Feng Quli was in a state of confusion.
Li Shuiqian next to him said with a smile: "My lord, my lord? Are you acquiescing?"
Li Xin said: "Of course I acquiesced, I saw it clearly."
Then, he suddenly took out a short knife: "Quick, let's make a blood alliance."
Not only did he just say let it go, he actually took Feng Quili's hand.
Feng Quili was startled, and quickly retracted his hand, then stood up and said very sincerely: "You two treat me like this, I am naturally very touched."
"However, when I first became an official, I only wanted to serve the court and appease the people. I did not intend to become close friends with anyone or make a blood alliance with anyone."
Feng Quili's eyes slowly passed over the faces of the courtiers, and then he said: "I appreciate your good intentions. However, you also know my duty: to supervise all officials."
"I am destined to treat you all as colleagues. After court, if we have similar interests, we can have a drink and chat. But when it comes to political affairs, I will be ruthless."
Then, he said to Li Shui and Li Xin with a serious face: "You two, I'm sorry that I can't sworn sworn brothers with you. I am a censor, and I must be fair. Once I make an alliance with blood, I'm afraid I will show favoritism. Even if I don't do it, What, there will be people making irresponsible remarks and gossip, which can kill people."
Feng Quli spoke frankly, and all the courtiers secretly admired him: Mr. Feng is the first man to successfully reject Huaiguzi.
Li Xin took the knife back with a look of regret: "Although you can't sworn sworn brothers with us, I still treat you as my brother."
Li Shui nodded vigorously beside him and agreed, "My half-brother."
Feng Quli: "..."
Why the hell can't these two people get rid of each other?
Feng Quili sighed and was about to change the topic and let the two people calm down for a while.
Suddenly Li Shui said: "I have a clever plan."
Li Xin said: "What's the clever idea?"
Li Shui said: "If Brother Feng is not a censor, can't he sworn sworn sworn friends with us?"
Feng Quli: "..."
Li Xin said: "It's wonderful. What we admire is Brother Feng's character, not his official position. How about we report to His Majesty and change his official position?"
The courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, then they all lowered their heads and suppressed laughter.
This is just sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster is coming from heaven.
Okay, why did you provoke these two bastards?
Feng Quili coughed dryly and said to Li Shui and Li Xin: "You two, my appointment is entirely up to your Majesty's decision. Let's not discuss it in private, right?"
Li Shui suddenly laughed: "We are just joking. We have already seen today's decree. Mr. Feng has a high position and authority."
"I like to make mischief on weekdays and often do some things that exceed the rules. I hope you will be lenient and don't impeach me."
Li Xin also said sincerely: "We are here just to have a drink with Mr. Feng. After all, we are officials in the same dynasty, so we just want to connect with each other."
The two of them spoke very sincerely. After Feng Quli heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good, that's good.
The guests present also looked at Feng Quili with congratulations.
Feng Quili said: "Quickly, bring me some wine. I want to have a drink with the banished immortal and General Li."
Feng Quli felt happy about surviving the disaster.
At this time, Li Shui said: "Master Feng, I can't get used to the wine in your house. Why don't we drink the immortal wine from the Banished Immortal Tower?"
Li Xin also said: "The Banished Immortal Tower not only has immortal wine, but also delicious dishes."
Li Shui said: "Why don't we hold a banquet at the Banished Immortal Tower? While eating and drinking, we can listen to the building construction and listen to the stories told by the storytellers?"
Feng Quli: "Huh?"
He always had the feeling that Li Shui and Li Xin were soliciting customers.
At this time, Li Shui looked at the courtiers present and said, "Today is a day of great joy for Brother Feng. How about we pool some money and book the Exorcist Tower to celebrate Lord Feng?"
courtier:"???"
Li Xin said: "I sincerely make friends with Brother Feng, so I must take this money."
The other courtiers cursed in their hearts.
But in this case, if you don't take the money, it means you are not sincere in making friends with Feng Quli, so what else can you do?
Even if this routine is obvious to everyone, Feng Quili must have thought it through clearly.
But...what if Feng Queli would mind afterward?
What's more, today I came to seek refuge with Feng Quli. Booking the Immortal Exile Tower for him is also a kind of gesture.
