Chapter 22 Turnaround
Chapter 22 Turning around
The emperor who sent someone to give gifts to Feng Wuhen was naturally hidden from the fact that Prince Li sent someone to give gifts to Feng Wuhen was so many that he frowned and did not say anything. However, when Feng Jue reported that Feng Wuhen visited Prince Li's mansion and sent someone to return everything, the emperor's mood suddenly became relaxed. It was not that he knew that he had a big problem for his son, but only if Feng Wuhen could withstand all kinds of pressures could he gain a foothold in a more chaotic situation in the future.
Just a few days ago, Feng Juejie sent a strange letter, which clearly stated that his four sons had formed a party to advance and retreat. Although the incident was long as the emperor expected, he still felt a slight depressed and helpless. Feng Wuyan, Feng Wujing, and Feng Wuwu were injured. These four people accounted for nearly half of the total number of princes today, and they were all already in the family. If they really had any abnormal movements and were not careful, the country would be in danger of being hurt. It seems that these evils really cannot allow me to start and end well. Even if I am still healthy, I will not know how to make trouble in the future.
"Your Majesty, Lord Bao has a secret letter to deliver it." Wang Hai hurried into the hall to report the report with a secret box.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, but he felt a strange feeling in his heart. The matter of Huai'an had come to an end, but Bao Huasheng had not returned yet and repeatedly made secret statements to find out the truth, which made him a little annoyed. The major events in the court were chaotic. Although he rejected the comments on Hai Guanyu's remarks, due to the unscrupulous conversation, there was a gap between the monarch and the ministers. Bao Huasheng seemed a little unwise to disturb Huai'an at this critical moment. The emperor thought that he had investigated for so long but still had no news, which shows that the person behind the scenes was not easy. If the matter in Huai'an was really from that man's work, Bao Huasheng would definitely not find out any good.
However, after scanning the content of the memorial, the emperor knew that he had underestimated Bao Huasheng's determination. The memorial was tens of thousands of words, and it was copied by Bao Huasheng himself. He clearly recorded everything he had investigated in a beautiful small calligraphy. The right censor was also a meticulous person. He sent a servant to inquire about the interpersonal relationships of the Yin family, but secretly changed his usual dress and walked around the streets and started a small business. After a while, he talked to the people around the Yin family.
Bao Huasheng was originally from the Han family and had no airs. How could ordinary people clearly distinguish it? So after a month, he was asked to understand the situation of the Yin family clearly. The name Yin Qianshan quickly attracted the excitement of others. After learning that this person might have escaped from the fire in advance, Bao Huasheng immediately became concerned and ordered the officers to pay attention to the whereabouts of the person. In the end, he learned that the person might have fled to the capital.
"What a courage!" The emperor suddenly sneered. Shi Liushun and Wang Hai, who were standing beside him, were both startled. They looked at each other and pretended to be nothing. "It's really because they thought of the dark trick under the light. Unfortunately, they met Bao Huasheng and were too smart to play with this little cleverness!"
He glanced at the two eunuchs beside him and shouted in a deep voice: "You two go out and call Feng Jue in! Without my instructions, no one is allowed to get close to here."
Shi Liushun and Wang Hai responded repeatedly and tiptoed out of the hall. They knew that as long as Feng Jue came out, someone would definitely be in trouble again. These days, the emperor trusted few people, and ministers who enjoyed the right to write secrets and indirect comments, the ones who favored him the most were Hai Guanyu and Bao Huasheng. Even He Xiao had to stand aside. I wonder what the cold-faced and ruthless censor discovered. There was a strange idea in their minds at the same time. The emperor seemed to have summoned Feng Jue more and more recently. Isn’t it that there was another bloody storm?
As soon as Feng Jue entered the hall, he fell to the ground and did not dare to look up. He knew that his errands had not been done very well recently. If it weren't for the emperor's absence, he wouldn't have tolerated himself until now. But he was really frustrated and never knew that anyone could predict the enemy's opportunity in everything, and it would be fine if he didn't show any flaws. He was often so tired that he was so tired that he was too busy. Therefore, he often had a good deal.
"Feng Jue, I have another thing to hand over to you today!" The emperor's voice was cold and stern, "If you can atone for your sins, I will not bother to pursue the dereliction of duty before, but if you make any mistakes, you should know what the outcome will be!"
"I must do my best." Feng Jue repeated the words he had said a thousand times, and a strange color flashed through his expression. If there was no success this time, he would have to think about the way to escape. Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. He doesn't want to destroy his life in this deep palace, at least not now.
The emperor gave a few more instructions, and then Feng Jue retreated. Seeing the door of the hall closed again, he suddenly remembered Hai Guanyu's last suggestion. Yes, although royal spies are all over the palaces of court officials, they often only occupy some minor positions and cannot inquire about the major actions of officials from various families. Hai Guanyu actually asked himself to send a reliable person to serve him in a manner that was undoubtedly an open mind.
