He also said that Tao Baoyi, when the palace was discussed, he openly violated Feng Jizheng's wishes, and did not hesitate to agree with the queen's auxiliary government and supervision of the country, which was naturally quite popular with Feng Dang, and even Du Yanzhi also questioned his decision, and on the way to leave the palace, he dragged Tao Baoyi to his house to drink.

"Tao Gong has always been a favorite of the Middle Palace, and the saint is credulous and full of worries, why is it that today he compromised and retreated at such a critical time?"

"Until now, I am indeed still worried about the authoritarian power of my relatives to mislead the country, but I also see through it, Feng Shilang's intentions are not selfless, this generation on the one hand agrees with the reform, but because of the damage to the interests of relatives, cover up and conniv, and even give advice, bribe officials, and turn a blind eye to the relatives and relatives to conceal the property of the Tian house, He Patrol and others found the evidence, severely punished the officials who bent the law and the Feng family, but Feng Shilang pretended to kill his relatives in righteousness, seemingly selfless, but in fact it was for self-preservation, he secretly, more and more hated the back line, just because the back line damaged his interests, Hindering its strength, how can such a shameless person be qualified to supervise the country and assist the government? At least the queen will unswervingly implement the new policy, so that the monarch will be free from worries, and the country will be in danger, and we should not pay attention to the overall situation, and we must not fight inwardly, otherwise it will lead to defeat, and the Turks will win a chance to breathe, so that the war will be unequal for a long time, and the people will suffer from the chaos, and they will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and even cause the society to perish. ”

"Gong Feng will never be like this!" Du gradually said anxiously: "Even if you and I are inevitably friends, because the new policy will damage our personal interests, we will try our best to hide the ...... of the house."

"So have they ever been able to bribe/officials to cover up and condone this crime?" Tao Baoyi said coldly: "If it weren't for Feng Shilang's instructions, how could those assassins and county orders dare to destroy their future in violation of the law?" ”

Seeing that Du gradually knew that he had not yet woken up, Tao Baoyi woke up again: "Could it be that Du Gong really believes Feng Shilang's words, thinking that it is really just the housekeeper at home accepting bribes from relatives, stealing his private seals and usurping letters, and bribing local officials to bend the law?" Just a slave and maid, dare to cover the sky with one hand? Okay, these are just speculations, and I have no solid evidence, but how could Duke Du not know that Feng Shilang actually had a close relationship with that Xu Xiuneng in order to consolidate his strength? ”

The more he spoke, the more indignant he became: "Who is Xu Xiuneng?" In order to seek power, regardless of the suffering of the people, the kiln order, heavy taxes, the construction of other palaces, when Wei was in power, and other false policies were all due to such treacherous advice, and even forced the Marquis of Hengyang, and killed the Ganzhou Shiyong to flatter the Turks, causing the monarch to cut off his arm and let the Turkic army break through Ganzhou and enter Gyeonggi, all of which were behind this treacherous villain who instigated the sword in the bright face, and the saint was wise, although Xu Xiuneng was in Luzhou that day, seeing that the queen mother had taken the lead in surrendering, since his accession to the throne, the saint did not use such a sinister villain, Feng Shilang was good, and kept saying that he was for the country and the people, but he is in the same league with this traitor. ”

Because of her anger, Tao Baoyi even threw all the cups on the case: "Today's palace discussion, Feng Shilang asked the ministers to assist the government, how shrewd is this abacus?" In the political hall, Xie and Wei are still in the phase, although the prince will definitely support the prince and the queen, Xue Xuanzhi, the Duke of Wenzhen, has passed away, and the later department has lost an arm, and the chance of victory is very small, if Feng Shilang secretly supports the Queen Mother's party, how can the reform be implemented smoothly? In the future, when the saint returned to the court, the culprit was also the prince and the queen, and the queen mother such as Xie and Wei, Feng Shilang was able to retreat with his whole body, and his purpose was clearly to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman! ”

