Even if the Dragon Bird Army became an army, although in front of Feng Yi and others, Han Qian tried his best to put the credit for "Epidemic Water Dredging" on Shen Yang and others, it was the Dragon Bird Army that really attracted the attention of Anning Palace. Anning Palace sent spies to investigate the matter thoroughly, but the father and son were still unable to escape suspicion.
Therefore, even if what happened today had not happened, Han Qian would have tried his best to persuade his father to become an official and leave this place of right and wrong.
After Han Jun entered the court, his uncle Han Daoming officially joined forces with Anning Palace and the Prince's family. Many things were entangled, and Han Qian knew that at this time it was even more necessary to make a quick decision to cut through the mess.
Seeing Han Qian looking over with stern eyes, Han Daoxun couldn't help but pondered again.
Although Han Qian had told his ears about the many benefits of becoming an official in the past two or three months, when it came time to make a decision, Han Daoxun was hesitant. He really didn't know how much time he could buy to realize his ambition: "Become an official." Is the place really feasible?”
"My father wants to implement the New Deal, but before testing the local resistance, His Majesty will definitely not dare to try it lightly even if he is determined to cut off his wrists. However, where my father is going to serve as an official, he will choose the prefecture and county to implement the new law first. Once it has great results, he will definitely be able to make a big impact." Your Majesty is very excited. When the time comes, we will be able to gain more support and make your father's name in history possible."
Han Qian couldn't tell his father that you, a troublemaker, should leave Jinling as soon as possible. The further away the better, so he could only say in a persuasive way,
"Your Majesty is already old, and my father's official appointment cannot be delayed any longer."
Han Daoxun looked at the puddle of water outside the courtyard, which still had a very light blood color that had not washed away, and asked Han Qian: "In the past few months, you have always been worried that if I write a letter to remonstrate and correct the old evils, I will offend the world's powerful people and eventually end up ruined. You tried your best to encourage me to become an official, maybe because you were afraid that one day I would go astray and implicate you, right?"
"..." Han Qian was speechless. Not only was his father not stupid, he was also very smart. How could he hide his thoughts from his father?
"My father is familiar with historical documents, how could he not know how many people who want to change the world will end up well?"
Han Daoxun smiled, remembered a past event, and said slowly,
"When I first took office, the world was not yet divided into three parts. At that time, the towns were divided. I was also bent on gaining fame and strengthening the clan. Your mother died of illness, and I sent you back to Xuanzhou for foster care. Later, I had a divorce in Chuzhou. case, a young couple's innocence was restored. This was also a small matter to me, and I soon forgot about it. In the eighth year of God's blessing, Chuzhou was also devastated by the army. When we went to war with the army, Xicheng and I I got separated and was chased by thieves. I fled to a farmhouse to take refuge. The owners happened to be the young couple whose innocence I solved the case back then. They also tried their best to protect me until the thieves retreated. This was originally a good talk. When I said goodbye I also thought that after going back, Xicheng would find this young couple and give them generous gifts so that they would not be so poor. Before leaving, the young couple cooked broth and gave it to me, so that I would not have the energy to walk back to the state capital after being hungry for a few days. .But think about it, this young couple was so hungry that they were emaciated. I hid in the farmhouse for three days and three nights. They only ate grass and stalks. Where could there be any meat? After questioning, I found out that they He took his newborn son, exchanged it with a neighbor, and boiled it into broth to thank me for my kindness. My father was also hard-hearted back then, so when he returned to the state capital, he led Xicheng and the others to kidnap the young couple and their neighbors. The prison was interrogated. When Xicheng and the others rushed there, they found that the young couple had hanged themselves in the woodshed. This incident and the world are a nightmare that my father has been unable to get rid of for many years..."
Han Qian stood there in a daze.
"It doesn't matter where I want to be an official. I have great ambitions but not much talent. I can't sustain my ambitions even if I have the world in my heart. If I can benefit one party, it's just a small wish. But Qian'er, you have to take care of yourself!" Han Daoxun reached out and patted Han Qian's shoulder before walking back.
The study room in the west wing.
Han Qian understood that his father was willing to put down his ambitions at this time and was not so eager, but in fact he had high hopes for him.
He smiled bitterly. All his efforts were just a struggle for survival. He didn't want to end up like a man who betrayed his relatives and had his car crashed in the city. What qualifications did he have to accept such high hopes? Did he tell his father that Emperor Tianyou would die within four years? The man from Anning Palace
He is so cruel and ruthless that no one can imagine, and the man from Chuzhou is not someone who is willing to submit to others.

"You really value the father and son of the Han family, and you actually let Han Qian control the secret cao Zuosi." Su Hongyu rested her slender hands on the strings of the piano, looked at Li Zhigao across from her infatuatedly, and said lazily with emotion.
Yao Xishui also had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, but at this time she seemed even more dissatisfied that Su Hongyu did not hide her affection for Li Zhigao at all in front of her, an "outsider".
Even if the Dragon Bird Army formed a fighting force and became an elite division stationed near Jinling, its greatest role would only be to restrain An Ning Palace and the Prince's family from daring to act rashly against the Third Prince and Xinchang Houfu.
There are rules for horse movement.
What's more, Emperor Tianyou is still alive. In addition to the Longque Army, the capital is defended by a total of about 200,000 soldiers and horses from the 18th Guards Army of the North and South Yamen.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even Chen De, Li Zhigao and others have extremely limited power to directly use; in the event of any emergency, they only have three to four hundred soldiers from the guard camp and the Hou family.
can be called directly.
