Chapter 27 Excuse
Death of a royal spy is just a trivial matter, but for those old people who have been in the circle for many years, the shock is still huge. As the emperor's most trusted confidant, Xia Wuyu ended up like this once he lost favor. How could others not be frightened? Only a few people with higher ranks in the secret spy know the emperor's intentions. The spy is just a loyal dog belonging to the royal family. If he loses a word of loyalty, the emperor will throw them away without hesitation.
Although Xia Wuyu asked the envoy behind the scenes, the emperor could no longer make up his mind to deal with it sternly and resolutely. In just one year, the second prince Feng and the fifth prince Feng Wuzhao embarked on the road of no return one after another. If he forced him, Feng Wuyan might follow their footsteps. This consequence was something the emperor didn't want to bear. However, Feng Wuzhao in the northwest had already given him a headache. It was even more indifferent that he was talented and intelligent, and the famous Feng Wuyan in the scholars. I hope he could be more peaceful in Jiangnan. The emperor thought tiredly, don't let me really make up my mind to eradicate the cancer in the court.
Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang's handling was indeed not beyond everyone's expectations. Since they had already dealt many things before, they were only dismissed. Xiao Yunchao privately revealed the emperor's intention to Feng Wuhen, let Guo and Lu stay idle for a while, and then slowly recover after a period of time. At that time, the actual shortcomings of at least one Taoist platform will be absolutely impossible. With the ability of the two of them and their flattery, coupled with Feng Wuhen's management and Xiao Yunchao's operation, the two of them will be able to regain the position of a rank of chief officials in less than two years.
Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang sat in the palace of Qin County Prince, feeling like they were a different life. Although they did not suffer much in Dali Temple, the jail was tempered by their state of mind. The two of them were used to being pampered and had a very strong position in their lives. They fell to such a state of mind for a while, and the huge gap almost knocked them down. Fortunately, they have been successfully relieved of their crimes and have fallen into their careers. The big stone in their hearts finally came to an end.
"Hanqing, Lunlun, do you two have a mansion in the capital?" Feng Wuhen comforted the two with kind words, and then asked with concern.
"Your Highness, I'm going to tell you that Xiaguan originally had a courtyard in the suburbs of the city, and the real estate in the capital was inherited from the ancestors. Now, the children of the family in the family saw that Xiaguan's direct line was in decline, so they wanted to take over. Gu Nei was from a scholarly family and had always been unfamiliar with the arguments. Now they had to live in a rented house. If she hadn't come to visit the prison a few days ago, Xiaguan would have been in the dark." Guo Hanjin remembered the scenery of the past, and looked at the current destruction, and almost burst into tears. In order to avoid losing his etiquette, he had to turn his head.
"There are many people in the world who take advantage of the situation, how many people are helping with it in time?" Lu Simang said indignantly, as if he had forgotten what he did in Fujian. "Several relatives of the officials were curious about it at the time, but now they have been hiding after hearing this. Fortunately, Zhuo Jing is a leader who can manage the family, otherwise they would have been wiped out by that little family background."
Feng Wuhen felt emotion, no matter what, Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang really married two virtuous wives, otherwise they would have to be nagged to death next time. "Since Lun has a place to live, I won't say anything. Hanqing, don't pay attention to those who have no laws. There are still many empty houses in the palace. The emperor and the officials all know that you have a close relationship with me, so you will be in the palace for a while. Those people are all brave masters. Once you recover, who will dare to occupy your ancestral house?"
Guo Hanjin couldn't help but be overjoyed. If outsiders saw Feng Wuhen treating him so politely, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future recovery and promotion. Lu Simang was stunned for a while, then looked at his colleagues beside him with jealous eyes and said sourly: "Old Guo, you are so lucky. I wish I had no place to live now. Hehe, if the seventh prince can take you in, those bastards in your family may be panicked, right?" The following words mean more teasing.
"Go to you! I didn't even let this go, and I was so angry!" Guo Hanjin punched Lu Simang in dissatisfaction, and just now he was relieved that he was in Feng Wuhen's palace. He quickly pushed Lu Simang for a while and returned to his posture of sitting upright. Feng Wuhen saw the two of them signing their bodies, and he felt secretly amused. They must have been stuffy in prison for too long. Now that they are in a good mood, it is unlikely that they will lose their elegance.
"Okay, this matter is decided. If you are free, you might as well visit more in Beijing. After all, you have been an official in Fujian for too long and have not many acquaintances in the circle of officials in Beijing. Now it is the best time to climb the same hometown in the same year. However, just talk about some romantic affairs, don't talk about current affairs. You are all people who have just been exempted from crime, and you need to cherish your reputation. It's fine to get some friendship this time."
