After making some last arrangements for the year before, Liu Chengfeng stopped talking with a straight face and made an appointment with everyone to have a drink together at his house some time later. Seeing that it was getting late, he announced that everyone should disperse.
When leaving the Qianshi Yamen, Li Dongdong followed Liu Chengfeng and suddenly said: "Have you ever thought about the internal arrangements of the pro-army after the New Year?".
Arrangements for the coming year...
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes. Of course he knew that Li Dongdong would never say meaningless words, especially with his serious tone. Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "What arrangement?"
Li Dongdong said: "There is a vacancy in the position of the commander of the pro-army guards. Who will take over? Also, the replacement must be the commander of the pro-military guards. From the students' point of view, our Jin Yiwei commander Mou Bin Mou also has a great influence."
Hope, behind him is Liu Jian. Although Liu Jian is retiring at home, his disciples and old officials are all over the government and the public. With his support, Commander Mou must have great hope.
If Commander Mou really takes charge of the Pro-Army Yamen this time, who will replace Commander Mou? Commander Mou's temperament is best to deal with. If a new Commander comes, he can still have such a good performance
When dealing with people, the most important thing is who will this commander be? Is it the cabinet or the nobles? Or maybe it is the palace. I am afraid that the Marquis has already made plans."
After listening to Li Dongdong's words, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but become cautious. Mou Bin withstood the pressure in this case and took the blame for the emperor. This can be regarded as a credit, and with his qualifications, he took over the pro-junyamen office.
There may not be anything wrong with the door, plus there is a backer behind it, so it can be said that the right time, place and people have taken advantage of everything, but now the problem has arisen, what will the Jin Yiwei be like without Mou Bin?
Liu Chengfeng is jealous of the commander's successor, but he knows it himself. His qualifications are too young. Although he has established prestige in the Jinyiwei, he has not yet reached the point where he can truly balance the forces of all parties.
, the palace will definitely not include him under consideration, otherwise there will be great opposition from the entire government and the public, and even within the Jinyiwei.
And who will be the new commander of the Imperial Guard?
Liu Chengfeng thought for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. Qualifications depended largely on age. If it had been a few years later, he might have had a chance. Now Commander Qianshi's buttocks are not yet hot, and there is no way he will have another chance.
There is hope for promotion, but if the Jinyiwei commander really wants to be replaced, it may not be a good thing.
Even so. *1*1* Liu Chengfeng couldn't influence Mou Bin's promotion for this reason. After being reminded by Li Dongdong, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but think. From the first to the fifteenth day of the new year, the capital may not be at peace.
, as long as the palace does not move out the appointment and dismissal system, the wrestling between all parties will certainly not stop.
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Li Dongdong and said: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, I'm afraid there will be another fight. What position does Mr. Li think my officer should take?"
Li Dongdong said: "My lord, there is only one way. Regardless of whether you are willing or not, you must help Commander Mou to be promoted to the commander of the army."
Liu Chengfeng deeply believed that. Li Dongdong's consideration was correct. If he hindered this matter, then the friendship he maintained with Mou Bin would be completely over. Mou Bin staying in Jinyiwei would not be beneficial to him. It would be better to simply give it to someone else.
Lift the sedan chair and take Mou Bin to the headquarters of the pro-army command. People will still remember your kindness.
As for what the future will be like, we can only take it one step at a time.
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "When you move back to Li Mansion today, ask around at Mr. Li's place to see what he means."
Li Dongdong nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. This matter is left to the students."
Liu Chengfeng stepped on the high stool and got into the car, saying: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Liu will be visiting. If you come early, you will definitely be too busy to touch the floor. Without you, Mr. Li, I won't be able to do anything."
I don’t know how to start.”
Li Dongdong smiled. His relationship with Liu Chengfeng had indeed reached an important level. Liu Chengfeng was not going to the banquet on behalf of the guests. He went there early to invite guests, but he was representing half of the host.
Liu Chengfeng has long sleeves and is good at dancing.
He nodded in agreement, and then the two of them got into their cars, and Liu Chengfeng went home without mentioning it.
The Lianzhou Marquis Mansion became extremely relaxed after the tension passed. When Liu Chengfeng came back, Zhu Yueluo and Wen Chenxi went to Beauty Square. It was not that they were busy wandering around today, in fact Liu Chengfeng was
I know the reason,
The New Year goods activity has begun in Beauty Square, that is, many stalls have been set up on both sides of the street, selling some New Year items, including New Year pictures, gifts, couplets, fresh fruits and vegetables, and many such as festive stickers and even red envelopes.
trivial things.
