On the night of seizing the palace, the former general of Shangzhu Kingdom died.
Many people thought that it was Zhou Ke or someone sent by the eldest prince. After all, the general of Shangzhu State was a loyalist of the previous dynasty and was loyal to the faint emperor.
In fact, General Shangzhu was killed by Wang Shan himself, because Han You's mother-in-law had asked General Shangzhu of the former dynasty about the payment of food and salary, and was humiliated by General Shangzhu's words, saying that women were such and such. .
Because he scolded his wife, his husband asked his younger brother to kill him.
It doesn't matter how he died. What matters is that in this dynasty, the position of General Shangzhu has been vacant.
If the first-in-command is empty, the second-in-command will take over or be directly promoted.
Boss Zhou didn't think highly of Guan Wen from the beginning, how could he be promoted.
But Guan Wen didn't know. He thought that he had done enough, and he also felt that he was more or less a minister of the dragon. Who knew that after waiting day after day, half a year passed, Zhou Ke not only did not let him be promoted, He also continued to send people to the Beijing camp, and had a vague intention of evading him.
Guan Wen made a quick decision and went back to his hometown in Qiongzhou.
On the surface, he said he was sick and had some physical ailments.
The emperor tried it out, and if his health was not good, he could retire as soon as possible.
Who knows whether it was a coincidence or something else, but there was another problem with the military equipment in Qiongzhou, and Guan Wen had "official duties" to reorganize the military equipment. Anyway, he was delayed and would not come back.
So if according to Han You's idea, Guan Wen is promoted to a high position, and then takes over, and let others replace General Zhu Guo, it will be very maneuverable.
Guan Wen wanted to be the general of the Zhu Kingdom and the nominal leader of the Beijing Guard, but in order to gain real power, the emperor needed to completely trust him.
Then the emperor does not trust him, even if he is appointed as the Shangzhu Kingdom, the people within the Ministry of War, such as the Minister of War, the left and right ministers, etc., will not tolerate him at all, make things difficult for him, trouble him, and make things difficult for him. This Shangzhu Kingdom general will be particularly cowardly. .
As for the Emperor and the Ministry of War, no matter how openly or covertly they supported the newly appointed General Zhu Guo, it would not be difficult to completely sideline Guan Wen.
Boss Zhou's gloomy mood was mostly gone and he smiled.
"From now on, you can visit the palace more frequently. For some reason, I always want to test you to see if you and I are compatible."
Han You was too lazy to say anything.
In fact, it’s not that Boss Zhou has no IQ, it’s that his IQ is not enough. In state affairs, civil affairs, various political affairs, endless memorials, everything needs to be thought about and decisions need to be made. The entire court, especially the civil servants, are used to passing the buck between each other. Boss Zhou’s The brain is not a machine, so it will inevitably get tired.
Han You knows better than anyone that people's energy is really limited, which is why he is always the hands-off shopkeeper.
Many people who have achieved success in a certain field, no matter how talented they are, still need to put in countless sweat.
Some men are talented at playing basketball, some women are talented at designing overalls, and some are talented at singing rap. Anyone who knows what their talent is is lucky. With talent and hard work, you will definitely succeed. success.
There are many people, many losers, whether they are driving screws or moving bricks. In fact, many times it is not because they don’t work hard, but because they are unlucky and don’t know what their talents are.
Zhou Ke was very lucky in the first half of his life. His talent was to lead troops and form an army. After he achieved the ultimate in this profession, he began to cross borders and become an emperor.
Even though Boss Zhou has many advantages, his energy is limited after all.
This is why he likes to listen to other people's advice, whether it's Han You or Lao Qian, Lao Zhou, Lao Sun and other ministers.
Han You was also talking unintentionally. While eating the food, he asked casually: "Who does your Majesty intend to make as the general of this country?"
"your dad."
"your dad!"
"My father exiled me, and my body is gone."
Han You was stunned for a moment: "Oh, are you talking about my father?"
Boss Zhou smiled and said: "Why do you think your father Han Bairen is not qualified?"
Han You scratched the back of his head. He really didn't know his father's situation.
Wenwu smiled and said: "You must know that Mr. Han traveled to various camps, and also went to the North and South Passes. He trained his troops well. A few days ago, your Majesty also asked the Minister of the Ministry of War and the left minister Huang Youwei. Mr. Huang and others, the generals of the Ministry of War When people mention Han Fuyin, they have great admiration for him, especially for the military training. There are so many arrogant generals in the military department who all say they are inferior to him, far inferior."
"Yeah?"
