Chapter 9 Accumulate grain and slowly become king

The convoy went all the way and entered Yangzhai City, but it did not go to the Qin Palace, but to the direction of the post office.

The postal office, commonly known as the post station, is an important part of the postal system and belongs to the name of the postal governor.

In addition to delivering letters, the various officials who passed by and the officials sent by the imperial court lived in the local postal office.

Of course, if there is no postal place, each pavilion is also a place for these people to stay, but unlike the postal office, ordinary people in the pavilion can also stay as long as they can provide a road guide, and the postal office can only be lived by officials.

As the capital of the Qin State, Yangzhai City is naturally different from ordinary places, which is not splendid, but it is also solemn and solemn, covering a large area.

Sending Wei Yun to the door of the post office, Jiang Ji had no intention of going in, and said to Wei Yun who was about to get out of the car: "Tingwei is tired all the way, so I won't bother, Tingwei is just resting, and I will leave alone." ”

"With His Royal Highness King Lao Qin to send him off, how can Yun Hede be worthy of such courtesy from His Royal Highness King Qin?"

Wei Yun was also very polite, and his tough face softened a little.

"If Tingwei is so big and can't afford it, how many people in the world can afford it?"

"Yun De is shallow and thin, His Royal Highness praises Yun and is ashamed, I don't know how many people in the world can beat Yun, not to mention far away, just say that the Fengtang with Wang Zuozhicai in the Qin State is much better than Yun. ”

Wei Yun responded very modestly, and also told Jiang Ji about a person who had some impressions in his original memory.

Although this Fengtang is somewhat famous, it is still far from Wang Zuozhicai's name, and because of the appearance problem, it is not willing, could it be that this Fengtang and Wei Yun know each other?

Jiang Ji thought in his heart, still maintaining a smile on his face: "Ting Wei Zheng is really too modest, he went back to the palace alone, and Ting Wei just rested." ”

Looking at the convoy gradually moving away, Wei Yun, who was standing on the side of the road, sighed deeply.

Originally, he saw that Jiang Ji was broad-minded, and his words also faintly revealed that he was the first choice for employing people with outstanding ability, so his heart moved to recommend his talented friend, who was depressed because of his appearance, to Jiang Ji.

But Jiang Ji didn't say anything about it, either he didn't know Fengtang and his people, or he knew it but didn't look down on it either.

Jiang Ji, who was in the palace at this time, naturally didn't know what Wei Yun was thinking, so he sent someone to call Shaofu Fengyu to ask about Fengtang.

Feng Yu didn't know why Jiang Ji suddenly cared about such a person as Qifengtang, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

"King Qiqi, Fengtang is a person in the country, filial piety to his parents since childhood, quick thinking, and outstanding literary talent. ”

"It stands to reason that such a person will be prosecuted as filial piety, but he was born poor, and he was born with an extremely scary birthmark on his face, so he was not recommended by the successive county magistrates and ministers of Xianwei County. ”

Judging people by their appearance, they will lose their sons, but although the Daewoo Empire does not have explicit regulations, but in the potential rules of officialdom, if you want to be an official, you must have a good appearance, and if you look like a thief, you will basically have no bright future.

Even the emperor candidate is the same, if Jiang Ji is ugly, then the throne has nothing to do with him.

And in the case of Fengtang, naturally no one hired him, and even becoming a junior official was a luxury, let alone realizing his ambitions. schoolgirl

"So this Fengtang does have great talents?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Ji couldn't help but think.

Wei Yun must know about the situation of this Fengtang, but he specifically mentioned it in front of me, his relationship with Fengtang is definitely not ordinary, in that case, why didn't he help?

Wei Yun was able to become a court lieutenant at the age of thirty, although he had his own talent, but without the help of the family behind him, it would be impossible.

If such a person wants to help Fengtang, it is not difficult, after all, the underlying rules are always not open-ended, and there is no precedent before.

Maybe it was because of temperament that he didn't want to use his power for personal gain, or maybe Fengtang refused Wei Yun's help.

It is also possible that Wei Yun has bad intentions and is planning something, but Jiang Ji has no intersection with him and the family behind him before, and there is no need for the family behind him to stand in line at this time, so this is unlikely.

So the most likely thing is that Fengtang is friendly with Wei Yun, and if I use Fengtang, I not only get a talent, but also gain Wei Yun's favor, which may affect the future decision of the Wei family behind him, and maybe I can also gain a reputation for meritocracy.

As for the troubles, there will definitely be some troubles, such as the criticism of some people, and the lemon essence, and the change in the perception of me by those who look down on poor children.

Measured in two phases, there are more benefits to using Fengtang.

After making a decision in his heart, Jiang Ji opened his mouth and said, "Fengjun, I bother you to go to Xianwei County in person and invite this Fengtang for Gu." ”

Hearing this, Feng Yu raised his head and looked at Jiang Ji in surprise, and then quickly reacted, although he was puzzled, he still hurriedly responded: "No!"

Jiang Ji didn't explain too much, but changed the topic: "There's no need to rush this matter, let's go and prepare for the dinner party in the evening first." ”

Wei Yun didn't agree to go to the banquet, but the banquet that had been prepared before couldn't be stopped because of this, and it just so happened that Jiang Ji also wanted to take this opportunity to get to the bottom of the others and understand the situation in Yangzhai City more clearly.

If I want to be the emperor, I first need to form a team of my own, and let them advise me on how to improve my chances of inheriting the throne.

And even if I don't succeed to the throne, judging from the performance of the other two princes in recent years, maybe there will be a good show to watch at that time, and maybe I can profit from it, and this requires a strong force as the foundation.

Shaking his head and throwing these thoughts out of his mind, what he has to do now is to "accumulate grain, slowly become king", form a team, strengthen forces, and enhance his own strength.

Even if today's son is troubled by the desire for power, he will not have a crown prince until now, why is this? And the Zongzheng Mansion and those ministers have no opinion, what is going on?

After all, the original body was just a prince, and many confidential things could not be touched, even if Jiang Ji was puzzled, he could not get an answer, so he could only temporarily suppress these doubts.

The most important thing at the moment is to find out the forces that want to kill me, and then plan how to control the Qin State in my hands, instead of just being a mascot.

Limited to the system of the Daewoo Empire, it is impossible for me to control the Qin State on the bright side, so I can only support one person to stand on the bright side, but who should I choose better?
