Coughing lightly, he changed the subject: "The war has only been over for a few days, and there must be people on the Liao thief's side who will not die, in case an assassin is sent over, ......"

Han Gang smiled: "I've come all the way and sat here for a while, but no one recognizes me." ”

Very few soldiers in Daizhou City have seen Han Gang up close, Han Gang changed his clothes and sat in the shop at the gate of the city, people came and went, but no one recognized the dignified privy deputy envoy.

"I can't recognize my own family, and I still expect outsiders to recognize me?!"

Han Gang shook his head, people want to be well-dressed, this is not bad at all. is not wearing an official robe, and he is just an ordinary person walking on the road, who would look at the person eating cold noodles at the stall?

"What if......"

"Xiao Yi, look around." Han Gang patted Ke Da on the shoulder and asked him to look back.

Zhe Keda swept around according to his words, and suddenly he was speechless.

In this small shop, only three pro-soldiers occupy two tables. But in the few shops across the street, there were Han Gang's personal soldiers sitting. In a group of two or three people, each ordered a table of dishes, the chopsticks moved slowly, but their eyes were aimed at this side. Look at the appearance, as soon as there is a stir, it will be snatched out.

Han Gang has always sought stability with his soldiers, and this time the micro-service patrol is also heavily prepared. Zhe Keda originally just wanted to express his intentions, but seeing the formation around Han Gang, he didn't know what to say.

……………………

"Mian Zhong, do you know where the privy has gone?"

Han Gang has no plans to go on patrol today, and Zhang Qi has not heard of any emergencies. However, he was in the yazhong, but he couldn't find anyone left and right, and only heard the report from the people below, saying that the privy secretary had changed his body and went out to go shopping.

In fact, Zhang Ji, who has already taken on the responsibility of knowing the state, is now so busy that he can't wait to be used for two days a day. Hearing that Han Gang went shopping leisurely, he was so angry that he smoked. But there was nothing to do, the matter in his hand was indispensable for Han Gang to deal with, and he could only find Huang Shang in the end.

Huang Shang was preparing his homework, and had not participated in the affairs of the Yazhong for several days after the peace agreement was signed. He worked as a staff member by Han Gang's side, and he had already accumulated merit and was promoted to the rank of Weiwei Sicheng from the eighth rank and entered the ranks of Beijing officials. Even if you don't make meritorious contributions in the future, you can still be promoted to the ranks of court officials. But he still wants to take the entrance exam, and those with and without background are completely different treatment in the officialdom.

When a few strange colleagues sit together, the first thing they will do is to preface the first year. You are a 21-year-old who is 19 in the second class, and I am a 30-year-old who is in the first class, and one by one colleagues with backgrounds reported the time and name of their junior soldiers, but they are not born in the last of their own families. In that case, I feel chills in my heart when I think about it.

Even if he is as famous as Han Gang, he still has to go to the Jinshi examination from the Seventh Rank of Guozijian Doctor, and even would rather give up the opportunity to face the saint, but also stay in Shaanxi to take the qualification for a tribute. Huang Shang is not confused, if he wants to go further and more stable, he must have a Jinshi background.

The first and second class are not counted on, and the third class is also the same jinshi. Just open the way to progress. With such thoughts, he has been studying hard day and night since the peace discussion, and Han Gang and the others did not disturb him and let him prepare for the exam quietly. I didn't want Zhang Kai to come over.

"Privy? I don't know what to do. Huang Sheng shook his head, "Is it out of the blue?" ”

"Mian Zhong, you don't know what to do. I said I went shopping. Zhang Qi gritted his teeth when he spoke, hating in his heart, but then sighed again, "The hearts of the people in the city have not yet settled, and there are many homeless people who come and go. ”

Huang Shang's expression turned grim when he heard this: "...... Who is the privy with you? ”

"The guards around the privy have all gone with him."

Huang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Then don't worry." The privy guards were safer than we were in the yamen. Why is "he" in a hurry to find the privy councillor? ”

"There's an echo over there in Kaifeng."

"It's to summon the privy councillor back to Beijing......" Huang Sheng shook his head as he said, to summon Han Gang back to Beijing, it must be the envoy who came with the holy oracle on his back, and wanted to set up an incense case to receive the decree, where could it be so silent, "Is it the reply of the privy councilor?" ”

"Hmm."

"What did the court say?"

"The court doesn't seem to want the privy councillor to go back!"

Huang Shang's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "It's all accurate?!" ”

"yes." Zhang Qi sighed, "I didn't expect it to be accurate." ”

Before, these staff had speculated about the possible reaction of the imperial court. With Han Gang's merits and prestige, if the imperial court really didn't want Han Gang to return to Beijing, he would only use Huairou's means, lest he be angry and directly tear his face to sue the emperor.

Now that every recommendation from Han Gang has been approved, then the intention of the imperial court is obvious, and it does not want to give Han Gang an excuse to return to Beijing. I hope that Han Gang can stay in Hedong and guard it for a while.

"And it didn't summon me and Chengbo to Beijing to see His Majesty."

