Everyone wants a Qingluo umbrella, which means the peak of the ministers. For military generals, although the Privy Council is ranked last among the prime ministers, it is already the highest position that military officials can reach now.

Even for a civil servant, such as Pu Zongmeng, or the vast majority of important officials in the political discussion, this is what they dream of.

But Wang Hou was not surprised at all, but instead had a deep doubt, "Is it necessary?"

"Duke Lu was fighting the army - he was the prime minister by quelling the rebellion; although Feng Dangshi did not ask about military affairs, he was mostly pretending to be stupid now; it was impossible for his family to ignore the ownership of military power. Even if I divided the legislative and judicial power, as long as the military power is still in the hands of the prime minister, many people would not be at ease."

"If necessary, I will take it as a matter of course. But Yukun..." Wang Hou thought about the words and seemed a little hesitant, but he soon became firm. "There is no need for you and my brother to go around more. Is it necessary to be involved in others? Is it necessary for me? Or, what are you worried about?"

He grasped the key in one hand. Wang Hou is indeed sensitive, or perhaps his attitude is too straightforward.

Han Gang had a little headache because of Wang Hou's identity, the degree of this was not so easy to grasp. If it were in the past, Han Gang could have grasped the importance of the severity, but after being prime minister for ten years, he had encountered less and less current situations, and was completely unfamiliar with the skills to say good things while ensuring the other party's mood.

Since Xizong passed away, even the empress dowager did not need Han Gang to worry more about her mood. In most cases, the other party carefully considered Han Gang's mood.

Seeing Han Gang's hesitation, Wang Hou's face dimmed a little, but did not give up asking, "If I take office as the Secret Court, I will definitely not be able to take over the imperial guards. Wang Shunchen is a new entry into the capital, and no one can bear it. Are you afraid that Zhang Dun will recommend me to the Secret Court?"

Han Gang needs Wang Hou, but Zhang Dun definitely hopes to weaken Han Gang's influence in the imperial guards. If Zhang Dun or others recommend Wang Hou to the Privy Council, and Wang Hou has some desire for cool umbrellas, if Han Gang opposes, it is likely that the in-laws will rebel.

Han Gang did not object, and it was only if Wang Hou did not enter the Privy Council, a few rumors could cause them to crack. If Han Gang was trapped in the situation and did not stop him, Wang Hou would really become a member of the Privy Council, which would be even more good for most people.

In Wang Hou's aggressive gaze, Han Gang finally sighed, "Yes. Instead of waiting for someone to take action, I might as well take the lead and not the others."

"Just say it straight." Wang Hou's eyes were filled with a little depression and anger of being humiliated. "Yu Kun, it's actually enough to say it straight."

Han Gang felt a little regretful in his heart, which should have been said more tactfully.

He owed his body and apologized to Wang Hou: "I'm thinking too much... But I really need a general in the Western Palace. In the past, there was an emperor, but now there is no emperor. It could not be left at that time, but now it cannot be left."

Wang Hou was silent for a while, then nodded. It was hard to tell whether it was for Han Gang's seemingly reluctant apology or for the later passage of Han Gang.

But Wang Hou was indeed very clear that in the current situation, it was necessary to take out a letter to the Privy Council just to appease the military generals in the court.

Even if the military generals are inferior to the civil servants, when the emperor is here, at least they still feel that they are bullied by the civil servants, and the emperor can at least give justice. The civil officials actually do not have much power to restrain high-level military generals. The Third Class Court only cares about the small envoys, and the judges are just ambassadors. When they come to the envoys of the various departments and higher-level military commands, their personnel power is completely in the hands of the emperor. The civil officials can find many reasons to make a general fall, but as long as the emperor has an idea, the general can make a comeback.

Di Qing suffered such a great grievance back then, so Xizong finally gave compensation to the Di family. But if it were a civil servant, starting with Wen Yanbo, which civil servant had regretted it for the past?

But now there is no emperor, and even if the replacement of the three yamen army is in the hands of the prime ministers, it will fall into the hands of the prime ministers. When there is no chance to stand out and no replies to the grievances, the rift between the generals and civil officials will become deeper and deeper, and all this will inevitably erupt when encountering a suitable opportunity.

Therefore, a pressure relief valve is needed to relieve pressure, and we must also inform the generals that even if there is no emperor to decide, the civil servants have not fulfilled their intentions.

"Can it be Yan Fengchen?" Wang Hou asked.

