Chapter 132: Behind Closed Doors
Hearing that Li Fang was not there, Dong Chao said, "My lord, let's go back!" It's freezing and cold! "Snowflakes are falling in the sky at this moment, and this wax moon is the coldest time of the year.
Feng Manlou felt very strange, in such a cold weather, Li Fang was an old man, and it was getting late now, but he didn't believe that Li Fang was not there.
Feng Manlou knew what the situation was, groped in his pocket for a while, took out five taels of silver, and handed it to the little man who guarded the door. This is a huge amount of money, and if it is exchanged for copper coins, it can be exchanged for seven or eight pounds, and it weighs at least ten catties.
The little guy suddenly smiled, and said, "Lord Feng, please wait a moment, the little one goes in and sees, has the master come back!" β
Feng Manlou turned around and said to Dong Chao: "Did you see it, this Li Shangshu must be there." Just don't want to see me! β
The little guy just walked out a few steps, turned his head and said: "Ouch, Lord Feng, you don't know something, now our master is Hanlin Chengzhi, you must not call him Shangshu when you see him, Shangshu has long since done it." β
The officials of the Hanlin Academy are the most noble, but the Hanlin Chengzhi is in charge of the Hanlin Academy. It is even more noble among the nobles, and compared to the six books, it must have a much higher status.
This little guy looked proud, and Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Thank you little brother for mentioning it!" β
However, after the little guy went, he soon returned. said to Feng Manlou: "The master said that he is very sleepy now, and he wants to rest, please come back later!" β
Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Then I'll wait here, it's okay!" β
I saw that after the little guy finished speaking, he went to close the door by himself. The five people of the wind full building were cooled aside. Sun Hu couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted in his mouth: "Isn't it just a big official, in the eyes of grandpa, it's nothing!" What kind of etiquette is it to leave us out in the cold! β
Wang Ying hurriedly covered Sun Hu's mouth and said, "Haven't you heard of the three visits to the thatched house?" β
Sun Hu said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of three visits to the thatched house, just a bad old man, is it better than Wolong?" β
Wang Ying said: "Okay, okay! It's not time for us to ask for help! β
Feng Manlou saw that the two were about to quarrel, and hurriedly said, "Okay! It's mine, isn't it, how can I say it, this Lord Chengzhi is also my mentor, but after being in Beijing for so long, I didn't even come to visit, and it is understandable that people do this! Besides, we're still begging for someone now! β
Sure enough, Feng Manlou guessed well, and after waiting for about half an hour, the group saw that the door was opened, and the little guy came out and said: "The master woke up just now, and said that I am afraid that Lord Feng will be frozen for so long, let the little one come and invite the adult to sit inside!" β
Feng Manlou hurriedly thanked him! After following this little guy in, Sun Hu Wang Ying and the four of them went in, followed behind, passed through the corridor, and arrived at the courtyard inside, the little guy signaled the other four people not to go in again, only to see Feng Manlou follow the little guy into a hall.
Feng Manlou came in and saw Li Fang sitting upright on the chair, hurriedly bent down, bowed deeply, and said in his mouth: "The student visited the teacher, and I am grateful to be received by the teacher!" β
Li Fang's lips moved, and he looked at Feng Manlou's body, which was full of snowflakes, which was also deliberately done by Feng Manlou to win sympathy! Li Fang couldn't help but blush slightly, fortunately, he was old, and his qi cultivation kung fu had arrived at home, and it had no effect on this Fengmanlou, if it wasn't for the official family's words, I am afraid that he would have forgotten this student.
"Let's get up and talk first!" Li Fang still said unhurriedly.
Feng Manlou hurriedly stood up and said, "The students have come to Beijing for a long time, and they didn't come to visit, and the students are very scared!" Today, I passed by a medicinal herb store and specially bought a century-old ginseng, which was regarded as a little meeting gift for students! β
At this time, I saw that Wang Ying handed over the things in his hand to the little guy, and it was not strange that many people were courteous, Li Fang still said: "I see that you are Feng Xingren, but you remembered to ask God, so you came to burn incense!" Young people just don't know how to score inches! β
Feng Manlou looked frightened, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for the teacher's teaching!" β
Li Fang said: "You are also my student, the old man has presided over the tribute for so many years, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world. You're the first one to be so daring. Do you know that the political affairs hall is going to discuss how to punish you! β
Feng Manlou said: "Since the students dare to play the chapter, they are naturally mentally prepared! After speaking, he looked at Li Fang's expression, which didn't seem to fluctuate, and then said: "The student wants to hear the teacher talk about the things in the court today!" β
Li Fang said: "It's not a secret, I believe that the matter above the court has been spread today." Yes, at that time, the official family almost made King Wei the prince. Just because of you! Therefore, you should ask for more blessings, this piece will be handed over directly to the emperor without going through the Tongjin Division, at least this hundred boards are indispensable! β
Feng Manlou asked, "What the students still want to ask is, what does the teacher think of the Great Prince?" β
Li Fang knew that this was Feng Manlou testing himself, and he was not in a hurry to speak, but just asked, "I heard that you are very close to the Great Emperor Weiwang?" β
Feng Manlou nodded very dryly.
