Without a Trace Volume 7 Capture the Heir Chapter 11 Mental Art
、、、、、、、
On the third day of November in the 28th year of Wanlie, it was the winter solstice, after the emperor gave a banquet in the Baohe Palace, he rewarded Prince Rong with his speechless and diligent state affairs and meritorious service in government affairs. In addition, Prince Rong and Princess Zhao Su silk brocade 30 horses, 5 sets of palace clothes, 10 pieces of head jewelry. In contrast, the rewards of other royal wives are much thinner, except for the noble status of Prince Qin Hai Ruoxin, who has an extra reward of beads Ruyi, the other wives are nothing more than four pieces of jewelry and ten brocades. As for those princes and relatives of the emperor, they are a few imperial gifts, new books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., to deal with the past.
The thick and thin rewards immediately made the people in the capital talk a lot, and the officials who were originally like grass on the wall immediately became restless again. Although Feng Wuyan had been in charge of government affairs for some time, the emperor repeatedly belittled the officials of his faction and vigorously promoted those low-grade officials who were impartial in party struggles, so many officials were no longer optimistic about the Prince Rong. At this moment, these people were speechless and showed their faces among the princes, so they had to lament that their vision was not good, and those who could drill the camp suddenly crowded the alley in front of Prince Rong's mansion.
Under the love house and Wu, even the Degui Concubine Lan clan also won the lottery. Because she was too domineering in the palace at the beginning, there were really a lot of concubines who offended, so after the Xiao family was promoted to the queen, there were fewer and fewer concubines who came to Xiuning Palace to walk around, and even the emperor was rarely lucky. Although the poor Lan family's mother family is also a generational eunuch, his brother Lan Chengyi only has a thankless work in the court, and he can't even find a place to cry. This time, the emperor rewarded Feng Wuyan heavily, and after the winter solstice, he rested in Xiuning Palace for a few days. It made Lan overjoyed.
Just after Feng Wuyan and the gang let go of the big stone in their hearts, the emperor summoned the six princes Feng Wuqing in the Qinzheng Palace. He is a little interested in this son who can judge the situation and choose the right time. Now, although he intends to summon the wind to return to Beijing without a trace. But it took a month to come and go, so I had to choose a few reliable people among the royal family.
"The son knocks on his father." Feng Wuqing knelt down respectfully and kowtowed. He has always been the least outstanding among the princes. Mother Xi Concubine Fang's holy family is just ordinary, so except for the presence of the princes, there are few opportunities to meet the Holy Land at other times, even if it is summoned by the father, it is also in response to the scene to say some words. This is unique to the situation today.
"Wuqing, now that the former Shang Cui Xun of the Ministry of Rites has left office, the new Shang has not yet been decided, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are managed by you and Ma Fengchu, the left waiter. It's been more than a year since you were an envoy to the Ministry of Rites, but what do you know? The Emperor asked with a smirk. This left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Ma Fengchu, is the uncle of the Four Princes, although the relationship with the mother family of Concubine Yun and Concubine Ma is extremely estranged, but after all, he is also a member of the Ma family, so the emperor thought about it again and again, but still did not make a decision to let him make up for the position of the Ministry of Rites.
Feng Wuqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, although the messenger of the Ministry of Rites was on his nerd's spleen and stomach. But many things are on the table, if it is said that honor is naturally the first, but it is really difficult to say that one is the reason for it. But since the father has already opened his mouth to ask. He couldn't help but answer, "Back to my father, my sons and daughters don't have many days in the Ministry of Rites, and the four divisions of ceremonies, ancestral sacrifices, hosts and guests, and fine meals have only been seen in a casual manner. It is only known that the etiquette system is complicated, and ministers who are not familiar with etiquette and law cannot do it. However, there are not a few people who are full of Confucianism, and these people often ignore mundane affairs, and rarely hand over to foreign ministers, but the nerd habits of the sons and daughters are about the right for their spleen and stomach, so they get along well. As for the tribute and other affairs, the ministers did not dare to interfere with it. ”
The emperor couldn't help but show a relieved smile, Feng Wuqing could understand these truths, which meant that he knew the bottom line of his future actions, and the envoys of other ministries could also let him practice his hands.
"Wuqing, you have always been idle, and the affairs everywhere are complicated, so you must have a good life. Well, since Cui Xun is vacant, this position has to be filled by someone. In these days in the Ministry of Rites, what do you think of the person Zuo Lang Ma Fengchu? If he is not fit for the position, I will have to find another suitable person. ”
Feng Wuqing was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of joy. The fact that my father asked him about such an official candidate shows that he has won the favor of the Holy Family. However, the more critical it is, the more difficult it is to deal with it. He quietly pinched his palm with his fingernails, and then he barely calmed down, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "According to Erchen's opinion, Master Ma rarely pinches foreign officials on weekdays, and acts impartially, which should be enough to be qualified for the position of Shang." ”
This answer surprised the emperor, you must know that Feng Wuqing has been in the Ministry of Rites for many days, and he should know something about Ma Fengchu's background. With the grievances of the wind and the wind in the past, it should not be easy to recommend this person. "Wuqing, do you know that Ma Fengchu is also from the Ma family, and he is related to your fourth brother?"
