Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 239 Confident King Beijing

"This is a warning in disguise. He can do it whenever he wants to, and let go whenever he wants to."

Shui Rong sighed softly, and said:

"We provoked someone who shouldn't have been provoked."

All the nobles were a little silent when they heard the words.

After a while, someone said angrily:
"I really don't know why the black dragon in the East China Sea listens to him so much?"

"From a group of pirates, what insight do you have?"

Shui Rong sighed one after another, and said:
"It was he who pointed out a clear path for Donghai County!"

The man was a little discouraged when he heard the words, and said in a low voice:
"This group of soil turtles know how to repay their kindness, but we are out of luck!"

Unexpectedly, this remark immediately resonated with everyone.

"Yeah! His neck is stuck, and I won't be able to lift my head when I see him in the future."

"But we can't make a move either!"

"That's right! Feng Yuan is not easy to mess with, but which of the four elders is easy to mess with?"

That's right on point.

The cabinet is not made by the ancestors of the Wei Dynasty.

At least there was no such institution in Taizu's time.

During the Taizu period, Baoling Hou Shigong served as Minister of the Book, and took charge of the affairs of the world.

In the later period, Shi Gong retired.

However, Taizu did not set up the Shangshu Order again.

Xue Gong, the chief official of Zhongshu Province, also died of illness at the same time.

Taizu not only no longer set up the Ministerial Order, but also ordered the abolition of Zhongshu Province.

Since then, the six parts can only directly contact the emperor.

The world's government orders come from above!

However, Emperor Taizu was too busy for a while, so he appointed four assistant officials in the same year.

These four people are in charge of offering replacements, according to Chen's regulations, checking the questions and playing, and the tickets are to be approved and answered, so as to allow the general government to be fair.

To put it bluntly, it is a consultant.

They have to read the memorial first and write policy suggestions on it.

Subsequently, the four were named as:
Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Bachelor of Dongge, Bachelor of Huagaidian, Bachelor of Wuyingdian.

With these four bachelors as assistant officials, it is the prototype of the cabinet.

In the period of Emperor Tiantai, this form was also used.

And on this basis, we decided to use Wenyuan Pavilion as the office location.

At the same time, a mechanism has also been formed in which Wenyuange bachelors are the main ones, followed by Dongge bachelors.

So far, Wei's cabinet has initially become a standard.

When Emperor Jingshun ascended the throne, the cabinet was still composed of four people.

Those who are close to him and who have a high reputation are selected.

Or, very capable can also join the cabinet.

Except for Zhang Songyue and Chen Qinzhi, the two emperor teachers, who were the first and second assistants respectively.

There are two other people with extremely high qualifications, reputation, and abilities.

One of them was named Fei Hong, whose style name was Zhongda.

He was born in a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qianshan Fei family.

The ancestor was an important minister in the Taizu dynasty, and he himself was an official to the Minister of the Household Department during the reign of Emperor Tiantai.

Although he is not from a noble family, he is also a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River after all.

More or less have some old friends with the four princes and eight males.

Among the four, he was the last to join the cabinet.

But it is also the only one, just because of its outstanding ability.

Invited into the cabinet by Emperor Jingshun!
After Emperor Jingshun came to power, there were constant struggles between old and new parties.

He didn't want to get involved, so he chose to resign again and again.

In the end, although Emperor Jingshun agreed with him to resign as Minister of the Household Department.

But he also rejected the old man's request and invited him into the cabinet.

Provide advice on money and food.

Although Fei Zhongda is an old party member, even Zhang Songyue, the leader of the new party, has to show respect to him.

Without him, because the Ministry of Households cannot live without him!
The other one is called Xia Ling, whose word is Bing.

His background is average.

Similar to Feng Yibo, they are the families of ordinary eunuchs.

But when Emperor Jingshun was still the prince, he served as Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu.

The Taishi and Taifu are both imperial teachers in name, and they will give lectures to the prince every now and then.

However, it is Zhan Shifu's responsibility to be responsible for teaching and taking care of the prince on a daily basis.

Among them, the chief official of Zhan Shi's mansion, that is, Prince Zhan Shi.

Most of them were honored by the emperor's trustworthy nobles.

However, the loyalty of the founder of the country is commendable, and it is not a big problem to be in charge of a government.

But for the great task of tutoring the prince, they ask themselves that their knowledge is not enough to teach others.

So this responsibility can only fall on the Shao Zhan Shi who was born in Yijia, that is, Xia Yubing.

In addition, Zhan Shifu is also responsible for the daily life of the prince, and has the most contact with the prince on weekdays.

It can be said that before Emperor Jingshun ascended the throne, the officials of Zhan Shifu were the courtiers he was most familiar with.

