Emperor Zhao Shu suddenly asked Han Qi what year he was the prime minister.

Han Qi's eyelids trembled when he asked, but he couldn't help but answer: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister was promoted to the rank of Tongzhong Shumen in the third year of Jiayou's reign." ”

"Oh? Jiayou for three years? Zhao Shu repeated, how could he not know what year Han Qi visited the prime minister? There is naturally a reason for asking knowingly, at this time, Zhao Shu deliberately counted with his fingers, and then slowly spoke: "It's been more than five years, almost six years, right?" ”

Han Qi nodded stubbornly: "Your Majesty's words are not bad. ”

Renzong Dynasty, for officials, has a big advantage, that is, the road to promotion, as long as the person who enters the center of power, it is possible to be a member of the Tongzhong Shumen.

Because the Renzong Dynasty changed the prime minister too frequently, it was as short as a year and a half, and as much as two or three years, and the prime minister must be returned.

So above the court, there are countless people counting their ages, taking care of their bodies, looking up, talking about seniority, one is gone, the next one is up, and after a while, the one above is gone, and then the next one.

Ten years and eight years, it is too normal to change five or six prime ministers. Changing the prime minister is not just as simple as changing the prime minister, because changing the prime minister, the one who is promoted is not one or two, someone will fill the original position of the new prime minister, and then someone below will fill a position, so layer by layer, it is the road to promotion for many people, not just changing a prime minister.

It's like a more vivid analogy, the mayor has become a high-ranking official, and the county magistrate will also be promoted to mayor, and the township head will also be promoted to the county magistrate, and the deputy township head will not be able to make up another township head? It's a ripple effect.

But since Han Qi went up, he didn't move.

Waiting in line for people, looking up again and again, Han Qi still didn't move.

I don't know how many people scolded Han Qi's eighteenth generation ancestors in the middle of the night. Why did someone come out to impeach Han Qi for being greedy for power in the end, it was really forcing people to be anxious, and too many people were forced to be anxious.

Emperor Zhao Shu, if he wants to kill people, he also wants to punish his heart, and asked again: "How old is Han Xiang this year?" ”

"This year, five out of fifty."

"Han Xiang's health is okay?" Zhao Shu asked casually.

Han Qi was already sweating profusely, nodded and said, "The old minister has always been in good health...... But...... Occasionally, there will be times of discomfort. ”

Han Qi wanted to be embarrassed in front of everyone, but he still took a little bit of face into consideration.

Zhao Shu finally said something that had been held back for a long time: "Has Han Xiang ever thought about returning to his hometown to live in his hometown and educate his children and grandchildren?" ”

For a while, everyone's eyes in the court looked at Han Qi.

Someone is in a hurry, the emperor's meaning is already obvious, and the anxious thing is that as soon as Han Qi leaves, the big tree will fall.

Some people couldn't help the eagerness in their eyes, probably thinking that Han Daxianggong should get out of here and go quickly. At this moment, even the privy deputy envoy Ouyang Xiu was not exempt from vulgarity, he didn't think about the position of prime minister, but the position of privy envoy can be thought about.

It's a pity that Bao Zheng died early, otherwise at this moment, he could really think about the matter of Pingzhang under the Tongzhong Shumen.

Some people watch the play, it's none of their business, just watch the play.

Han Qi couldn't help but glance up at Zhao Shu, wanting to speak, but he didn't say it.

Zhao Shu didn't speak, just waited.

There was an awkward calm in the atmosphere in the court.

Zhao Shu didn't speak all the time, just looked at Han Qi.

Let's see if Han Qi's skin is thicker than the city wall, and whether he dares to say in front of everyone in the court that he doesn't want to leave, and he still wants to be an official.

In the Imperial Court and the Imperial History Tower, there were already people who were waiting for Han Qi to speak.

As long as Han Qi said that he didn't want to leave, he still wanted to be an official.

immediately attacked it in groups, where can the literati in this world still have such a brazen person? Is it a gentleman's desire for power? Don't you see, Han Qi has more than 20 prime ministers in front of him, which one doesn't just say go, is very chic, and has to write poems and articles, showing his gentlemanly demeanor? Even Wen Yanbo has to pretend to smile at life, very free and easy.

Does Han Qi dare to say that he wants to continue to be an official at this time?

Feng Jing, the mayor of the capital, looked up at Han Qi with a smile on his face, he couldn't wait, and was ready to spray Han Qi to pieces.

Han Qi, who had several ups and downs, was entangled and hesitated on the spot.

After decades of mixing in officialdom, ups and downs, Han Qi is not without the ability to bear it, nor is it without dormant patience.

