he had wasted too much time on Sima Guang and others.
If you think about it carefully, most of the envoys of the four major supervisors in the world, such as Shuaisi, Caosi, Cangsi, and Jujury, don't know who Lu Dao is. Even if you have heard of the names, you don't know what their past merits and mistakes are, let alone what their abilities are. And under the various road superintendents, there are 400 military states, more than 2,000 counties, and countless towns.
She understands the difficulty of governing the country now.
"This is also a promotion from the official family." Wang Zhongzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The official family is the master, so the people can do their part and use their strengths." ”
'So you have to be calm?' Xiang looked at Wang Zhongzheng suspiciously, and wondered if Lu Dao was admonishing again.
The resentment in my heart arose spontaneously. Although this is also her husband's opinion, even Wang Jue let it go with the reason of 'it is better to make a work'. But Sima Guang's generation wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was not familiar with state affairs and directly bullied him.
Wang Zhongzheng didn't feel the change in Xiang Queen's thoughts, and continued: "The Guangrui army is trapped in Xianyang, and it is still fighting for trapped beasts. Fortunately, Han Bachelor entered the city alone and said that he would surrender the rebels. The culprit Wu Kui set himself on fire, but the body was unrecognizable, so he did not repay the credit. The remaining nearly 3,000 surviving rebels, along with their entire families, were all sent to Xihe Road. This is also at the invitation of Master Han, saying that it is to kill and surrender to hurt His Majesty's Shengde. ”
"Bachelor Han is benevolent." Xiang said to the queen from the bottom of his heart.
"That's true. Both Beizhou and Baozhou were sentenced after surrendering to the military, and only Guangruijun was saved. ”
Shi Deyi raised his eyes behind his back to look at the beams. The queen and Wang Zhongzheng forgot that Han Gang was in Hedong, and killed only a few thousand of the Montenegrin party members who returned to the south, and took 23,000 beheadings, and the Jiaozhi people only had eight toes.
Wang Zhongzheng said that when he was in high spirits, "When the river was opened, because the Guangrui army was one of the best elites in the western army, it was also sent to the battlefield. He made many meritorious deeds and atoned for his past sins, but the official family only gave him gold and silver land, and did not give him an official position. Moreover, in the Battle of Hehuang, the generals and colonels led by the Guangrui Army died seventy-seven or eighty-eight, so that they would not be in trouble. ”
"It's no wonder that Master Han was able to stand up before he could stand up." Empress Xiang was deeply touched, "I made such a great contribution when I became an official ten years ago, how can I afford it." ”
Wang Zhongzheng corrected: "The sage misunderstood, Master Han did not receive merit in the two matters of Hengshan and Zhaocheng, and all of them resigned. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Because when he was conquered by Han Daguan, Master Han clearly said to Wang Xianggong that Luo Wu was difficult to defend and Hengshan would be defeated, if he had to go, don't count him as a merit!"
Empress Xiang was surprised inexplicably: "Master Han actually said that!" ”
"Isn't that what you say?" Wang Zhongzheng shook his head, "But Wang Xianggong is also powerful, but he insisted on sending Han Bachelor to Han Daguan's account." It's your business to say that you don't want to take credit, and you still have to do what the court wants you to do! ”
When the queen heard this, she felt even more incredible, there was such a practice of forcing people to go on the road, in terms of the personnel arrangements of the court, if the appointed officials were unwilling to do it, they would not be forced. Wang Anshi is not afraid of Han Gang's sabotage?
Wang Zhongzheng sighed, "So it is really worthy of the name of the bad minister, even if Bachelor Han bumps into it, there is no way at all." ”
Wang Zhongzheng made a little joke, and when he saw that the queen pursed her lips, as if she wanted to laugh but was inconvenient to laugh, her heart was even more relaxed.
"But the rare place of Master Han is here. He went to Yanzhou and went directly to the most dangerous Luowu City, without any delay. When he arrived in Luowucheng, he did his best to the injured and sick, and in the face of the Western Thieves, he also assisted the two coaches Zhang and Gao with his heart. You must know that once Lu Dao wins, Bachelor Han is the one who suffers the most, and he will be laughed at if he has no merit, but Bachelor Han doesn't care at all. If it weren't for the rebellion of the Guangrui Army, Luo Wu would have won the battle for the official army. ”
Empress Xiang already knew about Han Gang's great exploits in Hengshan, but she couldn't imagine that Han Gang was doing his best for national affairs regardless of the result of being ridiculed.
