Chapter 33: None of them are fuel-efficient lamps
Half of the words were spoken, and there seemed to be a secret in the voice that Ling Zixu didn't know, there was no trivial matter in the court, and Ling Zixu didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't want to pull down his face and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Two days later, Feng Guifei summoned Ling Zixu, and her words were nothing more than saying that her niece was arrogant, and she hoped to take care of her, etc., the implication of Ling Zixu was already very clear, this was all here to be a lobbyist.
The concubines all spoke, Ling Zixu couldn't delay any longer, chose an auspicious day, carried a sedan chair eight times, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Kicking off the saddle and getting off the horse, the Prime Minister's family had already gone to report it, and Feng Juqing and his wife Feng Cheng personally greeted him, giving Ling Zixu enough face.
When he came to the main hall, Ling Zixu saw the salute again, met with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then sat down as the guest and the host.
Feng Xu smiled happily, and called her daughter Feng Yun from the back hall, and the son-in-law obviously meant to pick them up, and she could rest assured when she saw that their young couple was in harmony.
Feng Yun was squirming, she was still playing the drum in her heart, and she didn't know if Ling Zixu's anger had disappeared.
How can it be said that there is a father and an aunt to take her back, even if Ling Zixu is not angry, he will take her back, and this is a matter of so many people's faces.
Feng Juqing in the front hall was smiling and talking to Ling Zixu.
"Virtuous son-in-law, I didn't finish my words that day, and today you are here, I want to make it clear."
Ling Zixu arched his hand: "Father-in-law, please speak!" ”
"Well, Tu Fang is King Qi's person, do you know?" Feng Juqing was direct.
"This, the son-in-law doesn't know!"
"Yes, you have been fighting outside for a few years, where will you know about the affairs of the court, so I will explain to you the stakes clearly, so that you don't know what is going on, and you will be laughing and generous."
Ling Zixu nodded, and Feng Juqing continued.
"Now there are four forces in the court, and these four forces revolve around a theme, that is, the position of the prince, since the death of the prince, it has been five years, Your Majesty has been indecided, and the following has been impatient, and many parties are ready to move, it is really a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings!"
"Yes, the son-in-law didn't think it, I think that if you don't use the sword soldiers, the world is peaceful, and now Your Majesty is in the prime of life, making great efforts, governing martial arts, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be regarded as a prosperous age!"
Feng Juqing shook his head again and again.
"The virtuous son-in-law has not been in the court for a long time, he has just arrived, some things have not been understood, your father has passed away, and now you and I are close relatives, you have been crowned the king and led the military department, we are officials in the same dynasty, of course I have to take care of you!"
"What the father-in-law said is that the son-in-law listens to him." Ling Zixu sat upright, looking like he was being taught.
"These four forces, one of them is the King of Qi, his mother is the queen, the most powerful, and the other is the King of Lu, his mother is a family, and her strength should not be underestimated. The third is Wei Wang Siming, this person is brave and good at fighting, is a military general, and has made a lot of military achievements. In the end, the seventh prince became Wang Sixian, his mother Feng Guifei is my own sister, speaking of which, the weakest is my nephew Sixian. ”
After Feng Juqing finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.
Ling Zixu looked thoughtful and listened to Feng Juqing continue.
"Of course, there are as many as twelve sons of the emperor, and the others are all weak or unsuccessful, so don't mention it!" Feng Juqing put down the teacup.
Ling Zixu seemed to have an understanding, and said: "I understand what my father-in-law means, just say it where I can get my son-in-law!" ”
Feng Juqing smiled and shook his head: "I didn't mean that, you still didn't understand, now the undercurrent of the government and the opposition is surging, the latest statement is that you Pingnan Wang has outstanding military achievements, if anyone wins you, the chance of winning will be greater." ”
Ling Zixu smiled and shook his head.
Feng Juqing also smiled, and changed his words: "However, there is another saying that you are the biggest threat, as far as I know, those who hold this point of view, King Lu is counted as one, as for King Qi and King Wei, it seems that they also have this idea, so ......"
Therefore, King Lu recommended Tu Fang precisely to check and balance...... I? Ling Zixu seemed to hear the doorway.
"The current situation is very delicate, the position of the six provinces and six departments, the position of the six Shangshu, the competition is very fierce, your military department is what the emperor wants to give, no one can fight, the other five departments are different, all forces have to install their own people, the situation is very complicated!"
"My father-in-law is the prime minister, the master, you control the overall situation, presumably on the basis of meritocracy, focusing on the overall situation of the country!" Ling Zixu said.
"The virtuous son-in-law doesn't know my hardships, although the three provinces and six departments are all my subordinates, but now the situation is complicated, the emperor has Tong Tianyu, a former university scholar, involved in the secret, and there is a cabinet veteran Wen Shizheng, all of whom speak in front of the emperor, if you want to say me, I am also ranked behind them, and there are so many princes and princes, all of whom are not fuel-efficient lamps, and some things are beyond their power!"
"Father-in-law, don't worry, they want to unite to balance me, I'm afraid it's also in vain, Your Majesty is a holy monarch, discerning and talented, and can afford me, I will naturally do my best, be a virtuous minister, if there is something on the border, I will charge into battle, there is nothing to do at the border, I will also reorganize the military department, drill the army, in case of emergency!"
"That being said, but we must also guard against those who are jealous of the virtuous and capable, the so-called heart of harming people must not have, the heart of preventing people is indispensable, the virtuous son-in-law is auspicious, and there is the blessing of His Majesty, naturally it is a long journey, and the future is unlimited!"
"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, it's just that the court has nothing to do, once there is any turmoil, I will definitely stand with my father-in-law, with the same hatred, how can he check and balance, and what can he do?" Ling Zixu said calmly.
"Okay, with the words of the virtuous son-in-law, I am relieved, come, I have prepared a banquet, I am happy today, old man, I want to drink a few more glasses!"
Ling Zixu was let to the banquet room, Feng Cheng and Feng Yun were already waiting there, Ling Zixu had to sit with Feng Yun, Ling Zixu said some things on the scene, it was nothing more than that the princess would run over to enjoy the cleanliness, the palace is now in chaos, and she is still waiting for the princess to take care of it!
Feng Yun got off the donkey, pretending to be shy and laughing, and blamed Ling Zixu for two sentences.
So, Feng Yun was welcomed back to the palace by eight sedan chairs.
Ling Zixu didn't have time to get off the horse, and the next person came to report, and someone from the palace announced that the emperor wanted to see him, so Ling Zixu didn't stop and galloped away.
Therefore, Feng Yun, who got off the sedan chair for eight years, only saw Ling Zixu's back, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, and his face immediately changed color.
However, Dong Yirui greeted her in the courtyard, laughed, and talked about the thrilling scene that happened in the back garden since she left, although I just heard about it, but it was also said that there was a nose and eyes.
Feng Yun listened to this, and was relieved, that demon girl made such a big move, Ling Zixu lost his face, if this reached the emperor's ears, it would not be good.
