Need for a Guard

The little emperor announced Zuo Mo's appointment in court.

Zuo Mo's rank is relatively low, and he is not qualified to go to court, so Xiao Yan hastily sent someone to summon Zuo Mo to go to court and be granted the title.

Zuo Mo didn't have time to express the surprise in his heart, he ran into the court hall in a daze, kowtowed in gratitude, and received the seal.

Only now did Xiao Yan's heart stabilize.

Zuo Mo was originally a fifth-rank official and was not qualified to participate in the court meeting. This time, he was promoted to be a nine-door counselor and a fourth-rank official. If necessary, he is eligible to attend the court meeting!

Dazed, he bowed to his immediate superior, the admiral of the Nine Gates—Hong Shan, and then stood respectfully under Hong Shan, with an unconcealable excited smile on his face.

The little emperor said again: "My dear friends, if you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

All the ministers were silent.

Bai Mochou coughed lightly, and came out again: "Go back to the emperor, I have something important to announce."

Kang Shan was so angry that he trembled all over: "What are you afraid of? What's the matter? This old man is out of his mind today. He might say something shocking. It won't end well at that time!"

Xiao Yan tasted the sweetness, and he was very happy in his heart. He sincerely hoped that the old rascal Bai would get nervous a few more times.

The little emperor yawned sleepily, and said impatiently, "Master Yushi has something to do."

Bai Mochou said slowly: "The Military Council is an important post in the military, and its status is very high, and the post of military supply counselor is the top priority of the Military Council."

As soon as the old hooligan said this, Kang Shanzhen and Xiao Yan knew that the old hooligan Bai was going to transfer some people to this place where rabbits don't shit.

Military Counselor, what an important fart!But it's just a job...

"Therefore, the position of Military Supply Counselor cannot be vacancies, and I recommend it..." Bai Mochou's eyes flicked across the faces of Kang Shanzhen and Xiao Yan.

This startled Kang Shanzhen and Xiao Yan - this guy, who is going to take the knife?

But Bai Mochou said in a dignified manner: "I have recommended Lan Jian, the military commander of the five cities, to be transferred to be the Military Counselor of the Military Council. My lords, what do you think?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was very surprised!

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all had puzzled expressions on their faces, and their mouths were opened so wide that they could put stones in them.

crazy!The old bastard is crazy!

All civil and military people in the dynasty knew that Kang Shanzhen, Bai Mochou, and Xiao Yan were the three major factions in the dynasty. Kang Shanzhen was the strongest, Xiao Yan was the weakest, and Bai Mochou was in the middle.

But Bai Mochou is only the censor of Zuodu, but his influence is higher than that of Xiao Yan, who is the prime minister. The fundamental reason is that [-]% of the troops, Ma Si, the Imperial City Imperial Guard, are controlled by Bai Mochou. ——It's not a secret, the general of the Five Cities Army Masi——Lan Jian, is Bai Mochou's direct disciple, and Bai Mochou is the only one who looks after him.

However, Bai Mochou actually broke his own arm today, besides that he went crazy, is there any other explanation?

Manchu civil and military dumbfounded!

Kang Shanzhen looked suspicious, full of doubts about this matter.

Xiao Yan was also extremely shocked, but it didn't stop him from picking up a ready-made bargain, and hurriedly said: "What Bai Yushi said is very true, the Counselor of the Military Supplies Department is extremely important, and it is really appropriate for Lan Jian to be transferred to this position. The old minister seconded."

Zeng Shan and the others immediately praised and cooperated with Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan asked Kang Shanzhen again: "Master Kang, what do you think of Bai Yushi's proposal?" In his heart, he already thought that Kang Shanzhen would definitely agree with this matter.

After all, to weaken the enemy is to strengthen oneself!

Unexpectedly, Kang Shanzhen actually looked hesitant, squinted his eyes, and looked at Bai Mochou, as if he wanted to see through the deep meaning behind his back.

