The matter of gunpowder was only briefly mentioned in the court, and the specific details would certainly not be revealed in front of the ministers.
The Zhuying Prison was just established without asking for details.
The ministers were not surprised, especially Lao Ba. After all, when Han You took over the Yi Dao Guard, he was led by a dead eunuch and an idle man. He wanted money but no one, and he only had a sense of mystery.
Regarding the East China Sea matter, we have finished discussing the general direction and it is not convenient to discuss it in detail.
Regarding gunpowder, I can briefly explain it. It is also inconvenient to discuss it in detail.
Han You went to work again: "Your Majesty, I am old...My wife is old...No, my child is old..."
After a pause, Han You was confused. He suddenly forgot that he had never seen any official take the initiative to resign, and he didn't know how to say it. He could only turn to look at Huang Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
Huang Youwei's face was as normal as he came out of work and stood up to look at Lao Ba on the dragon chair.
"I believe that since Commander Han Youhan has to prepare for the execution of the Ying prison, it is inevitable that he will not be able to do anything at all. The position of commander of the Yi Dao Guard should be ordered to select virtuous people."
What is tacit understanding? This is that when Han You farts, Big Boss Huang knows what this kid had for breakfast without having to smell it.
You must know that Han You told his friends yesterday that he was resigning from his position. Only the internal staff of Four Seasons Villa knew about it, not Big Boss Huang.
But they are all smart people. It can be seen from the reactions of the ministers that Han You wants to destroy the Japanese thieves now. He must go to the East China Sea to change the local government, clean up the aristocratic families, and reorganize the navy. It only takes three years to do these things. It would take five years to finish the job, not only because of the long time, but also because of other factors, and it was not appropriate to hold the official position of the commander of the Yi Dao Guard.
Lao Ba is not surprised. He has always been like this. He will not block or dominate anything Han You wants to do, he will only support it. If he doesn't understand, he will try to understand. If he can't understand, then Let Han You do it. When Han You is done, he feels that he will understand.
"good."
When he said "good", Lao Ba's tone was full of inexplicable color.
The emperor's personal army is the eyes and ears of the palace, and it is also the only "private army" loyal to the emperor. This relationship is two-way.
The power of the emperor's personal army comes from the palace, and the palace must be responsible for the emperor's personal army. If Han You gets into trouble, the palace must wipe his ass. This is a consensus.
Now that Han You is leaving the Emperor's personal army, even though it is only in name, Lao Ba will inevitably have some complicated emotions in his heart.
Nowadays, Han You no longer needs the emperor to protect him, and even Han You has to protect the emperor in many cases, but Zhou Ke still feels quite disappointed. He has a sense of loss that his younger brother will leave his wings and fly solo when he grows up.
Lao Ba was not ready, not at all ready. According to his idea, when Han You left the emperor's army, he, Zhou Ke, would give Han You a big surprise.
"That's fine." The emperor nodded: "Then Han Aiqing should relinquish the post of commander, get Kong into the palace, and recommend a virtuous person to me to temporarily command the Yi Dao Guard."
It was "temporary unification", and the ministers heard this word very keenly, and everyone understood it tacitly, so they were not surprised.
Just as Han You was about to salute and return to the class, an old man suddenly walked out.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the emperor's position as commander of the ceremonial sword guards is no small matter, so I should..."
The old minister's name is Sun Lianxi, who is the minister of Dali Temple.
Sun Lianxi first glanced at Han You's face, then carefully looked at Lao Ba's expression, and then bravely said: "This should be discussed in court."
Lao Ba's face looked ugly.
My emperor's personal army is discussing something in the court.
Han You also raised his eyebrows slightly, alarm bells blaring in his head, suspecting that this old bastard wanted to "seize power."
"If you ask who among the people in the court knows the most about Yi Dao Guard, it must be Han Aiqing."
Lao Ba said in a deep voice: "Han Aiqing just recommends it, no need to discuss it further."
Another minister came out, Zhu Xingsheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who had just taken office.
Zhu Xingsheng also looked at Han You's face first, and then said slowly: "Although the Yidao Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers and are not under the jurisdiction of the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples, they have the right to act expediently and should discuss it in the court. "
Before Lao Ba could speak, Sun Shouting, the Minister of Household Affairs, also came out: "Old minister seconded the proposal."
This time Han You couldn't stand any longer. He looked at Sun Shouting, who had his head lowered, and felt a thump in his heart.
Sun Shouting is not an ordinary person. Although he is not a big boss in the three provinces, he is in charge of the money and food of the country and has a very powerful voice.
Immediately afterwards, more and more courtiers stood up.
Some Han You knew him, and some he didn't.
Some have a good relationship with Han You, some are not even acquaintances, and there are still many who usually dislike Han You and dare not say anything in anger.
