Chapter 27 The Disciple of the Zongheng Family, Zhang Yi
Xia Kingdom, in Jiangcheng Mansion.
Feng Chu silently put down the secret letter in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:
"Urgent report from the capital, your majesty, your majesty... has passed away. His highness is already in the capital, surrounded by hundreds of officials, and has ascended the throne as emperor!"
In the hall, the embroiderers couldn't help but look happy when they heard this, but then they felt that the atmosphere was not very good, so they quickly suppressed the joy in their hearts and showed a heavy expression.
They, the embroidered envoys, had already loyal to Yu Zhaoling when he was still King Qi. Their contribution to the establishment of Conglong Yong was very important. After Yu Zhaoling ascended the throne, their official power was already confirmed, how could they not be overjoyed?
It was at this time that Feng Chu thought about Emperor Daxing's kindness to him in the past, and showed sadness, otherwise the embroiderers under him would probably celebrate loudly.
Feng Chu's eyes were sad, he sighed and said:
"Emperor Daxing passed away, and everyone in the country needs to pay tribute. I ordered people to prepare white cloth, I'm afraid it will be gone after a while!"
"yes!"
After a while, Feng Fangfang finally put away the heavy thoughts in his heart, raised his head and glanced at the embroiderers present, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, no, His Majesty the new emperor has issued a decree that I will be appointed as the first-grade embroidery envoy. I will return to Beijing today and take charge of the embroidery envoy!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the embroidered messengers in front of them became even more happy.
The power of the embroidery envoy is too great, so the position of first-grade embroidery envoy was rarely established in the previous dynasties, and was basically controlled by the eunuchs who were close to the emperor. Yu Zhaoling was able to grant such a position to Feng Chu, so he naturally did not need to trust him.
Talk a lot.
And since Yu Zhaoling can be so kind to Feng Chu because of his support and assistance, then the rest of his subordinates will naturally not treat him poorly. No wonder these embroidered clothes make them excited and happy!
All the embroiderers hurriedly saluted together and congratulated:
"Subordinate, congratulations, sir!"
Feng Chu, who usually kept his emotions secretive, couldn't help but reveal a smile at this time.
After a while, he coughed lightly and warned his subordinates:
"I am about to return to the capital. The Yun Kingdom in the southwest is watching with eager eyes. The spies of the Yun Kingdom in Jiangcheng Mansion are extremely rampant. Therefore, even if I leave, you and others must not relax your vigilance! If you are negligent, you will be severely punished!"
After sternly scolding, Feng Chu glanced at everyone's expressions, and his tone softened again, saying:
"Nowadays, there is a lot of turmoil in the embroidery department in the capital, and many positions are vacant. You can also be regarded as His Majesty's people. As long as you work hard and have merit, the day when you return to the capital with honor will not be far away!"
Knock first, then draw a pie. This method of motivating your subordinates has always been tried and true!
After hearing Feng Chu's words, the morale of the embroiderers was immediately shaken, and they said in unison again:
"When my subordinates know this, they will keep it in mind and do their best to repay His Majesty!"
After hearing this, Feng Chu nodded with satisfaction and waved for everyone to leave.
When only Feng Chu was left in the hall, he suddenly saw another person walking out of the inner hall. Shi Shiran bowed to Feng Chu and said with a smile:
"Gong, please follow Brother Feng's arrangements this time!"
Feng Chu looked at the middle-aged man dressed like a scholar in front of him, quickly stood up to help him, and said to him solemnly:
"Yingzong, I have received a letter from my former colleague. The newly promoted second-grade embroiderer Zhong Zizuo has been making frequent moves. Now he is cleaning up the embroiderers in Jinling City. I always feel that something is wrong! So this time,
I must return to Beijing as soon as possible!"
Speaking of this, Feng Chu had a look of shame on his face and said:
"But Jiangcheng Mansion is extremely important. It is related to the stability of the southwest defense line, and there must be no room for failure. In desperation, I have no choice but to ask you to come out and help me. I really feel sorry for disturbing Xian Xianyuyehe's Qingxiu.
Ashamed..."
When the middle-aged man named Gong Yingzong heard this, he laughed, shook his head and said:
"Brother Feng, don't be like this. The reason why I came out this time is definitely not because of my friendship with Brother Feng! I heard that my former senior brother has entered Jixia Academy in Yun Kingdom. Although I am an abandoned disciple of the Zongheng family,
But the tradition of the sect should not be taken lightly. So I naturally want to take this opportunity to have a good fight with my former senior brother and compete with each other!"
Only from Gong Yingzong's mouth can we know that he is an abandoned disciple of the Zongheng family. This time, he left the mountain only because someone from the Zongheng family entered the Jixia Academy of the Yun State, so he took refuge in the Xia State and wanted to use this to compete with him.
Ichiban...
When Feng Chu heard this, he smiled slightly and continued:
"I am well aware of Brother Gong's talents. However, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public when he suddenly reaches a high position. So this time, I only arranged for Brother Gong to be a fifth-grade embroidered cloth envoy, and also assigned a team of embroidered cloth envoys to listen to him.
