The one who came to ask questions was Xiao Chunzi. When he saw Xiao Feng, he first cupped his hands and then pointed to the guards around him, indicating that he had the emperor's orders and could not be polite.
Xiao Feng asked everyone to leave and stood alone with his hands down, waiting for questions. It stands to reason that the emperor's questioning of people is equivalent to announcing an edict, and the person being questioned must kneel down.
However, Xiao Feng has a special status and does not have to kneel in front of Jiajing. Naturally, Xiao Chunzi will not choose this gift at this time.
"Long live to ask you, as a cabinet minister, the prince's master, and making friends with the generals, what do you want to do?" This first sentence is full of weight. The women hiding in the back hall may not feel it yet, but secretly stealing in the front yard Qi Jiguang's heart trembled when he heard this.
Xiao Feng's voice was very calm and calm.
"When I make friends, I never look at status, nor do I pay attention to their promotion or changes. I only look at the heart and character. Wise people are close, and traitors are far away. However, the responsibility of the banzai is due to the rules of the court, and I dare not quibble. It should be painful To change the past, I, as a Taoist cultivator, must keep their nature natural and cannot forcefully change it. For this reason, I sincerely request Long Live to exempt me from official status. I should continue to serve Long Live and serve the Ming Dynasty as a Taoist." In this sentence, Xiao Chunzi couldn't even ask the next questions.
Because the next words were that Jiajing asked Xiao Feng whether he had been screened by all kinds of people he had made friends with, and what kind of crime he deserved.
Now Xiao Feng clearly told Jiajing that I knew I was wrong. The mistake was that I shouldn't be an official. If I don't become an official in the future, then I can make friends casually, right?
He also told Jiajing sincerely: Senior brother, you don’t have to be embarrassed. Even if you jerk me off to the end, I will still help you cultivate Taoism and become an immortal.
Xiaochunzi returned to the palace and spoke to Jiajing in detail, even her tone and speed were not bad, it could be called a human tape recorder.
This is a skill that must be practiced by eunuchs. When you are asked to ask questions, you are the human body recorder, and you must not mix your own tone and emotions into it.
You know, the same sentence, said with different emotions, gives people completely different feelings and final effects.
If this leads to a misunderstanding, the minister being questioned will be unlucky. If it is found out later, the eunuch will definitely not survive.
For example, a girl stares and scolds you on the bus in the most contemptuous tone: "Shameless!" How do you feel?
How would you feel if a girl with charming eyes bit her lower lip a little bit, twisted her waist at the same time, and scolded you in a voice like spring breeze: "Shameless."
Can it be the same? After hearing Xiao Feng's reply, Jiajing was speechless for a long time. Huang Jin lowered his head beside him, feeling both amused and worried.
Jiajing was a strong master, and Xiao Feng's words were full of resentment. Although he was reasonable, reasoning with the emperor was a very dangerous thing in itself.
"I'm here to tell you that Xiao Feng, as a minister of the cabinet, makes bad friends and doesn't follow the procedures. He comes up with blind ideas in private, which is unbecoming. He will be fined for half a year and removed from the post of Zhongshu Sheren as a punishment. ." The eunuch was waiting, and so was Yan Song, all waiting for Jiajing's next words, but Jiajing said nothing.
Yan Song couldn't help but ask: "Long live, where is down there?" Jiajing glanced at Yan Song and said, "It's gone." Xiao Chunzi bent down and said, "Follow the order." He turned around and ran, with a vigorous pace, not affected by the fact that down there was gone. .
Yan Song was so anxious that he almost jumped up as if it was him who was missing below.
"Long live, let's remove him from the post of Zhongshusheren? Where is his teacher of the prince? Doesn't he still have the title of Yiluan Guard? His crime is not small. If he is not severely punished, all the officials will follow suit in the future... ..." Jiajing glanced at his old friend and relaxed his tone, as if to comfort him.
"Imitate? Who can imitate? Is there a second Xiao Feng in the court? Can you point out one to me? Well, Shifan is on par with Xiao Feng, but he is now taking care of you in your house. , It’s a pity. Huang Jin, I appreciate Yan Shifan’s family background, but let him end this spring. I want to see if Yi Shifan’s talents can win the first prize and let the world see.” These words are both comfort and a statement. .
