In one sentence, it was earth-shattering and everyone was stunned. Xiao Feng asked for leave to handle family matters at home, otherwise he would definitely jump up in surprise.
Jiajing didn't jump up, but he looked at Yan Song very puzzled. He was really not sure whether his old friend had suddenly eaten some moral fruit, causing his realm to become higher and higher.
"What's the truth behind what Aiqing said?"
Yan Song's face was full of justice: "Long live, although Xiao Shaoqing is young, his talent is immeasurable. The cabinet recommended him to take on important tasks for three reasons.
First, Xiao Shaoqing once led troops with Qi Jiguang on an expedition. During this period, he dispatched Xuanda's troops and horses, lured the enemy deep into the country, and fought against the Tatars many times. His military talents were undoubtedly demonstrated! "
Jiajing didn't say anything, but the officials became more and more strange. That's not what you said before!
Ding Rukui was really not angry and said, "Sir, Chief Assistant, Qi Jiguang wrote a letter that day, saying that the Tatar army was greatly defeated, and Xiao Feng took the greatest credit.
You have been objecting, saying that Xiao Feng has been arrested, so what credit is there for you! In the end, Xiao Feng was not included in the military records.
Why is there no mention of Xiao Feng’s arrest now, and Xiao Feng takes all the credit?
It's not the lower official's fault in finding Mr. Xiao. In fact, if he didn't make it clear, Long Live would have thought that the Ministry of War had some prejudice against Mr. Xiao! "
Yan Song's face turned red and he glared at Ding Rukui fiercely. Probably because he was worried that Jiajing would remember his previous remarks, Yan Song quickly filled in the hole again.
"Before, I was very biased against Xiao Shaoqing. I thought that since everyone else was captured, these achievements should have nothing to do with him. I didn't expect that he had planned the strategy and had already made arrangements. This matter is my fault."
Jiajing nodded tolerantly, thinking that with the hatred between your two families, it's not surprising that you framed Xiao Feng for collaborating with the enemy, so why should it be surprising that you don't acknowledge his contribution?
"My dear, you don't have to be like this. No one can make mistakes without being a sage. Go on and tell me your reasons."
Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief: "Secondly, according to what Xiao Shaoqing said, last time he used his body as bait and hit three eagles with one arrow, severely damaging the Coastal White Lotus Sect, the Coastal Japanese Pirates, and the Datong White Lotus Sect.
According to a report from Shuntian Mansion today, yesterday Xiao Shaoqing led Jin Yiwei and Shuntian Mansion in a joint operation to kill the members of the White Lotus cult who were causing trouble in the capital. One of them was the main culprit in the previous serial female murders in the capital!
Not to mention that Xiao Shaoqing swore an oath in front of his grave a few days ago and piled the heads of Japanese pirates in front of his grave, which shocked everyone in the capital.
It can be seen from this that Xiao Shaoqing has great experience in dealing with the White Lotus Sect and Japanese pirates. Isn't the biggest purpose of setting up the governor of Jiangnan just to kill the Japanese pirates and the White Lotus Sect? "
Jiajing nodded repeatedly, and this time even Xu Jie was a little confused: It does make sense. Is Yan Song really going to do something serious for the Ming Dynasty this time?
"Thirdly, among the three battles along the coast, the Japanese pirate ninjas were killed by Yu Dayou in the first battle, and the White Lotus sect was killed by Yu Dayou in the second battle.
The Japanese pirates at sea in the third battle were killed by Zhang Jing, but the court had already concluded that Zhang Jing was taking the credit, and the main control was still due to Yu Dayou!
Therefore, when Yu Dayou returned to Jiangnan, he must be the main force in eradicating Japanese pirates. I would like to ask, who else in the world can be a governor who can cooperate better than Xiao Feng and Yu Dayou?
These two people have the friendship of Taoist master and disciple, and they will definitely cooperate sincerely without any constraints. Then the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty can be settled, and the south of the Yangtze River can be prosperous! "
Yan Song ended his speech sonorously and forcefully, just like a martial arts master clasping his fists and calling it a day after finishing a set of peerless boxing techniques, and looked at the ministers below.
After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against? Come out and take a few steps!
Jiajing's head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough, it was because Yan Song's words were too logical and too noble!
Other officials naturally felt the same way. Even Xu Jie and Gao Gong looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. They couldn't think of anything to refute, but they just didn't understand why Yan Song would do something like this.
Yan Song actually did not discuss this matter with the cabinet, but it is a common thing for the cabinet to speak out. Neither of them would be stupid enough to jump out and shout: "Long live, he lied, he didn't discuss it with me!"