Han You looked at Boss Zhou: "Isn't my father the governor of Jingzhao Mansion? Can he also be the general of Zhuguo?"
"This can't be done. In addition to my palace, there are only Jingzhao Prefecture Yin and Zhuguo General to mobilize the Jingwei. I trust you, the Han family father and son, but there is no precedent for this distinction between civil and military affairs, so I will not let it go. Your father does both."
Boss Zhou smiled slightly: "Don't even say that the governor of Jingzhao Mansion is an offending errand. You have made countless contributions to me, how can you let your father be the governor of Jingzhao Mansion again?"
Han You didn't even bother to complain.
Why are you here so early? When I didn’t debut, the dandies all over the capital were walking around. You didn’t transfer my father’s job. Now that I’ve made his debut, it’s my dad’s turn to walk around the capital and you’re just asking for a transfer?
However, it can also be seen from this that Boss Zhou has trust in the father and son of the Han family. One is the emperor's personal soldier, and the other wants to be entrusted with the important task of being the general of the Zhu Kingdom. The former is the emperor's most trusted confidant, and the latter controls the people who guard the capital. Jingying.
"Wait a minute."
Han You suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty, did you make my father the general of the Zhu Kingdom because you thought my father had this ability, or was it a disguised reward for me?"
Boss Zhou also smiled: "You are really smart. Not only do you think Han Bairen is qualified for this position, but you are also showing favor to you, Han You."
You must know that since Han You embraced the boss last week, not only was he not promoted, but he was demoted.
The starting point was quite high at the beginning, but in the end he was just a polished commander, and below him was Lu Baichuan. This was really not an easy job as the commander of the Yidao Guards, and he had to pay extra.
After that, it was difficult to support this stall, and Han You was demoted to the rank of captain.
Later, Han You also made many contributions, but Boss Zhou never mentioned rewards.
Han You didn't mention it, but he didn't think about it. Lao Ba is not good as a boss. Give him an official position. Han You came from the Yidao Guards. Give him money. He has to borrow money from Han You before he can reward Han You. Bless money.
Generally speaking, when encountering such ministers, the emperor can also start with relatives in order to win people's hearts.
But although Han Bairen has no real power, he is a serious third-grade person. If he is promoted, even to a first and a half level, he will be from the second grade. There are no people from the second grade in this dynasty, but there were some in the previous dynasty. They are all relatives of the emperor. Let Boss Zhou and the former eldest prince catch them all. Moreover, once Han Bairen becomes the second rank, the elders such as Zhao Tai, Sun Shouting and Qian Ji will have to treat Han Bairen respectfully. It's not appropriate to call me "Sir".
After thinking about it, Zhou Ke heard that Han Bailiang's soldiers were really powerful, so he thought about how Guan Wen could use his place and let Lao Han adjust his position and return to his old line of work to continue leading the army.
"I haven't even written my horoscope yet."
Han You looked indifferent: "Let's finish it for Guan Wen first."
"Yeah, come on, have a drink."
"One more thing." Han You raised the wine glass: "I want to tease Zhao Tai, is that okay?"
There was no strange look on Boss Zhou's face, and he said calmly: "First, we can't delay his appointment as a provincial servant, and second, we can't hurt him by seeing blood."
Han You was surprised: "I thought you wouldn't agree."
"I don't agree, will you listen?" Boss Zhou snorted in a moderate tone: "What I value is your righteous character. I will hurt you like a brother and sister, so I have to say something." It’s the evil spirit.”
Han You toasted repeatedly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Boss Zhou laughed.
Wen Wu glanced sideways at Han You, this guy was still too young.
Why did the emperor delay telling the outside world that he wanted to promote Zhao Tairong? It was just to let the Zhao family, certain ministers, and certain aristocratic families find trouble with him. Once the three-province system was announced, Zhao Tai could go all out and take revenge. If you have a complaint, you can justifiably clean up the court with blood for the emperor.
If Han You touches Zhao Tai, no matter it is serious or minor, even if it is insignificant, it will send a signal to the outside world, thinking that this is the emperor's instruction, then more courtiers and aristocratic families will be ready to beat up the fallen dog.
The more people who provoke Zhao Tai, the more people Zhao Tai can deal with after he comes forward. The more people he can deal with, the more fresh blood Boss Zhou can bring to the court.
Unlike the monarch and his minister, the two of them drank wine and chatted casually, talking about whatever they thought of, and expressing their own opinions and opinions.
Unknowingly, the emperor had already regarded Han You as his right-hand man. He asked Han You's opinion without hesitation on major matters in the court and political affairs of the country.
Han You also did not expect at all that he could already display some of his ambitions and ideals.
