On the eighth day of October in the ninth year of Yanli Pingguang, three days after the prince's wedding, the ministers entered the court and held a routine court meeting.

The main thing of this court meeting was naturally to reward the envoy to Qingguo, so the ministers entered the court, and after the emperor entered the palace, he summoned several members of the main mission to Qingguo.

Cao Yin and Han Mo, the deputy envoy, naturally wanted to enter the court to listen to the rewards, and Song Shiqing, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Xiao Mu, the commander of the Leopard Battalion Guard, also came to the Taiping Palace.

Cao Yin is already a marquis, and naturally he will not be sealed on the title, mainly to reward a large number of property, Song Shiqing and Xiao Mu also received a large number of financial rewards, and the soldiers who went to Qingguo with the regiment this time also have their own rewards.

It's just that before the envoy, the emperor promised in front of the officials in the palace that when the mission returned to Beijing smoothly, he would canonize Han Mo as the general of the town.

The emperor will not break his word, and the eunuch will read out the decree of the edict in the court, and seal Han Mo as the general of the town, in other words, Han Mo can already have his own general's mansion.

The highest title of the military general of the Yan State is the general of Shenwu, and the lower ones are the hussar generals, the chariot generals, the military guard generals, the town army generals, the Yun Lu envoys, the conscription envoys, and the military generals with the lowest title of consolation envoys.

These eight-level titles, aimed at the generals of the Yan State, as long as they are canonized, they are the official generals of the Yan State, and the entire Yan Kingdom, including the border army, the Imperial Forest Army, and the city defenders, are canonized as military generals, but there are only more than 40 people.

Before the envoy, Han Mo was canonized as the envoy of Yunlu, which was already an extremely rare thing, and now he was named the general of the town army, although the people in the court had already known about it, but after the will was read out, they were still a little surprised.

Many people sighed in their hearts that the emperor had supported the Han family to fight the Xiao family for more than a year, and the one who benefited the most was this young Han child.

Some people even think that the emperor made Han Mo the general of the town, because the prince had just married a girl from the Xiao family, and the Han family felt uncomfortable, so in order to balance the mentality, this gave the Han family a sweetness.

No matter what the reason, Han Mo, the town general, is already real.

Canonized as a town general, you can also have your own general's mansion, although it is the lowest class in the specifications of the general's mansion, but it is a symbol of honor.

The emperor even issued an order in court, ordering Xiao Huaijin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to build a town army general's mansion in the east of the city.

After the reward was completed, the court discussed a few more matters, and the emperor finally said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to show to all Aiqing today, and this matter has been decided, so ...... I just inform you, and I don't need to discuss! ”

The ministers were a little puzzled, all along, the emperor had to discuss everything in the court, and he had never set a precedent before announcing it, and they looked at each other for a while, not knowing what it was.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, the emperor said calmly: "You Aiqing also know that I lost my beloved concubine back then, and I was immediately at that time, and within ten years, the harem will not be established!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court changed color slightly, and they understood for a while that what the emperor was going to announce today was related to the establishment of the queen.

The courtiers, including Xiao Taishi, Han Xuandao, Han Xuanchang, Su Guanya, Fan Yunao, and Hu Xuexin, all looked at the emperor in unison, and everyone's expressions became solemn.

"It's ......been ten years since the concubine passed away!" The emperor clenched his fists slightly, his gaze swept over the ministers, and his voice was low and slow: "There is no owner in the harem, I am close to daily thinking, there are no rules and no circle, this harem still needs a proper harem master to rule the harem and the world!" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers bowed down and said in unison.

It's just that many people have guessed in their hearts that it seems that the emperor is going to show great favor to the Xiao family this time, he just married the young lady of the Xiao family as the crown princess, and now he is going to be the queen, and the candidate for the queen is naturally the Xiao Guifei.

Xiao Guifei is the first concubine to enter the palace to serve the emperor in addition to the deceased crown princess, and for so many years, although Xiao Guifei does not have the name of the lord of the harem, she actually has the fact of the queen, and the affairs of the harem are all managed by Xiao Guifei.

Now that he is established, it is nothing more than to give Xiao Guifei a real name.

It's just that this concubine and the queen are very different, and the concubine is just a concubine, only the queen is the real mother of the country, and she can handle many affairs in the harem justifiably.

Although Han Xuandao's expression was calm, his brows furrowed slightly.

He really can't understand this emperor now, if it is to balance the strength of the family in the court, so as not to make the Han family gain momentum, the prince's wedding is enough to deal a blow to the Han family.

