In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and all government offices have sealed the holidays as usual and have ten days of rest.
The officials at Yongxing Military Road breathed a sigh of relief and quickly used their skills to ask their close friends in Bianliang City or their elders to find a way to bring Kou Zhun back to the court, or find a way to exchange Han Qing for
I want to get rid of him, so as not to make Yongxing Military Road miserable by this old man and this young man.
As a result, the letter was sent out, and the New Year's gifts that came with it were substantial enough. In a roundabout way, they persuaded Lu Mengzheng, the former Prime Minister of the previous dynasty, to take action. At the first court meeting after the New Year, he wrote a letter to remonstrate with the officials.
Kou Zhun was recalled to cope with the inevitable floods of the Yellow River every year after the beginning of spring.
However, the result was just the opposite.
Zhao Heng, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, hated the entanglement between Yongxing military officials and the Red Lotus Sect, and dared to block the news, leaving the court in the dark about the matter for a long time.
Therefore, in a rare move, he directly "approved" the beggar's bones and bones handed over by Song Shouzheng, the transfer envoy of the Yongxing Army last year, and allowed him to return to his hometown for retirement.
Immediately, Zhang Qixian, the envoy for the strategy and pacification of the Yongxing Military Road, was also transferred back to Bianliang. Zhang Qixian's friend, Tongping Zhangshi Xiang Minzhong, was appointed to go to Yongxing Military Road as the pacification envoy for the strategy.
At this time, everyone understood that Zhao Heng was preparing to deal an unprecedented heavy blow to the Yongxing Army.
It was the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that the two prime ministers were out of town.
Although Kou Zhun and Xiang Minzhong are unlikely to stay at Yongxing Military Road for too long, with the two of them working together, even if the imperial court replaces all the officials at Yongxing Military Road, it will be impossible for the local government to afford anything more.
The storm is coming.
As a result, the local officials at Yongxing Junlu who had connections in Bianliang quickly looked for connections to be transferred. Those without connections had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and see if there was any way to replace Han Qing, even if it meant paying someone to help him.
Han's promotion can also reduce the risks he faces.
However, before they could take action, Zhao Heng suddenly, through the Ministry of Personnel, officially awarded Han Qing Yongxing the post of Judge of the Criminal and Prison Department of Junlu Tidian, in recognition of his previous contributions, and the right to appoint Tidian Prison.
During this period of time, the judge worked diligently and conscientiously, and was very effective.
As the news spread, there was another lamentation in the Yongxing Military Road officialdom.
In Bianliang City, at the entrance of Han Chonggui, the former Marquis of Yu, in front of the palace, there was an endless stream of old friends and acquaintances who came to congratulate him.
As the two emperors Taizu and Taizong passed away one after another, it gradually became a trend for the generals of the Song Dynasty to switch from military to civil.
Basically, the third generation of generals in each family studied poetry and literature, graduated from Imperial College, were born as Jinshi, and went on to serve as local civil officials.
However, many of the third-generation generals' children just returned to the horse after reading. However, they still could not endure the hardships of the army, so they could only hang a virtual title of seventh or eighth rank in the imperial army in front of the palace.
, and then go home to hang out.
As a result, in the past ten years or so, there are only a handful of people who have successfully transitioned from martial arts to civil service, and have become full-sixth-grade civil servants without relying much on the family's backing!
People like Han Qing, who have obviously made a big mistake and have no hope of a future, but suddenly turn around, or "turn around", are even rarer.
Therefore, in the eyes of a group of veteran generals, Han Qing is just "other people's children" and is definitely worth learning from.
Especially after Li Jihe returned to Bianliang and boasted about Han Qing's performance in the army and in front of Kou Zhun, the old generals who looked up to Sun Chenglong increasingly believed that their grandchildren should be "
"Brother Han" is a role model!
Han Chonggui, the Marquis of Yu in front of the front hall, was always a cheerful person. When old friends came to visit, how could he not hold a banquet to entertain them? As a result, they were all drunk for several days.
However, after the guests left, Han Chonggui drank another bowl of sobering soup under the service of his servants, and his face began to become clouded with sadness.
