Chapter 161 How can anyone ask for demotion?

Mr. He was stunned for a moment, then slowly came back to his senses and sighed: "Brother, you still have a good eye."

For a moment, the old man thought about it and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

The authority of the He family is not ordinary.

In the palace, when there was no queen, the imperial concubine was the most respected one, and the imperial concubine was the daughter of the He family.

Among the cabinet bachelors, there are disciples from the He family.

In the military, the forces controlled by the He family have exceeded a quarter of Xia's military strength.

When Ye Xuanfeng was here, he completely subdued all parties, especially the military, so the He family did not seem to have such great power.

When Ye Xuanfeng retired, the He family was already the largest family in the dynasty.

Ye Xuanfeng: "Let me do the math for you. The family of founding heroes, the status of relatives of the emperor, and now the largest faction in the military...don't you think your He family has been a little too arrogant in recent years?"

When he asked this question, Mr. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

It turns out that unintentionally, the He family has become a thorn in His Majesty's side!

If the He family was conscientious, it would be fine if the emperor couldn't find a reason, but this time He An's incident gave the emperor enough opportunity to deal with it openly and honestly.

Even if the entire He family is wiped out, no one can say anything legally. At most, they think the emperor is a bit harsh.

But for the emperor, this was settled once and for all.

"Brother Ye!"

In a hurry, Mr. He also became serious: "What should I do now?"

Ye Xuanfeng sighed: "It seems that you have finally understood. Get out of here. No matter how powerful you are, you are still no greater than His Majesty."

"Withdraw?"

Mr. He hesitated in his eyes and asked: "Is this your Majesty's intention?"

"Your Majesty didn't say that, but I think if you can take a step back, Your Majesty can feel more at ease. This matter can almost be solved."

"He An is bound to die, but how many people will be affected depends on your Majesty's decision."

Ye Xuanfeng said solemnly: "The future of the He family depends on your thoughts."

Mr. He became a little decadent and said in a daze: "I understand..."

Is this what His Majesty means?

The He family is so powerful that His Majesty is already uneasy. He has to give in at such a time. What a loss of face.

If you no longer have self-awareness, what awaits the He family will no longer be a small punishment or a big warning.

Ye Xuanfeng stared at Mr. He.

Mr. He stared at the messy dishes on the table.

After a long time, he nodded:

"The He family can retreat."

"good."

Ye Xuanfeng said: "Since you have this attitude, I will tell your Majesty, the cabinet and the military, and the He family will stay dormant for the time being."

"Then...what about the palace?"

Mr. He regretted that he sought a job for He An, but he harmed the most promising daughter of the He family.

If so, he would really have no shame in meeting the ancestors of the He family.

"Since the imperial concubine has married into the royal family, she naturally has nothing to do with the He family. She will not be implicated in the He family's affairs, so don't worry." Ye Xuanfeng said this.

For the He family, this is a consolation, and it is also a concession that His Majesty has to make.

All the power of the He family can be surrendered, but the opportunity in the palace will never be given up easily.

After all, the imperial concubine gave birth to a son!

Now His Majesty is in his prime, and when he gets old, King Yong'an will grow up, and there is a possibility of peeking into the throne.

"That's good..." Mr. He breathed a sigh of relief.



"The old man agreed?" Xiao Pingsi looked at the old man in the imperial study room.

Ye Xuanfeng was given a seat, and three feet away, he reported the results of last night's deliberations to the emperor.

"I promised, he will appease the He family. Your Majesty, just deal with it." Ye Xuanfeng sighed.

I was glad again that I didn't let my descendants have any authority.

If he makes a big fuss in the future, he won't commit any capital crime that would implicate the entire clan.

Power is intoxicating.

Xiao Pingsi put down the memorial he was reading, shook his head and said, "It's not me who can't tolerate others. The He family has become more and more pushy in recent years."

"Recovering many generals in the military, and even promoting one of their own to the position of bachelor in the cabinet, what does the He family want to do?"

Ye Xuanfeng didn't answer.

These signs are indeed very problematic.

"Even if Mr. He has no bad intentions, can his children and grandchildren be assured?"

Still silent, Ye Xuanfeng nodded in agreement.

Xiao Pingsi said: "King Yong'an is still young. When he grows up in a few decades, how big will the He family be? If he one day... wouldn't I leave him with the trouble of a foreign relative intervening in politics?

?”

Um?

Ye Xuanfeng's eyes widened and he glanced in disbelief at His Majesty, who was already calmly reviewing the memorial.

He had to wonder if he had misunderstood what he said just now.