After all, Kang Shanzhen was scheming and scheming. He was afraid that Bai Mochou would strike later, so he did not agree hastily, but he questioned: "Bai Yushi's proposal is open to discussion. Although the Military Supply Counselor is important, the Wucheng Bingma Division is also of great significance. Transferring Lan Jian to be the Military Supply Counselor , Who will lead the position of the Army and Horse Commander of the Five Cities?"

After Kang Shanzhen said these words, everyone realized that he was indeed superior.

Although Bai Mochou has a relationship with Kang Shanzhen as a political enemy, he still applauds Kang Shanzhen for his meticulousness. If the person he proposes to serve as the Wucheng Military Division belongs to his faction, Kang Shanzhen will naturally agree.

But if the candidate he proposed is not from Kang Shanzhen's faction, or is an enemy of Kang Shanzhen, then he can naturally find a reason to suppress Lan Jian's transfer to the military supply counselor.

In this way, whether to advance or retreat is in the hands of Kang Shanzhen, and it will not benefit anyone.

Xiao Yan was used to taking advantage, so he hurriedly hit the snake with the stick and said, "Hundreds of black-clothed guards—Cheng Ye, both civil and military, young and enterprising, I highly recommend it!"

Shhh!

All the ministers looked at each other, discussing a lot, but the expression on their faces was very strange, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, it was really painful.

Who the hell doesn't know that Cheng Ye is your son-in-law, Xiao Yan?

Are you just so brazen about raising virtue and not avoiding relatives?

The little emperor Yanjing was furious in his heart, but his face showed a puzzled look, and he said in surprise: "Cheng Ye? Well... that name is not bad! But is he loyal to Dayan? Who are his close relatives? Why do you recommend it?" Him? Prime Minister Xiao, please tell me."

The little emperor's casual words pushed Xiao Yan into a corner.

"This……"

Xiao Yan didn't expect that the innocent little emperor would poke his wound so casually, and as soon as he said the words just now, he felt that he was in trouble, but it was hard to stop!

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Back to the emperor, Cheng Ye is the old minister... the son-in-law of the old minister, but he is a talent. He should be a virtuous person without avoiding his relatives. As the prime minister, the old minister should set an example."

"Hahaha... What a good one who does not shy away from relatives!"

Bai Mochou was so angry that her face flushed and her beard grew tall. She pointed at Xiao Yan's nose and snorted, "The censor should ask, where is Cheng Yexian? What is the source of this word? How is Cheng Ye's literary talent?" How about martial arts? How about the art of war? What kind of meritorious service have you made? How much hard work you have put in for the emperor and Dayan? Please tell the ministers Xiao Xiao, so that they can learn from it."

All the courtiers were stunned, thinking that Bai Mochou would attack so quickly, she would not save Xiao Yan any face.

"Oh...it's Prime Minister Xiao's son-in-law!"

The little emperor Yanjing was taken aback, but still asked with great interest: "Prime Minister Xiao, what you said is good and clever, and Bai Yushi's question was also very good just now. Come on, Prime Minister Xiao, you are in front of the crowd." In front of the courtier, answer Bai Yushi's words, so that the courtiers can learn a lot!"

"This... Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, the pain was so painful that he didn't dare to breathe, and it made him uncomfortable.

"Bai...Old rascal Bai, don't bully me too much!" Xiao Yan pointed at Bai Mochou's smug face and yelled hysterically.

"Baldy Xiao, do you dare to point at me?"

Not to be outdone, Bai Mochou rushed forward angrily.Spraying a mouthful of spittle onto Xiao Yan's face, he snorted, "What I'm asking is related to Jiangshan Sheji, how can there be half a sentence that is too deceitful?"

"Xiao Tuzi, now the emperor is asking you something. Where is Cheng Yexian? If you can't answer, you are deceiving people too much. Hmph...you dare to deceive the emperor. This...isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor? "

The crime of bullying the king?

Xiao Yan frowned, regretting endlessly in his heart-hey, this is all caused by rash advances!
