Chapter 32: Thorns
On the third day of February in the twenty-second year of Wanlie, Feng Wuxian officially informed the Yue family about welcoming relatives, which made this Fujian wealthy family jubilant. After all kinds of disasters, the Yue family is no longer in the heyday of the year, coupled with the fact that Fujian officials are not as easy to buy as before, and the three giants have put on a monolithic appearance, so this marriage with the royal family has undoubtedly become significant. Although she was not married to a concubine, after all, the royal family still gave her the title of a side concubine, and even the person concerned did not say a word, so the whole family was completely prepared.
Although it was a feud in the past, Luo Yunqian still sent someone to give a heavy gift, not gold and jade or jewelry, but three manors and hundreds of slaves and long-term workers on the outskirts of Fuzhou. For a person like Feng Wuxian who has no deep roots, it is undoubtedly the best gift for a manor to have silver in the account every year. Even Yue Mingzhong couldn't show his hatred for the sworn enemy who was lying on the rattan chair and struggling to congratulate him, although he couldn't laugh at the grudge, but this was the first time that the two families had a grudge in the past, and outsiders were rumoring that the Yue family and the Luo family had a situation of repair.
Feng Wuxian was busy planning to return to Beijing, although the holy decree did not specify the return date, but Feng Wuxian knew that once the matter of the governor of Fujian could be determined, then he would definitely return to Beijing, but he didn't know if the emperor could really put Song Junxian in that high-ranking position. Although this person is a little pedantic, he acts on the right path, and the emperor should have a better impression of him than the treacherous and cunning Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang.
"Your Highness, Lord Song is here." Xiao Fangzi hurriedly came in and said, "Looking at his beaming appearance, it seems that there is something good." ”
"Oh?" Feng Wuxian eyes lit up, the appointment of the governor is this kind of thing, firstly, it is the appointment of the officials and the will of the emperor, and secondly, it is indispensable to report on the work in Beijing, it seems that this time Song Junxian is going to return to Beijing with him.
"Your Highness." As soon as Song Junxian entered the house, he leaned over and made a big salute, Feng Wuxian has always been informal, so this gift is a little unusual.
Feng Wuxian calmly accepted his salute, and then helped him up with both hands and said, "Zizhen, there must be good news in the capital?" ”
Song Junxian's face was full of excitement, "Your Highness, there has been an official document from the Ministry of Officials, and he has appointed the post of Governor of Fujian, and he will take office after entering Beijing to report on his work." ”
"Good!" Feng Wuxian stroked his palms and smiled, "I didn't expect those officials of the Ministry to give you a stumbling block, but it was beyond the expectations of this king." However, Zizhen, since you have become the governor, you have to change your temperament, it is good to love the people like a son, but if you have a share with the local wealthy family, no matter how big you are, it is not easy to be an official! ”
"After this change, the lower officials have understood." Song Junxian's face was a little unnatural, "Xia Guan's journey to the official is also quite smooth, I think it's all some luck, no wonder the usual colleagues have avoided Xia Guan when they see it." Only now did I understand that those people were afraid that the lower officials were too square and hindered their financial path. ”
"It's good that you know, this king won't mention it much." Feng Wuxian suddenly remembered something important, "Who will take over your governor's position?" ”
"I heard that it was Yao Mutong, the political envoy of Shanxi." Song Junxian was a little worried, "I heard that this person is extremely tyrannical, in the past, when he was appointed as the county commander, the people heard that he was transferred, and no one did not celebrate with their hands, but there were people in the court who supported him, so the official was promoted every year, and he was only in his thirties and had already sat on the political envoy, and now he was promoted to the governor, and it was impossible to do so without strong reinforcement behind him." ”
"It seems that things are not simple, there are still people who try to insert needles here in Fujian, but they are afraid that they will be disappointed." Feng Wuxian sneered, "Since this king has guaranteed you to his father, it is not good to recommend anyone to be the governor, after all, he also has to avoid some suspicions." Besides, the governor has always been controlled by the governor, and there are Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang staring at him below, and he can't turn the sky upside down. Those two guys are eyeing the governor's position, so they must be making some trouble for him. ”
"Your Highness is right." Song Junxian's face paleed slightly, "However, during the period when the lower officials went to Beijing to report on their work, if Yao Mutong came to take office, his official position here would be the highest, and I am afraid that Guo Lu and the two adults would not be able to help him." ”
"This matter is indeed worrying, after all, going to Beijing to report on work, I am afraid that it will take a long time to go back and forth, if Yao Mutong takes this opportunity to make trouble, he will be caught off guard." Feng Wuxian felt a little headache, and the hand of the officials didn't know if it was the big man's order, or maybe the emperor's intention. When I first decided that someone in Fujian wanted to intervene in it, I was really greedy.