This Xia Yubing can be regarded as the former minister of Emperor Jingshun's hidden residence.

All the founding nobles discussed for a long time, but they all had mournful faces.

There is no way, in fact, none of these four people is easy to mess with!

To be honest, they don't think they can't afford to offend the cabinet.

Mainly because he couldn't offend Emperor Jingshun.

Needless to say Zhang Songyue is the leader of the new party, Emperor Jingshun almost obeyed him.

Only by the tacit understanding between the master and the apprentice, his status is unmatched.

Chen Qinzhi intends to retire, but Emperor Jingshun admires his vision the most.

He published "Ten Things to Begin" in the early days of Emperor Jingshun's ascension to the pole, which has been regarded as a standard to this day.

Many of Wei's strategies in the past few years have their shadows.

Although Fei Zhongda is considered an old party member, he is good at politics and well-versed in handling affairs.

Emperor Jingshun had already leaned on it as his thigh!

Anything involving money and food must pass through his hands.

If it weren't for this old planner, Da Wei's wallet would have been empty long ago!
And he has old relationships with many nobles.

No matter how stupid the founding heroes are, they would not criticize the only person in the cabinet who has something to do with them!

Not to mention Xia Yubing.

As the cabinet, Emperor Jingshun's real confidant.

To move him is to directly provoke Emperor Jingshun!

They don't want to provoke the four people here, but it's not easy to solve Feng Yibo's side.

Now Donghai County, although the economic blockade against them has been temporarily lifted.

But he can do it again anytime he wants!
This made Xungui, who has overseas business, get stuck in the neck next to him!

So the founder of the country was divided into two groups again.

If one party does not have overseas business, it is advocated not to lose the big because of small things.

Never attack the cabinet!
That would only turn Emperor Jingshun's face, and at the same time offend the forces behind the elder Ge.

In the end, the gain outweighs the loss!
What's more, there is no support from the imperial power.

The noble roots are gone!

The other party has overseas business, or is deeply involved.

Naturally, he insisted on following Feng Yibo's request, at least not explicitly refusing.

Otherwise, if there is another blockade, they will eat dirt.

A group of people were making endless noises, which caused Shui Rong a headache.

He doesn't have any overseas business, and naturally he doesn't want to get involved in any party struggles.

But it was precisely because he was unwilling to be an idle prince that he won over all the founding nobles.

Before, they held together to protect themselves during the struggle between the old and new parties, and successfully got the new party to stop.

This made Shui Rong feel that he had found the right direction!
But now it was just a little setback, and this group of people started arguing endlessly.

Everyone is only for themselves, regardless of the interests of the other party.

This made Shui Rong start to doubt his abilities again.

Is it not that good?

He couldn't help thinking, if Feng Yuan could join them, wouldn't the Duke of Donghai become one of them?
How wonderful that would be!
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Stop arguing!"

Shui Rong let out a loud cry, which temporarily stopped the nobles who were blushing.

They know that such quarrels are pointless.

But it takes an opportunity to stop.

Obviously, the king of Beijing County played such a role.

"I have an idea, let me tell you."

Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Shui Rong regained a bit of confidence.

"Feng Yuan didn't say it clearly, nor did he set a time for us, so we still have room for manipulation."

He smiled slightly, regained his former warmth, and said:

"My suggestion is that you might as well use the drag-and-drop formula for this matter."

As soon as these words came out, someone interrupted, saying:
"How to delay? What if he asks?"

"That's right! Feng Yuan is not stupid, can he wait?"

Hearing such a question, Shui Rong didn't panic at all.

"If he asks, just say that we are preparing. After all, it is not that simple to deal with the old man."

Although this is the truth, but...

"But there will always be a day when it can't be dragged on. When he knows that we have tricked him, the revenge will be more violent, right?"

Seeing many nobles who have business at sea, they all nodded in agreement.

Shui Rong smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Drag him, we naturally don't do nothing."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was somewhat curious.

"what are we going to do?"

"My lord, if you have something to say, you might as well speak it out!"

Hearing this, Shui Rong imitated Feng Yibo's previous appearance, stretched out a finger, and said:
"On the one hand, we really want to collect questions from various cabinet elders, but we don't disclose them."

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and then they all frowned and thought.

"If Feng Yuan can't wait, show him these and let him know that we are moving."

Having said that, Shui Rong stretched out another finger.

"On the other hand, we have to find a way from Donghai County!"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, but many people frowned afterward.

There are still many people who hesitate to speak.

"As long as you get in touch with the Duke of Donghai County, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to find a way to impress him!"

When Shui Rong said this, he felt more and more brilliant about his idea.

