Laughter often hides sharp knives, this is the officialdom banquet.

Chang Feng's voice of talking and laughing with Li Guang and Liu Zhang echoed in Yihong Mansion.

After two moments of effort, Li Guang and Liu Zhang took their leave.

Chang Feng walked out of the private room.

Xu Fatzi asked, "You're going to smooth out the mud?" ”

Chang Feng nodded slightly.

Xu Fatzi was a little dissatisfied: "But, did the old soup in the teahouse die in vain?" Maybe he didn't know that tea was poisonous. Perhaps Zhao Xiangfo only instructed him to send a bowl of new tea before the rain to Gao Baihu. ”

"The years when Lao Tang poured tea and water in Jinyi Wei was no less than Sun Guishou. How many generations of robes have been served by him. ”

Chang Feng drank a few glasses of wine, and spit out the truth after drinking: "Fatty, do you have to let me speak thoroughly?" ”

Xu Fatzi was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

Chang Feng sighed: "Alas. Do you really think that Li Guang will let Zhao Xiangfo and his son live safely and securely at the border? ”

"The border is a dangerous and bitter cold place. Dying on both sides would be the norm. ”

Xu Fatzi slapped his brain: "My God, you kid is getting more and more treacherous!" ”

"You want to use Li Guang's hand to get rid of the inner ghost for Jinyiwei!"

In this way, both the inner ghost is sanctioned. You don't have to do it yourself, it won't chill the hearts of the robes. ”

The words that Chang Feng said when he was inspecting Qianhu before, not only deceived Zhao Xiangfo and his son, but also deceived Xu Fatzi.

If you want to survive in the dangerous court, you must learn to be cunning!

Chang Feng said: "I have never said this. Nor did he ever want to kill anyone. ”

"As for whether Zhao Xiangfo has the ability to escape the assassination instigated by Li Guang, it depends on his own ability."

Xu Fatzi grinned: "Hehe, there is less than an hour and a half to go." It's too late for you to go home and sleep. ”

"Why don't you sleep in Yihong Mansion? There are many rooms here, and there are more sisters who sleep with them. Convenient. ”

Chang Feng said: "You stay here and wander." I need to go home. Your sister-in-law is now in the year of the tiger and wolf. ”

"I feel at a loss if I don't spend money on sleep. Not to mention the cost of sleeping? ”

"Ten years as a wife, the tricks may not be less than that of Yihong Mansion's sisters."

Chang Feng returned home, slept for less than an hour, changed into court clothes, took a wat board, and went to Fengtianmen to participate in the morning court.

When his official boots stepped on the Jinshui Bridge, the morning sun was already about to come out, and the sky was red.

Chang Feng is not a fortune teller, so naturally he will not know that yesterday's his cocooning, following the vine and touching melons, and flies and dogs, indirectly opened an era.

One belongs to the Hongzhi Zhongxing era of the "Later Three Gentlemen" Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian!

Hundreds of officials entered the wide court in front of the Fengtian Gate, and the honor guards of the Han generals were lined up on both sides of the dragon chairs. Emperor Hongzhi sat on the dragon chair with the support of Xiao Jing, the master of ceremonies.

Xiao Jing, as usual, shouted at the top of his voice: "Discussion! ”

Yushi Sun Chunbin was the first to come out of the class: "Your Majesty." Yesterday, Chen and Jinyi Weizuo knew that Chang Feng had cleared Li Dongyang and Xie Qian's private files, and the results had been obtained. ”

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Oh? What is the result? ”

Emperor Hongzhi asked Sun Chunbin, but his eyes looked at Chang Feng.

Chang Feng bowed slightly towards Emperor Hongzhi with a tacit understanding.

Emperor Hongzhi knew it in his heart: Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were saved! Oh, if Chang Feng can't keep the person I want to protect, then he is not worthy of being in charge of the Jinyi Guard.

Sun Chunbin said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty." The minister is guilty! The minister shouldn't have heard about it, and almost wronged the virtuous minister! ”

"It is recorded in Jinyiwei's private file that although Li Dongyang and Xie Qian had low official positions in the previous dynasty. But he dared to fight against Shang Ming, Wantong, Wan'an and other traitorous eunuchs, powerful ministers, and Yong. ”

"It's simply noble and iron-clad!"

