Champion Hou did not admit defeat, and after the initial senseless anger, he gradually calmed down and began to instruct his ministers to make a tangible counterattack.

The first minister of action is Jiang Juying, the secretary of the military department, the general Han Xing is of higher rank, but he also has no power to act arbitrarily, major military orders must be reported to the military department in a timely manner, and then transferred by the military department to the emperor, in this process, if the military order is wrong, the military department can return it, ask for correction, in the case of a very obvious mistake, the military department can also directly veto the order.

The so-called mistakes, usually incomprehensible, ambiguous semantics, avoidance, etc., can be corrected, in very rare cases, there will be obvious ambiguity in a sentence in the military order, at this time, the military department can temporarily veto the order, no need to report to the emperor.

The officials of the military department got together and repeatedly read the military orders sent by the general, to the extent that they memorized them like a stream, but they could not even pick out the mistakes in the strokes, and after staying up for a whole night, the military department still had to veto the military orders, for the simple reason that the seal was not clear, and it was possible that it was forged.

This is an absurd reason, unless the general himself personally returned to Beijing with the seal, no one can prove that the seal is genuine, and the military department really can't think of it, so he tore his face and did such a thing.

At the same time, the Ministry of War also issued a direct document to the garrisons in various localities, prohibiting the generals from carrying out military orders.

Before dawn, the king of the East China Sea came to knock on the door, and with the help of the "Guanghua Tigers", he was very well informed.

Han Ruzi only had about an hour to stop the military department, which was a short knife contact between him and the champion Hou, which was faster than the eye and the hand.

Jiang Juying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is close to the Cui family, and the king of the East China Sea has sent someone to contact him, Jiang Juying only replied with one sentence: "The duty is, regardless of personal feelings." ”

Yang Feng immediately went to find Guo Cong, a large number of famous scholars in the capital were already gearing up, just waiting for someone to show their heads, and the military department was the first to bear the brunt.

Half an hour later, the military headquarters was surrounded by a group of scholars with bare hands, who blocked the door, did not allow anyone to go out, shouted Jiang Juying's name, asked him to come out to confront him, and explained why he wanted to prevent the relief of the victims from all over the country.

The military headquarters was only a hundred steps away from the south gate of the palace, and groups of guards patrolled back and forth, but did not interfere.

Jiang Juying sent people to rush twice, but these scholars were either bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, or disciples of Guozijian and Taixue, and the poor people did not dare to really do it, and they did not have an advantage in numbers, and the two hard rushes ended in failure.

The scholars gathered more and more, and after the daylight, a group of old gentlemen came, one of whom was gray-haired, who was picked up by the disciples, his hands trembled, and he read out a "letter of renunciation" in public, severing the teacher-student relationship with Jiang Juying.

The matter became bigger and bigger, and even the yamen of other surrounding ministries were also implicated, so they had to close the door and simply stop working, so as not to rush in from the scholars

During this period, several groups of soldiers tried to drive away the troublemakers, but they were unsuccessful, and they were expelled - no one was allowed to approach the palace with weapons.

Han Ruzi was not idle, and soon after dawn, he went to see the King of England with the King of the East China Sea.

The name of the person beside the king of England is Yuan Zifan, and the two of them met the visitor together.

Han Ruzi brought a petition, hoping that the yamen of all ministries and departments would take the common people as their minds, not to prevent the opening of warehouses and grain release in various places, and promised that they would never investigate the crime of dereliction of duty in the future.

The king hadn't woken up yet, sitting in his chair yawning incessantly, asking for a pen and a seal, trying to send the two nephews away, Yuan Zifan smiled and stopped the king, and then argued with the visitor.

"Although he is the son and grandson of the emperor, he has no real power and official position, and during the period of competing for the throne and electing the emperor, how dare he interfere in the government affairs?"

"The government is stagnant, it is the time for the children of the clan to serve their lives, competing for the throne and electing the emperor, the king is one of the participants, and he should take the opportunity to become famous, why stay out of the matter?"

"The famous ones are the Tired Marquis and the King of the East China Sea, what do you have to do with the King of England?"

"The so-called follow the trend, the two of us build momentum, the king of England takes advantage of the situation, we have left a blank, the king of England is an elder, the seal is in front, we do not fight."

"Since it's good for everyone, why don't you go to the champion first?"

"We have this intention, the first to see the King of England is to show respect for the elder, if the King of England is interested, the two of us are willing to serve the King of England as the leader, and go to see the champion together."

"The King is too young to be involved in this."

"Since you can participate in the election of the emperor, how can you say that you are 'young'?"

……

Han Ruzi and the King of the East China Sea gradually gained the upper hand with two enemies and one enemy, Yuan Zifan, as a hopeful, is good at taking advantage of the situation, he thought that he could easily defeat the two young people, but he didn't expect that he was about to be defeated, and his face couldn't help but turn blue and red.

Han Ruzi suppressed Yuan Zifan, and the king of the East China Sea turned to attack the king of England, and whispered to persuade him to make his own decisions, "You are the son of Emperor Wu, if you want to be the emperor in the future, you have to practice your words now, and you have to make your own decisions about everything......"

"King Ying, don't listen to his nonsense." Yuan Zifan was dealing with the tired marquis, and at the same time, he also had to pay attention to the king of England, he was even more flustered, and regretted it in his heart, he should have refused to see these two people if he knew this.

But the king had been persuaded, jumped to the ground, and said loudly: "Let's go to the champion and ask him why he hides wine, meat, and grain, and refuses to take it out!" ”

"yes, I'm going to have to let him explain." The king of the East Sea tried his best, regardless of how many mistakes the king of England understood.

