Facing the dozens of courtiers of His Royal Highness, the emperor sneered: "What if I don't take back my fate? ”

Taishi Xiao, who had not been silent, finally stood up tremblingly, and arched his hand: "Back to the saint, Ganluo is the appearance, it is the beauty of the ancients, and the saint wants to emulate, which is where the saint is sage."

The emperor squinted at Taishi Xiao and did not speak.

For this old fox, he now knows that it is powerful, every word may be a trap, but he has to deal with it carefully.

Taishi Xiao said slowly: "Han Mo has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, as the Holy Lord said, he really deserves to be rewarded, but it's just ......!" After a pause, he coughed twice before he said: "It's just that as the old saying goes, people do their best to be the right way." Han Mo is very young, but he has a genius, but the old minister thinks that this Han Mo's talent is not in the selection of officials, but in the ranks. Serving in the Ministry of Officials is naturally a gift from the Holy Heavens, but the old minister is the same as what you have seen, this Han Mo can command the army, but he may not be good at selecting officials. It's like a skilled blacksmith who can craft a magic weapon, but he may not be able to weave beautiful silk. The Ministry of Officials is the six important divisions, related to the blood of the officials of my Dayan court, blood is the essence of the country, once because of lack of experience, the selection of non-people, uneven, not only personal dereliction of duty, but also disaster to the country and the people, this is powerful, must not be observed, but also please saint Mingjian! ”

Taishi Xiao's words were low and solemn, but in everyone's ears, they were full of truth and difficult to refute.

This noble position is an important minister of the country, which is extraordinary, no more than ordinary officials, and must not be sloppy.

Xiao Taishi came out to prevent Han Mo from serving as a minister, in the eyes of many officials, it is a very normal thing to take it for granted, and once Han Mo serves as a minister, the Han family will account for half of the six departments, which is extremely terrifying, and the Xiao family obviously does not want to see such a situation appear.

It's just that how did they know that the deep meaning of Taishi Xiao's hand was much more complicated than they imagined.

……

"What does the old lady mean, but also that Han Mo is not suitable?" The emperor asked lightly with an expressionless face.

Since Xiao Taishi came forward, the emperor knew in his heart that his trick of rising and descending brightly and secretly would be difficult to achieve, at this time, the only four remaining families in the court, except for Fan Yunao, who had not expressed his position for a while, Han Xuanchang, Hu Xuexin and Xiao Taishi opposed Han Mo as a minister at the same time, so I am afraid that this will will cannot be implemented.

Taishi Xiao took out a fold from his sleeve with some difficulty, the old rickety's body was shaky, and the breathing was also very short, the courtiers saw it, and many people were secretly sighing in their hearts.

Taishi Xiao has been in the court for decades, and in the past ten years, he has been the first important minister of the dynasty, with a high position and great scenery, but now that he is old, he does seem so weak and hard.

In this world, who can fight for a long time.

The eunuch hurriedly came over and took the excerpt and presented it, and Taishi Xiao had already said in that old voice: "This is the excerpt that the old minister has carefully drawn up in the past few days, and the vacant positions of various ministries, courts, and departments are all in urgent need of officials to supplement, this list is all seen by the old minister personally, and has not yet been discussed by the cabinet, please take a look at it!" ”

The Emperor took the fold and looked at it carefully, the expression on his face was at first surprised, and after a moment, it became gloomy.

This excerpt is the first of the three excerpts of Master Xiao.

A list of more than 40 officials has been drawn up, all of which are vacant official positions vacant by Su officials after the Su family was pacified, covering six ministries and five monasteries, all of which are important vacancies.

Soldiers, officials, workers, households, rites, and criminal departments, Taichang Temple, Dali Temple, Taifu Temple, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Imperial History Academy, Supervision Yuan, ......!

One official position after another crossed the emperor's eyes, and one name after another drilled into his eyelids.

Among the more than 40 people on this waiting list, nearly 20 of them are Han faction officials, and the most conspicuous one is the official ranking first, who suddenly has the name of "Han Xince" written on it.

The emperor's face turned blue.

This list was in the hands of the emperor, which made the emperor subconsciously think that the Xiao family was afraid that he had already taken refuge in the Han family.

The emperor knew that Xiao Huaiyu was dead, and with the wisdom of Master Xiao, it was impossible to guess it, but no one dared to show such a secret thing because of all kinds of scruples.

But the emperor understood that if Xiao Taishi knew that Xiao Huaiyu was dead, he would definitely know the situation of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family, which had no pillars, would definitely choose a new backer.

He originally thought that after Xiao Huaiyu's death, the Xiao family might be able to get closer to the imperial family, and the emperor even thought about how to make such a political deal with Xiao Taishi.

But that day, in the small court meeting in the Qianxin Palace, Xiao Taishi proposed to build a new Zhongyi Battalion, and even recommended Han Cang as the commander of the Zhongyi Battalion, which made the emperor wonder whether the Xiao family was selling favors to the Han family, and was ready to turn enemies into friends with the Han family and take refuge in the Han family.

If this were the case, the emperor would be surprised, but not surprised.

Because from ancient times to the present, there will never be a real friend in the court, nor will there be a real enemy.

With the changes in the current situation, today's friends may be mortal enemies tomorrow, and today's enemies may also turn hostility into jade silk tomorrow and become brothers who are as close as flesh and blood.

This list made the emperor completely understand that this old fox really saw that the situation was not good, and he threw himself into the Han family.

