Cai did still stay in the palace, and when he was about to release the palace, he was stopped by the envoy sent by the queen, saying that the queen wanted to see him.

Cai was indeed happy, but he didn't expect that Zeng Bu, who served as the governor of the political council, was also retained.

Cai was indeed a little puzzled. If the queen wants to say anything confidential, or ask for advice in private, it is enough to leave one person behind. At the same time, leaving two Zaisuke who are not in harmony, so that Cai really can't figure out what the queen is going to say?

Glancing at Zeng Bu, Cai said in his heart: There are too many people left.

But speaking of which, there are too many people in the two provinces. When Lu Huiqing and Han Gang come back, there will be more people.

The two houses were already full, like a stuffed bookbox, and not even a pen could fit in.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would definitely instigate the imperial history platform to solve his worries and problems, but the current queen does not have this skill.

When the time comes, does the queen have the courage to clean the two mansions and make room for people? It's hard to say.

Zhang Xianming Su Liu Hou hung the curtain, and once ordered the important ministers to submit the names of their sons and nephews in the family, and she will reuse them according to the situation. After the list was sent up one by one, Queen Liu turned her face. As long as it's on the list, don't use it.

It's certainly a good thing that you don't have to have a personal relationship. But how can you play like this? This time, he offended all the ministers of Zaifu miserably.

And this time, how did Sima Guang return to Luoyang in disgrace?

Don't guess a woman's mind.

Cai does have a personal experience, the thoughts of the wives and concubines in the family are unpredictable, how can the queen's thoughts be guessed?

But there was no need for him to guess, the queen opened her mouth to discuss the topic: "The peace agreement has been decided, and even reinforcements from all walks of life have returned to the town." Speaking of which, it is time for Han and Lu to let them come back. ”

Looking at Zeng Bu from the corner of his eye, Cai really understood that he and Zeng Bu were left for the queen. Among Zai Fu, those who insisted on not letting Lu and Han return to Beijing were themselves and Zeng Bu except Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi didn't want his son-in-law to come back to advocate qi and disrupt the political situation; Cai really just wanted to block Lu Huiqing, lest he also be promoted to prime minister; And Zeng Bu is Han Gang and Lu Huiqing want to block it.

Zeng Bu took a step forward: "Your Highness, the ministers are only afraid that there will be more twists and turns on the side of the Liao people." ”

"At the beginning, Wang Shao captured the Tubo people alive, and the official family personally wrote an edict overnight, asking him to return to Beijing. Now the credit of the two privy councillors is much greater than that of Wang Shao, but you say that it will hurt the face of the Liao State and make the peace negotiation twists and turns. ”

Cai Qu lowered his head. has presided over the government for more than half a year, and the originally jerky queen is indeed not easy to fool now.

- just not easy.

Zeng Bu argued: "The commander of the three roads is not there, and the ministers are even more afraid that the Liao State will have different intentions again." ”

"Then let Han Shumi come back first. Lu Shumi went to Hedong to replace him, and Shaanxi was handed over to Guo Kui. ”

This one...... Was the queen a whim, or did she have a plan?

"But this is too harsh on Lu Huiqing, and his ability to restore the spirit is not under Han Gang's retreat." Zeng Bu only paused slightly, and immediately found an excuse again: "Now that the situation is compelled, Lu Huiqing and Han Gang have to stay outside for a while to settle down." The two of them are the ambassadors of propaganda and the other are the envoys of the system, both of which are extraordinary responsibilities and are granted in times of crisis. Now that the peace agreement has been decided, if Lu Huiqing is transferred to Hedong, how can he say that he is in danger? Hedong Xuanfu is not allowed, can it not be allowed to be a little bit of a scripture, isn't this tantamount to derogatory? ! And is it child's play for the court to employ people, how will the world look at it every few days? ”

The voice behind the screen was broken, and it seemed to be speechless to the queen.

Cai Qu sighed softly, it was just not easy.

Now his attitude towards Lu and Han is only delayed, and after a delay for half a year, the people's hearts are settled, and it is easy to get rid of them when they come back. What's more, the two of them are in Shaanxi and Hedong, and it's easy to find mistakes.

The bread was so big, and there were two more mouths, and each person got less.

Moreover, it is recognized both inside and outside the government and the opposition that Lu and Han are the few capable officials since the founding of the country. Once they enter the center and participate in the government affairs, except for Wang Anshi, Zhang Dan, and Xue Xiang, must they all be squeezed aside to stand aside?

Wang Anshi used the first staff to be the governor of political affairs, let the two ministers and the two staff stand aside, and make a joke about life, old age, sickness and death, Han Gang and Lu Huiqing may be able to do it.

It's just that the queen's desire to transfer back to Han Gang is becoming more and more urgent, and if she is blocked like Zeng Bu, how long can she be stopped?

Cai Qu looked at Zeng Bu and shook his head. Zeng Bu was in the political hall, but his father was not close to his mother and did not love him, and he was pressed by Wang Anshisheng, but he became a stubborn donkey's temper.

He got up and saluted behind the screen: "Your Highness." The minister has a word. ”

"Minister, please."

"Lu Huiqing's merits are high, and he should be awarded a festival to open the house. And Guo Kui is in Hebei, leading the army for a long time, and it is not appropriate to stay in the daimyo anymore and move. ”

Give Lu Huiqing the name of Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, and let him stay in Beijing. Guo Kui added a festival to make it good to go to Hedong. As for Han Gang, of course he can come back.

