Chapter 437 On the way back to Beijing, Shang Xin was shocked!
On the eighth day of the fifth month of the 9th year of Pingguang in Yanli, the last vehicle was loaded. On the afternoon of this day, according to the road map ordered by the Ministry of War, thousands of vehicles began to advance towards Yanjing with weapons and equipment. In addition to the nearly 2,000 imperial guards under Han Mo, more than 1,000 city guards assigned by the local area were responsible for this transportation, and thousands of civilians were also equipped with extremely large teams, extending more than ten miles long. Compared with the grain protection team led by Han Mo that day, the team this time was obviously much more spectacular and huge.
The people who saw him off were also extremely large. A large number of officials led by Situ Jing sent him more than ten miles along the way, fully expressing his respect for General Han Mo and Han.
"Your official position may not be very stable!" Han Mo and Situ Jing whispered alone, their voices very indifferent: "But after this, Lord Situ should know what can be done and what cannot be done!"
Situ Jing knew that his fate and future were now in Han Mo's hands. To put it bluntly, he would be a chess piece of the Han family in the future, so he could only show enough respect to Han Mo: "General Han, don't worry, Situ Jing understands the general's intention...but...!" He lowered his voice: "General Han, how much you have to do depends on how much power you have in your hands..."
Han Mo sneered coldly: "What? You have been fooled with the He family for so many years and have not died this time. You should burn incense and worship Buddha. Do you still want to keep your high-ranking official and generous salary?"
"I dare not!" Situ Jing saw Han Mo's beautiful but cold face, and felt a little creepy in her heart: "It's just... it's just to be loyal to the general...!"
Han Mo said lightly: "It is to be loyal to the court... Lord Situ, sometimes you should be more cautious when you speak, but don't be removed from your head because you say the wrong thing!"
"Yes, yes!" Situ Jing felt that he was talking to the little Hell, and cold sweats popped out from time to time.
Now, Situ Jing is afraid of Han Mo from the bottom of her heart. In the midst of the ups and downs, a huge family of aristocratic families was destroyed by him. This skill is unbelievable.
"Actually... Lord Situ is alive, and he has a chance!" Han Mo saw Situ Jing look in panic and knew that he should pay equal attention to kindness and power when dealing with such a person.
If Situ Jing can really become a chess piece of the Han family honestly, then keeping Situ Jing will be equivalent to having the lead in Yichun's strength distribution.
Situ Jing is naturally a capricious person who can betray the He family. For such a person, he must be careful even if he wants to use it. The prerequisite for preventing this person is naturally to make this person feel awe of the Han family.
"Please give advice to General Han!" After hearing that he had the chance, Situ Jing immediately bent his body slightly.
Han Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "Speaking of this, the eastern part of Yichun has formed a vacuum, the He family has been eradicated, and other forces have not come yet... Now in Yichun County, you are still the highest commander. At this time... you should know more than me what to do!"
Situ Jing frowned slightly. Han Mo's words were not verbal. He thought about it carefully for a moment and finally understood what Han Mo meant.
There is no doubt that he is still the highest commander in Yichun. Although he has no right to make decisions on many official positions, he, as the county magistrate, can be assigned to some important positions at the bottom.
When the He family existed, the political management of the eastern part of Yichun was almost completely controlled by the He family. Now that the He family has been eliminated, many official positions are vacant. Even if some of the lower-level official positions are still present, Situ Jing, as a county magistrate, was fully capable of carrying out administrative re-arrangement during this period of power vacuum.
It is completely possible to install some confidant officials without showing any mountains or water.
What the royal family and aristocratic families competed for was only high-end power in the local area. Too much lower-level power, they would not be calculating for a while. If Situ Jing planted the roots here, it would naturally be very beneficial to his personal future.
"Only with roots can we grow branches and leaves!" Han Mo saw that Situ Jing had understood what he meant and whispered: "And... you have done a good job here, and your official position may not be able to be saved... After I return to Beijing, I will try my best to persuade the family and strive to retain the greatest power for you in the court...!"
Situ Jing was overjoyed when she heard this and bowed deeply: "The officials should devote themselves to their dedication to repay the general's kindness!"
"You still have to take care of everything yourself." Han Mo smiled: "Don't worry, I have destroyed all the things in He Xuezhi's study that are not good for you. Don't worry, just do things... I believe that even if someone really comes to check you, I won't find much. Although you are close to the He family before,... that's because of official business, no wonder you...!"
Situ Jing had a more flattering smile on her face, but she felt bitter and hard to bear.
There is no reason why Han Mo said that he could not hear what Han Mo said. Han Mo kept saying that the evidence had been destroyed, and that he would not believe it if he killed Situ Jing. The evidence was a trump card and a powerful weapon to control Situ Jing. Han Mo could not destroy it.
Han Mo's words reminded him to be honest and not to have any other thoughts.