Feng Wuhen and Chen Lingcheng and Shi Jingqi have been discussing for a long time in the past few days, but decided to tie the two of them to their side, so they had to give a few more instructions. In terms of official experience, both of them are old men, and even so, they were framed and overturned. It can be seen how deep the current waters are.
"What Your Highness said is very true, we will write it down." Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"Okay, you ran to my place as soon as you came out. I think you were tired. Go back first and settle down. The King of Japan in the Ming Dynasty held a private banquet to get you bad luck!" Feng Wuhen picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
Guo and Lu knew that this was a visit, so they quickly stood up and said goodbye, left the door of the palace, and they looked at each other and finally got through a difficult situation. Thinking of the previous panic and despair, they stretched out their hands at the same time, with a look of confidence on their faces.
"When will Xiao Fangzi come out?" I have always been used to the feeling of Xiao Fangzi being around me. Once this boy is missing, Feng Wuhen is really not used to it. "He has been imprisoned for more than 20 days, and it is really unfavorable to drag it like this. Hasn't the father already dealt with Xia Wuyu?"
Chen Lingcheng's brows were still tightened, "After all, this matter depends on the emperor's mood. Xiao Fangzi is very smart and used the emperor's hand to remove Xia Wuyu, who interrogated him. However, this move will definitely arouse others' dissatisfaction. If it backfires, this kid will not even cry. So wait."
Feng Wuhen nodded helplessly and turned to Shi Jingqi, "Xuchang, have there been some news from the northwest in the capital recently?" Since reaching an agreement with Wei Wenlong, Feng Wuhen secretly found some people to insert them into various restaurants and restaurants to collect information, and all the things summarized were under Shi Jingqi's management. In Shi Jingqi's words, it was that he was full of trivial pieces, and it was harder to integrate them into useful information than climbing to the sky.
However, Shi Jingqi's face was a little confused at this time, "There is not much news about the Northwest, but I have heard a strange rumor. A few days ago, two strange-dressed people were having dinner in the private room of Deyue Tower. They seemed to have mentioned after drinking that Zhan Pohan, the commander of the Pokémon Camp, had once been a big guard."
"What!" Feng Wuhen and Chen Lingcheng exclaimed at the same time. The news was too horrifying. If Zhan Pohan was the emperor, Feng Wuzhao's so-called seizure of power from beginning to end was a farce. "Is this news reliable?" Feng Wuhen asked in a low voice, "Does anyone else know?"
"That young man just listened to the drunkenness and had no other reactions. The report was just because there was nothing else that day, otherwise it would have delayed a valuable news." Shi Jingqi also felt glad. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, it was very involved. The queen in the deep palace and Feng Wuzhao who was far away in the northwest were actually in the hands of one person.
"What do you think of Mr. Chen?" Feng Wuhen turned his head uneasyly, feeling a deep fear in his heart. If Zhan Pohan was really a chess piece set up by his father in advance, then everything had been decided long ago. No one could bear the consequences of being betrayed by the person he trusted the most, and Feng Wuzhao was even more so. He was just a prince who had been spoiled since childhood and the queen who had the most hope of winning the throne. If he really failed this time, then two princes had fallen in the battle for the throne. Although he had already prepared for the bloody situation, Feng Wuhen still shivered.
"Your Highness, the truth is not necessarily known. You don't need to worry too much." Chen Lingcheng saw the concerns in the prince's heart, "Now we are just taking advantage of the situation to make full preparations. Once this news is confirmed, the northwest will definitely have a general again. Prince Duan Feng Huanjie is no longer able to return to the northwest due to previous impeachment. It is particularly merciful that the emperor does not deprive him of his title of prince. In this way, only one of the royal children is qualified to take over the position of general." The smile on Chen Lingcheng's face became more and more profound.
"Why is Chen talking about Prince An?" Feng Wuhen suddenly realized that this cousin always valued himself quite a lot. If he could take charge of the powerful soldiers, he would undoubtedly be the biggest helper. "The emperor is already a little afraid that the power of his mother's side is too large. If it were not necessary, he would probably not let Prince An out of the capital easily." He was not as optimistic as Chen Lingcheng. Now the forces belonging to Prince Yu in the six ministries accounted for at least half, and included the most important Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of Revenue. Once Feng Wufang had another chance to show his skills, he would probably have more Councils among the court officials.
"No one in the royal family can afford such great use, and the emperor probably has no choice." Shi Jingqi interrupted, and his heart suddenly became clear. "Although Zhan Pohan is a talented general, he has no background and cannot be recognized by the upper class of the army. Moreover, this position is awesome, and the emperor cannot suddenly reuse it. The biggest possibility is to transfer him back to the capital. It seems that congratulations to Your Highness. Prince An is the only one who can get along with Your Highness among so many princes, which is also a great fate."
Feng Wuhen sighed softly, Brother Wufang, it seems that your intention to watch the wall is about to fail. If the battle for the throne is missing, what's the fun of you?