Seeing that Tao Baoyi's face was full of anger, it was clear that he had believed that Feng Gong was hiding a traitor, so he had to swallow back those words of defense that he was also half-convinced, and only sighed: "But the reason why Tao Gong was able to get the position of squire, and the position and the central minister all depend on Feng Gong's recommendation, and today's saint is clearly determined to let the queen assist the government, and Tao Gong seconded it, I am afraid that it will cause criticism, and misunderstand Tao Gong's will to welcome the holy will, regardless of Feng Gong's kindness." ”

"It's inevitable." Tao Baoyi sneered: "But why am I afraid of these slanders? And even if you are riddled with criticism, should you give up your loyalty and righteousness?! Now only the queen can relieve the monarchy from worrying about the future and benefit the battle situation ahead, not to mention the damage to his reputation, even if Tao's life is not guaranteed, he can't sit idly by and watch the traitors and mislead the country, and lose the monarch's father's country. ”

Du was stunned, and only after half a sound did he say ashamedly: "Tao Gong is righteous, compared with Gong, Du is really embarrassed." ”

——

Besides, Feng Jizheng naturally hated the "ungrateful" Tao Baoyi to grit his teeth, and Xu Xiuneng, who was not qualified to participate in the palace discussion, had already come to Feng Shilang's Mansion to wait for news, and at this time, the two of them were also talking.

"I should have really adopted the advice of the prince, I shouldn't have trusted Tao Baoyi, a villain who tends to be profitable, if there is no recommendation from me, how can he join the Zhongshu Province?" Feng Jizheng's face was pale, and he couldn't ease his stomach in the slightest after three glasses of wine in a row.

Lu died in the old age, and Wei Yuanping was already vacated in the middle book, so of course the position of Zhongshu Shilang could not be vacant for a long time, Feng Jizheng in order to monopolize the power in the province, he must vigorously sponsor the party, he was optimistic about Xu Xiuneng at first, but He Ye ignored it, and then he turned his attention to Tao Baoyi, who was also an old friend.

But Xu Xiuneng's suggestion was Du Jianzhi, because he had already seen that Tao Baoyi was not easy to control, but Du gradually knew that because of Feng Jizheng's life-saving and knowing grace, although there were still differences with Feng Jizheng's true thoughts, it was easier to persuade and control.

However, Du gradually knows that he is now serving in the Ministry of Rites, and Feng Jizheng heard from Ren Zhi's mouth that the queen has regained the unfavorable news of the Holy Grace, so he must keep a chess piece in the Ministry of Rites that can justifiably admonish the emperor and not favor the middle palace, and Du gradually knows that once transferred, the Ministry of Officials is actually controlled by the queen's uncle Liu Xinyi, and then how easy is it to install party henchmen?

It was precisely because of this consideration that Feng Jizheng finally decided to recommend Tao Baoyi, but at that time, he never thought that after this in-law was promoted by him, not only did he refuse to obey his instructions, but he also excluded and suppressed the party members left by Xue Xuanzhi, and even simply betrayed it completely.

How could you not let Feng Jizheng regret his mistakes and be filled with righteous indignation?

Xu Xiu could see the mastermind's situation, so he no longer fell into the ground, continued to show his foresight, and stabbed a knife in Feng Jizheng's chest again, so he persuaded him: "Cultivating and hearing Feng Gong's dictation, it is clear that the saint has made a decision, even if Tao Shilang and Feng Gong work together today, it will not help, why should Feng Gong blame himself for his mistakes with conclusive things?" ”

Feng Jizheng sighed: "Isn't that the case? I never imagined that the Holy Lord would decide to drive the expedition in person and not make arrangements as soon as possible, which shows that the inner court is very important, and the queen is more likely to grasp the opportunity than our courtiers by virtue of the convenience of the bed. ”

couldn't help complaining: "Duan Jieyu lost at a young age, not as old as the queen, when she was old, she had obviously opened the situation, but she was easily saved by the queen, she has always been cautious, but she is too cautious, when she should be bold, it is inevitable to look forward and backward." ”

Even more complaining is Lu Ruan, the father of Jiacheng: "My brother-in-law, in addition to the funeral, the saint actually summoned him in person and asked him what he wanted, but this nerd chose the Guozijian, although the Guozijian sacrificial wine is clear, the saint attaches great importance to the selection of talents, and in the future, the brother-in-law's protégé will enter the office, it is not impossible to get the right to win, but it will always take many years, how to compare it to the present, the important positions in the three provinces are very important!" ”

Xu Xiuneng was noncommittal.

