Chapter 355: The Commander-in-Chief of the Military Commander's Office
Twenty miles away from the capital, Han Qu couldn't help feeling a little nervous while waiting for the messenger's news in the big tent.
Although he was not a member of Bei'an King Mo Yuanzhen, he was not sure whether Mo Zizai could trust him. In addition, his ten thousand border troops were proposed to be transferred back by Bei'an King, which undoubtedly made Mo Zizai even more suspicious of himself.
In this way, what choice Mo Zizai would make is really hard to say.
In fact, he was not afraid of Mo Zizai's actions to him. Since he decided to come to the capital, he had no intention of going back alive. As for whether he died at Mo Zizai or at the hands of the rebels, he didn't care.
After all, Mo Zizai's previous use of military armor and the grassland to exchange war horses has completely disappointed him. If it weren't for the kindness of the late emperor, even if he did not surrender to Mo Yuanzhen now, he would have resigned directly and gave up his job.
But it's okay for me to die, but these ten thousand border troops and their families cannot die. They are brothers who have followed me for many years and have been through life and death together. Now I have brought them into the fire pit in the capital, which is already very sorry for them. If I let them die at the hands of my own people and take a rebellion, I will not be able to die in peace.
Han Qu looked to the direction of the capital, his eyes full of worry. He could only pray silently in his heart now that there would not be such a worst-case scenario. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
Just when Han Qu was in great distress, the messenger he sent out rushed back quickly, and behind him was a eunuch in a brocade robe.
After seeing these two people, Han Qu's heart, which was a little anxious, immediately calmed down.
Although he didn't know what was waiting for him, now the result was about to come out, and he could treat it calmly.
"The last general Han Qu, I have met my father-in-law."
Although Han Qu had a bad temper, he was not a person who was not aware of the accident. So after seeing the eunuch in brocade robe, he politely stepped forward and bowed.
"Oh, General Han is so polite."
The eunuch in brocade robe slightly turned aside and avoided Han Qu's courtesy, "Our family is just a small manager, and I dare not accept such courtesy from General Han."
Han Qu is a garrison of Fengzhou Prefecture, a fourth-rank general. He is just a seventh-rank eunuch in charge and is not qualified to receive Han Qu's gift. Now the eunuchs in the palace are all managed by Qiu Wuping. He is the most ruler. If he dares to accept Han Qu's gift so carelessly, he will have to let himself get rid of his skin when he returns.
"I'm sorry to have worked so hard to travel so far. Han is the right way to show his ritual to his father-in-law. Don't care."
Han Qu took out a ingot of gold from his arms and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand. "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, and he has a little bit of a respect."
Looking at the ingot of gold in his hand, the eunuch felt a little reluctant, but finally smiled bitterly, and then placed it on Han Qu's handsome table, "God of General Han, the palace is very strict. Our family really dare not accept this thing. I hope the general will not harm our family."
"this……"
Han Qu was a little surprised. He saw the reluctance and greed in the eunuch's eyes clearly, but in the end he could endure the desire in his heart and put the gold back, which already shows that the palace was still very strict.
Thinking of this, Han Qu felt a little relieved and could tell that the eunuch was aware of it. From the eunuch's response, we can see that the rules in the palace were not messed up yet, and as long as there were rules in the palace, the capital would not be too messed up. This was undoubtedly a good thing for the Great Zhou.
Thinking of this, Han Qu no longer politely with the eunuch, but asked, "Dare you ask me, how will your Majesty be ready to settle us?"
Seeing Han Qu ask about the serious matter, the eunuch took out the imperial edict with a serious expression and read it out.
After Han Qu received the imperial edict, the eunuch looked at Han Qu with a smile and said, "Congratulations to General Han, for being promoted to the Governor of the Governor of the Later Army."
Han Qu was originally a garrison in Fengzhou Prefecture and belonged to the fourth rank. Later, the military commander Tongzhi was from the first rank, but in terms of grade, Han Qu was suddenly promoted to level five.
But many times, the accounts are not settled in this way. The functions of the Five Army Governor's Office have long been abolished, and most of its powers have been divided up by the Ministry of War. The current Five Army Governor's Office is a nursing home for generals. If he throws him to the Five Army Governor's Office, it means that he has no possibility of commanding the ten thousand border troops anymore.
Although this result was already expected by Han Qu, and the result was much better than the worst result he expected, after learning the news, he still couldn't help but lose his mind.
He rushed back from the northern border with a heart of serving the country, but was thrown to the Governor's Office of the Five Army for retirement. Although he could understand Mo Zizai's concerns, he was still a little unwilling to accept it.
"General Han, General Han..."
The eunuch Xuanzhi shouted twice before calling Han Qu over from his distractedness. Looking at the eunuch Xuanzhi's somewhat worried look, Han Qu smiled bitterly, and then said a little apologetically: "Sorry, father-in-law, Han was a little distracted just now. Don't you know what you said just now?"
"It's like that. The prince has an order to lead you to station the border army first in the Yulin Army camp. The prince and Wei Huangwei General are waiting for you in the Yulin Army camp."
“Stationed in the Yulin Army Camp?”
Han Qu thought for a moment, then nodded silently and replied: "Okay, Han will let the army go."
It is actually a bit risky to bring the border army into the Yulin Army's camp, because if Mo Zizai had any other ideas, he just needed to set up an ambush in the camp, and he could easily capture all the ten thousand border troops in one place.
But Han Qu had no choice. Since he had come to the capital, one party would definitely compromise. Now Mo Zizai obviously has no intention of compromising, so he could only compromise by himself.
All I can do now is to pray that Mo Zizai has no other thoughts, and to pay careful attention when entering the Yulin Army camp. If there is a trap, just notice it as soon as possible.
Just now, Han Qu did not accept the gifts and bribes of the eunuch Xuanzhi. Although the eunuch Xuanzhi did not accept it, he still had a good impression of Han Qu. Now looking at Han Qu's worried eyes, he probably understood what Han Qu was worried about, so he smiled and reminded him in a vague manner: "Mr. Han, we heard that the prince wanted to restore the functions of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Now that you have become the Governor General, you may have to be busy in the future."
"Um?"
Han Qu was stunned for a moment, but did not understand what the eunuch Xuanzhi meant. He looked at the eunuch Xuanzhi hesitantly and asked, "How can you explain this to my father-in-law?"
"You have been in the northern border for many years and may not be very clear about the news about the capital."
Because it was not something that could not be said, the eunuch Xuanzhi did not hide it too much and explained to Han Qu: "The people from the Governor's Office of the Five Army participated in the assassination of the prince and were all cut down by the prince."
"The current Five Army Governor's Office is just an empty shell. It can be said that it is innocent and cannot be clear anymore. Therefore, the prince is willing to restore the functions of the Five Army Governor's Office and let the Five Army Governor's Office play a role again."
"Although you are only the governor of the rear army, you are currently the highest-ranking person in the governor of the Five Army."
