Chapter 21 Candidates
Chapter 21: Selection
Although he once told his father that he could choose an elder from the royal family to serve as the governor of Zhili, Feng Wuhen knew that this could only be the last choice. Unless the children of the royal family really had the talent of heaven and earth, or were loyal to the earth, the emperor could use it with confidence, otherwise there would be only one idle way to go. It is precisely because of this that although there were many noble ladies from the royal family, Hai Ruoxin and other women only agreed slightly and did not pay much attention. Instead, a first-class imperial concubine still remembered them vividly.
Speaking of which, the four girls are now top noble ladies, and there are so many maids I have seen in daily life. The Hai sisters are even regular guests of Lingbo Palace, so the casual women will never be able to count their fate. But the wife Feng, the wife of the governor of Huguang, left a deep impression on them. Whether it is the answer or the manners, there is no need to mention the gracefulness. The most rare thing is her appearance of being light, neither humble nor arrogant, which surprised the girls who were used to flattery. With such a generalized wife, they couldn't help but be very curious about the governor of Huguang.
Feng Wuhen listened to the statements of his wives, but thought of this familiar name. He never paid much attention to the places in Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou. It was just because the people in those places were fierce and ordinary officials were not competent at all, so it was unnecessary to install people or cultivate power. However, if an official in that kind of place was not a corrupt official, he would be a first-class capable person. Since Lingyun founded the country, most of the top-notch officials were territorial officials from those provinces, and there were also many officials who entered the center from those provinces.
His eyes suddenly lit up. If he remembered correctly, Bi Yunlun was once a regular visitor to Zuixianglou. Cui Niang once mentioned this person. At that time, he was just an agent of the governor of Huguang. He could become the governor within six years. The speed of promotion was that the former governor of Zhili, the Weijiang League of the Xinjiang Alliance was only a barely match. "Qiyan, do you think that Mrs. Bi's behavior and speech are of great origin?" Feng Wuhen asked with a serious face. If this person had too deep ties with the power in the court or was not good for him, then no matter how good his talents were, he could not be used too much, otherwise the father would be the first to pass it.
"It's not that the lady of a noble family can never produce such talents, and even if she is not good, she is also a daughter of a noble family." Yue Qiyan gave a pertinent evaluation, "But an ordinary lady is at most gentle and charming, or she doesn't know foreign affairs, so she will never be as knowledgeable as her. If it weren't for the extraordinary moments now, our sisters would like to worship him again." As soon as she said this, the other three girls nodded repeatedly to agree. It can be seen that Mrs. Bi, Feng, was deeply recognized by them.
Feng Wuhen was stunned for a while. It was hard for him to imagine that such a talented wife could tolerate her husband often lingering in the place of Fengyue. However, this aroused his curiosity. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Since you said that, it's okay to visit again, but it's too ostentatious to go together. You guys discuss it and send one person there. If you really get along, you might as well invite Mrs. Bi to come to your house to relax, so that you can also help you with your boredom."
All four girls were very happy. There were too many bondages in marriage to the royal family. Those noble ladies often only know how to flatter and their faces were really hateful. They rarely met a person who was in harmony with each other and naturally wanted to keep it and talk. They discussed for a while, and naturally the princess Hai Ruoxin could not be seen easily. As a result, the more chicks, they got another lucky start and agreed with a smile.
Feng Wuhen was thinking about asking Xiao Fangzi to go to Brother Lang to find out the news. If no one asked him to do so, Bi Yunlun would not have been promoted so quickly. I think that Zhang Shuming got into a adopted father with a wide connection and formed a golden marriage, but he was only promoted to Zhejiang Censor. This person was anomaly able to become the governor just after thirty years old.
Since he only went to Beijing to report his work, Bi Yunlun didn't care about any show and just lived in a small courtyard that he had purchased long ago. Although he was guarding Huguang and was young and became the governor, he could not show anything in the capital. At the foot of the emperor, even the cat and the dog might be a powerful person. The top officials were divided into three or six, six or nine levels, and the children of wealthy families with hereditary titles were vain. Therefore, as soon as he got the news that the governor of Zhili was vacant, he was very moved. After hearing the rumors in the capital, his wife Feng even took the lead in Qinjun Prince's Mansion. After returning, she looked overjoyed, saying that she was talking to several princesses, and she was very happy that Bi Yunlun was extremely grateful. With such a wife, what else can he ask for?
