After Cen Wenwen successfully passed Feng Deyi's test, under the leadership of Feng Deyi, they came to Feng Deyi's mansion together.

In the hall, after the guests and hosts were seated, Cen Wenwen looked around.

The hall is very large and spacious, with a row of paper windows embedded in the wall on the left side of the hall, and the paper windows are large enough to hold up. Cen Wen speculated that if it were daytime, the hall would be very well lit. Eighteen tall and stout mahogany trees are arranged in a neat arrangement to support the entire hall, and the mahogany is not made of luxurious golden silk nanmu lacquer, but is made of unpretentious pine lacquer. A faint, vague pine scent permeated the entire hall, making people feel refreshed and spirited. At the top of the hall is a vermilion lacquer Huanghuali desk, and a couplet hangs on the wall behind the desk:

"You can't stand the poor, you can't stand the quality;

I can't bear it, I can't do anything. ”

On both sides of the desk, there are more than a dozen sandalwood high-backed chairs for guests. The roof of the hall is clearly decorated with various color paintings. The ground is paved with nearly 100 pieces of burnt bricks that are two feet square, the surface of these bricks is light black, oily and bright, not astringent and not slippery, it should be the "Su brick" of Jiangnan special, the soil quality in Danyang is good, the burning is fine, the Su brick is famous all over the world for "knocking on the sound, breaking it without holes".

The whole hall is spacious and elegant, and the smell of books is very heavy, which shows that Feng Deyi is a highly respected and well-educated person.

Feng Deyi sat on the Huanghuali high-backed chair behind the desk, and said to Cen Wenwen with a smile: "Tonight, three big people will come to my mansion, you should watch carefully." When they leave, you tell me what you see. ”

"Yes." Cen Wenwen stood up and bowed.

After that, under the leadership of the people of the Feng Mansion, he entered the hut next to the hall.

After a while, a young man walked into the hall in a hurry, the young man was twenty-six or seven years old, dignified, burly, wearing a big red first-class prince's suit, the peculiar thing was the embroidered pattern on the prince's suit, it was a four-clawed golden dragon that only the prince of the Tang Dynasty could embroider.

Seeing the young man, Feng Deyi stood up, bowed and said, "Old minister Feng Deyi pays a visit to His Royal Highness King Qin." ”

The young man picked up Feng Deyi and said, "Feng Xiang, you and I don't have to be like this." ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, seemed to be very familiar with Feng Deyi's hall, so he casually moved a high-backed sandalwood chair, sat opposite Feng Deyi at the desk, and said unusually relaxed: "Feng Xiang, I fell out with my eldest brother again, I hope you can support me as always!" ”

Feng Deyi replied: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, rest assured, the old ministers will always support the King of Qin." ”

"That's good." Li Shimin, the king of Qin, said. "Thy kindness is in the hearts of the people. In the court, the left servant shot Pei Lin is the prince's diehard, if you don't defend it in many ways, the people of the world are alone, how can you fight with them for so long? ”

Feng Deyi was very moved and said, "Your Highness, don't say it. The old minister has not done enough, the old minister is optimistic about His Highness, he was optimistic in the past, he is optimistic now, and he will be optimistic in the future, and the old minister will always support His Highness. The old minister is old, and there are not many people who can help His Highness. The road, you still need Your Highness to walk in person, the pain in Your Highness's heart, the old minister knows best. The prince has done too much, and His Majesty is too partial to the prince. ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, stretched out his hands, held Feng Deyi's hand tightly and said: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers." The kindness of the prime minister will always be remembered by the people. ”

Soon, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who had received Feng Deyi's promised support, left Feng Deyi's mansion satisfied.

After a stick of incense, another middle-aged man walked into the hall gently, the middle-aged man was thirty-two or three years old, with a white face, a thin figure, a noble temperament, wearing a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe, and his instrument was extraordinary.

Feng Deyi stood up again and saluted: "Old minister Feng Deyi pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly dissuaded: "Feng Xiang, there is no need to be like this. Everyone else knows that Pei Lin is my most loyal supporter, but in fact, in my heart, I trust you the most. You are good to Lonely, Lonely's heart is the clearest. ”

The prince seemed to be no stranger to Feng Deyi's hall, put down the shelf that had been held, and sat on the opposite side of Feng Deyi's desk casually.