Li Fang continued to ask, "Then what do you think of King Wei?" β
Feng Manlou thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei is kind-hearted, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty have experienced hundreds of years of war, so there is today's Great Song Dynasty, the people are already miserable, and they need a benevolent king, therefore, the students feel that His Royal Highness King Wei is worthy of being the most ideal candidate for the prince!" β
Li Fang still had a calm expression and said, "What about the Khitan?" In the face of the party, how did Tubo do? Annam rebellion, and how? There is also the Li Dynasty in the south, last year it was the Baiteng River, and our Great Song Dynasty just suffered a defeat! These are all military, do you think that a benevolent monarch can handle it? β
Feng Manlou smiled, the teacher was also very strange, and said: "Teacher, since the eldest prince can be favored by the official family, it is natural that he will be recognized by the official family in some aspects!" And the official family is now complete in terms of civil governance and martial arts, and the only unfulfilled wish is the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Therefore, the students believe that the prince selected by the official family must be the one who will have the ability to recover the sixteen states of Youyun in the future. This requires a certain amount of martial arts! β
This martial arts is not the martial arts on the rivers and lakes, but corresponds to Wenzhi. But listening to Feng Manlou continued: "Isn't the second prince benevolent? The three princes are even more benevolent. If you look at it from this aspect, the eldest prince does not have an advantage at all, and the only one who has an advantage, in addition to the identity of the eldest son of the emperor, more importantly, the eldest prince has the determination to recover the clouds! β
Li Fang smiled and said, "Not bad! I didn't expect you to be as wise as a torch, and you could see through the thoughts of the officials. When the eldest prince was only thirteen years old, once a Khitan envoy came to the court and was very surprised to see the eldest prince kill a rabbit with an arrow. At that time, the eldest prince was only thirteen years old! The official family was very fond of the eldest prince at this time. Later, the eldest prince gradually grew up, and Wu Luo made great progress, and became more and more favored by the official family. It's just that it's still a little difficult to establish the crown prince! β
Feng Manlou said with a smile: "With the support of the teacher, the eldest prince also has a chance!" β
Li Fang sighed and said: "After all, the old lady is weak, although the protΓ©gΓ©s are old all over the world, but the ones who are really qualified to speak are none other than Lu Mengzheng and Hu Dan." But what I didn't expect was that yesterday Hu Dan and them suddenly turned to support King Wei! β
Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is this Hu Dan?" β
Li Fang smiled disdainfully and said: "Hu Dan has a person called Hu Sangeng, what do you say?" There is also that Dong Yan, who is called Dong Midnight, do you know why? β
Feng Manlou smiled and said, "I've heard of it!" Could it be that the teacher meant to say that it was the King of Wei who gave them some official position? β
Li Fang nodded and said, "I'm afraid so!" However, today the King of Wei did not take the position of the prince, today is the best opportunity, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy next. And if nothing else, tomorrow the government hall will definitely propose to investigate the content of your performance. This King Wei is cocooning himself this time! β
Feng Manlou said: "Listening to the teacher's teachings, the students suddenly felt that their mouths were suddenly opened! The students thank the teacher for His Royal Highness King Wei! β
Li Fang was depressed for a while, thinking, I didn't promise to support Zhao Yuanzuo, but I already did it. didn't deny it, just said: "However, if you want King Wei to dispel the idea of the prince, I'm afraid it will have to fall on one person!" β
Feng Manlou asked who it was, and Li Fang told him about the things in the court during the day, and he happened to mention Wang Renzhan!
Speaking of this, Li Fang sighed and said, "This Wang Renzhan is really ungrateful. The official family is not thin on him. But I didn't expect it to be like this at the critical moment! β
Feng Manlou didn't know about Wang Renzhan's situation, but he heard Li Fang say carefully: "Wang Renzhan has been sitting in the position of the third envoy for thirteen years. Do you know why? β
Feng Manlou didn't answer, waiting for Li Fang to continue: "Because Wang Renzhan is a subordinate of the old bureaucracy, he was a subordinate of the official family when he was in the palace, so he won the trust of the official family. However, as everyone knows, if the position of these three envoys is too greedy, it is not a good thing! β
But I heard Li Fang continue: "Wang Renzhan's performance today, I'm afraid it's close to death. Have you ever heard of Chen Shu? β
Feng Manlou shook his head, and Li Fang said: "Chen Shu, this person, just right!" is now the judge of the third division of the Gou Court, and there is also a Song Qi, who is also the judge of the Gou Court, both of whom are just famous. The official family let them enter the Yamen of the Three Divisions, the purpose of which was to keep an eye on the Three Divisions, which was the money bag of the Great Song Dynasty! Can you not be careful? Wang Renzhan himself was not clean in the first place, but now he has done such a thing, I am afraid that if Chen Shu and Song Qi expose it again, Wang Renzhan will be finished! β
Feng Manlou asked: "Yes, the most important thing at the moment is to solve Wang Renzhan, as long as Wang Renzhan is solved, King Wei will lose a big help!" β
Li Fang said: "We don't need to do this, we just need to wait for a while!" This Wang Renzhan has been the third envoy for thirteen years, and he is not afraid that there will be no stains? β
Now that Li Fang is talking, he has said that we have already regarded Feng Manlou as his own. In fact, Feng Manlou knew that since Li Fang dared to support Zhao Yuanzuo, he would fight for it very well!
"If you want the eldest prince to successfully ascend to the position of prince, you must solve the problem of King Wei, and to solve King Wei, you must have the support of two people!" Li Fang said.
Feng Manlou hurriedly asked, "Which two people?" β
Li Fang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't say, don't say!" β
Feng Manlou woke up violently, what is this? The real protagonist Zhao Yuanzuo didn't come, just say it himself, people can say so much, it's already heart-to-heart, what else do you want to think?
Thinking of this, Feng Manlou also had an idea, and when he saw Li Fang yawning uncontrollably, he got up and said goodbye! After Feng Manlou left, Li Fang was full of smiles. (To be continued.) )
