Han You successfully entered the Household Department, but he entered from behind and entered through the back door.
The one who took leave of absence from the classroom was Qi Jiatai, the supervisor. He was humming a tune and drinking tea, with his legs crossed and the window open. It was extremely comfortable.
The officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who came and went walked around, as if Han You would be infected with athlete's foot.
The news of Young Master Han's angry remarks against Zhang Tongju also spread throughout the household department in just a quarter of an hour.
Everyone understands that the only one who can cure Han You is Shangshu Sun Shouting. After all, the emperor's personal army commander who the boss just sprayed didn't even dare to fart.
At the same time, Zhang Tongju, who had suffered great humiliation and humiliation, was in the class room with eyes split open.
"Child Han You!"
Zhang Tongju, who came from a wealthy family, clenched his fists tightly: "I will repay today's humiliation!"
Looking at Zhang Tongju who was fierce but did not dare to speak too loudly, Hua Qiong, a member of the foreign council, secretly sighed: "My lord, please bear with the calm for a while. Han You is the emperor's personal commander in any case. He will wait until there is a charter for the commercial tax reform." If you know how to leave, why create extra problems."
"My bastard words are seen and heard by many of my colleagues. Why don't I lose my dignity?"
"Having said that, it's just that the official is worried about something... maybe there is something hidden."
"what for?"
Hua Qiong lowered her voice: "Sir, could it be that the border army's food and salary matter came to light..."
"Absolutely not."
Zhang Tongju said with great certainty: "If Han You's son came here because of this incident, and he turned against me when he first came, wouldn't such recklessness be enough to scare the snake away?"
Hua Qiong thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
If Han You came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to investigate this matter, he should be a smiling tiger. The best strategy would be to make friends with many officials and slowly integrate into him.
"But if this kid really wants to investigate this matter one day, he will definitely go to the Northland himself..."
Having said this, Zhang Tongju smiled ferociously: "If he goes to the north, I will make sure his corpse is gone."
"grown ups!"
Hua Qiong was shocked and turned pale: "Don't touch him."
"Why, you're scared."
Zhang Tongju stared at Hua Qiong: "Jiang Yunhai, the governor of Yuncheng, can kill him, so why can't he kill him?"
Jiang Yunhai, the magistrate of Yuncheng, about two months ago, as the highest official of the state, left quietly without saying hello to anyone. As a result, he went to the official road and just arrived at Heimu Mountain in Jiuxian County, and he and his party All seventeen people died, and no one survived.
Han You also knew about this matter. The local general Zhe Chongfu reported it to Boss Zhou's desk. At that time, Boss Zhou asked Lu Baichuan to hand over the ID card of Yidaowei to Han You and asked him to get money to assassinate the Emperor's personal army. stand up.
It's just that at that time, neither Boss Zhou nor Lu Baichuan knew that this matter was related to the Ministry of Household officials' embezzlement of food and salary for the border troops.
In fact, Jiang Yunhai wanted to secretly enter Beijing for this matter. He went to the palace to expose the conspiracy between the Beidi family and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang, who had always been a breeze in office, leaked the news after all. He was assassinated before leaving Beidi Sandao. The person who silenced him was none other than Yuanwai Lang Hua, who went to Xia County to audit the accounts more than a month ago. Joan.
"Jiang Yunhai is Jiang Yunhai, and Han You is Han You. They cannot be confused."
Hua Qiong, who used to have a very low posture in front of Zhang Tongju, stared at Zhang Tongju and said word by word: "Han You, can't move."
"So what if the emperor's own army comes to the north? Just kill the people and silence them, destroy the corpses and eliminate all traces."
"It's not because of his status as the leader of the Yi Dao Guard, but because of his father."
"His father?"
Zhang Tongju sneered again and again: "That mad dog-like Han Bairen now neither leads an army nor has any real power. What is there to be afraid of? Is it possible that we are afraid that he will not be able to kill everyone like he did when he entered the city to seize the palace that night? That's all he was in the army back then. , Now he is just a governor, what kind of trouble can a group of servants and government servants under him make."
Hua Qiong looked like he was hesitating to speak. After hesitating again and again, he finally spoke.
"Your Excellency, you don't know something. General Han must not be provoked. General Han has been to every branch of the world, including Bingbei Mansion, Zhechong Mansion, and even the North and South Passes. Except for Donghai, General Han has been to almost all of them."
Zhang Tongju didn't know why: "Why are you bringing up old things? Also, how come he has been to so many places and was ostracized by his family and transferred constantly like His Majesty did back then?"
"That's not true. More than twenty years ago, General Han was the captain of Zhaowu. The former captain of Zhaowu served as a military officer."
"Military integrity?" Zhang Tongju became more and more confused as he listened: "The duty of training soldiers?"
