【2nd Update】

Since the old ministers of Xijing have been on the book one after another, after a few days have passed, there are more and more courtiers who have written to the Son of Heaven and asked to excavate the Yin Ruins, and several old ministers who live in Nanjing have earnestly asked the Son of Heaven. But the Son of Heaven never responded, and kept a playful silence, which made the atmosphere in the court a little weird.

No one knew if the Heavenly Son of Lu Dao was going to forcibly suppress this matter again, and many people were waiting to see what other tricks Han Gang could have to deal with it.

However, Han Gang, who was in the whirlpool, was quietly presiding over the editing of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Editing Bureau, and by the way, the sorting and rubbing of the oracle bone inscription made the interested Huang Sheng in charge - anyway, this matter can be done slowly, and it will not delay his review for the exam - on the other hand, he continued to rectify the work of the Department of Health and Welfare and the Taiyi Bureau, but the resentment in his heart became more and more intense.

Han Gang respects Wang Anshi, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, and many Confucian people's conduct and behavior, but it is difficult to give more recognition to the behavior of Confucian scholars. But in this era, I have to put on a layer of sheepskin, and I have to carefully release the knowledge that is beneficial to the world little by little.

Although this is also to try not to waste the benefits that this knowledge can bring to himself, but such a cautious style is like being a thief, coupled with always being vigilant against being exposed, he has to study Confucian classics and scriptures for ten years, to say that Han Gang does not feel aggrieved, it is definitely a lie. At present, the emperor has been making stumbling blocks, and Han Gang is more and more unpleasant to the Son of Heaven, but these thoughts can only be hidden in the bottom of his heart.

Every day, he dealt with the official affairs of the three yamen in the Taichang Temple as usual, and after the yamen was released at dusk, he went home as usual, and did not go to the restaurant to recruit prostitutes and feasts, and rarely accepted the invitation of others.

But in the afternoon of this day, an invitation signed by Han Zhen was sent to Han Gang's desk, and after thinking about it for a while, Han Gang gave an affirmative reply to the invitation.

Governor Han Jin's invitation, because he had worked together in the Pastoral Division in the past, and Han Gang had helped a lot in the Shengzhou demarcation negotiations, Han Gang and Han Jin had a bit of friendship, and he set up a banquet to entertain guests, and Han Gang was indeed inconvenient to refuse.

Su Song watched from the side as Han Gang sent Han Jin's family out, and asked casually, "Han Yuru has a treat for no reason, what is the idea of getting to the bottom?" ”

Han Gang shook his head: "I can't tell, it won't be eating and drinking anyway." Whether Han Jin's banquet was to inquire about the news or to pass the word on behalf of someone, Han Gang couldn't guess for a while, but to say that the invitation was just for dinner and chatting, the friendship between Han Gang and Han Jin was not yet this step.

"Maybe you are invited to Yukun to enjoy the flowers, but if you don't appreciate Qiu Ju, you can only wait to enjoy the plum blossoms."

"Then Han Gang must be able to make poetry...... But one thing is certain. ”

"What?" Su Song asked.

"It will definitely not be to invite Han Gang to join the genealogy." Han Gang said with a smile.

When Su Song heard this, he immediately laughed, and then said after laughing: "That's not accurate, there is Yukun here, not to mention Lingshou Han, even Anyang Han, and I am still willing to give you this kiss." ”

The corners of Han Gang's mouth tugged at the bottom of his mouth, "Humble Suhu, but don't dare to climb high." ”

Not to mention the Han Qi family who was born in Anyang, Xiangzhou, the three emperors set up two masters, and the Son of Heaven had to accept his affection, which was the most noble among the foreign ministers. Lingshou Han family, Han Yi is the governor, Han Jiang is the prime minister, Han Jin is now also the governor, and further back, it is also a family of eunuchs and standard hairpins. Although it is not as good as the Shandong scholars who lasted for hundreds of years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is also one of the most wealthy families in the world.

And everyone in Hangang regards him as the preparation of the prime minister, and if nothing else, he will definitely be able to live in Dongfu in the future. In this way, the surname Han is a few prominent in this Tianshui day. It's just that Sanhan is not a family, and a family was reluctant to say 800 years ago.

However, there are many people with the same surname in this world, especially the poor scholars who are not obvious, and they are willing to climb a noble family with the same surname, and no one cares if they are of the same clan. is Zhang Xianming, the Empress Dowager Liu E, who once listened to the government, also because of her humble background, wanted to join forces with a heavy minister surnamed Liu and recognize a family, but she refused without hesitation.

Han Gang is also not interested in casually kissing people, in his early years, when he was a humble minister, he didn't even enter the door of the two dignitaries surnamed Han once, and now he doesn't need it anymore. Moreover, in the Qing discussion, such a thing will still cause criticism after all, and in the case of the Son of Heaven, it will hinder the future.

Han Gang and Su Song laughed a few words, and the matter was put aside. After the release of the government, the family sent by Han Zhen was already waiting for Han Gang in front of Taichang Temple, leading the way in front, and leading Han Gang all the way to the mansion of the governor.

In the governor's house, there are hundreds of officials who ask to see them, just like when Wang Anshi served in the East Mansion and Wang Shao served as the deputy privy envoy. But Han Jin's son greeted Han Gang's arrival at the entrance of the alley, so that all the people and horses blocking the alley avoided and went straight to Han Jin's mansion.

