It is also on Gengzi Day.
The envoys of the Jianxiong Army who stayed in Luoyang, Xijing, and the envoys of the West Taiyi Palace, who knew Han Jiang of Henan Prefecture, received the emperor's appeal from the horse in Bianjing.
"Emperor Daxing..." Han Jiang cried and collapsed in the main hall of the government office: "Why don't you wait for me, veteran..."
The officials on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to support this veteran of three dynasties and the minister of integrity.
"Ms. sir, please take care of yourself!"
"My lord, please protect yourself for the sake of the country and the country..."
Han Jiang stood up staggeringly, wiped away her tears, and said: "Unfortunately, Emperor Daxing is about to leave the world. As a minister, we and other ministers should mourn from today to fulfill the courtesy of a minister..."
"From today onwards, all government offices, temples and Taoist temples should mourn..."
"In compliance with the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing, the people must not be restricted in their marriages or funerals. The people should be allowed to do whatever they want, and no actions should be taken to annoy or disturb the people!"
"According to the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing, there are officials who go to the government office to express their condolences and can only cry fifteen times. After fifteen times, everyone should return to their posts and focus on state affairs!"
"The Yingtian Hui Holy Palace and Yingtian Zen Temple should be repaired in order to honor Emperor Daxing in the future!"
Han Jiang calmly arranged all the mourning matters one by one.
All the officials and subordinates in the hall bowed their hands and said, "We will obey your orders!"
Han Jiang nodded, shed tears, and walked towards the backyard of the government office with the support of a servant of the Han family.
He looked like he couldn't help himself because of the loss of his king.
But in his heart, Han Jiang's countless thoughts were shaking.
In fact, he had already received a secret report from Bianjing last night.
Right Prime Minister Cai Que sent people to send a letter to him all the way to Beijing without any effort.
In the letter, Cai Que not only told Han Jiang that the emperor passed away and the new king ascended the throne before his death.
At the same time, Han Jiang was also informed about the incident of Wang Gui, the left prime minister, who said that the jujube paste was dull and the yin held both ends.
At the end of the letter, Cai Que praised Han Jiang's political achievements as a local official in these years in parallel prose.
Compare Han Jiang to Zhang Cang of the Han Dynasty and Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty.
Han Jiang saw it and understood what Cai Que was talking about!
That was Cai Que's promise to him: I will recommend Han Gong to the DPRK!
Therefore, at this moment, Han Jiang is actually ready to enter Beijing as prime minister.
He knows what he should do? What he shouldn't do?
So, when he returned to the backyard, Han Jiang immediately ordered his family, wives, and concubines to be called, and told them: "From today on, you are not allowed to leave the official office for even half a step!"
"Anyone who violates my prohibition..." Han Jiang looked at her family angrily, and the head of the family was full of power: "They are not my family!"
Although the family members, wives and concubines didn’t know why, looking at Han Jiang’s appearance, they all knelt down and said, “Wei!”
Han Jiang nodded and told his family: "From today on, I will not meet any guests, nor will I interact with any guests again... If any elders in the city or old friends from the past come to visit, you should speak frankly: Now
Unfortunately, Emperor Daxing is about to leave the world. As a veteran minister, I have the great trust of Emperor Daxing. I should stay in Xijing as the new monarch and honor my ancestors and emperors, the Holy See! Please forgive me for not being able to meet him!"
"clear?"
At this time, Han Jiang's family finally tasted something.
Every eye lit up.
"Sir..." His sons were particularly excited: "You mean...we can go back to Bianjing?"
Bianjing! That’s Bianjing! A place that is haunted by dreams!
The sons who were able to stay with Han Jiang and follow him to Luoyang to serve as officials were naturally not successful people - the truly successful children either studied hard in their hometown and worked hard for the imperial examination, or they had already achieved fame and received honors.
He was sent by the imperial court and was serving as an official in another place.
These Yameni's minds are now filled with every detail of their lives in Bianjing.
A young lady stripping off her clothes and sumo wrestling together.
There are a dazzling array of restaurants on Mahang Street.
The moonscape under the Zhou Bridge, and the endless stream of literati and poets in the Jinming Pond.
