Chapter 941: Given the opportunity, it depends on whether it is useful or not.

"Father! Something bad is going to happen!"

Han Jinsun took three steps at a time and ran into the garden. He saw his father Han Jiayan fishing with his uncle Han Zhongyan.

As the eldest son of Han Qi and the former prime minister, Han Zhongyan is already nearly seventy years old and is showing his age. Now he is enjoying his old age in a leisurely and contented way.

Han Jiayan was only in his forties. He was in the prime of life and full of energy. Li Gefei was already preparing to step down as Minister of Rites. Once he came to the throne, he would be a first-rank official. In addition, the Han family in Xiangzhou was in the first imperial examination of the new dynasty.

Nine Jinshi were elected at once, and his prestige among the scholars was immediately pushed to the highest level.

The noble stomachs of the two dynasties have remained standing despite the changes of dynasties. This is the style of an aristocratic family. Recently, the family threshold of the Han family has been almost trampled by people who are rushing to come and go.

As the sixth son of Han Qi, Han Jiayan married a princess of Shenzong in his early years, and his official career was over. Who would have thought that he would be able to hold a high position in the new dynasty after a sudden turn of events. He was even more happy that the family could grow under his leadership.

, seeing his son rushing in, he snorted coldly: "Why are you panicking? Where did your usual energy-raising skills go?"

Han Zhongyan had a kind temperament, just like an ordinary old scholar. Seeing his brother's rising official power, his gray eyebrows trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything and just continued fishing quietly.

Han Jinsun was scolded like this, and his pace slowed down. He came to the front and saluted solemnly: "Father!"

Han Jiayan asked: "But there is an emergency within the Xiangzhou clan?"

Han Jinsun said: "It's not about Xiangzhou, it's about the people in Jingzhong..."

Han Jiayan snorted coldly, intending to train his eldest son: "You are also a Beijing official now, and you have to enter the Honglu Temple. If you encounter a little trouble, how will you convince the public in the future with your posture like this?"

When the King of Yan was established, it was still Yanyun, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. Although it was the essence of the Central Plains, its land area was only a quarter of that of Zhao and Song Dynasties, and its population was only 20 million.

Now that the north and the south have been unified, the national borders and population have increased sharply, the original central officials have begun to be further subdivided, and the opening of nine temples has further improved the central authority.

Han Jinsun said: "Father, it is precisely because the Six Ministries and Nine Temples are in place that the Yushitai caused such a big disturbance..."

Han Jiayan showed some dissatisfaction: "Isn't it already decided that Gongsun Shangshu will be appointed?"

Logically speaking, the Ministry of Rites was held by scholar-bureaucrats in the previous dynasties, and the censor should be a standard Qingliu scholar. Gongsun Zhao was not even a Jinshi, so why should he be the leader?

As for Cai Jingxian's "Nine Sections of Supervision and Discipline", how difficult would it be to be a censor if it were to be restructured like that? It was clearly to protect the power of the prime minister, with ulterior motives!

This is basically the consensus of the scholar-bureaucrats. Han did not clearly express his attitude to the outside world, but at home, Han Jiayan still expressed a similar attitude.

Han Jinsun hurriedly said: "Father, Ren Boyu's son went to Chao Mansion and spoke nonsense, which may cause great trouble!"

The Chao Mansion is the residence of Chao Buzhi, the fourth scholar from the Su family. Thinking of the Chao family, who was once a great noble family that could distinguish themselves from the Han family in Xiangzhou, and now he has been dumped to some unknown place, Han Jiayan sneered.

He corrected: "It's just the Chao family, he is not qualified to be in charge of the government now!"

The Minister of Rites' thoughts jumped, and he suddenly asked: "How are you responsible for the examination and selection of monks in various places, such trivial matters as your mother should pay attention to? Taoist and Buddhist affairs are under the control of Honglu Temple, and it is your responsibility. What's next?