It's just that at this moment, he is entangled in the queen mother who has not yet come out, and he still wants to get lucky.

But the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are here, once they really say the words "to be an official", Han Qi's reputation in this life will be in vain.

The silence of the court was a little embarrassing.

The most embarrassing thing is Han Qi himself, if he continues to be silent like this, even if he doesn't speak, he will inevitably have a reputation for being greedy for power.

Han Qi finally stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought about returning to his hometown a few days ago, but many things were shackled, and now that His Majesty said it, the old minister will not say much, and the old minister is willing to return to his hometown, so as to live his life, teach the children of his hometown to go to school, and then report to his family and country." ”

"So ......" Zhao Shu also pretended to think about it, and then said with a sad face: "I don't want Han Xiang to tell him to be old, there are still many things to rely on Han Xiang to handle, but thinking that Han Xiang is old and frail, and is not suitable for working for the country, I can only accept Han Xiang's invitation." ”

When Zhao Shu said this, Han Qi's whole person instantly withered a lot, and most of his spirit was gone.

But someone immediately said: "Your Majesty, Han Xiang is the minister of the pillars, the stone of the pillar country, and now it is on the occasion of His Majesty's pro-government, the minister thinks that it is time to take away the affection of Han Xiang, let Han Xiang continue to assist His Majesty for some time for the time being, and when everything is stable, it is not too late to let Han Xiang return to his hometown." ”

Zhao Shu also thought about it for a while, and said: "Every time I see Han Xiang, I always think of my father, who died at the age of fifty-three because he was too tired of state affairs, and he was only fifty-three years old. Thinking of Han Xiang at the age of fifty-five, I really can't bear it, I can't bear it! I want to crown Han Xiang as the Duke of Yiguo, and let Han Xiang return to his hometown and take the post of Xiangzhou Governor in his hands, so what do you think? ”

There were still people who were ready to persuade again, but they were cut off by Feng Jing, who had been waiting for a long time, and only heard that Feng Jingren had not yet been able to leave the class, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming, treating the old minister so benevolently is really the style of the emperor." ”

Zhao Shu didn't wait much, and immediately spoke: "Come on, draft the will, and reward Han Xiang for his hard work for serving the country for so many years." ”

Speaking of the proposed will, Zhao Shu put all the five great seals on the imperial case, one by one opened the wooden lid, then raised his hand and pointed, and asked: "Such a graceful will, may I ask which Qing family knows which of the great seals is the most suitable?" Teach me a lesson. ”

Zhao Shu obviously didn't know that he wanted to show off the five treasures in front of him, so that everyone could see him clearly Zhao Shu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, was holding these five treasures in his hands.

Let everyone know who will say it in the future!

Looking at the big treasure on that side, some people were shocked, some people were very happy, and some people were happy to see it.

Emperor Zhao Shu, from today onwards, is in power!

Feng Jing immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it is most appropriate to use 'Emperor Tianjing's destiny, and those who are virtuous are prosperous' to commend Han Xiang's virtue." ”

Zhao Shu raised his big hand again and again, looked at the five treasures, and seemed to find the side of "Emperor Tianjing Destiny, the Virtuous Chang", raised it and weighed it in his hand, and spoke: "Quickly draft the decree, and draft two copies of the decree together, promote Tang Jie of the Zhiyuan to the Zhongcheng of the Imperial History, and promote Gan Qi Gandaojian to the Zhiyuan." ”

Feng Jing replied without asking: "Your Majesty, the other two holy decrees for promotion, it should be the most appropriate to 'the emperor respects the treasure of the mandate of heaven', thinking that it is the will of the world, electing officials for the people, and protecting the people of the world." ”

Zhao Shu looked at the other treasures of the Quartet one by one before choosing this one, and said: "The holy decree is coming quickly, and I will personally stamp the great seal!" ”

Han Qi didn't seem to be able to stand even on his feet, but he struggled to maintain his figure.

He didn't know what happened in the palace last night, but at this time he knew that the emperor had really gained power, and the queen mother was gone.

Han Qi was thinking more, could it be that the emperor killed the queen mother?

Or did the emperor imprison the Queen Mother?

Han Qi didn't dare to ask more questions at this time, but he knew that he must figure out this question, and only when this question was clarified would he have the day to rise again.

Best...... It's better if the Queen Mother is really dead! Preferably this is the result.

If this is the result, Han Qi will have the capital to fight with the emperor.

Thinking so much, Han Qi didn't say a word anymore, and even forgot about thanks.

