Chen Suowen listened to Feng Jian's narration, and his mood followed the ups and downs, even if he had years of qi cultivation work, he couldn't control the expression on his face.

Feng Jian's account of what happened was thrilling, and when Chen heard that Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and all the officials had been captured by Kong Youde's soldiers, his face became very ugly.

Sun Yuanhua suffered this catastrophe, even if Kong Youde's rebels did not kill him, the imperial court would punish him, and his career would inevitably be slim after that.

Even if he is a member of Sun Yuanhua's line, it will be difficult to get ahead in the future, it is related to his own honor and disgrace, and no one can be indifferent!

Later, when he heard that Feng Jian had rescued all the warships of the Dengzhou Naval Division, Chen felt a little incredible, his son-in-law was really not simple, and under such unfavorable conditions, he was able to transfer all the warships of the Dengzhou Naval Division without falling, which was really appalling!

Chen's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to get out of the current predicament and find another high branch.

Denglai spends 900,000 taels of silver every year, at least half of which is used by the water master, and the imperial court's investment in the water master of Denglai is not small.

Because of the existence of the Denglai Naval Division, it can directly reach southern Liaoning from the sea, directly posing a huge threat to the Houjin and directly containing a large part of the Houjin's military strength.

There are also many people of insight among the ministers of the imperial court, and they all know that to a certain extent, the Denglai Sailor is preserved, and the deterrence of Denglai Town against the Houjin is preserved, which also relieves considerable pressure on the Ming Dynasty, so they have to spend military pay to invest in the Dengzhou Sailor.

Now that Feng Jian had taken the entire fleet from Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers, Chen could imagine that the ministers of the imperial court were celebrating when they heard the news.

Compared with the erosive situation of Denglai Town being destroyed by Kong Youde's rebels. Feng Jian snatched food and transferred the Dengzhou Water Master away from Dengzhou Water City, which is definitely a miracle. As for why the officials in the water city were not rescued, no one would care about it at this time.

Chen heard the twist and pondered. If this matter works well, not only will he not be affected by Sun Yuanhua, but he can even benefit from it! But if you want to get a piece of the pie, the key depends on whether your son-in-law is willing to do it.

Chen Shuwen returned to his usual expression, stroked his long beard under his chin, and stared at Feng Jian with his eyes: "The virtuous son-in-law led the officers and soldiers of the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Battalion to rescue the entire Dengzhou Naval Division, directly cutting off the back road for Kong Youde and other rebels to escape from the sea, and it also preserved the military power of the imperial court to deter Houjin. With such a great credit, the emperor and the court will inevitably be rewarded. The day when the virtuous son-in-law will soar can be expected! The old man congratulates you in advance! ”

Feng Jian's eyes rolled, his father-in-law was affected by Sun Yuanhua, and his career would inevitably be bleak in the future.

And he is isolated in the center of the court, if he loses the only support of Chen Suowen, there will be no one in the court to help speak in the future, and it will be difficult to move an inch on matters related to himself, and he really needs a person who is familiar with the government to give advice and advice.

Since the two of them became Weng's sons-in-law, they have cared for and maintained themselves, and now they are doing this miracle. The old man must not be left behind, and let him go from a bystander to an important participant at this time.

In an instant, Feng Jian made a decision and said, "This time, I was able to take the opportunity to transfer the naval warship from Dengzhou Water City, thanks to my father-in-law's strategy and planning in advance. The son-in-law was able to rescue the Dengzhou Navy Division's warship. ”

Feng Jian's sentence of "formulating a strategy and planning in advance" carries a lot of weight, which means that the entire transfer of the Dengzhou Navy Division's warships is led by Chen Shuwen, and Feng Jian is the military attache to carry out the order. Most of the credit goes to Chen Sowen.

Chen was relieved that his son-in-law was by no means idle. In order to achieve the set goals, some vested interests will be decisively sacrificed. Now it seems that his son-in-law is not small!

Chen is not an old-fashioned person, since he and Feng Jian are already Weng's sons-in-law, they naturally have to think more about their own people.

Up to now, if the two want to gain a firm foothold in the court, they must support each other and help each other, Feng Jian's meaning is obvious, that is, to take this opportunity to get rid of the impact of the Sun Yuanhua incident, so that he can go further in his career.

Why is his son-in-law not too keen on his career, but instead tries his best to promote himself, Chen is a little strange when he hears it, Feng Jian's actions seem to have another meaning!

I really didn't know in advance that Feng Jian had built a naval division city near the mouth of the Nanjiaolai River in advance, and now all the warships of the Dengzhou naval division are moored there.

It can be seen that Feng Jian had a premeditated plan for the Dengzhou Navy Division, could it be that he already knew in advance that Kong Youde's rebellious troops would capture Dengzhou City!

Chen shook his head secretly when he heard this, driving this ridiculous thought out of his mind, Feng Jian was so scheming, and the ultimate goal was nothing more than to control these warships in his own hands.

Since he gave himself this great credit, he planned for him and followed his wishes.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces, and they knew each other.

