Happy New Year, book friends! ――

Wei Ming hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Highness, the students have benefited a lot from the great Confucians of the Hongwen Pavilion for advice!" ”

Huang Fuheng smiled and nodded, "I talked to Mr. Yang Zhiwen just now, he praised you, he thinks that your strength in this year's Jinshi Imperial Examination is in the top ten, if you play well on the spot, you can even enter the top three, I hope you can give me strength." ”

"Returning to Your Highness, the students will do their best and will never disappoint Your Highness."

Wei Ming didn't know what Huang Fuheng was doing when he came to him today, he had been thinking about what kind of future he could get in the past two days, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, could he let the prince hint something to him?

But he didn't dare to bring it up, and his heart was like being crawled by a small worm, which made him anxious.

Huang Fuheng seemed to know his anxiety, so he smiled faintly and said: "I came today to talk to you about your career, I want to ask you first, what do you think?" ”

Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, he had too many ideas, but what was the use of his thoughts no matter how much he thought about it, he wanted to make a history of thorns, is it possible? Wei Ming smiled bitterly, "The students don't know either!" ”

Huangfu Heng smiled, "It's that I didn't make it clear, I'm going to ask, do you want to stay in Beijing, or go to a place?" ”

Wei Ming has thought about this problem, from his original intention, he wants to go to the place, but he wants to go to the rich county, if he goes to the small county in the border wilderness, then he might as well stay in Beijing, like Su Hanzhen, after ten years in the East Palace, and then go to a place similar to Donghai County for the history of assassination.

If he goes to the place, he may be assigned to the county with a big surname, he can't take this risk, thinking of this, Wei Ming said in a low voice: "Back to Your Highness, if possible, the student is willing to stay in the East Palace to serve His Highness." ”

Huangfu Heng smiled slightly, "That's it! Originally, the term of office of Zhang County Commander of Weiyang County had expired, and I wanted to fight for this position for you, but I didn't expect you to want to stay in the East Palace, but it's a pity. ”

Wei Ming was stunned, and suddenly regretted it in his heart, Weiyang County! He dreamed of going, if he could become the county magistrate of Weiyang County, then he would be satisfied, but his words had already been spoken, how could he regret it, but Ming's face showed bitter remorse.

Huang Fuheng saw it in his eyes, secretly proud in his heart, and said quietly: "Regarding the Weiyang County Order, I have to think about it again, if you can get into the top three, maybe I can arrange you as the Weiyang County Order, and this matter is not too urgent." ”

Wei Ming was overjoyed, this was equivalent to the promise that the prince gave himself, he hurriedly got up and gave a deep salute, "Wei Ming is willing to serve His Royal Highness to the death!" ”

"No need to be polite!"

Huang Fuheng waved his hand, and asked him lightly: "There is one more thing, I want to ask you, I don't know if you are willing to tell me the truth." ”

"As long as His Highness asks, Wei Ming'an dares not to tell the truth!"

"Good! Then I want to know, when you entered Beijing and encountered the pirates of the Baisha Society, how did you get rid of their pursuit, or even defeat them? Su Tingshi wrote to me that he only sent ten officials to escort him, but none of these ten officials went to sea, what happened in the middle, are you willing to tell me the truth? ”

"This...."Wei Ming hesitated, if he said it, would it hurt his brother?

"What, do you find it difficult?" Huang Fuheng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of coldness, "If you don't want to say it, then forget it." ”

How dare Wei Ming not say it, if he doesn't say it, his future will be over, his lips moved, and finally whispered: "It's the Phoenix Society." ”

Sure enough, it was the Phoenix Society, Huang Fuheng suddenly became excited, and he continued to ask: "How do you know the people of the Phoenix Society?" How will Phoenix help you? ”

"Your Highness, it's not me, it's ..... It's my brother Wu Jin who knows. ”

After speaking, Wei Ming knelt down and begged: "Your Highness, my brother is young and ignorant, and he has made a mistake with a bandit, I beg His Highness to forgive him and give him a chance to make amends." ”

Huangfu Heng shook his head slightly, he leaned forward and said in a low voice: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to pursue Wu Jin, on the contrary, the Phoenix Society intercepted the Japanese Kou Meritorious, the imperial court has already had a secret agreement with the Phoenix Society, and it is not rebellious, I just want to know, how did Wu Jin know the Phoenix Society, and to what extent?" ”

Wei Ming suddenly understood what Huang Fu Heng meant, did Huang Fu Heng want to take the Phoenix Club into his pocket?

He thought it was incredible, the Phoenix Society was a pirate, and it was unacceptable that the dignified crown prince should have something to do with pirates.

But Huang Fuheng's words could not be answered, Wei Ming said cautiously: "Back to Your Highness, Wu Jin has been away from home to study art for seven years, maybe he knew the people of the Phoenix Society at that time, and the specific students don't know. ”

"And what else? Who are the people who came to Beijing with you? You wouldn't say they were dart masters, would you? ”

"Back to Your Highness, the people who entered Beijing together are indeed members of the Phoenix Society, and they are all the children of the Phoenix Society's master, a total of four people, three men and one woman, but where they are now, the students really don't know."

Huang Fu Heng's eyes were fixed on Wei Ming, and he couldn't see what he was hiding from his eyes, so Huang Fu Heng smiled, got up and said, "Okay then!" Doesn't bother you with your studies. ”

Wei Ming hurriedly got up to see him off, and when he walked to the door, Huang Fuheng patted him on the shoulder again, and said to him with a smile: "Admitted to the top three, this is my requirement for you, as long as you can be admitted to the top three, I will also give you a surprise." ”

"Your Highness's grace, students should be remembered, please rest assured, students will do their best to compete for the top three."

