Chapter XVII
The so-called Qionglin Banquet, although these new scholars take it very seriously, in the eyes of the court bosses, it is nothing more than a formality. Their minds have already flown to the princes who are about to leave Beijing, as for those Jinshi, they really can't arouse any interest, even if they are champions, they are not now in the Hanlin Academy, and they don't know when they can come out, how can they compare to the speed of the promotion of the children of the official eunuchs in Beijing?
However, official articles are still indispensable, otherwise, wouldn't it chill the hearts of readers all over the world? Although the emperor withdrew early on the grounds of physical discomfort, and the officials also had a few excuses or illnesses in the future, as the eldest prince who would stay in the capital, Feng Wuxian inevitably attended this grand gathering of scholars. The emperor gave him a very incredible lesson, observing the character of these new jinshi, which made him muttered in his heart, he is not a real person in the Ming Fang, how can he have such ability. However, when it comes to immortals, they seem to have been avoiding themselves a lot recently, and the follow-up mantra of the Nine Refining Yin and Yang Gang is even more avoided, which makes Feng Wuxian depressed for a while.
However, when the emperor was leaving, he instructed him to hold a pot to persuade him to drink, and Feng Wuxian did not dare to slack off. One by one, they saluted. Most of those scholars are from the Han family, how have they ever seen such a scene, a cup of belly, their faces are already red, and even more, they think of the cold window in the past, and now the prince himself toasts, and there are not a few people who are in tears.
Although the Ministry of Rites had already scheduled to sit down, but after three rounds of drinking, and the adults had already left, the Jinshi were a little presumptuous, and they all climbed up their friendships, and He Shuming and others naturally got together. Seeing that Feng Wuxian finally arrived at their seat, the three of them were all happy, the difference was that Fan Hengwen was a little in a hurry, Li Junda was respectful, and He Shuming was happy with a hint of flattery. Feng Wuxian collected them one by one in his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the encounter in Yiyun Pavilion at the beginning, and he had a new insight into the three of them.
"The three of them are friends, and now they are named on the gold list, which can be regarded as a beautiful conversation!" Feng Wuxian personally poured a glass of wine for the three of them, but he opened with an unusual cliché, "I heard from a few adults who read the papers, your articles are quite good, especially He Gongzi's masterpiece, even his father praised it and cited it as a masterpiece." If it weren't for the extraordinary background of the champion of the current department, I'm afraid He Gongzi would not just be a flower explorer. His eyes rolled, and he vaguely pointed out the fact that he knew the three of them.
The three of them were all shocked, in the words of the Seven Highnesses, they seemed to know themselves, this is strange, where did such a coincidental chance come from? It was He Shuming who was the first to wake up and bowed: "It turns out that it was the Seventh Highness that I saw in Yiyun Pavilion at the beginning, which is really rude." Students are only shallow, and it is an unexpected joy to be able to explore flowers, how dare you ask for it? Having said that, his eyes cast a disdainful glance at Kim Tae-seung, who was sitting on the other side, drunk.
The other two came to their senses, they were in Yiyun Pavilion that day, because their minds were on He Shuming's matter, they didn't leave too many surprises, although they saw a young man with an extraordinary identity, but they didn't take it to heart, how could they think that this person's identity was so noble. However, Fan Hengwen and Li Junda are both upright people, and it is impossible to say sycophants, but they just humble themselves a few words, and then drank the glass of wine, only He Shuming used the pretext of drunkenness to intentionally or unintentionally show his intention to visit Feng Wuji, Feng Wuxian knew that this person was keen on his career, but it was inappropriate for him to agree at this time, so he had to politely excuse himself, which made He Shuming disappointed for a while.
The Qionglin banquet ended hastily, except for a group of quite satisfied jinshi, the rest of the officials just watched the flowers and made a cameo appearance. Of the official positions granted by these jinshi, only the champion Kim Tae-sung was actually awarded the rite department Langzhong because he was born in a family, and most of the rest were assigned to the idle positions of the Hanlin Academy for revision and editing. Of course, there are also some people with a wide range of channels who have made up for the actual shortage of county orders in several places, but they are much luckier than a few first-class jinshi who are struggling in Beijing.