But the prince's wedding is only three days, but to set up another queen, if Xiao Guifei becomes the queen, the power of the Xiao family will be greater, this continuous promotion of the Xiao family, one and the other, will definitely make the rise of the Han family further hit, so that the emperor has been implementing the family balance policy will be a big destruction.

Why did the emperor do this? What is his calculation?

Han Xuandao's eyes were very cold in the depths of his eyes, and in his subconscious, he naturally felt that this queen was none other than Concubine Xiao.

In fact, almost everyone in the DPRK and China thinks so.

Regardless of seniority and status in the harem, Concubine Xiao is just short of this name.

It's just that Taishi Xiao, who was sitting at the head of the ministers, flashed a strange look in his eyes, and the old man didn't have the slightest excitement and joy, and the old and withered hand on his knee even shook it a little uneasily.

Xiao Taishi has seen the emperor's checks and balances very thoroughly, and he has always been very clear that the emperor does not want the Xiao family to be strong, but he also does not want the Han family to be strong.

In the emperor's heart, he just wanted to play with the dynasty and the middle family as a chess piece.

When the Han family was in the limelight, the emperor suddenly came to the prince's wedding, and suppressed the rising momentum of the Han family, and many courtiers in the court learned that the prince was going to marry the young lady of the Xiao family a month ago, and many of them from the Han family voted to the door of the Xiao family.

Taishi Xiao knew very well in his heart that this time the prince's wedding had made the situation more balanced, and in this case, the emperor should not make too many moves.

But only three days after the prince's wedding, the emperor suddenly threw out the topic of the future, which shocked the old man's heart, and he became vigilant in an instant.

He didn't subconsciously think that the emperor wanted to canonize Concubine Xiao as the queen like others.

Xiao Taishi raised his head slightly, and the pair of eyes that seemed to be cloudy but were actually extremely sharp, stared at Su Guanya's face, and Su Guanya happened to be staring at Xiao Taishi's face at this time.

The two of them made eye contact, and after the four sharp eyes collided, Su Guanya, the secretary of the ministry, was the first to smile slightly, and Taishi Xiao also smiled almost at the same time.

Yes, I see!

Xiao Taishi's heart moved, and he finally thought that in addition to the Xiao faction and the Han faction, there was also a strong faction in the court, the Su faction.

Before the rise of the Han family, the battle in the court has always been a confrontation between the Xiao and Su families, but as the emperor deliberately supported the Han family, the Han family became more and more conspicuous in the court, and the former old rival Su family was silent and hidden little by little.

Nowadays, above the court, it is usually a duel between the officials of the Xiao faction and the officials of the Han faction led by the Han family, but the officials of the Soviet faction, who were once extremely active in the court, are becoming more and more silent.

The Xiao faction and the Han faction were busy fighting each other, and the two sides did knock down a large number of officials from each other, and the struggle was in full swing, while the Su family gradually became a role in watching the tiger fight.

Su Guanya's appearance is polite and gentle, but as Su Guanya's old opponent, Xiao Taishi knows the ability of this opponent and knows that under Su Guanya's smiling face, he is an extremely cunning and cold heart.

How can one ignore the existence of such a formidable opponent?

After the emperor was established, if it wasn't his daughter Xiao Guifei, then could it be Concubine Su Li of the Su family?

Does the emperor think that the fight between the two Han Xiao families is not fierce enough, so in this way, he wants to pull the Su family to the table again and force the Su family to participate in the melee in the court?

The emperor doesn't want the Han family to be strong, he doesn't want the Xiao family to be strong, and naturally he doesn't want the Su family to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!

Thinking of this, Taishi Xiao's eyes showed a smile even more.

The emperor sat in the golden dragon seat, looking at the strange expressions of the courtiers, knowing that there were all kinds of scheming and tricks below, he raised his hand, gently stroked his beard, and said slowly: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, if I want to dominate the harem, I must be smart and wise...... I have decided to make Concubine Han Shu my Empress Dayan! ”

Suddenly, the emperor announced his thoughts to his courtiers.

The three words "Concubine Han Shu" spread very clearly in the ears of every courtier in the court, and when the three words came into everyone's ears, no matter how calm the courtiers were, their faces finally showed surprise.

Taishi Xiao's fists clenched even tighter.

It turned out that it was not Concubine Su, but Concubine Han, but as expected, it was not his daughter Concubine Xiao!

The court was silent for a while, deathly silent.

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloping the entire court, which was extremely strange and so oppressive that people could barely see it.

"Holy ...... Cannot! ”

Finally, a bright voice broke the silence of the court, and everyone's eyes turned to it, and Han Mo, who was among the courtiers, also looked over, frowning, slightly surprised.

The first person to come out against it was none other than his father Han Xuanchang.
