The dusk was already deep, and the Chongzheng Hall became very dark.

Two eunuchs were holding fire, lighting the candles in the glass lampshade one by one.

Queen Xiang was not reviewing the memorials, and looked at the eunuch a little dullly as she lit up the lights. She spread on the Zhang Shu in front of her, and there was no trace of a red pen. The brush made of Xiangfei bamboo was held in her hand, and the tears-stained pen holder did not move. It had been a long time since she had no intention of writing.

After Shi Deyi from the Imperial City Department was well-known outside, he hurriedly stepped into the hall.

He raised his eyes to the queen, sat up straight, and asked, "Sir Han has left the city?"

Although Han Gang was already the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, Xiang Empress still used the title he had become accustomed to.

Shi De hurriedly reported respectfully: "When the saint's words, Mr. Han and his party were the city that he left two quarters of an hour ago. If you walk fast, you will be able to arrive in Guoqiao Town tonight. Tomorrow you will go to the Sourzao River and arrive in Xinxiang, and then go north from Baixing, and you will be able to enter Taiyuan soon."

Queen Xiang's eyes were dazed, not knowing whether she heard it or not. Shi Deyi did not dare to disturb the queen, so he had to hold his breath and stand intently. After a while, he suddenly said, "Sir Han hasn't gone home?"

"No." Shi Deyi shook his head with great affirmation.

‘This is Pure Minister’s.’ He exclaimed quietly to the Queen.

If the ruler is in power, he should at least give in to Wende Hall to fulfill the etiquette of the king and his subjects. However, the Hedong Incident made all rituals go through the motions, and Han Gang, the person involved, didn't care even more.

The civil and military officials in the court were like Hangang who could help the people and express their difficulties for the country? They could also treat high-ranking officials as normal as Hangang. Searching all over the court, Queen Xiang could not find a second talent that could match her.

"Empress, the prince is here." Yang Jian suddenly reminded in a low voice.

Queen Xiang immediately sat upright and ordered: "Let the Sixth Brother come in."

Immediately I saw Zhao, wearing a big dress and a crown, stepping into the hall under the leadership of the wet nurse, the harem maids and eunuchs.

"My son pays homage to the queen." Zhao Mai bowed and bowed to the queen.

Xiang Queen narrowed her eyes and carefully observed whether her son was wrong in this complicated ritual. This was related to his position in the minds of officials and the people, and even whether he could be competent for the emperor in the future.

However, Master Zhao performed very well. Two days later, it was the day when Master Zhao officially left the cabinet and studied. His Royal Highness, who had just turned six after the Chinese New Year, had practiced etiquette for three months for this day.

When Zhao Xu was basically unable to recover, the crown prince Zhao Zhui was already half an emperor. At normal age, he should love to play and make fun of him. But at this time, Zhao Zhui was educated to be like an old man.

He pulled Zhao Zhong and asked the queen about the results of his learning over the past few days.

Zhui Zhao stood honestly, reporting on his achievements with a dignified expression.

It was not his own flesh and blood, but the prince lost his intimacy after all.

She sighed to the queen secretly, "Who made her unable to have a son or half of her daughter, her only daughter died early, and the princess and princess who were finally preserved in the palace were all born to Concubine Zhu."

Zhao's maid dared not delay the silence of the morning and evening, but he would not stay with the queen for a long time. After the report, he stood up like a little adult and said goodbye. He and his mother wanted to pay their respects.

"By the way, when Mr. Han left, he recommended a few people to enter the Imperial College." He watched his son leave, thought to the queen, and then said, "Just do it according to Mr. Han's wishes."

………………………………………

Han Gang finally left.

This made Cai Que breathe a little relieved. He hoped that Han Gang could continue to create miracles in Hedong, but Han Gang didn't say anything about how sure he could succeed, and no one else could guess. It seemed that it wouldn't be too high. Cai Que could only secretly pray that Han Gang would return triumphantly in the end.

Xing Shu even breathed a sigh of relief to express his gratitude, "I finally went north." He murmured to himself in a low voice.

"Uncle He, don't worry too early." Cai Que shook his head, "Do you know what Han Gang asked the Queen today when His resignation?"

Xing Shu lowered his head: "I dare to ask for details."

"He recommended your twelve classmates who were taken to Beijing to the Imperial College!" Cai Que chuckled, but saw Xing Shu's face suddenly change.

Cai Que smiled unchanged: "Look, how smart. He turned his head and recommended the twelve disciples to the Imperial College in the name of being acquiring great leadership."

It is said that Han Gang respects his teachers and respects his words, but after Cheng Hao arrived in Beijing, Han Gang sent a valuable gift, but after seven or eight days, he visited him once, but he had a little bit of Cheng Men Lixue's demeanor back then? How could he think of him giving him a big gift when he left, and he didn't even need to take the exam and was directly recommended to the Imperial College.

"Don't tell me, what will Master Ling do in this situation?"

Xing Shu thought about it and shook his head, "Xing Shu doesn't know."

But maybe he would also make a default. Xing Shu secretly guessed.

Although Han Gang did not have a good intention this time, no matter from any perspective, this is a kindness to Cheng Hao's disciples and an opportunity for Cheng Hao to expand his influence.

