The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 415 Dangerous
Wang Gang didn't kill Duan Yan for the time being, and locked her in the dungeon first, and sent people to guard her strictly.

On the other hand, Wang Gang sent more people to protect his family 24 hours a day.

As the reform progresses, Wang Gang will offend more people and face more assassinations. He doesn't care about it, but he can't implicate his family.

Sheng Ziqiu learned that Duan Yan was a woman, and she approached him just to wait for an opportunity to assassinate her father, and she was sad for a long time.

Although Wang Gang feels sorry for his daughter, he doesn't know how to comfort her. He can only let time heal everything.

Duan Yan never repented in the prison, she insulted Wang Gang all day long, and never got in.

Wang Gang made a special trip to see her once in the prison.

"Dog thief, why didn't you kill me?" When Duan Yan saw Wang Gang, she wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Wang Gang took a dossier, sat outside the cell, and slowly said: "Your Duan family has been running Jiangnan for generations, and is the largest landlord in Jiangnan. Your father Duan Yuhong has a reputation as a scholar, so he refuses to pay taxes."

Duan Yan said angrily: "My father has always been kind to people, he often helped the people, built bridges and paved roads, if it wasn't for this dog thief who ruined my family, I wouldn't be like this."

Wang Gang sneered and said, "Your father is kind to others, it's a joke."

Duan Yan said angrily: "You are not allowed to slander my father."

Wang Gang sneered and said: "Your Duan family has been doing things like oppressing the people and annexing land all these years. The so-called building bridges and paving roads, and charging high tolls from the people after each road is paved, how can it be done by kind people? for."

In order to carry out the implementation of dividing the household into the mu, Wang Gang had already inquired clearly about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

That Duan family seems to be kind, but secretly instigates slaves and oppresses the common people. In Yurou Township, the evil deeds are too numerous to record. Otherwise, Wang Gang would not take him as a model and kill him.

Wang Gang didn't implicate the nine clans, he only punished the culprits, and released all innocent people, otherwise Duan Yan wouldn't have lived to this day.

It's just that Duan Yan was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and she doesn't know much about the family affairs, let alone the evil deeds of her father and brother, so she regards Wang Gang as a villain.

"These are the evidence of your father and brother's crimes, you should take a good look at them!"

Wang Gang threw the dossier to Duan Yan and asked her to read it by herself.

Duan Yan picked up the file dubiously, read it for a while and threw it away.

"Fake, you fabricated this." Duan Yan said angrily.

"This king has no time to fabricate these things. Although your Duan family members are dead, those oppressed tenants are still alive. If you don't believe me, you can ask them?"

Duan Yan looked suspicious and said, "You want to let me go?"

Wang Gang sneered and said, "I don't support idlers."

Duan Yan was released, and the moment she walked out of Qingjun Palace, she still felt a little unreal.

Wang Gang didn't take Duan Yan seriously at all, and soon got into work.

Recently, the implementation of stalls entering the mu in Shandong has encountered obstacles, and Wang Gang is going to send Qi Heng to deal with it.

In the end, Sheng Minglan ran over to Xingshi to question her.

"Third Brother, why did you send Qi Heng to Shandong on business?"

"Qi Heng is an official appointed by the imperial court, so it is only natural that he should go to Shandong for business."

"There are so many people in the imperial court, why must Qi Heng be the one?" Sheng Minglan asked.

Wang Gang put down the memorial and asked, "Why can't Qi Heng go to Shandong?"

"Qi Heng has just been to Jiangnan, why can't he take a break?" Sheng Minglan said.

Ever since Wang Gang found out about Sheng Minglan and Qi Heng's mess, he transferred Qi Heng away from Bianjing in the name of official duties, and Sheng Minglan complained a lot.

"Ming Lan, don't forget your identity, do you really want the officials to kill Qi Heng?"

Sheng Minglan felt guilty, and whispered, "Qi Heng and I are innocent."

"It doesn't matter whether you are innocent or not. Qi Heng is too close to you. The officials can bear it for a while because of your face, but they can't bear it forever." Wang Gang sighed.

Sheng Minglan sat down in a daze, and said, "Do you want me to be trapped in the deep palace for the rest of my life?"

Wang Gang asked back: "You chose this path at the beginning, why do you regret it?"

Sheng Minglan raised her head and said: "I didn't enter the palace because of the Sheng family, and now the Sheng family has such a good reputation, it's not because of me."

Wang Gang frowned and said: "I told you before that once you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea, and if you don't want to enter the palace, I can help you, but you still insist on entering the palace if you don't listen.

Since you have chosen this path, you can't go back on your word. Don't forget, you still have a son. Do you really want to break with your son? "

In history, there were many lonely queen mothers who couldn't abide by the palace rules. Without exception, they would fall out with the emperor's son. Even Qin Shihuang was not immune, so how could Sheng Minglan be an exception.

"Third brother, life in the palace is too difficult." Sheng Minglan held Wang Gang's hand and cried.