Not daring to ask, not even daring to pretend that he heard, and not knowing if it was His Majesty's test, Ye Xuanfeng started to pretend not to hear.

Wang Feng, who was accompanying him on the side, secretly rolled his eyes.

Your Majesty, how many people have you hinted to that a certain His Highness will take over?

In front of the young master, he hinted that the King of Qin and the King of Jin had a chance; in front of the officials, he hinted that the King of Qi and the King of Wei had a chance... and now in front of Ye Guogong, he mentioned the young King Yong'an.

Your Majesty, who do you want to take over?



Morning the next day.

Mr. He, who had not been in court for a long time, and Mr. Ye Guogong, who rarely appeared in court, appeared at the same time.

Combined with yesterday, when His Majesty told the story of He An, everyone was a little embarrassed.

Before His Majesty arrived, small groups gathered together and whispered.

"Something's going to happen..."

"Mr. He is here, do you want to support He An?"

"Ye Guogong is also here. Is he afraid that the He family will go too far and come to calm down the situation for His Majesty?"

"Ye Guogong is still loyal and patriotic. The He family has been too aggressive in recent years. Today they no longer know how to restrain themselves. I'm afraid..."

"Now I'm afraid that the He family will be forced into a panic... If they are really stupid, our Daxia will be riddled with holes."

Hearing some small noises, Mr. He was secretly frightened.

Ye Xuanfeng muttered beside him: "Listen, the He family has too much grudges between the government and the opposition. If we don't retreat, we will have no chance of landing safely."

"Yes, if I didn't come today, I wouldn't even know my He family, and everyone would be shouting and beating me." Mr. He smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Suddenly, Wang Feng's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Long live your Majesty..."

There is no need to kneel down when worshiping. The ministers and ministers hold jade guides and bow down to salute.

Xiao Pingsi waved his hand, and Wang Feng understood: "If there is something to do, we will start, and if there is nothing, we will retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. He wanted to get out of work, but was stopped by Ye Xuanfeng.

I saw Yan Lanfeng from Hubu stepping forward:

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has prepared disaster relief matters in Suzhou. The list of dispatched officials is as follows. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Wang Feng went over and took the memorial.

He came back and handed it to the emperor.

Xiao Pingsi took one look and said: "That's right."

Then he asked: "Where is the directory of the Xuanjian Division?"

There was only one swordsman left in the Xuanjian Division in the capital. He immediately sent out: "Your Majesty, the Xuanjian Division already has the swordsman Ye Hongyi in the direction of Liangzhou. It is not appropriate to send him from the capital. It will waste money and food. Leave more.

It’s good to give it to the people of Suzhou.”

"Well said!" Xiao Pingsi felt very good when he heard this.

Xuan Jian Si was a member of the emperor, but he also had such a pattern, which just hit some people in the face.

In the cabinet row, Zhuge Qingshan turned back and glanced at Yan Neng.

Yan Neng wanted to raise his head and straighten his chest, but was overwhelmed by the boss's righteousness and sighed helplessly.

"For disaster relief in Suzhou, I have notified the young division at the same time, asking the young division to take charge of Suzhou and reorganize the Suzhou camp. There are eight generals, deputy generals and staff generals in the Suzhou camp. Do you have any suggestions for candidates?"

Xiao Pingsi looked at the crowd with a calm expression, and glanced at Ye Xuanfeng from the corner of his eye.

Only then did Ye Xuanfeng let go and held Old Mrs. He's hand.

The latter understood immediately, and while the ministers were still communicating, he spoke:

"Your Majesty, I would like to have the audacity to find a position for my son He Feng."

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.

It’s not that I think this way of asking for a job is inappropriate.

Instead:

"Mr. He, are you out of your mind? Your son is the commander-in-chief of the army of Gyeonggi Province. How could you seek this position for him? I'm afraid you are mistaken. You are seeking a position for your grandson?"

Someone kindly reminded him that it was an official of the He family faction, fearing that the emperor would be deceived and agree on the spot, causing He Feng to lose the position of commander-in-chief inexplicably.

The commander-in-chief of Gyeonggi Province was only a second-rank military attaché; the Suzhou garrison general was only a third-rank military officer in the past.

And in terms of power, they are completely different.

"Yes, the old man is dizzy, haha..." Everyone joked softly.

"I'm afraid I said the wrong name."

Facing everyone like this, Mr. He said:

"During my tenure in Gyeonggi Province, I didn't get enough training and almost forgot the art of war. The old minister thought that he would be busy practicing, so he hoped to give him a chance."

"Sir, please stop talking..." The officials of the He family were all frightened.

What are you doing? How can you ask yourself to be demoted and sent out to live in a difficult area?