As a result, the courtiers present donated generously.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shui and Li Xin, surrounded by Feng Quli, headed towards the Banished Immortal Tower like a gust of wind.
Feng Quili was still a little confused. He was a little suspicious: the appearance of Banxian and Li Xin today seemed to be to promote his Banxian Tower.
How could these two people be so boring?
He thought about it and suddenly felt that these two people might really be that boring.
A quarter of an hour later, the Exorcist Tower was filled with courtiers.
These courtiers drank priceless wine and ate expensive dishes with their hearts bleeding.
Suddenly someone said: "Why don't you see Ban Xian and General Li?"
One of the guys said, "The Exalted Immortal and General Li have something to do, so they left first."
The courtiers all smelled a conspiracy: "Did they keep their money?"
The waiter smiled: "This gentleman is joking. Banished Immortal and General Li have never drank wine, eaten vegetables, listened to music, or listened to books. Why do they have to pay?"
courtier:"……"
Feng Quili smiled slightly and said to the courtiers: "Everyone, this meal is my treat."
Those courtiers said one after another: "Master Feng must not do this over there. We invite Master Feng sincerely. Come here, please serve two more dishes. Yes, I want the most expensive one."
These courtiers gritted their teeth and showed their loyalty to Feng Qu by ordering dishes.
Feng Quili sat in the main seat, feeling content and contented.
Could it be... is this what power feels like?
Fortunately... Huaiguzi and Li Xin are just trying to promote their own restaurants.
Haha... these two idiots, how important is the emperor's decree today? But they two just want to make money?
…………
It wasn't until sunset that the feast finally came to an end.
Banished Immortal Tower made a huge profit and then sent all the courtiers away.
The courtiers were full of worries when they left.
Logically speaking, Feng Quli should be moved by spending so much money today, right?
But the point is, everyone spent so much money. Calculating it this way, this money will have no effect.
So the courtiers sighed and went home, scolding Li Shui and Li Xin tens of thousands of times in their hearts.
Feng Quili sat in the car and closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage swayed and drove towards his home.
He didn't waste any time and was planning to impeach the prime minister.
Prime Minister, one person is inferior and ten thousand people are superior.
I am about the same age as Wang Wan, so it is a bit unrealistic to endure Wang Wan to death.
Alas, if Wang Wan can't come down, how can he get up on his own?
If Feng had not had such strong thoughts before, today's banquet would completely overwhelm him.
Rights, rights, the taste of rights is really wonderful.
No wonder so many people have rushed towards it like moths to a flame throughout the ages.
Even if you have to be trembling, even if you have to be on tenterhooks. But when I think about it, I am surrounded by my colleagues, and everyone is respectful to me. Feng Quli's heart was beating hard.
When he returned home, the housekeeper Feng Jia said: "Master, we have a guest at home. We have been waiting for a long time."
Feng Quili asked: "Who is it?"
Feng Jia said: "The man's surname is also Feng. He claims to be the master's family. What's his name...Feng Renji?"
"Feng Renji?" Feng Quili frowned: "This name seems familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere... Oh, I remembered it."
Feng Quli did remember it. Every year during the Chinese New Year, when we worship our ancestors, Feng Renji’s name will appear in the corner of the memorial ceremony.
Yes, Feng Renji is indeed his family member, but it is not an important family member, it is dispensable, that's all.
However, since someone is here, you can't drive him out. You can just entertain him casually and send him away.
So Feng Quli ordered people to call Feng Renji.
When Feng Renji came in, he saw Feng Quili being gargled and washed by two maids.
Feng Renji felt a little humiliated: After all, I am also an official. It is too... for you to see me like this...
When Feng Renji was thinking this, Feng Quili raised his head and said lightly: "I just drank some wine and my head is a little dizzy. Renji, do you mind?"
Feng Renji shook his head repeatedly: "I don't mind, I don't mind. This is because my brother doesn't treat me as an outsider."
Feng Quili nodded with satisfaction.
After Feng Quili finished washing his face, he started washing his feet again.
Feng Renji was a little helpless. He felt that he could not wait any longer. If he waited any longer, Feng Quili would probably go to sleep.
So he endured the shame and said: "Brother, we are blood relatives, but we have neglected to move around these years. It is my fault."
