Hearing this, the entire Xuanzheng Hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Feng Quji, their eyes flashing.

Such a great achievement will definitely be rewarded.

But what to reward is a big question.

Money and fiefdoms are just enough, if you become an official in the court, it will inevitably change the current power structure.

Referring to this problem, Emperor Qianwu also had a headache.

In terms of money, I'm afraid that I don't have as much money as Li Changfeng, and neither the current treasury nor his internal funds can come up with much money.

If you want to be an official, with Li Changfeng's lazy temperament, I am afraid that he will refuse on the spot, and if he doesn't get it right, he will not be able to get off the stage.

If you want to talk about fiefdom, he doesn't care about this, he is willing to give it anywhere except the capital, but he is afraid that Li Changfeng will take the opportunity to say that he wants to return to Baishi City.

In fact, he had already thought about letting Li Changfeng go to the Ministry of Industry, but how to convince was a problem.

He thought so in his heart, and said as usual: "No, Feng Aiqing, what is your opinion?" ”

Feng Quji immediately replied: "When you enter the court as an official, you will contribute to my great work." ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Which official position does Feng Aiqing think is suitable?" ”

Feng Qujian shook his head and said, "Wei Chen doesn't know much about His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, so it's not good to speak presumptuously!" ”

Emperor Qianwu secretly scolded the old fox, and then looked at the other princes and courtiers: "Which official position do you think is suitable for the Nine Emperors?" ”

After the princes and ministers were silent for a moment, someone spoke one after another.

"It's better to go to Honglu Temple first."

"The Ministry of Rites is also a good place to go."

"It's better to go to the Hanlin Academy."

……

Hearing what everyone said, Emperor Qianwu's face gradually became gloomy.

These yamen, which seem to be lofty, actually have no real power, nor do they involve the foundation of the national economy and people's livelihood.

If Li Changfeng went here, how could he give full play to his talent?

The eldest prince, who had been secretly observing Emperor Qianwu's expression, moved in his heart, and arched his hand: "Father, the sons think that what the ministers said is inappropriate!" ”

"Oh?" Emperor Qianwu suddenly became interested, and asked curiously, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

The eldest prince looked upright, and said impassionedly: "The flood in Shangzhou is enough to prove the talent of the Nine Emperor Brothers, wouldn't it be a waste of talent to go to these yamen?" Erchen thinks it is the most suitable to go to the Ministry of Industry! ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded secretly in his heart, just in line with him.

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the second prince, Li Shou, and then disappeared.

The Ministry of Industry is his sphere of influence, so he naturally doesn't want to be intervened by Li Changfeng, but at this time, he can't object, so he can only remain silent.

However, the courtiers who supported him objected one after another, and installed Li Changfeng under the command of the other two princes.

For a time, the court was arguing.

Emperor Qianwu watched coldly, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

After a while, Uncle Murong Changkong said: "There is no point in arguing about this now, it is better to wait for His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes to come back and ask him what he means." ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded: "It's okay." ”

He was about to disperse, Feng Quji said again: "Your Majesty, folklore says that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes performed the technique of moving mountains, and it is also said that it is a divine thunder descended from the sky, this statement is too ridiculous, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes did it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Xuanzheng Hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at Emperor Qianwu with blazing eyes.

They were also curious about how Li Changfeng had done such a miraculous feat.

Especially Gu Tiancheng, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, scratched his ears and cheeks with curiosity, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, if the Ministry of Industry masters such methods, it will definitely be able to make greater contributions to the great Qianjiang and Shansheji!" ”

Emperor Qianwu naturally would not easily reveal the matter of gunpowder, and said directly: "This matter will not be discussed for the time being. ”

Without waiting for the ministers to say anything more, he got up and waved: "Retreat." ”

The princes and ministers had no choice but to retreat.

It's just that they are even more curious in their hearts, what is it that makes Emperor Qianwu avoid talking about it all the time?

The second prince, Li Shou, looked at the back of Emperor Qianwu leaving, his heart moved, and after leaving the Xuanzheng Palace, he did not leave the palace, but went to Chuxiu Palace to meet his mother Lin Guifei.

Concubine Lin is younger than Empress Murong, and her appearance is also superior, especially good at serving people, and she is deeply favored by Emperor Qianwu, and her status in the palace is second only to Empress Murong.

Seeing Li Shou coming, Lin Guifei was very happy: "Shou'er, you are here!" ”

Li Shou scrupulously abided by etiquette, bowed down and bowed: "The son of the minister to see the mother concubine, the mother concubine is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Lin Guifei smiled: "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so polite, get up quickly." ”

With that, Concubine Lin helped Li Shou up.

Li Shou looked left and right, and saw that there were two maids present, so he said, "Erchen has something to say to the concubine, let them go down first." ”

Although Concubine Lin was surprised that she still had to avoid her personal maid, she still nodded and said, "You guys go down." ”

The two maids bowed and retreated, and Li Shou couldn't wait to say: "Mother, the princess needs the help of the mother!" ”

Lin Guifei didn't agree, and wondered: "What's the matter?" Let's hear about it. ”

Li Shou said solemnly: "The Nine Emperor Brothers ...... return to Beijing."