The crown prince asked: "Now that Lone has fallen out with Lone's unruly brother, Feng Xiang, look, what should I do when I come down?" ”

Feng Deyi muttered: "The only thing that can be done at present is to rely on each means to fight the winner, and there is no room for turnaround, Your Highness." ”

The crown prince thought and said, "Well, that's all there is to it." ”

Feng Deyi leaned closer to the crown prince Jiancheng and said in a low voice: "King Qin came just now. ”

The crown prince seemed to have known about it for a long time, and said without being surprised at all: "What is he doing here?" ”

Feng Deyi replied respectfully: "He asked me to support him." ”

"Yes." Prince Jiancheng said: "This is the only reason. Feng Xiang, the old way, supports him openly and secretly supports Lonely. Lone still trusts you very much. ”

Feng Deyi stood up, bowed and said, "Don't worry, the prince is the most supportive of the prince." ”

Prince Jiancheng said: "Militarily, he Li Shimin has good ability, but when it comes to power and strategy, how can he be our opponent?" ”

Feng Deyi flattered: "What the prince said is extremely true. ”

Prince Jiancheng and Feng Deyi looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

Soon after, the crown prince also left.

After another stick of incense, an old man with white hair and about forty-eight or nine years old walked into Feng Deyi's hall.

The old man was burly, with a white face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wearing a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe, with a noble temperament and majestic generosity.

Seeing the old man, Feng Deyi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The old minister Feng Deyi pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

The old man waved his hand casually and said, "Deyi, there is no need to salute." I have come tonight to discuss something with you. ”

Feng Deyi replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Emperor Li Yuan asked, "Right now, my two sons, the crown prince and the king of Qin, have fallen out again. You are the most fair person and do things, neither favoring the prince nor the king of Qin, and you are the most trusted by me. Tell me, what should I do? ”

Feng Deyi said: "This is Your Majesty's family matter, and it is inconvenient for the old minister to speak. If you are not careful, you will drag down your children and grandchildren. ”

Li Yuan smiled: "Deyi is still so sincere. Involving children and grandchildren, other ministers would not dare to say this to me. Today, if you say it, I will listen to it. I promise that no one else will know. ”

Feng Deyi looked at the guards who protected Li Yuan, and they all left the hall, so he whispered to Emperor Li Yuan: "The King of Qin has his own merits, and he is under the crown prince, and he is not convinced for a long time. If he is not made the crown prince sooner, measures must be taken as soon as possible. ”

Li Yuan groaned. Soon left Feng Deyi's mansion.

After Li Yuan left, Cen Wenwen walked out of the hut, came to the hall, bowed to Feng Deyi and said, "Feng Xiang, amazing." Other officials in this imperial capital were afraid of being involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between the crown prince and the king of Qin, and the clan would be wiped out, but only the prime minister not only took the initiative to participate, but was also led by the three forces of His Majesty, the crown prince, and the king of Qin as henchmen. Admire, admire, admire. ”

Feng Deyi smiled and asked, "Do you see this?" ”

Cen Wenwen replied: "Feng Xiang should support the prince, but I don't understand, why did Feng Xiang do this?" ”

Feng Deyi was pleasantly surprised and asked, "How did you see it?" ”

Cen Wenwen replied: "The others are all false, only the words of His Majesty are the most useful. It sounds like the crown prince and the king of Qin are not offended, in fact, now His Majesty will never make the king of Qin the crown prince, according to what the prime minister said, the only thing His Majesty should do is to get rid of the king of Qin. ”

Feng Deyi nodded approvingly and asked, "Then do you think Your Majesty will listen?" Will it get rid of King Qin? ”

Cen Wenwen replied, "Your Majesty is an excellent emperor who can deal with all kinds of threats calmly and rationally. But Your Majesty is also a father who attaches great importance to the remaining trace of warmth, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, get rid of King Qin, this decision, Your Majesty may be difficult to make, but with the words of the prime minister, Your Majesty will definitely support the prince more and suppress King Qin. The crown prince is orthodox and a prince, in order to maintain the status of the crown prince, from a political point of view, King Qin is a huge threat. Your Majesty will definitely do his best to assist the crown prince and suppress the king of Qin. ”