As long as you make some achievements, I will gradually entrust all matters in Jiangcheng Mansion to Brother Gong!"
Hearing this, Gong Yingzong smiled nonchalantly and said:
"It's not a big deal about the official position, it's just..."
When Feng Chu saw this, he quickly said:
"Just what?"
"It's just that I ask Brother Feng to give me the right to do things conveniently. In addition, I also need Brother Feng to give me the embroidery envoy's command talisman so that I can mobilize other embroidery envoys to take action when necessary!"
Although these four words "acting cheaply" are inconspicuous, there are a lot of things to do in it! In addition, Gong Yingzong also asked for the command talisman to temporarily mobilize the other embroidery envoys.
But faced with such a request, Feng Chu nodded without hesitation and said:
"Okay, give it all to Brother Gong!"
Hearing this, Gong Yingzong showed a smile on his face and said:
"Brother Feng is so trusting, I am really moved! In this case, I should also send you a congratulatory gift!"
Feng Chu's eyelids twitched and he said in surprise:
"Congratulatory gift?"
Gong Yingzong smiled calmly and said:
"Previously, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy persuaded the leader of Tubo's Lang clan to send troops to Xiangzhou County and occupy the land of three counties. He wanted to use this to provoke a conflict between Tubo and Yun Kingdom. But unfortunately, this plan failed. The Lord of Tubo
Abandon Nie Qi and bow his head in submission, and send envoys to follow the Yun State envoy to Zhongqing City to pay homage to Emperor Yun!"
Hearing this, Feng Chu nodded and said in a deep voice:
"This matter was promoted by the Fourteenth Princess! The Fourteenth Princess is admirable for her brilliant wit and superb methods... Alas, it's a pity that during the turmoil in the capital, people from the Yun Kingdom found her traces and took advantage of the chaos to assassinate her. Since then, her reputation has disappeared.
The death of Jade is really sad!”
Gong Yingzong obviously didn't have much interest in the dead Yu Yingyao, and just said to himself:
"Tubo intends to make peace with the Yun Kingdom, and now it has sent envoys to Zhongqing City with gold, silver, and treasures. The Lord of Tubo abandoned Nie Qi to show that he has no hostility to the Yun Kingdom, and ordered the Tubo envoys to carry
A snow lion, a strange beast that was just presented to him, as a tribute to Emperor Yun!"
When Feng Chu heard this, he became even more confused. He frowned slightly and immediately asked in a deep voice:
"Yingzong might as well say it clearly!"
Gong Yingzong stood up straight and said loudly:
"In Tubo mythology, the snow lion is a powerful monster in charge of the snow-capped mountains. Many tribes in Tubo even regard it as a god and are unwilling to contribute this snow lion to the Yun Kingdom... In addition, abandoning
Nie Qi's attempt to seize the royal power of Tubo was not supported by the Tubo tribe. So I thought if I could use this to make a fuss. If arranged properly, it should create a trace of resentment between the Yun Kingdom and Tubo!"
Hearing this, Feng Chu's eyes flashed with excitement and he immediately said:
"Okay! How to plan, please ask Yingzong to come up with a charter as soon as possible. Before returning to Beijing, I want to finalize this matter!"
As long as it can divert Yun Guo's attention so that it cannot send troops to attack the southwest defense line without any scruples, Feng Chu will not hesitate to use all the power at his disposal!——
In the Imperial Palace of Zhongqing City, in the Hall of Yangxin.
The old man, who was over sixty years old and had gray hair, but had an extraordinary bearing. At this time, with the young disciple behind him, he bowed to Xiao Cheng, fell to the ground, and said:
"Zhang Yue, the strategist, and his disciple Zhang Yi, pay homage to His Majesty Emperor Dayun!"
Xiao Cheng sat on the dragon chair, glanced at Zhang Yue, and then looked at the young disciple standing behind him. A smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to support him:
"Mr. Zhang, don't be so polite. Get up!"
Throughout the generations of the Zongheng family, there have always been two disciples, each wielding the black and white swords, vertical and horizontal. After they were born, there was a fierce battle between the two descendants, using the world as a chess game to sharpen each other's skills and ingenuity.
It's just that Zhang Yue, the heir to the Zongheng family of this generation, is a bit strange. He wields two black and white swords, Zongheng and Heng, and walks around the world, rarely revealing his traces.
It is precisely because of this that no members of the Zongheng family have taken action in the past few decades, which makes the reputation of this political lineage, one of the top ten families, even less prominent!
After Jixia Academy was founded, Zhang Yue originally did not plan to enter Jixia Academy. In the end, he lost a bet to Liu Bowen, so he followed Liu Bowen to Zhongqing City.
As for the young scholar behind Zhang Yue, he was a disciple that Zhang Yue accepted in Jixia Academy.
Only Xiao Cheng could see Zhang Yi's attributes on the golden finger panel.