A group of officials were in an uproar!

Yesterday, it was said that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were misbehaved, and it was you, Sun Chunbin, who were attached to the traitorous eunuchs.

Today, it is said that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are noble, and it is you Sun Chunbin who fights against the traitorous eunuchs.

Good guy, good words and bad words are all up to you. With a big mouth, he spat at the stars.

Hongzhi Emperor Long Yan Dayue: "I have long known that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian's character is first-class. The ability to do things is also first-class. ”

"The cabinet intends to summon Li Dongyang and Xie to move into the cabinet and participate in the maintenance of the aircraft."

Xu Pu, the first assistant of the cabinet, came out of the class: "The minister obeys the order!" The Emperor Shengming! ”

The ministers echoed: "The emperor is sage! ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked confused.

Yesterday was still in jeopardy. Entering the cabinet today, is he a very good minister?

What happened to make Sun Chunbin's attitude of facing up earlier twice like two people?

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Sun Chunbin, you listen to rumors and impeach the virtuous ministers." I will punish you severely. ”

At this time, Chang Feng came out of class: "Your Majesty, although Sun Chunbin's ability is average, he is also gullible in rumors. But after all, he has served in the DPRK for 38 years. ”

"There is no merit, but there is hard work. The minister heard that Taichang Temple was vacant. The minister suggested that Sun Chunbin be transferred to serve as Taile Ling. ”

Taile Ling sounds quite lofty. In fact, he is a seven-grade sesame official. Adjust the bell rhythm for sacrifice.

To put it bluntly, he is the tuner of a court percussion band.

Chang Feng's suggestion seemed to be flat, but in fact, Sun Chunbin had no power. But this is also better than dismissal, court staff, and distribution!

This is the compromise that Chang Feng reached with Li Guang in private last night. End Sun Chunbin's career future, but will keep his official body.

Chang Feng never made personnel suggestions to Emperor Hongzhi in the early dynasties.

The confidant celebrity made personnel suggestions in the early dynasty for the first time, and Emperor Hongzhi of course wanted to give face.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Well, according to what Chang Qing said." transferred Sun Chunbin to serve as Taile Ling. ”

Sun Chunbin shouted: "Thank the emperor for Longen!" ”

Chang Feng thought to himself: Next, the emperor may have to ask about Yuma. I don't know if Li Guang is ready to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi didn't mention this stubble at all.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian have successfully entered the cabinet. The king of a country is too lazy to ask about those bits and pieces.

The morning sun has risen into the sky. The sun shone on the earth and illuminated the wide courtyard in front of the Fengtian Gate.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian straightened their waists and stood in the civil official class. Their time has come!

The early dynasty is gone. Emperor Hongzhi summoned Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Chang Feng.

Emperor Hongzhi first exhorted Li and Xie to let them do a good job in the cabinet in the future to benefit the people of Li.

Li and Xie expressed their stance that they would set a straw ring in this life to repay Jun's kindness and benefit the people.

Emperor Hongzhi changed his words: "You can successfully enter the cabinet, and it is all up to Changfeng to remove obstacles for you." ”

"In the evening, you have to treat Chang Feng to a drink, thank him well."

Li and Xie suddenly realized: No wonder Sun Chunbin changed his words earlier! It turns out that the two of us have the help of nobles, no, the king of Hades has helped.

Li Dongyang waved towards Chang Feng: "Thank you Chang Tongzhi for washing away our grievances." ”

Chang Feng said: "There is no need to thank the officials. Or the two cabinet elders are acting upright and sitting upright. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and rumors are self-defeating. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "That's it! Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, you go down first. Stay in the wind for a while. ”

After the two left, Emperor Hongzhi asked Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, what is going on?" ”

Chang Feng did not inform Emperor Hongzhi of the truth this time. just said lightly: "Sun Chunbin is at a loss, and the minister reprimanded him." And he came to his senses. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were suspicious, but he said; "Oh, that's right."

That's what it is like to be a big leader. Arrange for subordinates to do things, and subordinates can do it.

