"Can the official family hide it?" Zhang Dian changed the subject and asked in a low voice.

"The queen will definitely not show her mouth, the palace is full of smart people, and she will definitely not talk nonsense. Unless the words are wrong for a while, the official can only rely on guesswork. But even if you guess, you will only guess that it is us courtiers who bully the queen and do not know anything about military affairs. After all, they are husband and wife, and they won't misunderstand too much. ”

Sooner or later, the emperor will learn the truth, and no one can be sure what the reaction will be when the time comes, but with the queen in the middle, they don't have to worry too much about it.

"Yukun," Xue Xiang once again brought up the question that the queen had asked before, "How sure are you this time?" ”

"What should be said has just been said in the Chongzheng Palace." Han Gang Zhengrong replied, "Taiyuan City doesn't need to worry...... Unless I lost it before I arrived. In addition, even if the Liao army has already attacked the city of Taiyuan, I am sure that it will be driven back to the north. As for further recovering Daizhou...... It will take some time and effort. ”

Han Gang was fully confident that the Liao army was just lucky to break through Yanmen Pass. And luck can't be had all the time.

I only heard him say: "In fact, there is a good side to the destruction of Yanmen Pass. From Hebei all the way to a two-sided march, the existing strength of the Liao army is not enough, and it is inevitable to focus on one of them, or Hedong, or Hebei. But no matter which way is important, the other is easy to solve. ”

……………………

There was a dead silence in the Funing Palace.

The Son of Heaven Zhao Ji was half lying on the bed and half leaning on the bed, staring at the queen coldly. The chamberlains and palace maids below didn't even dare to breathe.

Han Gang was appointed as the governor of the government, and the governor of Hebei and Hedong was proclaimed.

This is what Empress Xiang just said to Zhao Ji, which also aroused the anger of the Son of Heaven.

With the privy deputy envoy to proclaim the east of the river, this is the result of the agreement between Fang and the important ministers in the palace. Han Gang himself did not shirk this appointment.

However, in order to make Zhao Ji agree to this appointment, Empress Xiang had to use some small means. Xuanfu Hebei and Hedong were only ready to bargain with the emperor. The key is only in the east of the river. It's the same with the governor's affairs, it's enough to take a step back and be a privy deputy envoy.

After all, the situation in Hedong could not be told to the Son of Heaven, and it was entirely the result of the emperor's selfishness. For the sake of her husband's safety, Queen Xiang can only choose to hide it, but she has to endure her husband's misunderstanding and anger.

If it weren't for the fact that Han Gang had to enter the palace every day to ask about his illness, it would be impossible to hide Zhao Ji's departure from Beijing, and Empress Xiang didn't want to tell her husband about this appointment at all. Otherwise, no matter how much he tried to hide it, he might have guessed that the situation in the north had changed.

'What is the military situation in Hebei?' After glaring coldly at the queen for a while, Zhao Ji began to paddle on the sand table. This sudden appointment is too ridiculous, and after calming down, he naturally won't notice that there is a problem, but his mood won't change.

"It's okay, the southbound Beiyu has not yet broken through Dingzhou and Baozhou. The east side is also blocked at the third level. It was the attack of the northern captives that became more and more fierce. I don't know how long it can last. Guo Kui has already sent urgent reports several times. ”

'What about Hedong?' ’

"Wang. Kechen is old and useless, and the reinforcements sent to Hebei were two days late, and now there are soldiers in Shengzhou, and Yanmen Pass is also reporting an emergency, which is not something he can handle. ”

Zhao Ji opened his eyes, fixed his gaze on the queen's face, and looked at it for a long time before he wrote: "Let Zhao Yu go to Hedong." ’

Zhao Yu?

Huanqing Road is slightly envoy Zhao Yu?

The queen's eyebrows were immediately twisted.

Does Zhao Yu have this ability? Now the Liao army has broken the Yanmen Pass! But she couldn't tell the truth.

Perhaps Zhao Yu also has this ability, but his prestige in Hedong is far from enough to calm the hearts of the people, unite the hearts of the army, and even deter the northern captives who have entered the Kou. If Zhao Yu had Han Gang's talent and prestige in Hedong, Empress Xiang would have let him go a long time ago. She was not willing to send Han Gang to Beijing at all! But if there is someone who has the level of Han Gang in terms of ability, prestige and experience, no matter who it is, Empress Xiang will send him to Hedong instead.

The prince will be out of the cabinet to study in two days. On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and it was the day when children threw green onions into the windows of the school to open up their wisdom. If Han Gang goes out at this time, what if the prince teaches Cheng Hao badly? What should I do if I get sick? Although Wang Anshi is a member of Zishantang, it is impossible for this veteran minister to enlighten a six-year-old child and teach him to read and write. Wang Anshi and Cheng Hao are in protecting their young sons, where can they compare to the disciples of the Medicine King? What's more, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and only Han Gang can make her the most trustworthy.

Suppressing his irritable mood, he argued to the queen and said: "The situation in Shaanxi is undecided, and Zhao Yu can't leave it for a while. Lu Huiqing is greedy for merit, and with the steady Zhao Yu by his side, this makes people feel at ease. Although the situation in Hebei is good, Guo Kui is a military minister after all, and it is difficult to move the soldiers and horses sent by Hedong, and Han Gang also needs to suppress the formation. ”

Empress Xiang was worried that Zhao Ji's condition would worsen after hearing the truth, and she couldn't explain the current situation in Hedong to her husband. But if he didn't make it clear, how could Zhao Ji agree to let Han Gang regain the leadership of Hedong Road, and he was also the governor of Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu Envoy!

