Solvay is a tumbler in the officialdom.

I think back when the old emperor was conspired to be murdered by Yang Shou and Yang Su in the Renshou Palace. All the old emperor's senior officials were under suspicion. Gao Jiong was the first to be killed by Yang Shou, but he has always stood firm. This has a lot to do with his smooth conduct.

.

Yang Shou had discussed the matter of Qin Hu with him many times. He knew why he approached him instead of the officials, because he never took sides and had little contact with the nobles of Longxi.

After the Yang Xuangan incident, Yang Shou became more and more suspicious of powerful families and was afraid that they would form cliques, so he wanted to take the opportunity to weaken their power. However, at this time, Qin Hu had made great achievements and had to reward him, but he was worried that the reward would be too heavy.

, create another Yang Xuangan.

He had previously discussed with Pei Ju, Pei Yun, Dugu Ba Yu Zhongwen, Minister of Civil Affairs Wang Jinglong, Minister of the Imperial Academy Du Guotai, and Guanglu doctor Guo Yan, but their opinions were surprisingly similar. They all advocated handing over military power to Qin Hu and letting Qin Hu

He was fully responsible for the entire Yu Dynasty's suppression of bandits.

Among them, the attitude of Wei Yunqi of the Wei family made him the most unhappy. He actually advocated that Qin Hu be allowed to serve as the eastern capital and fully control all the military power in the eastern part of the empire. He would lead Zhang Xutuo and others to eliminate banditry in the three provinces of Hebei, Henan, and Shandong in one fell swoop, and then return to the east.

March into Jianghuai, because these two areas are currently the most violent.

It's not that Yang Shou doesn't trust Qin Hu, but that he no longer trusts the Guanlong nobles.

What kind of place is Dongdu? More than half of the officials of the entire Yu Dynasty had their families in Dongdu, and there were also three major granaries to guard them.

If he really did what Wei Yunqi said, it would be equivalent to handing over half of the country to Qin Hu. Once the overall situation changed, Qin Hu would sit in the Eastern Capital and raise his arms, and the entangled nobles of Guanlong and Guanlong who were in-laws would

Just like he defected to Yang Xuangan, he quickly gathered around Qin Hu, and the three provinces would completely fall into his control, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, Yang Shou thought that Wei Yunqi was confused. He would rather hand over the Eastern Capital to someone like Fan Zigai, who has no powerful background, than use Qin Hu.

Pei Ju and Pei Yun fully advocated handing over the Xiaoguo Army, which had expanded to 20,000 people, to Qin Hu. Their reason was that there was also a rebellion in Guanzhong and was threatening to start a prairie fire. Chang'an needed capable people to guard it, and the Xiaoguo Army

The commander must be the strongest in the empire.

At present, there is no one more suitable than Qin Hu.

Yang Shou told them that the Xiaoguo Army was currently staying in Dongdu, and he had no plans to return to Shangjing, and Sima Dekan also expressed his unwillingness to delegate power, so the matter could only be shelved.

Pei Ju and Pei Yun did not dare to speak.

Because these two people immediately realized another thing, that is, the emperor would probably not leave the Eastern Capital in a short time. First, he had to monitor the three provinces to suppress bandits, and second, he had to guard the Grand Canal. Once the war situation

If something changes, the emperor will most likely take refuge in his favorite place, Jiangdu.

The Xiaoguo Army is his lifeblood, and he will carry it with him wherever he goes.

The emperor's attitude alerted Pei Ju, and he immediately proposed that Qin Hu be made the minister of Guanglu Temple.

The minister of Guanglu Temple was in a position where he could make a fortune, which was similar to the later director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was responsible for palace procurement. To be more specific, he was the head of the palace supply department, which was the emperor's steward.

But Yang Shou was still unwilling. He felt that if Qin Hu was hung up, it would chill the hearts of the soldiers and make him, the emperor, unjust.

As soon as Su Wei arrived, he immediately realized the emperor's holy will. He advocated that Qin Hu be appointed as the Minister of War, because everyone knew that Qin Hu and Yu Shiji had conflicts.

If Qin Hu is allowed to take up this official position, with his rescue efforts and strong background, he can contain Tang Guogong's Taiyuan Army in Beijing, and can also take away some of Yu Shiji's rights. Then the emperor can balance it by staying in the Eastern Capital.

The situation of the DPRK is as stable as Mount Tai.

The monarch and his minister hit it off immediately.

Su Wei pretended to ponder for a long time, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of my veterans, since ancient times, the heroes and generals who have made great achievements have always been jealous of the officials, often attracting villains to add insult to injury and shamelessly plot against them.

Therefore, the rewards of gold, silver, official positions, land, and property to kings throughout the ages were secondary. Only through marriage can the king and his ministers be harmonious, trust each other, and gain what they cannot."

"So the old minister believes that based on the merits of General Qin, the emperor should make the decision and choose a daughter from the royal family to be his consort. This will swear that the emperor loves General Qin deeply and stop Youyou from talking about it. In this way, the emperor will be very lucky and the country will be very lucky.

, General Qin can also be a rich man with peace of mind."

Su Wei's meaning is not crude. If you open the history books, you can see that nine out of ten generals who have made great achievements since ancient times will marry a princess or princess in their family. This approach can make both parties feel at ease, and it can also make outsiders feel at ease.

There are fewer opportunities to sow discord and stir up trouble.

In fact, this is what Yang Shou meant, but he just said it through Su Wei's mouth.

"Go on!" Yang Shou was noncommittal and seemed to be thinking.

Su Wei handed over his hand: "Besides, the veteran also thought that General Qin, General Huzi, was very knowledgeable about military matters and should be promoted and reused in this area. He just went out of the town to cure the scabies disease, instead of taking charge of a large scale.

Improving military equipment will serve as the foundation for this dynasty in the future."

"It's just that the old minister also thinks that General Qin is not as young as the weak crown. He still needs a period of experience in trivial affairs of the Ministry of War. He is also worried that the officials of the Ministry of War are dissatisfied and constrain each other. Therefore, the old minister thinks whether General Qin can serve as our dynasty.

Minister of the Ministry of War, please ask the emperor to judge."

"Last time, Qin Hu defeated Liu Yuanjin and made outstanding achievements. He has not yet had time to reward him. In addition, for his rescue work this time, I will never treat him lightly. What the boss said is very popular with me. I will pass on the decree to all the ministers tomorrow.

In the morning, I will reward General Qin in front of all civil and military officials!" Yang Shou said solemnly.

"According to the decree."

After Qin Hu returned to his cabin, he kept muttering in his heart, thinking to himself that Yang Shou wanted to reduce my military power and let me stay in the Ministry of War.

His style, his favorite thing in life is the balancing art, this move should also have deep meaning.

So it's better to wait and see what happens and see what tricks he plays.

He originally wanted to go find Pei Ju, but then he thought about it and decided not to. There are probably spies around him, and these spies may not all be in the hands of Pei Yun. At this critical moment, if Yang Shou lets

It feels like he has a lot of troops and friends with ministers, which would be bad.

He thought about it and felt that he was still treading on thin ice and keeping a low profile.

Qin Hu said to his subordinates: "Go, call Wang Yuying to me, and prepare a table of wine and food for her. Bring some more wine. I, the general, are here for a happy occasion today, and I want to get drunk with the beauty."
