Chapter 44: The Han brothers who hurt each other
Han Jiang said that there is no action at the moment and he has to wait for new news from Han Tuozhou to come back.
Han Tongqing did not object, but said, "I asked you to come back. First, I can discuss something. Second, if my uncle comes back, I will ask you to be afraid of misleading things. Calculate the day and there should be new news."
Han Jiang said: "I think I should fully support Li Yan at the moment. Then no matter how much money he spends to send to Jin Kingdom, let's deduct half of it first."
This matter! Han Tongqing thought about it seriously: "Yes, this is OK." After saying that, Han Tongqing asked again: "What excuse did you use to ask for leave and not attend court?"
Han Jiang smiled: "I said I wanted to take a concubine, so I asked for eight days off, but I only approved three days. I still need eight days because I have calculated that there are quite a lot of festivals this month, and there are eight days off to connect the festivals together. Basically, this month only takes the last few days of the end of the month to go to the court and pass."
There is also this kind of operation that connects the holidays together.
Han Jiang continued: "The official of the Ministry of Personnel told me that if I force my salary to take eight days off, I told him that after deducting it, I could even deduct it next month. The small official told me that if I take more than five days off a month, I might be dismissed if I take more than five days off a month. If it weren't for this, I would like to ask for twelve days off and this month would have passed."
There is a set.
However, take a concubine.
Han Tongqing asked, "Which family's daughter is the concubine?"
Han Jiang touched his head: "That's right. I plan to tell the Ministry of Personnel next month that the matter was not settled, and I was not taken into consideration in the end, or made up a story. The whole concubine I wanted to take moved out of Lin'an City and fled. We are a famous family, so why can't we force ourselves to rob it? So I got sick when I was angry and could take sick leave. According to Song Lu, I can take up to 99 days of sick leave this year."
Han Tongqing knew that he would be dismissed from office if he had sick leave for more than 100 days.
Han Tongqing asked: "Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by this kind of child-like method?"
Han Jiang replied: "Excuses, all of these are excuses. Those who can see clearly in the court do not need me to explain. Explanations that cannot see clearly are useless. How can Li Zhi jump in the hall?"
"I see, you don't want to get up in the middle of the night to go to court. This is the truth."
"Hehe." Han Jiang smiled awkwardly.
Indeed, I got up in the early morning and then went to the palace gate to wait for the door to open. Who knows the hard work?
When talking about the morning court, Han Tongqing said: "In the past, morning court was once every five days. When it was Daozong, this matter was abolished. How could it be said that if you have something to go to court, you will retire from court without anything. Bianliang fell, and Emperor Gaozong restored the morning court again on the morning court on the five days to court. Later, the emperor wanted to work diligently, and changed it to morning court every day."
Every day, every day, Han Jiang sat aside and muttered.
Han Tongqing continued: "But who can hold on? The rule of the late emperor's filial piety has gradually faded. At present, I estimate that the possibility of changing back to the morning court on the fifth day and the morning court will increase. In order to get to power, Li Yan was afraid of the court, so it is more likely to be once every ten minutes."
"Really?" Han Jiang's eyes lit up.
Han Tongqing nodded: "I think it will be changed within this month."
The last emperor Han Tongqing mentioned was Emperor Xiaozong. He advocated the idea of being so crazy in the morning court every day, but it tortured countless officials.
Now that Xiaozong is dead, the new emperor ascended the throne, this rule will definitely be changed.
What's more, during the years when the Emperor was crazy, the morning court was gone today and tomorrow. The officials in Lin'an have become accustomed to this loose morning court method, and they can't stand it even after suddenly changing it back every day.
In the next few days, Han Jiang began to look forward to it.
Every day, Han Jiang is waiting for news to see when the rules of the morning court will be changed.
What about Han Tongqing.
At this age, he was over fifty years old, and his grandsons had all entered the court as officials, and his great-grandsons were already one year old. He was just enjoying the blessing of the peace, but he had to go out every day when it was still dark. After going to the morning court, he went to Beidaying, and then when he went home, it was dark again.
Han Tongqing felt that he might live a few years less because of this hard morning court.
But what can be done.
Hold on.
However, Han Tongqing would call Han Jiang up every day before morning court. Even if he talked a few words, he would not let Han Jiang sleep peacefully.
What is this called?
Han Jiang invented a new word for Han Tongqing to learn it.
This is called mutual harm.
Han Jiang searched his home in Lin'an and handed over the gold, silver and jewelry that he handed over to the treasury made Li Zhi raise almost a million yuan of money and transported it. This was used by Han Tuozhou to clear the relationship in the Jin Dynasty.
Then, he prepared about three million stagnant coins, which was planned to give gifts to the Jin Kingdom.
Zhou Bida asked to be demoted to the eighth rank official, so the Empress Dowager Li Fengniang naturally did not dare to agree. She quickly gave two titles of Grand Secretary and arranged a free agent.
A few days later, Han Tuozhou's official documents were finally sent back.
In the official document, Han Tuozhou proposed that his negotiations with the Jin Kingdom had made substantial progress, and there were gains and losses.
Good sentences have gains and losses.
The court began to organize personnel and select officials with extraordinary literary talent to prepare to go to the Jin Dynasty to negotiate a covenant.
At night, Han Jiang went to Qian's house with some snacks, fresh fruits, etc.
Because Liu Guo is back.
As a person who didn't even need to mention his name, he returned to Lin'an, one of the messengers who sent Han Tuozhou's official documents.
Han Jiang and Liu Guo met in Qian Xunyi's study.
When he saw Han Jiang, Liu Guo came up and said, "Master."
Han Jiang replied: "Thank you for your hard work sir."
After the two sat down, Liu Guo was straight to the point: "I have to come back. There is one thing that I know for the time being, no more than one palm. Even if it is General Li Er, he doesn't know."
Han Jiang couldn't help but feel a few times more energetic: "Sir, please speak."
Liu Guo said: "Dongweng had a secret agreement with Wanyan Xiang of the Jin Kingdom, which was not proposed by Dongweng, but Wanyan Xiang. If the Song Dynasty could pass this secret agreement, this secret appointment would be written in the new alliance letter of the Jin and Song dynasties."
"What kind of secret contract?"
"The final result of the truce between the Jin and Song dynasties may be three or five years. As a sincere Jin Kingdom will evacuate more than 95% of the troops north of the Huaihe River, it also requires the Song Dynasty to transfer soldiers from Huainan East Road."
After Liu Guo finished speaking, he looked at Han Jiang.
Han Jiang took out a map in Qian Xunyi's study and drew several lines on it, which represent the disaster area of the Jin Kingdom during the Yellow River breakdown.
It can be seen that the Jin Kingdom suffered huge losses north of the Huai River.
Such a result will have a huge impact on both military ration transportation and supply.
Han Jiang asked: "When did Dad get such a secret agreement in Jin Kingdom?"
Liu Guo replied: "Temujin."
Yes.
