To say that everyone in the capital likes Han You and wants this kid to come back safely is definitely not the case.
Not to mention the whole capital, even many people in the court wished that Han You died on Yingdao.
However, the general environment is like this. Han You knows the gunpowder formula. Based on this fact alone, no one dares to say that they don't want him to come back, at least on the surface.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were cooperating with Lao Ba's play. The emperor did not go to court, so the ministers could only send some representatives to hold a small meeting. Even Han You's favorite young prince Zhou Yan remained silent for the first time and did not send anyone to ventilate the atmosphere. Report the news.
It is worth mentioning that Han You's reputation has begun to "counterattack". Not everyone has the courage to lead a troop to Yingdao to fight alone.
The emperor has not gone to court for half a month, and no letter has come back from the East China Sea. Some people have begun to see the joke, thinking that the old man is going to make a fool of himself. Maybe Han You doesn't "love him" that much at all, and the whole court is doing it. It's been two months, and Han You still hasn't come back.
Lao Ba is also getting more and more haggard day by day, really haggard.
He knew that Han You "loved him" and since he hadn't come back yet, there was only one possibility.
The more he thought about it, the more haggard he became, the less he wanted to eat and drink, and he lost a few tenths of a pound of weight.
Seeing that it was almost the end of the year, Lao Ba finally put on his dragon robe, and Chenshi walked into the Taiqian Hall a moment early. His figure was still haggard, as if he was really seriously ill.
Hundreds of officials entered the palace with whips fired, and civil and military officials opened the court. The Taiqian Palace was eerily quiet, and many ministers sighed.
For the first time in history, it was almost a stick of incense at the beginning of the court, but no one stood up to make a move.
Lao Ba, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also in a daze as if his soul was wandering in the sky.
"His Majesty."
Wen Wu bent down and said softly: "The court has begun."
Lao Ba's pupils were still dilated and he murmured: "You still don't believe me."
Wen Wu opened his mouth, but remained silent.
Previously, Eunuch Suan had someone notify Zhechong Mansion in Youzhou, and he would immediately come to Beijing to report once Han You came back.
Everyone also knows Han You's style. He usually travels in a carriage, and even riding a horse is just for show. If he really comes back, Youzhou can inform Beijing at least two to four days in advance.
"Father."
Someone finally broke the silence, and a tough-looking young man came out of work and stood up.
"My son is willing to go to the East China Sea day and night. If there is no news from Master Han, I will take a boat across the sea to Yingdao."
The one who spoke was the fourth prince Zhou Yan, who was dressed in the Qilin Mansion. At the age of seventeen, he was tall and tall, more than a head taller than the average person.
"My son is willing to go with my royal brother."
Another prince stood up. The chubby seventh prince, Zhou Ning, was in the process of changing his voice: "I am also willing to go to the East China Sea to find Master Han. If I can't find him, I will never come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the twin brothers Lao Wu and Lao Liu also stood up without saying a word. Their meaning was very clear. They were both willing to go, sincerely.
The title "Master Han" is also Han You's latest title. In addition to Zhu Ying and the three weapons supervisors of the East China Sea, after learning that Han You went to Yingdao in person, Qian Ji, Zhao Tai, and Zhou Zhenghuai, the bosses of the three provinces, jointly signed Shangshu asked Han You to be granted the title of Prince's Young Master.
This is a very strange thing. The queen has just been established, but the prince has not yet been established, and the prince's young master is directly created. It is very inexplicable.
What is even more baffling is that no one in the court, in the capital, or even in the world thinks this is baffling, as if it is a consensus.
It doesn't matter which prince becomes the crown prince. What matters is that Han You will be the prince's teacher.
As for the four princes who wanted to go to the enemy country as princes to risk their lives, it was not because they wanted to flatter him or anything like that, but simply because they did not want to see the old man worried, and they did not want to see the young prince Zhou Yan wash his face in tears every day.
No matter how precocious Zhou Yan is, he is still a child. There is no news about Han You. Zhou Yan can only put down his errand as the commander of the Yidao Guards and go to the villa to comfort the three mistresses every day. After comforting the mistresses, he will find a place where no one is around to secretly wipe his tears. .
"My lord...go."
A person walked out of the Ministry of War, and it was Huang Youwei, the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Lao Huang started to be reliable, hitting the core as soon as he opened his mouth, and slowly fell to his knees.
"I would like to relinquish my post as Minister of War and ask for the Holy Order to serve as a guerrilla general of the vanguard army. Five thousand elites will not be involved in the war, just to bring Han Jianzheng back. I hope your Majesty will agree."
"Back off!"
Qian Ji walked out with a cold look on his face: "Whatever nonsense you say, Huang Shangshu won't back down."
In the past, many people looked down upon Huang Youwei. After all, the process of this guy's rise to power was very shameful to the literati.
As a result, after Huang Shilang became Huang Shangshu, he completely liberated his nature, and many people were completely dumbfounded.
After becoming the Minister of the Ministry of War, Huang Youwei was finally free to carry out reforms in the military. In addition to improving wages, there were a series of measures in the east, south, west, and north. These measures directly hit the key points. It can be said that it is a policy that benefits the country, the people and the army. The most important thing is that it can solve many shortcomings in the military.
