Chapter 19: Alliances
In the spacious palace, the three princes were speechless but thunderous like beasts trapped in a cage. That group of damn imperial historians, picking who is not good to impeach, just found Tai Yu to be the target. It took a lot of hard work to bury a nail in the Xiao family's camp, but it was destroyed by them for no reason. However, what he was most worried about was whether Tai Yutong would take care of everything cleanly, if someone grabbed the handle, and then let Yu Guifei blow the wind in his father's ear, and a big hat that handed over to the foreign minister was buttoned down, he would say that he would not be able to hide from anything.
Speaking of the previous experience of Hefeng Wuhou is bizarre enough, but that is only a matter of the future, compared to the urgent matter at hand, no matter how good that person is, he is just a chaotic minister and thief. Even if you can really help yourself succeed, you can only be a shadow in the darkness forever. To control the government, it is still the officials who rely on it, and the means on the surface can never be abandoned.
"Sir, what should this king do now?" Feng Wuyan suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on Murong Tianfang, who was leaning on the desk and contemplating.
Murong Tianfang has never been keen on the way of deceit, so it has always been handled by other staff, but at this moment, he has to work hard for such a thing. "Your Highness, if Tai Yingtong's hands and feet are clean, it will not be a big deal, although one person has been lost, it can be made up for in the future. But if he leaves the handle behind, and the thing falls into the hands of someone else, then there is probably no room for undoage. However, the other party will not openly attack, after all, this matter is not visible, and the dark arrow behind it is the most important thing to beware of. ”
"Tai Yutong is now under house arrest, there is no news, if there is really no way, it can only make him unable to speak!" There was a hint of cruelty on Feng Wuyan's face, and for him, at this time, Tai Yitong had turned from the first arm to a scourge. If he says something that is not good for him in order to get rid of his sin, it is better to silence it.
Murong Tianfang couldn't help frowning, he was very disgusted with this kind of means of controlling life at every turn. However, Feng Wuyan is indeed at a disadvantage now, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame that Degui Concubine Niangniang is too uncompetitive, and such a thought flashed in his heart. "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Tai Yan has been an official for many years, and he will not leave a little back, if he is in a hurry, maybe even if he dies, he will drag a cushion back, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how are you called this king?" Feng Wuswen's cloak had all been withdrawn, and at this time he was as terrible as an enraged beast, "Now that the queen has not been established, I am the best choice whether it is Lixian or Lichang." But my father and the hundred officials focused all their eyes on those little ones, completely ignoring my reputation and ability, how do you let me deal with myself? Among the six departments, the Lan family only occupies a small Ministry of Works, compared to the monstrous power of others, if I don't get foreign aid, I'm afraid I don't even have the power to protect myself! ”
Murong Tianfang looked at this prince with pity, who had always only shown his excellent side, but there was a deep disappointment in his heart. As the pride of the sky, Feng Wuyan has received too many things since he was a child, and the rewards and praise have made him too arrogant. Although he had his own points of thumb, it was still not enough for him to realize this. The supreme throne was so attractive that it was even greater than the Confucian doctrine and knowledge that he had been instilling in Feng Wuyan, and he couldn't even figure out whether it was right or wrong to agree to this disciple to counsel the internal affairs.
"Your Highness, let's do what you thought before, as for Tai Yutong, let's take a look at the situation and prepare the manpower first." Despite his extreme reluctance, Murong Tianfang had no choice but to approve Feng Wuyan's suggestion, "In addition, since His Royal Highness has the heart to form an alliance with you, even if he seeks skin with the tiger, he can only accept his 'kindness' now." Although he has always had a reputation for immorality, he has the most calculations among the heavenly families, and maybe he has some hidden power that can help you. However, His Highness must be vigilant to avoid falling into his trap. The Lan family also has to make them more attentive, whether it is the Xiao family or the He family, many years ago they were just as famous as the Lan family, and now they can control the government in a leap, except for the support of the emperor, because they themselves are better managed. ”
Feng Wuyan nodded again and again, relieved in his heart, after the fire just now, he immediately regretted it. Knowing that Murong Tianfang was full of learning and Hongru still leaked his bottom in front of him, it was really too reckless to say. "Don't worry, sir, that I will not fall down easily because of such a trivial matter. The fifth child was too arrogant, so he got a lifelong imprisonment. If the situation is not right, I would rather protect his body first, as for the prince and other things outside the body, I can give up, and I will not take risks easily. ”
Murong Tianfang let out a long sigh, "Your Highness is serious, according to the old man, it shouldn't end like this." After tomorrow's court meeting, you might as well write to the emperor to assign errands, it has been a long time since you returned to Beijing, presumably the emperor will not care about idling you, and it is time to continue to serve as a director. ”
Compared to his own brother, Feng Wuhou was much more leisurely, and at this time he was lying leisurely on the chair in the hall admiring the dance of several beautiful kabuki, whose fluttering water sleeves and graceful figure were tempted at all times. Feng Wuhou's intoxicated eyes sometimes showed a fine light, however, under the cover of the wine glass, no one could see the true expression of this heavenly nobleman.