Back then, in order for Han Jiang to be qualified to proclaim the two roads of Hedong in Shaanxi, he made him the prime minister and a scholar of Zhaowenguan University. Han Gang was pacified by two ways, and the qualifications of the prime minister were all available. So even if you can't be the prime minister now, you still have to give him a governor.

Zhao Ji was reluctant to let Han Gang go. But he heard a little ominous taste in his wife's words, although he couldn't guess that the Yanmen Pass was broken, but the situation in the north should not be so simple, otherwise he would not let Han Gang go.

Lu Huiqing is actually a choice, but he announced that Shaanxi had caused such a big mess, and he would definitely be punished afterwards. But if he is allowed to serve as Xuanfu Hedong again, then he can only be appointed as the prime minister after returning to the division. Leaving this precedent is not good for the future of the country. But appointing Han Gang as Xuanfu is absolutely not good!

Han Gang pacified Hedong. Zhao Ji drew words with his fingers, intending to let Han Gang return to his old position, looked at the queen's face, hesitated and added another stroke, "Appease the ambassador." ’

A 'big' word was added.

In today's bureaucracy, there is no such thing as appeasement of ambassadors. But this is just like when Emperor Zhenzong deliberately added a 'big' word in front of the bachelor of the senior administration hall in order to favor Wang Qinruo, and became a scholar of the senior administration hall, Zhao Ji planned to give the queen a face, anyway, it was just a little better, at least better than the Xuanfu envoy who had to confer the festival and announce the well-spirited, it was a real day patrol.

But the queen didn't agree.

Xuanfu is a temporary send, and the pacification envoy is to serve in Hedong for a long time. Empress Xiang just wants Han Gang to return to the dynasty after saving the Hedong crisis, where might he be promised to replace the king. Location of Kachen. Even if a 'big' word is added, it doesn't make a difference in essence.

All the good generals were transferred away from the border, and a group of waste guards were used to guard the border, and now the Liao people have entered the country, and they are still so suspicious of the virtuous ministers. What's more, what about the prince? Just let Cheng Hao teach? Although a few days ago, Cheng Hao behaved very well when he went to the palace and was very good at teaching, Queen Xiang just had prejudices against him, and she didn't want her son to have this person by her side.

I was patient not to say the grievances in my heart, and persuaded the queen with kind words.

Half an hour later, as soon as she stepped out of the inner hall of the dormitory, the queen's face turned black in a blink of an eye.

After persuading for a long time, Zhao Ji finally gave Han Gang a dispatch of the Hedong ambassador, who could command the soldiers and horses of Hedong, and the pacification envoy also obeyed his orders. Although it is not a propaganda envoy who is the commander of the military and the government and the superintendent of the department, it is not too much, and it is a temporary dispatch.

As for the appointment of the governor, Zhao Ji did not agree, but used the excuse that the post was full, and replaced him with the deputy privy envoy - the political hall was full of three prime ministers and two people participating in politics, and now the position of prime minister is still vacant, and the seat of participating in politics is already full-but it is expected.

Although it can't be said to be satisfactory, it can be regarded as achieving the goal after all, and at the same time, it also concealed the defeat in Hedong and didn't let her husband worry. But after a bargain almost like buying vegetables, the faint suspicion in her husband's heart was obvious to the queen. It's not against Han Gang, but even she, the queen, is suspicious. This made Queen Xiang feel panicked, and she felt even more aggrieved, who did she do so wronged? !

She wasn't the only one who felt this way, everyone in the temple was aware of it.

Song Yongchen cautiously followed behind Queen Xiang, and he didn't dare to breathe. Waiting until Wang Zhongzheng, Lan Yuanzhen, Shi Deyi and several other big mink jue came one after another, serving her to sit down in the inner hall of the Chongzheng Palace. After the queen drank a few sips of hot drinks, her expression softened slightly, Song Yongchen persuaded softly: "The official family will understand the ...... of the sage's painstaking work."

"Understood what!?" Empress Xiang was suddenly annoyed again, and with a snap, she paused the tea cup heavily on the small table, "If you all understand, what if the official family's illness is repeated?!" Song Yongchen, Lan Yuanzhen, Shi Deyi, I am here to explain to you, if the current situation in Hedong reaches the ears of the Son of Heaven, you can die!! ”

Xiang Queen's pretty face was scolded, the tail of her eyes was hanged, and she took the three of them angrily to vent her anger. The three big mink hurriedly knelt down and swore that they would never let the officials hear the slightest rumor.

In fact, the three of them are all top eunuchs in the palace, and they all have military positions, which belong to the jurisdiction of the two governments. In fact, even the queen could not execute them with a single sentence. But if something really happens to one day, their lives will be over. A small life may not be lost, but after being condemned, he will go to the temple for the rest of his life, which is more terrible than death.

"Wang Zhongzheng." Xiang Empress turned to another large mink.

Wang Zhongzheng bowed his head and said: "The minister is here." ”

"You also order the class to be straight, don't spread a word in vain, and those who violate it will be severely punished."

Wang Zhongzheng's status is different from the other three. With his past record, if he is not a eunuch, the Privy Council can enter, and the queen naturally can't shout and kill him, and his tone is much more relaxed.

"Obey the order!" Wang Zhongzheng saluted, "Please also rest assured that the saint." ”

"Don't worry......" looked back in the direction of the Funing Palace, and smiled bitterly at the queen full of sadness, "How can you put your mind at ease?" ”
