Chapter 240: Self-recommendation

After listening to the report from the chamberlain, Emperor Xingyuan said to the eldest princess of Zhaoyang: "The imperial sister took Rui'er and Fu'er to the side hall to rest. ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang refused with a calm face: "I'm here, so let's see what kind of person this Xiao Lengshi is." ”

She understood what the royal brother meant. If Feng and Xiao were present when they were held accountable, it was obviously her complaint, and it was for her sake to avoid it.

But this time, she decided to be willful.

In the past, her favor for Miss Kou was too subtle, so that some people didn't count her as the eldest princess when they hurt Miss Kou.

Emperor Xingyuan knew that his sister was angry, and seeing that she was unwilling to avoid it, he didn't force it, so he motioned to the chamberlain to let Feng and Xiao come in.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty, and I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Jin Linwei commanded Feng Nian and Xiao Lengshi to come in one after the other, bowing respectfully.

The presence of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang made Xiao Lengshi's heart sink,

The moment he saw Miss Kou faint in public, he knew that there might be trouble. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I didn't expect that the eldest princess of Zhaoyang would stand out so much for Miss Kou.

If you want to say regret, Xiao Lengshi didn't.

The suspect who entered Jinlinwei, is it difficult to be entertained with good food and drink without torture and interrogation? It's strange that you can judge things!

"Xiao Zhen Fu Envoy." Emperor Xingyuan said lightly.

"The minister is here."

Emperor Xingyuan looked at him fixedly: "You tortured Miss Kou?" ”

Feng Nian, who was kneeling on the side, heard this, and scolded Xiao Lengshi half to death in his heart.

He was really killed by this kid!

In this case, Xiao Lengshi did not dare to deceive: "Yes." ”

Emperor Xingyuan slapped the table: "What did I say?" You are a deception. ”

As soon as the word "bully" came out, Xiao Lengshi's cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and he hurriedly explained: "After receiving the commandment, the minister treated Miss Kou with great courtesy, but in order to urge her to tell her the whereabouts of Mr. Songling, he whipped twice......"

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang sneered and asked, "What evidence do you have that Miss Kou knows the whereabouts of Mr. Songling?" ”

Xiao Lengshi was silent.

If there was evidence, he would have tortured Mr. Songling to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Songling, and he would not have knelt here to be scolded.

"There is no evidence, but you torture a little girl who has great love and a good reputation, you really carry forward the majesty of Jin Linwei."

The sarcasm in the words of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang made Emperor Xingyuan's face even more ugly: "He Zhenfu is not here, I let you temporarily take charge of Beizhen Fusi because I believe in your ability, not let you abuse torture and ruin the reputation of the imperial court." ”

"The minister is guilty." Xiao Lengshi knew in his heart that defending himself in the face of an angry emperor would only add fuel to the fire, so it was better to honestly admit guilt.

"You've disappointed me so much." Emperor Xingyuan said coldly and made a punishment for Xiao Lengshi.

Removed Xiao Lengshi from the post of envoy to the town, and the court staff outside the noon gate was thirty.

Xiao Lengshi, whose face was pale, was dragged out, and Emperor Xingyuan looked at Feng Nian, the commander of Jin Linwei.

Feng Nian's face was also good, and he couldn't see where to go, as soon as he received Emperor Xingyuan's sight, he hurriedly asked for the guilt: "The minister's recommendation is not effective, please punish Your Majesty." ”

He fell to his knees, pleaded guilty and waited for silence.

The emperor's silence was incomparably long, like a mountain overwhelming people's breath.

Feng Nian thought of Gu Changbo, thought of Pei Shilang, and thought of Xiao Lengshi, who had just been pushed out of the court staff.

He didn't have the confidence to think that if it was just a poor recommendation, it would be fine. There is an example of Gu Changbo entering the palace to accompany the emperor to drink but was killed with a cane, and the king's heart is unpredictable, who knows what the consequences will be.

I don't know how long it took, and a majestic voice finally came from above my head: "The person Feng Qing recommended this time is really not very good. Now that the chief official of the South Town Fu Division is vacant, and the North Town Fu Division is unmanned, what advice does Feng Qing have? ”

Hearing Emperor Xingyuan's question, Feng Nian's eyes darkened.

