Throughout the ages, there is nothing more joyful in life in officialdom than to be added to the ranks. Although the Han family is a lord for generations, the matter of sealing is so old that people can hardly remember it.

This is all because the Taishi Mansion has always been pressed on the top, and every time the Han family is rewarded, the gold and silver servants and the beautiful mansion of the good land are never stingy, but the threshold of the Han Mansion has never been raised an inch.

However, this situation was suddenly broken with the collapse of the Taishi Mansion. Soon after the Hanyuan Hall meeting, the officials privately conveyed to Han Fu that the saint wanted to make him a marquis, but two titles had not yet been finalized, and he wanted Han Fu to make up his own mind.

One is loyal and brave.

One is the Marquis of Jinghai.

Han Fu was flattered by the matter of the marquis, he was used to sitting on a cold bench in the court, and he was suddenly favored by Li Houcong, and he was somewhat uncomfortable. But after swallowing his anger for decades, it's time to raise his eyebrows.

Han Fuxi diligently looked at the two titles handed over by the officials, and almost immediately fell in love with the former, he was loyal to the Han family for several generations, but he was poked in the backbone and scolded because of a defection of his ancestors until now, if he can get the title of the Marquis of Zhongyong, it will undoubtedly wipe away the scar that the Han family cares the most.

However, he still said that the matter should be decided by the Holy One.

"Your Majesty said it himself, which of these two titles is good, if you can't only choose one, you really want to crown Lord Han as the Marquis of Zhongyong Jinghai, so Lord Han will choose one himself." So said the people of the ministry.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is too wrong, and I'm really ashamed of it, so let me think about this matter for a while, and then reply?"

"Very good, very good." The people in the Ministry of Officials suddenly lowered their voices and said with a smile: "After Lord Han thinks about it, you don't have to report it to my Ministry of Officials, Your Majesty also asked me to bring a message to Lord Han, please enter the palace tomorrow into the tea garden behind the Evergreen Palace, and Your Majesty will give tea to Lord Han." ”

knighted, tea.

Who can not envy such a spring breeze proudly in the DPRK? The officials got the will of Emperor Wen to pass it on, and their hearts were like mirrors. Cangwu Country has no Muyun Clan, and the country will not change, and the green water will still flow for a long time. The Han family must be the next pillar of the Holy Minister. The people in the ministry have seen a lot of things about the promotion of the right and the move to the left, and such an obvious thing is naturally very transparent, so they are all pleasing in their actions.

However, Han Fu had some melancholy in his heart, he knew that Li Houcong was a person with a deep city government, and this title was specially used for him to choose, would there be any fame in it. Along the way, I have relied on prudence to get to where I am today, and some things must be prevented.

So, it's better to ask Ye Zhiqiu.

When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he pondered for a while before he spoke:

"Lord Han is in love with the word loyalty?"

Han Fu had some embarrassment on his face and nodded.

"In my opinion, Li Houcong has guessed your mind, so he is testing you with this matter."

"I think so, too, but I don't know what kind of temptation he is."

"He guessed that you were interested in the words of the world, so he proposed a title of Zhongyong Marquis to lure you, but he gave you another title called Jinghai Marquis. Master Han knows, where is the sea of this 'Jinghai'? ”

Han Fu thought about it, and suddenly realized: "Isn't it...... The sea of the blue sea? ”

"Exactly!" Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly: "When I had tea with Lord Han the day before yesterday, I once guessed whether he had the intention of taking the opportunity to encroach on the blue sea from the Imurans, but I was not sure at that time. But seeing this title, I can almost conclude that he must have the intention of crusade to the east! ”

Han Fu never imagined that just two titles would be able to spy on such mysteries, it seems that asking Ye Zhiqiu to ask first, it is really the right question!

"Lord Han, in fact, put these two titles in front of you, what he wants to say is that if you plan to stop there and enjoy comfort, then the title of Zhongyong Marquis is probably the ultimate reward for you to return to your hometown. If you are willing to charge for him in the Eastern Crusade, then after the blue sea is leveled, you will have your own wealth. ”

Han Fu listened, took a sip, and said disdainfully: "Tell the old man to return to his hometown? He Muyun's clan is immortal, my Songyang country will not return to the country, how can I, Han, sue the old man and return to his hometown? The wealth of the Han family for generations has also been earned by himself with military exploits, and it is rare for him to reward him? ”

"Well said!" Ye Zhiqiu praised: "The trend of the Imuran people going south will inevitably be devastating, merciless, Li Houcong still doesn't know that he is a candle in the wind, as long as we echo Wen Lan in the imperial capital, he is in the light and I am in the dark, he will definitely not be able to prevent us." ”

"Not bad! I think so too! So what does Lord Ye think right now? ”

"Lord Han can tell him that he wants the title of Marquis of Jinghai."