Seeing so many courtiers standing up, Han You's face turned very ugly.
Now he no longer cares about why some of the ministers who are good friends with him stabbed him in the back, he only thinks about whether to step down as the leader of the Yi Dao Guard for the time being.
You must know that his trip to the East China Sea took an unknown amount of time. His basic plan is still in Beijing. If his hometown is "stolen", everything will be lost. Four Seasons Villa, Yidaowei, Yidaoying, Four Seasons School, Gymnasium, Yongcheng , and some affairs in Nanguan are all covered by the Yidao Guards. If the leader of the Yidao Guards is not one of his own, everything he strives for, and everything his friends strive for, will most likely be used as a wedding dress for others.
The old man on the dragon chair also had a face as deep as water.
When the courtiers want to influence the selection of the commander of the Yidao Guards, he is not angry, nor will he be angry, because he knows what kind of people his subordinates are.
What made him angry was that among the people who came forward, many of them had good relations with Han You on weekdays, and there were also a few who had close personal relationships.
Han You's complexion has returned to normal, and he is just trying to show off his skills. If it doesn't work, he should not step down as the commander of the Yi Dao Guard for the time being, and first kill these idiots who want to interfere.
"Master Sun, right?"
Han You showed his signature smile and looked at Sun Lianxi, the minister of Dali Temple: "Then, Master Sun, who do you think is qualified to be the leader of the Yi Dao Guard?"
"this…"
Sun Lianxi laughed sarcastically: "I thought... I thought that Mr. Beimen, the manager of the villa, would be fine."
Han You's expression changed drastically.
Could it be that the little fat man was secretly bribed? !
Han You's expression changed again and again, "It's impossible, we are all really relatives."
Without waiting for Han You to slow down, the Ministry of Industry Shang Shu Zhu Xingsheng shook his head again and again: "No, the northern gate is the big and small affairs of the mountain villa, and the villa is in charge of the gymnasium, the four seasons school, and the Changyuan road. I don’t know what’s going on in the army, so I thought Jiang Zhui would be the one to take charge.”
Han You's pupils shrank suddenly, and even Jiang Zhui...
"I think it's inappropriate."
Sun Shouting said loudly: "Master Zhu doesn't know something. Jiang Zhui knows that what happened in the army is true, but he is extremely loyal to Han You and never leaves him. Such a loyal and brave man should go to the East China Sea with Commander Han. The East China Sea is full of dangers. Jiang Zhui is here." The more powerful soldiers of this kind, the better.”
"Too."
Zhu Xingsheng nodded, and then his eyes lit up: "How about Lu Baichuan? That Lu Baichuan was the previous commander of the Yida Guards."
"Lu Baichuan is just like Jiang Zhui."
The person who spoke was an old minister whom Han You didn't know at all, waving his hands repeatedly: "On weekdays, they are always close to Commander Han. They are both fierce soldiers in the army. If Commander Han encounters a crisis, these two people will protect each other with their lives. A strong man, Commander Han is weak in body and bones, so he should bring more powerful soldiers."
"What Mr. Boss said makes sense, what about Tang Jing?"
A military general who looked like a civil servant expressed his opinion: "Tang Jing and Commander Han have known each other very early, and their qualifications and seniority are more than enough. Although he is indifferent and not an all-rounded person, he is also a thoughtful person and manages the four seasons. There has never been anything wrong since the academy, and it is his duty to be a human being, how about he take over the sword guard?"
"Young Master Tang is no exception. The Four Seasons School is also a top priority."
Qian Ji, who cared most about education, walked over and said, "I think Zhu Shang can be the manager of the villa. He was born in the military, he is loyal, and he has an excellent reputation in the villa. It is very appropriate for him to run errands. "
Zhao Tai rarely refuted Qian Ji: "Well, Manager Zhu is good, but he is now responsible for the money and food of Changyuan Official Road. The materials, money, food, civilians, and even the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in the capital all depend on him. Today, Although the position of commander of the Yi Dao Guard is discussed, it is better to be called the chief steward of Four Seasons Villa. Manager Zhu is already too busy to add a new position, so he should choose someone who is thoughtful and considerate."
The newly appointed Ordnance Supervisor in Central Beijing said sternly: "I have a candidate for the lower official. This person is thoughtful and has the prestige of the villa. The most rare thing is that he will surely convince the public."
"What Li Jianzheng said is..."
"That is of course Mr. Hai from Four Seasons Villa...no, County Uncle Wang Haiwang."
"It's necessary." Zhao Tai waved his hands repeatedly: "Xiao Hai... County Uncle Wang is now the county uncle. He should accompany Commander Han to the East China Sea."
"Speaking of thoughtfulness..."
Qian Ji spoke again, with a bit of hesitation on his face: "I know someone, but his identity is inappropriate."
All the ministers looked at Qian Ji.