"Since you can't let Chu Dao enter the Secret Court, who else can be qualified?" Han Gang said, "Guo Kui has retired, Zhong Yan is dead, and the famous generals in the court can still be firmly above the generals of Wang Jingsheng's generation. Yan Da is the only one who can stay above Wang Jingsheng's generation."

"It's true that only Yan Fengchen."

From Han Gang's words, Wang Hou could hear that his original intention was to make Yan Da the only military general in the Privy Council.

What would Hangang do if he nodded just now?

Should I try to give up this idea, or should I follow the flow and push myself to the West Prefecture - anyway, with Hangang's means, he will definitely find other ways to make up for it.

Yes. Anyway, with Hangang's means, no matter what situation he encounters, he will eventually get what he wants.

Wang Hou came back to his senses in the chaotic and even angry thoughts, and found that he had been silent for a long time. Han Gang's pair of calm black eyes seemed to be bringing all his thoughts into his eyes.

"But you can also reward the three armies..." Wang Hou casually found the topic.

"No, this is not suitable." Han Gang said absolutely.

When the emperor ascends the throne, there will be rewards; when the emperor becomes the emperor, there will be rewards; when the emperor becomes the crown prince, there will be rewards; when the emperor worships the heaven, there will be rewards.

But now the emperor is banned and the slaughter is quite powerful. What are you doing to reward the three armies?

This is no longer jumping into the mud pit, but into the cesspool.

"The focus now is to appease the military ministers, not to buy soldiers. As long as the military ministers are stable, if the soldiers below dare to cause trouble, one will be dealt with."

Han Gang used a "disposal" without evil spirits, but Wang Hou could already imagine what the outcome would be for those soldiers who wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Whenever the new king ascended the throne and needed to reward the three armies, there were rumors that the court was preparing to give a large reward, gold, silver, and copper coins would flow out of the national treasury like water.

When Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne in the past, there were rumors that gold would be hidden in the wine and food rewarded by the court; when Zi ascended the throne today, there were rumors that the empress dowager and prime minister were preparing to fill the treasury in order to calm the people's hearts.

These rumors have made the expectations of the whole capital camp high. When the actual reward is not as good as expectation, the soldiers and gangsters will start to cause trouble with other soldiers. These rumors have been spread to threaten the court to give more rewards.

"They are in trouble." Wang Hou laughed deliberately. The laughter slightly diluted the embarrassment just now.

"It's not a problem." Han Gang also smiled, relaxed a little. The nervousness he had just now was very unfamiliar with and unaccustomed to. "When everything is solved now, there will be a major operation on the army." Han Gang used a very innovative word, but it is not difficult to understand. "I hope you can help me at that time."

"Imperial Guard?" Wang Hou asked in surprise.

"The Empress Dowager was recuperating in the palace, and she would not make any changes in the imperial guards."

Even if the empress dowager is in the palace, Ban Zhi will continue to obey the empress dowager. When the empress dowager is gone, then who will control Ban Zhi will be the key.

Seeing that Han Gang was not so arrogant that he was shattering himself, Wang Hou breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I should serve you."

………………………………………

"Mr.

Han Gang sent Wang Hou back, and Zong Ze was already standing in the study.

"Sit." At midnight, I met many people in succession, but Han Gang was still not tired and spoke gently. "You are busy with the preparations for the Grand Council and have asked you to meet people. It's really hard."

Zong Ze sat down as he said, "I dare not, this is Zong Ze's internal affairs."

"Have you met Li Xian?" Han Gang also sat down.

"I've seen it. But Li Xian still wants to go out to serve as an official and is unwilling to stay in the capital."

After Zong Ze finished speaking, he looked at Han Gang anxiously.

Han Gang and Zhang Dun both hope that Li Xian could assist Wang Zhongzheng in the capital. After all, they had been to southern Xinjiang together and could be trustworthy, but Li Xian was still unwilling to serve in the capital.

However, Li Xian did not resign and said that he would retire, but hoped that Zong Ze could tell Han Gang that due to his past friendship, he could have more than a few more years of external service.

Zong Ze felt Li Xian's decision and no longer forced him to accept Han Gang's plan. On the one hand, he felt that the forced melon was not sweet, and forcing Li Xian to accept it would leave behind any future troubles. On the other hand, he also felt that Li Xian's choice should be respected.

"Smart people." Han Gang sighed.

If Li Xian resigns and dies, he will inevitably be said to be dissatisfied and angers the prime ministers. It is difficult to think about quietness.

