Chapter 40: The New Era (2)

[I chased after him very fiercely and continued to ask for a monthly pass. ] 】

Han Jinqing is famous in the court in terms of criminal name, even to the point of indispensable, but Han Gang has never dealt with him. The children of his family have not yet reached the age of causing trouble and falling into the hands of Dali Temple.

"What's wrong with Han Boxiu?" Han Gang asked Zhang Dian.

From Dali to Dali Temple, but there are so many officials in Dali Temple, as for only one Han Jinqing? Cui Taifu, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, is still in office.

Although Cui Taifu is not as long as Han Jinqing in Dali Temple and the Trial and Criminal Court, he is from the Ming Law Department, and since the third year of Xining, he has also served as an official in the two yamen of the Law Division, and he can also be said to be an expert in law, but according to rumors, he is slightly inferior in ability.

But that Han Shaoqing has always been unable to get along with Wang Anshi, the Fighting Quail case opposes Wang Anshi's views, the Ayun case is on Sima Guang's side, and Dali Siqing Cui Taifu has always been a supporter of the New Party, in the early years of Xining, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang fought for the Ayun case, and Cui Taifu supported Wang Anshi. This is the reason why Cui Taifu can directly enter Beijing to know the affairs of Dali Temple from the position of Hebei Supervisor and Pastoral Envoy, and always press Han Jinqing in Dali Temple and the Criminal Court.

"Recently, Dali Temple has been empty, and Cui Pingfu's above table knows the truth, right?" Zhang Dian was full of sarcasm.

Why did Zhang Gang have such a tone, Han Gang understood.

"I've heard a little." He nodded, and said, "But it's just luck, just like the clear water of the Yellow River, the occasional natural change has nothing to do with personnel." ”

When the weather is hot, the number of prisoners in Dali Temple will be much less. It is not the Yushitai Prison, the favor of the officials and the prison, with the sanitary conditions of the Dali Temple Prison, it is normal for half of the prisoners to die in the summer. In order to prevent a large number of prisoners from dying in prison, so that they are targeted by the imperial history, before the summer, Dali Temple will try its best to deal with the backlog of cases and send the criminals out. And this time Dali's prison is empty, but it is just a coincidence after the convention. Although Cui Taifu, Han Boxiu and other Dali temple officials have meritorious, they can't afford to be solemn.

"Can the water of the Yellow River be clear?!" Zhang Dian asked.

"Didn't you have a report a few years ago?"

"I've heard it many times, but I've never seen it."

"The Yellow River goes upstream, and when it does not enter Longyou, the water is clear. The sediment of the Yellow River is washed down from the loess plateau in Shaanxi, and when Shaanxi is dry for a year and a half, the water of the Yellow River will be much cleaner. ”

Zhang Dian shook his head, "Who cares whether the Yellow River is clear or turbid when there is a famine." ”

"So what's the use of saying that these prophecies, auspicious and the like should be thrown aside and deceive themselves?" Han Gang complained a few words, and found that the topic was off, and said: "The prison is empty, and it seems that it is a matter of reducing the grind and survey, how is the Zhongshu Gate determined?" ”

"The government hall is set to reduce the Zhengqing by two years, and the Shaoqing by one year. However, Empress Taishang said that the official family has newly ascended the throne, and the Dali Prison will be rewarded with a first-class reward, Cui Pingfu will be promoted to the first rank, and Han Boxiu has been reduced by two years. ”

Han Gang took the wine glass, turned it around twice in his hand, raised his eyes and asked, "...... Two years? ”

Seeing that Han Gang reacted immediately, Zhang Dian nodded with a sneer, "It's a lot to subtract two years of grinding, but it's far from the level of a follow-up officer." Don't suffer from few, but suffer from inequality. He and Cui Pingfu have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years, and now they are almost there, they are already far behind, and suddenly they are so bad, how can they be willing? ”

At the level of Han Gang and Zhang Dan, there is no need to care about whether to grind or not. After entering the two mansions, he can be directly promoted to the fourth grade of the counselor, and he will not have too much money to boil up, and he will just be called a good name. And the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, that is, Cui Taifu, is also the right counselor, but he has not entered the two mansions, and he can't be promoted again if he is not a special purpose, and this time it happens to be a special purpose. But Shaoqing Han Jinqing, whose qualifications and abilities are not inferior to Cui Taifu, is still a member of the seventh grade.

"What's wrong with him?" Han Gang asked.

"It's nothing," said Zhangdun very flatly, "it's just that someone saw his subordinates communicating to the Imperial Observatory." ”

“…… Cui Pingfu said?! Han Gang was stunned for a moment before he asked in a little surprise.

If it is really Cui Taifu who reported the news, it can be seen that the relationship between Cui and Han is sinister, and they have to send people to watch each other's every move. But if it was really Cui Taifu who did it, he was out-and-out confused and trapped himself. Whoever is willing to use an official who dares to send someone to follow the ministers of the imperial court, the Imperial City Division is already very disgusting to the courtiers, and if any courtier dares to make a mistake on this matter of principle, he will never end well.

"No, it's Jian Bang Weng who said it to Cai Zhizheng. It was a descendant of his family who met an acquaintance, that is, the family member of Han Jinqing's family, and found out what Han Jinqing was doing. ”

"It's a mess." Han Gang laughed twice.

Jian Qian Weng is Jian Zhoufu, who is now the deputy envoy of the degree branch in the third division, and is one of Lu Jiawen's three deputies. is obviously a person from the Yamen of the Three Divisions, but he intervened in the Dali Temple, especially when Lu Jiawen suffered a big loss and his reputation in the Three Divisions plummeted, he showed his kindness to Cai Quan, and it was impossible that he had no other intentions.