Lao Qian said: "I wonder if you all know Yu Qi, the manager of the Villa?"
"That's what I know."
The right minister of the Ministry of War, Guo Tongwei, spoke up and said: "This person is a female prostitute, and she can definitely be called a heroine. Last year at the end of the year, 6,000 disaster victims came to Beijing. After this woman took the villagers to accept them, it only took three days to resettle the victims." The young and strong have jobs, the old and the weak, women and children live in the gymnasium with no worries about food and clothing, the young go to the Four Seasons School or work as apprentices in the workshops, when the three ministries of etiquette, household and work come up with regulations , Yuqi has arranged more than 6,000 people."
"Yes, I know this."
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites stroked his beard and smiled: "All the officials in the Ministry of Rites admire her. This woman can take on important responsibilities."
"If we talk about scheduling, do Master Ji, Master Ji, know about it?"
"Knowing, knowing, knowing, like thunder piercing the ears, the best at creating things is the best craftsman in the world..."
"I heard that there are still many construction projects at Four Seasons Villa that require the supervision of General Ji. What about Qi Tong? This person is a young hero. Although he is young, he is already a lord. He even considers himself to be Commander Han's disciple. How about..."
"There is another person. Your Excellencies may accidentally know that although this person is not in the Yidao Guards, he is also a person that Han You trusts very much. He is Zhang Zhuo, the commander of the guards of Prince You's Mansion. At the beginning, there were not many Yidao Guards. , the guards of Prince You's Mansion all obeyed Commander Han's orders, and they actually did a lot of errands. Zhang Zhuo won Commander Han's trust and entrusted many important tasks..."
"I would like to recommend a person who has both civil and military talents. You Mingtang, the magistrate of Yongcheng, as you all know, Yongcheng has also built a Four Seasons Villa, and the tax money has been reported. It is jaw-dropping. He can mobilize the whole city. The common people built a Four Seasons Villa, and they thought they would be able to serve as the commander of the Yi Dao Guard. The most rare thing is that Mr. Youmingtang You is highly appreciated by Commander Han. You must know that Commander Han delayed his return to Beijing a few days ago because of this person. …”
"No, Yongcheng is connected in all directions and is close to Changyuan. I have already heard the news in Four Seasons Villa. The official road from Changyuan will be built to Yongcheng. This magistrate cannot leave for the time being..."
"When talking about the road construction at Changyuan, I can't help but think of Chen Yu'an, one of Commander Han's favorite disciples. He has the talent of number one scholar. He was a classmate with Commander Han when he was still teaching in the Imperial College. This son said that he I was taught many skills by Commander Han..."
"Master Yu was joking, how could Quanzi He Dehe take on such a big responsibility? But to say that he is Commander Han's most proud disciple is true, hahahaha. When the Four Seasons Villa was built not long ago, Quanzi also played an important role. Yes, the rumors are true, Commander Han attaches great importance to Quanzi, and even personally told all the masters to teach Quanzi knowledge..."
"Hahahaha, you adults only know Commander Han's confidants in Beijing, but you don't know that there are good generals in Nanguan. Many military reports of our Ministry of War have mentioned one person. This person is called Yi Junyi, and he is the chief general of the Nanguan Xiaoqi Battalion. He was also Having served as General Han's personal attendant, the men and horses that Commander Han brought with him when he came out of the customs were the Xiaoqi camp. This general is proficient in military formations, brave and resourceful, but secondarily. It is worth mentioning that when Commander Han was in Nanguan, General Yi could say He has never left his side, and he has gained the true inheritance of the Han family. He is young and promising, so why not transfer him back to the capital..."
"My staff is aware of this matter, but General Wu, you said that Yi Junyi is young and promising... General Yi is approaching his forties, right?"
"That's nonsense. In the military newspaper, Junyi in uniform calls himself Commander Han's cousin. We only talk about seniority, regardless of age..."
"Regardless of age and status, His Highness Prince You is known to the world as Commander Han's direct disciple. He is the closest and the most..."
"The daughter of the Han family is even younger and is still in her infancy..."
"It's not impossible. Princess Caiyang is the daughter of the Han family, so she can convince everyone, but she hasn't learned the language yet..."
"That's not as good as his mother, Mrs. Han..."
"I think the third lady is pretty good. The Sikong family controls many foreign races outside the customs..."
In the court, almost all officials participated.
Those who are familiar with Han You and those who are not familiar with them, when it comes to the friends around Han You, they are all treasures.
"No, you wait a moment."
Han You, whose face was full of confusion, shouted: "I, the current commander of the Yidao Guards, should be chosen as the leader of the Yidao Guards..."
The ministers turned around, glanced slightly, and gave him a look that meant --- I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!
Let alone Han You, the emperor on the dragon throne was confused.