Han Fu was stunned, "Could it be true that he went to the Blue Sea Country to kill the Imurans for him?" ”

"Naturally not, but Lord Han, please think about it, only by doing so can you convince him that you have the will to serve him in the Eastern Crusade, and can he entrust you with the power of the army. The last time you left the imperial capital, he asked you what to do with the words 'will not be subject to the life of the king abroad', and he already had his current plan around that time. What he wants to ask is probably not the matter of Hanjiang last time, but the matter of the next crusade. He is the Marquis of Han today, and he will summon you into the palace tomorrow, he must want to mention the Eastern Expedition to you while the iron is hot! At that time, Lord Han will have to show his loyalty so that he can put the army in our hands. As long as you have the power of the army, as soon as you cross the river, you join forces with Wen Lan, then he Li Houcong will have a big rest! ”

"Clever plan...... Coup! Han Fu was thrilled when he heard this, but he was a little relieved, and asked, "I just don't know if I lead the army to Bihai, how should the situation in the imperial capital be controlled?" Will Lord Ye be a little weak? ”

"Don't worry, I have the right person to help me in the imperial capital, and it should be usable."

Han Fuqi said: "There is already a candidate? Who is it? Where? ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled quietly: "It's right under the nose of Lord Han." ”

Han Fu was stunned, and then exclaimed, "He? Is Lord Ye talking about him? ”

"So I told Lord Han earlier that I should treat him well, and I will be useful when the time comes."

Han Fu sneered, "What can he do with a waste like that?" ”

"People can't be good-looking, although Cao Feihu is a little dull, but he can use it very well. Lord Han only remembered that if it was time to lead the army to the east, no matter what, Cao Feihu should be left in the imperial capital. ”

"It seems that Lord Ye is already confident and has planned everything."

"Not really, there is another matter that needs to be mediated by Lord Han."

"What?"

"There are three deputy commanders in Lord Han's camp, in addition to Cao Feihu, there are two others I remember are called ......"

"Chen Qi, Zheng Lun."

"Yes, the temperament of Commander Chen and Commander Zheng is very familiar, and the two of them are also from families, so they will probably look down on Cao Feihu."

Han Fu nodded, Ye Zhiqiu was telling the truth, in fact, he was already euphemistic, not to mention those two commanders, he didn't look down on such a mountain and wild horseman.

"However, I'm afraid that if Lord Han is far away in the blue sea, this Commander Chen and Commander Zheng don't know if they will be left in the imperial capital by Li Houcong to guard the capital, and if there is a disagreement with Cao Feihu, wouldn't I be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites and call Tianyi unacceptable, and delay the big event?"

"What does Lord Ye mean?"

"Please Lord Han must solemnly tell those two commanders, although the military rank and qualifications of the two of them are not below Cao Feihu, but no matter what, please bear the burden of humiliation for the time being and obey Cao Feihu's deployment."

"What? How is this possible? Although my two deputy commanders are children of a family, they are not some of the best people, no matter which one of them is a general! How could he obey a grass-headed general who couldn't even do his duty as a guard! Han Fu felt that Ye Zhiqiu had said something incredible, and shook his head and waved his hand again and again.

Ye Zhiqiu did not back down, and continued: "This is the key, Lord Han think about it!" First, when Lord Han was far away in the blue sea, if I wanted to secretly use troops, I needed the cooperation of the Songyang battalion, and Lord Han thought that the command at that time should be entrusted to Commander Chen, or should Commander Zheng be appropriate? ”

"This ......" Han Fu hesitated for a moment.

Chen Qi and Zheng Lun are inseparable from each other in terms of bravery, qualifications or family background, and only when they are in the army, they can get along peacefully, if they are not in the imperial capital, delegate military power to any of them, and the other will be suspicious. What Ye Zhiqiu pointed out is the key point of the Songyang camp. It's just that he has been in the middle for a long time, so the reason for this is not known to outsiders.

"What Lord Ye wants to say is the allusion of 'two peaches killing three soldiers', I can understand this, but because of this, I want them to be wronged and obey that Cao Feihu's orders, I'm afraid that their spirit will not be able to hold on."

"'Two peaches kill three soldiers' is just one of them, and there is another one. Although I have a plan for Li Houcong in the imperial capital, but after the matter is completed, I will need to find someone to cover up the truth for the dead ghost. Could it be that Lord Han is willing to part with his love and let Commander Chen or Commander Zheng become benevolent? ”

"Uh......" Han Fu was speechless for a while, these two generals are perennial right-hand men, so they are naturally reluctant, if Cao Feihu is asked to die because of this, it doesn't matter.

"Third, Lord Han has been trained well for many years, and the two deputy commanders are already resourceful veterans, and when things are secret, I can't tell them everything when I want to use troops, and if they question me with suspicion in their hearts, I don't have the confidence that I can deal with it. However, I am confident that Cao Feihu can still handle it. Ye Zhiqiu spread his hands: "Well, Lord Han, I have already told you all the stakes, even if there are difficulties in this matter, it is necessary to let Lord Han spend more effort and tongue, and tell the two deputy commanders well." ”

Han Fu's face was embarrassed, and he wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't help but say: "Lord Ye, you just believe that Cao Feihu is a usable person?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled secretly: "Lord Han, you can not believe Cao Feihu, but do you believe me Ye someone?" ”

Han Fu exhaled heavily and sighed, "Okay, I'll listen to Lord Ye." I will certainly mediate this matter! ”
