"Husband!"
Bai Yuyao stood in front of Lin Feng and bowed to salute.
Lin Feng stretched out his arms, hugged Bai Yuyao, and said softly: "Yao'er, I've been away for a long time. I miss you."
brush!
Bai Yuyao blushed.
too direct.
In public, with many people watching outside, it was so embarrassing. How could you be so direct?
But Bai Yuyao felt a little happy in her heart.
Her husband cares about her.
The husband is thinking of her.
Bai Yuyao quickly broke away, glanced around with the corner of her eye, her face regained her composure, and said, "My husband said he brought Sister Xu back, where is she?"
Lin Feng turned around and Xu Liuli followed.
She faced Bai Yuyao with a humble expression and a soft complexion. She leaned forward and said, "My little sister has met my elder sister."
It is true that Xu Liuli was also married to Lin Fengming, but the problem was that Bai Yuyao came first and Xu Liuli came last.
Xu Liuli had already been mentally prepared for this on the way here.
She was quite uneasy at first.
The moment he saw Bai Yuyao, he saw Bai Yuyao's gentle expression, and the anxiety in his heart relaxed.
Bai Yuyao stepped forward and took Xu Liuli's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are here. My husband mentioned you many times in the letter. When I was at home, I would have cleared the yard for you a long time ago. If you have one with you, Maid, just use your maid. If not, my sister will arrange it for you again."
Xu Liuli smiled and said, "I'm here alone, I'm sorry for bothering my sister."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Bai Yuyao smiled and spoke.
She also felt a little relieved. From the current point of view, Xu Liuli was also an easy person to get along with. This is the conclusion that Bai Yuyao came to when he saw Xu Liuli after seeing countless people running a shop.
Bai Yuyao looked at Lin Feng and asked: "My husband has returned to Xianyang and is busy with affairs. It is better to go to the palace to see the emperor's grandfather first, so as not to worry about the old man. I am taking Sister Xu with me and I will go back to the house first to familiarize myself with the situation. What do you think?"
"Okay, you can arrange it."
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
If the two women can get along harmoniously, this is the best result.
In fact, there was nothing to argue about. After all, Lin Feng made no difference between the two of them.
Lin Feng separated from Bai Yuyao and Xu Liuli, changed to a carriage, and took Chang Taining and Song Yi straight to the palace. Arriving outside the palace, Chang Taining and Song Yi were waiting outside the palace, and Lin Feng entered directly.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Lin Feng saluted Ying Jiuxiao.
Ying Jiuxiao smiled and said, "You still call me Your Majesty?"
"Grandfather!"
Lin Feng immediately changed his title.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "I already know that you made Jin and Qi agree to divide their territories. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "The negotiation went smoothly only because of the invincible Qin army. The diplomatic relations between the two countries still rely on the strength of their own countries. The so-called weak country has no diplomacy. So this trip is not difficult. "
Ying Jiuxiao knew that Lin Feng was modest and did not say anything more. He said directly: "Although the destruction of Xia Kingdom is still in the final stages, it is generally over. The army's awards and the soldiers' pensions will be followed up."
"In addition, you must already know the situation of Huan Suzhi and Cui Yuantu."
"I specially summoned them and asked for their opinions. They were also willing to serve the Qin State, so they stayed in Yanzhou and began to take charge of local affairs. Their arrangements have been finalized, but you have been separated separately. Regardless of the war, your reward can be advanced."
"I plan to let you take over the Ministry of Industry and serve as Minister of Industry. What do you think?"
Ying Jiuxiao had expectations in his eyes and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Li Yan here is also old and has insufficient strength. When you first entered the court, you will start from the Ministry of Industry."
Lin Feng said: "Grandfather, just be an official. I have no intention of becoming an official. What's more, if I don't become an official, I will still participate in government affairs. As long as Grandfather summons me, I will come immediately and I will never shirk."
Ying Jiuxiao frowned and said: "Are you worried that you will be criticized easily if you serve as a minister in your early twenties? Who dares to criticize this matter? No one dares to say anything. Your contribution to Qin is obvious to all."