As for how the subordinates did it, the big leader of the process didn't bother to ask.

If you ask about the process, there will be more troubles and extraneous branches.

Emperor Hongzhi praised Chang Feng: "No matter what you say is true or false, I believe it is true." I'll give you another credit for this. ”

"Merit is rewarded. I have a royal village in the western suburbs. Set aside a thousand acres of land and reward you! ”

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Thank the emperor for his grace!" ”

The land of Huangzhuang is only given to the clan and relatives. Chang Feng got an exceptional honor again this time.

Let's talk about the Kunning Palace.

Liu Jin lay on the bed to recuperate. The whiplash on his back hurt like a pinprick. Wei Bin was on the side to change his dressing.

At this moment, Chang Tian entered Liu Jin's bedroom. She struggled to carry a large silver ingot weighing a hundred taels in both hands.

"Hey, hey. It's heavy. ”

Liu Jin ignored the pain and got out of bed.

Chang Tian said: "The queen said, Li Guang wronged you. Punish Li Guang for half a year and treat your injuries. No, I sent it to you! ”

Forty-six-year-old Liu Jin couldn't hold back any longer, his nose was sore, and tears flowed out.

He didn't care about the etiquette in the palace, and hugged Chang Tian: "Little aunt! You saved my life yesterday! Chang Ye thought of a way to wash away my grievances again. ”

"You and Chang Ye are simply my reborn parents!"

"From now on, you are no longer my little aunt! You're my godmother! No, you're my mother! ”

Chang Tian was hugged by Liu Jin and couldn't breathe: "What a godmother." Father-in-law Liu, you grew up coaxing me since I was a child. In private, you still call me Little Candy! ”

Liu Jin secretly vowed: If there is a day when power and power fall into the opposition, two things must be done.

Kill Li Guang!

Will be spoiled like a princess!

Liu Jin said that he wanted to recognize Chang Tian as his godmother. Deep down, he regards Chang Tian as his daughter.

The eunuch had no home and no children. They crave affection more than anyone else. Chang Tian gave him family affection.

Liu Jin hugged Chang Tian and cried non-stop: "Woo woo." My little sugar candy. What blessings did I cultivate in my previous life, and I met you and your brother in this life! ”

Chang Tian smiled and said, "Okay, don't cry!" Let's lie on my stomach. After healing his injuries, take me and the prince and Zhuang Zhuang to fly kites. ”

Liu Jin finally let go of Chang Tian.

Chang Tian said: "That's right. My brother asked me to bring you a message. You tore your face with Li Guang. In the future, Li Guang will inevitably find trouble with you. ”

"You are just the supervisor of Kunning Palace, Li Guang is your boss, he wants to clean you up a lot."

"To be on the safe side. My brother said hello to Qian Nengqian's father-in-law. Let you work as a foreman in the East Factory. ”

"With the identity of Dongchang, it will be difficult for Li Guang to move you again!"

Under the superintendent of the East Factory, there are left and right foremen, left and right foremen, and 36 divisions. All of them were filled by eunuchs in the palace.

The head of the shift is generally concurrently held by the young eunuch in the palace.

The foreman is generally concurrently served by the palace supervisor.

As Chang Tian said, Liu Jin has the identity of the East Factory, which is equivalent to becoming a member of the factory guard.

Li Guang even if he beats a dog, it depends on the owner.

When Liu Jin heard this, the tears that had just stopped began to flow again: "Woo woo! Chang Ye treats me like a mountain! ”

"If there is a day when I gain power, I will treat the Chang family well!"

"Who dares to be the enemy of the Chang family. I arrested all the men of his family and castrated them into the palace as eunuchs! ”

Chang Tian smiled and said, "Okay, good!" You hurry to bed to recuperate. Only by taking care of your injuries can you think of a powerful idea! ”

Liu Jin said: "I listen to my little aunt, no, Xiao Tangtang." I was lying on my stomach. ”

Chang Tian bounced away.

Wei Bin on the side sighed: "Father-in-law Liu, you and the county lord of Wanping are really aunts and nephews!" ”

Liu Jin didn't speak, but said in his heart: It's a father-daughter relationship!