Although Feng's family was born into a noble family, the family had long been defeated, so she was very enthusiastic about her husband's future. She was familiar with poetry and books at the request of her mother since she was a child, and she also had a little hunting for her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the most important thing was her words and deeds. Sure enough, the ladies who visited this time all had a good impression of her, and invisibly added a bit of weight to her husband's career. She knew that every time her husband returned to the capital, she would definitely not forget the famous place of love and mist. She took the opportunity to make a fuss twice, but in the end she stopped after her husband secretly revealed the inside story. The career was dangerous and even better than the battlefield, so she had to turn a blind eye. Fortunately, Bi Yunlun only stopped playing scenes and had not even accepted concubines yet, which is also a small comfort to her.
The news that the concubine of the Prince Qin County Prince Yue Qiyan visited Bi Yunlun's wife Feng immediately caused an uproar in the capital. Everyone knew that Feng Wuhen was cautious in his actions and would definitely not let his wife hand over to the wife's house easily. Therefore, many people with ulterior motives guessed the inside story. However, Bi Yunlun's resume was clean and even very outstanding. Even the Minister of Personnel Xiao Yunchao could not make any mistakes. Therefore, although there were many rumors, they could not touch the root of this person.
Just one test, Feng Wuhen felt that the door of the mansion was much colder and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Among these visiting officials, the officials were about 50% to 50% of the people who were flattering. Now others thought they had a candidate in their minds, so some people gave in and their ears could be purified. However, at night, when Fan Qingcheng came to report that there were a few black wooden boxes on the door with a bitter face, his face was not good-looking.
Looking at the heavy appearance of those boxes, Feng Wuhen could determine that it must be yellow and white. The gift-giving people could not use a few boxes of stones to make a fuss. After a few servants came forward to open it, they lifted up the silk covered with pieces of silk. The dazzling color inside almost dazzled their eyes. It was strange that Feng Wuhen immediately felt a ridiculous feeling. Nowadays, there are people who are so ignorant of the importance of giving gifts. Most of them are not giving silver notes or industrial slaves. Who would give these things so blatantly? Feng Wuhen's first thought was that someone framed them. It's no wonder that he was so sensitive. The last time he was poisoned was because of the "blessing" of these things. Now he was scared.
It was Fan Qingcheng who explained on the side that the gift was the head of Prince Li's mansion. He heard that it was the job of asking the governor of Zhili for others. This inexplicable statement immediately stunned Feng Wuhen. The name of Prince Li was really familiar. If he remembered correctly, if this person had not spent money to penetrate Xiao Yunchao's way back then, Yao Mutong would not have had any trouble at all, and he would not have dealt with it so embarrassedly. But a idle prince would not have suddenly taken out these valuable things, and he didn't even understand the principle of avoiding suspicion. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew that this matter was very difficult again.
Prince Li Feng Huaizhang is the emperor's cousin. Although he never takes care of government affairs, the emperor has always been generous in view of his always peacefulness. The rewards are more generous than ordinary royal families during festivals, and even the eldest son's name is honored, so his life in the capital is considered free. At this moment, there is a distinguished guest in the palace. For example, Feng Wuhen, the hottest prince of Qin in front of his son, suddenly visited the servants of the whole mansion, which made the servants of the mansion feel a little panicked. Prince Li came to greet him in person, giving Feng Wuhen enough face.
After just looking at the surrounding scenery, Feng Wuhen knew that this emperor was not a very wealthy person. The furnishings in the hall were even a bit shabby. Those servants were even more indifferent to the table and were very timid when facing the distinguished guests. He thought for a while, exchanged greetings with a smile, and then signaled Prince Li Feng Huaizhang to send away those who served them.
"Uncle Emperor, did you send someone to my mansion to give me a few boxes of gifts last night?" Feng Wuhen asked directly, "Do you know that this makes it extremely difficult for my nephew to do. Now there are more and more people watching outside the mansion. If you put these things on the door, wouldn't it cause trouble for you? You don't know the temper of your father."
Feng Wuhen's heart-wrenching expression immediately made Prince Li blush. He was entrusted by someone, but he was not good at visiting the door in person. After weighing the pros and cons, the general manager would take action. Unexpectedly, the unknown guy had just taken office and didn't understand the worldly style very well. He threw the thing on the door and turned back. "Wuhen, this is what I did." Feng Huaizhang tried to make his face full of flattery smiles, "But it is also unresolved, otherwise I would not make it difficult for you to do it. Now your holy relative is the best, and I think there will be a distinction between the throne. I am thinking..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Wuhen, "Uncle Emperor, this statement is absolutely not allowed. Although my father and I have a father and son, my name is a monarch and minister, this great name cannot be surpassed." He was shocked by Prince Li's words. Such words were not a good reputation if they were spread. "Uncle Emperor, I will also tell you directly. This job sent by the father is not something I can decide. In the end, the candidate will still ask him to stop him. If you have a suitable person to tell me, you must not give gifts."
