"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have known Li Jianxian for many years. He is the number one master among the Blood Wolf Bandits and the master of the leader of the Blood Wolf Bandits, King Li Lang. His prestige among the Blood Wolf Bandits is no less than that of King Li Lang."
.Furthermore, has His Majesty forgotten that Li Jianxian and the court swordsman of our dynasty, Miss Yan Shiniang?
We have a deep relationship. As long as the Holy One can convince Miss Yan and have her help, I will be more confident." The long-bearded scribe in his fifties, wearing a crimson official robe and a square crown with feathers on his head, shook his head as he spoke.
Shake it three times, and the long feathers on its head will tremble.
This person is none other than Feng Yanji, the leader of the Five Ghosts. He is currently a Hanlin bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy. He holds a high position and is also a popular figure in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The reason why Feng Yanji has achieved his current status has a lot to do with his knowledge and experience. Although his political talents are mediocre, he writes good words and articles, and is very famous in the contemporary literary world.
Gao. He also lived with Emperor Bao Da in his youth.
In addition, he was very good at flattering people, so after Li Jing became the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he also rose with the tide and became a popular figure in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the court, Li Jing was always respected as the "Prime Minister" by the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Zhongshu made Song Qiqiu dislike him.
Emperor Baoda Li Jing picked up a memorial on the desk, looked at it, handed it to Feng Yan and frowned at the same time: "Zhongzhong, if you can handle this matter well, kill for me these people who don't take me seriously."
Bandits, I naturally believe what you say. If it doesn't work out, well, you can see for yourself. As for Yan Sword Master, I can't guarantee that I can hire her."
When Emperor Bao Dad mentioned the seriousness, his tone was cruel and terrifying. When he mentioned Yan Shiniang, he felt a lot of helplessness that could not be concealed.
The cold sweat on Feng Yanji's forehead fell instantly. The memorial he held in his hand was from Song Qiuqiu. The memorial clearly stated that there were several domineering and sycophantic ministers in the court.
People denounced it, and even in the market there was a flood of curses.
Qi Qiu of the Song Dynasty petitioned Emperor Bao Da to depose the "Five Ghosts and Four Fiends" that were widely circulated among the people. These "Five Ghosts and Four Fiends" are all standing here today.
Feng Yan had read the memorial hastily and was trembling with anger. Even though it was a very cold day, cold sweat kept flowing out from his forehead. He didn't bother to wipe it, and knelt down in front of Emperor Bao with a plop, tears and runny nose.
When the old man appeared on his face, he also wailed: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. That old man Song Qiqiu is slandering me. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by his words, but you must believe in my innocence!"
Emperor Bao Dad helplessly smiled and scolded: "Old man Feng, you are already dozens of years old, why do you still have such a rogue temper? Who is of the same mind as me, who is playing tricks with me, I have a clear mind, so I don't need your presence.
Howling here? I just want to remind you that this Kang Long and Zhu Yuanlang make me very unhappy. I must see them buried in the East China Sea before I can feel at ease."
Chen Jue, the censor Zhongcheng, hurriedly said to the side: "Your Majesty, Master Feng sent the Xuan Gong masters in the rivers and lakes to the Blood Lake Island in the East China Sea to find Li Jianxian in the morning. Those Xuan Gong masters are different from us ordinary people. All of them are different.
He is a knight who travels thousands of miles every day, so he can send news back in one day and one night."
Feng Yanji's younger brother Feng Yanlu smiled flatteringly at the side and said: "Your Majesty, I was also ordered by my brother to send masters who are proficient in the Japanese language to Shazhou Island as early as yesterday. Now that the Japanese pirates have occupied Shazhou Island, these beggars want to
To leave by boat, we must enter the sea from Shazhou Island.
The master released the news. Didn't these beggars capture Feiyu Island some time ago and allegedly emptied all the treasures hidden by Lianyun Jiao on Feiyu Island? Hehe, I believe that as long as those Japanese people know the news, they will definitely take it.