He knew Feng Jizheng's small abacus at the beginning, if he really cared about Lu Ruan's entry into the important position in the three provinces, he would have lobbied and instigated it through Mrs. Feng's mouth, and Lu Ruan would not go to ask for the position of the country's priest wine, but Feng Jizheng thought at first that if Lu Ruan was in a high position, where would Duan Jieyu in the palace still need to rely on his uncle, even if Duan Jieyu replaced the queen in the future, it would not be him Feng Jizheng, so he asked his sister-in-law if he wanted to inherit his father's will and teach and educate people, so he did not dissuade him, and was happy to see it.

At this time, I knew that the important positions in the three provinces were very important, and I regretted it?

But it's not like there's no way to make amends.

Xu Xiuneng suggested: "The saint's personal conquest is imminent, the loyal ministers and virtuous should share the worries for the saint, although it is admirable for Doctor Lu to inherit his father's will and not involve power, but the matter is prioritized, Feng Gongda can persuade Doctor Lu to show the saint that he is worried about the country, with the saint's affection for Lu Gong, why should Doctor Lu worry about the important position?" ”

followed by a low voice: "Although the queen's auxiliary government seems to be unfavorable to Duke Feng, but the Son of Heaven has left Beijing, how can the Queen Mother give up this excellent opportunity?" Between the two palaces, the battle will inevitably worsen, Feng Gong secretly helps the Queen Mother, the queen will be at a disadvantage, and when the time comes, the Holy Lord will return to Beijing, how can he allow the Chang'an Palace to take power again? ! Feng Gong helped the saint to get rid of the queen mother, why should he be weaker than the old ministers of the Qiandi Palace? ”

At this time, if Lu Ruan can be pulled into the water, Feng and Lu will advance and retreat together, there will be a better chance of winning the Holy Favor, if the queen is poisoned by the queen mother, the bond between the Son of Heaven and Jing Zhaoliu will be lost, and the Feng family will replace Jing Zhaoliu, it will be a matter of time.

In the battle of the harem, Feng Jizheng can't intervene for the time being, but above the court, if he wants to form a confrontation with the descendants, he must rely on Lu Ruan's help.

Feng Jizheng listened to this strategy, felt that it was feasible, and went to Lu Di the next day, but he did not directly interview Lu Ruan, he knew his sister-in-law's indecisive temperament, only his sister could force him to make a decision, at this time, he could not wait for his brother-in-law to hesitate, the Son of Heaven was about to go on the expedition, and before the Son of Heaven left Beijing, the brother-in-law could fight for the opportunity to transfer to the center.

Mrs. Feng wanted to plan for her daughter because of Jiacheng's entry into the palace, and she had always been friendly and friendly with her younger brother.

Dr. Lu, who has always been obedient to his wife, hesitated this time: "I have just recovered, because the Holy Lord called me to ask, and I kept saying that I was willing to inherit my father's will, I originally wanted to enter the country to be a doctor, but I didn't expect the Holy Lord to confer the important position of sacrificial wine, so generous, how can I be embarrassed, I have not fulfilled my duties, and I asked to join the center?" In addition, my ability to teach and educate people is acceptable, and I am absolutely incapable of making decisions on important military and political affairs. ”

Mrs. Feng hated that iron could not become steel, but at this time, she could only suppress her anger, and persuade her younger brother to teach that, what to worry about the country, and then persuade her husband to nod and agree, Mrs. Feng was relieved, and she had no leisure to pour wine and cloth here, and turned around to teach her grandson, she had a lot of contempt for her daughter-in-law, if it wasn't for her father-in-law's habit of the eldest son, she would never allow such a daughter-in-law to enter the door, and now that she has the eldest grandson, she can't let the daughter-in-law from a small family discipline the eldest grandson!
