The overall operation of the Overseer's Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the grain and grass salaries are controlled by the political envoys of the Domain Division, but the four commanders of the Overseer's Mansion are elected by the Tengjiao Palace, and are directly responsible to the Tengjiao Palace.

During the course of the year, each Overseer had to go to Youjing once to meet with Chen Junji and deal with some accusations from the local feudal lords and officials. And the three adjutants, that is, the commanders, have to go to Tengjiao Hall every six months to deal with it.

Under such a system, neither the military department nor the local feudal department dared to excessively oppress the Overseer's Office, lest they be countersued and annoyed by the highnesses of the Tengjiao Palace.

But at the same time, since the wealth of the four governors of the Overseer's Palace, the Overseer's Envoy and the Commander's Envoy, all came from the royal family, it was naturally the purest imperial party. This kind of imperial party status made it difficult for them to make peace with the six major factions, and it was the greatest magic weapon for the royal government to counter the civil official system headed by the Confucian and French families, and the military attache system with the military family as the main body.

This system, full of confrontations and checks and balances, is inherently the cradle of "wonderful legends". One of them, as long as he feels that a certain factor is conducive to his own blow to the other party, will use this factor with 100,000 efforts.

And at this moment, Commander Ma seems to have become such a factor - in the recital handed over by Pingjiang Mansion, Commander Ma is a person with keen senses, jealousy and hatred, and a bold character. Under the threat of the tide of death, he killed seven in and seven out of Jinshui Town, and successfully saved half of the people in Jinshui Town.

After this kind of story was heard by the heavens, the imperial party naturally regarded it as a positive example - look, without a military background, you can still command the army and be a hero! So it was logical that the Imperial Party was ready to promote, no, it was to overtake the commander of the horse, and by the way, squeeze out the position of a soldier in the Overseer's Palace.

You must know that with the stability of the world, there are fewer and fewer reckless heroes and sages in the mountains. Just as Confucianism and Legalism opened book societies and societies everywhere to recruit young talents, the martial arts halls of the military family also blossomed everywhere. In the last decade or two, a situation has almost taken place in which there are no generals outside the soldiers.

In this regard, the royal family also felt very difficult, and they desperately needed a representative of a typical person who was different.

Some people may say that whoever the emperor wants to be an official, can't he let whoever he wants to be an official? Why do you have to go out of your way to find opportunities, and do this and that...... This kind of arbitrary power was only possessed by the founding emperors.

The world is royal, but the hearts of the people in the world are almost all on the opposite side of the royal family. Don't look at something, as soon as you open your mouth, it's "Long live my emperor". But if you really want to take the school exam, is it closer to the people by the royal family inherited by blood, or is it closer to the people by the six major factions that rely on cultural inheritance?

As long as a person has ambition and talent, he can become a disciple of the six major sects and glorify the lintel from now on. But what does it take for one to become a royalty? So, no kidding. The weapon of public opinion is on the side of the six major factions.

In particular, when it comes to the promotion, appointment, and dismissal of bureaucrats, it is even more touching to the hearts of the people. Just like in the later life, even if it has nothing to do with yourself, as long as you hear about the shady recruitment of such and such an agency, everyone will inevitably feel nervous. Because people are empathetic, they will faintly compare themselves - if I go to the unit I apply for, I will also engage in black-box operations......

The final result is that in the 21st century, when recruitment is mentioned on the Internet, there is a lot of scolding, and you can casually mix up 1,800 floors. But the people who scolded in the building have not necessarily been hacked, and it can even be said that most of them have not been hacked. They posted scolding, hoping that even if there was a little possibility, they would scold the authorities and units so that they would not dare to black-box, so that they would not be hacked.

The same reason is put here, that is-ah, the emperor can promote one person indiscriminately, then he can promote the second one tomorrow, I am waiting for the children of the poor family, and I don't have the opportunity to hug the emperor's thigh and get in, won't I go to a dead end? This kind of thing, as long as the opponent of the imperial power is strong enough, it is completely possible to make a big fuss. And the six major factions are the opponents of the imperial power that are strong enough!

In such a situation, in addition to the founding emperor who could mess around with his personal prestige, the subsequent emperors must also respect the play of this system in a relatively mature political system. Otherwise, because the emperor was "close to traitors" and "promoted villains", there was a popular mutiny, and it was not a joke. Nine times out of ten, the emperor will not only not be able to severely punish the troublemakers, but may also have to issue an edict against himself, otherwise there is a risk that the society will not be protected.

What's more, sometimes a "mutiny" is not necessarily a "mutiny", and a "popular mutiny" is not necessarily a "popular mutiny." Just like Wen Siqi once said, during the Great Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu bypassed the Taihang Mountains and besieged Xianyang for 36 days, so Guanzhong became a white land. Wen Siqi is not the only one who has seen and studied this history.

Therefore, then again, judging from the current situation, Commander Ma is like picking up a huge lottery ticket, and the future is simply limitless.

Zhou Zheng's knowledge about officials and the like naturally comes from empty seals. And it is understandable that an outsider knows very little about topics such as the promotion of officials. When he heard Li Fenghuang analyze it carefully this time, he really sensed something wrong: "According to what you say, he will still stay in Pingjiang Mansion for more than half a year?" ”

To be exact, he will stay in Pingjiang Mansion for more than half a year as a popular fried chicken. In the past six months, everyone knows that his promotion is imminent, and he has been reduced to the emperor's heart, which can be described as a promising future. No one would choose to offend him. On the contrary, no matter what he does, as long as it is not too excessive, everyone will follow him, hoping that he will have more Austrian aid in the future. ”

"You mean he's going to target me?"