Although these things are sold everywhere, in previous years, those noble ladies and ladies would never leave the house. This kind of thing was done by servants, but there was nothing like the things bought by others.
It's good. In the past, even if you didn't like it, you had to hold your nose and admit it. But now, these people have taken the initiative. As the people in charge of the house, they go to Beauty Square to purchase these things in person, and the experience is different.
Needless to say, these ladies and ladies all come from big houses. Buying New Year's goods is not as simple as a few couplets, some fruits and vegetables or New Year pictures for a small family. If they like it, they will directly order one.
For cars, after all, there are a lot of rooms in a big house, and there are dozens or hundreds of couplets alone. The one with the biggest profit is
It is a gift. It is essential for wealthy families to give it back and forth during the Chinese New Year. To show their status, it is not something that a small family can fool with just a pound of bacon. For the sake of beauty, they have been designed based on various gift-giving objects.
I bought many gifts, including gold, silver, jade, etc. These goods have the highest value and are extremely profitable.
This event is very popular with them. They can not only join in the fun, but also buy New Year goods in person. The latest children's clothing in Beauty Square is even more popular. They need to buy new clothes during the New Year, especially for children from wealthy families.
Not to mention, it’s okay to let the servants do other things for you, but naturally you should choose the best clothes for your children.
Liu Chengfeng heard that the two ladies went to Beauty Square, but he didn't care. After all, this year, almost all the female relatives from every mansion went to Beauty Square in the past few days. This is a fashion, or it can be said that
, is a new way of life.
Liu Chengfeng's business is actually to change the living habits of various people in this era. For example, learning and reporting allowed gentry and readers to have the habit of reading the latest news every day. Jubaolou completely subverted merchants.
Our past trading habits, Beauty Square has brought about earth-shaking changes to the habits of women in this era.
The so-called fashion is actually to make money by leading the trend. The most profitable business in this world is to be at the forefront of the trend. When what you are selling becomes the object that everyone is flocking to, money will naturally flow in.
It's in your pocket and you can't get rid of it even if you try.
He sat alone in the room for a while. Someone came in with tea from outside, but it was Bi'er who brought it in person. Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Bi'er accompany Madam to Beauty House?"
Bi'er glanced at Liu Chengfeng, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Madam said that the Marquis will definitely come back early today and asked the slaves to prepare tea here..."
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Do I still need you to pour the tea? You don't have to serve me anymore. Go play."
Bi'er shook her head and gritted her teeth and said: "This can't be done. This is what His Highness ordered. I don't dare. Lord Marquis, are you reading? But you don't know what you are reading? The princess in the past also loved reading and taught me how to read.
Woolen cloth."
Liu Chengfeng put it down and said: "I read Zizhi Tongjian, and Yue Luo must have read it too."
Bi'er was speechless and said: "I seem to have read it, but I forgot. The princess was very pitiful in the past. She didn't have anyone close to her. When she was in the palace, everyone with a certain status rejected her, saying that she was from outside the palace.
…”
"Oh? Really?" Liu Chengfeng became interested and said, "Bring a chair to sit on and tell me how pitiful Yue Luo is."
Bi'er was not shy anymore and moved a chair to sit on. When talking about her wandering around with Zhu Yueluo, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, the princess, has a direct brother?"
"Yes, he is the prince of Zhou. He is still young and not as tall as me. But he is very smart and has a good relationship with His Highness. The prince is still..." A sad look appeared on Bi'er's face: "In the past
The prince actually likes him, but since they renewed their relationship, the new princess has been trying to trick him into something, and she has become more and more bad to the prince. Later we went to Nanchang, and we don’t know what news there is about the prince. In fact, the princess has always been
They all miss him and say he is their only relative in the world."
Liu Chengfeng's face became a little unhappy. He suddenly understood why King Zhou refused to let Yue Luo's mother and concubine move to the royal tomb even after being bitten to death last time. I'm afraid it also involves the issue of heirs and status.
factor.
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng's expression was not very good, Bi'er said cautiously: "Master Hou, aren't you happy after hearing this? If Master Hou is unhappy, I won't say anything."
Liu Chengfeng shook his head and said slowly: "It's not that he's unhappy, it's just that he suddenly thought of something on his mind. The Crown Prince of Zhou is already quite young, but he has never come to Beijing to meet the emperor. Sooner or later, he will inherit the throne.
For the throne, let him come to the capital to see the world."
Bi'er said in surprise: "The prince is coming to the capital?"
Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said: "There is nothing wrong with this matter. Don't talk nonsense about it. Even the princess has to hide it. I will find a way."
