"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" At this moment, a voice rang out.

Zhu Youxiao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Huo Weihua, the Taifu Siqing, who was Wei Zhongxian's adviser and one of Wei Zhongxian's hardcore henchmen with Cui Chengxiu, and he said with some curiosity: "It turned out to be Huo Aiqing, what did you do?" ”

Huo Weihua walked out of the team, arched his hand to Zhu Youxiao and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yang Feng's dedication to the sacred potato has made a great contribution to the country, and he must not be rewarded, otherwise it will definitely chill the heart of the hero." ”

Hearing this, the faces of many officials changed slightly, but they were helpless, after all, Yang Feng's offering of potatoes can now be said to be a certainty, and no one can deny this, Zhu Youxiao wants to rely on this point to promote his official No one can find fault with it.

"But!" Suddenly, Huo Weihua's words suddenly changed, "Yang Feng was just promoted from a five-rank thousand households to a third-grade commander a month ago, this is already the emperor's grace, if he is promoted again at this time, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for him." ”

"Well, that makes sense!"

"Lord Huo is very right."

Many officials nodded frequently, it was rare to be promoted from a fifth rank to a third rank just two months ago, and it would be too appalling if they were promoted again now.

But Zhu Youxiao was a little unhappy, in his opinion, Yang Feng was a knowledgeable and capable talent. If it is a talent, it should be promoted, how can it be slowly promoted step by step like those mediocre talents who do nothing, he said a little unhappily: "Then what should happen between Huo Aiqing?" ”

Huo Weihua said unhurriedly: "Now the border pass war is tight, some time ago the Japanese thief chief Nurhachi was even more brazenly proclaimed emperor in Shenyang, and Ning Yuan was eyeing Ningyuan, to sum up, there will be war at the border pass in the near future, so the minister thinks that it is better to let Yang Feng lead the troops and horses of the border pass to the border under the command of Inspector Sun, and it is not too late for His Majesty to reward him after he has made a contribution, so that the ministers will no longer have any objections." ”

"Huh......"

When the officials in the Jinluan Hall heard this, they felt that their heads were a little insufficient, and this style of painting changed a little quickly. Isn't Huo Weihua on Yang Feng's side, it's just that he doesn't get rewarded for his merits, and he also sends people to the border to fight hard with the Tartars, what kind of grudge does this Yang Feng have with you, he wants such a pit person, this routine is too deep.

However, although I don't understand why Huo Weihua did it, this does not prevent some officials from continuing to fall into the trap. Immediately, someone stood up and echoed: "Your Majesty, what Lord Huo said is very true, it is reported that Yang Feng is only in his twenties this year, and he is already a third-rank commander, if he is promoted too quickly, it may be difficult to block the mouths of the people in the world, if he does not wait for him to go to the border pass to make military achievements, His Majesty will promote him, so that no one can say anything." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

Seeing an official stand up and second, Zhu Youxiao was really tired of it. The ability of these officials to do things may not be good, but the ability to drag their feet is first-class strong, and a good thing that was originally good became a bad thing when it came to their mouths, and a bad thing that came out of their mouths turned into a kind act for the sake of others, and Zhu Youxiao had to be amazed at the ability of these officials to refer to the deer as a horse.

But it's not happy, but Zhu Youxiao knows that there is one thing they are not wrong, that is, Yang Feng's speed is too fast, most of the year ago he was still a white body, and he was promoted to the commander of the third rank guard in less than a few months after becoming a five-grade thousand households, and if he is promoted now, then it is really a little unreasonable, which is also the reason why so many officials speak together.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and then nodded, "Okay, but now that Yang Feng is now subordinate to the Wei Institute, if he wants to be transferred to the border pass, he has to give him another official position." In this way, I will add Yang Feng as the general of Jiangning Wei in Nanjing, and the Jiangning guards and horses will be under his command, and they will be transferred to Liaodong on the same day and under the control of Sun Chengzong, what do you think Aiqing? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" After achieving the goal, the officials were very satisfied, and they didn't care about the other official position that Zhu Youxiao gave Yang Feng, anyway, the general was only a third-grade official, and it could not be said to be a promotion, it could only be said to be a flat adjustment.

