In fact, there have been quite a few people visiting the house in the past few days, especially from the Jinyi Guards. After all, something suddenly happened in the guard house. It is only natural to celebrate. The two of them, Zhang Si Li and his son, and many Jinyi Guards.
Thousands or hundreds of households came, and many of them were promoted by Liu Chengfeng. They were not unfamiliar and were directly invited into the flower hall in the backyard to sit and talk.
After all, Jinyiwei is a secret service agency with a wide range of eyes and ears. During the conversation, Liu Chengfeng got a rough idea of what was going on in the capital.
The capital has not been peaceful recently, especially the cabinet. It is said that although everything in the cabinet seems to be peaceful on the surface, there seems to be a fierce secret war over a governor of the Xuanfu. Li Dongyang is just that, but Xie Qian is a person who accepts death. As for the new member of the cabinet
Liu Ji seemed to be thinking of the first three things he would do when a new official takes office, and he must win over the governor no matter what, so that he can establish his own prestige.
However, Liu Chengfeng could just watch this kind of thing coldly. Liu Chengfeng thought about it. After meeting Liu Jian according to the order, he took his wife to Yingchunfang for fun. This time when he returned to the capital, Yingchunfang had become the capital.
It is said that both merchants and scholars rushing to take exams like to go there. Wen Chenxi has always wanted to go there, but she is a female immigrant after all, and it is not convenient without her husband to accompany her.
Liu Chengfeng promised, and got up early that morning, took Gao Qiang and two guards out and went directly to Liu's mansion. Liu Jian's mansion was not far away, and its size was only small for dignitaries.
Average, but Liu Chengfeng doesn’t believe in Liu Jian
Without making any money, officials like them have accumulated a lot of wealth in more than ten years. However, Liu Chengfeng estimates that most people like Liu Jian who have money will go back to their hometown to buy land, or how to make money.
What about feudal society? Land is the foundation.
However, whether Liu Jian makes money or not has nothing to do with Liu Chengfeng. No matter how hard he makes money, he still needs the treatment of a famous official. In all dynasties, except for Hai Rui, who is a stickler for the past, who wouldn't take advantage of him? It's just that some people don't have careers.
Morality means not doing anything after making money. Some people still have some ideals and ambitions besides making money.
Liu Jian is the best among the latter. He enjoys what should be enjoyed; don't miss him for a penny; but he not only does what should be done, but also often exceeds the task. Such a person
, simply a model for Ming officials.
Liu Chengfeng arrived outside the Liu Mansion and handed over the name card. The disciples saw the name on the name card and couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengfeng. Obviously they didn't expect that Lianzhou Marquis would come to visit, but they didn't dare to neglect and entered the mansion quickly.
The notification has been sent.
Liu Chengfeng didn't know that in the Liu Mansion's study, Xie Qian was pounding the table angrily, while Liu Jian smiled bitterly, lowered his voice and consoled him: "Yu Qiao, if you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
Xie Qian said fiercely: "Tell me slowly? What is there to say now! That Liu Ji is really shameless. A head of the Ministry of War dared to ask him to be the governor of the Xuanfu. If he hadn't suppressed him in the Ministry of Personnel, God knows what would have happened.
What's the matter? Just like this, he is still plausibly talking about demoting talents in an eclectic way.
Tsk tsk, what kind of talent is that surnamed Zhuang? Isn't he his disciple? I opposed him in the cabinet, but he is good. Now he is making an excuse to make a fuss about Jiangxi's disaster relief. He wants to make a fool of himself and attack the west, deliberately attacking Jiangxi.
If you create obstacles for us, don't you just want us to compromise on the Xuanfu matter."
After hearing this, Liu Jian roughly understood what was going on. In fact, Liu Ji was a well-rounded person and greeted everyone he met with a smile. However, just after joining the cabinet, he was so tough on Xuanfu. He must have used Xuanfu to do so.
The appointment and dismissal of the governor of the government was used to show that he was the new governor.
The importance of a bachelor's degree. Li Dongyang was a man of great resourcefulness but weak personality. He was probably trying to maintain the stability of the cabinet and made peace with him. When Li Dongyang showed weakness, Xie Qian was naturally dissatisfied. However, he couldn't argue with Li Dongyang, so he came to find him.
He complained.
Liu Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not like you don't know what kind of temper Liu Ji is, why are you still arguing with him? I don't know how many people are watching the cabinet's joke now. Binzhi is not wrong. The top priority right now is still
Not because
The discord in the cabinet is a joke, but having said that, the post of governor of Xuanfu is very important, and Liu Ji cannot be left to appoint private individuals. Let’s take it one step at a time. Binzhi also has his own difficulties, and you should be more considerate.
Some."
Xie Qian couldn't help but sit down and sighed: "If Liu Gong was here, how could there be room for Liu Mianhua? Liu Mianhua was notorious during the Chenghua period. He never thought that such a person would one day rise again."
Liu Jian didn't speak anymore. The palace clearly asked him to go home to recuperate, but in fact, he didn't mean to shut himself up and think about his past. What could he say now? He couldn't help but sigh and was speechless for a moment.
