The two of them were drinking tea and admiring flowers in the pavilion and chatting happily. Sicang was sitting in the study room reviewing excerpts one by one.
Huangfu Lingfeng stood aside and said in a leisurely voice: "I heard that Prince Mobei has handed over documents and wants to bring his sister to the capital to meet the emperor and pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. I wonder what His Highness's plans are?"
The document is still on the way and is being sent to the imperial capital at high speed. It will arrive in about three to five days.
"If he wants to come, let him come." Sicang said indifferently, "You will be responsible for receiving their brothers and sisters."
Huangfu Lingfeng raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
"Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a married person, he needs to avoid suspicion and not let other women have unrealistic expectations." Xi Feng sat on another chair, sorted the selected memorials into a pile, stood up and put them on the desk.
Give it to Sicang to read, and then go back to sort out the dozens of other books scattered on the couch.
Compared with his busyness, Qi Jin, who was standing in front of the window and looking at the scenery, was much more leisurely: "Mobei is now a vassal state of Dongyou. It is normal for the prince of Mobei to come to have an audience, but if you want to bring your sister with you,
, that must mean your mind is impure."
Huangfu Lingfeng nodded: "That's true."
Fu Nanchuan said calmly: "None of you are married. If Princess Mobei really comes, whoever of you looks suitable can marry her."
Huangfu Lingfeng was the first to refuse, "I am the most resistant to marrying a princess in my life. Don't make any decisions about me."
"I can't resist." Qi Jin followed, "But I heard that Princess Mobei has a pretty face, and Xi Feng can marry her home."
Xi Feng was busy sorting out the papers and was too lazy to pay attention to these unreliable people: "The person hasn't even arrived yet, and you are hurriedly discussing who to marry. How do you know that she will marry you if she is willing?"
As soon as this statement came out, several other people fell silent.
"You are worthy of being the companion of His Highness the Crown Prince. Mr. Xi's rigorous and calm, humble and down-to-earth attitude towards work is worth learning from." Huangfu Lingfeng smiled lightly, "Qi Jin, I have a hunch that Mr. Xi Feng will become your gateway to power in the future.
The biggest rival on the road.”
Qi Jin raised his eyebrows: "Is this sowing discord?"
"Tell the truth."
"Just sowing discord." Qi Jin said calmly, "In front of His Highness the Crown Prince, you dare to sow discord between us without hesitation. Aren't you afraid that the Crown Prince will order someone to pull you out and beat you up again?"
Huangfu Lingfeng said: "The prince is wise and powerful and would not abuse his subordinates like this."
"Don't be impatient and let's get down to business."
Ben?”
Huangfu Lingfeng walked to the side and sat down on a chair: "The Minister of Civil Affairs cannot be moved for the time being. We need to wait until His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne before killing Li Wei. However, we can cut off a few of his followers first."
As expected of the son of a great general, his face did not change even when talking about dealing with important officials in the court, as if he was talking about what he was going to eat for lunch today.
"It's not a secret that the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel buys and sells officials. It's just that Prince Xuan and his son were suppressing them before, so many people didn't dare to offend them." Qi Jin frowned and said in a solemn tone, "Before the prince came back, the three princes were evenly matched.
No one can predict who will take the throne in the future, let alone gamble with the fate of the family. Now the prince oversees the country, and the other three princes have no chance, so the censors dare to impeach him."
The impeachment also shows that the power of Prince Xuan's palace is not as strong as before, otherwise I'm afraid I will still have to weigh one or two things.
"Youzhou has not been peaceful recently. Bandits often rob passing merchants in the area near Youshan. They are large in number and brutal in their methods. They not only seek wealth but also kill people, so many merchants dare not pass by Youshan." Sicang.
He picked up a booklet and said, "This is the memorial to impeach Feng Zhiyuan, the governor of Youzhou. You can read it."
Huangfu Lingfeng stood up, picked up the book, sat back on his chair and read through it: "The magistrate of Youzhou happens to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"No matter who they are, such evil behavior cannot be tolerated." Sicang said indifferently, raised his head, and his eyes fell on Huangfu Lingfeng's face, "Who among you and Nanchuan will go to Youzhou?"
Fu Nanchuan said: "I'll go."
"I'll go." Huangfu Lingfeng said lazily, "General Fu is newly married, so it would be better if he stayed at home with his beloved wife."
Fu Nanchuan glanced at him: "Will I give up my beloved wife to you?"
Huangfu Lingfeng was disgusted with the cold: "Although I am not taboo about meat and vegetables, I have absolutely no habit of stealing other people's wives. Even if General Fu wants to cuckold himself, please don't come to me. I can't afford to embarrass this man."
"You should not argue with Ling Feng even if you know that he speaks freely." Qi Jin looked at Fu Nanchuan, "He has a knife in his mouth, and most people can't resist him."
"Is it possible that I also learned to be taciturn from His Highness the Crown Prince?" Huangfu Lingfeng looked at Sicang who was sitting behind the desk and concentrating on handling government affairs, "As solid as a rock, as steady as Mount Tai, not affected by anyone, even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses.
Change color——"
"Go to Youzhou." Sicang said indifferently, "Find out the origins of the Youshan generation of bandits, find out their relationship with the Youzhou magistrate, and get evidence of their collusion."
Huangfu Lingfeng's voice stopped suddenly and he was silent, "How long will your Highness give me?"
"Find out their details at the end of this month, get the evidence, and lead troops to Youzhou next month to eliminate the bandits."
When Huangfu Lingfeng heard this, he remained silent for a longer time: "Your Highness, don't you think the time is too hasty?"
"Hurry from the Imperial City to Youzhou and go alone at high speed. It only takes seven or eight days to go back and forth." Sicang's voice was calm and calm, "One month should be enough."
Huangfu Lingfeng said nothing.
"It's indeed enough." Fu Nanchuan said calmly, "If you can't do it, it's because you're not capable. Don't talk big in the future."
Qi Jin looked out the window quietly, his expression showing a calmness that had nothing to do with him.
"Okay, I'll work harder if I can." Huangfu Lingfeng scratched his nose, "This investigation involved a big fish, and it's a great achievement. Your Highness, don't forget to write me down in the credit book.
.”
"There will be an additional Enke this year." Si Cang ignored his words and ordered directly, "You make some preparations secretly to prevent any minister in the court from playing tricks on Enke. You must ensure that Enke selects students this time.
Absolute fairness and impartiality, no mistakes.”
"Yes." Qi Jin nodded, "Xifeng and I will do it now."
One of their fathers is the Chief Assistant, and the other is the Grand Tutor. They are both very important figures in the court. It is not difficult to solve this problem, but the prerequisite is that you have an attitude.
Even if you are in a high and powerful position, it will be in vain if you do not have the intention to do things carefully.
"This year we will resolve the two major issues in Youzhou and Enke first, and the rest will come later." Sicang waved his hand, "Let's all go and do our own things, there's no need to stay here."