"Yes, he has been in charge of the army for eight years. General Han has traveled to almost every military camp in the country, including the North and South Passes. I don't know how many generals in the army have received his favor."
"It's a joke. Although I am a civil servant, I also know that Captain Zhaowu is only a mere sixth grade. Not to mention the commanders of the battalions at the North and South Passes, and even the generals of Zhechong Mansion, are a little higher than him in official positions. How can I receive any favors from him? , even if the army is training troops, they are only training soldiers and so on, what has it to do with the generals."
Hua Qiong stood up and closed the window, then sat back down, moved the stool and sat in front of Zhang Tongju.
"Your Excellency also knows that Xianguan once took charge of the army in Zhechong Mansion in Beidi. Because he had to go out with the army, he also spent some time in the Sixth Battalion of the Border Army. It was at that time that I heard some generals and old soldiers talking about it. General Han, at that time, I thought it was just a rumor."
"What rumors?"
"Although General Han was a military commander back then, he did not go to military camps to train troops."
"Then what did he do?"
"Trainer!"
Zhang Tong raised a bold and enlarged question mark on his head: "What does training as a general mean?"
"Teaching the art of war." Hua Qiong's eyes were a bit incomprehensible: "According to rumors, General Han has a very weird temperament. When he is in the camp, he just sleeps or drinks every day. When he is in a good mood, he will train him and train the soldiers. General means teaching the art of war. As you know, sir, most of the generals in the army are from the military, and there are very few sons of generals. The art of war taught by General Han, no, is the art of war. The art of war taught by General Han is... "
"Then what?"
"The Art of War has three chapters, "Using Generals", "Using Land" and "Usage"."
"What kind of military art is this? I have never heard of it. Could it be that Han Bairen is a famous scholar but his family background is not good? But I heard that Han Bairen is the son of a farmer and has an ordinary background."
"That's true, but there must be other reasons. General Han is indeed a queen from a famous family."
"After whom?"
"Han Xin!"
"The three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin?" Zhang Tongju opened his mouth wide, shocked to the extreme: "Han Bairen is a descendant of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin in the early Han Dynasty?!"
Hua Qiong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At first, when my subordinates heard about this incident in the border army, they made it a joke. But when the commanders of each battalion called Han Bairen, they would always call him General Han. General Han, even the most arrogant generals, I am also proud to have drank or talked with General Han..."
Speaking of this, Hua Qiong lowered his voice again: "Don't you find it strange, sir? When General Han entered the city to seize the palace, he led his troops from Pingyang County. Along the way, he passed through Zhechong Mansion, Bingbei Mansion, and Tunbingwei. , there are a total of thirty-one large and small military camps. How could he come to the center of the capital unimpeded? Moreover, I heard some Nanguan Army commander Pao Ze said that General Han only left the camp with 500 people at that time, but he left the camp without any hindrance. When the camp reached the capital, it turned out to be thousands of people."
After a pause, Hua Qiong continued: "If that's all, that's it. On the night of seizing the palace, half of General Han's men left the palace and beat the Sixth Battalion of Jingwei to the ground. They are all skilled archers and horses, many of whom are over fifty years old. Many of those ordinary troops are generals who are responsible for their own duties. Which one is not well-organized, and which one is not the most courageous person in the three armies. But after His Majesty enters the capital, Han The general's men left on the pretext of guarding the city gate, and most of the thousands of men disappeared, and it was said that they died in battle."
Zhang Tongju took a breath of cold air: "Han Bai... Mr. Han had not only military tigers but also many captains under his command back then, pretending to be captains in the ordinary army?"
"No, not the captain."
Zhang Tongju breathed a sigh of relief. If they were all school captains, it would be too exaggerated. They would use the school captains as soldiers.
"Of course not the captain." Hua Qiong added: "But the general. There should be some generals who are in charge of troops in each battalion, but they are all pretending to be ordinary soldiers."
Zhang Tongju grinned and felt chills all over his body.
If this matter is true, Han Bairen and the rebels came all the way, passed by so many military camps, and the generals and captains of the commanding army followed them into the capital without hesitation, which is enough to explain a lot of things.
So if Zhang Tongju kills Han You, with Han Bairen's prestige and connections in the army...
Zhang Tongju didn't dare to think about it anymore, his scalp was numb just thinking about it.
Pretending to be a bandit in the North and killing a few people didn't matter. Han Bairen went to Beijing to kill people in the name of King Qin!
Zhang Tongju subconsciously shouted: "Then he is even more powerful than your Majesty was in the army back then..."
"It's different." Hua Qiong's face was complicated: "When General Han was serving as military commander, His Majesty had just emerged in the army, and General Han taught the art of war without any intention of repaying the favor."
