After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

At the court meeting on September 8th, the third year of Yuanyou in the Song Dynasty, Wang Jiefu, who was already 68 years old, submitted the last document of his life - the Song Dynasty's "Four-Five Plan"!

The people of the country once again put aside their joy and began their final journey.

At the end of October of the same year, Wang Gui, Lu Huishu and Wen Kuanfu jointly submitted a petition requesting to retire and return home. Zhezong personally approved their request.

Lü Dafang and Liu Zhi were promoted as successors to Lü Huishu and Wen Kuanfu.

In early December, Sima Junshi collapsed again in the office of the Taijian and Jianyuan. In the middle of the same month, he submitted his resignation, which was approved by Zhezong.

Fu Yaoyu, the deputy privy envoy, entered the Council of State because of his great achievements in the Northern Expedition and was granted the title of Tongzhongshumenxia. After Sima Junshi retired, he took over the censorship.

This sixty-four-year-old man had wasted half his life and, after a journey, returned to the starting point of his official career and began to do what he was best at: supervision and persuasion.

On July 14, the fourth year of Yuanyou, Wang Jiefu submitted his resignation, withdrew from the court where he had fought all his life, bid farewell to his former reform comrades, and returned to his hometown in Jiangxi to enjoy his old age.

Fan Chunren was recalled to Beijing and took over Wang Jiefu's post as the Acting Minister of the Three Departments to continue the "Four-Five Plan".

On the first day of March in the fifth year of Yuanyou, Sheng Changbai, Lu Haoqing, Su Ziyu and Lu Huiqing were conferred the title of Tong Zhongshu Menxia, ​​marking the beginning of the Mesozoic era's rule.

Up to now, among the seven people who were once entrusted with the care of the orphan, only Han Shipu and Han Ming are left.

At the end of the same year, Lu Dafang and Fu Yaoyu jointly resigned and left the central government, and Liu Zhi took over the two courts of censorship.

On April 17th of the sixth year of Yuanyou, Cai Que, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, and Wang Shao were awarded the title of Tongzhongshu Menxia for their meritorious service in defending the northern border and returned to Beijing to take up their posts.

Su Shi, who took over the bookstore, was promoted to the position of Vice Prime Minister for his contribution to compiling the national history.

This Mr. Dongpo, Taoist Tieguan, and Mr. Yuju finally stepped onto the center of the political stage.

In mid-August of the seventh year of Yuanyou, Han Shipu and Liu Zhi resigned from their official positions together, handed over the government affairs to Han Ming and other Mesozoic officials, and returned home to enjoy their retirement.

Watching his father run away, Han Ming held his forehead and sighed, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

After all, compared with the prime ministers during the Huizong period in the original history, my father entered the central government more than ten years earlier.

Since the old man has no intention of taking charge of the government, forget it, let him go home and look after his great-grandson.

You read that right, Han Duanyang and Princess Yanxi have a child, and Han Ming has become a grandfather in the blink of an eye.

In September of the eighth year of Yuanyou (1093), Empress Dowager Shen passed away. Facing the now seventeen-year-old Zhao Xu, Empress Dowager Xiang formally announced the return of power, and Emperor Zhezong began to rule the country personally.

In fact, this was just a statement. After the Yuanyou Northern Expedition, Han Ming intended to return power to Zhao Xu.

It was precisely because of Han Ming's existence that Shen and Xiang's behind-the-scenes rule became a superficial effort, and the young emperor was involved in state affairs very early on.

This alone made Zhao Xu very grateful. After all, he was not a child who was willing to be commanded by others, as had been shown in history.

In the same year, Emperor Zhezong announced the completion of the "Fourth Five-Year Plan" and officially changed the reign title to "Shaosheng" the following year!

For a time, the whole world was shaken, and people shouted the name of the "prosperous era" as - Shaosheng Prosperous Era.

At the end of the ninth year of Yuanyou, the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong, and the capital was decorated with lights and lanterns everywhere.

In the largest restaurant in the city, scholars and writers gathered together to compete in literary talent.

In the bustling market, merchants from all over the world gathered, and all kinds of rare treasures were on display.

Glass products from distant Western countries are highly sought after here, while the country's exquisite silk and porcelain are shipped to all parts of the world.

On the border, the sound of military drills shook the earth, the sophisticated weapons gleamed coldly in the sun, and the soldiers were all heroic and their morale was high.

They guard this beautiful land and prevent foreign enemies from coveting it.

In 1094 AD, on the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Shaosheng in the Song Dynasty, the "Shaosheng Prosperity" named by later historians began.

The Shaosheng Era refers to the prosperous era during the Song Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Zhezong of Song.

After Song Zhezong ascended the throne, he promoted culture and education, appointed talented people such as Han Ming and Wang Jiefu, reformed official positions, rectified the administration of officials, worked hard to govern the country, and the Song Dynasty entered its heyday during the Shaosheng period.