I know that a large part of your resentment comes from the fact that your son was deprived of his official status, so this time I hope that Xiao Feng will at least be deprived of his official status.
But I have my own reasons, so I can't do that. In order to comfort you, give your son a good academic background so that he can participate in this year's Spring Festival.
Doesn't he consider himself the most talented person in the world? Let him take the exam. As long as he passes the exam, he can resume his official status.
When the time comes, won't you, the chief assistant, have the final say on how fast you can be promoted? Yan Song understood. He and Jiajing had a tacit understanding, so he no longer pursued Jiajing's difficulties here.
In any case, it is always a good thing that Xiao Feng can no longer hang out in the cabinet. It is a good thing that my son will be able to resume his official career this year. It can be considered a tragic victory.
Will Yan Shifan fail the exam? Bah, are you kidding? My son is the most talented person in the world! After Yan Song left, Jiajing fell down and looked at Huang Jin with a wry smile.
"Do you think this kid has gone too far? Should I hit him?"
"Long live the saint, thunder, rain and dew are all your grace." Seeing Huang Jin's cautious look, Jiajing smiled and scolded: "Huang Ban, you too... no wonder Xiao Feng is like this. He is obviously angry that I tested him with illness, so I just want to give up the choice. He is still young and energetic. Is this future emperor master so easy to be? I don’t want to see the tragedy of brothers fighting each other. This matter will happen to him." Seeing Jiajing said what was in his heart Huang Jin then answered with a smile.
"Xiao Feng should understand Long Live's thoughts. He asked Hu Zongxian to do this, presumably to avoid the limelight. Since Long Live conferred the title of Immortal Wenxuan on him, he has become a member of Zhongshu Sheren, a Yiluan Guard, and a He is the agent of Shuntian Mansion, and has recently become the teacher of two princes. The young man has reached a high position too quickly. It is actually a good thing to make some mistakes on his own so that both Wan Sui and him can have a buffer." Jiajing nodded, and he also thought of it This point is just that I always feel that there is a bit of resentment in Xiao Feng's matter.
This feeling is very subtle, just like one day, your child will do whatever you ask him to do, and he will be very happy, but his expression is not good.
You know that this child's obedience is actually out of anger, but you can't find anything wrong with it. Jiajing smiled helplessly, and suddenly remembered something, and the smile froze on his face.
"Huang Ban, don't you think he knew about Xiao Wannian?" Wasn't Xiao Wannian's story about killing an official and being demoted?
Anything else? If Xiao Feng were present, there would definitely be such questions. But Huang Jin had no doubts, he just hesitated.
"No, Lu Bing has a very strict mouth and he won't tell anyone." Jiajing nodded, looking a little sad.
"That's good. I'm not afraid that he will know that I took advantage of his family. It's just that... I don't want him to resent me." Huang Jin lowered his head and decided in his heart to get closer to Xiao Feng. .
No one knows Jiajing better than him, and Jiajing's feelings for Xiao Feng are becoming less and less like the relationship between a monarch and a minister.
It's hard to say whether the fate of meeting in the fairyland is real or fake, but the feelings between these senior brothers are becoming more and more real.
"Long live, Xiao Feng has taken care of it. As for Hu Zongxian's matter, long live has not yet given the cabinet a decree. I estimate that Yan Shoufu will follow his original opinion and send Hu Zongxian to the coast." Jiajing nodded. If he Without a clear will, Yan Song has this right.
After all, Yan Song did not express his position when he reported just now, which can be regarded as acquiescence. Therefore, Huang Jin's reminder is very necessary. No matter how smart Jiajing is, it is impossible for everything to be omitted. Huang Jin plays a great role in this regard.
"Send someone to convey the decree. Hu Zongxian's official position as governor of Xuanda and censor will remain unchanged, and he will be sent to garrison in Taiyuan. He will be an assistant to supervise the garrison of Taiyuan, so he can do it cheaply."
