weak to him

Wei Han pretended to kneel down to thank him. Everyone present had their own thoughts, but they were all a bit uncomfortable anyway.Wei Han sat on the position of first-rank minister at the age of less than 20 years old, which made many officials who have not been able to sit on the first-rank for a lifetime inevitably feel uncomfortable.

It's not that they don't want to speak out against it, but that several bigwigs in the court didn't speak up, so how can they speak up?

The ministers in the court were tormented by Zheng Yu enough, the prime minister Jiao Fang was old and smart, he knew that the reason he was able to be the prime minister was only because the emperor wanted to vacate the position of minister of punishment for Wei Han, so he was promoted official.Speaking of which, he still owed Wei Han a favor, so naturally he would not object.

Not to mention Liu Chao, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, and Lu Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is Wei Liao's father-in-law.The Wei and Lu families are already prosperous, and of course they will not object.However, Gan Yong and Wei Han were wearing a pair of trousers. Shangshu Fu Yanzheng had sensed the unusual relationship between Wei Han and the emperor from his daughter's words. He was such a shrewd person that he would not object.

The Ministry of War has been tossed about by Zheng Yu. Zhou Tan, the Minister of Rites, was safe in the last imperial examination fraud case thanks to Wei Han for finding out the truth. Only the Ministry of Industry is left alone.

Wei Han stood up from the ground and blinked at Yu Zhijing. Now Yu Zhijing could basically understand Wei Han's meaning as long as he saw Wei Han's eyes.He winked quietly at Wei Han, then suddenly covered his head and said, "Oh, my head hurts so much."

"What's wrong with you, Your Majesty..."

The ministers immediately greeted with concern, but this time they did not doubt that Yu Zhijing was faking it, it was just because Yu Zhijing had no reason to pretend to be sick now.

Yu Zhijing clutched his head and said in pain, "I've been sick recently, I thought I'd be better today, but I still have a terrible headache."

The ministers: "The emperor must take care of the dragon body."

"Zhen... let's retreat from the court." Yu Zhijing stood up and walked inside, and said casually, "Shang Shu Wei Han of the Ministry of War, come here."

Wei Han smiled politely at the officials, and then entered the palace very quickly.

Li Han knew what Wei Han was going to do, he was happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface, he was really uncomfortable.The officials walked out of the palace one by one. Although Zheng Yu had been dealt with, they still couldn't relax.

It's going to change...

From today when Wei Han became a minister, but no one in the civil and military circles opposed it, everyone knew that the sky was about to change.The rise of Wei Han's faction is already unstoppable, I only hope that he will not be a treacherous man like Zheng Yu.

Ever since Zheng Yu was imprisoned by Wei Han in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he has been trying to find a way.He has also framed many ministers, so he naturally knows how to kill a person, not to mention that he himself is not without problems.As long as Wei Han doesn't let him see the emperor, and then shows the evidence of his crime to the emperor, then he is finished.

It was dark all day long in the prison, and Zheng Yu didn't know what time it was.Two jailers came in carrying a large bucket, randomly grabbed a few steamed buns of strange colors and threw them into the cell.A cell is only thrown once, regardless of how many people are in it.

"Eat, eat, eat..."

Zheng Yu immediately ran to the fence, stretched out his hand and said, "I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor."

"Damn emperor!" The jailer sneered and said, "If you offend Mr. Wei, you will die, and you still want to see the emperor? Let's die as soon as possible."

In the past, a jailer like this, Zheng Yu, would not even look at him, but now he looked at the jailer with pleading eyes and said, "Please let me see the emperor. I have money, and I will give you a lot of money."

The jailer licked his lips and whispered, "How much money do you have?"

Zheng Yu immediately said happily: "I have a courtyard in the western suburbs, and there are 1 taels of silver buried under the willow tree, as long as you help me show this to the emperor, the 1 taels of silver will be yours. "

He reached out and stuffed a piece of blood-stained cloth into the hands of the jailer. It was the bloody book he tore off his clothes.