Huang Fu Heng gave a few more words to Wei Ming's living arrangements, and he went back to the inner palace, he walked while pondering, in fact, Wei Ming guessed his thoughts, Huang Fu Heng did not want to exterminate the Phoenix Society, but wanted the Phoenix Society to become his strength, the Phoenix Society occupied Ryukyu Island, it is said that there are 8,000 island soldiers and hundreds of warships, which is definitely a strong force.

He knew that another pirate White Sand Society had actually been attached to Uncle Shen, it was Uncle Shen who had the power of the sea in his hands, and he had nothing at sea, if he could take the Phoenix Society into his own possession, it would not only greatly strengthen his strength, but also enable him to obtain a large source of wealth, and it was said that the wealth accumulated by the Phoenix Society for decades could be called a rich country.

Huangfu Heng couldn't help but feel excited, and when he walked to the gate of the palace, he waved to Xu Chong, the chief of the guard, and Xu Chong immediately stepped forward, "Please give instructions to Your Highness!" ”

Huangfu Heng took out a gold medal and gave it to him, "You go to the Lanling County Palace, find Wu Jin, and give him this gold medal." ”

Xu Zhong glanced at the gold medal, and couldn't help but be stunned, the prince has a total of two East Palace gold medals, one is silver-plated, called the inner gold medal, mainly for the henchmen, and the other is the pure gold medal, also known as the outer gold medal, mainly for some henchmen, a total of ten, as far as he knows, there are already eight sides outside, and the prince still has two sides left in his hand, and now the prince gives him is one of the only two left, it stands to reason that it should be given to Wujin Inner Gold Medal, how to take an outer gold medal to him, Xu Chong's first reaction was that the prince made a mistake.

"Your Highness, this is a foreign gold medal......" he cautioned as he reminded.

"I know, you take it to him."

"Yes!" Xu Chong didn't dare to say more, and took the gold medal to retreat.

Huang Fuheng stopped him again, "Send more surveillance personnel, but the goal has changed, cancel the surveillance of Wujin, and instead monitor a few people with him, do you know who I am referring to?" ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Xu Zhong took the gold medal and turned around, Huangfu Heng watched his back disappear, but in his heart he was thinking about how to completely recover Wujin like his eldest brother Weiming, and now Wujin is not only a bridge for him to win over Zhang Chongjun, but also a bridge for him to win over the Phoenix Society, which is becoming more and more important.

At the same time, Huang Fuheng's heart was also full of questions, how did Wu Jin know so many powerful forces, and this question became a mystery in his heart.

．．．．．．．． At the same moment when Huangfu Heng went to see Weiming, Uncle Shen's study was also full of tension and uneasiness. Sure enough, as he expected, Bao Hongwu, a fool, failed again, let the cooked duck fly, Uncle Shen Guo was already angry, and directly ordered someone to break Bao Hongwu's leg and remove him from all his positions, he had given Bao Hongwu too many opportunities, but he didn't cherish it once.

A good opportunity to bring down Zhang Chongjun made this person's stupidity ruined, Uncle Shen Guo sat in the study and began to blame himself, this is also his responsibility, it is caused by his nepotism and improper employment, and it is his mistake to hand over such an important matter to a fool.

Uncle Shen Guo's heart was full of chagrin and regret, but he was indeed a person who could accept failure, and only half an hour later, he put the Tiger Fu case behind him, and no longer thought about it, but wanted another piece of news he got this afternoon.

In the afternoon, not long after he returned home, the news of the Baisha Society came, and he got a shocking news that the reason why the Baisha Society failed to rob the silver was because the Phoenix Society intervened, and the people of the Phoenix Society saved the silver envoy and his party.

What does that mean? Uncle Shen Guo slowly tasted the taste, which shows that the prince is very likely to collude with the Phoenix, of course Uncle Shen would not have thought that the first pirate in the East China Sea turned out to be a favor of Wujin, and the Phoenix Society should naturally be the prince's arrangement.

This is definitely an exciting discovery, Uncle Shen knows very well what Phoenix will mean to the Daning Dynasty, it means a rebel army at sea, not controlled by the imperial court, if the prince and Phoenix will collude, it means that the prince secretly raises a private army, which is something that the emperor resolutely cannot tolerate.

Uncle Shen Guo paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, he had completely forgotten about the Tiger Talisman case, and all his thoughts were on the Phoenix Society.

He still clearly remembers that thirty years ago, his father, who was then Tobe Langzhong, told him that when the Phoenix would loot the 2,000 grain ships of the imperial court, it would have a serious impact on the imperial court, and how many people would lose their heads and how many people would be dismissed.

Although in the end the imperial court and the Phoenix Society reached a compromise, it was not because the imperial court spared the Phoenix Society, but after several failed attacks, it was the helpless choice of the imperial court, and no monarch would allow a powerful separatist force to appear, even at sea.

The emperor is actually thinking about destroying the Phoenix Society all the time, if he knows that the prince and the phoenix will collude, what a funny thing it would be.

Uncle Shen's face showed a trace of smugness that was difficult to hide.

"Uncle Guo, General Shao brought people here!" A guard reported at the door.

"Bring him in!"