The Imperial College implemented the three-way sacrificial method, from the outer sacrificial to the upper sacrificial hall, from the outer sacrificial hall to the upper sacrificial hall, and then it rose one level after another. After becoming one of the top sacrificial halls with only one hundred people, they would have the opportunity to be directly granted the Jinshi and become an official. In other words, if the Imperial College students have good grades, they would not even have to participate in the imperial examination.

Han Gang sent Cheng Hao's disciples to the Imperial College, even if they were only two thousand people who sacrificed their lives, they had to do this kind of favor. Otherwise, not only would the queen be guilty of the queen, but she would also be shameless in the eyes of the world. She could even go there, otherwise the queen might say something ignorant and would be ruined in half her life. No matter which family's Mr. Xixi was disliked by the mistress, it would be impossible for her to teach her disciples peacefully.

But if these twelve men were studying in prison in moderation and had no sound, it means that the disciples of Cheng's sect have betrayed the teacher. Those who are disciples cannot insist on the knowledge taught by teachers. Then who would believe that this teacher has enough talent to teach good disciples? But if they refuse all of them, the result will only be worse. The worst case is that they entered the Imperial College, but had a dispute with the members of the new party in the Imperial College.

Although Cheng Hao brought the students in the capital, they chose a veteran and steady person, most of them were still too young and could easily be incited.

"My husband, can you..." Xing Shu stopped halfway through his words, and he believed that Cai Que could understand it.

Cai Que understood it, but he vetoed it: "Han Yukun stood up this time, and the two mansions received his favor, so they had to return it."

If Han Gang does not take over, the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council will be responsible for the matters in Hedong - they will take the blame for the emperor - on the contrary, Han Gang, the former Hedong General, can escape because he recommends and promotes the generals and schools that are not involved in defeat.

But now Han Gang goes to Hedong as the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, which is equivalent to pulling the whole thing on himself, and is separated from the two mansions by a layer. No matter what the matter finally evolves, Han Gang is the first person in charge. If he is punished later, a ruling ruler can always be beaten, and Lu Huiqing is also responsible. He is the chief and deputy envoy, half of the Western Mansion. There is no need to worry about anything at all.

"Wang Jiefu will not obstruct it. Just twelve people, the Imperial College's direct lectures, lectures, and storytelling are almost two or three times more important. Can it make the world come true?"

Han Gang's intention was nothing more than to restrain Wang Anshi and Cheng Hao. When he was not in the capital, he asked Wang Xinxue and Cheng Menluoxue to fight. However, he did this openly and did not hurt others with conspiracy.

When Xing Shu sighed, he naturally was not convenient to say anything. But no matter whether he was true or false, he had to remember Ercheng's teaching virtue and had to stand on Ercheng's side.

"But Han Yukun is not having a good time." Cai Que trusted Xing Shu very much and didn't even mind revealing some confidential news: "As soon as Han Gang left, he sent a letter from Hebei. He said that he had reported it in detail. Seven days ago, about 10,000 Liao cavalrymen turned to Feihu Xing, but did not go south to Hebei."

Xing Shu's face suddenly changed. This news was a complete and bad news.

The east end of Feihu Xing is Weizhou of the Liao Kingdom, and the western section is Daizhou of the Song Dynasty, with the boundary of Pingxing Village [Pingxingguan]. Now Daizhou is lost, and both ends of Pingxing Village are soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, so it will definitely not be able to be protected. Once the Liao people have opened up the connection between Hebei and Hedong, the soldiers on both sides must join forces. Whether Taiyuan can persist, even Hangang will not have a bottom.

No one in the two palaces wanted to see the defeat of Hedong. If Han Gang, an important official who knew the military affairs of the Northwest, could not solve the problem, he would really not be able to choose people in the court. At that time, the Liao people with big mouths would not be easy to deal with. If another alliance under the city would have to go on to go, at least one or two prime ministers would be accompanying him.

'After all, it's best to win.' Cai Que thought. If possible, at least defend Taiyuan. Hebei is guarding the three passes and Dingzhou and the front line of Baozhou. If Daizhou or Yanmen cannot be taken back, it can be exchanged for Xingling. But if it really cannot defend the northern border of Hebei, the north of Daming Prefecture will become the hunting ground for the Liao people. Even if the Song Dynasty wants to negotiate and exchange land, the Liao people will only rob their own souls first.

Cai Que sighed softly. No matter how intrigue, when facing foreign enemies, the attitudes in the two palaces were still very clear.

Everything depends on Hangang.

………………………………………

Hangang and his group were flying on the wasteland. On a night without moonlight, only the roads across the roads could be seen clearly. If you are not careful, you will fall to the ground immediately.

The roads in Gyeonggi are repaired every year, but potholes are still indispensable. Just like the Western crescent moonlight does not shine on the ground, if you run down, the possibility of breaking bones will become greater and greater, but Hangang does not mean to slow down.

After leaving Beijing, Hangang walked very fast, and he didn't even care about the deep night. From the sun to the west, until the time when he was holding the lights, he led his servants and subordinates to run forty miles. The lights in the Lantern County were already far away.