"Back to his father's words, the sons only know that Master Ma is cautious and self-reliant as an official, skilled in commanding, and lenient and rigorous, so he recommended him, and he didn't dare to abolish righteousness because of personal grudges!"
The wind did not clear his head and replied. He had already heard the sound of the Emperor's questioning just now, so he was extremely glad that he was astute.
"What a person who doesn't dare to abolish righteousness because of personal grudges!" The emperor stroked his palms and praised, "Since you have this heart, I can rest assured." There is no clear, the temple of the Ministry of Rites is too small, and there are not many messengers who need your assistance. Now that there is no trace of going out of Beijing, there is only one person in the household department, Yue Qianfan, who is inevitably too busy, so you will go to the household department to help the envoy, and by the way, learn those things on the money. The household is an important part of the treasury, and without a reliable royal family to suppress it, I am not very reassured. Now that you've grown up, I'll hand over the household to you! ”
Feng Wuqing prostrated himself deeply and thanked him, and the ecstasy in his heart could no longer be suppressed. From the moment he made up his mind to regain his strength, he was not the idle prince who only knew the wind and snow, and only by holding power could he win respect, and he had fully understood this. Thinking of this, Feng Wuqing made up his mind, he must live up to his father's trust when he goes to the household.
Hearing that Feng Wuqing had received the envoy of the household department, several princes on Feng Wuyan's side couldn't help but be stunned, and even Feng Wuhou, who had always been indifferent, felt a palpitation. Feng Wujing and Feng Wuwu were analyzing their father's intentions over there, calculating many gains and losses like a clown, while Feng Wuyan was calm over there without saying a word. The emperor's act of slapping a mallet to give a sweet date made these royal families quite confused. After all, they still have a shallow experience, and when an old man like Murong Tianfang can't see the situation, how can they see through the geometry?
Feng Wuhou just watched the brothers clamoring over there, and his heart was already painfully decided. Feng Wuyan borrowed the name of the Yin family to do those things, how could he not know, it was just playing with fire and self-immolation.
Not to mention the emperor's all-pervasive secret agents, how can the guards around Feng Wuxian be decorations? He made a real choice at that time, while he still had chips in his hand, and some people hidden in the shadows, if he didn't take refuge now, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to make a stable prince in the future. Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, he can still understand this simple truth.
However, the emperor's movements were far faster than they had imagined, and an insignificant little servant in the Eight Emperors' Prince's Fujun Wang Feng Wujing Mansion became the fuse for all this. This person was expelled from the palace for fornicating with the palace maid, and in order to vent his anger, he reported to Zhang Qian, the governor of Jiumen, that the Fujun palace was secretly hiding thieves. This news is not trivial, although Zhang Qian suspected that this was Diao Nu's slander, but the stakes were very high, and he did not dare to hide it and not report it, so he immediately sent someone to report to the emperor in a hurry.
Feng Wujing, who was taken to the Qinzheng Palace by the imperial guards overnight, was still at a loss, and when he knew what happened, he couldn't help but be shocked, and wept bitterly in front of the emperor, and swore to deny it. The emperor didn't bother to ask, and directly asked people to take him to confront him. The two people who were searched by a group of guards from the side courtyard of the palace could not bear the torture, and confessed early that they were the bandits of Taihang Mountain who had gathered a crowd to rob the court and rescue their accomplices fifteen years ago. Feng Wujing never dreamed that his manager would actually recruit such two scourges, and after some answers, he fainted straightforwardly.
Although there are many idlers in the royal family, it is the first time that two important criminals arrested by the government have been directly searched out from the palace. The next day, the emperor issued a decree to get rid of the unseen King of Fujun and handed it over to the Zongren Mansion. Everyone knows that Feng Wujing, who commits crimes at this juncture, is afraid that he will not be able to escape punishment, at least until the new monarch ascends the throne. Even the mother Zhao who had no scenery with the wind was also eaten, and her rank was reduced from Concubine Xian to Concubine Xian.
The emperor's actions undoubtedly shocked many noble children in the capital, so the palaces of various princes and ministers were busy cleaning up idle people. Those guys who didn't know the details of the palace who were expelled from the palace by their masters lost their jobs all of a sudden, and they couldn't help but say a few more words under their resentment, and the yamen of Shuntian Mansion Yin was suddenly filled with all kinds of prisoners.
Although the wind is speechless and the wind is silent, although there is a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox, it is difficult to protect himself at this time, where do you dare to meddle in things, so you have to entrust the wind to act expediently. Feng Wuxian has a very good relationship with this starling brother on weekdays, and knelt in front of the Qinzheng Hall and begged for two hours before he was allowed to go to see his brother. He also had to do this, just the sadness of his mother and aunt made him upset, not to mention that he still had many handles in Feng Wujing's hands. The brotherhood between the two of them, who usually go in and out together, has become his biggest weakness at this time, if everything is out in a hurry, it will not be a few people who are finished.
Just when there was a commotion in the capital for the wind and scenery, the piece of jade that showed auspiciousness from the sky was finally delivered. Although there was no publicity along the way, these soldiers who originally belonged to the Breaking Battalion publicized the matter as soon as they entered Beijing. Suddenly, the streets and alleys were filled with auspicious news. Lingyun Zhiwei Traceless Chapter 7 Winning the Throne Chapter 11 Mental Technique