Zhang Qi and Tian Yu served as officials on behalf of the state, and it was common practice to let them go back to the capital first. Especially Zhang Qi, the courtiers knew that the border areas were important to the county, and they should first go through the link of seeing and asking the right questions, so that the Son of Heaven could confirm whether his ability was suitable. And Tian Zhen is the magistrate of the county, and he is directly transferred from the selection of people to the Beijing official, and his majesty should also see it. Han Gang was in Hehuang that year, and he was promoted to the seventh rank of Dr. Guozijian and did not enter Beijing, which was a special example of special circumstances. And now Hedong is not a time when the soldiers are in danger and they are inseparable, Zhang Ji and Tian Yu can leave completely.

"Wang Pingzhang is afraid that after you and Chengbo return to Beijing to see Your Majesty, you will lead the queen to transfer back to the privy council...... Leave no chance at all. ”

"What will the Privy Council do?" Zhang Kai wanted to find Han Gang, just to ask Han Gang's plans. Otherwise, if this matter is hung in my heart, I will not be able to do things with peace of mind.

Huang Sheng shook his head and spread out his hands, and Han Gang didn't tell him about countermeasures. His benefactor seldom hides anything, but he always likes to hide the means he has to use in everyday conversations, and if he doesn't pay attention, he ignores the past. In this regard, Huang Shang couldn't help it: "I don't know what to do, but since the privy councillor can go shopping with peace of mind today, there must be a way." ”

When it came to Han Gang shopping, Zhang Qi's heart was blocked: "When will it be?" ”

"At least wait until the privy councillor finishes the layout."

"Privy Chess ......"

Zhang Qi and Huang Sheng glanced at each other and laughed again.

……………………

"Don't look at it, now that you're seated, it's time to order." Han Gang knocked on the table and reminded him that the fold is big, "Second Brother Qin said that the taste of this shop is not comparable to the Zhiwei Building in Taiyuan, and Daizhou has not been here for a long time, wouldn't it be a pity not to taste it." ”

"Xiucaigong, the best thing I have here is not noodles and sauce. It's vinegar, it's good vinegar. The old man came over at some point, boasted proudly, put down a small porcelain bowl, and as soon as the lid was opened, the sour taste came out, "It's the real old vinegar." ”

"Oh? Then you have to try it even more. Han Gang was full of anticipation.

The best vinegar in the world is the state - the state is Taiyuan - the vinegar of the state is also famous in the capital, and the people of Hedong are even more famous for their jealousy. Han Gang didn't eat less when he was in Hedong back then, and he was a little nostalgic.

No more than a thousand years later, there is always a way to buy local specialties if you want to buy them. But in this era, due to storage and transportation of local specialties, even if he is already one of the few high-ranking officials and eunuchs in the world, he can't eat them. Or you can't taste the authentic original. During his time in Tokyo, he had not been able to take the old vinegar of the state for a long time.

In the Hedong Army, vinegar and sauce are essential products, more important than wine.

In the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", it is also recorded how to carry condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar with you. Soak the clean burlap in vinegar, then take it out to dry, soak it again, and dry it again until the burlap has absorbed enough vinegar and can be carried with you after drying. When eating, as long as you cut off a slice and throw it into the soup, it is equivalent to adding a large spoonful of aged vinegar.

"This ...... My dear. The old man turned back again, he didn't wear an official robe, but no one would mistake the military robe on his body, and it was not a soldier's wear, so it would not be wrong to call an official, "I have two kinds of acacia leaves and chamomile in this small stall, I don't know what the official wants?" ”

Zhe Ke looked at Han Gang, and Han Gang said: "I am Huaiye Lengtao." Second Brother Qin is chamomile, he ate locust leaves yesterday and wants to taste a new taste today. ”

"Then I'll have a chamomile too."

Locust leaf cold tao is made of locust tree buds juice and flour to make noodles, and then mixed with seasoning. Chamomile is made in a similar way, except that it is replaced with chamomile. This is a dish for palace banquets, and it is also common among the people.

The old man does seem to live up to his name, his hands and feet are extremely nimble, and he is a veteran of many years.

In the sound of a quick knife cutting through the chopping board, Han Gang turned his head sideways and said, "I heard Chengbo talk about the return of the homeless people to their hometowns today. You did a good job in this matter, Xiaoyi. ”

Zhe Ke opened his mouth widely, and asked Han Gang to call him smooth, it shouldn't be Xiao Yi in the future.

It's just that he didn't dare to say it, and followed Han Gang's tone: "It's just running errands, it doesn't take much effort." After a pause, "The track is so convenient." Four hundred households arrived in the state city from Xinkou in one day. Changing to walking, young and old, I don't know how many days I have to walk. ”

Zhe Ke speaks in a low voice, looking a little sneaky.

"How much money did you spend on this track? How much labor was used? It's not a waste to be able to put it to good use on weekdays. ”

Thank you to the two governments and the three divisions, especially Lu Jiawen from the third division, and he helped him to return to Beijing and said a few words. It's just that he has only been transferred from Kaifeng Mansion to the post of the third envoy in less than two months, and he really helped a lot when he supported Hedong.

Looking back now, Lu Jiawen is indeed more suitable to be the third envoy. He used to be in charge of Kaifeng City, which offended many Gyeonggi nobles, and he also had a hand in financial management, which was more suitable for planning than the right to know Kaifeng Mansion. And when there was a dispute in the Chongzheng Palace, Han Gang still remembered it very clearly. I'm afraid that the queen's prejudice still exists, and she doesn't want Kaifeng Mansion to be governed by Lu Jiawen.