If it was just a foreign position, Han Gang would not treat him badly because of his past relationship.

"Ru Lin," Han Gang asked, "Look at how Lee Xian should arrange it."

Zong Ze said: "Although Li Xian is a man from Xing Yu, he has served the country and has never lost the court. It is not advisable to lose the court."

Han Gang nodded happily. Zong Ze did not discriminate against eunuchs innately, which made Han Gang very appreciative. In fact, the proportion of treacherous and slandered among eunuchs is not higher than that among literati. The reason why they are always hostile to literati is just because they are mostly on the side of the emperor and consider things for the emperor. There is always a gap between the literati and literati.

"Although Li Xian was disabled, his heart was not broken. He had once opened up the country and opened up territory. He was a dignified and upright man. He was always better than the eunuch who was afraid of the thief. He should not be treated unfairly. But..." Han Gang became difficult again, "It's difficult to arrange."

What is an eunuch? He is a slave of the emperor.

Serve the emperor inside, and be the emperor when he goes out.

Now that the emperor has been made into a decoration, the empress dowager retreated to the palace to recuperate, and all power is in the hands of his ministers, and the eunuchs have lost their foothold.

Unless he can become the prime minister's hand in the palace like Wang Zhongzheng, he can only go to the two ways of staying in the palace or being a commoner.

From the perspective of the prime ministers, although they still want to accept all kinds of support and make the eyes and ears of these emperors their eyes and ears, it is only the position of the scholar-officials, that they must withdraw these eunuchs.

If Hangang now wants to arrange a eunuch as an official in the local area, there will definitely be a rebound in the local area. As long as the state and county council is established, it will never be willing to be lonely.

Zong Ze said: "In fact, it is enough to be a palace. According to Ze, Li Xian's words are just to explain the doubts of his grandfather, and they are not an official."

Han Gang nodded: "I know this."

Li Xian may not really want to serve as an official outside, but just expressed his attitude of not wanting to mix any right and wrong. Letting him serve as a palace official in Taiyi Palace and Yuqing Palace to support his elderly care is a good solution.

But Han Gang felt that it was inappropriate to do this. "Li Xianfei is not talented and innocent, so he should not be released into the palace. If he does good deeds, he cannot fail to have a good result, right?"

Reward and punishment are suitable for the public, which is the principle of rule.

And he also had to take into account Wang Zhongzheng's thoughts to prevent Wang Zhongzheng from tragicting the fox from tragic death. Han Gang did not express this sentence clearly.

"If Li Xian is allowed to serve in prefectures and counties, or walk on the road, it will affect the reputation of the minister. Moreover, the placement of Li Xian will be a system for future generations. Although there are not many officials in the palace, there are dozens of people. Today, Li Xian will go out alone, and tomorrow, dozens of people will go out."

"Most of them still don't leave. The palace needs people, but they won't enter in the future." After looking at Zong Ze, Han Gang said, "A person who has no faults will be stolen from his body. Even if he needs to be driven into eunuchs, he will still use foreign razor in the future. It is not appropriate to use Han people. Regardless of this, this will happen in the future. In addition to Li Xian, there are indeed some internal officials who are inconvenient to stay in the palace and are also inconvenient to arrange them in prefectures and counties."

Zong Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I remember Cheng Fang once managed the military farming affairs."

"Silting the fields. Driving the Yellow River water in Hebei." Han Gang corrected and nodded again. This idea is good. It is indeed a way to create a job in labor service and let eunuchs participate in management. They are much more talented than many scholars and officials.

"The subordinates of the Secretary of the Central Committee can indeed participate in the affairs of internal officials, but this is a hard work."

"But participating in the construction will inevitably dispatch military and civilians, I'm afraid..."

"It's okay." Han Gang laughed. There was still a need to worry about the eunuchs launching a rebellion outside. "This generation is not afraid of going out..." He thought about it again, "Wang Zhongzheng's son will also make arrangements together at that time."

“…Which one?”

"Ask Wang Zhongzheng."

Wang Zhongzheng had two sons, one was an adopted son who was left in the palace, and the other was also an adopted son. He was just adopted by him. He was actually Wang Zhongzheng's nephew. Because of Wang Zhongzheng's contribution and status, both of them were grateful. Anyone who went out to do things can do it.

"Yes." Zong Ze nodded.

"How are the preparations for the Grand Parliament preparatory meeting?"

Zong Ze said: "Everything is ready, just wait for everyone to arrive."
