Chapter 917 The temples are fighting against each other (10)

【Yesterday's third update, today's third update】

Zhao Xu looked at Li Dexin's sallow complexion and knew that he had suffered a lot of fatigue and consumed too much energy. He also brought Li Dexin the ginseng soup to restore his energy and gave him a seat to rest.

Li Dexin was so grateful that he kowtowed and thanked him. After resting for a while, Li Dexin calmed down, recovered his strength, stood up, and signaled to Zhao Xu that he could continue, and the only prince was carried in front of him.

It was surprising, completely different from Princess Shushou. When she was consuming acne, Zhao Zhong, who was only three years old, did not cry. The whole process was quiet. The black and white pupils were clear and unique to children. She opened her eyes and saw Li Dexin holding a new silver needle. After disinfecting, she cut her arm and applied acne. She did not make any noise at all.

Wang Gui and Han Gang exchanged a slightly surprised look, grew up beside a woman in the deep palace. She has been raised as a treasure since she was a child, and she has never suffered any pain. It is normal to cry like Princess Shushou, and it is so quiet that Zhao Zhong is considered an anomaly.

When Han Gang was experiencing acne, only two of Han Gang's sons were better than two, and the three younger ones were almost a little better than Princess Shushou. However, the child's temper was not sure, and maybe the exception was not sure today.

But Wang Gui would make up for fun and knew how to make Zhao Xu feel better: "Duke Jun was only in his age, and he was so calm. He should be given the virtues of heaven, which is really an exception."

Zhao Xu immediately smiled, nodded repeatedly, and his eyes turned to Han Gang again.

Han Gang knew that Zhao Xu was waiting for someone to praise his son, so he said helplessly: "The youngest child has almost no one who does not cry. It is indeed rare to be as calm as Duke Jun."

Zhao Xu still nodded violently. Listening to Wang Gui, Han Gang was happy to say good things about his son.

Here, he was praising his son to his father, and the last process of acne had been completed. Zhao Zhong and Princess Shushou had a red belt on their arms, which was intended to ward off evil spirits, and it was also considered as a memorization.

Li Dexin talked to the prince and princess about how to take care of the acne after acne and what kind of reaction would be. Although the doctor's advice had been printed, it was given to every child who had acne for free. But a group of people were listening attentively, fearing that a word would be missed.

After half a day of trouble, the protagonists of the acne finally left the back hall. An Tao and Li Dexin and others also went out, leaving only Wang Gui and Han Gang in the hall.

Zhao Xu returned to his seat, said a few gossips about taking acne just now, and returned to the expression the emperor should have. Looking at Han Gang: "Han Qing..."

Han Gang bowed his head: "I'm here."

"But you still know Xu Xi?" Zhao Xu asked.

"... I only met in the court, and I had no contact. However, I had the honor of reading the twenty-four chapters of "Governance Strategy" and the article was written very well."

Zhao Xu's expression was slightly moved. Xu Xi is a very popular official in the court recently, especially his most famous attitude towards attacking Xixia. As a court official, Han Gang certainly would not be unaware of Xu Xi's urgency to destroy this court food when attacking Xia, but he only praised Xu Xi's articles and did not comment on the twenty-four "Governance Strength" he had read. It can be seen that Han Gang's attitude towards attacking Xingling remains unchanged.

"Xu Xi is interested in the northwest and is good at planning. His intentions are not inferior to Wang Shao."

Zhao Xu compared Xu Xi to Wang Shao, and Han Gang couldn't understand the intention, and sneered in his heart. Before he could grab the things, he started to divide the spoils. He made a decision and then moved. It was amazing, but it was indeed "not inferior to Wang Shao."

"Your Majesty." He asked back: "The chaos in Liao is imminent, and this matter is well known, and it is a foregone conclusion. But how long can the Liao Kingdom have been in civil turmoil? But it is impossible to determine. If one of the sides defeats the opponent and unify the country, and the elite officials in the government are trapped in the Xingling Palaces of Xixia, then it will be a disaster in Hebei."

If Guo Zhongxiao was in the hall and heard Han Gang's speech, he would definitely be surprised. What he said was the same as what Guo Kui said at home. But if Guo Kui was present, he would never be surprised. If he had stood in Han Gang's position, this reason would be the most appropriate. Han Gang wanted to try to send Guo Kui to Hebei, the excuse he could choose was of course to focus on the threat to Hebei by the Liao Kingdom.

Han Gang's words seemed to prove that the quick attack strategy was absolutely not feasible, but Zhao Xu heard the flaw from it. If Hebei had a prestigious commander, then why not be afraid of the Liao Kingdom, which had just passed through civil strife?

This is a compromise.

Han Gang and Guo Kui's attitude of opposing the rapid attack on Xixia actually put a lot of pressure on Zhao Xu. Now all the civil and military officials who are most proficient in military affairs in the court have a stance of stability as the main point. Even though the reasons may be because of the two of them having selfish thoughts, Zhao Xu was still somewhat unsure. Now that the alternative conditions have been given, a huge rock in his heart has fallen to the ground.

"Han Qing, who do you think should be the best place to go out to Hebei?" Zhao Xu asked.