"The officials and Kou Laoxi'er are using Jiajun as a lonely minister! Alas -" Han Chonggui slapped his hand on the table and sighed in a low voice while there were no outsiders around.
As a veteran general who has personally experienced many major events such as the "Chenqiao Mutiny" and "The Death of Prince Wugong", he has a very clear understanding of the emperor's thoughts. (Note: The Death of Prince Wugong. After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne
, named Zhao Kuangyin’s son the King of Wugong County. Later, he publicly reprimanded the other party for snooping on the throne, causing the other party to commit suicide to prove his innocence.)
Therefore, a few years ago, when the new emperor Zhao Heng came to the throne, he took the initiative to retire and returned home on the grounds that his old injury had recurred.
Now, his only grandson, because of his outstanding achievements in serving the imperial court, has changed from a temporary prison judge to a full judge, and he also has the empty post of a sixth-grade Chengshilang. Logically speaking, he should be happy.
However, just because he was familiar with the emperor's mind, even though he was happy, the old general couldn't help but worry about his grandson's future.
Since the Yongxing Military Road was able to transport Song Shouzheng in the late festival and left Tongpingzhang political officer Zhang Qixian helpless, how could the water be as deep as usual?
If Kou Zhun wants to sort out the complicated Yongxing military and officialdom, he must cut through the mess with a sharp knife. And his grandson Han Qing and Han Jiajun are now obviously the sharp knife in Kou Zhun's hand.
Among the familiar faces of the old General Han Chonggui, those who became prime ministers or emperors rarely ended well in the end.
The reason is very simple. Once the knife is used up, sooner or later it will be put into the scabbard or simply thrown away.
It is impossible for the imperial court to kill all the officials on the Yongxing Military Road, and more than 70% of them must remain. And these 70% of officials do not have the courage to hate the officials of the Song Dynasty, and they may not have the courage to hate Kou Zhun, but they can take revenge on the officials and the Kou
It must be the same knife that was used to chop them!
In this way, one day when the officials are ready to sheath their swords, Han Qing, the grandson of the old general, will immediately face the danger of being attacked by wolves.
Unless Han Qing made no mistakes when he was serving as the judge of Yongxing Military Road Tidian Prison. Otherwise, even small mistakes will be magnified infinitely and then put on the line, becoming his "ulterior motives", "
The irrefutable evidence of "deceiving the emperor and ignoring superiors".
"Come here, bring me a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Jiajun!" After thinking about it, the old general finally decided to write a letter to remind his grandson to pay attention to the dangers of officialdom, while secretly plugging holes for him behind his back.
Because last year Han Qing was punished for beating a party emissary in the street, the relationship between the old general and his grandfather and grandson was actually somewhat tense.
Based on his intuition, Han Chonggui believed that even if he wrote the letter, his grandson would not read it seriously.
It is normal in the world for children to grow up, not to mention grandchildren who are separated by another generation.
As elders, we always hope to pass on our lifetime experiences and lessons to the younger generations. We hope that the younger generations can learn from these experiences and lessons and not wait until they hit a wall before they know how to look back.
However, the juniors never appreciate it until they really hit the wall.
However, even if his grandson secretly laughed at him for being pedantic and reminded him, Han Chonggui still felt that it would be better for him to remind him more.
What if this grandson reads his letter?
My grandson has been independent since he was a child and doesn't like to follow common sense in doing things.
Maybe, after reading the letter, he acted out of his own way again.
In addition, since he has become a prison judge, the old general hopes that his grandson can serve a full term before returning to Bianliang. Or, he can hold several more different official positions in the local area in order to repay the official's "loyalty to the country".
Treat each other with kindness.
"Don't be in a hurry to come back. There is nothing going on at home anyway. And your two cousins can also take care of the whole family. Good men are everywhere..." At the end of the letter, the old general was like an ordinary grandfather, verbose.
Advice.
Then he put down his pen and sighed secretly outside the window.
The wind started blowing outside the window again, and the strong wind carried snow particles, making the windows crackle.
In the past two years, Bianliang has experienced "changeable climate" and is really not a suitable place to live.
