"Licheng!"

The noisy mansion finally slowly quieted down, and Jiang Feng stood at the door of the mansion, saying goodbye to the generals who slowly dispersed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The simple and lively ceremony is actually a bit out of the ordinary.

According to the current situation of concubines in this era, the vast majority of large families do not even have any rituals when taking concubines, and may even be limited to family members and relatives for a meal, while outsiders are at most purely courteous congratulations.

However, Jiang Feng didn't care much about this, for him, after all, he had to bear the lives of two women, and he felt that he should give each other a necessary courtesy, so he had today's ceremony.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, with the continuous wars and disputes, the daily etiquette of various places has shown a trend of disintegration, and the wandering and settling down of the displaced people has also made different customs and habits in various places begin to mix, so the customs and rituals in marrying wives and concubines are also different.

Heshuo and the Central Plains, the Central Plains and Jianghuai, Jianghuai and Wu Yue, Wu Yue and Jingxiang, Jingxiang and Liangchuan, thousands of miles apart, the customs and habits are different, plus a large number of Hu people, foreign races have entered, but also brought a lot of customs changes, so for people living in this troubled era, many things are not so much to worry about.

Jiang Feng himself is a person who does not pay much attention to this aspect of vulgarity, and sitting in this position, he just wants to do what he wants, as long as it is not against ethics and morality, naturally no one will accuse him of being inappropriate.

What's more, things like concubines are to a large extent a personal matter of the sovereign, for the subordinates who have always been worried about Jiang Feng's heirs, they even expected Jiang Feng to marry a wife and take concubines, give birth to heirs early, and stabilize the people's hearts, so they don't care about Jiang Feng's slightly outrageous behavior, who wants to disobey the sovereign's will in this kind of thing?

Seeing off Chen Wei, who was the last to leave, Jiang Feng covered the door and thought a little.

Chen Wei's trip to Chang'an was not too perfect, but of course there were gains.

This is originally a communication journey, and the most important thing is to gain Chang'an's understanding and pave the way for the next step of Huaiyou's actions.

Chang'an's attitude towards Huaiyou now is also a little complicated and contradictory, as Jiang Feng suddenly took down Shouzhou, making this position of Guanghun Shou defense and capture worthy of the name, Chang'an is a little entangled.

It turned out that the reason why he gave the name of Shouzhou to Jiang Feng was that he felt that Jiang Feng did not have the strength to take Shouzhou at once, and if he didn't get it right, he would fall into a quagmire in the battle for Shouzhou, but he never thought that Jiang Feng would take Shouzhou with lightning speed, and unify Huaiyou in one fell swoop.

For Chang'an, any powerful feudal lord is not in line with its interests, and what they hope to see is a situation of balanced strength and mutual containment, so that Chang'an, which occupies the advantage of Zhengshuo, can easily turn over the clouds and rain.

Although Jiangfeng is still a certain distance from the feudal lords of Huaibei, Nanyang, Wu, and Yue, and may even be a little worse than the three towns of Heshuo, there is no doubt that Huaiyou already has the prototype of a strong feudal domain, which can be compared with the feudal lords of Ehuang, Zhennan, and Xiangyang.

Such a new feudal lord, the enemy must be something that Chang'an does not want to see, especially Huaiyou is very respectful to Chang'an, and even accepted Chang'an's candidate to serve as the assassin and chief historian in Gwangju.

This is almost a precedent, at least since the late Tang Dynasty, the Guanzhong Imperial Court has never had a precedent of sending officials to serve as a landlord, even if Gwangju is a small state that is not worth mentioning, but after all, this is a state, and the nature is different.

In this case, the expansion of Huaiyou's strength also makes Guanzhong have a long face, and a rising new feudal lord can accept the arrangement of the imperial court with low eyebrows, why can't you other feudal lords do it?

Based on this situation, although the imperial court did not agree to Chen Wei's hope that the imperial court would grant Jiang Feng the right observer and disposal envoy, it gave Jiang Feng a position of concurrently Huai You's propaganda envoy.

This is exactly what Jiang Feng hopes to see the most.

He doesn't care whether he is a defensive envoy or an observer and disposal envoy, the key lies in the word Huai You.

Huaiyou is not only limited to the three states of Guanghushou, Huaiyou even includes Luzhou, Haozhou, Hezhou, Shuzhou, Qizhou, Huangzhou, the imperial court gave him the title of Huaiyou's envoy, which means that he can intervene in all Huaiyou's places.

As for the fact that the Xuanfu envoy is generally temporary, it doesn't matter if it is the nature of pacification after the war, what Jiang Feng needs is this title, with this name, it makes sense for him to intervene in Luhao and Sanzhou in Wudi, and it is also famous for ordering Shuzhou to surrender.

Jiang Feng even felt that he was afraid that his position as the Huaiyou Xuanfu envoy would make Ehuang feel very uncomfortable, and the so-called name was not right, but with the title of this Huaiyou Xuanfu envoy, even if he really interfered in Qihuang Erzhou in the future, it would be difficult for Ehuang to gain the upper hand in the name of righteousness.

