Chapter 37: Zhutai Looks at Jingguan Road (10)
"Privy, are you ready?"
After crossing the Yellow River and stepping on the towering Golden Causeway, you officially stepped into the land of Gyeonggi.
The official who appeared in front of Han Gang again was not the lobbyist who came to prevent Han Gang from entering Beijing—after he crossed the Yellow River, he had no way to retreat—but Fang Xing, who had been Han Gang's staff many years ago, and Han Gang had been on the banks of the Yellow River many years ago, when he was still white, and Han Gang was only a magistrate. A few years later, Fang Xing was already the prefect of Guancheng County under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Han Gang was one of the highest-ranking people in the imperial bureaucracy.
The current Fang Xing still does not have a background, and he has no qualifications for Jinshi or Mingjing. Fang Xing, who has no background to be the magistrate of Ji County and has no family to rely on, is completely dependent on his experience of running under Hangang twice.
Whether it was in the process of rescuing Hebei refugees or opening up the Xianghan transportation line, Fang Xing, as an assistant, gave Han Gang a lot of help.
No matter from what point of view, Fang Xing is Han Gang's real descendant. That's why he asked directly: "Privy, are you ready?" ”
"If you are not prepared, how can you go south?"
Since Han Gang has returned to Beijing desperately, he naturally has to be prepared for a complete rupture of relations with the New Party.
In any case, Wang Anshi was the leader of the extremely tough group that prevented Han Gang from returning to Beijing. Now that Han Gang has returned to the capital without paying attention, it is difficult for the two to stand side by side, and it is inevitable to distinguish between right and wrong.
Either Wang Anshi is wrong, or Han Gang is wrong.
Either the fish dies or the net breaks.
If it were someone else, there might be a possibility of mitigation. But Wang Anshi's stubborn temper is well known to everyone, otherwise he would not have the nickname of 'Bad Minister'. As for Han Gang, his tough character has not changed from beginning to end, and it is also known that he would rather be a broken jade than a complete temper. In the Funing Palace, the person who dared to force the Queen Mother to exile her two sons from Beijing is now brazenly returning to Beijing in the south, how can he compromise and retreat?
Fang Xing heard the firmness in Han Gang's tone, and he nodded: "Even so, Fang Xing is also ready. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Blasphemy...... This is the impeachment of Wutai the day before yesterday. ”
"Greed?" Han Gang's face was a little strange, the speed of the Imperial Observatory was expected, there was nothing to be surprised about, but Fang Xing's behavior made him feel very uncomfortable, "Is it accepted or confiscated?" ”
"Fang Xing didn't dare to deceive book lovers, he was sincere. However, it was not much, and it did not harm the official business. This is someone who wants to play the Hongmen banquet, which is intended for Pei Gong. ”
There is no official who has not made a mistake, as long as he has the heart to look for it, he can always find the handle. Even though Fang Xing is his old department, it does not mean that he can live a life that everyone envies without accepting gifts like himself.
Han Gang never asks for full blame, just don't hurt people because of this. And Fang Xing was also affected by himself. comforted Fang Xing for a few words, but he was determined to investigate thoroughly.
Set off along the official road to the east, Guancheng has not arrived, but there is already a team of people coming to meet it, from the temperament is not the army, lacking the due slaughter atmosphere in the army, which nobles went out at that time.
"It's the six yamen of the Luguo family. Yesterday, I sent someone to fight the front station. Han Gang was guessing, and Fang Xing was already talking quickly.
"Lu Guogong still holds a grudge against the events of the year? Rushing to send his son to see the excitement? Han Gang shook his head and smiled.
The last time we met, it was in Luoyang. Wen Yanbo's spirit was still very good at that time, but he was angry enough to choke on himself. Now Fu Bi has long stopped asking about the world, Lu Gongzhu finds people to drink and chat more on weekdays, Sima Guang is stubborn and still lives in the cellar, Wen Yanbo heard that he is also a pensioner. But this time, he actually sent his son over, and he had to praise his deafness and understanding, and also think about whether he wanted to see the joke of cannibalism between Weng and his son-in-law, whom he hated the most.
"Get over early. Wen Liu and I can be regarded as in-laws who have turned a corner. ”
In June, the sun was blazing, but for people like Han Gang, who often ran around, it was just a little hot. On the contrary, it was Wen Jifu's enthusiasm that made him a little more uncomfortable.
Wen Jifu and Han Gang have a little relationship, Han Gang and Wu Anzhi, the son of the late Prime Minister Wu Chong, are brothers-in-law, and Wu Anzhi is Wen Jifu's brother-in-law, this level of kinship is still barely able to climb. At least when you sit down, you can also talk about Wu Anzhi's recent situation.
Wu Anzhi is in the period of filial piety, Wu Chong passed away last year, and the benefits that the court should give have not been missed at all, but a former prime minister quietly disappeared into the political arena. Wu Anzhi was also added to the rank of official because of his posthumous watch. By next year, I will be able to remove the service and change to a better position.
Wen Jifu came to greet Han Gang, and the greetings were just like that, and he also invited a meal of wine at a cost. Although he clearly added to the blockage, Han Gang was happy to accept it. Since you can't turn it away from the door from the etiquette, then it's good to drink a drink generously, what's the big deal?