Who should I send? The emperor began to think again that the only reliable eunuchs around him were those who were the eunuchs. According to the etiquette system, Hai Guanyu's official position and age should be qualified to be served by eunuchs, so I sent him two neat people. Since I had made a clear calculation, the emperor called Shi Liushun in loudly and told him to select two smart eunuchs, and sent them to Haifu after the teaching was completed.
Shi Liushun immediately understood the emperor's intentions, agreed and hurriedly went to the office. Which of the little eunuchs who served in the palace did not want to assign a good master, otherwise they would not be ordered to be ordered in their entire lives, and they would have to be stepped on by other eunuchs. However, there were only a few well-known roles in the palace. After following a bad-hearted master, he would be beaten to death even worse. Therefore, it was undoubtedly a bad person to go to Haifu to serve him. According to his thoughts, the two little apprentices he had taken before were driven. Instead of letting them get beaten step by step in the palace, it would be better to send them out.
After Prince Li sorted out his ideas, Feng Wuhen finally knew how hot this mission was. All parties who covet the position of Governor of Zhili were sacred, and they had to suppress all these people and take out a candidate who could finally make the emperor nod. It seems more difficult now than climbing to heaven.
On this day, Xiao Fangzi brought him news about Brother Lang. Sure enough, Bi Yunlun was a frequent visitor of Zuixianglou. He threw away no less than tens of thousands of dollars in Beijing every year, and he exchanged for more things. Therefore, he could avoid many dangers and get promoted smoothly. Fortunately, the Bi family was in a very good place. Although it was not a family, the investment in money was continuous. Therefore, he did not plunder it in his post, but he left a good official example.
"Your Highness really likes this person?" Chen Lingcheng saw Feng Wuhen thinking blankly, and couldn't help but ask, "If you really make a decision, you might as well let him go to the palace to talk. The Governor of Huguang is not the top official at the level of the Governor. Bi Yunlun has not defected to He Xiao's family and has been wandering around. Why don't Your Highness take advantage of the opportunity to keep him to serve?"
Feng Wuhen looked extremely distressed and shook his head and said, "I am not sure about my father's intentions. Even if I really recommend this person, I cannot communicate with him too blatantly. Alas, now I am really in the abyss and walking on thin ice. My identity is not awkward or embarrassing, and I really can't do anything."
Shi Jingqi next to him felt aroused in his heart. This master had never expressed this meaning, and today it was strange. Although it was a little different from the past since Feng Wuhen recovered from illness, it was really contrary to his original intention. Does he really want to fight for something?
"Your Highness, since you have taken this hot potato, it is probably impossible for you to let go." Shi Jingqi smiled, "Unless you want to make the emperor Longyan furious, you have to continue. To be honest, there are many talented officials who have visited recently. Don't miss it. The opportunity is rare!"
Feng Wuhen could not hear the intention between the lines of his confidant, but he really could not agree with the fact that he could find a few capable people among the officials with dirty faces. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "A truly talented person will never get involved in these people. Xuchang is probably disappointed. These people are too enthusiastic about their careers and are easily become fences. I dare not use such people."
"Your Highness is wrong." Chen Lingcheng suddenly took a step forward and said solemnly, "The current trend is to curry favor with the powerful and powerful to rise. Driving with the flow is the general trend. How many of those noble people can stand out? The Qingliu in the court is only the censors of the Supervisory Office. Although Lord Bao is honest, he is not pedantic. Don't you see that his family will give gifts on any festive day of the powerful and powerful family? Don't forget that Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang were also such people back then."
Feng Wuhen was stunned for a long time. He realized that his mood had become too chaotic recently and he was a little too hasty in many things. Although he had to choose a central candidate for the selection of the governor of Zhili this time, he could keep it for himself or try to win over him. How could he become such a pedantic person? It should be noted that although it is reasonable to be close to the wise ministers and stay away from the villain, his current goals are different, so he naturally had to collect all kinds of useful people. Even the emperor could not be able to do this, so why can't he get along with the future?
"Old Chen, thank you for reminding me. I am really confused over the days, so I am not good at acting." Feng Wuhen thanked sincerely, and turned to Shi Jingqi who was thinking about it. "Now it is indeed an opportunity to recruit people. Those who take the opportunity to fight Qiu Feng do not have to refuse. Let Fan Qingcheng see what prominent roles are there, and those who are suitable may stay. As for officials, although I don't have time to meet one by one, Xuchang, you can take the time to meet those who are not of high rank and just speak carefully. In short, my father's attitude is not clear now, and I have to wait for an opportunity to protect myself. No one can tell the truth about the future."
