The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 557: : Huang Qilin returns to Beijing

Yang Feiyuan was demoted from the cabinet and Chang'an Yang was copied. These two blockbuster bombs caused shocks in the officialdom.

  Many officials who are implicated in the Yang family are secretly worried, will your majesty check it out?

   King Palace.

   Today, King Xiao Jing hosted a banquet and invited Duan Wang Xiaofeng. At the same time, he was accompanied by a scholar of Shang and Jin. Choosing to host a banquet at this time was not for drinking, but because of Yang Feiyuan's relegation from the cabinet.

   Shang Jin is a scholar of Dongge University and a senior official of the staff. Yang Feiyuan’s situation aroused his concern, and his granddaughter was about to marry King King, so he came to King King to negotiate. Recently, King Jing and Xiao Feng got close, so this dinner was held.

   After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the content of the conversation between the three of them got to the point of business.

Xiao Feng was also puzzled, and said: "Shang Da, the prince made a lot of doubts about Yang Feiyuan and Chang'an Yang's this time. First, Chang'an Yang's home was ransacked, and only Yang Feikai, Yang Feiyuan’s younger brother, was involved. Two, it just caused the Yang family to bleed heavily, but this money is not all of Yang’s savings. How could the prince let this big piece of fat go by so insidious and greedy for money?"

   "Secondly, Yang Feiyuan chose to remain silent and acquiesced to this result. He has a lot of chips in his hand."

"Third, Yang Feiyuan was demoted from the cabinet because of the Yang family's involvement, but he also had the right to minister to the family. The father looked very angry, but his punishment was not serious. Is it possible to understand his previous merits? "

"So I suspect that this is not the idea of ​​the prince, but the idea of ​​the father! The prince is just a person who does things, rushing to the forefront, doing things that offend people. In addition, Yang Feiyuan's silence is naturally a compromise. The strong man broke his arm to save The Yang family."

   Xiao Feng hit the nail on the head and saw the truth.

  Shang Jin is the oldest of the five bachelors. Now he is sixty and three. He has been in officialdom for more than forty years, and he has long learned to look at the essence through problems.

   If only the prince wants to punish Yang Feiyuan and the Yang family, Shang and Jin don’t have to be so afraid. They are afraid, as King Duan said, the man behind is your Majesty!

  Shang Jin sighed, "His Royal Highness Duan is absolutely right. This is what I worry about the most."

Xiao Jing's overall view and analytical ability are far behind. He was surprised: "I still don't understand why your majesty did this! No one dares to refute your majesty's prestige. It is a matter of one sentence to investigate any important minister. Does the prince offend others? Is it possible that his majesty deliberately suppressed the prince? Let the prince offend important officials, after all, the prince is now very strong!"

Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "It's not suppressing. Your Majesty is very fond of the prince. What's more, with his means, he doesn't bother to beat him. If this matter is planned by your Majesty, then his intentions are intriguing, Mr. Shang, what about you? Look?"

   Shang Jin sighed: "Two of your Royal Highnesses, I suspect that your Majesty is going to rectify the cabinet. It is only an excuse to check the Yang family. It is the purpose to let Yang Feiyuan leave the cabinet. And the next step is me."

   "Rectify the cabinet?" Xiao Jing was surprised. As the most prominent institution in China, the cabinet is the position all officials dream of. The five cabinets are always high-ranking ministers, and they will not suddenly reorganize for no reason.

   Xiao Feng sighed: "The scholar of the University of Commerce is right, your majesty should reorganize the cabinet. Yang Feiyuan is in the first department of the king of Jin, and needs to leave the cabinet. The next step is the shang dynasty..."

   Shang Jin is considered to be the King of Kings family. First Yang Feiyuan, then Shang Jin. This is to drive the wrong team out of the cabinet.

   As for the remaining three people, Li Mingchong is the first minister of the cabinet, and basically won't move. Cheng Ming and Lu Zhengzheng allegiance to his majesty, did not support any prince, and it is estimated that they will not move.

   "Is there any way to operate?" Xiao Jing asked nervously.

   Xiao Feng looked at Shang Jin.

   Shang Jin said leisurely: "Your majesty let the prince do this. This shows your majesty's determination. If you want to resist, you must face your majesty. It is extremely difficult!"

   Xiao Jing cursed secretly, once he left the cabinet, he lost a lot of power. For example, Yang Feiyuan, originally in charge of the household department, can manage other political affairs, involving other government offices and local state capitals. Once he leaves the cabinet, he can only manage the household department.

   If the cabinet scholars are in the first order, then the six books can only be in the second order.

   Suddenly, Xiao Feng thought of another thing.

   Yang Feiyuan leaves the cabinet, then who will add in?

Now Daxia has expanded the fourteen prefectures of Anxi, and the territory has increased by one-third, not counting the territory of the Qi State occupied by the north. The expansion of the country will inevitably increase political affairs. According to the usual practice, the number of cabinet scholars is basically five to eight. Now that there are only four people left, it is impossible for your majesty not to add them.

   My uncle Huo Xingye is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Is there a chance to enter the cabinet this time?

   As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Xiao Feng.

   Huo Xingye is too young, the most important thing is that he has not entered the Hanlin!

   "Non-jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and those who are not Hanlin will not enter the cabinet." Although this is not Daxia's promotion system, it is also a tacit rule.

   Among the six books, only the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is left.

   Du Shangshu from the Ministry of Engineering?

   Estimated impossible, because his ability is insufficient.