After all, Yuan Zifan was just a hopeful person, and he couldn't directly interfere with the decision of the British king, the servants were already ready, and immediately sent the pen and ink seal, and the British king waved his pen and wrote his name crookedly, which was even more sloppy than Han Ruzi's handwriting.

Then the three uncles and nephews went out of the mansion and went to the Champion Hou Mansion together.

Before going out, Han Ruzi bowed his hand to Yuan Zifan and said: "Follow the trend, the momentum has been achieved, why is Mr. Yuan not smooth." ”

Yuan Zifan laughed, and also set off, and met Lin Kunshan halfway through, he looked for the King of the East China Sea everywhere, and had already run to several places, and said with a wry smile as soon as they met: "Why did the King of the East China Sea leave me and travel alone?" ”

"I see that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to disturb you, come on, let's go see the champion Hou together."

The team gradually expanded, the news spread somehow, many unexpected people joined in, the actions of the general and the scholars, obviously sent a clear signal to the clan and the nobles, many families sent people to support the Marquis, the King of the East China Sea and the King of England, but they were more cautious, the parents did not come forward, and the young children were sent, many of whom were soldiers of the Noble Battalion under the command of the Marquis, and they did not return to Beijing for long.

Nominally, the core of this team is the King of England, he walks in the forefront, does not know the way, all guided by the tired marquis and the king of the East China Sea on both sides, the little one rarely goes out, so he is very happy, jumping and jumping, and shouting from time to time: "Champion Hou pays grain!" ”

The children of the family understood who was the real leader, and after joining, they all greeted the tired marquis, and some even greeted him with a military salute, still treating him as the general of Zhenbei.

The prince's mansion is not far away, and when Han Ruzi and his party came to the Champion Mansion, the team had expanded to more than 100 people, followed by many servants and a larger number of people.

Han Ruzi and the King of the East China Sea deliberately slowed down, stopping several times in the middle to introduce the King of Ying to the newcomers, making the children even happier.

They are giving the champion Hou time to react.

Yang Feng's evaluation of the champion Hou is that he is less resourceful and more decisive, often making mistakes due to poor consideration, and blaming others afterwards. Therefore, he can't make a surprise attack on the champion Hou, and when he is shocked, he may make a decision to lose both, give him a little time, let the people around him persuade him more, once the anger disappears, the champion Hou will go to the other extreme: throw the mess to his subordinates, and only blame himself.

It was almost noon, and the group came to the door of the champion Hou's mansion, blocked half of the street, and responded to the scholars in front of the military department, it is difficult to say which side is more powerful, but the people in front of the Hou Mansion are more polite, no raising their arms and shouting, no rampage, a large number of worship stickers are sent to the doorkeeper, please hand him over to the champion Hou.

Not long after the champion Hou got married, the lanterns, wedding couplets and other things on the door of the Hou Mansion were still there, and hundreds of people stood outside, like guests who came to congratulate him, but they didn't carry gifts in their hands.

As Yang Feng expected, the champion Hou had already received the news, after experiencing rage, curses and a series of chaotic orders, he calmed down again, followed by timidity, the champion Hou finally found that the entire court was not as firmly in support of him as he hoped to be emperor, most people were actually still waiting, the champion Hou temporarily had the advantage, the ministers showed loyalty, the champion Hou lost his position slightly, they immediately showed the state of riding the wall.

Prime Minister Yin, who has always talked about the prince, claimed to be sick a few days ago and could not go into retreat. In order to compete for the position of prime minister, Xiao Sheng of the Left Inspector and Shen Mingzhi of the Right Patrol Emperor were the most active in front of the champion Hou, and they were also the officials of supervision.

Jiang Juying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was unable to support himself, and the champion Hou couldn't resist it.

For the sake of face, the champion Hou refused to meet the tired Hou and others, and the hopeful Lu Congxin had to go out of the house alone, he knew the current affairs better than Yuan Zifan, and did not argue with the visitors, but greeted him with a smile, claiming that the champion Hou had to do his own business and could not come out to meet, but he was completely consistent with the opinions of the tired Hou, the king of the East China Sea, and the king of England, thinking that the grain was a big deal, the sooner the better, and no one could stop it.

Jiang Juying, the secretary of the military department, who was still unaware, was betrayed in this way and became the target of public criticism.

Lu Congxin brought the petition into the mansion, asked the champion Hou to sign and seal, and the position was tied with the King of England, higher than the Tired Marquis and the King of the East China Sea, and then went out of the mansion to return the petition.

In fact, everyone knew that because the palace refused to approve the petition, there was nowhere to send this petition, and no yamen would accept it, it was just a statement.

The team turned to the military headquarters, and after walking a few streets, the King recognized the road and ran as fast as he could, and it was a beautiful day to remember.

The news always runs faster than the legs, Jiang Juying in the yamen finally heard about the submission of the champion Hou, was taken aback, reacted quickly, and immediately ordered his subordinate officials to go out, assuring everyone that the military department would never refute or veto the general's order, everything was a rumor, and he himself, with the help of his entourage, escaped over the wall, and returned home with a serious illness, and did not go out again for a long time.

Han Ruzi won another victory, but like the two armies that have been facing each other for a long time, once they clash, the battle will continue until one side is defeated and withdraws, and Han Ruzi is far from achieving the final victory.

Yang Feng felt that the time had come, and suggested that the Tired Marquis start to win over the ministers, and the first target was Zuo Cha Yushi Xiao Sheng, who had the deepest resentment against the Tired Marquis. (To be continued.) )
