As the New Year is approaching, there is no "New Year flavor" in the court, but instead there is blood, swords, and swords.
After the emperor on the dragon throne announced the three-province system, the six ministers unanimously agreed and implemented it without giving any courtiers a chance to react.
Then the next step is to choose the person who is in charge of the three provinces. The Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling, who has the most nominal power, the subordinate provincial minister who has veto power, and the Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling, who can only execute, who will be chosen? No one can be sure.
Before the emperor said who was in charge of these three government offices, the people below had already been killed inextricably, and among them, Zhao Tainong made the biggest move.
Zhao Tai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, brought down so many people one after another, and even now some people still think that this guy was the last act of madness before becoming the Minister.
Han You paid attention to the movements of the court in Four Seasons Villa every day, and suddenly realized that not all the people in the court were smart, at least many of them had poor understanding.
In fact, the emperor has already sent out some signals. If the emperor had not secretly acquiesced, would Zhao Tai dare to strike with a butcher's knife? Since the emperor acquiesced, Zhao Tai was probably not qualified for the post of minister.
This also reminded Han You of one of his junior high school classmates in the last life. He didn't know if he had a cold or something, but his throat hurt. Then he went to the community clinic to see a doctor. The doctor said that he could just smoke less, and then , this junior high school classmate went to the supermarket after leaving the clinic and bought the first pack of cigarettes in his life.
The Emperor revealed that it was true that Zhao Tai would not continue to serve as the Minister of Civil Affairs, but he did not say that Atai would be the Minister.
Han You sat in the villa and watched the clouds roll and relax, waiting patiently for the Ministry of Punishment to write a memorial on the "Gong Law" and present it in the Taiqian Hall.
Seeing that the New Year's Eve was coming in ten days, Han You had eaten at noon and was thinking about whether to change clothes and go to the Ministry of Justice to urge him. Zhu Shang came and said that there was an important guest outside the villa. He didn't know how expensive he was. The carriage is inlaid with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the people inside are also showing their heads. The driver is a man, and he looks like he is marching in the army.
Han You rolled his eyes and strolled out to greet him with his hands behind his back.
As a result, before they could call out to His Majesty when they arrived, the car curtain was opened and a burly young man jumped out.
"I have admired Han Xiaoqi for a long time. His reputation has spread to Beiguan. Xiao Wang has admired him for a long time."
Han You's pupils shrank suddenly, and Lu Baichuan behind him was also stunned for a moment, and then knelt down on one knee.
"The last general, Lu Baichuan, has met His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
Han You saluted quickly: "I have met His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
King Zhou Tong of Chu, the second prince, was also the second child after Zhou Ke got married. The eldest prince and the second prince were twins, and the second prince was Zhou Tong.
The ancients married early, raised children and matured early. The second son, Zhou Tong, was seventeen years old. When he was eight years old, he was taken to the military camp to accompany him. He spent almost all his childhood in the military camp, accompanying Zhou Ke on his expeditions in the north and south.
On the eve of the night of seizing the palace, Zhou Ke returned to the capital without any of his heirs. Afterwards, he proclaimed himself emperor and divided his six male heirs into princes in the order of Qi, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin. Half a year after he ascended the throne, he Three other male heirs were canonized, that is, three princes including You Wang Zhou Yan.
There are a total of nine male heirs, all with the title of prince. Only the youngest and most favored Prince You lives in the capital. The other princes have established their own houses in other provinces. There is only one exception, and that is the second oldest, Zhou Tong, who serves in the north. The Shaojian of the Guan Military Weapons Supervision is mainly responsible for supervising the transportation of weapons, grain and grass. He also oversees two military equipment, four auxiliary military battalions and two military guards in Beibianguan.
Zhou Tong's appearance is very similar to Zhou Ke's, but his figure is different. The seventeen-year-old is tall and sturdy, and his height is more than 1.8 meters. This figure is definitely considered "giant" in the Zhou Dynasty.
The originally wide unicorn robe didn't look draggy at all when worn on the body, but instead had a slim fit.
After getting off the carriage, the second prince Chu King Zhou Tong quickly helped Lu Baichuan up and said with a loud smile: "General Lu Fu and this king have known each other for a long time, why are they still so alienated?"
Upon hearing the words "General Lu Fu", Lu Baichuan's eyes flashed with a hint of boredom. Someone in the army had indeed called him that before. Of course, they called him Lu Broom most of the time.
After helping Lu Baichuan up, Zhou Tong focused his eyes on Han You again, showing an expression that made Han You extremely uncomfortable, as if... it seemed like the expression "I admire you very much".
After sizing up Han You, Zhou Tong looked past Han You to the inside of the villa and nodded repeatedly.
"When I was in Beiguan, I heard many merchants mention Han Xiaoqi's deeds. Every few days, I heard something different. Han Xiaoqi is really a restless guy, but I like this temperament, like a warrior, hahahaha , I haven’t been to the capital for many years, and I have been leading the army in the camp all day long. I don’t know much about the affairs in the capital. Before entering the capital and entering the palace, Han Xiaoqi should have a good talk with me."
He spoke to Han Xiaoqi, clearly not knowing anything about the affairs in Beijing. Han You had a smile on his face, but he had some other strange thoughts in his heart.
Zhou Tong walked forward as if he were back in his own back garden, with his hands behind his back. Han You and the three Shajia brothers could only follow behind, half a step behind.
Lu Baichuan asked directly: "Why is His Highness back?"
"It's the end of the year, and I miss my father so much that I want to come back and see him."
"I left the military camp privately. Does Your Majesty know about it?"
Zhou Tong suddenly stopped, turned his head and said with a half-smile: "How come General Lu still has this temper? He used to be in the army, but now his father is the co-owner of the country. If General Lu continues to speak out..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yi looked like he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "No wonder you are not working in the Ministry of War, but hanging out in the Yidao Guard. It seems that my father can't tolerate your foul mouth that brings disaster."
Lu Baichuan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
"It is said that this villa is the most popular place in the capital. I have been tired of traveling all the way, and I am eager to return to the capital to meet my father. I am afraid that I will not be able to visit today, so I just dropped by the villa..."
Han You suddenly interrupted: "Why did His Highness pass through the west of the city when he came back from Beibianguan?"
Zhou Tong laughed loudly and pointed at Han You: "I am the prince. If I want to pass through the west of the city, why not?"
Han You smiled and said nothing.
"Yes, I have indeed come here specifically to find you, Han Xiaoqi."
Zhou Tong stopped laughing: "I, the king, came to ask you for a job."
"Errand?"
"You have to give this job to me." Zhou Tong turned the bright yellow finger on his finger: "The Yidao Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers. How can the person in charge of the Yidao Guards have a foreign surname? Why not Han Xiaoqi quit his job? Just go find another job elsewhere, and I, the king, will ask my father to take over the Yida Guards."
The expressions of all the three murdering brothers changed slightly.
"good!"
Han You also burst out laughing: "That's great. I wonder if Your Highness can wait for a while and write down a resignation letter here. Your Highness can just submit it to Your Majesty after returning to Beijing. Naturally, Your Highness should be the guard of the sword." It is the responsibility of a person who is wise, divine, powerful and decisive in killing."
"Hahahahahaha."
Zhou Tong laughed louder than Han You. He raised his arm and slapped Han You on the shoulder. The more he looked at Han You, the more he felt that this guy was quite pleasing to the eye.
Lu Baichuan also smiled, a bit sinisterly.