The jailer took the cloth in his hand and said, "I can only find a way to show this to the emperor, I don't care if it's useful or not."

"Well, as long as it can be seen by the emperor."

The jailer continued to hand out steamed buns, and Zheng Yu sat down against the wall.Xin said that as long as the emperor sees his blood book, he will definitely let him out. The emperor has him in his heart, and he can see it.

After the jailer left, he immediately went to Zheng Yu's other courtyard in the western suburbs, and sure enough, he dug up 1 taels of silver under the willow tree.He felt a little embarrassed, if he gave the blood book to the emperor, would he offend Mr. Wei?Forget it, I just found a little eunuch and handed it to him, as for whether the emperor can see it or not, it's none of my business.

He spent money to find a young eunuch who was serving the emperor, asked him to present the blood book to the emperor with a smile on his face, and stuffed him with 100 taels of silver.Holding the blood book, the little eunuch felt a little uneasy, but if Zheng Yu really came out, he would definitely remember his kindness, and he would be prosperous by then.

After Ma Dexi served Yu Zhijing and Wei Han to drink tea, he retreated consciously. Just as he left, he saw a little eunuch sneaking around.He said, "Little Yongzi, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yongzi was startled, and tremblingly said: "No, it's nothing."

"Nothing?" Ma Dexi had stayed in the palace all his life, and he knew that he must be hiding something just by looking at Xiao Yongzi. If you leave me, I have plenty of ways to kill you."

Ma Dexi had accumulated power in the hearts of the eunuchs for a long time, when he heard what he said, Xiao Yongzi immediately knelt down in fear and said: "It's all slaves who are delusional, father-in-law, please spare the little one."

Ma Dexi said: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yongzi took out the blood book and said: "Someone asked the little one to hand it over to the emperor."

Ma Dexi picked up the blood book and looked at it, a sneer appeared on his face, it seemed that some people didn't know what they were until they died.

"Who gave you this thing?"

Xiao Yongzi knelt on the ground and said: "It's a jailer in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, called..."

"Needless to say, I don't want to know his name." Ma Dexi said, "I'll give you a chance to settle this matter."

"Yes……"

For these high-ranking people, the people at the bottom are not human at all, and they can be killed by just saying a word.The jailer was still immersed in the dream of getting rich, and was found dead at home in a blink of an eye.However, Wei Han didn't know anything about it. With his current status, some things would never reach his ears if he didn't pay attention to them.

Wei Han and Yu Zhijing discussed for a long time, and decided to give Li Han the vacated position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.There are also some other vacancies filled by Wei Han's people. During the time when Wei Han was not in the capital, many people wanted to join Wei Han through Li Han. Wei Han asked Li Han to pick and choose, and also absorbed some people.

Yu Zhijing held Wei Han in his arms and said, "You said that you can be with me in an open and aboveboard manner after you return to Beijing, so you can do it now?"

"Wait a little longer." Wei Han smiled and said, "Wait for my brother to come back."

The battle with the Mongols has been going on for several months, and Wei Liao led the Darong army deep into the grassland, until they reached the golden tent.During this period, the Mongolian Khan has always wanted to ask for peace, but Wei Liao did not agree, and even the letter they were going to quietly send to the capital for Yu Zhijing was intercepted by Wei Liao.

The snow on the prairie has long since melted in May, and countless grasses are scrambling to emerge. This is the happiest time of the year for grassland people.But this time of the year is a nightmare for all grassland people. The Darong people killed all the men in the grassland and captured the women and children in the grassland. There are no more cattle and sheep grazing on the grassland, but they are soaked in blood.

Wei Liao is in good health, and his injury is almost healed.He said to Gan Yong, "You'll be fine if you don't go back, right?"

"What can be the matter?" Gan Yong said while drinking tea, "Since I wrote to Wei Han that you were injured, Wei Han immediately wrote back to me, asking me not to go back in a hurry, but to enjoy the scenery of the grassland and take care of you." you."

