Chapter 27: Out of the Palace (1)
Fang Yingshou muttered, "Could this be the case?" ”
Jing Diyi said, "Naturally, since she is gone, you don't have to think about it anymore and ask for trouble." Drink sweet soup, and have a bowl be brought to you. ”
……
After the next dynasty, the emperor left Feng Michu behind, and the candidate for the Zhongshu order after the resignation of the official has not been decided so far, and now the ministers in the court are either the Feng Party or the Lu Party, and the emperor wants to cultivate henchmen who can be used for themselves, and he also likes Ganyu, who has just been an official and has a simple background.
It's just that he mentioned it again earlier, but it was jointly opposed by the ministers of civil and military affairs. He knew very well that if he wanted Ganyu to sit in this position, he would first have to agree with Feng Michu, and everything would go smoothly. The emperor asked him to make this year's white silver needle, after Feng Mi's first salute, the emperor said, "I have ordered someone to go to Lu Mansion to condemn the crime, Mrs. Lu made something out of nothing, causing Mrs. Feng to be wronged, reading that she was ill and not very conscious, let her meditate in the house and copy the scriptures after she was cured." I heard that these medicinal herbs such as skullcap and sand kernels can be used to protect the fetus, and I have ordered someone to send them to the house. ”
Feng Michu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Mrs. Feng is from the same clan as me and is Pingle's mother-in-law, and I am a monarch and a minister with you, but we are also relatives. ”
This morning, Sun Ming mentioned the incident of the two wives of Feng and Lu facing off in court last night, and his words even hinted that Lu Cunxi first connived at his wife to win over the wives and concubines of officials in the DPRK and China to gather party henchmen for her husband, and then instructed her to deliberately frame her.
The emperor thought that Jing Diyi was involved, and Feng Michu would not easily end the matter, but he didn't expect Feng Michu to say a few words of understatement, only saying that there was just a misunderstanding last night, and there was a meaning of not pursuing it in his words, which made the people who originally wanted to make a big fuss about it shut up one after another.
"I still remember that when Lord Feng followed the emperor to help the emperor to remove the chaos and eliminate the internal strife of the pseudo-emperor and the four seas, he was only eighteen years old, and the emperor once said that a young talent like Lord Feng would be like Qi Huan Gong to manage Zhong, so why worry about the big thing, a character like an adult, it is difficult to produce one in a hundred years. ”
Feng Michu said modestly, "That's the first emperor's false praise, the ministers are shallow in learning, and the first emperor does not give up the important task, and he spares no effort just to think about not living up to the previous emperor's commission." ”
"I look at Ganyu, although she is still young and not experienced enough to deal with things and lacks some stability, but she has a bit of the demeanor of an adult when he was young, and he is eager to learn and progress in everything. ”
"Gan Dacai is a real young talent, like the rising sun and full of vitality. "Last time, the emperor and Chen Musheng came to Fengfu together, so he knocked on the side to see how he would react if he held Ganyu and sat on the seat of Zhongshu Ling, and at that time he bluntly said that Ganyu was not suitable, so that the emperor was not very happy, but he didn't expect to bring it to the court to discuss it today.
The emperor hinted, "Lord Feng also thinks that Ganyu is a talent, so you might as well mention it in the future." ”
Feng Michu said, "How important is this position in the book order, I don't need to say much about it." It's not because Gan Yu is young and lacks experience that he thinks it's inappropriate for him to sit in this position, and Gan Luo was only twelve years old when he was prime minister, which shows that ability has nothing to do with age. ”
The emperor pondered Feng Michu's words, wondering if his words were saying that he was ignorant of people's abilities, and the person he fancied was embarrassed.
Feng Michu smiled and said earnestly, "The emperor still remembers a sentence in the emperor's "Book of Rites University", a word of affairs, one person determines the country, who the emperor wants to promote is actually just one sentence, but put the unsuitable person in the inappropriate position, has the emperor thought about the consequences? ”
"I'm just trying to promote someone, so why bother talking about it so serious. "I haven't seen him make any achievements when he was the secretary of the Chinese book, hasn't he done it for so many years, and I haven't seen this discipline because of his laxity.
"The minister is in his position to seek his own government, and it is the duty of the courtiers to speak out, if they just blindly cater to it, it is to lose the emperor's grace. ”
The emperor's face was gloomy, "I think I don't have the vision of the emperor to know people, and I can't distinguish the virtuous." ”
Feng Michu said slowly, "The minister just said the minister's opinion, and he was loyal to the ear. But at the same time, the minister also understands that the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, cannot be exceeded, the country is the emperor's country, and the minister is the emperor's courtier, how to appoint is the emperor's right, and the minister must not overstep his duties, otherwise he will be guilty. ”
The emperor was puzzled, "What does Lord Feng mean?"
Feng Michu said, "The minister said that if the emperor really thinks that Ganyu is a suitable candidate, he should be appointed as the Zhongshu Order, and the minister should obey it, and the emperor can directly issue an edict tomorrow." ”
The emperor observed the words, he couldn't understand Feng Michu, I don't know why he just quoted the scriptures and told him at length that a bunch of sweet jade was not suitable for this official position, but the next moment he nodded and agreed. He really couldn't understand Feng Michu, just as he couldn't understand why Feng Michu chose him to assist among many princes.
The emperor originally wanted Feng Michu to nod and agree to agree with Gan Yu to do this Chinese book order, but now that he agreed, he didn't know what to say, and the emperor was silent.
Feng Michu smiled, "Didn't the emperor say that we are monarchs and ministers, and we are also relatives." ”
The emperor's face softened slightly, thinking that his tone was a little heavy just now, and he still needed to rely on Feng Michu in the future in court politics, "Lord Feng tastes this white silver needle." ”
Feng Michu took a sip.
The Emperor asked, "How?"
Feng Michu smiled, "The emperor's reward is naturally the best. ”
That means that this tea is good because of his reward, not from the tea itself, "Lord Feng has good tea, everyone in the imperial capital knows it, but anyone who can get Lord Feng to praise a good word, the price of the tea will immediately rise tenfold, could it be that Lord Feng has drunk a better white silver needle than this?"
"It's just that a few days ago, I drank a cup of Baihao Silver Needle in a teahouse in the west of the city, which is more in line with the minister's taste. ”
Feng Michu put down the cup and didn't touch the second sip, and couldn't help but make the emperor wonder how good the tea that suited his taste was, and it was even better than the tribute?
"Yes, Wechen used to like to drink tea and listen to books there, although the restaurant is simple, but the boss is also a fellow Chinese who likes to drink tea, so he often buys good tea from other places. The teahouse is also often frequented by students to discuss the current situation and political opinions, and some of the views are also novel and unique. ”
When the emperor heard this, he wanted to go out of the palace to see, after he ascended the throne, he listened to the words of a hundred officials, as for what the people said, it could only be through the mouths of these officials, how true and how false, he didn't know.
"I want to go and see that teahouse, I wonder if Lord Feng is free today?"
"How can the emperor easily leave the palace if he is the Son of Heaven, so if he wants to leave the palace, he must be prepared, he must seal the road, and he will drive ......"
The emperor shook his head, why do you need such a big battle, didn't he secretly go out of the palace with Chen Musheng to Fengfu last time, and came back secretly, "Lord Feng's guards are first-class masters, and if I pick a few more guards to accompany me, it will be foolproof." ”
