It is now the end of the fourteenth year of Yufeng, so the capital is a lively scene. In the past few years, although the imperial court has used troops in the northwest, there have been no less than dozens of big and small battles, and for the people living in the prosperous places of the capital, these are extremely distant things. Different from previous wars, in recent years, the imperial court not only did not increase taxes, but exempted several provinces from taxes in the year of the catastrophe, so the people of Li are praised by everyone as our emperor and Shengming. However, although the people at this end are happy, the household is still more and more dizzy. Now that he has no backer in the palace, he is much more cautious in dealing with people, but fortunately, the emperor seems to still have a relationship with the late Concubine Xunyi, and treats him as before.

On this day, Yue Qianfan and He Mobin were ordered to go to the Qinzheng Hall again, and the discussion was also about the military salaries and rations in the northwest. Yue Qianfan had received a report from the south of the Yangtze River earlier, so the gloomy clouds shrouded in his eyebrows disappeared, but he was extremely happy. Even He Mobin was smiling, which was very different from the nervousness when he faced the saint alone in the past.

Feng Wuxian saw that the two officials of the household department had a relaxed look, and couldn't help but joke with a smile:

"It seems that my Lord Si Nong is in a very good mood today, but is there anything to be happy about? In the past, as soon as I was summoned, you all had a bitter face, as if you were afraid that I would ask for more money and food in the household treasury, and today is unusual, there should be good news to report to me? ”

Hearing this, Yue Qianfan immediately stood up, took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve, and respectfully presented it with both hands. "Wechen didn't dare to hide it, this matter has nothing to do with Wechen and the others, but it is the credit of Lord Qin, the governor of Liangjiang." He saw that Xiao Fangzi had taken the piece. Fang Cai continued, "Your Majesty, the Minnan Yue family has united the major wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. He wants to offer 1 million stone of military rations to the Northwest Army. Now, Lord Qin has sent one of his staff members to accompany these people to Sichuan to buy grain. In the near future, it may be able to reach the front of the Northwest Army. These wealthy businessmen used to be unruly people, and this time they were suddenly able to give so generously, which was naturally the grace of the will of our emperor's forerunners. The emperor has educated the Quartet, and the world is served, which is really a blessing for the people! ”

The wind is without a trace, and he listens attentively. Later, I heard that Yue Qianfan was actually changing the way to praise the saints, and I couldn't help but laugh. However, he naturally knew Yue Qianfan's intention to play like this. Since Yue Qiyan's "death", this household is still worried about his status all the time, and now that the Yue family has taken the lead in doing such a good thing, how can Yue Qianfan not vigorously publicize it? Thinking of this, Feng Wuxian couldn't help but think of the person behind this matter, and his expression became a little trance. After a long time, he nodded and said, "My will is just in accordance with the will of the people, and besides, I will say it." Among the children of these wealthy businessmen, if they can really take the imperial examination, it is a pity to waste it. Moreover, they have a lot of money. It is not uncommon to spend a few dollars to donate official land, and the court should not be too stubborn. ”

He saw that He Mobin also stood up with Yue Qianfan just now, so he bowed his head and said, "This is not a serious performance, you all sit down." It doesn't have to be so restrictive. In the past few years, I have implemented the new policy step by step, and although there are many people who praise it, there are also many scolding voices. A 'raid order' not only benefited many outstanding sons and daughters of the nobles, but also made those gentlemen lose their ranks. And the same is true of the will to 'promote the virtuous'. Although the children of the poor family can get ahead more easily, it has also set off a trend of clinging to the powerful, which can be said to have advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages slightly outweigh the disadvantages. ”

Seeing the emperor's emotion, He Mobin hurriedly bowed and replied: "The emperor's words are a bit arrogant, since ancient times, there are few young and intelligent scholars, but they are only lazy in the environment, and they have wasted great talent. Now that the emperor has made a decree, all the dignitaries have to search for talents to report, which is a great blessing for these people. Although I am rigorous in the imperial examination, it is indeed a great way out for reading people, but after all, I am too rigid about the form and discipline, and some of the practices are very good and the articles are a little worse, so I will inevitably waste a good time, and after I go out, I may have gray hair. The emperor's ability to use talents without sticking to one pattern is a fortunate thing for the world's scholars and talents. (Wen 'Xin' Hand ' Hit 'Group' Hand 'Hit 'Whole' Li)

"Your words are exactly the same as your father's." Feng Wuxian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and he really remembered He Furong's twists and turns a few days ago. "Although your father has been on leave for many years, he has a set of rules in court politics, and if you are free, you might as well go into the palace for a walk, so that he can talk to the imperial concubine. There are some things I want to hear from him. Seeing He Mobin hurriedly getting up to thank him, he couldn't help but shake his head again, "He Aiqing, you have been in charge of the household department for many years, and you have made great progress in practice, but you also have to study hard in other things, and sometimes it is much more difficult to control the overall situation than to be limited to a corner of the place." In the past few days, I am going to increase the bachelor's title for Yue Aiqing, and he has to enter the cabinet to praise Xiang, so you have to take care of a little more household practice. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Yue Qianfan couldn't believe his ears, counting that he had been in office for nearly 20 years, and he had hardly made any mistakes, and his credit was not small. Although the emperor has been rewarded many times and has also rewarded knighthoods, he has never mentioned the matter of increasing the title. Now that he is a scholar as soon as he opens his mouth, this reward is great.