They swallowed it whole, bone and bone!"
After hearing Feng Yanlu's words, Emperor Bao Dad finally showed a smile on his face and said happily: "Well, I am very pleased. I didn't expect that Xiao Feng, you also have such a strategy. Now is the time for me to employ people, and you are also in the Hanlin Academy."
Have you been here for a while? Old man Feng, after all, he is your clan brother. When the court meets in a few days, you can propose that he be allowed to take charge of the Privy Council."
Feng Yanlu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he just did a trivial thing, but he was favored by the saints and finally got through the Hanlin Academy. Feng Yanlu was of course very happy. If Feng Yanlu could successfully enter the Privy Council, it would mean that the five ghosts could
He began to intervene in military affairs and further restricted Song Qiqiu's power until he was marginalized and squeezed out of the Southern Tang court.
When several people heard what Emperor Bao Dad said, they all had different thoughts and were making up their own minds. However, Emperor Bao Dad yawned and said: "Because of these thieves, I have not been interested in doing anything for several days.
, Seeing that the New Year is approaching and the sky is nice today, why not
How about having a meandering water drinking banquet in the back garden? It’s still the old rule, whoever can’t compose poetry is punished by dressing up as a turtle and climbing up and down the Jade Mountain, haha! Last time, Xiao Feng, you were a turtle for a day.
It’s been a whole day of climbing, I have to live up to my expectations this time!”
The so-called "Meandering Water Drinking Banquet" is a favorite poetry game among literati. Find a winding path and a spring with flowing water, put a cup of wine in the upper reaches of the flowing water, and let it float with the water.
Go down and float in front of someone, whoever brings it, mixes it with a poem or composes a lyric to help the drinking. Of course, at such a banquet, various difficulties and obstacles can also be set up, and stipulations can be made to those who cannot compose a poem.
Punishment makes it more interesting.
How could the five ghosts dare to lose their temper? They all clapped in agreement. Li Jing became more excited and ordered the little eunuch who was accompanying him to change his clothes. After the five ghosts knelt down one after another, they withdrew, intending to go back to their respective government offices to change into regular clothes and escort them.
The emperor prepared wine and poems in the imperial garden.
The five people left the palace, talking loudly as they walked, completely losing the nervousness they had just been in the palace. Feng Yanlu chuckled and said: "Brother, I didn't expect this trick of yours to be really effective. I just mentioned it before the Holy One, and the Holy One actually
Once you are happy, you will reuse your younger brother.:
Feng Yan already waved his sleeves calmly and walked in the front. Hearing this, he turned around and glanced at him with disdain, and lectured: "Second brother, don't get carried away. The Lord is very concerned about this matter. If you can't do the job well,
Let alone mentioning your official position now, I will still chop off your head when the time comes. Don’t you still understand the temper of the Holy One?”
When Feng Yanlu was reminded by him, he seemed to remember something. He trembled all over and turned pale. They both grew up with Li Jing since childhood, so they naturally knew what kind of person he was.
"But you don't have to worry too much. As long as the people you send out can release the news on time, it will be considered as done. Don't worry about them not taking action. Huh, I know those Japanese people very well. They are cunning and greedy.
How can you let go of the fat meat that comes to your mouth? These beggars are doomed this time!"
"Yes, they are dead!" The other people nodded in agreement.
"The three of you will help the second brother later. He has limited things in his stomach, but the Lord seems to be interested in using the second son this time. This is a good thing for us. We must seize the opportunity. As long as we can get involved and march.
If you don’t do anything, you no longer have to be afraid of Song Qiqiu, the old man
Something." Feng Yanji said coldly. Every time he came out of the palace, he seemed to be a different person. When he was in the palace, he was a modest, elegant, temperamental and talented gentleman. But when he left the palace,
When he came out, he immediately became a moody and powerful person.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm sure those beggars will die without burial this time! I'll send someone over later to see the actual situation."