Don’t be merciful to the local gentry who excused Shi Men!”

The names of the Nine Temples and Nine Ministers re-established by the Yan court remain unchanged, but their duties and responsibilities have changed a lot. For example, Honglu Temple is mainly responsible for religious affairs of Taoism and Buddhism. The recent reorganization of temples in various places will be handed over to the Six Ministries.

Leave it to Honglu Temple.

Han Qi has never had a good impression of Buddhism. The Han family in Xiangzhou is a standard academic clan and has not had deep entanglements with Buddhism. Since the New Deal has taken action against Buddhism and there are so many new dynasty scholars in the family, it is natural that he will take the opportunity to make contributions and be in an important position.

Becomes worthy of the name!

Han Jinsun went crazy when he saw this old god talking nonsense, and said loudly: "Father, the son of Ren Boyu was talking nonsense in the Chao Mansion, and now it has been spread. He hopes that Gongsun Shangshu will be trapped in Liaodong, and he will not be killed again."

I can’t come back either!”

Han Jiayan was suddenly stunned and couldn't believe his ears: "What did he say?"

Han Jinsun's lips trembled, and his voice suddenly lowered: "This man prays to God, hoping that Gongsun Shangshu will die in Liaodong and not return home!"

The fishing rod in Han Jiayan's hand fell directly into the pool, and he almost jumped up: "Crazy! Crazy! How dare you say such things? This is the grave sin of 'cursing the military'!"

The ancients were superstitious, and many rulers and even generals used divination to predict good or bad luck when they went to war. Historically, because the palace was on fire, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty thought that the war ahead was unlucky and wanted to recruit the Western Army to return. It was Tong Guan who withstood the pressure and made

A great victory in one battle and a highlight moment.

One can imagine what a serious crime it would be if it were done the other way around!

Now the Yan army is fighting the Jin people in the front, and Gongsun Zhao is also one of the commanders on the front line. The scholars in the rear actually cursed him to die in Liaodong. What a serious political incident this is!

"Stupid thing! Stupid thing! Ren Boyu has been honest all his life and has a good reputation. How could he give birth to such a stupid thing!"

Han Jiayan cursed loudly, but deep down he actually understood.

The scholar-bureaucrats really couldn't look down on the three heroes who currently hold high positions, Gao Qiu, Ding Run, and Gongsun Zhao.

It’s not that they came from humble backgrounds. It’s not unusual for many of the founding heroes to come from poor backgrounds. The main reason is that these three were all former ministers of the previous dynasty and were on the wanted list, and it was more or less facilitated by scholar-bureaucrats.

Now that he is an official in the same dynasty and has risen to the top, it would be very awkward, and he is even more afraid that military officials will use him as an example and imitate him one after another.

However, these three people each have their own merits. So far, no one has dared to directly participate in the play, but only said some strange things behind his back. Gongsun Zhao, who is far away in Liaodong, is even more looking forward to his return...

But you shouldn’t say it out loud, let alone in public!

This is no longer an era when scholar-bureaucrats cannot be punished, and the status of warriors and military personnel is far from being comparable to the humble status of the previous dynasty!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Han Jiayan murmured: "This matter may cause a huge disturbance, no! I want to return to the Ministry of Gifts to discuss it carefully, and cannot wait for an example to discredit us and other scholar-officials.

The image of serving the country and the people!”

Han Zhongyan, who was always dim-sighted and usually a bit deaf, suddenly said: "Sixth brother, for such a big matter, you have to be careful about the enemy's spies taking advantage of it..."

Han Jiayan was startled at first, but soon realized that the enemy this time was the Jin people, and waved his hand irritably: "The Jin people are just barbarians, what kind of spies can they use? Brother, don't bother, I will figure it out by myself."

Put this turmoil to rest!"

After that, he hurried away with Han Jinsun.

