Volume 2 The Changing Storm Chapter 87 The Imperial Power is Great
Under the same sky, the person Jiang Chengfeng's third senior brother didn't want to see at this time, Han Hui, was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in the Imperial City.
Outside Zhang Yuntao's dormitory, the drunkard took a wine jug and poured a big gulp of wine, and he heard that the guards were here, as well as Qi Can, who was a master and secret agent in the interior.
can make these two people perform the duties of guards, presumably the people who were received by Zhang Yuntao in the dormitory must have an unusual identity.
In the dormitory, Zhang Yuntao was wearing civilian clothes, his hair was simply tied up, and he looked like a young master in an ordinary family, sitting on the main seat, and a few plates of delicacies were placed in front of him, obviously holding a banquet for hospitality.
The two people sitting below are Han Hui and Zhang Yongdian, and the atmosphere at the banquet is harmonious, and they are talking happily.
"Uncle Huang," Zhang Yuntao said with a smile, "The food is still delicious?"
Zhang Yongdian immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty gave you a banquet, and the minister is grateful." ”
"Behind closed doors, the family doesn't have to be restrained. Zhang Yuntao said kindly and motioned for Zhang Yongdian to sit down.
"I have something I want to ask Uncle Huang," Han Hui suddenly said, "I hope to solve my doubts." ”
"How dare you let Han Xiang say and ask for advice. Zhang said with an allusion: "What is the matter, but what you hear, you know everything below." ”
The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw the treacherous nature under each other's appearance.
"Lu Shuai is my hand, according to what he said, you and he met in the army in the early years. Han Hui's eyes shot a fox-like evil light: "I've never heard of it." ”
"Then there is only one possibility, that is, Lu Yiping is deliberately concealing his relationship with you, right?"
Zhang Yongdian looked at Han Hui, thinking that he was really a fucking old fox, but he said: "Han Xiang is worthy of being the first wise man in my Dayue, and he hit the nail on the head." ”
In the face of Han Hui, it would be humiliating to play any more cautious tricks, it is better to go straight to the point and speak openly.
"That's right, back then, I had a lifelong friendship with Yiping in the army, but it is normal for people in the army to have several brothers in life and death, so I used this layer to cover up my true identity. ”
"After all, I was still scared. ”
"Understandable. Han Hui nodded: "Later, when I followed the first emperor to crusade against the tyrant, if you raised your arms and raised a royal flag, who would sit on this Dayue Heavenly Son, I'm afraid or say no?"
Han Hui's words were too vicious, like an invisible sword straight into Zhang Yongdian's heart, mentioning this kind of thing in front of Zhang Yuntao, Zhang Yongdian would be a big taboo if he didn't answer well.
Why is this guy targeting me like this? Zhang Yongdian was puzzled, and for no reason, he was afraid of Han Gao.
His face sank slightly, and then he wrote lightly: "Since I have devoted myself to Tongye Mountain, these things of fighting for power and profit have nothing to do with me, I just want to immerse myself in the way of martial arts for the rest of my life." ”
"Well said!" Han Hui raised his glass and said, "Uncle Huang is a person with a high realm, and his husband is indisputable, so there is no one." ”
"I'll toast you!"
Zhang Yongdian was stunned by Han Hui's sudden change in attitude, and Zhang Yuntao on the main seat said with a smile: "The prime minister will not test the imperial uncle again, look at how scared you are for him." ”
Test?
Zhang Yongdian was puzzled, but he still raised his glass and saluted Han Hui.
Zhang Yuntao also raised his glass, stepped down from the main seat, and said: "I am determined to make Uncle Huang the Marquis of Gaoyi, and in the future, I will be in charge of the exchanges between the imperial court and Tongye Mountain, what does Uncle Huang want?"
It turned out that the so-called test was that before Zhang Yuntao gave Zhang Yongdian an official promotion, Han Hui deliberately used words to trick him to test this person's reaction in the face of a critical scene.
Zhang Yongdian was stunned for a moment, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty has a trust, and the ministers dare not disobey." ”
He knew in his heart that this was Zhang Yuntao recruiting himself and killing the original envoy of Tongye Mountain, Han Hui should have told Zhang Yuntao a long time ago, and now he is named a marquis, which means that he can be regarded as a recognized member of the royal family, even if he returns to Tongye Mountain, Lan Qingfeng will have to weigh it if he wants to move him.
This doesn't take off yet?
Zhang Yongdian suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and thanked Zhang Yuntao.
Han Hui on the side looked back in his eyes, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, he tested Zhang Yongdian to be true, but what he said later was indisputable, it was a rhetoric used for sarcasm, this Zhang Yongdian was a fart indisputable, he was simply a big dispute.
This person is available, and he must also be careful, Han Hui secretly wrote it down, and after reading it, he had to find a way to suppress Zhang Yongdian.
However, judging from the previous verbal confrontation between the two, Han Hui still had the upper hand.
"Congratulations to the emperor's uncle. Han Hui raised his glass again and congratulated with a smile.
"I have one more sentence to remind Uncle Huang, your status is noble, and even Your Majesty has to call you uncle, but when it comes to seniority, you seem to be able to call Uncle Huang on the side of the thief Zhang Tianxi. ”
Zhang Yongdian really wanted to kill this guy with one palm, but reason still prevailed, and said: "Back then, Zhang Yue had no way, causing me to leave my hometown since I was a child, and I almost died on the battlefield, how could I recognize his dog son? ”
Han Hui chuckled, his narrowed eyes seemed to have seen Zhang Yongdian through, and said, "It's good that Uncle Huang has this realization, it's me who said too much." ”
"Let's both continue to sit down, the food is cold. Zhang Yuntao saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so he made a conciliatory tone.