Such news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the emperor.

The old fox is certainly able to bend and stretch.

The emperor and Xiao Taishi have been dealing with each other for many years, and the monarchs and ministers also know each other quite well, in the eyes of the emperor, Xiao Taishi is by no means a person who surrenders, even if he wants to choose a backer, then he will vote for the side of the royal family.

But the truth is exactly the opposite of what he thought.

If the Xiao family really votes under the Han family, then the only remaining four families in the DPRK and China will join forces, and the royal family will also face unprecedented challenges.

……

"Taishi recommended Han Xince as a minister?" The emperor put down his fold and looked up at Xiao Taishi, although his heart was full of shock, his face was still extremely calm.

Whoosh, countless eyes looked at Taishi Xiao in shock, and Han Mo, who was still kneeling under His Highness, was also extremely surprised and frowned.

Han Xuandao and Han Xuanchang exchanged a look, and they both remained calm.

Han Xince, the left attendant of the ministry, was also in the court at this time, and when he heard his name, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and looked up at the emperor in a daze.

Xiao Taishi said respectfully: "Back to the saint, the old minister is to recommend Han Xince, the left servant of the ministry, as the minister. Han Xince has been in the Ministry of Officials for many years, and as Su Guanya's deputy, he is conscientious and conscientious, and he is also very familiar with the regulations of the Ministry of Officials. Now that Su Guanya is dead, Han Xince's prestige in the Ministry of Officials is the highest, whether it is a talent or a person, Han Xince is a well-deserved candidate for the Ministry of Officials. ”

The emperor was expressionless and set his eyes on Han Xince.

Before the emperor could speak, Taishi Xiao had already continued: "This list is drawn up by the old minister personally, if the saint thinks it is appropriate, the cabinet will discuss and finalize the candidate. After a pause, he said calmly: "There is only one thing, the cabinet has discussed it, but it has reached an agreement. ”

"What?"

"The Volcano Battalion and the Fengxiang Battalion were reorganized, and the two battalions were combined into one battalion, and the name was changed to the Zhongyi Battalion." Taishi Xiao said slowly, "The candidate for the commander of the Zhongyi Battalion, after discussion by the cabinet, can be served by Han Cang, the former Volcano Battalion Protector!" ”

Many courtiers gasped.

Taishi Xiao made a move and made a surprise speech.

Han Cang, who had a gloomy face, was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his eyes flashed with a strange light, and the two hands that were already clenching their fists were even tightened for a while, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.

The two battalions were combined into one battalion, and excluding the Royal Forest Army who died in battle, there were still nearly 8,000 people.

The five battalions of the Imperial Forest are all in 5,000, and the newly built Zhongyi Battalion is as high as 8,000, which has suddenly become the strongest Imperial Forest Army.

And most importantly, almost all the generals of these two battalions at the rank of lieutenant have been executed, and the generals have formed a vacuum, if they accept such a royal army, then they can be controlled in the shortest possible time, and they can take the opportunity to vigorously promote their cronies.

Thinking of this, Han Cang's heart actually rose with a sense of excitement.

Today, Chaohui, the emperor first kept Zhao Xiqiao, and then canonized Han Xuanling with ulterior motives, everything went well, but then, he encountered severe challenges in a row.

The strategy of canonizing Han Mo to ascend and descend in the dark is no longer feasible.

Xiao Taishi moved out of Han Xince to serve as the minister, and at this time, he directly took out the matter of building a new loyal camp agreed by the cabinet, and recommended Han Cang as the commander.

These few things, but they are extremely difficult to deal with.

Han Xince served as the minister, not to mention that he had the strong support of the Han clan behind him, and most importantly, as soon as Su Guanya died, Han Xince, who was the left servant of the ministry, was really the best candidate.

If the Xiao family and the Han family compete against each other and oppose Han Xince as the minister, then it is possible to prevent the position of the minister from falling into the hands of the Han family, but now the Xiao family not only shows a supportive attitude, but also is personally recommended by Xiao Taishi, so this matter is already difficult to deal with.

Han Xince's prestige and official position, it was very reasonable to take over the ministry at that time, coupled with the support of the forces in the DPRK and China, the emperor wanted to oppose it, but he couldn't come up with a reason to convince the public.

As for the matter of the Zhongyi battalion, the family had already raised it in the previous small court meeting, and the political transaction between the two sides was very straightforward, and if they wanted to keep the two battalions from being abolished, they changed the name of the joint camp and set up Han Cang as the commander.

Otherwise, the family would have joined forces to force the emperor to dismantle the two battalions and distribute the two battalions of soldiers to various places.

There are many close courtiers of the emperor in the court, and they know that if Han Xince and Han Cang both succeed in ascending the throne today, then the Han family will become the first family of Dayan without dispute, and its strength will also become the biggest threat to the imperial family.

The Su family perished, the Xiao family compromised with the Han family, and the short-term three-legged momentum in the court has disappeared.

The royal family has the name of orthodoxy, and even if the Han family's power has skyrocketed, it is impossible for them to be stupid enough to plot to usurp the throne and put themselves in the situation of usurping the country that everyone shouts and beats.

However, the Han family can rely on the powerful power in their hands to compete with the royal family, gather the strength of other families, control the government, and call for wind and rain.

Could it be that the power of countless dynasties will appear in the Great Yan Kingdom after several great families have withered away?
