As the most important governing tool in the hands of the current emperor, Shangshutai is the first place to know the itinerary of the Han army that returned triumphantly. Unlike the general excitement of other people, Shangshu Changshou Yan Zhu felt that his mood was very complicated.

After today's Zi gradually concentrated power from a few years ago, some important powers that originally belonged to the prime minister were brought to the side of Shangshutai. The more it is relied upon, the more important it becomes. There are four people in Shangshu for the time being, they are Yan Zhu, Dongfang Shuo, Zhu Maichen, and Yan An. Among them, Yan Zhu and Dongfang Shuo were added by the emperor as servants, and they were able to accompany them at any time. The other two stayed in Shangshutai to deal with daily things.

Among these four people, Dongfang Shuo is mellow and silent in everything. Zhu Maichen and Yan An are rigorous, always pay attention, and dare not go beyond them. Therefore, compared with the three of them, Yan Zhu, who is determined to forge ahead and has unparalleled eloquence, is more reused by the Son of Heaven.

Yan Zhu came from a humble background, and through his hard work, he came to today's position. The hardships he endured along the way, only he himself knows how difficult it is.

A humble life is often easier to have grand ambitions, and the road to the clouds is also easier to give birth to dreams that keep climbing!

Yan Suke, who was sealed on the ground for the purpose of quelling the rebellion in Southeast Vietnam, is one such person. The title of Marquis of Kannai does not satisfy him, what he wants is a hereditary prince and a marquis of ten thousand households who can truly bless the descendants of future generations!

Yan Zhu is both civil and military, and he also had the opportunity to enter the army and become a general. The reward for the military merits of the Han Dynasty is particularly heavy, and with his ability, the future is not a problem. However, he still chose to transfer to the civilian position, entered the Shangshutai set up by His Majesty the Emperor himself, as the emperor's right-hand man, and presided over all military affairs in the absence of the chief official of Shangshuling.

Yan Zhu is a smart person, although military merits are important, and although the title is important, compared with the development trend of the distribution of power in the imperial court in the future, he still insists on his choice without hesitation. Because he was already keenly aware of something that His Majesty the Emperor wanted, and he believed that he had the ability to help realize it, so as to achieve the greatest dream in his heart.

Although the power of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was restricted, Yan Zhu believed that this was only temporary, a temporary need made by the emperor in order to centralize power. After all, it is impossible for this most important position under one person and above 10,000 people to be vacant. His eyes had long been firmly fixed on the throne of the prime minister. In his extremely conceited heart, he is the best candidate for the next prime minister.

This is not a utopian fantasy of Yan Suke, but a reality that can be obtained through hard work. Because, Prime Minister Sun Hong is already very old, and he can't struggle for a few years. And the rest of the people, the few guys who may be the biggest opponents, he analyzed them carefully and in detail, and finally he confidently decided that in a few years, he would be the best candidate.

Although Shang Shuling's position is held by Changle Hou Yuanzhao, in the eyes of many people, that position seems to have become a vacant position in recent years. Yuan Zhao only had a small amount of time to come to the Shangshutai official office located in the Vermilion Bird Gate of Weiyang Palace to deal with affairs, and most of the rest of the time, he was either busy on Changle Plateau, or leading troops to fight and conquer the Quartet.

Under such circumstances, Yan Zhu, who is a regular attendant of Shangshu, has actually become the most direct person in charge of all affairs of Shangshutai. People's ambition has gradually had a breeding process, and the emperor's reliance and trust in recent years have further promoted the growth of this process. Yan Zhu is no longer the young talent who bravely went out to fight under the encouragement of Yuan Zhao, he is now a close minister of the Son of Heaven who works hard for his dreams.

However, even if his ability became stronger, he still had a deep fear of Yuan Zhao in his heart. Especially after a series of changes in Chang'an City, Yan Zhu had a hunch that from now on, it is very likely that the relationship between him and Yuan Zhao will never return to the past. For this reason, he had to make arrangements for some things in advance.

Just after the end of the last court meeting, Yan Zhu took the olive branch handed over by the imperial historian Zhang Tang and the imperial commander Du Zhou, and went to attend a banquet organized by them. In a warm atmosphere, they tacitly formed a political alliance with each other. And got acquainted with a large group of people who held power in various ministries of the imperial court, which can be said to be a great gain.

What the imperial historian Zhang Tang said is not wrong at all, that kid from Yuanzhao and them are not all the way at all! Everything he did was incompatible with the rules of officialdom. Yuan Zhao's heart is arrogant, he will not take his colleagues seriously. This expedition has made such a great contribution to come back, so you can't your tail to the sky! This made everyone feel deeply threatened. In order to prevent that guy from doing whatever he wants in the court in the future, he must be twisted into a powerful force so that he can't make any waves.