Without orders from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, they would directly call in the Dragon Bird Army only when they completely broke up with each other.
The purpose of establishing the Secret Service was to secretly monitor and spy on the activities of the An Ning Palace, the Crown Prince, King Xin and other forces, and even take on the heavy responsibility of bribing, intimidating and even assassinating generals.
The actions of Secret Cao Zuosi were hidden in the shadows and were not subject to the supervision of the court's laws. Han Qian held the power of Secret Cao Zuosi to join the army. To a certain extent, his power was even greater than that of Chen De, Li Zhigao and others.
What's more, Li Zhigao and the others allowed Han Qian to prepare and build the secret power of Secret Cao Zuo Si, which was equivalent to giving up Wanhonglou's direct control over him.
Yao Xishui was naturally opposed to it, but Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Li Zhigao advocated this, but they also had their reasons.
That is, the Han family and his son have already played too big a role. At this time, they would rather give up direct control over Han Qian than pull Han Qian and his father into the same boat as them.
Faced with Su Hongyu's "complaints", Li Zhigao just smiled and said: "The Han family and his son are not in the pool. If they don't share the huge profits with them, it will be difficult to achieve their goals."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm just talking, I don't want to listen to your serious lectures." Su Hongyu waved her hand lazily, interrupting Li Zhigao's words.
At this time, a swordsman in black shirt walked in after reporting the incident, hurriedly whispered a few words to Li Zhigao, and then left again.
Seeing Li Zhigao's face full of shock, Su Hongyu asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's nothing. It's just that the spies stationed in Wuli Lane just saw Han Jun, who came to visit his uncle Han Daoxun, carrying the body of a confidant and walking out of Hanzhai with hatred!" Li Zhigao said.
"Ah! What's going on?" Yao Xishui asked emotionally after hearing this.
"It is not clear what happened in the house. The spies only saw Zhao Wuji, the young man who shot Fan Wucheng that day, standing on the courtyard wall and taking action! There were three cronies around Han Jun who had their right arms broken, and the Han family was in the city before the incident.
The soldiers and their children there once surrounded Han Zhai." Li Zhigao said.
"Han Qian said that he has a deep personal grudge against his old house. Haven't you always been able to check it?" Su Hongyu said with a smile, "Well, now that Han Qian has proposed that his father Han Daoxun wants to become an official, you have no choice but to fulfill his ambition!"
"Yeah! I thought I could have a rest tonight," Li Zhigao smiled bitterly and said, "I've gone back home and won't be here to talk to you anymore."
"As if you are talking to me." Yao Xishui laughed.
"..." Li Zhigao waved his hand and left Wanhong Mansion with his entourage.
Han Daoxun remonstrated with the hungry people, his reputation gradually deteriorated, and he was isolated by other courtiers. At this time, Han Qian had no source of information from the upper echelons of the court, but the Xinchang Houfu had long noticed the Privy Council's order regarding Han Jun.
Han Daoming, the eldest son of the Han family, had been controlled by Xu Mingzhen when he was serving in Chaozhou in his early years and had quite a personal relationship with Xu Mingzhen. At this time, his son entered the office of Niu Gengru, one of the core figures in the lineage of his cousin Xu and the prince.
The appointment of the Northern Division of the Privy Council, which he personally took charge of, undoubtedly meant that Han Daoming, as the governor of Chizhou, officially became a member of the Xu clan and the prince's faction.
Although Chizhou is not as wealthy as Yang, Hang, Run, Hu, and Yuezhou, it still has eight counties under its jurisdiction and a Dingkou with more than 70,000 households. At the same time, it serves as the western gateway of Gyeonggi and borders Chaozhou and Shouzhou to the north.
It is connected to the various prefectures and counties of Jiangnan West Road to the west, and its position is extremely important.
Han Wenhuan served as a garrison envoy in Chizhou in his early years and developed deep connections in Chizhou. Before Han Daoming came to Chizhou, his son Han Jun married the daughter of the Yang family of a wealthy family in Chizhou, and served as the governor and leader of the garrison army.
After the state army, its power in Chizhou was unparalleled for a while.
Not to mention the profound influence of the Korean people who have been operating in Xuanzhou for generations.
Although the old patriarch Han Wenhuan is still alive, Han Daoming, as the natural heir of the Han clan, has a higher status within the Korean clan than the second eldest brother Han Daochang and the third eldest brother Han Daoxun.
Of course, Han Daoming's son Han Jun came to Beijing this time. Li Zhigao and the others speculated that this should be the direct instruction of Han Wenhuan, the old head of the Korean family.
The situation is becoming more and more favorable to Anning Palace and the Prince's family, which also makes Li Pu, Li Zhigao and others feel even more pressure.
It is no secret that Han Daoxun was at odds with his father and brother in his early years.
Han Qian also claimed that he struggled in his childhood under the shadow of his second uncle Han Daochang and harbored hatred.
However, even if these are true, there is no guarantee that the attitudes of Han Daoxun, Han Qian and his son will not change after the entire Han family makes their choice.
In the past few months, Han Qian's role in the third prince's side has been too great. It is no longer a matter of killing people and silence, but it is so great that without Han Qian and his son, their hope of success will be even slimmer.
Therefore, the third prince Yang Yuanpu was instigated by Han Qian to advocate the establishment of a secret service. Not only was Li Zhigao not annoyed, he even firmly recommended Han Qian to take charge of one department, hoping to strengthen the attitude of Han Qian and his father Han Daoxun.
Li Zhigao didn't expect that Han Qian not only understood their thoughts, but also showed such a clear and decisive attitude.
