After reuniting with Xu Miaoxuan, Qin Dewei felt much more relaxed and calm for some reason, and he was no longer so angry.
At this time, looking at Huo Tao who was acting pretentious, he just looked at him as a clown, and did not habitually open his mouth to fight to death.
Qin Dewei can watch the show, but the person involved, Feng Xingke, can't bear it and keeps giving Qin Dewei looks. What should he do?
Qin Dewei laughed dumbly. This Feng Xing was worthy of being Master Feng's biological son. He always had no idea when things happened.
So he reminded me: "Think about it, what have you been doing these past few days? What were you doing outside the right gate of Chang'an?"
After receiving this advice, Feng Xingke was so happy that he knelt down in front of Huo Tao.
During this period of time, Feng Xingke really became proficient in kneeling. Besides, Huo Tao is a third-grade official and is several times his age, so kneeling down is not shabby!
Huo Tao wanted to salute Feng, but he didn't realize what Feng Xiaoyou was doing.
Then he saw Feng Xingke grabbing his thigh and shouting to himself: "My father is suffering in prison, and as a human son, he is burned inside and out. I wish I could replace him with my own body!"
Seeing how righteous Mr. Huo is, I beg you to write to Mr. Huo and let me suffer the punishment in my father’s place, even if I die in his place!”
It’s both emotional and emotional, making people tear up!
Wucao! Huo Tao almost raised his leg and kicked the person away.
How can such a memorial be published? Isn't this tantamount to excusing Feng En? It will make the emperor unhappy!
I have just returned to the capital, and Xie Enshu hasn't arrived yet, how can I deal with such a moth first!
Qin Dewei supported him and said, "Master Huo, please let me know whether you agree or not!"
Unable to offend him, Huo Tao pulled out his legs with all his strength, turned around and left. Today's trip was in vain.
The follower Ma Er proudly said to the other Feng family servants: "Have you seen what it means to use a big sword in front of Guan Gong?
Master Huo's moves are all leftover from Mr. Qin's play."
If Feng Xingke had some insights, he seemed to have learned another trick.
After Huo Tao left the Feng family's residence in Wugong Hutong, he went directly to the home of the great scholar Fang Xianfu.
Fang Xianfu and Huo Tao were both from Nanhai County, Guangdong, and they were from the same hometown, so they were closer to each other, especially since they were both outstanding officials in the ceremony.
Huo Tao returned to the capital this time, fearing that there would be another problem. He was really invisible and hidden along the way, traveling day and night. Many people didn't know that he had arrived in the capital.
I wanted to apologize first, as the first news after my return to Beijing - usually the first appearance attracts the most attention, but it turned out to be a mess.
Huo Tao went to Fang Xianfu to learn more about the recent developments in the capital. After all, he had just come back and many things were still in the dark.
Although Fang Xianfu has a higher status, Fang Xianfu has a generous personality and has been very indifferent to fame in the past two years. He has been frustrated by the torment.
Therefore, when two people get along, Huo Tao, who has a strong personality, often takes the initiative.
Fang Xianfu thought about the events of the past two months: "I think what you need to pay most attention to is the Feng En case. His move of recommending you is very strange. You should be careful."
Huo Tao said nonchalantly: "It's not strange, it can be explained.
The emperor wanted me to return to the capital. Xia Yan was unwilling to show weakness and obey directly, but he did not dare to disobey the emperor, so he used Feng En's pen to untie my shackles and let me go back to the capital.
At the same time, this is also a favor to the emperor and relieves Feng En's pressure on the death penalty."
Fang Xianfu always felt that things were not that simple. If Xia Yan's idea was really that simple, then how could you, Huo Tao, be tricked into jail, then dismissed from office and returned to your hometown?
But seeing Huo Tao's confident momentum, he stopped saying anything, not to mention that Fang Xianfu didn't have any clue at first.
Then Fang Xianfu talked about "selecting talents to enter the Imperial Academy", which is considered the biggest event in recent times.
Huo Tao said dissatisfied: "Why are only Zhai Luan and Xia Yan so active? You and Ge Kui have no idea of nominating candidates?"
Fang Xianfu shook his head with a wry smile. The first criterion for entering the Imperial Academy is talent and learning.
However, most talented and learned people cherish their feathers and do not want to be part of the party with the heroes of the Great Li Conference, so it is very difficult for them, the heroes of the Great Li Conference, to win over people.
Fang Xianfu could only say: "Both the chief assistant and I are already feeling discouraged and don't want to bother anymore."
This is not a hypocritical lie. Both Zhang Shoufu and Fang Xianfu are indeed in a tired state now.
While being scolded as a sycophant by the mainstream public opinion in Shilin for more than ten years, while carefully serving Emperor Jiajing, a monarch who likes to be suspicious and whose moods are unpredictable, can you not feel tired?
This is also the main reason why Huo Tao and Xia Yan regard each other as their biggest enemies.
Huo Tao believed that he was a hero in the Dali Conference. If Zhang Fujing, the first assistant, resigned, he should inherit the mantle of the hero in the Dali Conference and become the cabinet spokesman.
Xia Yan believes that he is the next cabinet talker trained by the emperor. The era of great rites and ministers in power is about to pass, and the future should be his own era.
Therefore, although Xia Yan was the opposite of Zhang Fujing, the first assistant, in terms of political status, he fought the most fiercely with Huo Tao.
Seeing Fang Xianfu's indifferent attitude, Huo Tao became even more dissatisfied.
It doesn't matter if you two big brothers are decadent, but you can't just sit back and watch others become powerful!
"No matter what, since such an opportunity has arisen, we can't let others take it away in vain!" Huo Tao said firmly.
Fang Xianfu then asked, "What do you think? Those Eight Talents are popular figures that cannot be bypassed. Although most of them are your disciples, they don't recognize you in their hearts."
Huo Tao's face darkened. He really didn't want to pick up any of the pots. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ask Zhai Luan and let him allocate a few places!"
"You want to cooperate with Zhai Luan?" Fang Xianfu understood what Huo Tao meant.
Huo Tao commented: "Zhai Luan is too greedy. He only wants to squeeze eight people into the quota for ten people. How can such a beautiful thing happen?
Even if we didn't stop him, Xia Yan wouldn't be able to let such a list pass!
So we cut these eight talents in half, and we will nominate the extra spots! Then we join forces with Zhai Luan to ensure that the list passes the nomination!"
Fang Xianfu felt that Huo Tao's thinking was a bit simplistic, "It's not easy to choose a person, and there is also the factor of Qin Dewei."
Huo Tao asked in surprise: "What does the important affairs of the imperial court have to do with a little person like him?"
Your Fang Xianfu's suggestion that Xia Yan is the hindrance factor is pretty reliable, but what the hell is it that Qin Dewei said? Did you do it to disgust yourself on purpose?
Huo Tao was not in the capital during this period, so he had no idea what Qin Dewei had done, mainly because it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Fang Xianfu sighed: "These ten people are recommended by the public, so it depends on the public discussion. Then Qin Dewei is good at manipulating the public discussion.
The eight most popular talents before had been knocked down by half by Qin Dewei, especially two of them, who were beaten so hard that they could not hold their heads up.
If you want to recommend candidates, Xia Yan will probably let Qin Dewei out to try his hand first."
Huo Tao suddenly felt that Qin Dewei was almost more annoying than Xia Yan in his mind.