The next topic is basically their own lala.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Yongdian bid farewell to Zhang Yuntao and Han Hui, and went out of the palace under the escort of Qi Can.
"Does the prime minister think that my insistence on rewarding Zhang Yongdian is a bit abrupt?"
Only the two monarchs and ministers remained, and the slight drunkenness on Zhang Yuntao's face turned serious, and he asked Han Hui seriously.
"No," Han Hui played with the delicate wine glass in one hand and said, "Zhang Yongdian, he has the ability, and he is the emperor's prince, it is not an exaggeration for His Majesty to give him a marquis." ”
"But after all, this person killed half of the immortals, and the position of envoy of Tongye Mountain is just his own self-determination, and His Majesty named him, but the court recognized his identity. ”
Zhang Yuntao said: "I am indeed arbitrary in this matter, but now the situation in Dayue can't help us hesitate anymore, Zhang Yongdian has the relationship of the emperor's uncle, if you can't make good use of it, it's a pity." ”
Han Hui had a hint of joy in his eyes, got up and bowed deeply to Zhang Yuntao, and said, "Your Majesty's dictatorship is the luck of the imperial court. ”
Zhang Yuntao rubbed his face and rubbed his swollen temples, he really hadn't been idle in the past two days, and the injury of the snake monarch also made him worry a lot.
"In the future, I will still have to discuss this kind of thing with my ministers, if it is because I insist on going my own way and causing great trouble, will I not become a sinner for the ages. ”
Although he is young, after all, as the Supreme of the Ninth Five, he knows better the consequences of the loss of restraint in power, not because he has reduced his authority, but because he is afraid that in addition to him and Han Hui, there will be arbitrary ministers in the Dayue court.
"Your Majesty can have this heart," Han Hui said with a smile, he became more and more satisfied with Zhang Yuntao: "The authority still has to be grasped, at most two years, I will also hand over the power to you." ”
"Huh?" Han Hui's words almost made Zhang Yuntao jump up in shock: "What does the prime minister mean, you want to retreat?"
"It's not about retreating. Han Hui shook his head and said, "It's that Your Majesty punished me for my crimes in some name and removed me from the post of prime minister." ”
"This ...... What is the prime minister's crime?" Zhang Yuntao couldn't believe his ears, he seriously doubted that Han Hui had drunk too much.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it, I'll find a suitable name for you. Han replied: "I have been in power for two dynasties, and my achievements are high, and it is very simple to do me." ”
"No!" Zhang Yuntao stood up and said excitedly: "If the prime minister feels that the affairs are heavy and his heart is exhausted, I will definitely do my best to assist you, how can I cure your crimes, isn't this forcing me to make a big mistake?"
Looking at Zhang Yuntao's appearance, Han Hui's originally smiling eyes gradually became cold, and a killing aura gushed out.
He stood up suddenly, his weak body actually had a terrifying coercion, and he stepped forward in three or two steps, and actually grabbed Zhang Yuntao's shoulder.
If you want to become a generation of heroes, in addition to recruiting talents and being good, more importantly, you must have absolute confidence and strength at all times to overthrow a high-ranking minister. ”
Han Hui has always been courteous and polite to Zhang Yuntao, which is completely different from treating the former emperor Zhang Yunlan as a brother, which also makes the two have a harmonious relationship, but they always feel that they have kept their distance.
Now that he was suddenly so rude and called him by his name, Zhang Yuntao was shocked by his momentum for a while, and just looked at him blankly.
"Your Majesty, the minister is rude. Han Hui lowered his voice, patted Zhang Yuntao's shoulder, and said slowly: "I am so disrespectful, just to let Your Majesty remember my words deeply, I have already taken too much power in the Dynasty of the First Emperor, and when Your Majesty is full-fledged, if I still have the right to invade the government and the opposition, then what will those ministers think?"
Han Hui stopped talking, and Zhang Yuntao knew that this was the space he left for himself to think.
After thinking for a while, he hesitated: "They will think that you have nullified my power, that the loyal monarch will oppose you everywhere, and that the speculators will privately sabotage and try to expand your power, profit from it, and even subvert Dayue." ”
Hearing Zhang Yuntao's opinion, Han Hui's expression finally softened.
"Your Majesty, in order to completely imprint the majesty of imperial power in everyone's hearts, it is the best way to get me, the most powerful minister, down. ”
Zhang Yuntao frowned and said, "But once the prime minister is gone, who will manage the court for me?"
"Huo Huo. ”
Han Hui said firmly.
"I cultivate these four apprentices, Jiang Chengfeng will make contributions on the battlefield in the future, maybe he can suppress one side, he may be unknown, and he may die on the battlefield, in short, His Majesty can use it, and if he can't use it, he will give him some military power and let him go to the border. ”
"Little apprentice Wenjin, wait for the minister to polish him again, and he can become the eyes of His Majesty. ”
"The three disciples Xiaoyu, he is idle and wild, don't care about him, but maybe in the future, at a critical juncture, he will lean on the pillar stone of Dayue. ”
"This Huo Fu, since the minister accepted him as a disciple, he has been cultivated as a successor, Your Majesty can rest assured, two years later, the minister will return you a Huo Prime Minister. ”
Zhang Yuntao saw the determination to sacrifice himself from Han Hui's eyes, and couldn't help but have hot eyes, turned his head away, and said in a low voice: "Then you are really wronged."
"Hahaha......" Han replied and touched his beard and laughed: "What is the word grievance? The minister, your eldest brother, and your imperial sister-in-law, have already dedicated their lives to Dayue when they rebelled against Zhang Yue, have you ever heard the dry bones in the mound talk about grievances?"
Dayue's future has long been paved by Han Hui, so why not kill yourself?
It's just that a struggle far north of the city may take the lives of the three disciples he hoped for.