If you really want to do this, there is no need for Yan Song to take action, Jiajing will be the first
One will clear them out of the cabinet. The city government doesn't have this, and you still act like a shitty pavilion elder.
"My dear, what you said makes sense! Originally, I thought that although Xiao Feng had outstanding abilities, he was still young and the governor of Jiangnan held a high position, so I was afraid it was inappropriate.
Since my beloved and the cabinet think so, I have no objection, so let's do it. Let Xiao Feng handle the affairs at home and go to Jiangnan with Yu Dayou to take office. "
The door of the Xiao Mansion was opened again, and people in the street, as well as everyone in the Liu Mansion who had just returned home and were in shock, ran out to watch the excitement.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: (I know it is wrong to write this way, but everyone writes it this way, and I write it this way. This can be regarded as a victory for the illiterate. Please don't criticize me too harshly. If you can't make a smiley face, I will treat it here as I laughed)
Xiao Feng, the young minister of Dali Temple, was diligent and conscientious in his official duties. He had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. He was profound in Taoism and had a good character. He was a pillar of the country. He was specially appointed as the governor of Jiangnan and took office soon. Admire this! "
Everyone exclaimed, this is too high and too fast. Governor of Jiangnan, only officials of second rank or above can be appointed. How old is Xiao Feng?
Liu Tong was also stunned and waved Liu Peng over: "Aren't you dreaming as a father? Your brother-in-law has become the governor of Jiangnan?"
Liu Peng was pinched by Liu Tong and burst into tears: "Dad, it shouldn't be, it hurts a lot."
Liu Tong nodded, grinned and said, "Madam, please stop pinching me. We are all sure this is not a dream."
The sad atmosphere in Xiao's mansion eased slightly, only Xiao Feng's face became even more ugly. Zhang Tianci was busy handing out rewards to the decree-proclaiming team, but he didn't notice, but Liu Xueer saw it.
"Brother Xiao Feng, isn't it a good thing that you have been promoted? I saw my father and Peng'er across from me crying with joy!"
Xiao Feng knew that Liu Xueer had been pampered since childhood and had a simple mind. She might not be as thoughtful as Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang, but only a little better than Qiaoqiao.
So he didn't want to make her worry, so he just smiled and said, "It's a good thing, it's a good thing. I'm just unhappy at the thought that I might have to leave for a long time."
Liu Xueer was also sad, but she quickly cheered up: "Brother Xiao Feng is a manly man who has made great achievements and has ambitions in all directions. This is what I read in the book.
Just go, no matter how long you go, I... I will be waiting for you at home. "
At the end of the sentence, Liu Xueer's face turned red and her voice became much lower. Seeing Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang approaching, they quickly stopped talking.
Xiao Feng was surprised to find that the eyes of Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang lost their former nymphomaniacs, as if they had grown up a lot overnight.
Perhaps, there is nothing that makes people grow up more quickly than being close to a familiar person and dying in front of them.
"Brother Xiao, I'm really useless. There were so many people fighting outside yesterday, but we both had to rely on Qiaoqiao to protect us.
If the two of us, like Qiaoqiao, could help, maybe... maybe Lan Dad and Zhang Da wouldn't have died. Brother Xiao, we want to learn martial arts! "
Xiao Feng patted their heads one by one: "I know what you are thinking, people really should have some ability to defend themselves.
You are both girls, and it’s not like Qiaoqiao who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Yu Dayou's internal strength is overbearing and overbearing, so it's not suitable for you. Learn from Zhang Wuxin.
Wudang internal strength combines hardness and softness. Half of the sword skills he has newly learned are extremely vicious and cruel, so let him teach you that half.
Moreover, his internal strength is the same as that of An Qingyue. When he is away, An Qingyue can continue to teach you. "
Liu Xueer gritted her teeth and felt that she should not fall behind: "Brother Xiao Feng, let me learn too!"
Xiao Feng also patted her head: "You don't need to learn. Yun Qing and Ying Xiang actually like to practice martial arts, but they just didn't get the chance.
You and I have known each other since childhood, and I know that you don’t like these fighting and killing things at all. Don’t worry, I will protect you. "
Liu Xueer nodded, feeling as if honey had been poured into her heart, and went to take charge of the affairs of the house with a blushing face.
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang curled their lips, as if they were filled with jealousy. They lowered their heads and followed over to help.
Xiao Feng gathered his relatives and friends together, and the father-in-law and his family
They were also invited over, and a large room was filled with people.
"What happened this time was due to my poor thinking and underestimation of my opponent, which almost caused a disaster. I apologize to you first."
