said that it was too late and that it was fast, Xiang Xu wanted to rush to Hou Shigui's body, and Hou Shigui blocked Bao Jin's knife.

Who knew that Hou Shigui suddenly turned his head to look at him:

"Old Xiang, don't come!"

What the?

Xiang Xu was stunned, and Bao Ji's sword had already fallen.

Then, a pool of blood poured out of Hou Shigui's shoulder, staining his clothes red.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Xu didn't have time to think about anything else, and rushed to Hou Shigui with a sword:

"Childe and run away, come and stop these beasts!"

Unexpectedly, Hou Shigui suddenly stretched out a hand and pressed his shoulder, and said:

"Don't panic, I told Bao Ji to do it."

“...”

"Your Majesty, Yu Wenhao, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, is not guilty! If it weren't for Yu Wenhao's efforts to turn the tide at the critical moment, he would not have been able to escape more than 10,000 soldiers. ”

"The defeat of the Southern Expedition is the right time and place for the people, if it is really discussed, Yu Wenhao will kill the Southern Barbarians without leaving a piece of armor ......"

In the spacious hall, Yang He looked at the old ministers under the hall one after another to protect the commander of the Southern Expedition who was tired of the army, and his heart was full of anger.

I thought that if it weren't for that Yu Wenhao, he was so arrogant and arrogant, and he thought that there were still thousands of barbarians left.

If I dare to ignore the military strategy and try to set up camp in a low-lying place, how can my army of 100,000 be defeated?

How could my teacher die in a foreign land?!!

However, he also knew that at this time, these old ministers were still trying their best to protect Yu Wenhao, and it must be the ulterior bargain reached between the various clans and the Yuwen family.

My army of 100,000 people, the sheji passed down from my ancestors, has become a bargaining chip in the transaction of these families.

But what about yourself? All the news came through the ministers, the overseer was dead, and he didn't have the slightest information about the Southern Expeditionary Army.

Send someone to check? These big families are in the same spirit, the lord of the court, which one is not a born family?

As for the humble door? Don't even think about it, under the exclusion of these families, how can the poor family have a chance to be an official by my side?

So for the news of the Southern Expeditionary Army, isn't it what these ministers say?

Thinking of this, Yang He couldn't help but think of the charter for the establishment of the Jinyi pro-army that Hou Shigui passed through the internal supervisor yesterday.

Glancing at the old ministers under the hall, Yang He felt upset for a while.

I wanted to prepare slowly and find a suitable time to announce this matter.

But now, you forced me!

So, with a wave of Yang He's big hand, Wang Zhen shouted to the court:

"Silence!!"

All the ministers quieted down together, waiting for Yang He to speak.

Yang He didn't speak, but nodded to Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen understood, turned around and walked out of the hall.

It didn't take long for Yang He's months of preparation to finally start.

I saw a herald with a happy face running in hurriedly outside the hall:

"Xiangrui!! Auspicious sign!! Xiling Linben has an immortal who inspires His Majesty's kindness and gives immortal seeds, but it can be ......"

When the herald had finished speaking, another herald ran in:

"Xiangrui! Inspired by the immortals......"

The ministers are also clear about this succession of auspiciousness.

After all, these auspicious rui were all happened more than a year or two years ago at the earliest, and now His Majesty has poked out this matter, and the credit is attributed to himself, presumably to smooth out the fiasco of the Southern Expedition.

At this point, no one raised any objections, but after each herald reported the auspicious news, they congratulated His Majesty in unison.

But what they didn't know was that His Majesty was originally going to use these auspicious rays to enrich his great achievements at the right time.

Now it has become a fig leaf to cover up the fiasco of the Southern Expedition.

Therefore, Yang He's anger towards them in his heart was to the extreme, and after the auspicious report was finished, Yang He spoke:

"Hou Shigui, the head of the household department, was selected by the immortals, and it is a great achievement to send auspicious rui to me."

After that, except for Hou Puru, who pressed his head lower, the rest of the ministers didn't say anything.

It's just the way Your Majesty supports your cronies, and since Your Majesty ascended the throne, I don't know how many times I've done it.

But what happened to those cronies? Either die or be exiled.

And this Hou Shigui is notorious, and it is even easier to deal with.

In the future, if you step on your bottom line, you can find a random reason to make him head different.

What the ministers didn't expect was that Yang He's next reward to Hou Shigui was greatly beyond their expectations.

Commander of the brocade guard?

The forbidden army has twelve guards, and the ministers remember it clearly, what kind of guard is this brocade guard? How come you've never heard of it?

And what kind of official position is the commander?

After Yang He finished speaking, even if there were old ministers who came out and said:

"Your Majesty, the twelve guards of the forbidden army and the six rates of the East Palace are determined by the ancestral system, how can they be easily changed?"

As soon as his voice fell, many of his ministers said in unison:

"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice!"

Think? Are you embarrassed to ask me to think twice?

If I think twice, I'm afraid that when it comes to my son's generation, the entire Great Chu will be hollowed out by you families!

If I don't take advantage of the fact that I still have some power to do something, wouldn't it be better for you?

"Zhu Qing is impatient, Jinyi is pro-army, it is not a forbidden army system, it is just used by me to collect intelligence and solve some unsolved cases."

He didn't dare to say openly now that the Jinyi Guard was the eyes and ears he used to supervise the hundred officials.

Otherwise, it is estimated that a few of these old ministers will be able to immediately scold the faint monarch and crash to death on the pillars in the main hall.

Just an intelligence agency?

Hearing that it was not a forbidden army system, the ministers relieved themselves.

They are not so sensitive to the intelligence agency, after all, in Chu Jing, who can enter this palace, who does not have some intelligence personnel of their own?

As for His Majesty's meaning, they think that at most, it is just that His Majesty no longer wants to use the internal supervisor as his eyes and ears, and wants to change a group of people.

This is not a good opportunity to stuff the hands of his own family into His Majesty's side!

But there are still people who speak out against it:

"According to His Majesty's words, the commander of Jinyiwei is the third rank, and Hou Shigui is only a small branch director, from the rank of the ninth rank.

This time it has crossed the level to the third grade, this move is really too appalling, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

The person who spoke out was naturally Shen Ming, the secretary of the household department.

From the ninth grade to the third grade, this span is comparable to ascending to the sky!

In his mind, the big guy will definitely support his statement.

And his voice fell, except for a few people in his own family, there were few responders.

What's going on?

Just when Shen Ming was puzzled, Tang Yishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly came out:

"Shen Shangshu's words are inappropriate, the minister thinks that those who are in high positions and talented people live in it, and you don't see that before Han Xin turned the tide for Han Gaozu, he was just a ......"

Seeing that the Ministry of Rites was still in the list, Yang He's expression eased slightly.

This is also a deal he has already reached with the Ministry of Rites.

They supported Hou Shigui as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and they no longer asked about their previous accounts.

Just when the ministers were arguing about whether Hou Shigui could ascend to the sky in one step.

Yang He knew it was time to speak on his own.

Jumping from the ninth grade to the third grade, even if it is a splashing credit, you can't do it yourself.

It's a rule, a rule for all to follow.