Lin Feng said: "That's not what I meant. I want to be an official and I am not afraid of any rumors."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Then what do you mean?"
Lin Feng said: "I just don't want to be restrained now. The Xia Kingdom has been destroyed, and my revenge has been avenged. I will rest for a while. Grandfather Li, Li Shangshu still has energy and can take charge of the overall situation of the Ministry of Industry. For the time being. , freedom is the best.”
For Lin Feng, even if he is not an official, he is still powerful, so why bother to wade through the muddy waters of officialdom. When he should be happy, he should be happy. This was his pursuit of having a warm bed with his wife and children.
If you have any ideas in the future, it’s never too late to consider them.
Ying Jiuxiao looked at Lin Feng and saw that Lin Feng insisted on doing this. His sharp eyes softened and he sighed: "You are good at everything. You are smart, responsible and righteous, and you know more about responsibilities. It's a pity that you are too lazy. You weren't the one at the beginning. For the sake of reform, you will not go to the local government to take office. Since you have made the decision, I will not force it."
"Thank you, Grandfather Emperor."
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Lin Feng, since you don't want to become an official, I will give you another title and change it from Marquis of Zhenguo to Duke of Zhenguo. You can't make great contributions and I won't reward you, otherwise you will be People accuse people of unclear rewards and punishments.”
Lin Feng said happily: "Thank you, Grandfather Emperor."
The title of Duke is not bad.
In the imperial court, there are only a handful of people who can hold the title of Duke. This is a title that only a very small number of people can obtain.
With a title, you have an identity.
Ying Jiuxiao shook his head helplessly. Lin Feng was unwilling to become an official, so he had no choice but to let Lin Feng do it of his own free will.
Ying Jiuxiao changed the subject and said: "I have no objection to you going to Jin and marrying Jin's princess Xu Liuli. As a man, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines. What's more, your boy is so outstanding. It is estimated that in the future, It is also possible to have groups of wives and concubines.”
"I have only one rule here, you can't let this girl Yuyao down."
"You also know that this girl was separated from her parents when she was a child and was mistreated by her adoptive mother. She suffered a lot."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Do you know?"
Lin Feng said: "Grandfather, don't worry, I will never let Yuyao down. To me, Yuyao is unique and has a different meaning."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "As long as you understand."
After a pause, Ying Jiuxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's get going. I just returned to Xianyang and it's time to reunite with my family."
Lin Feng said: "I still have something to do."
Ying Jiuxiao said, "What else do you want?"
Lin Feng said: "First, Chang Taining, the envoy who went to Qi this time, has also returned and is waiting outside the palace. He has also made great contributions."
Ying Jiuxiao snorted, his voice suddenly rising, and he said in a deep voice: "Lin Feng, do you think that I don't know the situation in Qi? I have already opened the door to a wide range of things by not holding Chang Taining accountable. Is it possible? Does he still want a reward? Tell him to go back and do his job well."
Outside the palace, Chang Taining's expression changed slightly when he heard the emperor's scolding.
Although he had never entered, he could clearly hear the conversations in the palace.
Chang Taining sighed inwardly.
I blame myself for being too naive.
Fortunately, the emperor did not deal with it and finally told him to do his job well, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
At this time, a eunuch came out and waved directly to Chang Taining. Chang Taining cupped his hand to thank him, then bowed respectfully towards the main hall, then turned and left.
When Ying Jiuxiao saw the eunuch coming back, he said, "Lin Feng, what about the second thing?"
Lin Feng said: "Secondly, when I was in Linzi, Qi State, I discovered a great talent for the emperor's grandfather. When this person comes to the Qin State, he will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes for the Qin State. This person is outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's grandfather. summoned."
Ying Jiuxiao was also curious and asked: "Whose last name is who, and what are they good at?"
Lin Feng said: "This man's name is Song Yi. He is good at many affairs of the Ministry of Industry, such as forging weapons, improving farming, and building water conservancy. He understands them all."