Those little ladies who are good at playing, playing and singing in the Goulan next to the Daxiangguo Temple... those ladies in Tianshui Lane who have the door ajar...
By the way... what kind of grace should Master Li of this generation be like?
Just thinking about it, these people are already ready to make a move.
There is light in every eye!
Compared with Bianjing, Luoyang, the capital of Xijing, is just a shabby alley in the countryside where the big people live.
Han Jiang looked at the appearance of these worthless things. How could he not guess what they were thinking?
But, it doesn’t matter!
Among all the famous families in the country, which family doesn’t have a few incompetent bastards?
With a cold face, he warned sternly again: "You must remember this! There is not even the slightest flaw in this matter. Don't blame me for not thinking about the love between father and son!"
"only!"
Han Jiang let out a slight breath, and his cloudy old eyes burst out with sharp light!
Three times of Xuanma!
Just thinking about this, he couldn't control himself!
If he can Xuanma for the third time, return to Bianjing, ascend to the capital hall, and serve as the elder of the three dynasties, he will assist the young master again.
After a hundred years, he will definitely be attached to a temple!
Since you can enjoy the Daxing Emperor's temple, it is not impossible to fight for it and be granted the title of king after death!
When you are in the position of being the prime minister, the officials avoid the way, you die in the temple, and you live with the country!
Han Jiang couldn't help but feel excited.
Naturally, Han Jiang knew that he owed Cai Que a big favor.
He also understood that Cai indeed hoped that he would repay his favor in the future.
Just as he repaid Wang Anshi in the past - the next day, he took Cai Que and Cai Chizheng from the place and brought him back to the capital.
Naturally, Han Jiang also understood.
If he really returns to the DPRK, he will pay homage to the Prime Minister again.
All old friends in Luoyang may have opinions about him again.
But……
So what?
Han Jiang recalled the past, and the memories of the Xining era kept flashing back in his heart.
The conflict of interests between the new party and the old party and the tit-for-tat confrontation and mutual incompatibility in the court also emerged in his mind.
What he knows is that as long as he ascends to the position of prime minister again and becomes the prime minister of the capital.
What happened in the court in the old year will definitely happen again!
"Everyone says that Wang Jiefu is just trying to defeat the Prime Minister..."
"But who knew that Sima Junshi's temper is no worse than Wang Jiefu's!"
For more than ten years, Sima Guang has been studying Zizhi Tongjian in Luoyang.
But Emperor Daxing of Bianjing never forgot him for a day.
Whether it is the Xining period or the Yuanfeng period, as long as Sima Guang is willing to nod, then there must be a place for Sima Guang in the three provinces and two prefectures of Bianjing!
Maybe Sima Guang had already paid homage to the prime minister.
However, Sima Guang was so ruthless.
Get into trouble with the officials directly.
If he doesn't agree to repeal the new law, Sima Guang will not join the court as an official!
Just like Wang Anshi did back then.
Without giving him the opportunity and trust to express his ambitions, he would rather serve as a local official.
Therefore, Han Jiang knew it very well.
If he becomes prime minister again, his biggest rivals and enemies will not be the younger generations in Bianjing City.
It was Sima Guang, who had been in close contact with him over the years and became a good friend of each other.
Just like back then, Wang Jiefu entered Bianjing.
Many people who had made good friends with him, became close friends, and even wanted to make sworn friends with him, immediately turned against him and became enemies.
"I just don't know if Sima Junshi is like Wang Jiefu, who is good at understanding gentlemen but bad at understanding villains?"
That was Fan Wenzhenggong’s evaluation of Wang Jiefu in the past.
Facts have indeed proved that Wang Jiefu has a big problem in employing people!
If Sima Jun is actually just like Wang Jiefu, whom he hates most.
Han Jiang closed her eyes.
That's so ironic!
…
Note: Luoyang, as the Western Capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was the most important place for the royal family of the Song Dynasty besides Bianjing.
After the death of each emperor, his coffin would stay briefly in Luoyang.
At the same time, the Yingtianhui Holy Palace and Yingtian Chanyuan in Luoyang both enshrine the emperor’s royal appearance and are known as the places where the ancestors and gods are worshiped. They have a very high political status!