After getting off the court, Zhu Youxiao returned to his carpenter's room, originally one of his biggest hobbies on weekdays was to do carpentry work, but today he looked at the dazzling array of wood products in the house and felt a little uncomfortable. Huo Weihua's appearance today made him realize that Wei Zhongxian should be behind this matter, but what made him wonder was why Wei Zhongxian did this, he didn't remember what Yang Feng had with Wei Zhongxian, why Wei Zhongxian was so jealous of him.

The more Zhu Youxiao thought about it, the more he felt a little congested, and shouted loudly, "Come on, Xuan Wei Zhongxian is here." ”

The voice fell, but there was no one next to him, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, his face sank, it stands to reason that there are people around him for twelve hours, how can no one say anything after he speaks, could it be that the little eunuch around him dares to neglect his duties.

Just when he was about to get angry, a gentle voice came from the side: "Your Majesty, what is the matter with you, you are about to announce that Wei Zhongxian has just come down to the court?" ”

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and saw that it was Queen Zhang Yan, and his originally unhappy expression became gentle, "It turned out to be Zitong, why did you come here?" ”

Zhang Yanjiao said angrily: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to the concubine for a few days, aren't you still allowed to come and see you?" ”

"Oh, that's not my thing." Zhu Youxiao smiled a little embarrassedly and sighed lightly: "These days, the border is urgent, Nurhachi is leading troops to invade the Ningyuan area, Sun Chengzong is leading Liaodong soldiers and horses to defend urgently, and asked the imperial court to send reinforcements, and also asked me to resend Xiong Tingbi to Liaodong to make meritorious contributions."

That's it, even Yang Feng offered thousands of catties of divine relics to the imperial court, and if I wanted to promote him to his official position, the ministers would also stop him, and said that he would let Yang Feng go to the border pass to make meritorious service and then promote him, I couldn't figure it out, those who don't do things eat all day long, but they want to prevent those who do things from being promoted. Even Wei Zhongxian was involved in this matter, did our Ming Dynasty raise those things for more than two hundred years? ”

Seeing her husband's headache, Zhang Yan walked to his side distressedly and held her husband's hand and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself too much, almost all the officials in the court and the central government today have their own calculations, these people are all good at doing things, and they are all good at doing things, if Your Majesty cares about everything, then you will have to be angry with them sooner or later." However, not all of us are such people, at least we have capable ministers such as Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi and Yang Feng to help you in the future, what can you tell them to do. ”

"yes!" Zhu Youxiao held Zhang Yan's small hand with his backhand, "Zitong is right, there are still capable people under my hands, this Xiong Tingbi has probably been impatient since he was released home last time, right?" This time, Wei Zhongxian's actions were very disappointing to me, I didn't expect that it was his selfishness that was so heavy, I really didn't expect it. ”

Zhang Yan couldn't help complaining when she heard this: "The concubine has long said that Wei Zhongxian is not a good person, so Your Majesty should not reuse this person." ”

Speaking of Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Yan's phoenix eyes showed a fierce gaze.

Just last year, Zhang Yan was pregnant, one day her waist was a little uncomfortable, she heard that there was a palace maid in the palace who was good at massage, so she sent someone to find this palace maid to massage her, but the palace maid actually massaged Zhang Yan to miscarry, and afterwards the palace maid also committed suicide bizarrely, to say that there is no cat in it, it is simply an insult to Zhang Yan's IQ, and Zhang Yan also counted this revenge on Wei Zhongxian and his hospitable family, and only the two of them have the ability to plot against her, the master of the harem. It's just that Wei Zhongxian and the Ke clan are deeply trusted by Zhu Youxiao, and Zhang Yan has no choice but to hide this hatred in her heart for a while.

"Zitong, you don't understand!" Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "After Emperor Taizu of this dynasty founded the Ming Dynasty, he abolished the prime minister and the Zhongshu provincial system and created a six-ministry system, which is of course a great consolidation of imperial power, but there is also a defect, that is, the monarch must work day and night to deal with government affairs, but since the death of Emperor Taizu, no one in this dynasty can be as diligent as Taizu, so Emperor Chengzu had to formulate a cabinet system, originally several cabinet elders only assisted the king to deal with government affairs, but as time went by, the power of the cabinet and civil officials is getting bigger and bigger, It even reached the point where it could check and balance the imperial power. In order to check and balance the civil official group, the ancestors had to start promoting eunuchs to restrain the civil official group, but the appointment of eunuchs is also risky, once you are not careful, you will repeat the scourge of Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Cao Jixiang, Liu Jin and others, now do you understand the reason why I reused Wei Zhongxian? ”

"Your Majesty, did you come up with any of these?"