Ying Jiuxiao frowned.
People from the Ministry of Industry.
In Ying Jiuxiao's view, there are many people like Song Yi. What great talents can they have?
What Ying Jiuxiao needs is a scholar like Lin Feng.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng was still too lazy.
Ying Jiuxiao looked at Lin Feng's determined look and knew that Lin Feng had good intentions and was unwilling to undermine Lin Feng's good intentions. After all, Lin Feng did not serve as an official, but he was still willing to provide suggestions for the development of Qin.
The enthusiasm of young people cannot be dampened.
Need some encouragement.
Ying Jiuxiao had a smile on his face and ordered: "Come, tell Song Yi."
After the eunuch passed the message, Song Yi stepped in. Although his family background was not bad in the past, he belonged to a wealthy family. But there was no official in the Song family. Although Song Yi had traveled to various countries, he had never made friends with powerful people.
Facing a monarch like Ying Jiuxiao, he was naturally a little uneasy.
Song Yi took a deep breath to steady his mind, bowed and saluted: "Song Yi, a common man, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and said: "Song Yi, you are the person Lin Feng values and I have always believed in Lin Feng's vision, so I also believe in you. Your ability is suitable for the Ministry of Industry, so you go to the Ministry of Industry as a worker Among the doctors in the department, after I have achieved success, I will not hesitate to promote him. What do you think?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Song Yi knelt on the ground with a plop and thanked him.
Lin Feng saw this and frowned slightly, did the emperor not trust him?
In other words, the emperor looked down on Song Yi.
Lin Feng immediately frowned, and he understood Ying Jiuxiao's mentality. Whether it is Ying Jiuxiao, Tian He of Qi, or Sima Chong of Jin, including the dead Li Chongfu, the emperors of various countries only valued literati, not craftsmen.
Strictly speaking, Song Yi is a craftsman.
So Ying Jiuxiao doesn't pay much attention to it.
Because it was Lin Feng who mentioned it, Ying Jiuxiao made the arrangement. However, Song Yi was an honest gentleman and a technical nerd without much thought, so Song Yi didn't understand Ying Jiuxiao's meaning at all.
Lin Feng was thinking in his mind, and in the blink of an eye, he already had an idea. To make the emperor rely on Zhong and even trust Song Yi, it was obviously not enough to just talk. More means were needed. Well, not means, but more practical changes, objects that can truly promote the development of Qin.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Get up, you go directly to the staff department to report for your appointment."
"Here!"
Song Yi happily agreed.
Lin Feng didn't stay any longer, so he excused himself and left, walking out of the hall together with Song Yi.
After walking a certain distance, Song Yi stopped, cupped his hands and said: "Master Lin, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would still be wasting my time in Qi. Because of your help, I can now have a bowl of rice in Qin and be able to live in Qin." Put everything you think and learn into action. I will definitely do my best to live up to Master Lin’s help and your Majesty’s high expectations.”
"well……"
Lin Feng sighed.
Song Yidao: "Master Lin, why are you sighing?"
Lin Feng said: "The Imperial Grandfather gave you an official position, but the Imperial Grandfather meant it purely for my sake, not for your true talent and knowledge. The Imperial Grandfather didn't even ask about your "Tiangong Law". He didn’t even look at it, which shows his attitude.”
Song Yi's body suddenly froze.
Lin Feng didn't mention anything. He was still immersed in fantasy, thinking that the emperor would rely on Zhong and directly appoint him to an official position.
That's all it is now.
Arbitrary placement?
Just giving alms?
Song Yi hesitated at first, then gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Since Your Majesty does not agree with it, I will resign. Although I, Song Yi, are poor, I am not willing to take advantage of others, and I am not willing to do things that are unfair and unfair. I don't want such an official position. Whatever."
"Mr. Song, you are wrong."
Lin Feng shook his head.
Some monks in Song Yi were confused and didn't know what Lin Feng meant, so they asked, "What does Master Lin mean?"
