The king behind the empress

Chapter 352

Twenty miles away from the capital, when Han Qu was waiting for the messenger's news in the big tent, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Although he and Mo Yuanzhen, the king of Bei'an, are not all the same, he is not sure whether Mo Zizai can trust him. In addition, his [-] frontier troops were transferred back at the suggestion of King Bei'an, which will undoubtedly make Mo Zizai more confident. doubt yourself.

In this way, it's really hard to say what choice Mo Zizai will make.

In fact, he was not afraid of what Mo Zizai would do to him. Since he decided to come to the capital, he had no intention of going back alive. As for whether he died at the hands of Mo Zizai or the rebels, he didn't care.

After all, Mo Zizai had completely disappointed Mo Zizai when he exchanged soldiers for war horses with grasslands. If it wasn't for the kindness of the former emperor, even if he didn't seek refuge with Mo Yuanzhen, he would have resigned directly.

But I'm fine if I die, but this Wanbian army and their family members can't die. They are all brothers who have followed me for many years and have been born and died together. Now I have brought them into the fire pit of the capital. They died at the hands of their own people, and they were accused of treason, so they can't rest in peace even if they die.

Han Qu looked in the direction of the capital, his eyes full of worry, and now he could only pray silently in his heart that the worst situation would not happen, otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.

Just when Han Qu was feeling extremely tormented, the messenger he sent hurried back, and behind him was an eunuch in brocade robes.

After seeing these two people, Han Qu's anxious heart immediately settled down.

Although he didn't know what the result was waiting for him, but now that the result was coming soon, he could treat it with a normal heart.

"The last general, Han Qu, has met your father-in-law."

Although Han Qu has a bad temper, he is not unreasonable, so after seeing the brocade-robed eunuch, he politely stepped forward and bowed.

"Oh, General Han is too polite."

The brocade-robed eunuch stepped aside slightly, avoiding Han Qu's gift, "Our family is just a small manager, so I dare not accept such a gift from General Han."

Han Qu is the garrison of the Fengzhou Mansion, a dignified general of the fourth rank, and he is only a eunuch in charge of the seventh rank, so he is not qualified to receive Han Qu's gift, and now the eunuchs in the palace are managed by Qiu Wuping, he This person is the most respectful of rules, if he dares to accept Han Qu's gift so carelessly, Director Qiu will have to let him take off a layer of skin when he returns.

"I have troubled my father-in-law to travel so far. Han's salute to his father-in-law is a due courtesy, and his father-in-law should not care about it."

Han Qu casually took out an ingot of gold from his bosom, and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, it's a small thing, it's not a respect."

Looking at the ingot of gold in his hand, the eunuch felt a little bit reluctant, but in the end he gave a wry smile, and put it on Han Qu's handsome table, "Forgive me, General Han, the rules in the palace are strict, this thing, our family is really I dare not accept it, and I hope the general will not harm our family."

"This……"

Han Qu was slightly surprised. He could see the reluctance and greed in the eunuch's eyes clearly, but in the end he was able to hold back the desire in his heart and put the ingot of gold back. China is still very strict.

Thinking of this, Han Qu felt at ease, and knew the leopard from a glimpse. From the eunuch's response, it can be seen that the rules in the palace are not chaotic, and as long as there are still rules in the palace, the capital will not be too chaotic. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Da Zhou.

Thinking of this, Han Qu stopped being polite to the eunuch, but asked, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, how does His Majesty plan to arrange for us?"

Seeing Han Qu asking about something serious, the eunuch took out the imperial decree with a serious face and read it out.

After Han Qu accepted the imperial decree, the eunuch looked at Han Qu with a smile, and said, "Congratulations to General Han, you have been promoted to the post-military governor's mansion and the commander-in-chief."

Han Qu was originally a garrison in Fengzhou Mansion, belonging to the fourth rank, and then the military governor Tongzhi was from the first rank, but in terms of rank, Han Qu was promoted to five ranks at once.

But in many cases, accounts are not calculated in this way. The functions of the Fifth Army Commander’s Mansion have long been abolished, and most of its powers have been divided up by the Ministry of War. The current Fifth Army Commander’s Mansion is a general’s nursing home, and he was thrown into the Fifth Army. The Governor's Mansion means that he has no possibility of commanding the Ten Thousand Frontiers.

Although this result was already expected by Han Qu, and this result was much better than the worst result he expected, but after hearing the news at this time, he still couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

He rushed back from the northern border with a heart of serving the country, but was thrown into the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion for retirement. Although he could understand Mo Zizai's scruples, he was still a little unwilling.

"General Han, General Han..."

The Xuanzhi eunuch yelled twice before calling Han Qu over from his trance. Looking at the worried eyes of the Xuanzhi eunuch, Han Qu smiled bitterly, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Father-in-law, Han Qu just now I'm a little distracted, don't know what you just said?"

"It's like this, the prince has an order to let you take the frontier troops to camp in the camp of the Habayashi Army first. The prince and General Wei Huangwei are waiting for you in the camp of the Habayashi Army."

"Stationed in the Habayashi Army camp?"

Han Qu thought for a while, then nodded silently, and replied: "Okay, Han will let the army go."

It is actually a bit risky to bring the frontier army into the camp of the Habayashi Army, because if Mo Zizai has any other ideas, he only needs to set up an ambush in the camp, and he can easily kill the Wanbian army. Catch them all.

But Han Qu has no choice. Since he has come to the capital, there must be a compromise. Now Mo Zizai obviously has no intention of compromising, so he can only compromise on his own.

All I can do now is to pray that Mo Zizai has no other thoughts, and to be careful when entering the Habayashi Army camp. If there is a trap, it would be good to detect it as soon as possible.

Just now Han Qu saluted and bribed the eunuch Xuanzhi. Although the eunuch Xuanzhi did not accept it, he still had a good impression of Han Qu. Now seeing Han Qu's worried eyes, he probably understood what Han Qu was worried about, so he smiled , reminded in a somewhat cryptic manner: "Master Han, our family heard that the prince wants to restore the functions of the five-army governor's mansion. Now that you are the governor and acquaintance, I'm afraid you will have to be busy in the future."

"Ok?"

Han Qu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand what the eunuch Xuanzhi meant. He looked at the eunuch Xuanzhi with some hesitation, and asked, "What do you mean by my father-in-law?"

"You have been at the northern border all year round, so you may not know the news about the capital."

Because it wasn't something that couldn't be said, the eunuch Xuanzhi didn't hide too much, and explained to Han Qu: "Those people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies before participated in the assassination of the prince, and they were all chopped off by the prince."

"The current Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is just an empty shell. It can be said that it is innocent and cannot be more innocent. Therefore, the prince is determined to restore the functions of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies play its role again."

"Although you are only a co-knowledgeer of the military governors, you are currently the highest-ranking person in the five military commanders' mansions."

"If our family says this, can General Han understand?"