Chen thought for a while, and said: "Dengzhou City is occupied by Kong Youde's rebellious army, and the holy lord and the ministers of the court must have been reported for this matter, but they may not know that the virtuous son-in-law transferred the sailor's ship, and he must be in a hurry to discuss how to deal with this rebellious army." ”

Seeing Feng Jian nodding, he continued: "The old man suggests that you report the transfer of the Dengzhou Navy Master to the imperial court as soon as possible, so as to appease the Holy Lord and the ministers of the imperial court. ”

Feng Jian said: "How to write this piece?" Who should be credited? Which ministers of the DPRK and China should be bribed? The son-in-law dared to ask his father-in-law to call the shots, and the money required was planned by the son-in-law, and the only one was that the sailor warship must be in my hands. ”

Listening to Feng Jian simply and neatly say his request, Chen Suowen touched his beard, frowned and thought for a while: "In addition to you and me and the meritorious personnel under his command, it is best to make a contribution to Governor Sun Yuanhua." ”

Seeing Feng Jian's puzzled expression, Chen Suowen explained: "Kong Youde's chaotic army captured Dengzhou, if there was no order from Sun Yuanhua, and you transferred the naval division warship privately, even if you successfully transferred the naval division's ship, it can be regarded as a big handle. As long as someone talks about it, your great achievements will be discredited. Therefore, it is best to indicate in the recital that it was on the order of Sun Yuanhua to transfer the Dengzhou Naval Division, so as not to fall into the hands of Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers, of course, this is not what Sun Yuanhua can ask for in the middle of right and wrong. Of course, he would not refuse our kindness. ”

Feng Jian was thorough at one point, and said: "Wouldn't it be more solid to do this, you and I are Sun Yuanhua." They're going to target us. ”

Chen shook his head and said: "The advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, and it solves the problem of doing things without orders." And let the courtiers see that we are not ruthless and unrighteous people who fall into the well, which is a double win. As for the attack you are worried about, it is inevitable to be in the middle of the court, and the best way is to try to use the silver to open the way and block the mouths of those imperial historians. ”

Feng Jian said: "It is a good move to show Sun Yuanhua, but the son-in-law does not approve of continuing to have too much collusion with Sun Yuanhua, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet above the court, and Wen Tiren, the second assistant, fight to the death, Zhou Yanru acts without scruples, and sooner or later he will lose his sacred heart." And although Wen Tiren is also very greedy, he always panders to the emperor everywhere, and sooner or later he will replace Zhou Yanru as the first assistant of the cabinet. ”

Chen looked at his son-in-law with surprise on his face, as if he didn't know him, just now he still looked like he was only accepting it humbly, but suddenly he was the head of the analysis of the court situation, and it was reasonable.

Of course, Chen didn't know that Feng Jian had experience in later generations. has a general understanding of the upcoming events, and is puzzled, but Feng Jian suddenly opened his mind under his own inspiration and understood the sinister nature of the court.

Chen nodded and said, "The two factions in the court are fighting. We were on the outermost side, and we should have avoided it as much as possible, and we didn't get involved in anything. Now the matter of the sailor has pushed our son-in-law to the forefront. Forcing us to make a choice, in the old man's opinion, Lord Wen Renwen's faction does take the initiative. They should be moved closer to. ”

The old man recognized his statement, and Feng Jian was in a good mood. He continued: "Even with the support of the officials of the Wen Tiren family, it is still a bit hanging to control the water master, and the younger son-in-law thinks that he still has to find some allies. ”

Chen Suowen looked at Feng Jian with blazing eyes, and said, "The meaning of the virtuous son-in-law is ......"

Feng Jian nodded and said, "My lord still remembers the eunuch Gao Binggao last time......

Chen said: "You mean that through this high father-in-law, this matter will be directly opened to the sky!" As he spoke, he pointed his finger upward, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

The son-in-law remembered that Gonggong Gao once said that as long as the court spent enough money, there was nothing that could not be done, and the words were so affirmative, there must be something behind it. Let's take this opportunity to spend money to bribe Gao Gonggong and the people behind Gao Gonggong, not only can we do the current thing, but also can be used as Austrian aid, and there will definitely be no shortage of difficult things in the court in the future. ”

Chen shook his head and said: "Dealing with the eunuchs of the inner court, the old man has no way, and it is better for you to handle the matter of getting in touch with this high father-in-law." ”

Feng Jian also knew that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty and the eunuchs of the inner court had always competed with each other, and it was indeed difficult for a strong man to expect a civil official who Chen had heard of to put down his body and go forward to bribe the eunuchs of the inner court.

Feng Jian said: "The matter of contacting the inner court, the son-in-law will appoint his subordinates separately, and the silver and property required for bribes will be prepared, but the matter of the ministers of the court will be bothered by the father-in-law." ”

Chen Suowen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Feng Jian didn't embarrass himself, which made him very relieved, and now he had to plan who his subordinates should visit after entering Beijing? And how should bribes be paid? How should the recital of meritorious service be expressed?

Thinking of the pride, Chen felt a burst of excitement, he was outstanding in two consecutive evaluations in Pingdu, if there was no Sun Yuanhua involved, his promotion would be just around the corner.

Now that the son-in-law has given himself such a big credit all of a sudden, the promotion is a certainty, the difference is the strength of the promotion and whether he has real power.

Chen Suowen stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "You and I are now a family, there is no need to be so polite, the old man will write a recital and arrange the personnel to enter Beijing, you will also go back to arrange the preparations, and go to Beijing tomorrow with the people arranged by the old man, and strive for a result in this matter as soon as possible, what does the virtuous son-in-law think of this arrangement?" ”

Unconsciously, Chen Suowen's attitude towards Feng Jian has changed, which Feng Jian can also feel, there will be a bigger gap between the two sides in the future, but now it is not easy to say anything.

Feng Jian stood up and bowed and said, "Everything is arranged by my father-in-law, and my son-in-law will go back to make arrangements." ”！！ (To be continued......)