Han Zhongyan's slightly cloudy eyes turned slowly, looking at the flowery courtyard, he sighed quietly: "The sun will move at noon, and the moon will wane when it is full. My father once worried that if you climb high, you will fall heavy..."

Naturally, Han Jiayan would not hear his brother's comments, and warned on the way: "You must not be directly involved in this turmoil, especially not to interact with Ren Boyu's son, or even meet him! The Chao family is over, and other scholars present will not leave immediately as long as they do not leave immediately

It’s all over! Are any of my clansmen present?”

Han Jinsun said in a low voice: "Yes, there are several others, all of whom are from the third bedroom..."

Han Jiayan was so angry that he jumped on his feet: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Han Jinsun: "..."

Han Jiayan's mouth was full of bitterness, and he sighed: "My family is unfortunate. Those evil sons, why didn't I send them to the official!"

The Han family now has a prosperous family business, and all clans and branches have a reputation. There are many people coming and going, and they are becoming more and more arrogant and domineering.

In fact, many of them were not good things in the first place, but they were just the culprits who were punished before and ignored them.

For example, the landowners who were labeled as "bully" were all punished and executed, and their relatives were used as slaves and taken away to build the Great Wall. These were all great evils. The evidence was conclusive. To put it bluntly, they caused outrage in the local area and killed people.

Because of the anger of the people.

But that time, many of the first-class people escaped the purge. As for the petty traitors and evildoers, they were even more difficult to rank. There were too many who were rich and unkind, and Zhao Song treated the scholar-bureaucrats too favorably. If we really wanted to arrest them, there would be too few clean ones.

Already.

The same is true for the children of the Han family. Previously, Han Jiayan exterminated his relatives and took down a group of extremely evil people, killing chickens to scare monkeys, and keeping the family in peace for a long time. Now that the limelight has passed, his true colors are immediately revealed...

Han Jiayan took a deep breath, knowing that it would not work from within the clan alone, so he immediately said: "Organize a group of scholar friends, denounce this behavior, and support Gongsun Shangshu as the head of the Yushitai, but remember, don't use me, Han

In the name of our clan, we can build up momentum and let your Majesty know about it!"

Han Jinsun's eyes flashed and he suggested: "Father, even so, why don't our Han family come forward in person?"

Han Jiayan immediately shook his head: "That is what everyone has lost. The anger of the scholars will be poured out on our heads. This cannot be done!"

Han Jinsun actually felt that with the current prestige of the Han family in Xiangzhou, it was not necessarily a bad thing to lose some, but seeing Han Jiayan's resolute attitude, he could only think about it and said: "If this is the case, I know many southern scholars, and there is a Jinling scholar.

You can take on a heavy responsibility."

Han Jiayan's eyes lit up: "Jinling scholar? Very good!"

Since the emperor of the late Song Dynasty moved the capital, Jinling has undoubtedly become a very embarrassing place. Only people born in this place can easily control: "What is the origin of this person?"

Han Jinsun said: "This man's name is Qin Hui. He is only eighteen years old. He is upright and has a lot of integrity. His father served as the magistrate of Gu County, Jingjiang Prefecture, Guangxi. He has died of illness for many years and his family has fallen into decline. Qin Hui had no choice but to become a private school teacher and rely on a meager salary.

When I was practicing, I once wrote a poem, "If I get three hundred acres of paddy fields, I won't be the king of hozens this time"..."

"The Hozen King..."

Han Jiayan laughed. This was obviously a self-deprecation, but the Hozen King was somewhat ambitious in heading north so quickly. It reminded him of the famous saying of Su Qin, a strategist of the Warring States Period, "If I have two hectares of Luoyang and Guotian, how can I

Do you admire the six kingdoms?"

Han Jiayan had a good impression of this person: "Let Qin Hui come forward, and you will keep an eye on the clan members. Don't have any contact with Ren's stupid people anymore, and make friends with people like this who are loyal and upright!"

Han Jinsun took the order: "Yes!"