"What do you think? The biggest contributor to the Jinshui tragedy is actually the biggest contributor, do you think he will target you? I've heard that he came to you with a gift to cooperate, and you ended up being disgraced. ”

"Seriously, I didn't move my hands at all, I moved my mouth."

When Li Fenghuang heard this, he glanced at Zhou Zheng and said angrily: "You are still in the mood to laugh." ”

Zhou Zheng ate two mouthfuls of food, and said without being salty or light: "I am a loose person in Pingjiang Mansion, one is not an official, and the other is not in business, I want to think about it, and he doesn't seem to be able to fix me." Besides, I'll leave if it's a big deal, and it's not only the water and rice in Pingjiang Mansion that can support people in the world. ”

"That's the reason, but the so-called precautions, you'd better plan for a rainy day, so as not to suffer a loss in the end."

"Yes, I will, thank you girl for your concern."

After talking about this more tangled question, Li Fenghuang suddenly took a sip of flower dew, and a pair of bright eyes were shining, and Zhou Zheng felt weak in his heart: "Do you really like Shaoqing girls?" ”

Listening to Li Fenghuang's question, Zhou Zheng's heart jumped violently: "What are you talking about this?" ”

Li Fenghuang glanced at Zhou Zheng: "What kind of attitude do you have?" ”

"What's wrong with my attitude?"

"I mentioned your sweetheart, shouldn't you be more flustered and shy, how did you get so surprised?"

"This has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"It doesn't have anything to do with the relationship, but I know her temperament best with her sisters. So if you need it, I can give you some small advice. ”

"I'll think about it......" This is undoubtedly a polite word, and it's strange that Zhou Zheng will think about it!

Li Fenghuang obviously realized this, and her expression suddenly became serious: "Seriously, Sister Shaoqing has been hard enough over the years. If you can, you must be nice to her, a good girl, you should have a good life. Otherwise, what is the point of the existence of this world? ”

Zhou Zheng felt a little inexplicable, and he didn't know why Li Fenghuang paid attention to this problem. At the same time, as a former victim...... When he heard the words "Shaoqing girl" from Li Fenghuang's mouth, he always felt a little awkward, as if there was a caterpillar crawling on his back.

Since the crossing, Zhou Zheng's memory has also improved for no reason. He still remembers, the first time he went back to the Li Mansion, Li Fenghuang called Han Shaoqing "Han Niangzi" in order to deceive him; And he went to the Han Mansion, when Han Shaoqing called Li Fenghuang, he was a "sister of the Li family"; In the end, when Zhou Zheng came out of the Han Mansion and returned to the Li Mansion, Li Fenghuang exposed his true face, facing Han Shaoqing, and he called him "Han Shaoqing".

Now Li Fenghuang is shouting "Shaoqing Girl" and "Shaoqing Girl", which is sweeter than the name when he tricked Zhou Zheng into the urn before. Zhou Zheng was bitten by a snake for a while, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he was naturally worried about whether Li Fenghuang had another trick.

Li Fenghuang is very smart, looking at Zhou Zheng's expression, she guessed a rough idea, she smiled and said: "Don't worry, I sincerely hope for your good this time." After she spoke, seeing that Zhou Zheng still had an unbelievable expression, she said helplessly: "It seems that I hurt you, and the injury is really deep." But seriously, you saved my whole family, and that's my benefactor. And since my great benefactor has fallen in love with Shaoqing's sister, then I have no position to hate her. ”

"I'm glad you think so."

"Heh, I've already taken revenge anyway, so it should end here...... Besides, since you have fallen for me and can forgive me, then why can't I forgive the Han family? Even on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, it was Han Er and Commander Ma who hooked up and deliberately did not notify my family to flee...... But as long as they don't mess with me anymore, I want to let it all go. Li Fenghuang shrank his shoulders, lowered his head, exhaled deeply, and then raised his head and smiled easily: "I think I shouldn't live for the hatred of the past anymore, I should live for the love of the future." ”

Zhou Zheng likes to listen to such words the most, he carefully observed Li Fenghuang's expression, and saw the slightest bit of emotional changes and eyes clearly. From every trace of subtlety, he could feel Li Fenghuang's sincerity, he believed that what she said was true, and she had let go of this matter from her heart.

"I don't even know how to congratulate you, if everyone is like you, can untie the shackles that wrap around them, then I don't know how beautiful the world would be." I don't know if it's Zhou Zheng's nature like this, or if it's the memory of the empty seal master, in short, Zhou Zheng is happy for Li Fenghuang's comprehension, and he laughs happily.

And Li Fenghuang's response was not so enthusiastic, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she wanted to laugh, but that's all: "If I can, I hope everyone will not make mistakes." ”

"How is that possible? If you are human, you will make mistakes. ”

"yes, you have a point. I thought, I may have made another mistake. ”

"What?"

Li Fenghuang didn't answer directly, but just narrowed a pair of phoenix eyes, revealing a thin slit, like a curious fox, staring at Zhou Zhengsheng for a while.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Zheng was a little hairy by Li Fenghuang, and he had a premonition that something was about to happen that the wisdom of the Empty Seal Master could not solve. But fortunately, this premonition did not come true, because Li Fenghuang quickly returned to normal.

"Not much, it's just that I haven't loved someone for too long, and some don't remember what to do." She poured herself a cup of flower dew, drank it all in an instant, and then turned the glass slightly. Facing Zhou Zheng with the side she had just drunk, there was a seductive lip print on it, no doubt from the beauty in front of Zhou Zheng.

"Is it red? Newly bought. ”

"Red!"

"Which is your blood?"

“……”

"Look, I said I made a mistake."

“……”

The hunches of the two people finally came true.
