Chapter 856: Follow-up (2)
The king of Fenyang County, who has two Chinese New Year's Eve today, is the nephew of the king of Linjiang.
In terms of seniority, the Son of Heaven Sheng Hong has to call him a cousin.
The king of Fenyang County is a well-known king of the county in the clan. The daily cockfight and horse race are frequent visitors in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. King Linjiang never put this nephew in his eyes. The king of Jingjiang did not think that the king of Fenyang was his opponent.
Unexpectedly, the clan relatives who were eligible to vote were secretly collected by the Son of Heaven, and they all voted for the king of Fenyang County.
Losing to the King of Fenyang County is undoubtedly the biggest humiliation in the life of King Jingjiang! It is an indescribable shame for the king of Linjiang!
King Linjiang couldn't swallow this sullen breath, and said with a smile on the spot: "The position of the Zongren Mansion is the one where the virtuous and capable people live. Brother Huainan Wang has been a Zongzheng for more than ten years, worrying too much and working to death. The younger brother of the king of Hejian was assassinated and lost his life. The king of Fenyang County was elected as the Zongzheng today, and he must remember to be cautious when entering and leaving the Zongren Mansion in the future. ”
The king of Fenyang, who gave birth to a good skin, is also a well-known beautiful man in the clan. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "What Uncle Linjiang Wang said is exactly what the little nephew is worried about. The little nephew then went to the Yiqing Palace to ask to see the emperor and asked the emperor to give some guards to the little nephew. ”
King Linjiang sneered, and his cold gaze swept over the clan relatives who voted for the king of Fenyang County one by one. Then, he left with the ugly King Jingjiang.
The king of Fenyang County was calm on the surface, but in fact, his back was already dripping with cold sweat.
After entering the Hall of Empathy, the king of Fenyang immediately knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you to the emperor, for making me Zongzheng." In the future, I will do my best to be on an errand and listen to the emperor's orders. ”
The Son of Heaven walked over, personally picked up the grateful King of Fenyang, and smiled kindly: "The King of the County get up quickly." ”
The king of Fenyang was flattered and stood up.
It is not easy to seize the position of Zongzheng in the Zongren Mansion. After Sheng Hong ascended the throne, he began to secretly lay out. Maybe with heavy profits, or maybe with the future, he secretly instigated many royal relatives.
The identity of the Son of Heaven is obviously heavier than that of the Queen Mother. Among the clansmen, their eyes were bright, and they turned against each other. Because of this, there is today's good show.
……
After showing his loyalty, the king of Fenyang County boldly asked: "I have a question in my heart, and I don't vomit or be unhappy. If there is anything abrupt and reckless, I implore the emperor not to blame. ”
Sheng Hong obviously guessed what the king of Fenyang wanted to ask, and said with a casual smile: "Just ask whatever you want." ”
The king of Fenyang County coughed: "I want to ask the emperor, there are seven or eight people in the clan who are qualified to compete for the sect. Why did the emperor choose me? ”
To put it mildly, except for one face that he can see, the rest of the commission is really not up to it. If you don't do it, you can't do it. He was born as a county king, and there seemed to be nothing else to do except wander and play.
He also thought that he would be an idle and rich prince for the rest of his life.
One night half a year ago, the Son of Heaven's close attendant Wei Gonggong quietly went to the county king's mansion. didn't make much of a detour, only said: "The emperor intends to make the county king the position of the Zongren Mansion, I don't know what the county king wants?" ”
Does this need to be asked?
As a member of the royal family, he can be the Zongzheng, take charge of the Zongren Mansion, and be in charge of thousands of royal people. Who can not be tempted by the glory of such authority?
Even if he is a puppet like the King of the River, he has a hundred wishes and a thousand wishes.
He answered immediately.
Until this moment, he still felt fluttering and disbelieving. The beautiful thing he dreamed of really fell on his head!
A smile flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes, and his tone was brisk: "Because the county king is the most handsome, I look the most pleasing to the eye." ”
King of Fenyang: "......"
The King of Fenyang looked at the handsome and peerless young man with a shocked expression, and many shocking thoughts instantly passed through his mind. Such as the unspeakable love of no~lun described in the prevalent words in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion......
Sheng Hong laughed silently: "I was joking just now, don't take it seriously!" ”
The king of Fenyang County froze his mind away, squeezed out a smile and responded: "I didn't take it seriously, I didn't take it seriously, hehe." ”
Sheng Hong restrained his smile and said lightly: "The first emperor was murdered, and I can only take on a heavy responsibility. Since the day I ascended the throne, I have secretly vowed to be a virtuous son. ”
"The Zongren Mansion is in charge of the people in the royal family, and it is also an example for thousands of clans in Daqi, and it should not be reduced to a private weapon in the hands of one person. Even if it's me, it's no exception. ”
"You don't have to worry about becoming a puppet in my hands. When I choose you, I will trust you and entrust you with all the affairs of the Zongren Mansion. ”
The king of Fenyang County showed a look of surprise and excitement, and thanked Long En.
Sheng Hong's gaze swept over the slightly exaggerated and contrived face of the King of Fenyang, and he said lightly: "No matter how much you say, you won't believe it now." The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. After a long time, you will know whether what I say is true or false. ”
It's kind of like that.
Do you really have to hand over the Zongren Mansion to him!
The king of Fenyang County muttered secretly in his heart and thanked him again. Then, he dared to ask for the guards.
Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "I have already arranged this matter, you don't have to worry." ”
……
The proud king of Fenyang County retired with unrelieved doubts and left the Yiqing Palace.
On behalf of the Son of Heaven, Gonggong Wei sent the king of Fenyang County a ride, and after turning around, he laughed in a low voice: "The king of the county just stuffed a heavy purse into the slave, and asked why the emperor chose him as Zongzheng. ”
"The servant told the king the reason."
Actually, the reason is very simple.
Before Sheng Hong chose people, he ordered people to check several princes and county kings who were qualified to be Zongzheng. Everyone has some bad deeds to a greater or lesser extent.
The king of Linjiang had the vice of abusing women, and the dead king of Hejian was greedy by nature, and after becoming the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, he used his power for personal gain and often asked for bribes. King Huainan, who has been dead for a few years, is also a common occurrence of several slaves in the palace.
The king of Fenyang County was born **, but he never bullied the good people, and all the beautiful concubines were bought from the Qinglou with serious money...... What's more, there has never been a death in Fuzhong.
has its own principles and bottom line, in Sheng Hong's view, it is worthy of being called a person.
More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the descendants of the Sheng family have multiplied and grown, and there are thousands of people so far. In terms of clan alone, it is also a prosperous clan.
Zongren Mansion is upright, you can be mediocre, you can be weak, but you must not be ruthless and treat human life as nothing.
Therefore, Sheng Hong chose the king of Fenyang County.
Sheng Hong smiled: "Help him to be Zongzheng, whether he can sit in this position depends on his ability." ”
At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly ran in to report: "Your Majesty, the Zhilan girl from the Jiaofang Palace is here, and she has passed on the message of the Queen Mother, inviting the emperor to go to the Jiaofang Palace for dinner." ”