"This matter should be judged by Your Majesty." Han Gang would never name it, as it would arouse Zhao Xu's suspicion and add some resistance. "From the view of it, it should be based on its prestige and knowledgeable about military affairs."

Han Gang actually found it a bit difficult to deal with Guo Kui's request. If he couldn't recommend it on his own, he had to let the emperor take the bait himself, which was very difficult. In the end, he could only try to draw a line, tailor it for Guo Kui, and let Zhao Xu cooperate by himself.

Han Gang has moved the topic to Hebei now, but in fact he has already given up the idea of ​​lingering in Shaanxi. If Hebei is stable, the northwest can naturally attack Xixia with peace of mind. There are only a few candidates to stabilize Hebei, so Han Gang must not recommend himself.

Prestige is still the first indicator. If you meet this condition, the number of people is not very large. With the ability to limit it, stretching out a hand and counting with the fingers above is still too many. Qualified candidates who have both abilities and prestige have searched all over the court, and there are only a few.

So is it Zhang Dun or Wang Shao?

Zhang Dun's qualifications are still a little shallow. The main purpose of going to Hebei is to take charge, rather than leading the army to fight. Prestige is far more important than ability. Wang Shao has no connections in Hebei. Although he has military achievements, it is still a bit difficult to suppress his position.

After walking around, Zhao Xu knew it, but he still had some doubts about Han Gang's sudden mention of Hebei. Could it be that he had discussed it with someone in advance?

"How about Guo Kui?" he asked, staring at Han Gang. Wang Gui, who had been silent, also focused his attention on Han Gang.

Han Gang was stunned for a moment. Zhao Xu should have considered Zhang Dun and Wang Shao before mentioning Guo Kui. Why did he mention Guo Kui's name first? The war is imminent, and there must be an auxiliary minister in the court who is deeply aware of military affairs. Apart from Guo Kui, who can take on the great responsibilities at critical moments unless Zhang Dun or Wang Shao returns.

"In this way, there will be no auxiliary ministers in the two palaces who have passed through the battle formation?" He said tentatively. Even if he can't help Guo Kui, completing the exchange, it will be better than falling into the water himself.

Zhao Xu felt relieved, asked himself what Han Gang was thinking, and smiled and said, "It's okay. It's enough to have Han Qing give me some advice."

Han Gang also understood Zhao Xu's idea. What would Zhao Xu think for ten years? From the result, it is not difficult to speculate. He probably thought that he was planning to recommend Wang Shao to Hebei at the beginning, and then he had the idea of ​​recommending Wang Shao to return to the two palaces.

This idea is not surprising, but the last sentence is really too self-righteous. Han Gang couldn't hear it. Zhao Xu was not saying that it was enough to have his own suggestions. He was clearly saying that there was no need for anyone to point fingers in the two mansions.

This is an emperor who can give formation maps to the generals on the front line. He likes to formulate tactics for the generals on the front line according to the sand table. During the years in Xihe, during the period in Guangxi, he received formation maps and tactical plans many times. Zhang Dun and Han Gang often praised the emperor's instructions in the memorials, and then stuffed them into the Gallery that was nowhere to be seen.

He is very confident in his military talent and likes to control everything. Now he is the time to be proud and he probably doesn't think there will be any trouble for a little Guo Kui, and he will avoid listening to his opposition to the quick attack. He can be quieter.

Guo Kui got what he wanted. Although he still couldn't guess the reason why Guo Kui wanted to go to Hebei, Han Gang was not prepared to be too busy. The excuse he gave before was actually reasonable. This old guy is actually just a Jinshi, and his ability is no worse than anyone else in terms of talent and intelligence. He can basically feel at ease if he goes to Hebei to take charge.

It took an hour to go from the Chongzheng Palace at the same time. Although the whole thing was not decided, as long as Guo Kui nodded and took charge of the Hebei military as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, there would be basically no surprises.

Wang Gui walked in front and left the area of ​​Chongzheng Hall. He slowed down for a moment and turned his head: "Yu Kun."

Han Gang then took a half step forward.

Although the two had disputes over the rapid attack and slow attack, their relationship was not bad. Wang Gui had helped Han Gang a few times and owed favors. Although he could not give in on principles, Han Gang respected Wang Gui very much during daily interactions.

"If Guo Zhongtong knew that Yukun, you recommended him to go to Hebei for no reason, I don't know if he was willing or unwilling."

"This is the emperor's intention." Han Gang sighed.

Wang Gui looked back and was misled by Han Gang's attitude, nodded and said, "Prince Chun is not bad when he goes to Hebei. It is indeed a waste to stay in the south now."

Han Gang was really sighing. Wang Shao has not been out for a long time, it has only been more than a year, and it is unlikely that he will return to Beijing. Moreover, he read from the letter that he is in poor health and it is useless to recall him. After being found out by the censor, he might be forced to take his illness.

Wang Gui didn't know Wang Shao's condition. Seeing that Han Gang didn't want to mention Wang Shao's entry into Beijing, he smiled and said, "Yukun, do you know that Wang Shunchen, the inspector of Fuyan Road Capital, was sued for his lies to report his military merits?"