Xiao Feng bent towards Lan Niang's direction, clasping his fists deeply. Lan Niang's eyes were red and swollen, and she quickly got up and knelt down to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng looked at Qiao Niang beside him.
Qiao Niang has been accompanying Lan Niang since yesterday. When she saw Xiao Feng's eyes, she quickly hugged Lan Niang and whispered in her ear: "Sister-in-law, just accept his courtesy, he feels uncomfortable enough. "
Lan Niang had no choice but to cry: "Master, you can't do this. My family's lives were all saved by me. Master, you must not do this."
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Tianci: "After this assassination, the imperial court has ordered to strengthen the security forces in the capital. I think we will also increase patrols near your residence. But we can no longer underestimate the enemy.
Lu Bing asked someone to tell me that the seventy servants employed by Zuixian Tower can be dispersed in various houses as domestic servants, with no more than ten servants in each house. God sent you to enter the world and bring back forty people.
Ten people stay in your house, ten people stay in the Liu Mansion, ten people stay in the Xiao Mansion, and ten people stay in the small courtyard where I lived before. If anyone asks, just say they are from the old Wang family next door.
Miss Liu and Boss Chen, don’t live in Zuixian Tower anymore. Just go and manage it during the day and live in Xiao Mansion at night. Just let the guys and apprentices live in the building and watch.
Every application is made out of our dividends. This way, I can stay safe and I can rest assured when I go to the south. "
Zhang Tianci nodded repeatedly without any objection. Wang Yingxiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was very moved. Brother Xiao has not forgotten her family!
Yan Shifan's actions this time actually did not pay attention to Lao Wang next door at all. Because Wang Yingxiang did not have a strong sense of presence in Yan Shifan's heart, Lao Wang's family next door were rudely ignored.
But Xiao Feng thought that the old Wang family next door was actually the weakest link in the future. As an official of the imperial court, it is impossible for Lao Wang to move into the Xiao Mansion like Liu Ruyun and his family. Then he would really become a member of Xiao's party, and Yan Song would definitely take a bite.
Therefore, letting people live in their own vacated courtyard can protect Lao Wang and can also be used as a mobile force to support various places, which is the best choice.
Liu Ruyun blushed and felt sweet in her heart. Because Xiao Feng didn't discuss it with her at all, and directly ordered her and her father to live in Xiao Mansion.
Isn't this a bit mean-spirited? You are still happy when people are so arrogant without consulting you? Readers who ask this question should be wary. You might end up being single for the rest of your life.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Feng entered the palace to see Jiajing to express his gratitude. Regardless of whether Xiao Feng wants to do it or not, his feelings for Jiajing must be expressed.
No matter what, Jiajing's promotion of Xiao Feng from the fourth rank to the first rank was an extremely unusual act. Even with the cabinet's strong recommendation, Jiajing still faces considerable pressure to make decisions.
You must know that Jiajing has always been a scapegoat. This time, he stepped forward to help the cabinet shoulder such a big pot, simply because the person under the pot was his junior brother Xiao Feng.
Jiajing was also very satisfied with his junior brother's understanding. From the emperor's perspective, he gave some pertinent opinions on how Xiao Feng should become such a high official.
A high-level summary is: Don’t rush to express your position on everything. There are so many levels and subordinates below you. Let them jump out one by one to fully express their opinions, and then you can choose a plan that is most beneficial to you and implement it.
If you really can't make up your mind, just act like a rogue and force the other person to take a word test or something. In short, junior brother, you have a high position and a high position, so if you fall, it will be heavy!
If one of you makes a mistake as a scholar, I will let you go with a cough; if you make a mistake as the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, I will scold you and let you go; if you make a mistake as a young minister of Dali Temple, I will kick you out for a spin. Never mind.
But you made a mistake when you were the governor of Jiangnan and were bitten to death. Even if I want to continue with you, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death. Look at Zhang Jing as a living example!
Xiao Feng listened absently to Jiajing's teaching of the art of throwing pots. Huang Jin had already finished adding incense. Seeing that Jiajing's mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, he reached for tea and quickly reminded Jiajing while the tea was being served.
"Long live, Xiao Feng went to be the governor of Jiangnan, it didn't last for ten and a half days.
He will be back in a month. Princess Chang An can't stop taking the medicine. Long live promised Princess Chang An and let her follow Xiao Feng. "
Jiajing then remembered and nodded quickly: "Yes, what Chang An said makes sense. I can't delay national affairs just because of her, so I specifically allow her to take office with you."
Xiao Feng opened his eyes suddenly, and the fog in his heart was suddenly split by lightning.
Yan Shifan, Brother Qin, it turns out that you two are playing such a game of chess!
