After hearing what Feng Xi said, Song Yichun finally sorted things out.
This Princess Zhaoming is not a concubine, but the only legitimate daughter of Emperor Shengde, who can become the Empress of Zhao.
Now that she has become outstanding, she has a lot of fans, and all of these fans are wise and outstanding. Doesn't this block the way for others?
In the past, those princes who were excellent from beginning to end still had some troubles?
What's more, Princess Zhaoming became a monk halfway?
And what happened in Mingzhou obviously had the shadow of those thoughtful people.
As for why the princess didn't care about Mingzhou, it was because she was stupid. She didn't have a capable minister around to guide her, so naturally she couldn't do it!
Seeing that Song Yichun was obviously shaken, Li Cifu immediately seized the opportunity and said:
"Lord Song, you don't know. Although today's princesses rarely make decisions, they can distinguish right from wrong with the help of their consort. Such monarchs are the blessings of our virtuous ministers, and we must protect them!"
Just like Feng Xi said, thousand-mile horses often exist but Bole does not always exist.
Nowadays, the two major factions in the DPRK and China are controlled by aristocratic families. They are used to enjoying themselves and treating human life as nothing.
Those low-level officials and wealthy merchants are still despised in their eyes, let alone ordinary people?
It is conceivable that letting these people call the shots in the court will only be a nightmare for the people, not a blessing.
On the contrary, if Princess Zhaoming is allowed to appoint children from poor families like this and a monarch who values honest officials comes to power, Dazhao will definitely be in a different situation.
"Master Song, Xiao is not talented, and he feels that he has not reached the point where his eyesight is dim. Maybe the current princess is not a wise master, but she will definitely be in the future."
Faced with such a high evaluation of Li Cifu, Feng Xi wanted to say that he might really be out of sight.
Qi Xiao, on the other hand, had quick eyes and quick hands and covered her mouth directly.
Feng Xi: "..."
She just wanted to say it, she didn't say she had to say it!
"What Mr. Xiao said makes sense..."
Song Yichun nodded. He had been an official for decades, and he was very aware of the difference between children from poor families and officials from aristocratic families.
"Instead of hoping that the prince and the fourth prince from aristocratic families will favor us, children from a humble family like us, it is better to bet on a blank slate like Princess Zhaoming."
What's more, Li Cifu and others were so sincere and did not shy away from that person's shortcomings.
Such open and honest communication is naturally more credible than blind flattery.
Seeing Song Yichun nodding, Li Cifu also smiled and concluded:
"Anyway, Mr. Song, don't worry. The princess has always been paying attention to Mingzhou. She really wants to solve Mingzhou's problems and lead the people of Mingzhou to live a good life."
"So Mr. Xiao, you have a way to contact the princess?"
Song Yichun was a little surprised, but Li Cifu nodded mysteriously:
"Of course, the princess is with us and will not let us suffer in the fight against the Green Forest Army. Moreover, the princess also said that Mr. Song, you are an upright official and a role model in the court!"
Song Yichun laughed and shook his head. He felt that Li Cifu was trying to forgive him.
But the old man was still happy to hear such praise.
"Then did the princess say how our free clinic will be run? Should it be done in her name, or..."
Before Song Yichun finished speaking, Feng Xi, who was let go by Qi Xiao, continued:
"Are you so brave? Are you sure that if you do a free clinic in her name, the people won't turn the tables on you?"
Song Yichun: "..."
"It's not that serious. At most, I received a few criticisms. Everyone still puts medical treatment first..."
In fact, what ordinary people only need is food, clothing, health, and good health. As long as you can provide the above two points, even a little bit, they may change their view of you.
Very realistic but also very sad.
However, Qi Xiao thought about it and said:
"It's not urgent to pull the banner of the princess. After all, the free clinic is not to promote the name of the princess, but to unite the people of Qingquan County. At present, only if the people of Qingquan listen to you, Lord Song, can we be sure to fight against the scheming Green Forest Army .”
"Zhao Ling is right. The people of Mingzhou will understand the princess's heart sooner or later. We are not in a hurry."
Li Cifu also nodded, feeling that the top priority was to integrate the people of Qingquan County.
Seeing that Li Cifu was not in a hurry to promote Princess Zhaoming, Song Yichun's worries faded away.
He was afraid that Li Cifu and others were too utilitarian and would say one thing and do another.
Now it seems that he is worrying too much.
After everyone settled the matter, Song Yichun immediately took Uncle Liu back to the county government office.
Uncle Liu was sent to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials written by Qi Zhuo, while Yamen officials such as Yang Captou were sent to various villages and towns to publicize the news that the county government would hold a free clinic in the front hall tomorrow.
As for Lin Xiong and the Green Forest Army, they naturally continued to be locked up in the backyard of Liu Mansion, waiting for their companions to come and reunite.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as it was dawn, the whole capital became lively.
In front of the mighty General's Mansion, the new wife Liang Yalan was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Together with Concubine Qiuyun, she was greeting guests in front of the door and was busy preparing for today's Shen Mansion banquet.
Originally, the Prince's Mansion and the Shen family planned to hold a small banquet to celebrate the wedding of the third princess and the Shen family's son.
After all, it was ugly enough for a princess to marry for a second time and her brothers to fall out with each other. General Shen also divorced his first wife and took a concubine as his wife. The two combined were really a big scandal in the capital, and it almost overshadowed a certain evil star.
But everyone said that they were afraid of it, because Feng Yuan's marriage was personally given by Emperor Sheng De, so who in the court didn't know about it?
In addition, something happened to Princess Zhaoming, and the fourth prince's line also suffered heavy losses. The prince's line is now in a period of prosperity.
If you don't come to please me now, when will you wait?
Therefore, the front door of Shen's mansion is now crowded with people and guests, which makes Feng Yuan, who is packing up in the mansion, in a good mood.
She had wanted to do something grand before and let others see how well Feng Yuan was doing now.
But her brother and grandfather said that this would harm her reputation and asked her to endure it.
Now she's fine, she promised them to endure it, and she endured it, but she couldn't bear the trouble that these aristocratic families in Beijing would have, and they all came to celebrate with her~
Compared with her big day, Fengyunxuan's Hundred Flowers Banquet a few days ago can only be described as shabby.
As for Feng Xi and Qi Xiao...
When they got married, it was a grand occasion, but both of them looked as if someone had died in the family. How could they be as happy as she was?
Thinking about Feng Xi who has been smashing things in the palace these days and going crazy, Feng Yuan is in a really bad mood.
Prince Feng Jing, who came to the banquet, was really helpless. He asked everyone not to waste their time. What was the result?
Everyone rushed to please him, even the fourth child, Feng Yu, and the Chu family prepared gifts, hoping that he could take advantage of the incident in Mingzhou to make Feng Xi look good.
He was more respectful than obedient to this.
Only Mu Qing, the young marquis of Qi Bohou Mansion, has been sitting quietly in his seat. Except for occasionally communicating with Jia Li, the Minister of Civil Affairs next to him, he basically does not say much to others.
Because in his eyes, Feng Jing and Feng Yu were both boring, and only the arrogant Feng Xi could make him look at her twice.
It's a pity that Phoenix is locked up in a deep palace. If he comes out again, he will be just a useless chicken in prison~