Politically, Song Zhezong reformed institutions, rectified the administration of officials, improved the efficiency of bureaucracy, promoted virtuous officials, and revised laws.

Economically, Song Zhezong formulated economic reform measures: crack down on the landlord class, ease land annexation, and liberate the labor force; increase revenue and reduce expenditure, increase government fiscal revenue, and reduce the burden on the people; crack down on Buddhist forces and vigorously develop agriculture.

In the military field, Song Zhezong reformed the military system, vigorously developed military farming in border areas, expanded the territory, and established the Far East Protectorate in the northeast, bringing the future Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liao under his rule.

Culturally, they promoted literature and education, emphasized Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, and produced many talented people.

In terms of ethnic relations, the trend of great integration in East Asia has been basically achieved, which has greatly promoted social and economic development.

During the Shaosheng period, the Song Dynasty reached an extremely high level in all aspects, the national strength was unprecedentedly strong, and a prosperous situation emerged in which "every household had surplus food."

The social economy was unprecedentedly prosperous and the population grew substantially. During the Shaosheng period, the population of the Song Dynasty reached 10,000.

Business is very developed, domestic transportation is well-connected, and the city is prosperous.

Foreign trade was very active, and merchants from Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe flocked in. Major cities such as Jingzhao Prefecture (Chang'an), Xijing Luoyang, Dongjing Bianliang, Quanzhou, and Panyu were crowded with merchants of all skin colors and speaking different languages.

The country is unified, the politics is clear, the economy is prosperous, the society is stable, the military is strong, the culture is flourishing, and the technology is advanced.

The Song Dynasty became the largest, most populous and most powerful country in the world.

The military power during the Shaosheng prosperous period was powerful and unrivaled wherever the troops went.

The economy was prosperous, accounting for half of the world's total; culture was also prosperous, with cultural arts such as Song Ci reaching their peak.

A vast empire that stretches from Sakhalin Island in the north to Etorofu Island in Japan in the east, from Puro (Singapore) in the south to the Aral Sea in Central Asia in the west, and encompasses the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Indochina Peninsula, stands in the east of the world.

At this point, the Song Dynasty completed its historic transformation and officially entered the Shaosheng Period of Prosperity, whose influence surpassed the Kaiyuan Period of Prosperity in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty!

. . . . . .

"Grandfather, come quickly!"

Several anxious voices of young men and women came from not far away. They supported a tall old man into the mansion.

Judging from the doorplate, it seems to be the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, which was once the governor of Zizhou Road, the Minister of War, the chief commander of the Five Military Commanderies, the commander of the Left Army, and the Prince Taibao.

It was pitch black at this moment, but the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was bustling with people coming and going.

Of course, if you ignore the bitter and resentful faces of passers-by, it might be a good atmosphere.

"Old Prince!"

"Old Prince!"

"Your Highness!"

"..."

When the old man entered the inner courtyard, everyone bowed and saluted with respect in their eyes.

"How is your grandmother?"

Han Ming, who was called 'Old Prince', put his hands behind his back and asked Gu Tingye's eldest grandson, a handsome young man.

"The imperial physician diagnosed that if he couldn't survive tonight...it would be very difficult."

The young man's face was gloomy and his brows were drooping.

"Where's your grandfather..."

As soon as Han Ming opened his mouth, he heard a burst of crying and immediately knew what was going on.

Glancing at the descendants of the Gu family and the Sheng family all over the yard, Han Ming sighed lightly.

After a while, Yu Yanran and others who came from the Prince Guangyang's Mansion also squeezed into the yard.

"How's Minglan?!"

Seeing the little old lady with silver hair, Han Ming immediately reached out to support her and shook his head helplessly.

Yu Yanran's heart sank and she almost fainted. Thanks to Han Ming's comforting words, she was able to calm herself down.

"It's okay, it's okay. Good things will happen to you. You'll get through it."

Han Ming didn't know what to say. After all, his age was there, and when the time came, no one could stop him.

Everyone waited in the yard. Gu Tingye's wailing continued, which made Han Ming annoyed.

"boom--!"

"If you keep crying like that, you'll really make people cry away!"

"What kind of character is this? He's the Prince's Guardian. Ugh!"

Han Ming's move immediately stopped Gu Tingye's wailing. Looking at the white-haired Gu, he snorted and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Stop!"

"Who are you calling a mourner?! Have you gotten used to being the Emperor's teacher for all these years? How dare you criticize me?!"

Gu Tingye stopped crying and rushed out angrily to stop Han Ming.

"Father, calm down!"

"Grandfather... please stop talking!"

Gu Tingye's children and grandchildren quickly grabbed the other party.

"What?! Do you still want to practice with me?!"

Han Ming didn't tolerate him at all, just like a bull.

"Just practice, I'm afraid of you!"

Gu Tingye was so angry that he went back to the house and picked up the family heirloom spear to fight.

