Hu Hai spoke as an emperor and set the tone for Lin Ze's request for merit and reward. All the ministers remained silent, and the Chengtian Hall fell into silence for a while.
Although the matter was suppressed, the ministers were not willing to accept it.
The ministers may not care much about this achievement, but from the bottom of their hearts, they felt disgusted that Lin Ze had cut off their "glory and wealth".
But how dare a mere bastard act so recklessly? Do you really think that no one can cure him?
Several ministers exchanged vague glances and nodded slightly, reaching some kind of tacit understanding.
A military general from the Taiwei Mansion took the lead to take a step forward, bowed his hand to Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty, the suppression of the rebellion is related to the fate of the Qin Dynasty. Although Lin Shaofu is very talented, he is only one person after all, so he is somewhat powerful.
A single person is weak."
"It should be noted that the Chen thief is coming with great force and cannot be wiped out easily by one person. Therefore, I hereby implore Your Majesty to send another good general to lead an elite division into the lands of Guandong to assist Shaofu Lin in suppressing the rebellion."
A minister of the Zhongshu Province followed and said: "I agree, how can the empire be entrusted to the hands of one person?"
For a moment, as if it had caused a resonance, twenty or thirty people in the hall echoed in unison: "I second my opinion."
A trace of sarcasm flashed through Hu Hai's eyes. When he said he wanted to put down the rebellion, Li Si objected, but none of the ministers stood up to support the fight against the rebellion. They didn't even dare to fart. Now, seeing Lin Ze's great achievements, he just endured it.
Can't help but jump out?
If it weren't for the purpose of clearing up the rebellion as soon as possible, Hu Hai would have really wanted to veto this proposal.
Hu Hai looked around the ministers expressionlessly, and finally his eyes fell on Li Si, and said slowly: "I wonder what the Prime Minister wants?"
Li Si pretended to think deeply for a while before speaking: "What the ministers said is reasonable, and I have no objection."
"In this case, let the Taiwei Mansion come up with a charter, and the ministers will discuss it to see if it is feasible, and then I will make a decision," Hu Hai said.
Several senior generals in the Taiwei Mansion looked happy, looked at each other, and secretly made up their minds.
One of the veteran generals stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of countering the rebellion is not as troublesome as imagined. To put it simply, it is just a matter of dispatching troops and generals."
"Soldiers, Lin Shaofu had previously recruited 700,000 young men. As we all know, Lin Shaofu defeated the enemy's army of 200,000 men twice, but only used 250,000 young men, and the remaining 450,000 were still in Lishan.
So we only need to divide our troops."
"General, Shaofu Lin once requested from Your Majesty to recruit more than 30 good generals, including the Prince Consort Li You. However, Shaofu Lin was too worried and did not dare to reuse them, so they did not make any achievements. In accordance with the opinion of the minister,
Your Majesty can use it with confidence."
After hearing this, Hu Hai's face became extremely ugly, and there was even a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. These people actually wanted to weaken Lin Ze's strength without any regard for the safety of the Qin Dynasty. They deserved to die.
Hu Hai snorted coldly and said, "I thought I had some good ideas. After talking about it for a long time, I actually wanted to decentralize power. You can't think of it."
The veteran's face remained unchanged and he said: "Your Majesty is aware that I have only the interests of the Qin Dynasty in mind."
Hu Hai said with a sneer: "Have no two intentions? You must know that Lin Ze promised before that he would not be able to quell the rebellion within a year and would be willing to have the entire clan executed. If I adopt your suggestion, within one year, the Chen thieves will not be wiped out."
,How about I destroy your entire clan?"
The veteran's face froze, and he smiled dryly and said: "If Your Majesty does not agree with this idea, Wei Chen and others will think of other ways."
Some upright ministers in the palace couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Bah, how shameless."
This veteran has no such consciousness at all. If he heard this, he might even retort confidently: What's the use of losing face?
Hu Hai quickly waved his hand and said: "If you have any ideas, you don't need to tell me. Since Lin Shaofu is the commander in chief of the counter-rebellion, you will discuss it with him directly. After he agrees, I will make the final decision.
"
Hu Hai thought so. Since he planned to support Lin Ze in suppressing the rebellion, he should leave these troublesome matters to Lin Ze to deal with. Anyway, with his scheming, he didn't have to worry about being plotted against.
Those who had just spoken out in the hall had somewhat gloomy expressions on their faces. After a lot of trouble, in the end, they still had to find the bastard.
A minister from Zhongshu Province suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Hu Hai said impatiently: "It's accurate."
Shang Shulang said righteously: "According to the laws of Qin, when the army is on an expedition, in addition to the chief general, there is also a supervisor who is responsible for monitoring whether the army is loyal and whether there are any violations of discipline. Previously, Shaofu Lin left
In such a hurry, the post of supervisor of the counter-rebellion army has not yet been found. Therefore, I sincerely request your majesty to select virtuous people to serve as supervisor of the counter-rebellion army."
At this moment, Li Si spoke up and echoed: "Your Majesty, the laws of Qin cannot be broken lightly. It is imperative to establish a supervisory army."
Hu Hai felt a little unhappy. Didn't these people intend to get along well with Lin Ze?
Zhao Gao opened his mouth at the right moment and said: "The Law of Qin was formulated by the late emperor who called together talented people from all over the world. It took countless efforts and took many years to formulate it. It is the cornerstone of the Qin Dynasty and cannot be easily broken. Please consider it."
Hu Hai said coldly: "In that case, let's do it according to the Qin Law. Do you have reliable supervisors to elect?"
The minister said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have recommended a person to be the commander of the imperial guards, Lin Dong. This man is familiar with military books, has advanced martial arts training, and has served as the commander of the imperial guards for many years. The most important thing is that Lin Dong is Lin Dong.
The Shaofu is a biological father, and the love between father and son is deep, so he will not arouse the resentment of Shaofu Lin and delay the suppression of the rebellion, so he is the best candidate."
When Hu Hai heard this, a strange look appeared on his face. Lin Ze's father? The relationship between them was not very good.
A ministerial order added: "Lin Dong's wife and son are in Chang'an and can be used as hostages. Your Majesty does not have to worry about his father and son being linked together."
I don't know what he was thinking. After hearing these words, Hu Hai nodded eccentrically and said: "Shan. According to my decree, Lin Dong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is appointed as the supervisor of the counter-rebellion army. He will set off today and rush to the front line."
After saying the words, Hu Hai felt a little regretful in his heart. He knew very well how bad the relationship between Lin Ze and Lin Dong was. If Lin Ze heard the news, he might go crazy.
Hu Hai soon convinced himself that the ministers were full of ill will towards Lin Ze. If they rejected this candidate, they might recommend a worse one. It is better for me to let his father be the supervisor than to arrange a supervisor who deliberately goes against him.
Be good.
Besides, you are not joking, I have already said it, can I still regret it?
After leaving the court, some eunuchs went to Hangu Pass with the imperial edict.
At the same time, envoys from various powerful families in Chang'an City rushed to Hanguguan with their family's mission.
