Chapter 13: Profound Meaning
"As a royal child, in order to consolidate the society of the country, I should not be left behind." Feng Wuyan was the first to speak, he had to do this, otherwise the reputation of the virtuous king he had always placed there would be in vain, "I don't know what the emperor uncle is referring to?" β
"Now that Fujian is suffering from disasters and starvation, you are in the heavenly family, naturally you can't understand the suffering of the people, I don't know which of you is willing to share the emperor's worries and go to Fujian for a while?" Feng Minzhi's face instantly became extremely solemn.
Everyone's eyes are focused on Feng Zhi, everyone knows that Fujian is his territory, then, Feng Minzhi raised such a question here, the deep meaning is self-evident, this hard-working messenger seems to belong to him.
It was only at this time that Feng Zhi felt a deep despair, this old man had been tricking himself from the beginning, and even letting himself sit at the head of the princes was just using the obstacle method. In front of so many brothers, he couldn't even retreat if he wanted to. Every word Feng Minzhi said was adhering to the will of his father, and he still thought that he could hide from the world, which was really naΓ―ve. Hmph, what is to comfort the victims, if those untouchables knew that they had swallowed up their life-saving money, would they still make themselves better, maybe they would be plotted on the road!
"Uncle Huang, it seems that you are coming at me." Feng Zhi said with a gloomy face, "Everyone knows that Nie Siyuan, the governor of Fujian, has the highest official position among the people who go out of my disciples, and he has always had a good official reputation. Who told him to be unlucky, and to be a natural disaster? I know that my father and the ministers of the court have always looked at me as a prince from a humble background, so it seems that now my father is going to take the opportunity to deal with my thorn in the head? β
Feng Minzhi and the other princes couldn't imagine that this second prince, who had always been cautious, would dare to accuse the emperor of not, and their shock couldn't help but overflow. Feng Wuzhao couldn't help but sarcastically say: "If the second brother doesn't have a ghost in his heart, why should he be afraid of his father's thorough investigation." Besides, since the emperor's uncle said that his father intended to appoint a prince to Fujian for disaster relief, the second brother might as well pick this messenger, so who would dare to gossip? β
The other princes also began to help, and they were finally able to crack down on their competitors, how could they let go of such an opportunity? Even the twelve princes watched it funny and wanted to coax along, but they were held down by the nurse standing behind him, so he had to play with a Buddha's hand unhappily. Feng Wuxian didn't interject without a trace, he had already seen Feng Minzhi's face was not good, how could he be interested in wading into this troubled water like other brothers, besides, falling into the well in front of him could only make trouble for himself.
"Shut up, all of you!" Feng Minzhi couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily, "Look at what you all look like, how can there be half a rule." All sit down for this king! β
As soon as the princes were in the mood for a while, they all remembered that they were in Prince Min's mansion, and they were all a little embarrassed. Feng Zhi's face was so red that it could almost drip blood, but he barely restrained himself.
"This king knows what you are all thinking, isn't it just coveting the position of the crown prince? Hmph, the emperor is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, if none of you are angry, it may not be known that the emperor will set up a grandson. Don't think you're going to have one less opponent if you squeeze one person out! β
The princes present had never seen this imperial uncle make such a big fire, and the room was filled with his roar. "One by one, they only think about stuffing their own people into the place, and they are eye-to-eyeing with those court officials every day, do you think the emperor doesn't know? Hmph, Emperor Shengming, I just don't want to pursue it, but you still look self-righteous. This king tells you that the emperor has not established a prince for a long time, because you are all making false names, but you have not even made any real achievements, so how can the emperor make up his mind to establish a prince! β
Hearing the crown prince, everyone's ears were pricked up, at this time, how could anyone care about the old man's words were unpleasant, as long as he could recognize the emperor's heart, then today's scolding would not be in vain.
"You have hardly been out of the capital, how do you know the suffering of the people, how do you know the military situation on the frontier, how do you know the conduct of the officials? One by one, they only know hearsay, and the son of a daughter can't sit down, but like you, what's the difference between the son-in-law and the son of an ordinary family? State affairs, state affairs, is state affairs only used to talk? When my Emperor Taizu conquered the world, did he rely on his mouth? β
After saying so much in one breath, Feng Minzhi was also a little overwhelmed, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, ignoring the group of thoughtful princes below.
"Uncle Huang, listening to your words is better than that group of pedantic masters for a month." Feng Wuyan pondered his words, and cautiously tentatively said, "You mean that my father means to send us out to various places for training?" β
Everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink, if this is the case, as long as you look at the distance of the release location, it is not difficult to see the father's intentions. Moreover, let them give up the comfortable capital and the solid forces, who has no apprehension in their hearts, even in the eyes of Feng Wuxi.
"Outside? With your status as a golden and noble person, how dare those magistrates let you do anything practical? I think that in order to appease you, they can't wait to add their own achievements to you! This kind of experience has a fart! Feng Minzhi said on a whim, and even spit out the dirty words.
"That ......" Everyone was confused, and they couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts what kind of medicine was being sold in this old fox's gourd, which made them startled.
"This king has several major difficulties in the court now, and many officials have tried it in the past, but no one has ever succeeded. If you have faith, you may try. If you are doing well, maybe the emperor will look at you differently. β
A few princes who were still thinking about it just now suddenly woke up like ice water pouring on their heads, what are you kidding, what those selected officials over the years can't do, how can they boast that they will definitely be able to do it, isn't this a clear toss of people? However, looking at this posture, it seems that the father has already made up his mind, and now it is better to think about what may be wrong to make it easier.
"No matter what! What you said just now, the king will act as if he had not heard anything. These younger brothers of yours won't say it either. Feng Minzhi turned to Feng Who, who was in a daze, "Monarchs and ministers, fathers, fathers and sons, have you often forgotten these ethical guidelines?" Don't say that the emperor is not wrong to blame you, even if the emperor really wronged you, the monarch has a life, do you dare not obey? β
This sentence is said seriously, whether the wind is thinking that the future is hopeless, so he made a lot of nonsense, and now he heard that his father did not deal with his own meaning strictly, and he has long regretted what he said just now. Helplessly, the other princes have heard these words, even if they don't say it tomorrow, it will be a big trouble in the future. Giving someone such a big handle for no reason is only afraid that my life will be even more sad. He stood up stubbornly, and made a gesture, but said nothing.
"Okay, this king invites you to come today, just to say hello, the Zongren Mansion has not been touched for a long time, this time this king has been ordered by the emperor, and even those idle clans have to be managed together. Those fox friends of yours also warned them not to come nonsense, you know? β
Everyone was speechless, and each of the successive events today was unexpected by them. However, the next feast still had to continue, and the table was full of delicacies, except for Feng Minzhi, who had a good appetite, everyone else was forced to deal with it with a smile. It was easy to hold out until the banquet was over, and the princes hurriedly resigned, but it was Feng Wuxian who received a look from Feng Minzhi, and after everyone left, he instructed Xiao Fangzi to send away a group of servants and stay alone.