Next, Li Shou told Li Changfeng in detail about what happened after he returned to Beijing, and then expressed his hope that Lin Guifei would go to Emperor Qianwu to find out how Li Changfeng opened a gap in Liyu Mountain.

Concubine Lin Guifei shook her head directly after knowing Li Shou's purpose: "No, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this will only dislike your father and the emperor, and it will also endanger my mother's status in the harem." ”

"Mother!" Li Shou's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if you dislike your father, what can you do?" As the saying goes, mothers are more expensive than sons, as long as sons and daughters inherit the unification, who can shake your position in the future? ”

Concubine Lin still shook her head: "No, I'm afraid that if I can't find out anything, it will dislike your father and the emperor, and it won't do you any good." ”

Li Shou didn't give up, and said: "Mother concubine, the eldest brother has the support of the Murong family behind him, what is behind the son?" If you don't find out the details of Li Changfeng now, how should Erchen deal with it in the future? Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won a hundred battles, Erchen doesn't want to lose! ”

Hearing this, Concubine Lin was a little moved.

Indeed, compared to her family background, she is not a little worse than Queen Murong, and Li Shou does not have an advantage in this regard.

Li Changfeng's control of the Shangzhou flood, she already knew, and she was also shocked by the heavens, in her opinion, Li Changfeng would definitely become a strong contender for the throne, and would pose a strong threat to Li Shou.

But she still shook her head: "No, your father didn't tell you, how could you tell the people in the harem?" ”

"Mother!" Li Shou fell to his knees and said with a solemn expression: "Erchen has been fighting with the eldest emperor brother and the sixth emperor brother for so many years, do you think that after they inherit the unification, you and Erchen can have a good life?"

Now that the Nine Emperor Brother Li Changfeng has been born, it is very likely to change the division of power in the entire dynasty, whether it is to win over and use the alliance to suppress the two of them, or to show favor with him to win the favor of his father, or to plan to deal with him early, you need to know his details! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Guifei showed hesitation: "However, with the mother's understanding of your father, he will definitely not say it, and this will do more harm than good!" ”

Li Shou nodded and said: "Last time, Erchen and Li Ji suppressed Li Changfeng together, but the eldest prince spoke for Li Changfeng, it must be the queen who found out what news about him, are we going to be one step behind their mother and son?" ”

Concubine Lin has always been obsessed with Empress Murong being superior to her, and when she heard Li Shou say this, she immediately shook her teeth and said, "Okay, then the concubine will give it a try!" ”

Li Shou was overjoyed: "Thank you, concubine!" ”

……

After the early dynasty, Emperor Qianwu came to the big tree by the lake in the imperial garden, and ordered people to move all the folds over, so that Emperor Qianwu could review the folds while enjoying the shade here.

Emperor Qianwu was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "The ninth son really gave me a long face, thinking of the expressions of the courtiers today, I feel funny!" ”

Gao Dali bowed down and said with a smile: "The talent of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, Your Majesty, how can they understand your vision?" ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded and said: "Needless to say, the nine sons are talented, but his temperament is too lazy, and when he returns to Beijing this time, he must be allowed to change it, otherwise he will not waste his talent?" ”

Gao Dali hurriedly echoed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! ”

At this moment, a little eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lin asks to see you." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu was a little surprised.

For so many years, his habit has always been to go to the harem to find a concubine to favor after dealing with the political twists and turns, and everyone in the harem knows the rules.

Now that he is still busy, Lin Guifei actually took the initiative to ask to see, what could it be?

Could it be ......

Thinking that all the princes and courtiers were very curious about what method Li Changfeng used to open the Baizhang Gap in Liyu Mountain, Emperor Qianwu suddenly had a guess.

After a moment of silence, he said with a deep gaze, "Biography." ”

The little eunuch bowed away, Gao Dali thoughtful.

After a while, Concubine Lin Shi Shiran, who had been carefully dressed, walked over, and said with a smile on her face: "The concubine greets Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Qianwu smiled and raised his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I don't know what happened to Concubine Lin when she saw me?"

"There is nothing to do, just I haven't seen Your Majesty for many days, I miss it very much, and I came to visit Your Majesty."

"Oh? Is it? Emperor Qianwu glanced at Concubine Lin meaningfully and said, "Now that you have seen me, I have state affairs to be busy now, go down." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Lin was stunned for a moment.

She never thought that Emperor Qianwu was going to send her away, and he didn't even give her a chance to greet her, how could she find out the news?

For a while, Concubine Lin was a little overwhelmed.

Seeing her like this, Emperor Qianwu said tentatively: "Could it be that the concubine has something to ask?" ”

Thinking of what Li Shou said before, Empress Murong may have found out the news, and her holy favor is not much worse than that of Empress Murong.

Moreover, Emperor Qianwu had already seen that she was coming with a purpose, if he provoked Emperor Qianwu to dislike him, it would be better to say it directly, which would be more upright.

Concubine Lin organized her language for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the methods used by Changfeng to control the floods in Shangzhou recently were quite miraculous, and they were even worshiped as gods by the people, so she was curious and wanted to ask Your Majesty how he did it." ”
