After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

"Your Majesty, don't forget two more people..."

Seeing that Emperor Renzong had basically finished discussing the matter, Empress Cao, who was standing by, couldn't help but whisper a reminder and signaled with her eyes to the man and woman who were kneeling at the back listening to his instructions.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, I almost forgot. Qingyun, Ruichu, you two come forward."

Emperor Renzong waved his hand and called the young eunuchs and palace maids over.

"You two are very good, very good, loyal and reliable, and you risked your own life to save the emperor."

"Orders are issued. Appoint Qingyun as the Chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, transfer him to the Crown Prince's Inner Court, and follow him around, managing the food supplies for the Eastern Palace and the palace ladies."

As soon as these words were spoken, Prince Yong, who had not yet attended the ceremony of crowning the crown prince, opened his small eyes and looked at the kneeling eunuch.

Simply put, after Prince Yong ascends the throne, Qingyun will be the eunuch serving him, which is a great honor.

"I have written to your majesty—!"

Qingyun said with some excitement that his greatest achievement in this palace coup was actually pointing out a way for Sheng Minglan to successfully seek help. Everyone knew about this and naturally had no objection.

"Rui Chu, come here, child."

This time, it was Queen Cao who took the initiative to wave her hand, beckoning the girl closer, holding her hand, and couldn't help but smile gently.

"I think it's a good idea, Your Majesty. Why don't you let me adopt you as my goddaughter and give you a title?"

Empress Cao's words made Emperor Renzong smile and nod.

"As it should be, it makes sense, Ruichu... Ruichu..."

While Emperor Renzong was still thinking, a voice spread throughout the Funing Palace, attracting many people's attention.

"New leaves are beginning to grow, and new buds are beginning to bloom."

"How about giving her the name 'Xin Fei'? It has a nice meaning."

Seeing the young man in purple robe walking towards them, Emperor Renzong and Empress Cao smiled with relief.

Prince Yong was pleasantly surprised, Gu Tingye kept shaking his head and smiling, and the Yuzhou group all looked at each other with curiosity.

"Your Majesty, may your majesty live forever!"

Han Ming bowed with a smile on his face.

"Haha, see? Our Immortal Poet even had to compose a poem to get a name. It shows he has a lot of ideas in his mind!"

Emperor Renzong smiled happily.

"I'm sure Prince Yong and Erlang are very familiar with this person. Prince Pu must be seeing him for the first time. He is the military genius and god of war of our Great Song Dynasty."

"Last year, it was Han Ming, the Marquis of Anyang, who led our army to capture cities and territories, forcing Xixia to cede territory and pay compensation."

Emperor Renzong's introduction made the eyes of Zhao Zongquan and his son light up, and they kept looking at each other.

"Greetings to Prince Pu, Crown Prince." Han Ming bowed in greeting.

"Han Hou is so polite!" x2

Although Zhao Zongquan and his son are now in high positions, they dare not be arrogant in front of Han Ming. After all, he is a great god and everyone who meets him must worship him.

"Prince Yong, this is the last hero I mentioned who saved me. How do you think we should reward him?"

"Ah this..."

Prince Yong's brain short-circuited for a moment. He didn't understand how Han Ming, who had never been seen during the entire palace coup, could be considered a hero who saved the emperor.

"Your Highness seems unaware of this. I am now temporarily taking over the position of Deputy Privy Councilor of the Privy Council."

Han Ming just looked at the chubby Prince Yong with a smile.

“Uh(⊙o⊙)…”

“Huh?”

“WhatΣ(⊙▽⊙“a”

“Ah(owo?)!”

"..."

"His Majesty..."

Prince Yong's mouth twitched as he looked at the smiling Emperor Renzong and Empress Cao.

"Why? Who do you think issued the order from the Privy Council to mobilize the troops?"

Emperor Renzong's smile grew wider.

Seeing this, Di Liang also hurriedly stepped out and clasped his fists in reply: "I don't know whether it was Your Majesty's or Marquis Han's intention, but the Privy Council's order is definitely correct."

"Therefore, I led the Sun-Bearing Tenwu Army into the Imperial Palace early on to garrison there. Upon learning that His Highness and his family were entering the palace and heading towards Shunde Hall, I set up an ambush in advance."

Di Liang's words also made everyone realize that although all these arrangements seemed to have nothing to do with Han Ming, they were actually all traps set by this kid, waiting for Prince Yan to fall into them.

"Then may I ask Lord Han, this side of me..."

Zhao Zongquan knew that if he didn't ask clearly at this time, he would not be able to sleep well when he returned home, so he might as well ask clearly in front of the emperor and the prince.

Han Ming smiled slightly, said nothing, and turned to look at Emperor Renzong.

"I originally intended to summon you to the capital to take up your post soon, but Prince Yan's rebellion is raging. Marquis Han suggests that we allow Prince Pu to come to the capital to assist the emperor and share the credit for rescuing him."

