The officials came over one by one to congratulate him, and by the way, they also looked familiar in front of Zhao Feng.
If Zhao Feng was just the prefect of a small place, then these officials would never pay attention to him. After all, they were all officials in the court, and they naturally looked down on these local officials.
But now Zhao Feng suddenly entered the court, and also entered the highest authority in the entire empire. Although he was only a member of Zhongshushe, he was enough to be on an equal footing with them.
Although the position of Zhongshu Sheren does not have too many practical rights, it can reach the pinnacle of power in the entire empire and can participate in political affairs, which even they have to fawn over.
Until they walked out of the hall, these officials continued to express congratulations to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng finally got away from these officials, only to find that Zhou Kang and Zhou Rui had left.
Zhao Feng sighed slightly, feeling extremely confused about all this.
But now only the fourth prince Zhou Kang could solve his doubts, so Zhao Feng had no choice but to walk towards the fourth prince's mansion.
Arriving at the door of the fourth prince's residence, the doorman saw that it was Zhao Feng. It seemed that he had already received the order and led Zhao Feng in directly.
All the way to the study of the fourth prince Zhou Kang, the doorman knocked lightly, and Zhou Kang's voice came from inside. He opened the door and said to Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao, please go in."
Zhao Feng nodded and walked to the study room, where he saw Zhou Kang standing behind the desk, writing something in calligraphy.
Zhou Kang raised his head and saw Zhao Feng, and immediately said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao, I knew you would come to me as soon as possible. Sit down first!"
Zhao Feng walked over and discovered that Zhou Kang had written the same poems that he had memorized while drinking with him two days ago.
Zhou Kang had finished writing a poem at this time. He slowly stopped writing and said with admiration.
"It can be said that I admire Mr. Zhao's poetic talent very much."
"Except for Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid no one can produce so many masterpieces in a row!"
Zhao Feng waved his hands in embarrassment. How could he write poetry? He's just a copycat.
At this time, Zhao Feng asked Zhou Kang with great confusion.
"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, didn't I come to the capital to report on my duties? Why have I become a member of Zhongshushe now?"
"Besides, I can't understand the situation above the court!"
Zhou Kang smiled slightly, took Zhao Feng to sit on a chair in the study, asked his servants to bring him tea, and then said to Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao, you don't have to be too confused."
"If I say that all of this was planned by my father, would Mr. Zhao understand?"
Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
Thinking carefully about what happened in the court today, Zhao Feng did feel that there seemed to be a driving force behind it.
It was precisely because of the existence of this promoter that Zhao Feng, as a prefect who had served for less than a year, jumped directly into the highest authority of the entire Zhou Dynasty.
Although he was only a member of Zhongshushe, this was unique in history.
If all of this was secretly promoted by Zhou Zhen, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, then this matter can be explained clearly.
But this brought new doubts, that is, how did Zhou Zhen notice him?
Zhao Feng was sure that he had had any interactions from Weihezhou Town before, and today was also the first time the two of them met. How could Zhou Zhen know so clearly about the things he had done, and secretly promote these things?
Seeing the confusion in Zhao Feng's eyes, Zhou Kang couldn't help laughing twice and explained to Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao, although I know that you are not interested in officialdom, the Zhou Dynasty has reached a dire straits. Without Mr. Zhao's help, my eldest brother and I would not be able to persist in this court."
"So I took it upon myself to recommend Mr. Zhao to my father. If Mr. Zhao has any dissatisfaction, you can vent it to me. I have no complaints!"
Zhou Kang said this and looked at Zhao Feng with great sincerity.
When Zhao Feng heard this, he understood in his heart.
No wonder something like that happened in the court today. If Zhou Zhen had noticed him a long time ago and was secretly promoting this matter, then it would be clear.
After all, Zhou Zhen was the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Although the four major families now controlled the government, what Zhou Kang wanted to do was generally successful.
Zhao Feng also knew very well why these four major families wanted to win over him. Now he finally completed the key. It turned out that all this was because Zhou Kang was behind it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng smiled bitterly, waved to Zhou Kang and said.
"Your Highness, you praise me so much, how can I complain?"
"Although I don't want to enter the officialdom, but the matter has come to this, there is nothing I can change..."
Zhou Kang sighed softly. He and Zhao Feng were friends and close friends, but now he used this method to make Zhao Feng do what he least wanted to do. Zhou Kang always felt sorry for Zhao Feng. of.
So Zhou Kang had no choice but to explain to Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao, if you listen to what I have to say, I think you will feel better."
"Actually, I'm not trying to force Mr. Zhao to do something you don't want to do, but the Zhou Dynasty has indeed entered a very difficult period!"
"There are Huns in the north who have been raiding south all year round. If it weren't for the weapons that Mr. Zhao made, the six cities of the Zhou Dynasty would still be in the hands of the Huns!"
"In the court, the four major families control the government, and most of the officials who can enter the officialdom are from these four major family factions."
"It is precisely because of this that Mr. Zhao, a talented person who has nothing to do with the four major families, is the most urgently needed talent in the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty!"
After Zhou Kang said this, Zhao Feng waved his hand. He also knew these things, and because of this, he was unwilling to enter the court.
Unfortunately, it was a done deal now and it was too late to say anything, so Zhao Feng asked Zhou Kang curiously.
"Your Highness, so Your Majesty already knew of my existence before?"
Zhou Kang couldn't help laughing, nodded and said.
"Yes, since I recommended you to my father, my father decided to test your ability first."
"It can be said that my father has heard about what you did in Zhao County and Huaigu Fucheng, and he even knows it better than I do!"
Zhao Feng opened his mouth, and then he understood why the entire Zhou Dynasty was following his plans.