It's a pity that no one present could guess what he really meant.

"What Feng Yuan can give, we can give, and what Feng Yuan can't give, we can still give!"

Shui Rong's tone was very confident, and finally said domineeringly:
"Just let him know that only Xungui can understand Xungui, and we are his best allies!"

Most of the nobles were embarrassed when they heard the words.

Only one person agreed first:
"That's right! As long as Feng Yuan doesn't care about him, we can kill this little bastard Feng Yuan at any time!"

After saying this, the man changed the subject and sighed:

"But the difficulty lies in the fact that the Donghai County King doesn't see us!"

"That's right! Don't see us at all!"

"It's not like I haven't tried it before!"

"If he hadn't avoided him, we wouldn't have attacked Feng Yuan!"

All of a sudden, everyone joined in.

"Before avoiding seeing it, it should be against us."

Shui Rong heard the words, but did not rush.

A smug expression rarely appeared on his face, and he said with confidence:

"But now we can start from Feng Yuan."

That's the idea he just thought of!
The Duke of Donghai didn't see them, but Feng Yuan couldn't see them!
Since Feng Yuan can contact the King of Donghai County, why not think of a way here?
"Feng Yuan?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard his words.

It's not that they never thought of wooing Feng Yuan before.

But once it happened, Feng Yuan didn't hold back his hands, and refused to stand in line no matter what.

Secondly, they don't want to have one more middleman, especially if they are not their own.

But now, if they are given a chance like never before.

They must choose to win over Feng Yuan, at all costs and means!

Instead of letting him go wild, and then stuck his neck.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Shui Rong smiled confidently and said:
"That's right, he is coercing us and putting us in a dilemma, but why can't we use him to achieve our goals?"

Someone obviously felt that this was wrong, and directly frowned and asked:
"Let him match us up? Can he agree?"

What Shui Rong was waiting for was this sentence, upon hearing this, he smiled and said:

"Who says it's all of you here, have you forgotten that the Jia family is also a member of the founding of the country!"

"The Jia family?"

Everyone was startled at first, and then suddenly realized.

"Wonderful!"

"Absolutely!"

"How did we forget about this!"

For a while, there were endless calls.

Shui Rong was also thinking wildly just now, and accidentally broke through the shackles.

Since Feng Yuan, who was going to step on his feet, can use it, why can't Jia's mansion, who wanted to be excluded before, not be able to?
Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Shui Rong added:

"As long as the Jia family can communicate with that side, doesn't that mean we can communicate with that side?"

Everyone nodded, and one of them muttered:

"I didn't expect them to be useful."

Although they have activities with Jia's mansion, it does not prevent them from looking down on Jia's mansion.

Although they are all founding nobles, who doesn't have a face?
Only the Jia family, no man can resist.

He doesn't even have a serious job, and relies entirely on his ancestors.

However, after all, it is an old relative, so it is still necessary to move around.

Now Jia's mansion has taken a turn for the better.

There are strong support like Wang Ziteng and Jia Yucun outside.

Inside, there is a virtuous concubine pregnant with a dragon heir.

Of course, this all depends on luck.

It is inevitable that some people will be envious with a hint of disdain.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Shui Rong reprimanded in a low voice, then put on a smile again and said:

"Anyway, the Jia family is also our own."

The man shrank slightly, and hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, after all, the imperial concubine has a body!"

When other people heard the words, they also followed suit, saying:

"Isn't it? In the future, I may have to rely on the Jia family."

"Indeed, the Jia family is no longer what it used to be!"

"Although it was down for a while before, now it is his family that has the most momentum."

While everyone was discussing the Jia family, someone asked another question.

"However, even if the Jia family contacts the Duke of Donghai County, how can we win him over?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately frowned.

"Power? I'm afraid we can't give it."

Just kidding, the hereditary king still has a fiefdom.

Much stronger than everyone here!

"Benefit? I'm afraid we can't afford it."

Gold, silver and jewelry, how could the Duke of Donghai be short of them?
Even if they do business at sea, it depends on Donghai County's face!

Giving money is definitely useful, but I can't afford it!
"Yeah! How do you open up the situation?"

They put forward their opinions one by one, and quickly denied them.

At this moment, Shui Rong suddenly said:

"Actually, the Jia family can't do anything else, but I have traveled with Mrs. Shi all the way, and I have heard from my wife several times that the girls of the Jia family are well-bred."

"what do you mean……"

Huo Zhihuan of Nan'an Palace's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

Hearing Shui Rong's words, he couldn't help thinking of what his mother wanted to do when he came to the capital in a while.

He couldn't help guessing:

"Marriage?"
