Chapter 144: Embattled
Although the emperor didn't say much, Xuanyuan Hanmo could see it from the battle report.
The situation is already dire.
If he could, the emperor would not not have consulted with the prime minister's officials, but directly bypassed those officials to find Xuanyuan Hanmo.
It is estimated that those high-ranking officials are already preparing for the back road, and they have become untrustworthy.
The imperial court, which had already begun to decline, began to expose all its problems in this stormy time.
How many people in the court can still use it, the emperor himself doesn't know, and among the people who can use it, there are even fewer capable people.
In a big country, everyone fights for power and profit for their own interests, and there is no fear that the country will perish after they fight for power.
In order to protect their own rights and interests, the princes excluded dissidents everywhere and suppressed them everywhere.
Several princes who have the ability to compete for the supreme position are also seeing the seams, forming gangs and fighting with the princes.
Everyone has a lot of power in their hands.
But at this time, let them send people who can do things, and one by one they have become shrunken turtles, and they are all afraid that their power will be damaged.
The emperor has secretly dealt with a few princes and princes who took the opportunity to set up their own doors, but the crown prince and several powerful princes did not dare to touch them at all.
Those ministers in the DPRK and China can't even move, one radish is a pit, and at other times, one would have killed one a long time ago.
But at this time period, it will be a big trouble to move one, and I don't know where to find someone to fill this vacancy.
The plan proposed by Xuanyuan Hanmo, the emperor also felt that it was feasible, but it couldn't be done, no one could use it!
The emperor didn't say it, but Xuanyuan Hanmo probably guessed the emperor's difficulty.
"Your Majesty, can you trust me? I have a couple of people who can recommend,"
When the emperor was thinking, Xuanyuan Hanmo suddenly said such a sentence, which made the emperor stunned for a moment.
"If I don't believe you, how can I look for you? Here are all people I trust, if you have something to say, just say it. ”
"My second brother can be civil and martial, and he may not have much experience in marching and fighting, but he has been working in the Criminal Department for so long, and he has the ability, so I can try to let him be the candidate for this recruitment work."
The emperor nodded, Xuanyuan Haowen did have this ability, but he was too low-key to think of it for a while.
"He can, but the official position is a little smaller, this is not in the way, and it is not difficult to be promoted later, is there any?"
Xuanyuan Hanmo stood up and thought about it, and ordered a few more people, all of whom knew each other and felt that they could do it.
The emperor also nodded one by one, although not all of these people know, they all have one thing in common, that is, a group of people with humble official positions and are not easy to be wooed.
If such a person has the ability, the emperor doesn't mind using it, as long as he can get through this difficulty, he will definitely reuse it in the future.
"The last thing, I hope Your Majesty will not blame the ministers for overstepping, and please ask Your Majesty to deal with the different parties in the DPRK and China as soon as possible. The rear is unstable, and no matter how powerful the front is, it will be dragged down. ”
The emperor was silent, this matter is difficult, but it is indeed as Xuanyuan Hanmo said, if this is not solved, the army fighting in front will be endlessly restrained and slowly collapsed.
The Emperor decided to take a gamble! In his opinion, if he loses anyway, he will have nothing or even destroy the country, so it is better to gamble now.
After returning to the palace that day, the emperor let the crown prince and several princes into the palace in the name of a family banquet.
After they all entered the palace, the emperor immediately issued several holy decrees in succession and promoted several people recommended by Xuanyuan Hanmo.
This move directly bypassed the prime minister and his group of officials, disrupting their plans.
Since this day, the crown prince and these princes have stayed in the palace and never come out, and they have been under house arrest in disguise, everyone is stared at, and if they escape, they will be killed directly.
If it weren't for the fact that the people of the prince's faction could still see their masters in the early dynasties, it is estimated that these forces would have thought that their masters had been killed in secret.
And after those few holy decrees were directly promoted to the officials of several people, Xuanyuan Haowen directly became the general of the expedition, and he was given the emperor's sword in his hand, and those who did not accept it could be killed.
Xuanyuan Haowen was stunned by such a name, he stayed in the Criminal Department to deal with the case, how could he wake up and become a general?
Before the expedition, Xuanyuan Hanmo pulled Xuanyuan Haowen and said a bunch of words, and told the whole plan.
After Xuanyuan Haowen knew the reason for his gratuitous promotion, he just patted Xuanyuan Hanmo on the shoulder, and the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say too much.
"Second brother, it's up to you about the conscription, I'll go to the other side and do the same thing as you, we'll see you in the border city!"
"Good! See you in the border city, don't make me wait too long! ”
Xuanyuan Haowen set off with 10,000 city guards, which is already the largest number that the capital can allocate to the city, and the remaining city guards need to guard the capital.
He took people to various small cities in Shu County, and the task was very large.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Hanmo also considered Liu Yun's safety.
Xuanyuan Hanmo asked Liu Yun to move back to the Xuanyuan mansion to live, just in case, no matter how bad it was, there would be a response.
And Xuanyuan Hanmo didn't bring anyone, and several people from the sickle group stayed behind to secretly protect Liu Yun and them.
And Xuanyuan Hanmo decided to set off alone in the direction of Jincheng with the military talisman given by the emperor, and Jincheng is also a city that is unwilling to send soldiers as stated in the intelligence.
The secret news is that there are at least more than 100,000 troops in Jincheng, all of which are in the hands of the western governor.
This western lieutenant is a faction of the prince, and after getting the news, the prince asked the young and strong army to hide, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled to show.
Xuanyuan Hanmo left alone, and Liu Yun in the courtyard of Xuanyuan Mansion held the two children and looked in the direction of the west worriedly.
Lan Xueling hugged her little grandson Xiaoxi over and stood with Liu Yun.
"Xiaoyun, don't worry, Xiaosan will protect herself, let's go inside, it's going to rain."
"Hmm."
After Xuanyuan Hanmo left the capital, it began to rain, and he put on a raincoat made of specially made oilcloth, and Xuanyuan Hanmo hurried in the rain.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of him.
It turns out that it is not abandoned!
It stood quietly in the middle of the road, the hair on its body was already wet, looking at Xuanyuan Hanmo, there was no sense of comic in his eyes, there was a cold feeling.
"Don't give up, do you want to go with me too?"
"Dirty!"
"Good! Let's go! ”
A man and a dog traveled together again, although they didn't give up and couldn't speak, and even if they weren't human, they would always appear to accompany Xuanyuan Hanmo when he was doing something dangerous alone.
"Good fellow! Let's go! ”
Xuanyuan Hanmo took off the tarpaulin raincoat, and a man and a wolf hurried together under this small raincoat, and Xuanyuan Hanmo also sang a song.
That night, Xuanyuan Hanmo caught a cold.
"Old man, why are you alright?"
Don't give up tilting his head and looking at Xuanyuan Hanmo.
"Dirty!"
