The officials at the Zhengshi Hall were extremely surprised, while Cui Yu looked calm. It was obvious that he was mentally prepared for this, so he was not too surprised.
On the contrary, Zheng Qingzhi on the other side looked quite proud.
However, as he was a member of the officialdom after all, Zheng Qingzhi quickly adjusted his mood and his face was extremely solemn, as serious as if his parents were dead.
"Your Majesty, Cui is here to receive the order."
"Your Majesty, Zheng Qingzhi has accepted the order."
Cui Yu took Zhao Yun's personal letter from Zhao Yun, stood up, and said to Gao Shi, "I would also like to ask Eunuch Gao to report back to Your Majesty. I will go to Funing Hall tomorrow to express my gratitude after the handover of affairs is completed."
"So good."
Gao Shi nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Zheng Qingzhi: "Mr. Zheng, your Majesty said that from now on, you will be responsible for the affairs of the political hall."
Zheng Qingzhi said solemnly: "I would like to ask Eunuch Gao to report back to Your Majesty. This is the duty of an minister, and I do not dare to do it."
After the explanation was completed, Gao Shi left.
After Gao Shi left, all the officials from the Zhengshi Hall came up to Cui Yu and raised their hands to express condolences, seeming to be reluctant to leave.
Cui Yu smiled calmly on his face and said to everyone: "Comrades, you don't have to be like this. Your Majesty is strict with yourself and lenient towards others. It's because he failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations that he was dismissed by His Majesty. This is all as it should be."
, no regrets.”
Then, Cui Yu raised his hand to Zheng Qingzhi and said: "Mr. Zheng, I will trouble you with the government affairs in the future."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Mr. Cui is the pillar of the country. I will inevitably trouble Mr. Cui during the Qing Dynasty. I will ask Mr. Cui to give me more advice."
Although Zheng Qingzhi's face was extremely serious, there was still a sense of pride in his tone that was difficult to conceal.
Naturally, he couldn't hide this from Cui Yu, but Cui Yu couldn't mind it. He and Zheng Qingzhi went to his room, handed over the affairs at hand to Zheng Qingzhi one by one, and then left the political hall and returned to
Gone home.
After Cui Yu left, Zheng Qingzhi walked around the political hall, inspecting the conditions of various departments, and finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.
There are huge personnel changes in the Government Hall, and the Privy Council over there is not idle either.
At this time, Han Hong was discussing with everyone in the Privy Council to analyze Li Quan's possible march route and the size of Li Quan's troops, so as to design the best combat plan.
And these are not the most important things. The most important thing is who will lead the troops to put down the rebellion?
The truth is that thousands of armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Without a wise and courageous general to lead the army, no matter how good you are in all aspects, you will not be able to win.
The officials recommended several people in succession, but Han Hong was not satisfied and worried.
It is true that this battle is too critical. If a mistake is made, not only Lin'an will be endangered, but even Zhao Yun will be involved.
"If that doesn't work, then I'll have to lead the troops myself."
Without a suitable candidate, Han Hong was already thinking about leading the troops himself, but this was also a last resort.
After all, Han Hong is the privy envoy and is in charge of the world's troops. If he wants to lead the troops himself, there will be problems in the dispatch of the world's troops. Secondly, he will also tell the world openly and secretly that the imperial court seems to be helpless against Li Quan's rebellion.
, even civil servants such as the Privy Council have to engage in hand-to-hand combat in person. This is unfavorable news that hurts the morale of the military.
While everyone was busy, an official ran in quickly and said to Han Hong: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cui has been dismissed by the officials."
Everyone was surprised and looked at the official with disbelief on their faces.
The official added: "The official dismissed Prime Minister Cui directly with the imperial pen. Now the government affairs of Zhengshi Hall are temporarily handled by Mr. Zheng."
Han Hong frowned, shocked by Zhao Yun's decisiveness, and at the same time he also paid more attention to this war.
Obviously, Zhao Yun attaches great importance to this war. Removing Cui Yu is telling everyone his determination, and no one can neglect it.
Under serious circumstances, Han Hong suddenly thought of a candidate who could lead the army. This person was Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan is the son of the famous general Zhao Fang. He also has a younger brother named Zhao Kui. The two brothers have been practicing martial arts since they were young and have long been famous in the army.
During the Song-Jin war ten years ago, Zhao Fan followed his father Zhao Fang to fight in the north and south, and made great contributions. Moreover, this man was quite knowledgeable about military affairs and was already a handsome man.
Han Hong went through Zhao Fan's past experiences in his mind and believed that this person was the best candidate, so he and everyone finally finalized the battle plan and went to report to Zhao Yun.
Funing Hall.
Zhao Yun had just finished reviewing all the memorials at this time, and felt heavy and depressed. This was caused by Li Quan's rebellion.
Zhao Yun felt puzzled when he thought that Xu Guo had messed up what he had told him to do. Could it be that his outsmarting strategy was wrong, and it not only harmed Xu Guo, but also forced Li Quan to fight back?
At this moment, Zhao Yun couldn't help but have some self-doubt.
After thinking randomly for a while, Zhao Yun finally shook his head, got rid of these messy thoughts, and said secretly: "Forget it, we have reached this point, just do whatever you have to do, wait until Li Quan's chaos is quelled, and then investigate Xu Guo's
As for the cause of death, if he was really killed by me, let’s grant him a title and pass it on to his descendants.”
Just when Zhao Yun was thinking about Xu Guo's affairs, Han Hong came.
After the ceremony, Han Hong handed over the battle plan. Zhao Yun read it over and was quite satisfied. He looked at Zhao Fan, the candidate for the general. Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "This Zhao Fan is the former Jinghu Commander Zhao Fang."
the son of?"
Han Hong nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this person is the son of Zhao Laolinggong. This son has always been strategic. It is just because his father Zhao Lainggong died of illness and he stayed at home to observe filial piety, so he has not participated in court affairs for the time being.
Counting the time, the three-year filial piety period has expired and the imperial court can recruit you."
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "That's very good."
Zhao Yun was about to issue an order, then thought about it and added: "Since Zhao Fan's younger brother Zhao Kui is also a fierce general, let's recruit them together and let their brothers go into battle together. This way, it will be easier to command the battle."
"Your Majesty is wise." Han Hong raised his hand and praised.
Zhao Yun stretched out his hand towards Gao Shi, called him over, and said: "Gao Shi, go to the Political Affairs Hall and ask the Ministry of Education to draw up an edict to recruit Zhao Fan to serve as the punishment for Huaidong and the magistrate of Chuzhou to control the troops and horses in Zhenjiang and Chuzhou.
Allow him the power to act expediently and have full authority to deal with Li Quan's affairs, with his younger brother Zhao Kui as his deputy."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi agreed and left in a hurry.
Zhao Yun raised his hand and said, "The Qing family looks very tired. Why don't you accompany me to go fishing in the garden pond to relax?"
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Han Hong was stunned for a moment, and then quickly agreed.
The monarch and his ministers came to the pond, threw out the fishing line in their hands, and started fishing quietly without anyone speaking.
