Chapter 38: How to Divide the Importance with the King (9)

"Things are always easier said than done, no matter how difficult they are, they just have to be done."

Han Gang has a big and difficult goal that he plans to spend his entire life to achieve.

Han Gang said: "I still remember Jiayue's poem, thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms. ”

Zhang Dian narrowed his eyes slightly, this is not like Han Gang's character. "The old talisman has been burned, and the new peach is also old, should it be replaced with a new one?" He asked.

"There is also a saying that 'three years of new, three years of old, and another three years of sewing and mending'."

"Won't we have to wait and see?" Han Gang's attitude was frank, and Zhang Dian laughed. Today's visit is also to further confirm Han Gang's thoughts, and now it is confirmed.

Han Gang said: "It's true that you still have to be stable. And then there's time. ”

With today's status and prestige, Han Gang can still endure it. I have to say that he is so calm, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the prime minister's bearing is not an exaggeration. More importantly, this is not indifferent to fame and fortune, but rather the fact that the authority to participate in national politics is not regarded as a priority goal over all else, but only as a tool to achieve the goal, which can be abandoned at any time to achieve the goal. Of course, Han Gang didn't despise this tool named Zaizhi, in his heart, most of the time he felt that he could get it back at any time if he lost it.

Zhang Dian never doubted the possibility of becoming prime minister, and it was only a matter of time before he was concerned. But when it comes to his views on the position of the ruler, he is obviously not as free and easy as Han Gang.

"By the way, Brother Zihou, you will visit today, so you are not afraid of being misunderstood?"

As soon as Han Gang visited his father-in-law, Zhang Dian hurried over, and in the eyes of the outside world, he must have come over to conspire with countermeasures. Moreover, when the privy envoy visits the privy envoy, the order of the upper and lower levels is lost, which will also make the Son of Heaven or the queen suspicious.

Zhang Duan snorted: "It's true that you are in a place of suspicion, do you have to restrain your hands?" What do they do? ”

He is not afraid of things and has a similar temperament to Han Gang. When they met for the first time, Zhang Dian looked at Han Gang with a pleasing eye. This is the main reason why the two are on good terms. The political views are not much different, they have common interests, they have also presided over the Southern Expedition together, and they have the friendship of robes, these are all things that came later.

Some people have eyebrows that are not eyebrows, and noses that are not noses, and when they look left and right, they see the words "hateful". Such a person, Zhang Dian will not approach, and he has not wronged himself. But it's pleasing to the eye, such as Su Shi, although his political views are completely opposed, he still has a deep friendship. Even when he implemented the new law from Wang Anshi, Su Shi's side also came and went more frequently than Zeng Bu, who was also Wang Anshi's arm.

"And I'm on the right track."

"Business?"

"On the instructions of the queen, persuade Yukun to take back your resignation......" Zhang Dian looked at Han Gang and said with a smile, "Presumably Yukun you will not agree, I won't bother to speak, anyway, it's just in your thoughts." But I just heard a joke, and I want to talk to Yukun about it. Do you know the Heavenly Fire Stove? ”

Is the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty idle enough to do this? Came to visit the Privy Counsellor, and took it with you casually, just to tell a joke?

"I really don't know what to do." Han Gang shook his head. He was sure that Zhang was not trying to tell a joke.

"Yukun, you should know that there are also people in Luoyang who have opened a glass workshop, and I don't know where they learned to make silver mirrors," Speaking of this, the corners of Zhang Dan's mouth twitched, originally only stored in the skills of the Supervisor, the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce and the Fujian Zhang family somehow leaked to the outside world, and he was always unhappy in his heart, "However, there are a lot of silver mirror waste products, and the Wen family's six yamen made a bowl-shaped large round mirror with the fragments of the silver mirror." As much as two feet in diameter, it can concentrate light. ”

With hundreds of broken lenses, the light is condensed, which is a concave mirror. Unexpectedly, Wen Jifu actually made the prototype of the solar cooker, I don't know what Wen Yanbo thought when he saw it. Han Gang shook his head, it would definitely be interesting.

It leads the sunlight to fire, so it is called the heavenly fire stove. Its masculine is the most sufficient, and it can remove all yin and evil. It is said that now in Luoyang City, several princes are holding boiling medicine. ”

Are the sun cookers all out? It's also fully practical!

"Silver mirrors aren't cheap." Han Gang is now ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and the wealth and power are given to Wang Yi in charge, but his own industry is more or less understood, "Even if it is a fragment, it is very expensive, and hundreds of broken mirrors are inlaid together, I am afraid that it will not be hundreds of times." ”

It is said that Wen Liuyanai claimed that he could use this as an original to make a weapon to defend the city. As long as there is a larger celestial fire stove on the city wall, it can ignite nest carts, thunderbolt cannons, and even roast enemy soldiers in the air. I heard that during the experiment, a rabbit was scorched. ”

"What do you do when there's no sun? What about rainy days...... It's cloudy......"

"Naturally, I can only leave it alone." Zhang Dian laughed loudly as he spoke, this is really a good joke, and people can't help but take it out and share it with others.

Han Gang didn't believe that Wen Liu would be so confused, even if he was stupid, Wen Yanbo would stop him. Most of them are jokes that have been arranged in the process of circulation.

"Actually, it's useful. Sun...... Well, the heavenly stove further proves that the heat brought by the sun is present in the light, and unlike the stove, the fire can feel the heat even if the light is blocked. ”

"What's the use of that?"

"Zihou......" Han Gang frowned, wanting to speak.