Wei Liao said depressedly: "Take care of me just by the way, he is really my good brother."

At this time, the personal guard entered the big tent and said, "General, what should we do with two thousand Mongolian cavalry captured?"

Wei Liao stretched out his hand to grab the tea Gan Yong poured, and said coldly, "Chop it up, and the skull will become a mountain."

"Yes!"

The guard went out without saying a word, rushed out quickly and shouted: "The commander-in-chief has an order, cut him off, and build his head into a mountain!"

The soldiers of Dayong excitedly kicked the bound Mongolian cavalry to the ground immediately, and then cut off their heads with a knife.

Such things have often happened in the past few months, and Wei Liao will never allow any adult male captives from the grassland to appear.No one in the whole army of Dayong felt that it was wrong, because they had all seen the scene after the city was broken.

When Wei Liao returned from injury that day, Dayong's army rushed in through the city gate that had just been breached, but they were stunned by the sight of the city.This city was originally a relatively prosperous city in the frontier fortress, and there were not a few Darong people in the city.

However, when they rushed in, they found that it was difficult to find a living person in the city. The streets were full of the corpses of the people of Dayong, and the corpses were lying on the street one by one, without even a place to stay.With red eyes, Wei Liao ordered the soldiers to look for surviving survivors, but in the end they only found some women who were treated as prostitutes by the Mongols.

The people in the frontier fortress were the most daring and unafraid of death. After the Mongols broke into the city that day, those people who hadn't had time to escape all picked up their farm tools and rushed out.After the Mongols entered the city, the cavalry could not be used, but suffered heavy losses.In a rage, he ordered the massacre of the city, killing all the men in the city, even the children.Only some young and beautiful women are left for their entertainment.

Wei Liao knelt down in front of the group of tortured women with tears streaming down his face, hating himself for being late.

Not only Wei Liao, but all the soldiers of Great Rong harbored hatred in their hearts, which made the subsequent battle on the grassland very smooth.They didn't have any opinion on Wei Liao's order to keep no prisoners, they all felt that it was justified, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to appease the hatred in their hearts.

Gan Yong didn't have any objection either, he said: "You will be able to enter the gold account soon, and you will be able to go back in a few days?"

"Yeah." Wei Liao nodded and said, "I haven't been back for a long time, and I really miss Kyoto."

Gan Yong smiled and said, "It's time to go back early, there are surprises waiting for you in Kyoto."

Wei Liao thought he was talking about the emperor's reward, so he said: "I used to think about making meritorious deeds, but now I have achieved it, but I don't feel very happy."

Gan Yong said: "You won this battle beautifully, which is very helpful to Wei Han. Wei Han has been waiting for you to return in triumph."

Wei Liao said: "He has helped me so much, and I am very happy to be able to help him."

Zheng Yu was held on the execution ground, and would be beheaded together with his henchmen at noon.He kept looking forward, facing the direction of the palace.Why hasn't the emperor come yet?If you don't come, I will die...

Li Han, as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was in charge of supervising and beheading Zheng Yu. He had been staring at the sun in the sky and waiting for noon.Many people stood around the execution ground in the vegetable market, and they all came to see how to execute Zheng Yu, a treacherous minister.Although Zheng Yu mainly dealt with court officials these days, his henchmen were all greedy and made the common people and merchants in the capital miserable. Knowing that he was going to die, the common people didn't know how happy they were.

"My lord, the time is up."

Li Han nodded, took the arrow in his hand and said: "It's noon, execution!"

"Snapped!"

When the arrow fell to the ground, the burly executioner sprayed a strong drink on the knife.The water mist sprayed on Zheng Yu's body, and Zheng Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Your Majesty, it will be too late if you don't save your subjects...

"Hey." The executioner swung vigorously, the light of the knife flashed and blood dripped all over the ground.

Zheng Yu didn't wait for the emperor to come until his death...