Wang Gang sighed, feeling sorry for his sister, and said: "You like Qi Heng, I know, but you are destined not to be together, unless Qi Heng is willing to take a knife and break the root of filth."

Sheng Minglan raised her head in surprise, struggle flashed in her eyes.

Wang Gang frowned, thinking that you really want to eunuch Qi Heng! ?
Sheng Minglan didn't make up her mind in the end, and left in frustration.

Wang Gang thought she had given up, but he didn't think so. A few days later, Wang Gang received the news that Qi Heng encountered robbers while on business in Shandong and was seriously injured.

After Qi Guogong and his wife found out, they were so frightened that they could not wait to go to Shandong to find their son.

After the little emperor found out, for Ming Lan's sake, he sent an imperial physician to Shandong to treat Qi Heng.

The imperial doctor soon sent back news that Qi Heng was seriously injured, especially his lower body, and he might not be humane in the future.

After Qi Guogong and his wife heard about it, they fainted from fright, and Qi Heng's wife, Mrs. Shen, cried even more.

Wang Gang took a deep look at the harem, thinking how cruel his sister is!

Qi Heng was carried back to Bianjing, and he recovered from his injury for two months. The little emperor even sent someone to visit him. In Wang Gang's view, he wanted the eunuch to confirm whether Qi Heng was really useless.

Anyway, when Qi Heng went to the palace to meet Ming Lan, the little emperor didn't stop him.

Wang Gang didn't stop Sheng Minglan from seeing Qi Heng anymore, and he will focus on the reform from now on.

With the mandatory implementation of dividing the land into acres, the national tax revenue has increased at a visible speed.

The country can do a lot of things if it has money. Under the leadership of Wang Gang, the state machine of Da Song is developing at an extremely fast speed.

On the side of Daliao and Xixia, Wang Gang did not relax. He has been increasing the strength of the frontier army and pouring a steady stream of firearms into the army.

Originally, the military strength of the Song Dynasty was too concentrated in the center, which made the strength of the frontier army weak. Wang Gang consciously reduced the forbidden army and increased the frontier army.

Gu Tingye stayed in the Northwest for a long time, and troubled Xixia twice in three days, changing his previous passive defense mode.

On the other hand, Wang Gang asked Kong De to conquer the hearts of the people in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the future war with Liao.

Over at the Sheng family, the old lady Sheng didn't survive the winter, and passed away peacefully in her sleep on a rainy night.

Wang Gang held a grand funeral for him.

After Mrs. Sheng left, Master Liao also died of illness. Once the old man of the Sheng family left, Sheng Hong's health also gradually deteriorated.

However, Sheng Hong should have no regrets in this life. One of his sons became a high official in the court, and the other became a king directly.

Lin Sushuang's health is good, but Sheng Molan's is not.

Since marrying Liang Han, Sheng Molan hasn't had a good day. Just dealing with the Yingying and Yanyan around Liang Han consumes a lot of energy.

She also asked Wang Gang for help, but Wang Gang felt that Liang Han's nature was hard to change, and this husband-in-law was chosen by Sheng Molan herself, Wang Gang didn't want to get involved in their husband and wife affairs at all.

Sheng Changbai is under the care of his younger brother, Wang Gang, and his official career is prosperous. Now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. His wife, Liu Shi, manages the family well, so he doesn't need to worry about him at all.

The fifth child, Sheng Rulan, married off, took care of her husband and taught her children, the husband and wife lived in harmony, and lived happily ever after.

The old seventh, Sheng Changdong, also participated in the imperial examination when he grew up, and was a Jinshi in high school. He was released by Wang Gang to preside over the reform.

The three brothers of the Sheng family almost controlled the government, and the little emperor kept silent.

In the fourth year of Yuanyou, Hai Chaoyun discussed a marriage with his daughter. The other party was Gu Tingye's son. With the relationship between Wang Gang and Gu Tingye, the marriage between the two parties was almost a matter of course.

After experiencing Duan Yan's incident, Sheng Ziqiu seemed to have no extravagant hopes for love, and obeyed his mother's arrangement to marry into Ningyuanhou's residence.

After her daughter got married, Hai Chaoyun took two concubines for Wang Gang and insisted on finding a son.

The emperor paid off. After several years of "hard work", Wang Gang finally made a concubine pregnant.

Hai Chaoyun is very fond of this child, so he hopes to have a son so that Wang Gang can have someone to succeed him.

The concubine lived up to everyone's expectations, she was pregnant for ten months, and finally gave birth to a son, Wang Gang named Sheng Yong.

After Wang had just had a son, the atmosphere in the court began to become weird. The little emperor became even more taciturn, almost stopped interfering with state affairs, and lingered in the harem all day long.

Until one day, the little emperor recruited Wang Gang into the palace on the grounds that he was seriously ill.

Before Wang Gang entered the palace, he had a premonition of great danger.