"Zizhen, don't worry, this king won't let him mess up this rare good situation. Since he has a heart, he is ready to break his head and bleed. Feng Wuxian measured Yao Mutong's age, and suddenly had a plan in his heart. Hmph, if he dares to do anything wrong, then it may be more efficient for him to take his past "political achievements" in front of the emperor, right? Under the means of those two people in the capital, it is really too simple to collect the bad deeds of an official who has a bad reputation. If the matter is really big, then we can only think of digging out the people behind Yao Mutong and solving it, Fujian is the foundation that I have laid with great difficulty, and it must not be thrown out easily.
Hearing that Song Junxian was about to be promoted to the governor of Fujian, Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang felt a little sour in their hearts. The fourth level that was demoted has not come back, but Song Junxian, who has also been impeached, can rise to the top, and they have to accept the reality that their luck is too bad. However, when Feng Wuxian solemnly told the two about the new governor, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Unlike Song Junxian, Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang are both people who are good at drilling camps, and they have long heard of Yao Mutong, a leader in this area, and even envied his experience, but they didn't expect that this meeting was not only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also a future opponent.
"Your Highness, the person behind Yao Mutong is not trivial, if what the lower official heard that time is true, I am afraid that the matter involves the royal family." Guo Han thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "Yao Mutong's concubine Yuru and Humble Jing are fellow villagers, so they came to visit when they were in the capital, and they were still prefects at that time. The woman was not tight-lipped, and she intended to show off, so she said that her husband could make friends with the royal family, and he would definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future. Clumsy Jing didn't believe it, so the lower officials were able to understand the matter. Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the support of the prince behind him, how could he have been promoted so quickly? ”
Even Lu Simang heard of this for the first time, and Feng Wuxian felt that things were beyond imagination. Xiao Yunchao, the secretary of the ministry, is his maternal uncle, and he let such a tricky person come to Fujian for no reason, is there any dissatisfaction with her mother? He thinks about his recent performances, and he can't make sense of it anyway. When it comes to other princes, you have to be cautious.
Feng Wuxian was troubled here, and Concubine Yu was also angry in front of her brother. Since the emperor confided his heart that night, Feng Wuxi's status has inevitably become important in her heart, the other princes have either been seriously injured or have done nothing outside, but her own son can be in the limelight, how can she, a mother, have a light on her face? Unexpectedly, her brother actually sent a thorn to Fujian to serve as the governor, and when she learned the news, although she only had such an opportunity to see her brother once a month, she still lost her temper in a fit of anger.
Xiao Yunchao is also very aggrieved, although the official department is full of scenery, but there are also a lot of constraints. The favors of colleagues are not counted, and there are even more favors from princes and nobles, if he blindly refuses, he, the one at the helm, will not want to do it anymore. I thought that the emperor's cousin, Prince Li, sent 200,000 taels of silver tickets with two pieces of unparalleled jade, with the face and silver taels of the prince, the sister would not have any opinions, but I didn't expect such a play to be staged as soon as I came.
Having said that, how dare Xiao Yunchao get angry at her sister, not only because of her identity as a concubine, but also because her own Shangshu is also the result of her quiet operation, compared to herself, she is the real fox. "Niangniang, Weichen has been overlooked for a while, but everything has been received, not to mention that the officials have already issued documents, even if the documents have not been issued at this time, if they are returned, Prince Li's face must not look good, after all, he is a dignified prince, so he has to buy some face, right?" He pleaded in a low voice.
"Brother, how do you know silver and face!" Xiao Shi only felt angry, "Prince Li is just an idle prince, he can easily take out 200,000 taels of silver?" It's just that someone is using his name to play a trick, you don't even understand this, these decades of officials have been done in vain! ”
Xiao Yunchao was scolded so much that his face was red and white for a while, but he couldn't make a sound. Sister's reminder, he also felt that it was wrong for a while, Prince Li has always rarely been involved in political affairs, this time he actually asked for a political envoy, this matter is strange anyway, why was he confused for a while, and took this deal? He remembered the angry appearance of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department when he rejected He Weitao, and he was even more worried in his heart, it was not worth it, this time it was really a big loss!
"Mother, what should I do now?" Xiao Yunchao really lost his bearings, and when he thought of his Qinglou prostitution, He Weitao informed him, and he couldn't wait to immediately resend the official document of the ministry. Thinking of the expression of the supreme who seemed to be smiling when he presented it to the emperor before, he was completely chilled, but there was no regret medicine in the world, so he could only ask this resourceful girl for advice.
"What else can this palace do?" Xiao Shi sneered, "Now that Fujian has the idea, there is no trace, and he should have a way to deal with it." However, if there is such a mistake, what will he think of the mother of this palace at that time? Brother, now there is no trace, but it is different from the past, if you still think that he is that sick child, don't say that this palace is a sister who did not remind you! ”
Being beaten by Concubine Yu with a gun and a stick like this, Xiao Yunchao walked out of Lingbo Palace dejectedly. Alas, the years have changed, and he, the biggest of the Xiao family, can't compare to the two smaller ones. It's all because the minions on the door don't have long eyes, and when they see the name of Prince Li, they come in to report the news, otherwise how can there be such trouble! He made up his mind that when he went back, he would definitely take care of the housework and save the people from turning the world upside down.
