Chapter 309 It's really my good minister! [1 more]
Han Kun shook his head with a humble look on his face and said, "Uncle Xu is joking. Han is just a reckless man in the Israeli army. How can he be compared with a noble family like Uncle Xu?"
Xu Shang sighed slightly when he heard this and said: "General Han thought wrong. If he could change the place, Xu would rather hold great power like General Han instead of being a being without any rights."
Xu Shang was actually a governor in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and he was considered a noble person in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. However, it was precisely because of his noble status that Xu Shangcai said that he had no real power.
On the surface, the Fifth Army Governor's Office is in charge of military power and is almost comparable to the Ministry of War. However, as the nobles have declined, the Fifth Army Governor's Office has almost become a subordinate agency of the Ministry of War.
Although there are signs of Xungui's revival now, it is a pity that Xu Shang, like Guo Xun, has too deep the imprint of civil servants on them, and their relationship with civil servants is too close, so they were directly excluded by Chu Yi and the emperor.
Outside the Xungui Group.
So despite Xu Shang, Guo Xun and others are still nominally members of the Xungui Group, but in fact, they have no close connection with the Xungui Group at all. On the contrary, they have a close relationship with the Wenchen Group.
Han Kun coughed slightly and looked at Xu Shangdao: "Uncle Xu is here to look for Han. I wonder if you have any advice?"
Xu Shang stroked his beard and smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the gift list in Han Kun's hand. Han Kun followed Xu Shang's gaze and looked at the gift list in his hand.
When Han Kun saw all the gifts listed on the gift list, even Han Kun couldn't help but breathe quickly.
It turns out that the most eye-catching item on the gift list is two hundred thousand taels of silver. Adding in various gold, silver, jade, and the like, the total gift list is almost worth three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Such a huge gift list, even Han Kun couldn't help but marvel at it.
Seeing Han Kun's expression in his eyes, Xu Shang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes showed a bit of pride.
Even though Han Kun was valued by the Emperor and Chu Yi, in the end he was just an upstart. In the past, there were only a few people in the army who would take Han Kun seriously.
Xu Shang had also learned about Han Kun's background. Although he held military power, his family was actually not very wealthy. If Han Kun was asked to come up with thousands of taels of silver, he might be able to raise it.
But if you want it to come up with more, there is really nothing you can do.
Now that he had given it a gift worth three hundred thousand taels, he couldn't believe that Han Kun was not tempted.
From Xu Shang's point of view, it is impossible for everyone in the world not to be tempted when faced with such a large sum of money. Even if someone is not tempted, it can only be because the financial temptation they face is not enough.
Xu Shang coughed lightly and looked at Han Kun with a smile on his face.
Han Kun handed the gift slip to Xu Shang with some embarrassment and said: "Uncle Xu, this gift is really too heavy. Han really can't bear it."
Xu Shang's eyes showed a bit of smile. How could he not see that although Han Kun said he was handing over the gift list, in fact, his eyes showed a bit of reluctance to give up on his duty.
"Hahaha, is it possible that General Han doesn't want to give Xu some face? This small gift is just a little thought from Xu."
Han Kun showed some hesitation on his face. He looked at Xu Shang and gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Xu, as the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit. How can Han accept such a great gift with peace of mind?"
Xu Shang smiled slightly, looked at Han Kun, and said with a straight face: "Xu has a great opportunity here to give to General Han. I wonder if General Han is willing to seize it?"
Han Kun narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, looked at Xu Shang and said, "Oh, I wonder if Uncle Xu has any advice?"
Xu Shang could only be heard saying slowly: "I wonder if General Han knew that just last night, a fire broke out in Qianqing Palace, but His Majesty was not able to escape, and he died..."
Han Kun's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly stood up and stared at Xu Shang. He said solemnly: "Uncle Xu, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If anyone hears it, you will be beheaded!"
Xu Shang saw Han Kun's reaction in his eyes and became more and more convinced that Han Kun must not have received the news from the palace. However, Xu Shang also knew that the palace had blocked the news. Except for a few people, they knew that there was a fire in the palace and the emperor was missing. Other than the news, no one else knew about it at all.
Although Han Kun was said to be in charge of the army, given Han Kun's background and background, it was obviously impossible to obtain the news from the palace immediately, so it was only expected that Han Kun would react like this.
Xu Shang looked at Han Kun and said: "General Han, do you think Xu would joke with you about this? There was a fire in the palace, His Majesty passed away, and now the Queen Mother has blocked the news. She is afraid of chaos in the capital."
Han Kun sat down, stared at Xu Shang, squinted his eyes and said: "Uncle Xu, even so, such a major matter cannot be discussed by a mere commander of Han. , the Queen Mother and others will handle it on their own. As a military man, the only thing Han can do is sit in the military camp and listen to orders."