The fact that the matter was confessed so openly made Prince Yong, Zhao Zongquan and his son, Gu Tingye and others break out in cold sweats.

They knew that they had become pawns in the hands of the emperor and Han Ming, and the fact that the emperor could get the emperor involved in such a dangerous plan showed how courageous the Marquis of Anyang was.

"Oh, did I talk too much, haha."

Emperor Renzong's words were not just extraneous, but a disguised reminder to Prince Yong and others to stop provoking Han Ming.

"I've strayed off topic. Prince Yong, you'll soon be the crown prince and the future emperor of the Song Dynasty. You can do whatever you want with this kid."

Emperor Renzong was paving the way for Prince Yong to see if he could win Han Ming's heart and use him for his own purposes.

"Um... Your Majesty, the Three Departments are still lacking a chief officer. Do you think it would be possible to let Marquis Han be the chief officer..."

Prince Yong's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Emperor Renzong.

Han Ming wanted to laugh in his heart. How could he be so scared when he saw the government when he was so arrogant and domineering before?

"Han Hou, what do you think of King Yong's proposal?"

Emperor Renzong sighed helplessly. For the first time, he thought that it would be better to have someone with some ability like Prince Yan to sit on the throne.

"not so good..."

Han Mingshun blurted out his true feelings. The next second, Di Liang and Gu Tingye quickly covered their faces and coughed to remind each other.

"Ahem... What I'm saying is that I'm currently serving as the Deputy Privy Councilor. If I were to take over the position of the Three Commissioners, I'd be overwhelmed. I hope Your Majesty and Your Highness will consider this carefully."

Although Han Ming spoke quickly, the group of people still heard the silence in his tone.

Prince Yong's face flushed red and he was speechless for a long time.

This alone shows that King Yong was a mediocre ruler with great ambitions but little talent and ability.

But it seemed quite good to Han Ming. After all, if the emperor who would succeed him in the future was a radical and capable person like Prince Yan or Zhao Zongquan, it would be a question whether he could keep the other party under control.

The Song Dynasty cannot afford too much turmoil now. If it wants to reform and eliminate the "three redundancy problems", it is better to do it slowly.

This is also why Han Ming took great pains to preserve the relationship with Prince Yong. However, in the eyes of Emperor Renzong at this time, he seemed to think that he might have chosen the wrong heir.

"Marquis Han is right. Prince Yong, draft an edict. Han Ming is loyal and patriotic, and has made great contributions in saving the emperor. He is officially promoted to Deputy Privy Councilor, Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Palace, Acting Minister of the Six Departments and Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and appointed as the Remote Jiedushi of Xiangzhou."

When Emperor Renzong announced this series of appointments, everyone looked at Han Ming, who was in his twenties, in astonishment.

"Halfway into becoming a prime minister?"

It was Shen Congxing's first time to participate in such a high-level meeting, and he accidentally lost control of his mouth and blurted out something.

This frightened Zhao Zongquan so much that he immediately turned around and glared at the other person fiercely.

Shen Congxing immediately knelt on the ground and said: "I have spoken carelessly, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Your Majesty, I, your brother-in-law, am so ignorant of etiquette. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Zhao Zongquan immediately pleaded for mercy for his brother-in-law.

"Ignorance is not a crime. Mr. Shen will be an official in the future. You will get used to it after seeing it more often. For our young Han Xianggong, this reward is nothing."

Emperor Renzong waved his hand and showed no concern.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" x2

"Oh, Your Majesty, where did this conversation go? Aren't we talking about Ruichu's title?"

Queen Cao smoothed things over and brought everyone back to their senses.

"Right, Ruichu's matter is important. Let's follow Marquis Han's wishes and give her the title 'Xinfei' and grant her the same title as the royal princess."

"Girl, from now on you will be my little princess."

Emperor Renzong smiled and patted the girl's head.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Two tears ran down Ruichu's eyes as she knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Renzong and Empress Cao.

Han Ming smiled as he saw that the girl who died saving the emperor in the original drama was able to receive the reward she deserved, and nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.

"My Lords, the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony will be held in three days. All fifth-rank officials in the capital must be present. I will read the imperial edict of succession in public!!!"

Emperor Renzong ended the meeting in Funing Hall.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I accept your order."

Everyone bowed and prepared to leave.

"Prince Pu, you have just arrived in the capital and probably don't have a residence yet. Stay in the palace tonight. Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find out if there is any vacant palace in the capital and allocate one to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zongquan immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Also, your families are all in Yuzhou. If it's inconvenient, you can bring them to live in Bianjing. It's always better for everyone to be together than to live apart."

Emperor Renzong looked at Zhao Zongquan with a smile. He was very satisfied with Prince Pu who was so sensible.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will arrange everything as soon as possible." Zhao Zongquan bowed and answered calmly.