[Zhang Yi, a famous political strategist, diplomat and strategist during the Warring States Period. In his early years, he entered Guiguzi’s sect and learned the art of vertical and horizontal. He pioneered the diplomatic strategy of "Lianheng" and lobbied the six countries to join the Qin Dynasty. He was appreciated by King Huiwen of Qin and was granted the title of "Zhang Yi".
As the Prime Minister, he was ordered to send envoys to lobby various countries to encourage them to be friendly to the Qin State, and was named King Wu Xin for his merits. After the death of King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin succeeded to the throne, Zhang Yi lost favor, fled Wei, and served as the Prime Minister. He died the next year.

Jixia Academy - 1. The special building "Jixia Academy" can be built; 2. Famous ministers from hundreds of schools of thought can be refreshed immediately, and the probability is related to the imperial power...]
The Dika that Xiao Cheng is currently equipped with comes with the skills of Jixia Academy, and can lead to the emergence of famous ministers from hundreds of families.
Although the probability is very impressive, apart from Wu Zixu at the beginning of the construction, there is only Zhang Yi in front of me! But I have to say that the quality is really good, better than the blue cards and white cards that Xiao Cheng drew.
Too many!
That is to say, because Zhang Yi was newly born in Jixia Academy and he met Zhang Yue somehow, through some combination of circumstances, he regained his identity as a disciple of the Strategist family. To a certain extent, he could be regarded as
Destined somewhere!
When the two of them stood up, Xiao Cheng said warmly:
"I don't know that Mr. Zhang wants to meet with me, but what mistakes have been made in China's policy recently? Do you want to correct them?"
As the only contemporary descendant of the strategist family, Zhang Yue entered Jixia Academy, so naturally he also had the title of bachelor. According to the edict for seeking talents previously issued by Xiao Cheng, Zhang Yue can criticize national policies at will, and
No guilt will be asked.
Upon hearing Xiao Cheng's inquiry, Zhang Yue immediately shook his head and said:
"I'm not a political advisor here, and His Majesty's administration is efficient, so I don't have the ability to find out what needs to be corrected. The reason why I came here today is actually because of another matter!"
Having said this, Zhang Yue paused slightly, took a deep breath, and then said:
"I came to see Your Majesty today because I received a letter from Gong Yingzong, the former abandoned disciple of my political advisor. The letter clearly stated that he has surrendered to the Xia Kingdom and wants to compete with me using all the countries in the world as a chess game.
!”
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng frowned.
Good fellow, are you using all the countries in the world as a chess game? Among hundreds of schools of thought, only the strategists can say such grand words!
Zhang Yue continued:
"Before he was expelled from the school, Gong Yingzong was the most outstanding person in the Zongheng family in recent generations. His talents are endless, and he has been inherited from the Zongheng lineage. His martial arts, methods, and resourcefulness are all top-notch! Now he is
Because I was in the Jixia Academy, I turned to the Xia Kingdom and made an agreement with Zizixia that I wanted to use the southwest as a bet to distinguish the vertical and horizontal lines..."
The reason why Zhang Yue came to Xiao Cheng to report the matter at this time was probably because he had no intention of rejecting the bet agreed by Gong Yingzong and wanted to use the power of Yun Guo to have a game with him.
Xiao Cheng's brows were raised slightly, a slight smile appeared on his face, but he didn't speak for a long time.
This big cloud is my big cloud! Why does it have to become a chess game for your political advisor? Could it be that without you, Zhang Yue, no one in the huge Yun Kingdom can deal with that Gong Yingzong?
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng turned his head slightly, looked at Zhang Yi next to Zhang Yue, and said:
"In the cabinet around me now, there is a shortage of outstanding talents like Mr. Zhang's disciples. I am passionate about talents and intend to let Zhang Yi stay by my side and take orders. I wonder what Mr. Zhang thinks?"
Zhang Yue couldn't help being stunned when he heard Xiao Cheng's words.
The disciples of the Zongheng family of all generations are all outstanding people in the world! The kings of all dynasties are all happy to receive their assistance.
In Zhang Yue's original vision, Emperor Dayun, whose message of virtuous and talented people spread throughout the world, should have happily accepted his allegiance and immediately entrusted him with important responsibilities.
Why is it that now, he is avoiding his own problems and focusing on his disciples?
Zhang Yue's heart sank slightly, and after pondering for a moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood the key. What he just said was somewhat inappropriate.
Perhaps in the heart of the young emperor in front of him, only he is qualified to use the world as a chessboard. As for the rest, they are just chess pieces!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue suddenly felt regretful for his mistake.
No, you have to do your best to remedy it!
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yue immediately changed the topic and replied without mentioning what he just said:
"If Your Majesty is interested, it would be my disciple's honor!"
When Zhang Yi heard what his teacher said, his eyes flickered and his heart moved. He quickly leaned over to salute and said:
"Zhang Yi, thank you Your Majesty!"
There are no more 5,000 words today. The air conditioner is broken. I have to find someone to fix it in the middle of the night...
