Chapter 72 Royal Prelude, Bargaining

Today is Feng Yibo’s second time attending the court meeting.

A junior official of his level wanted to attend the court meeting.

Except if you have something to report, you need to register with the Ministry of Etiquette in advance and wait for approval.

There is another situation.

Some of the issues at the court meeting that day may involve him.

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Rites will notify you in advance.

If Xia Bingzhong's news is correct.

One of the topics at today's court meeting is to discuss sending him to patrol the south of the Yangtze River to patrol Japanese pirates and train troops.

This is the benefit of having someone in the palace.

Feng Yibo has made sufficient preparations for this.

In the Taiji Hall, all the princes lined up.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Feng Yibo stood at the end with his hands hanging down, and he couldn't even see the emperor's face.

At this time, most of the court meeting was already underway, but none of it had anything to do with him.

At first he listened with great interest, but now he was a little drowsy.

Just when his eyelids started to tremble, he finally heard someone calling his name.

It turns out that the previous topic has ended.

Zhang Songyue, the chief minister of the cabinet, came out to start the next topic.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Nanjing camp, Mu Kun, recommended Feng Yuan to the Hanlin Academy to patrol the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River and conduct military training."

It's finally his turn!

Feng Yibo was shocked when he heard this, and at the same time he was secretly surprised.

Although he knew someone recommended him, he didn't know who he was.

Unexpectedly, this recommendation came from Jiangnan.

"Is it Feng Yuan again?"

Emperor Jingshun naturally knew this a long time ago, otherwise how could Xia Bingzhong know?

But at this time, he only pretended to know, and deliberately asked:

"Mu Kun is the queen of Dongping County and the commander of the Nanjing Camp. If he recommends this person, there must be some reasons."

When Feng Yuan heard this, he was even more shocked.

This matter is getting more and more confusing.

Even if the Supreme Emperor wants to deal with him,

It’s not like even the four bastards are using it, right?

If he was not the Supreme Emperor, why would Mu Kun recommend him?

At this time, Emperor Jingshun said: "In that case, teacher might as well explain it first."

"Your Majesty, Feng Yuan, editor of the Hanlin Academy, before entering the capital for the examination, in the first month of the first month, he led his two hundred village men to assist the capital camp and killed hundreds of Japanese pirates in the southern suburbs of Jinling."

After Zhang Songyue said this, he looked around, as if looking for Feng Yibo.

He added: "This is the battle that has wiped out the most Japanese pirates in Jiangnan so far!"

"Today, Editor Feng still has a reputation in Jiangnan that is comparable to that of Jiaxuan."

What happened to Zhao Wensong last time made Zhang Songyue very anxious.

Who should be sent to resolve this matter has always been unresolved.

Now that someone has taken over, he naturally wants it.

Therefore, after learning about this matter, he immediately discussed it with Invesco.

Since someone recommended it from Jiangnan, why not let Feng Yuan give it a try.

"So Commander Mu believes that at this time, the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River are in serious trouble. Only by letting Editor Feng take charge can we hope to solve the problem as soon as possible."

Emperor Jingshun waited for Zhang Songyue to finish speaking, and then asked according to the procedure:

"Did Editor Feng attend the court meeting today?"

The monarch and his ministers sang in harmony, as if they had been rehearsed.

"Your Majesty Feng Yuan is here!"

When Feng Yibo heard that he was being called, he quickly came out of the queue and bowed before Lord Dan.

Zhang Songyue asked with a smile: "Editor Feng, do you have anything to say about Commander Mu's performance?"

Feng Yibo couldn't wait any longer. Hearing this, he said loudly:

"I am willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River to serve the Holy One, wipe out Japanese pirates for the people along the coast, and restore a clear day to the south of the Yangtze River!"

As soon as Feng Yibo came out, there were seven or eight people gearing up.

Prepare to add insult to injury for him.

But now that they heard him say that he was willing to go, everyone froze in place.

I didn't know how to continue for a while.

There was only one person who didn't listen to what Feng Yibo said at all.

Go directly forward and bow before Lord Dan.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. This patrol of Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River belongs to none other than Feng Bianxiu!"

"If Editor Feng refuses to go, there will be no hope in suppressing the Japanese in Jiangnan!"

This person was the censor of Lantai Temple who fired at Li Shouzhong at the last court meeting.

A person of Zhao Shunjun, Minister of Household Affairs.

Talk and talk.

Including Mu Kun, these are all the Emperor's people.

This made people in both the government and the public have some inexplicable associations.

"Um?"

Feng Yibo looked puzzled.

I wonder if this person is a fool?

After the censor finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

He stood up and looked around, and found that all the ministers were looking at him like an idiot.

Feng Yibo moved two steps and reminded softly:

"My lord, what I just said is..."

After a pause, he moved forward again.

Just one word after another, it exploded in that person’s ears!

"I'm going! I said I want to go!"

The censor was immediately shocked and blurted out:

"Ah...you said you were going?"

Feng Yuan nodded and said matter-of-factly:

"That's right! If I can be loyal to the Holy One, serve the country, and do something for the folks in my hometown, why don't I go?"

Then he looked at the censor with a look of surprise and said:

"Oh! I understand! Sir, you are treating me with a compassionate heart. You think you don't want to go, so you don't want to go, so you are rushing to add insult to injury?"

"No no!"

The censor shook his head and argued again:

"I just think Editor Feng is very suitable for this job, so I want to give him some advice."

"Oh! Got it!"

Feng Yuan nodded and said: "So, sir, you want to go too!"

"No, no, no! I..."

The censor was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and wanted to explain something else.