Feng Quli chuckled.
Feng Renji realized that Feng Quili was not interested in these polite words, so he gritted his teeth and said straight to the point: "Brother, in this position, you will inevitably impeach some ministers."
"The supervisory officials are a sharp sword. If my brother never lets this sword come out of its sheath, then they won't be afraid."
"Once this sword is unsheathed, it must behead someone. Otherwise, they will know my brother's bottom line and will not be afraid."
Feng Quili was slightly startled, and his half-closed eyes opened. He asked: "So?"
Feng Renji continued: "A sword cannot be unsheathed easily. And I am willing to be my brother's secondary sword."
"My little brother, this sword is made of ordinary iron, but it is also quite sharp and can cut off some people's heads."
"If some people's heads are too hard, my younger brother can't chop them off. But it won't damage my elder brother's reputation. When my elder brother sees it correctly and is confident, he can unsheath his sword and deliver a fatal blow."
"In this way, my brother's prestige will grow."
Feng Quili waved his hand and said to the little maid who was washing her feet: "Step back."
The little maid retreated. Feng Quili put on his shoes, walked up to Feng Renji, took his hand and said, "Oh my god, I never thought that I, Mr. Feng, would have a talent like you."
What Feng Renji just said solved the problem that Feng Quili had been thinking about.
He wanted to bring down the Prime Minister, but it was impossible to impeach the Prime Minister himself right away.
So he needs a confidant, and he needs a confidant to test him out first.
Look at the reality and reality of the other party, and see who is on the other side.
If you are confident, it is not too late to end the game. If you are not sure, then scold your confidant and say that it is the confidant's own decision.
In this way, you can attack when you advance, defend when you retreat, and you can advance and retreat freely.
Now Feng Quli is trying to cultivate a group of confidants. These confidants must be loyal and even smarter.
The Feng Renji in front of him completely conforms to these two characteristics.
He is from his own family and his official position is low. If he is recommended, how can he be disloyal?
And what Feng Renji said just now proved that he was smart enough.
Such talents must be entrusted with important responsibilities.
So Feng Quli enthusiastically pulled Feng Renji to sit down.
The two of them began to have a daily routine.
Finally, after talking about it, I suddenly discovered that Feng Renji was actually one year older than Feng Quili.
Feng Quli chuckled: "So, I should call you brother."
Feng Renji waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare. The virtuous will come first, and you are the elder brother."
Feng Quili laughed loudly: "No matter who is the elder brother, from now on, we two brothers will be as close as one family."
Feng Renji smiled dryly and said, "Yes, yes, we are as close as one family."
At the same time, he silently complained in his heart: Go to hell with your family. I'm already part of the same family as you, okay?
…………
Wang Wan is pacing in the room. His current state is exactly the same as Li Si a few days ago.
At this time, a servant said outside the door: "Master, Lord Ting Wei is here."
Wang Wan immediately said: "Please come in quickly."
After the two people met, they exchanged pleasantries.
Then, Li Si smiled and said, "The Prime Minister doesn't look very good."
Wang Wan smiled bitterly: "Aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
Wang Wan found that she had been very unlucky recently.
First, he owed a large amount of foreign debt, and then he became seriously ill due to Huaiguzi and Li Xinqi. Now that the symptoms have just improved, His Majesty issued another decree.
Alas, everyone wants to be the prime minister, everyone wants to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
But is this Prime Minister really that easy to do?
Li Si smiled and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I have come to bring you good news."
Wang Wan's eyes suddenly lit up: "But have you thought of a way?"
Li Si nodded and said to Wang Wan: "Five years ago, I saved a guilty minister. And this guilty minister happened to be Feng Queli's clan brother."
"I have ordered this person to join Feng Queli and become his censor."
Wang Wan nodded and said: "That's good. In this way, we have a detailed plan next to Feng Quili. If he takes action, we can hear some news and make preparations calmly."
Li Si chuckled and said, "Prime Minister, you have underestimated me. Do you think this detailed work is just as simple as detailed work?"
Then, Li Si whispered a few words in Wang Wan's ear.
Wang Wan's eyes grew bigger and bigger.
Finally, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Si: "Master Tingwei, you are... I can't thank you enough. Come on, come on, please accept my bow."