After a busy period of time, several princes have also arrived in Beijing one after another, and the officials who are familiar with each other will inevitably send it, I don't know what kind of consideration, Feng Wuxian must arrive every time, but it left a peculiar impression on those officials of various ministries, only he himself knows, if it is not so, his father may have to suspect that he does not miss the feelings of flesh and blood, he has the right to be distracted, and he does not care about the ugly face of the five princes when they see him. The third prince Feng Wuyan and the fourth prince Feng Wuzhao were very enthusiastic when they saw him, and they sighed for a while, quite a bit of brotherhood, these two are scheming people, and they know that befriending this younger brother who has no intention of taking the throne will be beneficial to them in the future, of course, not as short-sighted as Feng Wuzhao. As for the six princes, they had nothing to do with him, that is, they just said goodbye lightly.
By the time these things were done, it was already early July, and in the blink of an eye, Feng Wuxian had spent two years within the palace walls, and it was a hot summer again. Originally, he was going to move to the summer resort with the emperor, and he suddenly received an incredible news, the second prince Zifeng was attacked by displaced people on the way to Fujian, because he was traveling in a micro-service, he only brought a mere fifty guards, so the whole army was wiped out, and even the wind was not spared. As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar, and the emperor was even more angry and dismissed the plan to go to the summer resort, and ordered that Nie Siyuan, the governor of Fujian, be dismissed on the spot, and the rest of the officials will be demoted by three levels, and then sent after the arrival of the imperial court.
The concubines of the harem were shocked after learning about it, not that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, but it was really the wind that died at the hands of Diao Min regardless of being the prince, so that they couldn't help but worry about their sons outside, but the pillow wind that usually worked repeatedly did not work, and the emperor heard that they tactfully requested the meaning of recalling their sons, and immediately brushed his sleeves away angrily, but he was iron-hearted, and there was no room for slowdown.
"It's weird." Chen Lingcheng was quite unimpressed with the fact that the wind was attacked and killed by the homeless, "How can the homeless people be so bold!" If the people had a way to live, they would not have done such a risky thing. What good did it do them to kill the Second Highness, did he carry a huge amount of silver tickets or a large amount of grain? There is nothing beneficial, those outcasts will never be able to do it, but the people in the court may secretly do the most.
Hongru's body trembled, "Dad, don't be alarmist, even the emperor doesn't suspect it, why are we guessing like this!" ”
Xiao Fangzi next to him had a cloudy face, as if he knew something, but considering his identity, he still didn't speak. Feng Wuxian was sharp-eyed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Fangzi, there are no outsiders here, if you know something, just say it, so that Uncle Chen can analyze and analyze it." ”
Xiao Fangzi was shocked in his heart, but since the master had already asked, even if he felt ridiculous, he still said truthfully: "Back to His Royal Highness, the slave saw his younger brother Fang Yong yesterday, I heard that there is a brother in the Aoki Society who happened to go to Fujian to visit relatives, and it happened that the frame of the second prince was robbed, he was alone, he didn't dare to show his face, and he was good at the art of concealment, so he escaped with his life, according to him, the people who participated in the looting this time were all well-trained, and under one blow, no one escaped. It's not like an ordinary homeless person, but it's somewhat similar to the army. This person was too deeply stimulated, and his words were already a little inverted, so the slave didn't pay attention to it. He looked at his master's face as he spoke.
The wind whirled without a trace, and it was almost difficult to stand up, and the color of horror was palpable. Hongru grabbed him and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, doesn't it matter?" ”
"It's fine." Feng Wuxian waved his hand tiredly, his eyes met Chen Lingcheng, and he shrank in a flash. "Xiao Fangzi, you tell your brother that you try to put all the people who have heard this kind of statement under house arrest, as for that person, it would be best if he could get rid of himself, if he couldn't, he must be sent out of the capital and strictly guarded, this matter is very important, if the news leaks, don't talk about your brother, even you and I can't save my life."
Xiao Fangzi is also a smart person, and after a little thought, his face immediately changed greatly, and he rushed out without saying a word. Feng Wuxian and Chen Lingcheng looked at Hongru's suspicious gaze, and could only explain a few words briefly, and even Hongru was almost shocked.
Feng stood in front of the window without a trace, looked at the sky with his hands, and sighed in his heart, my father is really a good means, I have endured the second brother for so long, and it is actually for such an opportunity that I can't help but get rid of a disobedient son, and I can use this to carry out a major purge of the entire Fujian, and the royal system has also been considered. It can be said that there is no last resort, and it is extremely spicy. It's just that this scheming is used on his son, which is extremely chilling.