After listening, Zhang Yan's beautiful phoenix eyes looked at her husband without blinking, with a look of surprise on her face. As the so-called husband Mo Ruo's wife, Zhu Youxiao's cultural level is the most clear as a wife, to say that Zhu Youxiao can explain the advantages and disadvantages of the dynasty system so thoroughly, Zhang Yan absolutely does not believe it, the words just now sound very simple, but people who do not know the Ming Dynasty thoroughly cannot make such a summary. And Zhu Youxiao didn't even know a few words before he became the emperor, how could he have this insight.

Hearing his daughter-in-law looking at him in such surprise, Zhu Youxiao's old face blushed and explained, "These are all things that I told me about living in the Thousand Households of Jiangdong Gate a few days ago and chatting with Yang Feng, and I was also greatly inspired after hearing it." ”

Zhang Yan chuckled, she had a good impression of this Yang Feng. After all, she is also a woman, and Yang Feng often sends people to send some feminine products such as shampoo, shower gel, soap, mirrors, and cosmetics that are commonplace in modern times but have never appeared in this time and space.

I saw her phoenix eyes turn, and said to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the concubine has a proposal." Didn't Sun Chengzong shout that Xiong Tingbi would be transferred back to Liaodong, why don't you let Yang Feng and Xiong Tingbi go to Liaodong together, so you can have a companion. ”

"Huh...... That's right! Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, "Xiong Tingbi is indeed a talent, but he is very good at fighting, let him and Yang Feng work under Sun Chengzhong, maybe he can create a miracle." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao hugged Zhang Yan and quickly kissed her on the pink face, so ashamed that Zhang Yan hurriedly pushed her husband away and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, there are still people here." ”

"Where's the man?" Zhu Youxiao laughed, and Zhang Yan saw that the eunuch palace maid who was standing at the door had already disappeared completely.

"Zitong, I suddenly remembered one thing, then Yang Feng once told me that flirting between husband and wife before doing that kind of thing will greatly increase the chance of getting pregnant."

"Your Majesty is talking nonsense again!"

"This is not nonsense, it was Yang Feng who told me, I think it still makes some sense, so let's try it today, how about you?"

"Don't ......"

"No, I want it now!"

"Your Majesty...... That...... Then you'll have to tap ......"

A week later, when Yang Feng received the order from the imperial court, Yang Feng was having dinner with the officers on the school grounds of Jiang Dongwei, and the entire school field was silent after the officials of the military department read out the official documents of the military department.

Huang Zhenye spit out a piece of fat that had just been put in his mouth, Qiu Disheng's biggest was that he could stuff an egg into it, and Cao Yingmao and the others also had different expressions on their faces, all in all, the entire school field fell into silence.

Seeing the school field that fell into a strange silence, the member of the military department who read the official document looked at him with thousands of pairs of eyes on the school field, and immediately felt a little hairy in his heart, what is wrong with these big-headed soldiers, they don't want to pull the flag and rebel, right?

In the end, it was Yang Feng who took the official document, and the foreigner said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Lord Yang, congratulations to Lord Yang for being promoted to a general, if you can take Liaodong to win a few battles this time, you will be able to add an official to the knighthood!" ”

"Really?"

Yang Feng said lightly: "My lord, this official only wants to know who made the proposal to transfer this officer and the sergeant of the Jiangning Guard Station to the border pass. ”

Looking at Yang Feng, who was not smiling, and the soldiers around him with a trace of murderous aura, this foreigner, who was still holding the shelf, only felt that his legs were trembling, and he said tremblingly: "This official has only heard of ...... I only heard that it was proposed by Lord Huo Weihua, the Taifu Siqing of the Early Dynasty, and then all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed, and His Majesty agreed. ”

Huo Weihua ...... Wei Zhongxian ......"

Yang Feng's mouth slowly spit out a word, and he suddenly looked at this foreign man grinning and revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "What if the official doesn't want to go?" ”