"Mr. Situ, Han Mo is a very particular person." Han Mo glanced at Situ Jing and looked at the long-distance convoy moving forward slowly. "I don't like threatening others. My favorite way of doing things is to work with friends to benefit the country... So, I don't think Lord Situ won't let me down!"
Situ Jing's eyes flashed and she finally bowed: "General Han is talking about it. Xiaguan must be a good friend of General Han!"
Han Mo smiled and said nothing more, he went up to turn over the horse and lifted the blood copper stick. He looked heroic. He was a young general who shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse like an arrow, and soon rushed to the front of the convoy.
Situ Jing looked at Han Mo's back as he was leaving, and suddenly found that his forehead was a little cold. He reached out and touched it, and then he found that there was a cold sweat on his forehead at some point.
"The sinister and cunning little king of hell!" Situ Jing thought to himself.
...
...
The convoy was protected by thousands of officers and soldiers, and the convoy was very smooth along the way. After a few days, I stopped and stopped. The convoy did not look too tired, and it was getting closer and closer to Yanjing City.
The transport of weapons and equipment is not to worry that someone would set fire to the fire last time. It has sunny these days, but the road is easy to walk. Xue Shao and Xiao Mu are also responsible for the escort and rest affairs of the convoy, so Han Mo is very relaxed.
At this time, the supervisor Ling Lei had a contradictory mentality. In Yichun for more than a month, he was happy and surprised. He received courtesy and flattery that he had never received before, and even enjoyed the luxurious time he could not enjoy in Yanjing. Later, he was threatened by He Xuezhi to put him under house arrest, which was extremely miserable.
Now that I have returned to Yanjing and have returned to the deacon in the palace, I have no longer had the scenery of Yichun. Thinking about it, I feel very disappointed, so I am not very energetic along the way.
Power is obsessed with it. Even though he didn't have any real power when he was in Yichun, his official power had already made him indescribable.
Han Mo also had an unusual feeling in his heart at this moment.
Escape from Yichun's death even destroyed the He family. From the bottom of my heart, I was still a little proud. If there was no problem, it would be no problem to return to Beijing this time and become an official and a title.
He missed his family and was even more worried about Aunt Bi's condition. Monk Xuanji didn't know whether he would cure Aunt Bi's treatment, but no news has been heard.
In addition, he was still concerned about the safety of Zhu Xiaoyan and Han Qing. It had been several months since the two people had not heard any news, which made him feel extremely uneasy.
Han Mo believed in Zhu Xiaoyan's ability, and even Han Qing's ability. These two people can be said to be the strongest ace in Han Mo's hands. It is precisely because of this that he sent these two guys to do that very dangerous thing.
In his opinion, it was not too difficult for those two people to steal two rare medicinal materials from Fengguo with their abilities and means. But he didn't expect that things would have developed to this point now.
According to normal circumstances, even if there is a problem, the two of them will release news. After all, Han Qing has been training with him since childhood and knows how to send messages to fly pigeons. However, until today, there has been no news, which also vaguely shows that the two are in danger.
This is something Han Mo couldn't accept. If the two strongest guys under him lost their lives like this, he might be angry for a long time, sad for a long time, and even more guilt for a long time!
Of course, what gave him the most headache was that this time he returned to Beijing. If there were no accidents, he would face the trouble of a big wedding.
The wedding to a woman he had never met was a remedial marriage that made him feel a little disgusted, which made him feel bad.
The closer he was to Jing, the more urgent he felt, but the more bored he felt. The look on his face was very bad, which made Eunuch Ling, who had opened the curtains several times, wanted to talk to him and stopped talking, and shrank back.
Han Mo finally caught a glimpse of Ling Lei's movement in the carriage beside him. Although the eunuch would go back to the palace obediently after returning to the capital, Han Mo knew that he should not underestimate this eunuch. After all, he was a man from the palace. Many news that outsiders didn't know was this little eunuch, so he didn't care about the cumbersome things in his heart for the time being, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ling, you have worked hard this time... After returning to the capital, the emperor will definitely be rewarded!"
Ling Lei hurriedly pulled up the curtains, poked his head out, and smiled and said, "General Han, you are riding a horse with great bumps. Why don't you come in and sit down and have a good rest..."
Han Mo originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Ling Lei's eyes flashing, as if he had something to say, he smiled and said, "I'm just about to take a break, so I'm going to squeeze in with Lord Ling!"
Ling Lei immediately showed excitement.
He got off the horse and handed the blood copper stick and the horse to his subordinates. Then he got on the carriage and sat down opposite Ling Lei. Ling Lei smiled and said, "General Han, this time the matter was completed successfully. I... Well, we have to thank General Han for his support!"