At this time, a servant from outside came over and said, "Sir, the Marquis of Lianzhou wants to see you."
"Marquis of Lianzhou..." Liu Jian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a hint of complexity flashed across his old eyes, and then he looked at each other with Xie Qian. Xie Qian also became alert and couldn't help but sneered: "What? He's here to see a joke?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "It's okay to meet him, let's see what he says. Go and invite the Marquis of Lianzhou in."
After a while, footsteps were heard outside. Liu Jian stood up and went out. Xie Qian smiled contemptuously and was still sitting in the study. When Liu Jian left the study, he saw Liu Chengfeng being led towards him.
Liu Jian smiled slightly and said to Liu Chengfeng: "The Marquis of Lianzhou is very interested in coming to my mansion. I'm sorry that I can't welcome him from afar."
Liu Chengfeng's sudden return to Beijing had actually puzzled Liu Jian for a long time. Now he came to visit again, which made Liu Jian even more confused about what kind of tricks this person was playing. However, Liu Jian had a deep temper. Although he was suspicious in his heart, his face was full of doubts.
Without revealing anything, Liu Chengfeng was politely welcomed into the study.
Naturally, Liu Chengfeng could not help but be polite to this scholar. In fact, Liu Chengfeng's status was much inferior to that of Liu Jian. One was a bachelor who was respected by everyone in the court, and the other was a notorious imperial guard.
, even if Liu Chengfeng didn't know how high the sky was, he still had to say a few polite words.
Entering the study, he didn't expect that Xie Qian was there, so Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to salute Xie Qian and said, "I've met Mr. Xie."
Xie Qian originally wanted to show off his face, but Liu Chengfeng was so polite that his face turned red and he had to stand up and said: "Oh, this is the Marquis of Lianzhou, there is no need to be polite."
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Chengfeng sat on the chair and looked first at Liu Jian and then at Xie Qian. How could he not know that both of them were testing his intentions?
Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and said: "The official came this time to bring the emperor's wishes and convey some words to Mr. Liu."
When he said this, Liu Jian and Xie Qian couldn't sit still. Liu Jian quickly said solemnly: "I don't know, Your Majesty..."
To be honest, he was quite nervous. Ever since that incident happened, there had been a gap between the emperor and his ministers. Liu Jian was not sure what the emperor was thinking at this time.
Liu Chengfeng said seriously: "Your Majesty asked Mr. Liu, did Mr. Liu remember the oath that Your Majesty made to make an appointment with Mr. Liu when he ascended the throne?"
Liu Jian was shocked, and the look in his eyes became more complicated, and he said: "Old minister... I remember."
Liu Chengfeng continued: "Your Majesty also said that Mr. Liu has worked hard for so many years, and your Majesty will keep it all in mind. Mr. Liu has lived up to your Majesty, and your Majesty will never let Mr. Liu down."
After saying these words, even Xie Qian was moved. His Majesty's meaning was very clear. The palace had long forgotten about Liu Jian, and Liu Jian's holy family members had not disappeared because of this.
Liu Jian couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "How dare I forget the grace of your Majesty's knowledge..."
Liu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him: "What are you doing, Mr. Liu? In fact, Your Majesty asked Mr. Liu to recuperate at home this time. One of the reasons is to protect him. Mr. Liu has worked hard these years and deserves a rest."
"
That's what Liu Chengfeng said, but it sounded different to Liu Jian. The so-called love and protection could be the sword dance of King Ning Xiangzhuang, but this time it was directed at Liu Jian. On the cusp of this storm,
Simply let him take care of himself at home to save King Ning from pressing him every step of the way?
Liu Chengfeng continued: "The second one is Prince Ning..."
Both Liu Jian and Xie Qian were in awe. On this occasion, in front of the two pavilion elders, they directly mentioned Prince Ning. The meaning was obvious that the palace's patience with Prince Ning had reached its limit.
Liu Chengfeng said sternly: "Prince Ning often harbors a grudge against the imperial court. Your Majesty has long known this, but he has been hiding it because of the family's feelings. But now, Prince Ning is so bold that your Majesty can no longer do it."
Tolerated."
Xie Qian said coldly: "What? Is the imperial court preparing to suppress the rebellion? Why don't I know this?"
It is not so easy to deal with King Ning. If it were other vassal kings, it would be easier to say that they could be punished with an imperial edict. However, King Ning has deep roots in Jiangxi and has as many as seven guards in the palace. In addition, after years of management,
, I don’t know how many Xiaoxiao people have been taken in. Once the order is given to arrest them, will King Ning just surrender? So once he takes action against King Ning, it means the beginning of the rebellion. The court is not prepared to suppress the rebellion, so it must not act rashly.
Both Liu Jian and Xie Qian knew this.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but said: "It's not even a matter of rebelling. His Majesty is already ready to beat this King Ning. Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie, you humiliate me to death. King Ning repeatedly bumps into your Majesty. After a while, King Ning will probably
I will enter the capital, and when that time comes, why not give Prince Ning some color?"
"Prince Ning is coming to Beijing?" Liu Jian was confused.
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "Please wait and see, Mr. Liu, at home for now. Your Majesty will be of use to you when the time comes."