   Is it possible to choose from the magistrates or the imperial court?

   Cheng Ming is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He did not join the six departments, but he also entered the cabinet. In addition, it is common for the six ministers to enter the cabinet to participate in political affairs.

   Xiao Feng sighed. Whoever enters the cabinet has to look at your Majesty. Ordinary people can't control it at all. Your Majesty is too wise and troublesome.

   The three of them sighed secretly, each drinking, without saying much.

After a while, Xiao Jing suddenly said fiercely: "Your Majesty's purpose is to reorganize the cabinet. Since it is to let the prince go out, then we will make it difficult for the prince to do it. The crown prince’s confidant, why don’t you give them trouble! It’s best if you can bring down three of you, but you can also disgust him if you can’t bring him down, brother, how can you do it?

   Xiao Feng nodded, and replied: "Okay! I have this matter."

   He had long wanted to cut out the prince’s wings, but after a long investigation, he found that whether it was Cui Changwen, Song Ci or Guo Ziyi, they were all honest and clean officials, and it was difficult to find evidence of their crimes. I don't know where the prince found such an upright official!

   "Master Shang, what do you think?" Xiao Jingyue asked eagerly.

   Shang Jin made a suggestion: "Even if these three people are dragged down, the impact on the prince will be minimal. If you want the prince to lose power, you must disappoint your majesty."

   Xiao Jing smiled stiffly, and instantly lost his motivation.

   Xiao Feng couldn't help but sighed, also clueless.

   The banquet lasted until late at night, and the three of them didn't discuss a reason before the end.

   Xiao Feng returned to the palace in a horse-drawn carriage and passed a street. Suddenly someone put a cold arrow to attack. The accompanying guard failed to pursue it, but found that there was a letter on the arrow feathers.

   "His Royal Highness, please look over." The guard presented the arrow feathers to Xiao Feng.

   Xiao Feng took the arrow feathers and found that the material and craftsmanship of the arrow shaft were different from those of Da Xia. After he quickly took down the letter and looked at it, a smile of joy immediately appeared on his face.

   then ordered the carriage to continue returning.

After    Childhood, there was no one on the curfew streets, only soldiers from the patrol battalion patrolled.

   Xiao Feng quietly left the palace in night clothes, went to a quiet house in the west of the city, and knocked on the back door.

   crunch...

   The door of the room was opened. Inside the door was a book boy. He asked, "What is your son doing late at night?"

   Xiao Feng said: "Walk on the clouds."

   Shutong immediately invited Xiao Feng in. After arriving in a room, Xiao Feng saw his relative, Huang Qilin.

   "Grandfather!" Xiao Feng's eyes were red, and he immediately stepped forward to pray.

   Huang Qilin supported Xiao Feng and said with a smile: "Feng'er get up quickly, you are the prince, how can you worship me like a fugitive?"

   Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "In the heart of my grandson, my grandfather is my most important person."

   Huang Qilin was greatly moved, pulled Xiao Feng to sit down, and said with a smile: "Last time I lied to you to die, I was afraid of your impulse, don't blame my grandfather."

   Xiao Feng said: "The grandson will naturally not blame it, but it is a pity that my grandfather's whereabouts are still leaked out, and the grandson can't wait to kill Xiao Rui!"

   "Hey, it's a pity that Xiao Rui has been caught by a god-given opportunity, and he has even let him run away. I missed the opportunity and regretted not having it." Huang Qilin said regretfully.

   Xiao Feng didn't know exactly what happened that night. At this time, after listening to Huang Qilin's account, he understood the whole story.

   "My grandfather also wanted gunpowder. Besides, is this gunpowder really so powerful and mysterious? I have never heard of it in Kyoto?" Xiao Feng asked.

Huang Qilin sighed: "The power of gunpowder~www.ltnovel.com~ has surpassed manpower. The prince and Emperor Xia are well aware of the power of gunpowder, so the concealment is done very well. The production and testing are in the Huben Pavilion. The Huben Pavilion is in the Huben Pavilion. Outside the city, the defenses are as strict as the Forbidden Army, and gunpowder is produced there. I bought a few craftsmen from Huben Pavilion and tried to formulate the formula for gunpowder, but to no avail. So I had to study it myself..."

"The only good news is that when the Emperor Zhao State brought gunpowder into the palace, Xiao Rui used alchemy medicinal materials. An imperial doctor hid some gunpowder privately and was found by me. But there are many kinds of gunpowder inside, many of which are used to cover up. Yes, so it is too difficult to reverse the formula through gunpowder. For the current plan, we can only arrange for alchemists to develop and invent them themselves."

   "Grandfather, have you been in Kyoto all this time?" Xiao Feng asked.

   Huang Qilin shook his head, and said: "I just returned, and I went to a place to meet friends before. This time I won't stay for too long. There are so many spy eyes in Dongchang, so you shouldn't stay for long."

   Xiao Feng sighed: "Grandfather, it's the grandson who has no abilities and can't help you."

Huang Qilin smiled and said: "These are not your fault! For your mother and concubine, for yourself, work hard. If the prince does not sit on the throne for a day, you will have a chance. This time I come back and plan a major event. Oh. By the way, I heard about Lord Yasukuni’s methods after I came back. If it weren’t for Lu Zhi’s reversal, he might have been conspired by Yasukuni, so I will not talk less to those who are eyeing the throne."

   Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "Grandfather, what big plan?"

   Huang Qilin smiled and said, "Come here with your ears!"

   The two people whispered to each other, and the plot began.