"Alright, alright." Zhang Dian waved his hand, Han Gang was so paranoid that he was helpless, "It's closer to the avenue." The stone steps leading to the top of the mountain, no first step is useless...... Isn't it? ”

Han Gang was equally helpless. Pragmatism like Zhang Gang can be said to be a success and a defeat for the goal that Han Gang wants to achieve. In the name of figuring out the avenue, to discover and summarize the laws of nature, how many people can be attracted, he really has no bottom.

However, Zhang Dian came over and specifically mentioned this matter, of course, not to tell a joke, he wanted to know what Lu Dao was, and Han Gang also understood.

"There are indeed several children of the old ministers in Xijing who are very interested in Gewu Zhizhi, not only Wen Liu. Although he used a pseudonym, there was a paper written by the nephew of Chu Jianzhong's family in the previous issue. He took the charcoal at home and studied it. Inside, I found the lines of wood, as well as leaves and branches. So he speculated that the charcoal was a tree, but it had been buried in the ground for a long time and turned into charcoal. Just like the keels dug out of the ground, many of them are made of ancient beast bones. ”

"He didn't mention this last time I saw Su Zirong." Zhang Dian complained slightly, "Yukun, you know everything, it seems that it is not a rumor without reason." ”

"Yes, indeed." Han Gang nodded.

In any case, experimentation is a hundred times more attractive than studying the scriptures, and it is not difficult to understand the formation of a trend among the gates. And they also have a lot of support in their families, although they are all rich and leisure, but it is needless to say which side the elders of the family will appreciate if they waste their leisure and family wealth on their voices and study useful knowledge.

With the publication of Nature, more and more scholars became interested in qi. In just three issues, just over half a year, Su Song's side began to get submissions from outsiders. If Da Song now has a complete postal system, I believe that more manuscripts will be sent to Su Song.

But it's not bad now. Such a start, he is already very satisfied. As long as there are more researchers, small circles will be formed to communicate with each other, and progress will follow. Take it easy.

Zhang Dian is also very satisfied, everyone who wants to know the way knows the way, and it seems that there is nothing to worry about at all.

……………………

"Zhang Zihou is getting more and more uncontrollable."

said so, but Cai did not have a good face since he heard that Han Gang came to visit Wang Anshi. Now that I heard that Zhang Dian went to see Han Gang again, his face was even worse, and the queen had left Zhang Dian for a moment after the deliberations in the Chongzheng Palace, perhaps to let Zhang Dian persuade Han Gang - but Zhang Dian was willing to agree, and he must have taken the opportunity to collude with Han Gang.

As for Han Gang, his distinction between public and private made Cai Cheng feel weird, no matter what the situation was, it was an unbelievable thing for Han Gang to visit Wang Anshi. How can a normal person be so clearly distinguished? Unless Han Gang is too confident and does not take Wang Anshi's actions to heart, he can visit the political enemy with the superiority of the victor.

No one believed that Han Gang was just a son-in-law to visit his father-in-law, and they all thought that Han Gang was in Wang Anshi's house, and there would inevitably be a dispute or a negotiation for power and profit. Zhang Dian took the queen's command and hurried to the door, in Cai Qu's opinion, of course, it was also for this matter.

"Even if he and Han Yukun join forces, they can't stop Lu Jifu from returning to the dynasty." Cai Qu's eyes became more and more gloomy, making Cai Wei, who was standing next to him and listening to the training, shudder.

Cai Qu and Zeng Bu both have the same thoughts, the longer Lu Huiqing is outside, the better, and the more Wang Anshi and Han Gang fight, the better. If Han Gang wins, Wang Anshi will step down as usual, and Lu Huiqing will be blocked from Beijing. This is the best result. At that time, Zhang Dian and Han Gang are both in the Privy Council, Wang Anshi and Han Jiang seem to be going to the throne again, and the political hall will have less stones on the top of his head, and less constraints around him, and he Cai Zhizheng will be able to turn over.

"But the queen values Han Gang very much......" Cai Wei reminded in a low voice.

"There is the Son of Heaven." Cai said: "The wisdom of the Son of Heaven is God's gift, even if he can hide it for a while, can he still hide it for a lifetime?" ”

With the anger of being deceived in his heart, can he still calmly support Empress Xiang to take charge of the government? Cai really didn't believe it.

"Who is the new governor of Daizhou? It's all on the cantata. There are also the names of the following counties recommended by Han Yukun that were also reported. The Son of Heaven is very intelligent, how can he be deceived by others? ”

The newly opened territory is equivalent to half of Western Xia, and the prefectures and counties have long been divided. The officials stationed in the local area were also dispatched, and after the alien occupation of this land changed owners, production and life gradually got on the right track.

But Zhao Ji still doesn't know that Lu Dao Xingling has been taken back. He also didn't know that there was another Shenwu army in Hedong. If he is from the folds, he can only know the Tao at most, Daizhou, the military state on the eastern edge of the river, from Zhizhou to the county below, most of them have been replaced.

The crux of the matter is this personnel arrangement.

In ordinary personnel transfers, such as the prefecture and county and most of the road sub-supervision divisions, there is no tampering with the notes presented to Zhao Ji, otherwise the lies will become more and more confusing.

The best lie is to tell the truth, but to add some skill to the rhetoric to lead the way to ambiguity. The difference is nine truths and one falsehood, and the stupidest one is one lie after another. If there are too many falsehoods, the lies will not be fulfilled, and it is easy to contradict oneself and expose oneself before and after.

But even though the queen and the political hall did this, it was probably useless.

Even though the Son of Heaven was bedridden and couldn't speak, he was still smart, and it was impossible for him not to find the problem.

If it's just the name, it doesn't matter. However, if there had been no war, it would have been difficult for a single envoy to be qualified to recommend so many officials, and Daizhou would not have changed so many officials.

Zhao Ji has been an emperor for so many years, of course, he will know how big the problem is, and he can always get the answer.
