Chapter 827: Poison Cake
Han Mo slowly came out of the ranks of ministers, knelt down in the court, and said respectfully: "What the ministers have done, they should do their duty, and they dare not ask for rewards!" ”
"If it weren't for you leading the troops back to Beijing, the Su family father and son wouldn't know what to do. The emperor looked calm and said slowly: "And your subordinates rescued cabinet officials from the West Flower Hall, these are all pillars of the imperial court, if you lose it, the consequences will be unimaginable." These credits, I don't need to say much, all of you Aiqing also know it, if I don't give you a reward, everyone in the world will scold me for not knowing the rewards and punishments, I am a faint king! ”
"Don't dare!" Han Mo looked terrified: "The Holy Lord is a generation of Saints, known to the whole world, and all the people worship it!" ”
The emperor laughed and said, "Since he is a holy monarch, he naturally has to be rewarded and punished clearly. After a pause, his expression became solemn, and he said slowly: "Han Mo, since you entered the court, what you have done is really extraordinary. I recently thought about it, the rebellion of the Ye and Wu families, it was you, as the vanguard, who broke through the Ligu Pass, and you personally led the troops to attack Hanye City first. The Ximen clan plotted to set a trap to slaughter the court officials, and it was you who designed to save it and exposed the conspiracy of Simon Leizang. This Yichun He family stores weapons and equipment, grain and grass, intending to rebel, and it is also you who expose the He family's conspiracy and nip a big chaos in the bud. This time Su Yuting's father and son rebelled, and it was you who personally led the army back to Jingqin Wang ......! ”
When the ministers heard this, they were suddenly shocked, and unconsciously, the five great families had been destroyed one after another, but they all had a great relationship with Han Mo to a greater or lesser extent.
This young man seems to be a nightmare for the family, less than two years after entering the dynasty, there are five century-old families who have disappeared because of him, and for those families who have perished, this young man is really a demon-like figure.
Han Mo lowered his head, listening to the emperor say this, but he didn't know what he meant.
"These credits add up, and it can't be overstated." The emperor said slowly: "But I have always felt that you are too young and still need to be experienced, so I am not in a hurry to become an official and become a knight!" ”
When the courtiers heard this, many people thought secretly in their hearts: "A twenty-year-old young man, who has only been in Beijing for a year, is already the commander of a battalion, and the director of the West Flower Hall. ”
Many shrewd people understand that these rewards were originally intended to strengthen the Han family and use it to fight against the Xiao family and the Su family.
It's just that now that the Su family is dead, the Xiao family seems to be much worse than before, but I don't know how the emperor will arrange Han Mo next.
The emperor pondered for a moment, and finally said: "But this time to quell the rebellion, I realized that ambition is not old, but young does not mean that the ability is weak. All your credits, I remember them one by one. His voice suddenly rose high, "In ancient times, there was a young boy Ganluo as the appearance, and I will do this today, Han Mo listened to it." Spread my will, crowned Han Mo as a chariot general, and served as a minister! ”
……
Thunder!
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including Xiao Taishi Han Xuandao, were also dumbfounded.
Officials Shang!
Han Mo!
No one can connect the two for a while, since the founding of the country, the six departments are all held by the children of the family, but the youngest must be over thirty years old, where there is a precedent for joining the ministry before the age of twenty.
And once you become a Shang, you will also have the qualification to automatically enter the cabinet.
It is unthinkable that you can become a cabinet official before the age of 20.
There was silence in the court for a while, a deathly silence.
Hundreds of courtiers were silent.
Many people felt that the emperor was crazy and would hand over the post of official to Han Mo, if so, then the Han family accounted for half of the six departments of the Yan Kingdom.
Han Xuandao's household department, Han Xuanchang's ritual department, and Han Mo's official department, what a terrifying reward.
Han Xuanling was promoted to the title of hussar general by three levels in a row, which surprised the courtiers, and Han Mo was named a minister, which was even more a bolt from the blue, blowing up on the heads of the courtiers.
If the emperor is not crazy, what is it?
Could it be that he was showing weakness to the Han family, could it be that he didn't dare to compete with the Han family because he saw the rise of the Han family, so he chose to retreat?
But the courtiers know that their emperor is not an incompetent emperor, let alone an emperor who begs for peace, such a reward, it is definitely not his character, what is he going to do?
Han Cang, who was at the rear of the court, involuntarily clenched his fists at this time, staring at Han Mo kneeling in the court, in the depths of his eyes, he was unwilling and unconvinced.
Han Mo himself was also confused by the emperor's reward will, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but he came back to his senses very quickly, and when many courtiers were still dumbfounded, Han Mo had already said loudly: "Please take back the holy order!" ”
The emperor's face sank, and he said, "Take back your fate?" He glanced at Han Xuanling and said, "I have a golden mouth, how can I take back my fate?" My will has been made, there is no reason to take it back, from today, you will go to the ministry to run errands, the matter is not familiar, the ministry has someone to help, over time, with your talents, it will not be a problem! ”
Han Xuanchang's heart was like electricity.