Recommending a person who is temporarily in charge of the North Town Fu Division has caused such a big trouble, and now let him continue to recommend the person who is temporarily in charge of the North Town Fu Division, not to mention, but also to recommend the South Town Fu Envoy?

Is this going to kill him?

After hesitating for a long time, Feng Nian had to speak: "Back to Your Majesty, Yan Chao, the deputy in charge of the Thousand Households, has been in the Beizhen Fusi for many years, and he is familiar with both inside and outside, and he is the right-hand man of the He Zhen Fu. The minister thinks it is more appropriate for him to temporarily take charge of the Beizhen Fusi......"

Recommending He Qingxiao's cronies to the emperor, Feng Nian didn't mention how aggrieved he was.

He is the commander of Jinlinwei, but he can't be the master of the Beizhen Fusi, and the emperor's assignment of the Beizhen Fusi is even more hirass from him. He had already had enough of this nest, so he took advantage of He Qingxiao's absence in the capital to recommend Xiao Lengshi, thinking that if Xiao Lengshi could gain a foothold in Fusi in Beizhen, he might have to move his nest when He Qingxiao came back.

However, Xiao Lengshi is not angry, if the person he recommends again is not reliable, it is purely to find trouble for himself, so he can only pinch his nose and recommend He Qingxiao.

If He Qingxiao's people don't do well, in the face of the emperor's anger, He Qingxiao will be in the way.

Emperor Xingyuan nodded slightly, and he recognized Feng Nian's proposal.

Seeing that the emperor was still looking at him with expectant eyes, Feng Nian felt bitter in his heart.

The selection of the North Town Fu Division is easy to solve, after all, it is only temporary, and the South Town Fu Division is a headache. The chief officer of the North and South Zhenfu Division under the jurisdiction of Jin Linwei is also a figure who has attracted the attention of hundreds of officials and nobles.

"Ministerβ€”"

Feng Nian was thinking about the wording of the shirk, and Kong Rui suddenly opened his mouth: "Uncle, Rui wants to recommend himself for the position of Nanzhen Fusi Zhenfu Envoy." ”

Kong Rui's opening shocked everyone in the hall.

"Riel!" The eldest princess of Zhaoyang looked incredulous.

With a background like Kong Rui, he can be an idle prince or find an errand to do. The eldest princess of Zhaoyang once asked her son what he wanted to do, and Kong Rui said that he liked Jinlin Weinan Zhenfu Si.

She thought her son was saying it casually!

"Mother listens to me." Facing the shocked gazes of his mother and the emperor's uncle, Kong Rui was very calm, "Nanzhen Fu Si is in charge of Jinlin Wei military craftsman, responsible for the development of weapons and ordnance, and I happen to be interested in this. I'm confident that I'll be able to sit in this position, so I'll ask my uncle to give Rui a chance. ”

In addition to being responsible for the military discipline and law of Jinlinwei, Nanzhen Fusi also has a major responsibility to manage military craftsmen and develop weapons.

The nephew's request, Emperor Xingyuan agreed after a little thought.

"Brother Huang!" The eldest princess of Zhaoyang was a little anxious.

Jin Linwei has a bad reputation, and she doesn't want her son to wade into this troubled water.

The more Emperor Xingyuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate: "Rui'er is older, it's time to find something to do." It just so happened that Nanzhen was vacant, and he liked it, so let him try it. Feng Qing, what do you think? ”

Feng Nian: "......" Is this necessary to put the sponsor's hat on his head?

"Master Hou is smart and calm, and he is really the best candidate for the chief officer of the Nanzhen Fu Division."

Jinlinwei belongs to the private army of the Son of Heaven, and the appointment and removal of promotion do not need to go through the ministry, and the hundred officials soon knew about the two major actions of Jinlinwei: one is that Xiao Lengshi, the chief official of the Nanzhen Fu Division, was dismissed by the court staff, and the other is that the son of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, Jing'an Hou, was the new envoy of Nanzhen.

Putting these two news together, it is inevitable that Baiguan will have a bizarre but reasonable guess: in order to prevent Miss Kou from being troubled by Jinlinwei again, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang actually let her son be Jinlinwei!