Although Prime Minister Sun Hong is the head of a hundred officials, that old guy is a two-faced, the so-called "grass on the wall, seeing the wind falling", and only acting according to the emperor's face. If you want to count on joining him, the old slippery head will definitely not do it. But it's okay to ignore his existence directly, this nominal prime minister, his authority will definitely be worse day by day, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will be bored with it, so he will give way to him in advance.

For the reward of Yanmen Pass, after careful negotiation by Yousi, and then reported to the emperor for personal imperial review and approval, the reward specifications have already been sent to Shangshutai at this moment. Just wait for them to draft it, and then send it to the imperial front for inspection and sealing, which is the official holy decree.

Several of the attendants of Shangshutai were the first to know about the contents. After everyone watched it, they couldn't help but admire, it was really enviable!

In accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor, those who made meritorious contributions in the two wars of the Eastern Expedition to Zhenfan and the Great Victory over the Xiongnu in the North will be rewarded according to the top reward. According to this standard, the relevant departments of the imperial court did not dare to slack off, and sorted out and assessed this plan in the fastest time. Now it is presented in front of the world, just to get everything ready before the victorious army returns to Chang'an triumphantly.

The list of meritorious persons is very long. After each person's name, their credit is displayed in detail. Including the number of enemies killed, the role played in each battle and the impact on the overall victory, as well as the various types of capture, etc., the information is comprehensive and detailed, so that nothing is missed. Because this is a major matter related to the honor of all soldiers and soldiers, it is not sloppy at all.

Whether it's joy or jealousy, everyone is smart, so naturally they won't bring it out on their faces. Talking a few words slightly, it was also a congratulatory tone.

"Huh! Did you see, the Black Hawks are shining this time! They account for a large part of these rewards. And of the twelve people who are going to be sealed, seven of them are from the captains of the Black Eagle Army! This is really inspiring for the army! ”

After reading it with a smile, Dongfang Shuo sighed quietly. Although it has not yet been officially written on the decree, if there are no special surprises, it is already a sure thing. But in the bottom of my heart, I was already rejoicing for them.

"Yes, yes! It's been a long time since Dahan has had such a grand event. The last time a large number of meritorious heroes were rewarded was back to the time of Emperor Jingdi, when the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was quelled, and there were several brave generals and ministers who were enshrined at the same time, which was rumored to be a good story. The boy was young at that time and only heard about it, but he never thought that he would see it with his own eyes today, which is really a blessing! Ha ha! ”

The youngest Yan An has a deep friendship with Zhongjun and Sima Xiangru, and at the same time he met Yuan Zhao on Changle Yuan, and has been close friends since then. Now that Siren has made great achievements, he is naturally happier than anyone else in his heart.

Yan Suke, who had already drafted a copy of the edict for the emperor in advance, also smiled, but pretended to be carving the words and did not speak. When he first saw the content on it, he already felt bitter and mixed tastes in his mouth.

Zhu Maichen was the last to enter Shangshutai as a permanent attendant, and he was personally promoted and appreciated by the emperor. The biggest characteristic of this person is that he acts simply and decisively. Emperor Liu Che also took a fancy to him, so he was particularly appreciated. When he approached, his mouth was full of slurs and his eyes were eager.

"Tut-tut! It's remarkable. The merit of this expansion of territory, no matter how rich the reward is, the subjects of the world will only have a share of applause! Especially the Marquis of Changle, even if he was given another prince by the emperor, it is worthy of the name, and it is not too much at all. Didn't His Majesty the Emperor have the idea of becoming a king before...... Hehe! Now it is estimated that many people are as curious as we are, what kind of title will this little marquis's second marquis title be? Zhu is looking forward to it! ”

Hearing their discussions, many young officials and clerks who were busy outside also showed expectant expressions on their faces. Changle Hou Yuanzhao still has the title of Shang Shuling, and he is the chief official of all of us. Moreover, the figure who has already become a legend in the mouths of many people is also their idol. What kind of honor he has achieved, everyone feels the light on their faces.

At a young age, he is about to be the one with the title of double marquis! Such an encounter, not to mention in the Han Dynasty, even in the former history books, has never been heard of. Moreover, everyone has already guessed that the specifications of the marquis awarded by the emperor are absolutely impossible to be lower than the Changle marquis given by the Empress Dowager Dou before.

Yuanzhao's Marquis of Changle, after several superimposed rewards, is now a prince of 12,000 households, which is a veritable marquis of 10,000 households! If today's son rewards him with a marquis of ten thousand households, then he can be said to be far beyond the food of any important minister since Emperor Gaozu. Even the founding fathers Xiao, Cao, Guan, Jiang, and the Marquis are beyond their reach!

Alas! People are more angry than people! Yan Zhu secretly sighed to the sky, silently lowered his head, and began to write down the first line of .......