"Let's go!"

Han Ming took the lead and walked out.

Looking at the two old men with the old child, the group of people couldn't persuade or stop them.

"Why... so noisy?"

A weak sound came from the bed. Gu Tingye paused, his spear fell to the ground, and he staggered into the house, followed by another burst of wailing for his parents.

"If you cry again, I will really leave and never come back."

Sheng Minglan looked at Gu Tingye with a pale face, feeling neither amused nor helpless.

"Don't cry anymore, don't cry anymore, I won't cry anymore!"

Gu Tingye quickly wiped his face and looked at the other person with a silly smile, just like when they first fell in love at the polo field, silly as hell.

Seeing the behavior of their father and grandfather, the children of the Gu family quickly turned their heads away. It was so embarrassing.

"Hey, are you still practicing?!"

Han Ming's hateful voice came in again to disturb the old couple.

"Get lost! I have something important to do right now. Let's meet again another day."

Gu Tingye grunted for a long time before uttering this sentence.

“(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~! What a shame!”

Han Ming left the room leisurely with his hands behind his back. He briefly greeted Yu Yanran and others, said a few words of comfort, and then left.

This crisis at the Gu Mansion tonight has really caused unrest in half of the Bianjing city.

"Old man, why are you so angry?!"

Yu Yanran grabbed Han Ming's hand from behind and found that his palm was cold.

"Seeing Zhong Huai and Ming Lan like that, I felt a little panicked too!"

This was the first time Han Ming showed such a frightened expression in front of Yu Yanran, which made her smile knowingly.

"Don't worry, we'll all be fine."

Yu Yanran held Han Ming's somewhat cold and stiff hand and walked slowly on the way home. The children and grandchildren following behind them slowed down their pace for fear of disturbing the elderly couple.

. . . . . .

A few months later, the then Prime Minister Sheng Changbai celebrated his 70th birthday, and Sheng's relatives, friends and former officials all came to congratulate him.

Sheng Minglan, who had recovered after a few months, also attended the event, and everyone spent half the morning celebrating happily.

Yu Yanran and the other female relatives talked about the past for a long time, looking very sad.

In the afternoon, Sheng Changbai insisted on dragging Han Ming, Gu Tingye, Sheng Minglan, Sheng Molan, Sheng Rulan, Sheng Changfeng, and Qi Heng, the Duke of Qi, whom he had not seen for many years, to the backyard of the Sheng family. The families of several of them also accompanied them.

"Isn't this the same school as before?!"

After Chang Feng got married and entered the officialdom, he moved out of the Sheng Mansion. When he saw this school again, everyone's memories were brought back here.

"It is indeed the original school. I didn't expect that you haven't demolished it yet, Zecheng?"

Qi Heng has experienced many ups and downs over the years, and has gained both experience and a different life.

Now when I see this school, my eyes unconsciously drift towards the old lady with silver hair standing beside me.

"I can't bear to leave. This is where everything started..."

Sheng Changbai was trembling a little as he was supported by Hai, and patted the door panel.

"Sixth sister had to bribe Zhuang Xueji with delicious food to avoid being punished by copying books!"

Molan was overjoyed when she thought of good things.

"This is not a good thing. She followed Yuan Ruo and called me Second Uncle when we first met!"

Gu Tingye pouted and scolded his old lady Sheng Minglan.

"Just shut up! You're still arguing with me after all these years!"

Sheng Minglan was completely driven crazy by this old man who became more and more jealous as he got older.

"I remember that the old prince and the princess seemed to have met in Sheng Mansion as well!"

Rulan seemed to have thought of something and quickly interrupted everyone, looking at the two people in front of her with interest.

"It's not a reunion...it's a reunion!"

Han Ming and Yu Yanran smiled at each other, their eyes full of nostalgia. They walked in slowly hand in hand. As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, they heard bursts of reading sounds.

"I have no interest in worldly things, my nature is to love hills and mountains."

"I fell into the web of dust by mistake and was gone for thirty years."

"The birds in the pond miss the old forest, and the fish in the pond miss the old abyss."

"Opening up wasteland in the southern wilderness, returning to the garden and farming."

"The house is over ten acres square, with eight or nine thatched houses."

"The elms and willows shade the back eaves, and the peach and plum blossoms in front of the hall."

"The distant village is hazy, and the smoke from the village is lingering."

"Dogs bark in the deep alleys, cocks crow atop mulberry trees."

"The courtyard is free from dust, and the empty room is full of leisure."

"After staying in a cage for a long time, I can return to nature."

A group of young men and women sat neatly on chairs, listening attentively to the old man's lecture, their eyes revealing a thirst for knowledge.

"Jingyuan..."

"Jingyuan..."

“Han Jingyuan——!!!”

The book is finished (but the story of Young Master Han and Young Miss Yu is not over yet? ( ′???` )!)