Wang Zhongzheng sighed softly: "Weichen once heard the official family say, 'It is difficult to keep the words, and there is more than one person in advance. But he still did his best, but Han Gang was alone. 'Bei called Master Han a very righteous person. ”
acted so brightly, thinking of the night of the winter solstice, Han Gang faced the Queen Mother's righteousness and strictness, but Empress Xiang was not surprised at all.
……………………
In the afternoon, the Chongzheng Hall sat again, and Han Gang and all the rulers except Wang Qi arrived before and after.
At the foot of the hall there is a judgment note, and there is a royal history in the hall Li Ding, and Pu Zongmeng, a scholar of Hanlin who has knowledge of the system, is also waiting on the side, preparing the edict.
Sima Guang, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen. When Han Gang passed by the East Pavilion outside the hall, he didn't see Sima Guang waiting inside. His results speak for themselves.
For everything that happened at today's court meeting, the Zaifu quickly gave a punishment decision.
Cai Qu and Zhang Dian all supported the speedy and strict handling, Han Zhen and Xue Xiang expressed cautious support, Lu Gongzhu continued to remain silent, and others, including Han Gang, were not qualified to speak, let alone jump out to express their opposition, so it was smoothly finalized.
Sima Guang entered the pilgrimage and gave things and medicine according to the rules. Whether he accepts it or not, the court still gives him a decent face. But after that, let him go back to Luoyang and never leave him. Han Gang originally wanted him to go to Yinxu, but now it is unrealistic.
As for Yu Shitai's impeachment of Wang Jue, they were all rejected. Before echoing Sima Guang's imperial history in the palace, he issued an edict and reprimanded him as a whole, and dismissed him from his post and released him.
In the imperial history, Li Ding did not defend his subordinates, and took it up. There is such a big thing, and his position as director has already been done, and when he goes back today, he should invite himself out.
The impeachment of Lu Gongshu, Cai Qu, Zhang Dian and Han Gang, who were impeached by Cai Jing, did not ask the empress. However, Han Gang, Zhang Dian and Cai did plead guilty, forcing Lu Gongzhu to bow his head together, and they were punished for half a month. There's no arguing, who would talk about such a trivial matter?
As for the remaining political affairs that need to be dealt with urgently, everything will follow the process. There was something that was not understood in the recital, and several Zaisuke explained it to the empress in detail according to their respective areas of competence. As the two Hanlin scholars of the Son of Heaven, Han Gang and Pu Zongmeng, were also consulted.
Due to Empress Xiang's unfamiliarity with government affairs, it was much slower to deal with than when Zhao Ji was there, but it was not delayed until the next day, and when it was almost dusk, it was finally over.
After taking a break from government affairs, the important ministers of the palace each drank the tea soup given by the queen. Zhang Dian glanced at Han Gang, and Han Gang understood and bowed slightly. With a turn of his eyes, he looked at Lu Gongzhu.
Wang Jue avoided the throne and waited for the crime, and today the next day was led by Lu Gongzhu to enter the Funing Hall to visit the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven was seriously ill and bedridden, and in addition to being on duty as a guard, the Zaifu had to enter the Funing Hall to inquire about the illness and visit the Son of Heaven's condition in case someone isolated China and the rest of the world - this is the power that Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo earned when Renzong was ill, and it has been continued. Han Gang has a different identity, but he enters the palace once a day and walks with Zaifu.
Because of Sima Guang's matter, the queen should not be bewitched by Duke Lu now, and it is useless to say anything. If Lu Gongzhu really had any ideas, entering the palace to ask about illness was an opportunity he had to grasp.
When he arrived in the dormitory of Funing Palace, Zhao Ji had already been awakened. Keep your eyes open and wait for the Zaifu to come here.
Lu Gong took the lead, greeted Zhao Ji according to the practice of the past few days, took the rhyme book to confirm his sanity, comforted a few words, and then led his colleagues to retire to the Son of Heaven. They didn't delay, and Zhao Ji didn't stay any guests.
They got up again, took two steps back, and turned around and went out of the dormitory. But Lu Gongzhu, who should have left the dormitory with the rest of Zaifu, did not move, and he saluted Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, and he begs to stay." ”
And so it was!
Han Gang breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Gongshu's counterattack finally came, which was much better than him hiding it all the time.
But what Lu Gongzhu wants to say is to make people think about it more, and they can't figure it out for a while.