Han Mo waved his hand and smiled, "You are kind to Lord Ling. Speaking of which, this time, Lord Ling helped Han Mo, otherwise it would not be so smooth..." He reached out and closed the curtains of the carriage. The carriage was slightly darker, but it was still clear and bright. He took out a few silver notes from his arms, stuffed them into Ling Lei's hand, and whispered: "Mr. Ling, take this little silver, drink tea with you..."
Ling Lei hurriedly retreated: "I dare not, General Han, we can't ask for it..."
Han Mo frowned and said, "Mr. Ling, I treat you as a friend. If you don't accept it, you will look down on me, Han Mo...!"
Ling Lei was moved when he heard the exciting word "friend" and then took it. He looked at it and was shocked. It was a thousand taels of silver. Not to mention drinking tea, it would be no problem to buy several teahouses. He lowered his voice and said in surprise: "General Han..."
"You have to spend some money in the palace," Han Mo smiled and said, "With Master Ling's talent, a mere messy man, is a useless person... I open up some joints and let the inner court chief or the empress say a few words to you behind your back, and you always move upwards!"
Eunuch Ling's eyes turned red for a moment. He deeply felt that the young general of the aristocratic family really regarded himself as a friend. The warmth that he had never felt was flowing all over his body. He couldn't help but put away the silver. He actually held Han Mo's hand and sighed: "General Han, you are so kind and righteous. You love our family so much. Even if we go through fire and water, we must repay General Han's great kindness!"
Han Mo was shook his hand. Although he was very depressed, it was difficult to push it away. He whispered: "Mr. Ling, the word "friend" has a profound meaning, which means to help each other... If you have any use of Han Mo in the future, even if you speak, you will never refuse as long as you can!"
Eunuch Ling immediately said, "General Han, if you have instructions, just say something, our family will have nothing to say..." His face turned red, obviously extremely excited.
He had never experienced the "friendship" that Han Mo gave him in the palace, and felt it was more and more precious. His gratitude to Han Mo at this time had really reached its peak. He made up his mind to make good friends with Han Mo, do his best, and do some things for Han Mo in the future.
As if to express my gratitude to Han Mo, Eunuch Ling lowered his voice and said, "General Han, there is something that shouldn't be our family, but since General Han treats me as a friend, our family will meet with General Han honestly..."
Han Mo said without hesitation and said with a smile: "What does Lord Ling mean?"
Eunuch Ling approached and lowered his voice, "General Han, we accidentally heard a word once..." At this point, he was silent for a moment, looked around and said in a lower voice, "It was Concubine Xiao who said he wanted to find an opportunity to kill Concubine Han Shu..."
When Han Mo heard this, he immediately frowned.
Concubine Han Shu is Han Shu and Han Mo's cousin.
Han Mo knew that the harem was another battlefield for the aristocratic families, and the fierce struggle was no less than the court struggle. The empresses of each aristocratic family naturally tried their best to fight in the harem.
He naturally knew better that Concubine Xiao was now the host of the harem, and was very arrogant. He thought in his heart that he would get rid of other noble ladies, which was something that many people knew very well.
But since Eunuch Ling could hear Concubine Xiao say that in person, it means that Concubine Xiao’s resentment towards Concubine Han Shu was at its peak, and then a eunuch heard him speak without hesitation. From a certain perspective, Concubine Xiao is probably really going to murder Concubine Han Shu in the harem.
It seems that this time I returned to Beijing, I would attack and see Concubine Shu and remind her to be careful of Concubine Xiao's vicious plan.
"Mr. Ling, you really treat me as a friend..." Han Mo smiled and gently patted Ling Lei on the shoulder. There was no doubt that having this eunuch in the palace would mean that he had eyes and ears in the palace.
He hopes that Eunuch Ling can really use this money to climb up, so that this eunuch will be of greater use to him in the future.
...
From Xichun City to the dusk of the fifth day, we had already seen the outline of Yanjing City from afar. The journey was very smooth. At this time, when we saw Yanjing City, the convoy accelerated its speed.
Han Mo rode on the horse and looked ahead. From a distance, he saw a group of people in front of him, black and white. He knew that he was coming out of the city to greet the officials, so he immediately urged him to come forward. Xue Shao, Xiao Mu and several imperial cavalrymen followed quickly.
As the crowd approached, there were more than a dozen officials, most of them civil servants, one of which was very conspicuous. It was Dou Shan, the lieutenant of the archery troop of the Leopard Camp.
This group of officials looked very strange. The civil servants had a white burlap tied around their waists. Dou Shan, who was a military general, actually had a white streamer tied to his leopard helmet.
Han Mo rushed towards him and turned over and dismounted. The officials came up one after another, bowing, but they didn't say anything for a moment. Dou Shan came forward and bowed. His face, which was smiling in Sunri, seemed extremely sad at this moment.
Han Mo frowned, bowed his hand and asked softly, "Sir, what's wrong with this...?"
Dou Shan looked at Han Mo, and his eyes turned red: "Mr. Commander... has passed away!"