Knowing the news of Zheng Yu's death, Wei Han didn't even move his eyelids.He said: "My brother is coming back soon, should I prepare for it?"

"Be sure to prepare."

Bailiji is now the commander of the Vanguard Battalion, and a second-rank military officer can be regarded as a real general.He said: "General Wei has made such a great contribution, if it wasn't for the fact that Da Rong didn't confer kings with different surnames, he would be able to be crowned kings."

Wei Han smiled and said: "Don't think about it, the prince, the Duke can still have it."

In May of the second year of Longkang, Marshal Wei Liao of Liaodong returned to Beijing.Along the way, both sides of the streets in Kyoto are full of welcome people.The great event of opening up the frontier and expanding the land has never happened since the founding of the country. Wei Liao not only defeated the brave and skilled Mongols, but also captured the Atasa Khan in the Mongolian Golden Tent, bringing the entire grassland into the territory of Dayong.

Wei Liao rode at the front on a tall horse, and the soldiers at the back accepted the enthusiasm of the people with their heads held high. It was an honor to participate in this war.

Seeing the cheers getting closer, Yu Zhijing said to Wei Han at the gate of the city, "Is the army here?"

"It should be." Wei Han said excitedly, "To be honest, I'm really worried."

"worry about what?"

"When two unreliable people get together, I'm afraid something embarrassing will happen."

"..." Yu Zhijing said aggrievedly, "I'm obviously very reliable, okay?"

Wei Liao rode his horse all the way to the city gate and saw the emperor's guard of honor. Then he got off his horse and walked on foot. All the generals behind him also got off their horses.

Wei Liao strode up to Yu Zhijing, knelt down on one knee and said, "Chen Wei Liao returned from the Northern Expedition, fortunately he fulfilled his mission!"

"Okay!" Yu Zhijing said excitedly, "It's my great honor and luck to have the general here."

As soon as he waved his hand, Ma Dexi came out holding the imperial decree and read it out: "Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered. I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. And the military commander is the pillar of the court, and the country's dry city... I hereby give you the title Honored as the British Duke, hereditary will not be replaced, Qin Zai."

Wei Liao's eyes were full of tears, the title of the Wei family finally came back, and he was still a more noble duke than the Marquis.He took the imperial decree and choked up and said: "I thank the emperor, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The whole army knelt on the ground.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

The voice was deafening, and Yu Zhijing was also full of pride.

There are so many emperors in Dayong, except for the founder Gaozu, who else has managed to expand the territory?

What's more, the grassland tribes that even Gaozu didn't eliminate have now been destroyed by himself.Although he had deceived his father in the matter of seizing the heir, he can now tell his father that my son did not disappoint you, and my son will not embarrass you. It was right for my father to choose my son.

Seeing Wan Min cheering, Yu Zhijing moved Wei Han's hand and said, "Without you, I would not have achieved what I am today."

Wei Han looked at him with a smile and said, "Without you and me alone, it is impossible to have today's achievements."

The two looked at each other, filled with emotion.Who would have thought that the prince who had nothing to do two years ago and the male favorite who had just arrived would become the two most powerful people in this country now?

Yu Zhijing looked at Wei Han with love in his eyes.It is easy for an emperor to have someone he likes, but it is very rare to have someone who truly loves each other and can stand shoulder to shoulder.

The ministers kneeling below saw the emperor and Wei Han holding hands and looking at each other, and they all showed horrified expressions.How is this going?Could it be that after Zheng Yu's death, Wei Han became a sycophant of Israel's servant?

After everything was over, Wei Han and Yu Zhijing returned to the palace together.Yu Zhijing rubbed his sore shoulder and said, "It's so late, why don't you go back tonight."

Wei Han stretched out his hand to take off his outer robe and said, "I won't go back, I will rest in the palace tonight."

"Hey, good." Yu Zhijing instantly felt his back no longer sore and his legs no longer hurt. He put his arms around Wei Han and said, "I'll just wait for your words."