I saw him fall to the ground with a thud, and his voice became a little trembling: "Weichen is just a little end, Emperor Meng Jian pulled, the emperor values it, and he has been in office in the household department for many years, and it is only a small achievement." Now that the emperor has suddenly been promoted to a university scholar, Weichen is afraid that the government and the opposition will not be convinced, and Weichen's talent is limited, so I am afraid that he will not be able to take on the important position of Zanxiang. "No matter what the emperor's true intentions are, Yue Qianfan's heart is worried, so he still makes up his mind and takes resignation first.

Feng Wuxian just waved his hand, obviously not agreeing with this statement. "Now that the DPRK and China have added the rank of university scholar, there are only three people: Prime Minister Bao Huasheng, Shang He Weitao of the Criminal Department, and Shang Weijiang Company of the Military Department. They are all veterans for many years, and their government affairs are also very proper, but they also have such and such problems at the beginning of their tenure. Yue Aiqing, you have been in the center of the imperial court for many years, and you have been on a lot of articles, I believe that you will be competent. ”

Since the emperor said these words, Yue Qianfan was a little more sure in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him.

Here, He Mobin also left his seat and kowtowed: "The emperor can rest assured, although the micro-ministers are dull, the household envoy has also served for many years, and he will definitely share the worries of the Yue people." ”

Both of them looked like they were swearing, and Feng Wuxian gave them a few more words of encouragement, which made them retreat. Now that the matter of military rations has been resolved, presumably Prince An should be satisfied.

He remembered the first letter and couldn't help but feel funny. In other words, he is an ordinary prince guarding the northwest, and he wishes there was no war trouble, but the wind is different, and among the children of the royal family, he is the only one who inherits that kind of brave nature. In recent years, Dzungaria's behavior has become more and more rampant, and even Prince Khurich of Sak has repeatedly made unstable moves. Feng Wuxian remembered that after the skirmish between the Kurten Ministry and the Sark Department the year before last, Concubine Rong Yana and Concubine Zhen Mingxiu ignored their appearances, and their faces suddenly became gloomy again.

The emperor's eldest son, Feng Haoyang, is now over twenty years old, and he is handsome and upright, and he is more generous than his father. Because he has been a counselor since he was 12 years old, he was ordered to go to the former labor army of the Northwest Army at the age of 16, and at the age of 18, when he inspected Henan, he asked the Son of Heaven to behead three corrupt officials, and won the trust and love of Feng Wuxi, and he was promoted to Prince De early. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very afraid of this unsmiling prince, and they were always cautious and cautious when they met, lest they be grabbed by the other party. It is precisely because of Feng Haoyang's temperament that although he is the hottest prince in the court, the number of officials who come and go to Prince De's palace is extremely limited, which also fulfills his iron-faced reputation.

In contrast, Feng Haorong, the king of Gongjun, is much more easy-going, he is one year older than Feng Haoyang, although he is only the king of the county in the title, but he participates in government affairs a lot, he is gentle and has smooth wrists, so the courtiers would rather deal with him. Xu is the experience of ups and downs when he was young, this prince often favors such poor and talented officials on weekdays, and he also performs his duties during the New Year's holidays, but once these people make up for the real shortage and fat shortage, he no longer interacts with them, and avoids suspicion almost harshly.

On this day, Feng Haoyang and Feng Haorong had nothing to do, and they didn't bring many entourage guards, so they let two personal servants follow behind them, and they swaggered around the market. Now it is the end of the year, and the people who buy New Year's goods in the streets and alleys are crowded, and everyone is smiling with joy and satisfaction. Even Feng Haoyang, who has always been unsmiling, saw this situation, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Father's years of hard work have indeed not been in vain, if you are rich today, the people's lives will be better." ”

Feng Haorong also nodded, and was about to answer, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd, and couldn't help but reach out and pull Feng Haoyang's shirt and said, "Look over there, is it the king of Qijun?" Feng Haoyang was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked intently, only to see Feng Wuhao, the king of Qijun, with two guards, also looking at calligraphy and paintings on a stall over there. Feng Wuhao was twenty-eight years old this year, although he had already become an adult, but due to the early death of his mother, he did not have much power to support him, and the princess he married was Tang Zengyuan's niece.

When the brothers saw this twelfth uncle here, they originally wanted to pretend that they didn't see it, and they just forgot about it, but who expected Feng Wuhao to turn around, and coincidentally glanced at the two of them, and their expressions were also stunned. At this time, Feng Haoyang and Feng Haorong couldn't hide, so they had to walk forward, bow down, and call Uncle Twelve at the same time.

Feng Wuhao was identifying a picture scroll, and when he saw the two nephews saluting, he said disapprerovingly: "There's no need to be polite outside, you two are well-informed, come and help me see, is this thing real or fake?" The boss offered five hundred taels. "Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 23 Title
