The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 123 Reach out

Han Zhongyan said something that Liang Xin said.

After hearing this, Han Zhi took a step forward: "Father, who dares to humiliate me like this, Han..." Han Zhi did not finish the rest of the words because he saw Han Zhongyan's eyes changed and became stern.He immediately shut up, thinking that the person who dared to say such things must be someone his father respected.

"Sit." Han Zhongyan's eyes softened a lot.

After watching his two sons sit down, Han Zhongyan said: "Yanyun is the eternal regret of the Song Dynasty since the founding of Taizu. Now, there is a big chess game, where the wealth of several wealthy families is bet, and one will be famous forever. "

"Our Han family is one of the top wealthy families in Bianjing. My father is the eldest son of Han, and he has five younger brothers. I have been cowardly all my life, and now I have to do something for the Han family. My father has five younger brothers. Man, our Han family has marriages with Lu Xianggong’s family, Wang Xianggong’s family, and Wen Xianggong’s family, and I, the Han family, will definitely take the lead this time.”

Porphyrin pass.

Han Zhi and Han Za knelt down.

They understood what Han Zhongyan said at this time.

This is about doing something big.

Han Zhongyan looked up at the roof for a long time.

His two sons also knelt there motionless, not daring to say a word.

After a while, Han Zhongyan spoke: "In a few days, the results will be released in Qiuwei. Someone has already arranged it. Your third brother is Jieyuan. You go and arrange the celebration. You want to make it lively and let everyone in Bianjing know. Then, there will be people in the court who will impeach my father, then your uncles, and you two."

"Next, you two will go to jail and serve as fathers to protect everyone in our Han family. Third brother's Jieyuan will also be cancelled, and he will not be allowed to take part in the imperial examination again in this life. Don't tell him about this, because father is afraid that he will act. not good."

Han Zhi knelt on the ground and asked, "Father, where is the Wen family?"

"No notice."

What Han Zhi asked about was the natal family of his third brother Han Hao's first wife. His first wife was Wen Yanbo's granddaughter and she was also from a famous family.

Han Zhi asked again: "Father, how long can I keep this secret?" Han Zhi understood clearly that at the cost of his whole family being dismissed from office, there must be a huge plan behind this, but he was worried that his third brother would be slightly affected, so he asked.

Han Zhongyan replied: "When there are agents from the Liao State sneaking into Bianjing, the assassins will arrange for them to bribe the third brother."

"Father..." Han Zhi cried out sadly.

The Han family, at the expense of the whole family being dismissed from office, was just to attract a spy from the Liao Kingdom. Isn't this a bit of a joke?

Han Zhongyan said: "At the next court meeting, there will be operations here at Zeng Hui. The eldest brother and fourth brother of Zhang Gong's family will also be dismissed from office. There will be two people from the Lu family and one person from the Fan family. Next, there will be Zeng Hui, he will He was exiled to Baizhou by Sha Mian. You guys, after you are dismissed from office, go and work as scribes for a few years."

What scribe?
Han Zhongyan didn't explain anymore, he had already said enough.

"Go and have a rest. Everything will be done according to the plan. This matter must not be spread outside."

"Yes, father."

Han Zhongyan is the eldest son of Han Qi, the eldest son, and the head of the eldest family of this generation. He has made a decision. As his sons, Han Zhi and Han Zao must obey even if they have doubts and even if they are unwilling.

Thinking of comparing Han Zhi and Han Za to the Han family, they felt tangled in their hearts.

Zhang family.

Zhang Dun had not been home for a long time. When he came back this time and explained the matter briefly, his eldest son Han Ze was very happy. For the fourth time, Zhang Yuan even had the urge to resign tomorrow.

Zhang Dun had more than ten cousins ​​who were officials in the court.

Nephews, dozens of people serving as officials in the court.

Among his sons, the eldest son is a court official, the second son and the third son are sent to state officials, and the fourth son is now a school secretary.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yuan, the fourth son, was also Liang Xin's direct boss.

Liang Xin is just a proofreader, equivalent to a librarian, and Zhang Yuan is the deputy director of the library.

Zhang Dun came back and told them that he would become a scribe after he was dismissed from office. Both sons were very happy. The son must know his father well. They all knew that their father was a very ruthless person who would only fight to the death in the court. , but who wants to become an official?

After becoming an official, Zhang Dun lived in Liang Mansion.

If others don't know, it's okay for a son to know.He must be planning something big.

Therefore, the eldest son and the fourth son are looking forward to it very much.

The Fan family is quite peaceful.

Fan Chunli chose his brother Fan Chunli's fifth son, Fan Zhengguo.

The reason is simple. Fan Chunren is old and may retire from office at any time due to physical reasons. He hopes to give his brother Fan Chunren a chance to flourish.

According to the plan discussed by the four of them.

We will make every effort to train Zhao Huan, the eldest son of the current official family. When Zhao Huan comes to the throne in the future, these young people who are so-called scribes will be the candidates for the future husband.

Not far away, 20 years.

By then, I believe there will be many ways for today's officials to make him willing to become the Supreme Emperor.

Finally, there is one.

Lu family.

The Lu family flourished since Lu Mengzheng, and later Lu Mengzheng recommended his nephew, Lu Yijian, to Zhenzong.

Lu Yijian became the prime minister and was deposed as the queen.With his full efforts, the Cao family gave birth to a queen, and thus developed a deep friendship with the Cao family.

It is common sense that the Lu family is a civil servant and the Cao family is a military officer.

The possibility of a marriage between these two families is extremely slim.

However, because of the relationship between the two families, Uncle Cao Guo made the decision and Cao Ping married the daughter of the Lu family, who was Cao Tan's mother.

In fact, the Fan family, the Han family, and the Zhang family are all related by marriage to the Lu family.

When Fan Chunli, Zhang Dun, and Han Zhongyan came to visit at the same time the next day, the Lu family chose two extremely talented young people.He wrote a letter asking the two of them to come to Bianjing from Luofu and live in Cao's house first, and then make arrangements after an examination.

the other side.

Cao Tan wrote to Cao Yang.

Cao Yang went to find someone, the Pan family, the Shi family, the Li family...

Each family of the Wuxun family, who are married to the Zai family, sends one person over. He is needed to fill the available official positions in the Dianqian Division. After carefully training their own people, they are ready to lead people to do things at any time.

Just like that, a few days passed.

When planning this kind of thing, generally speaking, if nothing unexpected happens, something will happen.

Who is to blame?
Everything is a coincidence.

Great meeting.

Today's Great Court Meeting was the day when Zhang Dun, Fan Chunli, Su Shi, Han Zhongyan, and Zongze gathered their forces to attack Zeng Hui. What was the result?
Zhao Ji wants to retire from court.

It all started when Zhao Ji was changing clothes and Liang Xin made some idle remarks.

"Guan family, there is an interesting story in Bianjing City. There are several leading actors in Bianjing City who have not yet appeared on stage. They are participating in their autumn festival. Counting the time, they should start to enter the examination room one after another."

"Lingyou? Qiuwei?" Zhao Ji couldn't connect these two words together no matter what.

Liang Xin: "Well, that's it. To be precise, Lingyou is still learning."

Zhao Ji asked: "Qiu Wei?"

"Yes, next spring, according to the time of the Central Examination, they will also take the exam, and then they will conduct the Pavilion Examination in Taoyuan Pavilion. Fortunately, they didn't dare to talk about the Palace Examination. This..." Liang Xin was talking, and Zhao Ji urged him to ask: " Then, who will be the examiner?"