Of course, now Jiang Feng has no intention of making a fuss about Qi and Huang Erzhou, and can bite off a large piece of meat from the war between the monarchs and ministers of Wu, that is Jiang Feng's greatest wish, Luhao and Sanzhou, as well as Chuzhou, and now Shuzhou, which belongs to the concubine unknown, once this large piece of land is included in his hands, then Huaiyou really has a strong vassal posture.

Just the name of this Huaiyou Xuanfu envoy, Jiang Feng felt that Chen Wei's trip to Chang'an was worth it.

Chen Wei has been on this trip for such a long time, naturally it will not be as simple as asking for a Huaiyou Xuanfu envoy for Jiang Feng, everyone knows that this is a famous righteousness, and to make this famous righteousness become a substantial and valuable thing, it still depends on Huaiyou's own strength.

Imploring the imperial court to agree to the Huaiyou Kaizhou test was the most important task of Chen Wei's trip to Chang'an, and after some negotiations, the imperial court finally agreed to Huaiyou's request.

In Chang'an's view, this is a manifestation of Huaiyou's sincerity to Chang'an.

After the state test, it means the provincial test, and the provincial test can only be held by the imperial court, so the scholars after the Huaiyou state test will naturally have to participate in the provincial test.

If the imperial court holds a provincial examination, then the scholars who have been recognized by the imperial court can be arranged by the imperial court to return to Huaiyou to serve, which is simply a good thing.

In the future, the imperial court can implement this strategy to other feudal lords in this way, and continuously bring scholars from all over the country into the court to proclaim the blessings and then distribute them back to the localities, so that they can be benevolent, even if only some of these scholars can remember the kindness of the court after they return, it is worth it.

Besides, the imperial court can also open the state test in Guanzhong, or even on a larger scale, and wait until a large number of scholars after the Guanzhong state test enter the provincial test, and then send these scholars to places such as Huaiyou in a steady stream.

The relatives of these scholars' families are all in Guanzhong, and they are naturally no better than those foreign scholars, and their loyalty to the imperial court is self-evident, so it can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

Based on the sincerity shown by Huaiyou, the imperial court finally agreed to grant Jiang Feng the position of Huaiyou Xuanfu Envoy, and also agreed that Chen Wei would recruit scholars in Guanzhong in the name of Guanghushou Defense and Capture Embassy, and select him as the official of the Defense and Capture Embassy.

It's just that Chen Wei's recruitment activities in Guanzhong are very large-scale, far exceeding the officials needed for a defense and capture envoy and Xuanfu envoy, but no one cares about this, after all, Jiang Feng is the emperor of the soil in Huaiyou, and how to arrange these scholars in Huaiyou is also up to Jiang Feng.

It is estimated that more than 50 scholars and officials will be recruited during Chen Wei's trip to Chang'an, and these people will come to Huaiyou one after another.

Of course, most of these scholars are some unambitious side branches or Shu scholars, and there are not many who really belong to the gentry of the Guanzhong clan, and many of them have worked as low-level officials at the local county and township level in Guanzhong.

After getting Chen Wei's promise, these people also came to Huaiyou with a half-believing attitude, for them, the opportunity in Guanzhong is too few, and it is often rare to break the head and get a chance, especially those scholars from the Shu clan, if they want to break through, it is even more unobtainable.

Chen Wei's trip to Chang'an achieved very good results, which made Jiang Feng think a little more highly of Chen Wei's ability.

Jiang Feng valued Chen Wei before because Chen Wei was from a local clan in Huzhou, but now it seems that he has served as a county magistrate in Gushi for many years, and Chen Wei himself is also a scholar who was selected by the state examination, coupled with the background of the gentry and prominent family behind him, so that he has talents that others do not have.

Closing the door, Jiang Feng slowly walked back to the courtyard.

Chen Wei has become more and more detached from the limitations of the Chen family, and thinks more about himself as the chief historian of Huaiyou, which is a good thing.

From Chen Wei's point of view, he should be able to see that Huaiyou's prospects are becoming more and more promising.

With the civil strife in Wudi, the expansion of Huaiyou in Wu is inevitable, once Luhao and Chu Sizhou are taken, Huaiyou will become a strong vassal in Jiangnan that can be compared with Yue, and the inclusion of Luhao and Chu will also make the first group of gentry to follow themselves get greater development opportunities.

Luhao and Chu four states of fertile land, densely populated, and not exhausted ant thieves, a little rectification can become the future of the core hinterland of Huaiyou, relying on this large land of fish and rice, Huaiyou can look north to Huaibei, west to seek Huang, at that time, is the real from the dragon minister.

Chen Wei is a smart person, so now the Chen family will behave more and more cooperatively, and even affect the local clans such as Huang and Tan, Chen Wei is not even resistant to his own arrangement to recruit talents from Guanzhong, and he is not worried that this will affect the future development space of the local gentlemen, from this point it can be seen that Chen Wei's vision is far beyond these other local gentlemen.

Jiang Feng will never hesitate to reward smart people, as long as he can serve himself, Chen Wei is like this, and Wang Miao is also the same.
