"Hiss!"
A series of gasps instantly sounded in the hall.
Yang Lian, the Left Vice Censor, looked at Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, and winked at him.
Of course, Zhao Nanxing knew what Yang Lian meant.
This was to let him come forward to persuade the Emperor. It was not reasonable to promote someone like this.
One had to know that when they entered the city today, Duan Hu was only a thousand households.
A sixth-grade official position.
Because of his military achievements, he was promoted to the rank of a Valiant Cavalry Lieutenant, reaching the Fifth Grade.
Moreover, he was even conferred the title of Lord of Loyalty and Bravery.
This was already a little restrictive.
However, Duan Hu's military merits were too great for everyone to say anything.
Also, the entire Great Ming Dynasty needed a victory to boost their morale.
However, in less than a day, Duan Hu had been promoted from a Fifth Grade Cavalry Officer to a Commander of the Brocade Guard.
Although it was only temporary, he was still a third-grade official.
There was a world of difference between the third and fifth grades.
However, Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, did not get up.
Firstly, he could already tell that the Emperor was determined to help Duan Hu ascend the throne.
Secondly, the appointment of the Commander of the Brocade Guard was not within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. It was directly appointed by the Emperor.
The entire hall was silent.
"I, Duan Hu, receive the decree to thank you!"
Emperor Tianqi nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, the banquet will continue. Minister Duan, please take a seat!”
Emperor Tianqi said happily.
Emperor Tianqi was happy, but the Donglin branch was deeply worried. The atmosphere in the banquet was extremely tense.
On the other hand, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian seemed to be fine. From time to time, he would raise his glass to Duan Hu.
The other person who was happy was Wei Zhongxian.
Other than Duan Hu, the biggest winner today was him. It seemed that his investment was right. Duan Hu was indeed very capable.
Ke Yinyue, who was sitting beside Emperor Tianqi, swept her beautiful eyes up and down Duan Hu's body with fervor.
The banquet in the palace ended after more than two hours.
Emperor Tianqi had returned to the palace early to rest because he could not hold his liquor.
Duan Hu did not have a house in Shangjing, and with his current status, it was not suitable for him to live in the Courier Station of the Ministry of War.
Therefore, Emperor Tianqi let Duan Hu stay in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'temporary encampment in the Imperial City.
After the banquet ended, Wei Zhongxian brought Duan Hu to the Imperial City.
The Imperial City and the Imperial Palace were not the same thing.
There were still many yamen's deployment in the Imperial City, such as the inner city's arsenal, the Guanglu Temple's inner East Hall, and the Shangbao Supervisor.
"I'll congratulate you in advance. As long as you solve the White Lotus Society case, I'm sure we'll get what we want when we return to Liaodong!”
Wei Zhongxian stood beside the carriage and said to Duan Hu.
"Haha!"
"Thank you!" Duan Hu smiled.
Duan Hu didn't say anything more and the two of them parted ways.
.......................
Outside the Imperial City, after the banquet had ended, the Chief Assistant Minister Ye Xianggao, Minister of War Sun Chengzong, Left Vice Censor Yang Lian, Left Qian Censor Zuo Guangdou, Minister of Personnel Zhao Nanxing, Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing, and Guanglu Temple Deputy Gao Panlong did not return home.
Instead, they all came to Ye Xianggao's residence to discuss countermeasures!
As for the countermeasure, it was obviously a countermeasure to deal with Duan Hu!
"He's simply too arrogant!"
Left Vice Imperial Censor Yang Lian was so angry that his face swelled,"Lord Ye, this Duan Hu seems to be very likely to have become one with the eunuchs. If we don't think of a way to curb it, I'm afraid it will cause a disaster!”
"Wei Zhongxian is only in the capital, and we can still stop him, but once Duan Hu goes to Liaodong,"
"He's already so rampant in the capital, killing people on the streets. If he goes to Liaodong, won't the people of Liaodong suffer? At that time, the rear army would press down on the border and harm the country and the people!”
Yang Lian spoke with great excitement, so much so that his hands were trembling.
Sun Chengzong sat at the side with his head lowered, not saying a word.
Ye Xianggao shook his head gently after hearing it.
"I don't think so." Ye Xianggao said softly.
"What?" "What does Lord Ye mean by this?"”
Ye Xianggao seemed to be thinking about something.
As an elder of three dynasties, he had served in the cabinet for decades. What kind of people had he not seen?
"I'm afraid Duan Hu isn't as crude and reckless as he appears to be. I'm worried that he's good at scheming.”Ye Xianggao sighed and said,"If Duan Hu is really so arrogant on the surface, it would be better. I'm afraid it's not like this!"”
Ye Xianggao's words were like a candle in the dark night, lighting up Sun Chengzong's eyes.
"That's right!"
Sun Chengzong raised his head, his eyes filled with worry.