"Where is Yude Pond? I want to take a bath." Wei Han twisted his neck and said, "This day, I'm exhausted."

"I'll take you there, I'll take a shower with you." Yu Zhijing happily prepared for the two of them to take a bath. Wei Han sat on the bed and looked at him, feeling that all the hard work before this day was worth it.

After Wei Liao came home drunk, he thought he could have a good time with Lu Miaomiao to relieve the pain of lovesickness, but unexpectedly it was his pregnant wife who was waiting for him.He was dizzy listening to his wife announcing the good news to him, and felt that there were too many surprises today, which made him almost faint.

Wei Liao listened for a while, then stared at Lu Miaomiao's stomach and said, "Ma'am, does this mean you can't have intercourse?"

Lu Miaomiao blushed and said, "What are you thinking? Do you want to kill your son?"

"Hey." Wei Liao smirked twice, then squatted down and touched Lu Miaomiao's stomach, and said, "Son, you've really cheated your father."

"Pfft..."

Lu Miaomiao covered her mouth and laughed tremblingly.

The next morning, Chao Wei Liao learned a shocking news at the gate of the Emperor's Palace, that is, after Zheng Yu, Wei Han became the second minister of Israel to serve the emperor. did not come out.The ministers stood outside the hall, terrified all day long.

Finally the door of the palace opened, and they saw the current emperor and the minister of the Ministry of War entering the Huangji Palace hand in hand.

"Your Majesty!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened to Zheng Yu?"

Yu Zhijing said: "I love Wei Han wholeheartedly, and I only want to be with him in this life. Besides, has Wei Han ever done anything to endanger the country and the court?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry choked for a moment, as if Wei Han had never done anything evil.He said again: "But it's against human relations for a man to fall in love. Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you still shoulder the heavy responsibility of extending the royal heirs."

Yu Zhijing said indifferently: "The empress has already given birth to a son, and I will make him the crown prince soon."

"Your Majesty." Minister of the Ministry of Industry pointed to Yu Zhijing and Wei Han's holding hands and said, "This...is not proper."

Wei Leng glanced at him indifferently and said: "Master Shangshu, why bother to be so excited, didn't you see that other adults are very calm?"

"Huh?" The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked back, and saw that all the ministers were standing with lowered eyebrows, showing no intention of speaking out.

He was startled, and suddenly felt that Wei Han and Zheng Yu were really different.

In just two years, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty became Wei Han's people.From the civil servants to the prime minister to a small editor in the Imperial Academy, all the generals are headed by Wei Liao, so they will naturally support Wei Han.

When did Wei Han become so powerful?

Yu Zhijing smiled and said: "I brought Wei Han together today just to tell you that Wei Han and I will always be together from now on. Don't be too surprised, dear friends. You will get used to it after seeing more. I have been with Wei Han since I was a prince, and for the past two years, Wei Han has wholeheartedly assisted me in becoming emperor, and helped me handle so many important national affairs, I have treated him too much."

After a pause, Yu Zhijing said: "If anyone disrespects Wei Han in the future, I will never forgive him lightly."

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and Yu Zhijing said very satisfied: "Since all the Qing family have no objections, let's retreat from the court."

Then he took Wei Han's hand and ran away quickly. He hadn't slept with Wei Han enough yet.

After Yu Zhijing left, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were still in a daze. Although Wei Han's party members would not oppose Wei Han, they were no less shocked than the others.It turned out that the two of them had been together for so long, and I didn't even notice it at all.

Looking at the stunned ministers, Wei Liao had a bad premonition in his heart, as if something terrible would happen if he didn't escape.Just as he was about to flee, his father-in-law Lu Yong said, "Wei Liao, when did you know about the Emperor and Wei Han?"

Everyone turned their attention to Wei Liao in unison.

Wei Liao trembled all over, and then disappeared before the eyes of the officials with a whoosh. The speed was indescribable...