However, Jian Zhoufu once served as a Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and also served as an official in the Yushitai - not a jinshi, he can't enter the Yushitai, this is where Cui Taifu and Han Jinqing are not as good as him - the people of his family know the subordinates of Han Jinqing's family and the people of Yushi Taizhong, and they can be said to be more or less reasonable. And he has no interests with either side of Dali Temple, and there is no need to worry that no one will wonder if he sent someone to spy on Han Jinqing or even Cui Taifu.

"It's a mess indeed."

"This is a knife delivered to the door." Han Gang smiled, "No wonder the Cai Xiang Guild is so determined, it turns out that there is this matter in his hands." ”

In the court, whenever there is a big case involving many people, it basically starts with inconspicuous trivial things, and then tears the lid from the gap little by little, and finally catches it in a net.

Not to mention the collusion between Yushitai and Dali Temple, that is. The worst result was that Cui Taifu was also pulled down, and he died with Han Jinqing.

After drinking a cup with Zhang Dan, Han Gang asked casually, "Do you plan to protect Cui Taifu?" ”

Zhang Dian slurred his lips and sighed, "...... It really depends. ”

In Dali Temple, Cui Taifu, the secretary of Dali Temple, Cai Qu and Zhang Dian definitely want to protect it. There is no New Party supporter in the criminal name system who is comparable to his qualifications and status. And if you want to transfer people in, those who want to go are not qualified, and those who are qualified will not be willing to accept it.

Wenchen, who was born in Jinshi, is most afraid of having many cases and not being idle. My favorite is the important job. Out of Dianzhou County, in a place where there are many lawsuits, it won't take long to be active and transferred. And the Dali Temple and the Trial and Criminal Court, where criminal cases are gathered all over the world, will not be willing to serve for a long time, and just want to use it as a springboard on the official road.

But Han Jinqing secretly contacted Yushitai, and there must be a handle of Cui Taifu in his hand, if it is really investigated, Cui Taifu will also be involved, and both sides will be finished at that time. It's just a matter of the severity of the crime.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Dian took the silver pot to pour wine for himself and Han Gang, and glanced at Han Gang's face twice, "Yukun doesn't seem to be interested in this matter?" ”

"How so?" Han Gang asked.

"If you can ask that, you will know the truth." Zhang Dian shook his head and said: "If you are really interested, I will at least ask who is in Wutaizhong who has private traffic with Han Jinqing." ”

"Who?" Han Gang drank half a glass of wine and asked.

Cai Xianggong didn't elaborate, so he didn't ask. Just look at it. ”

Chong Zhangdun's tone, he knew that he was also not interested in mixing. No matter what means Cai does use to clean the top and bottom of the Yushi Terrace, the vacated space is indispensable for a cake with his thick chapter.

Han Gang is even more irrelevant, anyway, don't recommend Zhang Shangying and other stunned youths to come up.

……………………

Han Gang drank at Zhangdun's house until the first watch, and then he said goodbye.

He's not Jaesuke now, so he doesn't have too many scruples. Visiting the people in the two houses can be more open-minded.

Although it is said that the beginning of autumn has passed, it is still the feeling of summer.

The night breeze was still hot, a little cooler a few days ago, but it was hot again in the past two days.

I drank two more glasses of water and wine at Zhang's house, although the degree was not high, but as soon as the hot wind blew, I felt a little drunk.

There were signs in front of them, and pedestrians, cars, and horses on the street avoided the roadside. The street, which was originally quite lively, was first a burst of chickens and dogs, and then it was quiet.

Han Gang felt a little uncomfortable, looked back and saw that the cool umbrella was still open behind his back, and said unhappily: "It's too much of an eyesore, and it's not raining, what kind of umbrella to use, put it away." ”

The relatives didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly put away the cool umbrella, and the flag officer who shouted in front of him was not so public.

Without the noisy shouting in front, Han Gang felt much better.

It's still hot, looking up at the sky, the stars are thick, and tomorrow doesn't look cloudy, let alone raining.

Fortunately, there are many wheat growers in Gyeonggi, and the harvest was early. If you plant rice, I don't know how many families will cry.

This year, all roads in the world are not as smooth as in previous years, in addition to the man-made disasters caused by the fire, there are also natural disasters. The drought in Shaanxi is relatively serious, with floods reported on Jiangnan East Road and Jinghu South Road, and rains in Yongzhou for more than 10 consecutive days last month, causing a lot of local losses.

However, in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there are inevitably a few disasters in every year, and there have been no disasters for more than three years before, in fact, it is only the stability of the road level, and there are still disasters in the states and counties below.

Thinking of this, Han Gang couldn't help but sigh. If there were no successive wars with the Liao State and the transfer of the throne, this year's disaster would be nothing at all, but now the imperial court has no money, and the inner treasury has no money, and the relief can only be supported by local treasury for a while.

I don't know how many officials in the state and county will take health care to heart. After the catastrophe, there is a pandemic, and disaster relief is not just about feeding the victims.

The Imperial Medical Bureau and the Department of Health and Welfare have long been handed over to others, but the procedures inside are still being implemented in accordance with the guidelines formulated by Han Gang in the past. It's just that those research work, without Han Gang to guide the direction, have come to a standstill.

Letting them develop on their own is good for future development, but for now, wasting time is a trivial matter, for fear of exhausting the patience of the imperial court.

Han Gang hesitated in his heart, should he promote the establishment of an academy and allocate a part of the money every year to support basic research in various directions?