Xu Shang looked at Han Kun with some temptation and said: "General Han, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for General Han. With the tens of thousands of troops of the Tengxiang Four Guards in the hands of General Han, as long as he can climb up and shout, , If you support the new king to ascend the throne, then the new king will definitely not hesitate to reward you, and maybe General Han can go one step further."
Han Kun's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Xu Shang with a horrified expression: "Uncle Xu, you...are you planning to rebel?"
Xu Shang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has died, and the Ming Dynasty has no master. We are just choosing a new king for the Ming Dynasty. This move can be said to have contributed to the country, but how can it be said to be treason?"
Xu Shang stared at Han Kun and said, "General Han, I'm afraid you may never encounter this opportunity once in your life. This is simply an opportunity given to you by God. Don't miss it."
Han Kun shook his head and said: "This matter is of great importance. It is difficult for Han to make a decision for a while. Let me think about it, let me think about it!"
Although Xu Shang was a little disappointed that Han Kun didn't agree directly, Han Kun didn't refuse outright, which gave Xu Shang hope.
In the capital city, the two most important groups are the nearly 200,000-strong army of the capital camp, and the other are the Tengxiang Four Guards who are independent from the capital camp. As long as these two groups of troops can be controlled, the overall situation of the capital city will be affected. It has already been decided.
Xu Shang glanced at Han Kun and sighed slightly: "Xu also knows that such a big thing is too sudden for General Han. Xu can wait for General Han's reply. In three days, I hope that in three days Afterwards, General Han can give Xu an answer."
Han Kun took a deep breath, looked up at Xu Shang, nodded slowly and said, "Okay, Han promises that he will definitely give Uncle Xu an answer in three days."
As he said that, Han Kun looked like he was working hard and handed the gift list to Xu Shangdao: "No reward for no merit, please ask Uncle Xu to take this gift list away!"
Xu Shang saw Han Kun's look in his eyes and waved his hands with great pride: "Since the gift has been given, there is no reason to take it back. Could it be that General Han doesn't want to make a friend with Xu?"
Han Kun gritted his teeth, looked at Xu Shang and said, "Okay, Han has made Uncle Xu a friend!"
Xu Shang stood up with a smile on his face, cupped his hands towards Han Kun and said, "This way Xu will not disturb General Han. Xu will wait for General Han's reply in three days."
Han Kun personally sent Xu Shang out of the Tengxiang Siwei Camp. Seeing the carts of gifts being transported into the camp, Han Kun returned to the commander's account with a solemn expression.
Opening the handsome tent, Han Kun saw two figures sitting there.
Seeing one of them, Han Fian quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of him, saying with great respect: "General, I will pay my respects to your majesty. May your majesty be safe!"
It turned out that this man was the emperor Zhu Houzhao, who seemed to have evaporated from the world since the fire in the Qianqing Palace. Beside him was the person who escorted him out of the sea of fire, and immediately escorted him to the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp. Shao Yuanjie's real person.
One of Zhu Houzhao's legs was bandaged with white cloth. He was obviously injured in the fire, but looking at Zhu Houzhao's spirit, it was obvious that this injury was nothing to him.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was looking at the gift list that Han Kun placed on the handsome case with great interest. He heard Zhu Houzhao's cold voice saying with a hint of chill: "Tsk, tsk, what a big gesture. The first sale was three hundred thousand taels of silver, they were really willing to spend their money!"
Han Kun couldn't hear the anger in Zhu Houzhao's words and said quickly: "I will swear allegiance to your majesty to the death. As long as your majesty gives the order, I will go and capture Xu Shang."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and signaled Han Kun to stand up and said: "I know General Han's loyalty. Chu Daban had previously told me that if anything happens in Beijing, let me come to General Han's army as soon as possible. With General Han protecting me, I will be as stable as Mount Tai."
Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Han Kun looked moved and couldn't help but kowtow respectfully: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I will definitely die in repayment!"
Zhu Houzhao motioned for Han Kun to get up and sit down. His eyes were focused, and he exuded a bit of aura that kept strangers away from him. He said coldly: "I really can't believe that my great Marquis and Earl would be involved in such a treasonous thing. Among them, they are really my good ministers!"
Zhu Houzhao has been in the military camp these days, but this does not mean that Zhu Houzhao knows nothing about what is happening in the outside world.
It is true that everyone in the palace did not know the news of his departure from the palace, but Zhu Houzhao immediately summoned the top brass of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the military camp.
After some cleaning by Chu Yi, needless to say, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were replaced by trustworthy people by Chu Yi. Therefore, through Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao was able to control the troubles of the capital. It can be said that every move of anyone who cares, Zhu Houzhao, Everyone can know it clearly.