Zhao Shu, who was overjoyed, didn't care whether Han Qi was grateful or not, and had already spoken: "If you have something to do, you will retire from the dynasty today." ”

No one played anything, and maybe someone should have something to do today, but they didn't speak.

Zhao Shu got up and waved his hand: "Retreat from the court, Zhongshu Province will quickly prepare the holy decree and send it to the imperial study." ”

After speaking, Zhao Shu had already turned around and left.

Subsequently, the news of Han Qi's resignation spread like the wind throughout Bianliang City.

Gan Qi also received the news, sat at home, a pot of wine, a few dishes of side dishes, and even sang a tune: "I think at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team was only opened, and there were only a dozen people with seven or eight guns!" ”

Gan Ba heard Gan Qi singing this tune and said with a smile: "Big brother, no matter how few of us are, there are only a dozen people with seven or eight guns?" Even in the old days, when they were wandering the streets, there were dozens of people. ”

Gan Qi smiled without saying a word, lifted the glass, drank it all, poured it again, and drank it all again.

At this time, Li Xian came outside the door, passed the decree, and the emperor summoned him.

Ganchi took the car and left.

The emperor was in the imperial study, waiting for Gan Qi for a long time, and before Gan Qi could enter the door, Emperor Zhao Shu had already smiled and said: "Dao Jian, it's done!" The decree was also issued, along with the decree that you had been promoted to the Governor's House. ”

Gan Qi bowed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the will of the minister's promotion, please send someone to recover it and keep it for a while." ”

"Why, you still don't look down on the official of the Governor's Yuan?" Zhao Shu asked with a smile.

The Zhiyuan is the real leader of the Yuan, and once he is promoted, nine times out of ten he will be the middle of the imperial history.

"No, Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do, and he may want to go out of Beijing, and it is not appropriate to have an official position at this time." Ganchi hinted at a word.

Zhao Shu thought about it, and immediately knew what Gan Qi was hinting at, and said: "Then I will send someone to recover the holy decree, and you must handle this matter properly." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Fortunately, you reminded me before, and asked me to arrange an official position in Zhixiangzhou for Han Qi, and also added the word of going to work immediately, otherwise it would be difficult for this old man to stay in Tokyo and not leave." ”

Gan Qi nodded: "Everything is still in order, and the minister will definitely handle this matter properly." ”

Zhao Shu was very pleased, at this time, he only felt that there was a Gan Qi by his side, which was really comfortable, and he could do anything.

"You go and prepare a lot, I just wait for you to come back, and I will immediately add you to the rank and knighthood. At this time, since you can't be an official yet, then I will seal Zonglan and make it the county lord, and your daughter will be the county lord. "Zhao Shu wants to be extremely gracious at this time, and he also wants to make Gan Qi die.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Ganchi Shane.

"Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."

"The minister retired." Gan Qi slowly exited the study.

There was also murder, and Gan Qi had to go and prepare for it immediately.

Han Qi returned to the mansion and sat in the council hall, waiting for some people to come to the door and have important matters to discuss.

Han Qi himself was frowning and pondering, pacing for a while, and holding his forehead for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Han Qi suddenly found that no one came, which surprised Han Qi very much.

In the past, as long as the court went down, there must have been some people who took the initiative to come to the door. Han Qi only had to wait at home or in the political hall.

Today, Han Qi was still waiting, but he waited for a long time and no one came.

Han Qi suddenly understood, and said angrily: "Come on, send a post to invite someone." ”

Sending a post to invite someone is something that Han Qi hasn't done for a long time.

The butler walked into the council hall and asked, "Who does the prime minister want to invite?" ”

Han Qi stood stunned for a while, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked the seat next to him, kicked a seat to the ground, and then said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, how can it really be reasonable, eat things inside and outside, see the thief who forgets his righteousness, and see the villain who makes the rudder in the wind......"

Han Qi scolded, and the scolding was still angry, so he went to knock over a chair, and then overturned a coffee table.

The housekeeper was so frightened that he retreated again and again, bowed his head, trembling, I don't know how many years I hadn't seen Han Qi so angry.

After Han Qi vented, he slowly settled down, and the housekeeper asked again: "Xianggong, are you still going to invite someone?" ”

Han Qi shook his head: "No need, in the end, I have to rely on myself, you go to prepare the car, I want to go out of the city." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly went to prepare the car, as for what Han Qi was doing when he went out of the city, this should not be asked.

And Gan Qi is also out of the city, and there are some things that Uncle Di Qing Di has to be informed, and maybe Gan Qi will also bring Di Qing directly.

This is Gan Qi's last obsession, and it is also Di Qing's obsession.

Only in this way can all this be considered complete.
