Chapter 113: Hussar General, Han Ming
The journey back to Beijing was smooth, but a major event happened to Beijing.
When the great minister of the dynasty Wendao, this old minister of the three dynasties, in the first year of the middle Chu Ben 183, less than a year when the new emperor ascended the throne, died in the Wenfu, and the Manchu dynasty was shaken.
All the officials and nobles above the fifth rank in Beijing went to mourn, and the scene was grand and grand. Even His Majesty dragged his sick body to the Wen Mansion and said some touching words of the monarch and minister, which moved everyone present.
When Wen Dao was seriously ill, Han Ming received the news, and as soon as the battle was over, he rushed back non-stop, but he still couldn't catch up with Wen Dao for the last time.
He didn't see Wen Dao much, but he had a good impression of this amiable old man. Although he knew the purpose of Wen Dao's doing this, he was not bad to himself after all.
I vaguely remember that when we met for the first time, Wen Dao sat at his desk and browsed official documents. This old man, who was over half a hundred years old, did not have a majestic face, unlike Han Ming's cold and unsmiling face, Wen Dao was even more amiable, which also made Han Ming remember this old man in his heart.
When Han Ming came back, he happened to catch up with Wen Cheng Shouxiao. Wen Cheng's face was tired, and his expression was slightly haggard.
In the past few days, he had barely slept a peaceful night, and he only said hello after seeing Han Ming.
"Grandpa passed away, we have to go back to our hometown in Dongjun and bury my grandfather in the ancestral grave, and I also have to keep filial piety for my grandfather. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't make it back sooner. ”
Wen Cheng patted Han Ming on the shoulder, "It's okay, you won't have it easy this time, and thank you for solving the things that grandpa was most worried about when he was alive." When my grandfather was seriously ill, he kept talking about the war. Unfortunately, Grandpa couldn't wait for this good news. As soon as I leave this time, I'm afraid it will take a long time to come back, and you are in Beijing by yourself, so take care. ”
Han Ming nodded.
Looking at Wen Cheng's distant back, Han Ming was a little lonely. Wen Cheng is one of the few friends he knows in Shangjing, although sometimes he is not serious, but he is quite reliable in doing things.
Back in the Han Mansion, Han Ming was very concerned about the physical condition of Ye Hao's father and daughter. During this time, Ye Die's father and daughter were tired enough, thinking that they had made such a great contribution to themselves, they had to thank them well.
Han Ming didn't see Ye Hao when he came back, only Ye Die was sitting in the courtyard in a daze.
As soon as he saw Ye Die, although he was happy in his heart, he had a straight face.
Ye Die saw Han Ming's expression, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, this time she went out without consulting Han Ming, she had already prepared to be accused by Han Ming. Seeing Han Ming's appearance at this moment, he knew that he couldn't hide.
Han Ming looked at Ye Die's cautious appearance, angry and funny, but he still relaxed.
"You, you, fortunately, there is no danger this time, you said that you went out alone, what if you encounter danger? You let Uncle Ye, how long will I have to worry about you......
Han Ming kept talking, and Ye Die also knew that he was reckless this time, like a child who had done something wrong, standing there listening to Han Ming's scolding.
Han Ming had been talking for a long time, and felt that he had spoken too much, and his tone softened slightly.
"Fluttershy, if this happens again, remember to tell me. I'm not an old-fashioned person, you're worried about Uncle Ye, I'm also worried, you're going to find Uncle Ye, I'm not refusing, I can also send you some people to help you, it's better than you blindly looking for it alone. ”
Ye Die heard Han Ming's tone slowly soften, knowing that Han Ming's anger had subsided, he nodded with a smile.
"I know you're busy at that time, and you don't have enough people, so I don't want you to be distracted. ”
When Han Ming saw Ye Die smiling, he also laughed, and the originally serious atmosphere collapsed suddenly.
"Okay, forget it this time, but I have to thank you this time, if it weren't for you and Uncle Ye, the outcome of this battle is unknown. ”
Ye Die felt a little embarrassed by Han Ming's boasting like this, but she didn't expect a bad thing to turn into a good thing, so she hurriedly said, "Hehe, Fluttershy knows that Childe is great, even without Fluttershy, Childe can still win this battle." Childe, then I'm going to cook. ”
Han Ming nodded dotingly.
......
The morning of the second day.
There are two main matters in the early court today, the first is to reward Han Ming and those who have made meritorious contributions to quell the rebellion, and the second is to discuss the selection of the new prime minister.
Han Ming had previously been promoted to a fifth-class lord by virtue of his military exploits, but this time he was promoted to a first-class knight, and now, he is a fourth-class lord.
Unconsciously, Han Ming has become an indispensable pillar of the DPRK and China, and he can be a big responsibility.
Moreover, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has indeed been no one who has been promoted as fast as Han Ming, which is indeed enviable, and many people in the DPRK and China have already had the intention of stammering.
Han Ming is still unmarried, and many ministers are waiting for the queen to find an excuse to see if they can dedicate their daughters to Han Ming. If you don't have a daughter, you still think about whether your relatives have a daughter, and you can also climb a family.