The hall was filled with heated discussions. The discussion turned into an argument, and the argument almost turned into a quarrel. Everyone was expressing their opinions and mentioning Han You's friends and the "deeds" of these friends. Even Han You was confused when he heard this. Is this still happening?
Normally speaking, the choice of leader of the Yidao Guard is a "household matter in the palace". Normally, it is Lao Ba and Han You who discuss it themselves.
However, the courtiers are not allowed to discuss it. Such major matters must be discussed in the court, and all ministers and important ministers must participate.
You must know that last year when the leaders of the three provinces were selected, the court was not so "intense".
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Yidaowei is no longer just a personal soldier of the emperor, nor is it an office specifically responsible for running errands in the palace. It involves too many things related to the court, the country, and the people.
It can be said that except for the emperor's affairs, the Yi Dao Guard can take care of everything and handle it.
There is nothing that Yi Daowei has not been involved in: quelling chaos, relieving victims, providing money and food, going out to fight, education issues, military matters, people's affairs, and diplomacy.
Yidaowei and Four Seasons Villa are actually a whole, and Four Seasons Villa involves all aspects. In addition to money and food issues, weapons, construction, commerce, laws, etc. are all extremely important to the country.
So just imagine, if the commander of the Yi Dao Guard who is in charge of and participates in these important matters is an "outsider", a person that Han You does not trust, a person that Han You's group does not trust, or even a person who dares to speak against Han You , what will be the result?
The result is that everything that has been completed and is in progress will go wrong. No minister can dare to say that he can bear the consequences.
Everyone has figured it out a long time ago. The "industry" created by Han You is too big. No official, no, no aristocratic family dares to say that he can eat it. Let alone eat it. Just think about it. Once someone comes up. If there are any signs of it, it will be eaten alive by countless people without the palace taking action. These people are all related to interests, such as the Zhao family.
Since it cannot be eaten, no one dares to eat it, and it is beneficial to the country, what everyone hopes more is to take good care of it and protect it so that nothing goes wrong while Han You is away.
Therefore, the selection of the commander of the Yidao Guard is not a private matter between the palace and Han You at all, but a major matter for the country and the dynasty, a matter that must be carefully considered!
To say that all the friends around Han You are both civil and military, with both political integrity and talent, it is not necessarily true that these courtiers are considering other issues. You must know that even Yuqi has been brought up. For a woman to be a "military officer", the court officials No one in the hall laughed out loud, and there was nothing unusual. What does this mean? It means that everyone's priority is the issue of "trust". Whether they listen to Han You and whether they can implement Han You's decision in an orderly manner is the most important thing. .
When Ma Rufeng and Zhou Tianfeng sent assassins to Four Seasons Villa, Yuqi was captured first. Yuqi was almost beaten to death and seriously injured, but she did not betray Han You even if she died.
Many people know this.
So someone mentioned Yu Qi's name, so no one laughed, and no one thought there was anything wrong with having a woman serve as the commander of the emperor's personal army.
Because everyone is considering "candidates" and they must be "loyal." As long as Han You controls the sword guard completely according to Han You's will, let alone a woman, even a pig will be fine.
We don't need Yidaowei to perform any feats or achievements, we just need to stay within Han You's control.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Wen Wu bent over with a strange look on his face: "About the selection of Yidao Guards..."
"Let them discuss it."
Lao Ba smiled slightly, and he understood what the courtier was thinking.
Lao Ba is happy to hear about this.
"I don't care who serves as the commander of the Yi Dao Guard. I only care that this person is loyal to Han You."
Mr. Suan was extremely speechless.
Bage, do you have any misunderstanding? Yidaowei is the emperor's personal army, not Han You's personal army.
"Wenwu." Lao Ba turned his head and asked with a smile: "Who do you think is qualified?"
Wenwu was startled: "Your Majesty, you don't want to reinstate the old slave officer, do you?"
Lao Ba looked disdainful: "Are you worthy?"
Wenwu breathed a huge sigh of relief, feeling relieved. I have more than enough to take care of your harem, Yidaowei... let's forget it, this government office is too evil.
When the imperial court was over, if there were any major issues that had not been resolved, such as money and food, laws, resettlement of the people, construction matters, etc., Lao Ba himself sat in the Jingzhi Palace with his brows furrowed.
Later, when the court was over, there was something major that had not been resolved. Lao Ba frowned for a while, thinking to himself whether he should send someone to ask Han You.
Now, when going to court, if there is any major unresolved issue, Lao Ba no longer has to frown. Instead, the ministers frown and whisper to each other whether they want to ask Han You for his stupidity.
Seeing that the court was about to end, everyone still had no discussion.
Finally, Qian Ji waved his hand to silence everyone, and suggested that Lao Ba give them one day, and when the government goes to court tomorrow, each government office will come up with a "charter" for the friends around Han You!