Zhou Yan stood next to his master, absentmindedly enjoying the song and dance, but thinking about what had happened in the past few days. He knew Feng Wuhou's temperament and situation, but he still couldn't understand why this highness was not as active as the third prince Feng Wuyan. He always keeps making all kinds of plans, but he always hides behind, and in the long run, no matter how powerful he is, the emperor will never make him the prince. It will not be possible to use his power to usurp the throne at that time, Zhou Yan shook his head helplessly, with a blank face.
"Jingzhi, you just don't know how to have fun in time, life is short, instead of keeping a straight face all day long, it's better to enjoy the fun of beauty and good wine like this king." Although Feng Wuhou didn't look back, he could also imagine the expressions of his subordinates, "There are so many brothers to help deal with political affairs, you don't need to keep an eye on this king all the time, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Zhou Yan was about to say another dissuasion, but suddenly saw a small guy outside the door gesticulating, hurriedly confessed, and hurriedly went out to ask what was the matter. But after a while, he turned back, his face was also a little abnormal, Feng Wuhou glanced at it, and then lazily ordered: "This king has something important now, you should disperse first, and then enjoy the superb skills of all the beauties when this king is free!" ”
The kataka couldn't help but let out a coquettish laugh, and they all bowed and retreated. After staying in the palace for a long time, they have already figured out the character of this highness, although they are like ordinary gentlemen, but once they encounter serious things, they will never delay, so no one dares to be coquettish and foolish to be bored.
Only Feng Wuhou and Zhou Yan were left in the hall that was still a fairyland on earth just now, and it suddenly seemed empty. "What, did the third brother send someone?" Feng Wuhou asked casually.
"Your Highness is really a clever plan!" Zhou Yan praised, "The Third Highness sent a small servant to deliver a letter, saying that he would personally hand it over to His Highness, so his subordinates did not dare to be proficient. ”
"Just a little guy?" Feng Wuhou was a little confused, but he remembered the scene a few days ago in his mind. The inexplicable assassination that night made him and Feng Wuyan wake up to another hidden force in the capital, and that powerful force deeply shocked the two Tianhuang nobles. Compared with Feng Wuyan, who is obsessed with the right path, Feng Wuhou is extremely concerned about these secret deeds. Those who achieve great things are not informal, and if he can really have the day when he can become a great treasure, he will not pay attention to the evaluation of outsiders, so he never cares about ruining his reputation. The third brother has been learning the Tao for so many years, but in the end, he still hasn't won the old man's appreciation?
"Forget it, this king will go and see him in person." Feng Wuhou didn't think that the status of the little guy was low, but he was puzzled that Feng Wuyan would entrust such an important matter to his subordinates, so it stands to reason that he should send a trustworthy staff member, does he really care so much about the wind in Beijing?
Feng Wuhou left Zhou Yan outside the door and entered the small study alone, only to see a young man in a green coat and a beautiful face waiting a little crampedly. However, Feng Wuhou could still vaguely see a little difference between his eyebrows, and that kind of timelessness and bookish aura could not be concealed.
"The minion knocks on the Fourth Highness!" When the little man saw the master come in, he hurriedly knelt down and asked for peace, and presented a letter with both hands.
Feng Wuhou took the letter and opened it slowly, but he didn't tell the little guy below to get up. After reading it all, he looked at him a few more meaningfully, and asked condescendingly, "What's your name?" What errands do you serve by your master's side? ”
"The slave is Feng'an, serving the pen and ink in the study." The little guy replied with a low head in his eyes, but he returned to normal in a moment. He is just a lowly slave, how can he expect others to look at him with good eyes.
"It seems that the third brother has sent a wonderful person to this king!" Feng Wuhou suddenly laughed, and the sudden laughter suddenly made Feng An, who was already worried, even more frightened, and his already lowered head almost touched the ground. This errand was recommended by Mr. Murong, and he didn't know any details at all, so he was worried all the way to the palace.
"From now on, you will be the king's minion!" Feng Wuhou announced domineeringly, "Your master has not chosen the wrong person, and the letter greatly praises your loyalty, and it seems that he is sure of you. In this way, it is reassuring for you to contact the king in the center. Feng'an, honestly obey every command of this king, this king will be able to promise you a future in the future, you will not be willing to live under others for the rest of your life, right? ”
When Feng An heard that he was being transferred to someone else, his face darkened at first, but then he was stunned by Feng Wuhou's words, and his head was raised, and he even forgot about thanks, and just looked at this highness who spoke wildly. He bowed his head deeply for a long time, "Thank you Your Highness for your cultivation, the slave will definitely be loyal." ”