The news of Han Gang's southward movement was like a stone startling a thousand waves. Even in their dreams, Wen Yanbo, Lu Gongzhu and others never thought that there would be such an opportunity. Having just experienced a crushing defeat, it was able to get the opportunity so quickly to deal a heavy blow to the new party and put the old party back on the stage.
Han Gang officially broke with the new party this time, and even if the old party did not like it on either side, it would not stand on the dry shore and watch the excitement. If you don't get involved in time, the missed opportunity won't necessarily come back. Han Gang himself is weak, and there are fewer people in his hands, if he can overthrow Wang Anshi and overturn the new party by the way, Han Gang can't occupy the vacant position, and naturally the only one who can benefit is the old party outside.
After three rounds of drinking, Wen Jifu finally revealed his original purpose.
"Seven bullet stamps. This was two days ago. Wen Jifu wrenched his fingers in front of Han Gang: "Corruption, misjudgment, and mourning, Yukun, Wutai this time, but it is clear that you want to cut off your wings from Yukun." ”
The target of Yushitai this time was not Han Gang, but the officials recommended by Han Gang. And there is also the article of 'mourning teacher', and Li Xin has to be added, which is equivalent to completely eliminating the power of Han Gang's lineage.
He no longer thinks that Han Gang is a lonely man, politically attached to Wang Anshi, and has regarded Han Gang as a hostile force that needs to be eradicated. Even Wang Anshi couldn't stop it, and the New Party was not his alone.
Han Gang also knew this, and he didn't have much resentment towards Wang Anshi, but some things couldn't be stopped, "As long as you don't move Daibei, it doesn't matter." The hearts of Daizhou and Xinzhou are settled and can't stand the toss. ”
Wen Jifu's revelations did not shake Han Gang, for the safety of the north, he would never agree to the arrangement of changing the personnel order.
Wen Jifu's two eyes searched for Han Gang's face, but he didn't find a trace of anger, "Yukun, you are very open." ”
"The court will give justice. Trust the imperial court. Han Gang replied with a smile.
A legal edict, one that needs to be stamped by the Son of Heaven or the Empress, and also needs to be countersigned by the Zaifu. Whichever one is missing, it's illegal.
So Han Gang is not worried, there are some edicts, and the queen will never agree to them. As for those who don't need to go through the queen's hall, even if they can get to the place where they should go in time and accurately, they won't cause much damage.
But problems are unavoidable. Sooner or later it will have to be resolved.
But Han Gang still didn't take it to heart, which made Wen Jifu feel disappointed.
But he couldn't help but wonder, how many hole cards does Han Gang have?
……………………
"How much do two meat steamed buns cost?"
"Seven bucks."
"How much is the fruit of candied lingo?"
"Eleven articles in a string."
"How much is this plain yarn?"
"Two runs and four hundred and sixty texts."
Seven hundred and eight consistent, two thousand wen. The plain yarn produced in Hebei was sold for 2,000 wen a horse, which was much more expensive.
On the water sign of the rice shop, the price of a bucket of rice is 93 yuan, which is 4 yuan higher than the previous two days.
asked and didn't buy it, Feng Congyi, who came all the way, received a lot of blank eyes.
Prices are starting to rise. Feng Congyi said, and it was universal.
The actual discount of five cents has dropped by half a cent, and it is only half of the face value. If the huge fluctuation in this actual price comparison is because of the discount of five coins that are about to be minted by one million, then Shaanxi, which also needs to add cast iron coins, will not be much worse there.
The "Reference" he obtained from the two bulletins, which was attached to the bulletins, had already explained this in detail - the subscription cost of more than 200 yuan a year was not low, but the money was worth it. Timely, valid, and private information is invaluable.
Feng Congyi is also the owner of the Qianzhuang Ping'an, so he has to consider the flying money business that has just been launched.
Fluctuations in currency exchange prices are troublesome for the Flying Money business. The problem of the exchange ratio of iron money and copper money in Shaanxi is very nerve-wracking, and there is also the problem of big money whose actual value is constantly changing, such as folding two and five, and Ping An has to give a convincing solution, and it is a plan that changes every day.
Gold and silver are good to say, gold and silver interchange shops always have water signs to hang out the exchange price of gold and silver and copper coins on the day. However, there is no authoritative determination of the exchange ratio of copper and iron coins.
If he can't solve the problem of how to exchange copper and iron coins as soon as possible, then even if he is angry in the Ping'an, he will not be able to change the result of losing credit.
On the other hand, the news that Han Gang was heading south also made the capital uneasy.
"It's a real headache." Although Feng Congyi sighed like this, his steps were steady, and he did not break his head because of urgent questions, but walked into his destination today.
Champion Horse Society.
Only owners who are or have owned a horse that has won a horse in the First Division of the Turf League have the opportunity to receive invitations to small societies – and only for a while. Until now, there were only 28 members. or the princely clan, or the in-laws of the heavenly family, as well as the rich and the merchants.
It's small, but it's miscellaneous.
Feng Congyi should have the lowest status among them, but when he stepped into the luxurious hall, most of the people stood up and saluted him:
"Morning, Brother Feng."