To put it more simply, it means spending the least money to solve the most problems.
His ability was fully displayed, and Huang Youwei was able to secure the position of Minister of War in just half a year, and no one in the civil and military dynasties had any objections.
After becoming a minister, he usually had more opportunities to meet and communicate with big bosses from the three provinces. After this communication, Qian Ji realized how much he underestimated Huang Shangshu.
Old Qian knew that Huang Youwei was a talented man, a man of great ability, and it was perfect to be the Minister of War. However, now that he had to step down as Minister of War and take people to Yingdao, how could the old man agree?
"Huang Shangshu, please step back."
Zhao Tai also stood up, came to the right side of the four princes, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty has your own conclusion, not to mention that the Princes of Qin, Chu and Zhao have already gone to Yingdao."
"Back off."
The third call to withdraw was from Lao Ba. Huang Youwei looked at the person in front of him and thought that this matter had to be discussed in private, so he didn't say anything more.
Lao Huang retreated, but the four princes did not move. The four brothers looked at each other and nodded.
"Father, please agree!"
"Father, please agree!"
"Father, please agree!"
"Father, please agree!"
One after another the screams were louder than the last.
It has to be said that the descendants of the Zhou family are indeed very courageous. Except for Lao San and Xiao Ba, who did not grow up next to Concubine De, they are all tough guys.
"Get back."
Lao Ba was already a little impatient. The four children wanted to bring Han You back. He was very pleased, but the four children were stupid and he was very angry because he knew better than anyone else that he could not bring Han You back even when he was sick. You come back, not to mention four little Bi Zaizi who have never met each other.
The emperor and his ministers all knew that Han You had never taken the princes seriously, let alone four, even forty.
"Father, please agree!"
The four brothers looked at each other again, with determination on their faces, refusing to give in an inch, as if they would never back down if they didn't agree.
Lao Ba suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "What the hell, you four traitors still want to overthrow the world!"
At this moment, a guard rushed in with a look of ecstasy on his face, but as soon as he crossed the threshold, he was kicked in the butt and sent flying by a vicious dog.
Coincidentally, at the same time, the four brothers shouted "Father please agree" in unison, while Lao Ba was furious.
"court death!"
With a roar, a man in black robes quickly entered the hall.
There is only one Han You and Han Shaoyin in the entire Zhou Dynasty who can approach without announcing it.
The guard fell to the ground, which also attracted everyone's attention. He turned around following the sound, and when he saw Han You in black, he screamed in surprise.
Trotting and kicking, the fourth prince Zhou Yan was the first to bear the brunt.
Before Zhou Yan could fall to the ground, he kicked Lao Wu on the lower back again. Han You raised his hand and slapped Lao Liu with a big slap. Lao Qi was hit the hardest, and Han You grabbed his hair and threw him away. out.
Lao Ba stood in front of the dragon chair, his mouth wide open, and he kept rubbing his eyes vigorously.
Han You glanced at Lao Ba, who looked extremely haggard, and then glanced at all the civil and military officials.
"Who the hell dares to change the emperor without me, Han You, nodding."
After finishing his words, Han You pointed at Zhao Tai, who was standing next to the four princes just now, with a gloomy expression: "Little Artai, I haven't seen you for so many days, you are getting timid, aren't you?"
Zhao Tai was stunned and stared at Han You. Before he could speak, the latter sneered: "The Zhao family in the South, Weizhou, Tuxian, Yongnian, and Liuzhou sent three thousand gunpowder arrows when they went to the East China Sea. , a piece of paper can kill the whole Zhao family within ten days, even you dare to force the palace!"
Zhao Tai was dumbfounded, and everyone in the hall gasped.
"And you!"
Han You turned around and pointed at Qian Ji, who was standing on the far left of the four princes just now: "He looks loyal but looks like a traitor. Do you really think that as the commander of the Yi Dao Guard, I will not take precautions against important ministers like you? When you were the Zuo Shilang, you were Quzhou raised an outhouse and gave birth to a boy named Fang Yong. This son is your only blood relative. If I say a word, someone will send Fang Yong's head to the capital."
Qian Ji almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, but Han You ignored him at all. After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground towards Lao Ba.
"Your Majesty, Han You, returns to the capital to ask for the post of commander of the Yidao Guards."
Wen Wu was the first to react, with a look of joy on his face: "Han You, you are finally back."
"Eunuch Wen is relieved."
Han You said loudly: "I will enter the capital with three thousand soldiers. Except for the thousand people in the garrison palace, the other two thousand people have all gone to various mansions, armed with swords, long bows, gunpowder arrows, and sent seven days ago. I will personally send letters to the south, north, and two places. If there is a change in the capital, the southern army will kill the Zhao family first and then other aristocratic families. The same goes for Ma Rulong in the north. As for the west, Feng Bai will go there in person."
Han You turned his head, with a look of disdain on his face: "As I just said, if you want to change the emperor, you should ask me, Han You, first!"