"Let's talk about this again!" The voice behind the screen was full of anger.

Cai was stunned, could it be that what he said was still too vague? Just as he was about to continue to explain, Zeng Bu was a step faster.

"Your Highness. Cai Xianggong's words are in line with the minister's intentions. Guo Kui has been in Hebei for a long time, the military heart is attached, and he is not good at political affairs, so he should be transferred back first, awarded the position of moderation, and choose another merit to guard the name. As for Lu Huiqing and Han Gang, they should also be generously given gifts to reassure their hearts. ”

The voice behind the screen became even colder, "It's not early, I'm tired." Xianggong, participate in politics, you should step back first! ”

There was a ringing sound, and the queen actually left first.

Cai Qu turned around slowly, staring at Zeng Bu with an indifferent expression, his eyes seemed to pierce him through, and after a long time, he turned into a smile:

"This time, it's a lot of work."

……………………

After many days, Zhe Keda returned to Daizhou City.

The last time he returned to Daizhou and failed to see Han Gang, Zhe Ke Dazheng hesitated whether to rush to the bottle-shaped village, or wait for Han Gang to come back from the bottle-shaped village-it was not an urgent matter for him to face Han Gang, his father had already written an official document and sent it to the Yamen of the Ministry of Preparation and Deployment by horse--but within two days, he was invited by Tian Yu to Xinzhou City to receive a group of displaced people who returned to Daizhou.

"There is a shortage of people everywhere in the sixth Cao and eighth classes of Yanmen County Yazhong, and there is really no manpower. And what's more...... The treacherous and slippery officials who had to put oil out of the stones were also unreliable. If something happens, it will kill their heads, and the privy will not look good on their faces. ”

Tian Yu sighed in front of Zhe Keda that day. I couldn't wipe my face, and nodded and agreed to help with this.

More than 2,000 people, a total of more than 800 households, were successively arranged to sit in the railroad carriage and sent all the way to Daizhou City.

"Brother Xiaoyi."

I don't know who is shouting in the street.

Zhe Ke looked ahead, went forward along the West Street, and walked a hundred steps north to the Qiaolou, which is the location of the state government. The day before yesterday, I heard in Xinkou Village that Han Gang had returned to Daizhou City, and he could go directly to the state office.

"Brother Xiaoyi!"

There are a lot of people at the gate of the city, although it has only been a few days, but seeing that the vitality of Daizhou City seems to have recovered a little. There are also several shops on both sides of the street that have opened, just a small façade of some tea shops and restaurants, and I don't know if it is the original shop - it is estimated that it is definitely not the original owner, and in such a prosperous area of Daizhou Ximen Street, if you don't open some high-income stores, you can't make back the rent at all, and the plaques on the heads of several stores don't match - but it seems that it has some popularity, and it is no longer the previous Xiao Se Lingding.

"Brother Xiaoyi!"

Zhe Keda continued to walk forward with the flow of people, wanting to rush to the state government office earlier, and then go back to sleep well. Suddenly, his sleeve was pulled up, and there was another shout in his ear.

That's the person he knows, Qin Ji, the younger brother of Qin Wan who is reused by Han Gang, who is common on weekdays, but he is not called the right person when he greets him.

"Brother Xiaoyi?" Folding can be confusing.

Although some people called themselves that when they were in Fuzhou, that was also a memory of their youth. Zhe Ke Dake never thought that Qin Ji would use such an intimate title.

It's just that when he looked around blankly, Qin Ji was not greeting another person, but found that the person he wanted to visit was sitting in a roadside shop in a Confucian shirt.

A cloth banner poked out of the shop, and the signboard was a small shop selling cold tao. However, looking at the three words of Shanqingtang on the door, as well as the furnishings in the shop, it is not difficult to see that it is another roadside stall with a dove occupying the magpie's nest.

Three square tables and twelve small stools are placed near the door of the store. The noodle stall is a little inside and outside. An old man in his fifties was busy in the stall, and there was a little girl of eight or nine years old next to him to help him. And Han Gang sat flat, waiting for the food to be served.

"Pivot..."

At first glance, when he saw Han Gang sitting on the roadside stall, he was shocked and sweated, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a cough behind him. Zhe Keda is worthy of being the heir of the head of the Zhe family, and his reaction was very fast, a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to say hello:

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but are you okay?"

He didn't know what to call Han Gang now, so he could only vaguely go over.

"Xiao Yi, come and sit."

Han Gang generously pointed to the stool on the side of the table and motioned for him to sit down.

Zhe Keda sat down leaning down, only half of the stool on the side. Leaning closer, he whispered, "Why did the privy come out like this?" ”

"Chen Lengtao at the west gate of Daizhou is famous. The noodles are good, and the sauce is good. Han Gang pointed to Qin Ji who sat down with him again, "Qin Er ate it yesterday, and came back to say okay." If you have nothing to do today, you will come out and try it. ”

'Idle? ’

Zhe Ke opened his mouth wide, wanting to pull the dusty placket and say that he was too busy to touch the ground, but after thinking about it again, he obediently broke off this idea.

Han Gang is a civil envoy, recommending talents, and stabilizing the county, which is the power of the people in his two governments. However, the personnel of the prefecture and county have already been decided, and it is impossible to say that they want to meddle in local affairs again. So he's really idle now. As for himself, like a small shrimp, he doesn't have to worry about finding fault with others.