Han Zhen set up a private banquet, and only Han Gang was invited, and he also knew that Han Gang had a quiet temperament, and he did not bring out the tricks raised at home to perform, but after many generations, the background of the family is far from being comparable to the poor, and the utensils and ingredients are first-class.

Sitting in the small pavilion by the pool, dying by the railing, under the moonlight, the scenery of the rockery and pond in the courtyard is in full view, but because of the extremely prosperous fire, I can't feel the chill of the late autumn night at all.

After drinking a cup of scalded burnt knife with Han Gang, Han Zhen sighed with a mouthful of wine; "Seeing that it is about to enter winter, this year is the year of the southern suburbs, and the top and bottom are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, if it weren't for the Kaifeng Mansion to finally repair the mound and Qingcheng Palace today, there would be no leisure."

"Fortunately, the temple is quiet."

Seeing that Han Jin was not busy getting to the point, Han Gang was not in a hurry, he was smiling and drinking and eating, the taste of Han Jin's dishes was really good. Although Yan Suxin and the chefs at home are not bad, they are still not as good as the famous chefs in the mansions of wealthy families.

"Taichang Temple is not involved in the ritual system, and this is the case. The county order is not in the county, the history of the assassin is not in the state, and there is no real post in the six departments and nine temples. This bureaucracy is as chaotic as a mess. ”

"Isn't there a rumor that the imperial court is going to be restructured?" Han Gang said, "If you can really clean up the source, it will be good." ”

"In that case, Yukun, you, Taichang Temple, will be busy."

"It's better not to change that." Han Gang said with a smile, "Qinggui's errand is very difficult to find. ”

Han Zhen also laughed, poured a full glass of wine and drank with Han Gang.

Han Gang put down his wine glass: "By the way, I heard that this time in the southern suburbs, Jiayue is going to change the country and change the seal?" ”

The major affairs of the country are in Rong. Bestowing gifts to the vassals, rewarding the armies, and giving amnesty to the world are all things that should be done. Participating in the highest festival in the country is also a credit. If it is at the end of the year, Han Gang can still be rewarded in the capital.

As early as half a year ago, Han Gang heard that the imperial court was preparing to give several important ministers the title of Jin Jue during the suburban ceremony of this year's winter solstice, and those who had already been crowned princes would change their country to their titles, including Wang Anshi.

"Of course." Han Jin happily replied: "Jiefu's Shu Guogong has been doing it for many years, and it's time to change the seal. ”

"Is it the Duke of Jing Guo?"

"Yukun also heard about it?" Han Jin smiled with a drunken smile, "This palace is really like a fishing net, full of holes, and you can't keep any kind of news." ”

Han Gang didn't laugh and described coldly: "Is this the meaning of Taichang Rite Academy, or the meaning of the Political Affairs Hall?" ”

Han Jin was stunned, "What does Yukun mean by this?" ”

Wang Anshi's Shu Guogong has been doing it for a long time, and it is a good thing to be promoted to the first level, but it is not a good word to change from Shu Guogong to Jing Guogong.

"Shiyun: 'Stupid and barbaric, the big state is the enemy'. However, Jing Guogong is not a bad name, but it is different from Shu Guogong to Jing Guogong. ”

Han Zhen understood what Han Gang wanted to say, and frowned slightly: "What Yukun wants to say is 'Rong Di is Ying, Jing Shu is punishment'?" ”

Han Gang nodded, this sentence in the "Book of Songs", there is no need to explain, just look at the words to know that the Tao is not a good word. The simple Shu Guogong or Jing Guogong has nothing to do with it, but together, it will inevitably make people think.

Han Zhen pondered for a moment, "...... Yukun, do you think Ling Yue is someone who cares about such things? ”

"So as a junior, you can't sit idly by." Han Gang sat up straight, and said to Han Jin: "I want to come to the Son of Heaven to change the country for my family, which is a compliment. And replacing Shu Guogong with Jing Guogong wouldn't it ruin the Son of Heaven's heart. ”

Wang Anshi was transferred to the Duke of Jing Guo, Han Gang didn't know that this news reached Wang Anshi, what was his mood? Maybe it's really like Han Zhen said, he doesn't care at all.

It's just that Han Gang has a respect for Wang Anshi, and if he can persevere to the end in changing the law, the credit for the country's prosperity lies in Wang Anshi, so he can't watch him be humiliated after working hard for the country and the people.

Even if there is no such article, even for the sake of his wife, Han Gang can't tolerate someone in the court to ridicule the knighthood, and the school of struggle is a strife, but he doesn't want this battle to extend to the relationship between relatives. And Han Gang is in need of an opportunity to show this attitude to the outside world.

Han Zhen was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will discuss this matter with Wang Yuyu and Cai Zhizheng, and I will give you an explanation to Yukun." ”

Han Gang raised his glass to thank him, and Han Zhen immediately returned the salute, and after a few back and forth, the atmosphere became a little warmer. It's just that at the banquet tonight, Han Jin didn't mention a word about his original intention of feasting Han Gang.

But in the matter of not speaking, it can also make Han Gang understand what is going on with Han Jin's treat, and whether someone is behind it. Han Gang had no intention of superficializing the contradictions, and even had the intention of mending the rift, but he needed Qi Xue to continue to flourish, which was a necessary prerequisite, and if he couldn't meet it, he didn't mind fighting Xinxue to the end.