Han Ming was promoted to the fourth-class lord, and the position of the commander of the city defense battalion was not a fourth-class lord's important minister, so at the court meeting, Kuang Hua proposed Han Ming as a hussar general to lead the city defense battalion.
This appointment immediately raised Han Ming's worth to another height.
The commander of the city defense battalion, it stands to reason that he can only command the city defense battalion, even when Han Ming pacified the chaos, he was only temporarily appointed as the commander of the army, in fact, he was at the same level as Shen Xia.
If Shen Xia hadn't lost the battle and felt that his face was dull, Han Ming might not have been able to command him.
But now it is completely different, the hussar general, into the ranks of military attachés, in and out of the guard of honor, given court clothes, chariots and horses, bows and arrows, plus three tin gifts, the status of respect.
Moreover, other military generals in the DPRK and China do not have the right to support troops, but Han Ming can lead the city defense battalion, which is a real power, and the treatment is not ungenerous.
In this way, Han Ming is already much higher than the military attache of the same level.
Like Liang Shi, Feng Sheng and others, they can only be called military generals, and they don't need to report to the court every day.
The guards in the court, the loose cavalry squire, etc., are military attachés, but they have no military power.
In fact, this is a means of checks and balances, in order to prevent the military attaches of the DPRK and China from supporting their own troops. Han Ming is a special one in the DPRK, on the one hand, it is related to his military exploits, and on the other hand, it is also due to Kuang Hua's appreciation.
After rewarding Han Ming and a number of meritorious heroes, he began to enter the highlight of the court discussion to discuss the candidate for the new minister.
Si Ji Hu Tu was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, the minister of Wen collapsed, and the ministers deeply regretted it. But Your Majesty is not in good health, and you can no longer work for state affairs. A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day, nor shall it be without a face for a day. The minister implored His Majesty to set up a minister as soon as possible, and share the worries of His Majesty with the heart of the courtiers. ”
As soon as Hu Tu finished speaking, a minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the great Sikong Liang Qian has the talent of Wang Zuozhi and can take on great responsibilities. ”
At this time, Da Honglu Zhou Zhi stood up, "Your Majesty, the ministers think it's inappropriate, although Liang Sikong is talented, but he can't convince the courtiers, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”
Han Ming was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Zhi standing up against it. He thought that the prime minister had already been chosen, and the selection of the prime minister by the court was just a formality, but he didn't expect that this was really a discussion to decide on the prime minister, which made him a little unbelievable.
Cui Zhan, the supervising envoy, saw Zhou Zhi stand up, and then said: "The minister also thinks that Liang Sikong is not prestigious enough to take on this big responsibility. ”
The Cui family and the Liang family are both the four major clans in Shangjing, and when the Wen family left the dynasty, they naturally didn't want the other party to sit big, so they tried their best to refuse.
Han Ming was a little suspicious that Zhou Zhi and Cui Zhan were in the same group.
But in fact, it is known that it is because he is too disgusted with Liang Qian's behavior of promoting cronies in the DPRK, if Liang Qian is allowed to be the prime minister, the DPRK does not know what will become, and for the sake of the society, he does not hesitate to offend his colleagues.
When someone comes out to oppose it, naturally someone stands up and supports it.
Those who opposed it were either Choi's people or ministers who were squeezed by the Liang clan in the court. However, these people are only a minority, most of them are in favor, Liang Qian is powerful, Wen has left the court, and most of the officials do not want to offend people.
In this way, the entire court was very noisy, and Han Ming felt that his head was big, not to mention Kuang Hua.
"Okay, okay, you are all the pillars of the country, the matter of the new prime minister, I see it is up to discussion, I am tired, I will discuss it tomorrow. ”
A public horse shouted at the top of his voice: "Retreat." ”
As a result, the matter of electing the new prime minister was also put on hold.
Liang Qian's face was not good-looking.
He originally thought that after Wen Dao left, with the popularity he had accumulated, he was enough to be the prime minister, but he never wanted to be destroyed by Zhou Zhi, Hu Tu and Cui Zhan and others, but as a party concerned, he could only remain silent, but Kuang Hua did not express his position, it seems that he wants to be a big minister, so he can only find another way.
After Han Ming went to the court, the first thing he did was to go to the city defense camp, he is now a hussar general, leading the city defense camp, so he naturally has to choose a commander for the city defense camp.
There is naturally no doubt about this candidate for leadership, Zhao Ming is definitely the best candidate, he has this ability, which also makes the generals admire.
His Thunderbolt Battalion was temporarily in charge of Madness, and Han Ming's personal guard captain was Yang Xu of the Dark Night Battalion.
Han Ming didn't tell Zhao Ming about the establishment of the Dark Night Camp, of course, Zhao Ming also knew that this was Han Ming's hole card, so he didn't ask about it very interestingly.
In fact, the trivial matters of the four major battalions of the Guangcheng Defense Camp were enough for him to worry about his brain, and he didn't have the extra mental strength to understand the mysterious Dark Night Camp.