At night, Li Dongyang's mansion.

Li Dongyang set up a table of banquets and invited Chang Feng to Xie Qian to express his gratitude.

Li Dongyang raised his glass: "I know that in the seemingly calm capital yesterday, there must be an undercurrent surging and thrilling. ”

"It was all common knowledge that dragged us out of the abyss from which we will never recover."

Chang Feng waved his hand: "Li Ge's old words are serious. I'm just giving a little help. ”

The dialogue between the big people has always been point-to-point.

Chang Feng neither boasted of his merits, nor did he deny that he had helped Li and Xie.

That's how you are. If you help others, don't ask for credit in front of others. That's just going to be annoying.

Xie Qian also raised his glass: "The gratitude of the two of us to Chang Tongzhi is all in the wine!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi asked Li Dongyang and Xie Qian to invite Chang Feng to a banquet, which has its own deep meaning.

His intention was to let the ministers have more contacts with the head of Jinyiwei, and work together in the future to ensure the prosperity of Hongzhi for a long time.

The emperors of all dynasties were extremely disgusted with the ministers and the people in the factory guards.

Emperor Hongzhi did the opposite. No wonder later generations commented that the brocade guards of the Hongzhi Dynasty were the most peaceful and benevolent among the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty.

It is no wonder that later generations criticized Emperor Hongzhi for conniving at civil officials.

The rights and wrongs of the emperor are left to future generations to comment. But how many descendants can really say it clearly?

Xie Qian is a well-known fool in the court. In addition to fooling people, he is also good at telling jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

As long as Xie Qian is there, the atmosphere must be full of laughter and laughter.

He belongs to the kind of master who is loved by everyone and sees flowers blooming.

After three rounds of drinking, Xie Qian told a joke: "When I was a child, my family invited a gentleman. My husband told my father again and again to prepare more tofu for each meal. ”

He also said to himself that tofu was his life.

"My father has always respected his teachers. He was given tofu every day. ”

"When he was twelve, he stopped teaching me. I found another museum. ”

"In the eleventh year of Chenghua, I won the champion. His father invited him to his house and gave him a feast. ”

"The gentleman feasted on the fish on the table. The big belly is round, and you have to hold on to the wall to walk. ”

"My father asked, doesn't my husband regard tofu as his life?"

"The gentleman replied, what do you want to do when you see meat?"

Chang Feng and Li Dongyang couldn't stop laughing.

Xie Da flickered and told meat jokes.

After telling the joke that meat is not dying, he told another one: "I used to have a neighbor who raised a daughter who was born like a flower. ”

"By the sixteenth, there were two families who came to propose, the Zhang family and the Li family."

"The Zhang family is rich, his son is ugly, and the dogs think he stumbles when they see him."

"The Li family is poor, and the son is good-looking."

"My neighbor asked her daughter who she would like to marry."

The daughter replied: Can I marry two husbands with one daughter and eat at Zhang's house during the day. Go to Li's house to sleep at night? ”

Chang Feng and Li Dongyang laughed again.

Let's eat the wine and feast. The three of them sat down and drank tea to relieve their hangover.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang stopped telling jokes. Instead, he restrained his smile and discussed the major policies of governing the country.

One thing to say, although Chang Feng is shrewd and capable, he has been doing secret errands that cannot be put on the table in the past ten years.

He knows nothing about governing the country.

Li and Xie discussed the governance of the country, but he couldn't interject. I can only listen to it from the sidelines, and let out "oh oh", "this way", "yes" and other feelings.

Chang Feng felt that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were very conservative in their governing concepts.

He suddenly discovered why Emperor Hongzhi wanted Li and Xie to enter the cabinet!

The prosperity of Hongzhi has gradually entered a better situation. For the vast Ming Empire, what is most needed today is not the minister of innovation, but the minister of success.

Conservative, sometimes not a derogatory term.

Chang Feng secretly said in his heart: Yesterday's toss was another cocoon, and it was a fly camp dog. It's all worth it.

Success or failure may not be the most important thing.

It's worth it, it's the most important thing.

If it's not worth it, even if it succeeds, it is a failure.

It's worth it, even if it fails, it's a success.
