Chapter 386 Being an Official
Chapter 386 Being an Official
The next day in the court hall, no sound was heard about King Hui, and no one reported it, just like a stone thrown into the river without any splash.
King Yu and King Hui stood one behind the other. Even a step away, Gu Xingyan could feel the aura of these two people, and they were tense, but it didn't happen in the court hall.
After going to court, Gu Xingyan went to Wende Hall.
The emperor was curious, this son was not someone who would take the initiative to find trouble, so he couldn't help but asked: "Is something wrong?"
Gu Xingyan nodded and said: "General Qilin has not gone to court today, so I asked my son to speak to my father."
"Oh, it's rare to summon a prince, so you should listen to him."
Gu Xingyan lowered his head and said, "Didn't the father ask his son to follow him?"
The emperor nodded and said, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"
Gu Xingyan said officially: "Father, King Hui was assassinated yesterday. When the accident happened, the patrol camp arrived quickly, but not a shadow of the killer was seen. According to the description of the people who saw it, it was a few strong men who suddenly attacked. , King Hui couldn’t dodge and was injured. Fortunately, there were masters around King Hui. Seeing that the assassination failed, those people quickly withdrew."
At this time, the emperor's eyebrows were twisted into the Chinese character "Chuan", his eyebrows were cold, and he said: "Well, what message do you want to convey?"
Gu Xingyan said: "General Qilin said that this matter must be an unsolved case, and there is no way to investigate it. If you are thinking in the direction of a political enemy, you can doubt King Yu, but King Yu's hands can only hurt people's flesh, which is too useless. No Exclude anyone from making a painful show to exclude dissidents."
After hearing this, the emperor's eyebrows relaxed a little and he said, "Are these words said by Baili Jimo?"
Gu Xingyan nodded and said: "There are some things that are difficult for him to say. It is appropriate for my son and my father to discuss it."
"Well, continue."
"Nowadays, Bianjing seems peaceful, but it is full of factions and intrigues. This unstable factor lies in the uncertainty. If you want stability, the decision-making power lies with the emperor."
The emperor heard it, pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "He is so courageous. If he speaks out, I really have to reprimand him for being bold."
Gu Xingyan half understood, so he just took it as he said.
The emperor looked at Gu Xingyan and suddenly asked: "Who do you think is suitable to be the crown prince?"
Gu Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "I don't dare to make rash comments."
How disappointed was the emperor in being so fearful? He said, "Go back, I know."
"Yes. My son, please retire."
The emperor watched Gu Xingyan leave, and then said to Eunuch Yu: "Yu Huai, who do you think is suitable to be the heir apparent?"
Yu Huai said the same: "I don't dare to make rash comments."
"Old man, since I asked you to speak, I won't blame you."
Yu Huai said: "Written King Yu, he is proficient in court affairs. Over the years, what King Yu has done for the court is good, and the people also praise him a lot. King Hui, no matter how down-to-earth, is pragmatic, he does whatever the emperor orders. Everything is done beautifully. King Yan is also good, kind-hearted, and usually does not fight or fight. The emperor usually thinks that he has not grown up, so he does not assign affairs to him. Even if he does not go out for a trip, the things he does are also beautiful. "
The emperor nodded, and then hummed: "I have said so much, but I have not mentioned the main point."
Yu Huai immediately knelt down and said cautiously: "I really don't dare to make unreasonable comments."
"That's all, that's all. I won't embarrass you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Huai stood up.
The emperor asked again: "How about Baili Jimo?"
Yu Huai dared to speak here, giving a thumbs up and said: "The key to being bold and careful is to dare to speak and do. There is no such thing in the court."
The emperor nodded and said: "This is the first time I have met such a minister."
……
Xie Yunxiao brought Feng Zhuohua back home. This time, the Yu Feng family really made up for their regrets. I thought back on how much the two elders had done for their children, but today's experience is the end of all hardships.
Xie Yunxiao, Feng Jinzhao, and Feng Zhuoming were in the study room. The three of them were chatting about daily life and other business matters.
The official business was for Feng Jinzhao to be an official. Feng Jinzhao never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to be an official. He said: "Son-in-law, you think I'm not young, and I don't seem to be an official?" He is used to teaching and knows a lot. He is usually in awe of his parents and officials, but he feels that he is still a little bit behind.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Yunxiao knew that Feng Jinzhao was timid, and said: "If you don't want to be an official, I will go to Jinling to retire. To be honest, I usually offend a lot of people, so I can't guarantee that no one will be disadvantageous to you. I asked you to be an official." There just happened to be a gap, and the matter of buying officials and conferring titles was related to the corrupt officials that King Yan had dealt with. After this time, it will not be easy to become an official again in the future, and the opportunity will be rare."
Feng Jinzhao asked: "Do you have a way?"
Xie Yunxiao said calmly: "There is an acquaintance."
Feng Jinzhao looked at his son and asked, "Zhuoming, tell me, will dad be an official?"
Feng Zhuoming asked, "Do you want to take care of yourself now?"
It is naturally too early to take care of his old age, and many people would laugh at him if it was known that he started taking care of his old age at the age of 40. After hesitation, he said, "I'll discuss it with your mother later."
Feng Zhuohua on the other end was also talking about this matter to Luo Mingrou. Luo Mingru couldn't help but said, "Does your father really have a chance to become an official?"
Feng Zhuohua nodded and said: "That's what he said. The cousin of Bianjing is an official in the Ministry of Personnel. He said a few words in the Ministry of Personnel. Besides, my father is a serious person who has been admitted to the imperial examination. Being an official is a matter of selection. among them."
Luo Mingru didn't expect that at this age, she would have the reputation of being an official's wife, so she said, "Do it. If you can be an official, why not do it? Otherwise, all your studies in this life will be in vain."
"Mom knows my father's temperament, so I'm afraid he will be hesitant."
"Don't worry, mother will convince your father."
Sure enough, after the meal, Luo Mingrou happily talked to Feng Jinzhao, and the discussion was almost completed in one afternoon.