Han Mo was named a minister, it was really beyond his expectations, after a moment of shock, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he actually understood the emperor's hidden meaning in an instant, and immediately came out of the ranks, knelt down and said: "Qi Shengshang, the minister is opposed!" ”
"Oh?" The emperor stroked his beard and looked at Han Xuanchang: "Han Aiqing, why do you object?" I proclaimed this will in front of everyone, do you want to refute my face in front of you? ”
"Don't dare!" Han Xuanchang knelt straight and straight, and arched his hand: "Shengshang, the so-called Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, Han Mo has a few catties and taels, and the minister, as a father, is clear." This son is quite lucky, and he is quite courageous, but when it comes to governance, he doesn't know anything. The Ministry of Officials is one of the six departments of my Dayan, the selection of officials, the selection of talents for the country, is extremely important, it is related to the rise and fall of my Dayan, Han Mo is only twenty years old, frivolous and careless, and he is definitely not a suitable candidate. He is young and vigorous, he is not careful, if there is a mistake, the crime is small, if he harms my Dayan, it is a great disaster for the country. ”
When those officials who were not smart saw this scene, their brains were suddenly confused.
It is incredible, but Han Xuanchang, as his father, opposed Han Mo as a minister, which made people even more confused.
Many officials were at a loss.
There are strange things every year, and there are many of them this year.
The emperor's face showed annoyance, and he said coldly: "Han Xuanchang, do you mean that I don't know anyone?" ”
"Don't dare!" Han Xuanchang hurriedly said.
The emperor said lightly: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to say it again!" ”
Hu Xuexin was silent for a moment, and finally figured out the trick, and immediately said: "Qi Shengshang, although Han Mo has made great achievements, but he is still a minister, and he still needs to think twice." Han Mo has never had any experience in serving in the Ministry of Officials, and even if the Holy Lord is loving, he cannot be allowed to directly serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Please also ask the Holy One to take back his ordination! ”
Although many officials didn't understand why Hu Xuexin and Han Xuanchang wanted to stop Han Mo from serving as a minister, as soon as the dragon head came out, the officials in the clan naturally knew that the matter was very important, and dozens of officials had already come out one after another, and said in unison: "I implore the Holy Lord to take back his fate!" ”
……
Han Mo was still a little vague, but Han Xuanchang and Hu Xuexin stepped forward to stop him at the same time, making his heart spin, and in just a moment, he understood the secret.
In a word, the emperor's move is called rising and descending.
It is undeniable that the position of the Ministry of Officials is indeed a first-class official position in the Great Yan Kingdom, how many people dream of it, and the Su family can gain a foothold in the court and become a faction of its own, it is precisely because Su Guanya has controlled the Ministry of Officials for many years, many officials are promoted by him, and he has a strong officialdom network.
If you can control the ministry, it will naturally be something that the Han family can't ask for.
If at this time, any other person in the Han family is selected as the minister, the Han family will naturally be overjoyed and raise their hands in favor.
But this candidate can't be Han Mo.
But what the emperor ordered was Han Mo.
Han Mo is now the commander of the Leopard Battalion and the director of the West Flower Hall, and he also holds the Northwest Talisman, and there is a faint possibility of getting involved in the Northwest Army.
And once Han Mo accepts the position of the minister, he will inevitably be full-time on the errand of the ministry, so the other rights at hand will inevitably be withdrawn.
The officials are still just bait, swallowing this position, they will spit out other official positions.
Naturally, he couldn't take on the position of a minister again, and he could be the commander of the Leopard Battalion, and he would be the director of the West Flower Hall, no one could have such energy, and the emperor could not give such terrifying power.
As long as he accepted the position of minister, then the emperor could justifiably revoke other rights, and it was absolutely reasonable, and no one could refute it.
The prominent official position of the official is certainly a big cake, but if because of this cake, you have to give up the military power in your hands now, it is definitely a matter of rising and descending.
And after the Su family was destroyed, a large number of officials in the Ministry of Officials who were originally controlled by the Su family were involved and executed, and there was a shortage of officials in the Ministry of Officials, and then the emperor would definitely arrange a lot of cronies in it, just hanging the title of the Ministry of Officials, but they may not be able to really have that kind of authority, even if they control it with their hearts, without three or five years of cultivating henchmen to eradicate dissidents, it will never be possible to really control the Ministry of Officials.
The emperor took out this big cake as bait, wanting to rise and fall secretly, but in fact, this cake was coated with deadly poison.
The Han family is now prosperous, of course, because the competitors in the court have fallen one by one, but the most fundamental reason is because Han Mo has military power in his hands.
Without the barrel of a gun, all the prominent official positions are just illusory.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no matter when, the barrel of the gun is the real strength!
Although many ministers failed to see the emperor's deceitful thoughts, the family giants who had dominated the officialdom for many years quickly understood the secret.
Han Xuanchang knew very well what the military power in Han Mo's hands meant to the Han family, how could he let the emperor's conspiracy to ascend and surrender succeed? So no matter what, he can't let his son swallow this big cake with poison.
