Just as Jamel Xiao was deep in thought, Xiao An spoke again.
"Since Feng Xiaoyue is so ignorant of promotion, I don't think Feng Pengju can be regarded as the prime minister."
"I will think about it and make another appointment."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Bai Han, "Go to Feng Pengju's place immediately, inform him of this matter, and tell him to rest at home first. As for what he will do in the future, he will wait for my appointment!"
Waiting for appointment means that you will not even be reinstated as an official. You are waiting for arrangements. To put it bluntly, if you don't want your daughter to marry my son, then you don't want to be an official anymore.
Xiao Jingyun was speechless. He bowed and persuaded, "Father, I have already promised the position of prime minister to Feng Pengju. If I change it again, it will appear that I have broken my promise."
Xiao An looked at him and said, "You dare to disobey me before you become prime minister. Do you think he can still respect you when he becomes prime minister?"
"Just because his injustice has been vindicated does not mean that he must be re-employed. Let him rest at home first."
Xiao Jingyun let out a long sigh. After all, his father is still in charge now, and he is only the supervisor of the country. He really has no say in these matters.
Jamel Xiao immediately realized that if he said the next thing, his father would probably become even more irritable.
However, there is something to be said for being irritable.
"Father, there is one more thing. Liu Rumei will marry Chen Xiaobei soon. No one will continue to protect the dragon veins. I have ordered Jingfeng to go to Qingniu County. He will take care of it for a while until the time is right. We will bring her back after a suitable candidate emerges."
After hearing these words, Xiao An unexpectedly did not become angry, but fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed, "I don't think Jingfeng is here to guard the dragon's veins!"
Of course Jamel Xiao knew that his father had something to say.
But as the saying goes, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid is also a skill. Xiao Jingyun hurriedly bowed and replied, "Back to my father, I feel that the younger sister has no other intentions. Besides, I have made an agreement with the younger sister that she will come back as soon as the suitable candidate is determined."
Xiao An nodded, "Forget it, let her go. After experiencing the world outside, she will understand my painstaking efforts."
After speaking, Xiao An waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can quit."
Jamel Xiao bowed, turned around and left. At this time, Xiao An added another sentence.
"Counting the days, Chen Xiaobei should be home by now."
Jamel Xiao did not dare to answer this question rashly, "Based on the time, if there are no accidents on the way, we will arrive today."
"Go and comfort Liu Rumei. She can't let anything go wrong here, otherwise my face will be really ruined."
Xiao Jingyun agreed and bowed out of the study. Watching him go away, Xiao An looked at Bai Han and said, "Send someone to Qingniu County immediately to see what the princess is doing there. He must have been targeted. "
Bai Han agreed and turned around to go out. After he left, Xiao Jingyun waved again and called Xiao Shunzi to him, "You will go to Fang Zheng's place later. Since he has finished all the things he should do." , When you should go back to your hometown, you have to go back to your hometown.”
Xiao Shunzi was very embarrassed but dared not agree.
Exiting the study, he bravely came to see the old prime minister Fang Zheng.
Seeing that he was here, Fang Zheng was very polite. He enthusiastically invited him into the living room and ordered someone to prepare tea.
Xiao Shunzi looked around and looked embarrassed, "Old Prime Minister, I'm here. I have no other intention. I just heard a little news by chance. I want to give you a break in advance."
After hearing this, Fang Zheng certainly understood that the purpose of the letter was to convey some unofficial news to the emperor. There were some things that could not be said through the emperor's mouth.
"Why do you have to be so polite, old man? You and I have known each other for many years. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Xiao Shunzi sighed, "Old Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, you were suddenly called back on your way back to your hometown, right?"
Fang Zheng nodded, "Yes, I suddenly received an order from the prince to vindicate Feng Pengju."
After saying this, Fang Zheng suddenly came back to his senses. He hugged Xiao Shunzi with a fist.
"I understand, I understand."
Xiao Shunzi stood up and bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng.
"I'm just passing on a message for someone else. I really can't help myself. Please forgive me, old prime minister."
Fang Zheng waved his hand with a wry smile on his face, "They are all on duty and understand them all."
Xiao Shunzi looked at Fang Zheng on the left and right, understood, waved his hand and everyone retreated.
When there was no one around, Xiao Shunzi lowered his voice and said, "Old Prime Minister, do you have any other wishes? I will try my best to help you fulfill them."
Fang Zheng smiled and clasped his fists, "Thank you so much, Eunuch Sun, for your kindness. At my age, I don't have any other wishes. The only thing I hope for now is that my grandson Fang Jun can live the rest of his life in peace."
After listening to his words, Xiao Shunzi nodded, "I understand, I will help you bring it."
Saying this, Xiao Shunzi took out another silk-wrapped object from his sleeve and stuffed it into Fang Zheng's hand.
"Bring this with you. At the critical moment, you may be able to save Fang Jun's life."
After speaking, Xiao Shunzi took two steps back, bowed again and turned around to leave.
When Xiao Shunzi walked away, Fang Zheng opened the package with trembling hands.
Inside is a waist badge, a golden waist badge, given by the emperor.
Seeing this waist card, Fang Zhenglao burst into tears.
This is a card to avoid death. Except for rebellion, all other crimes can be exempted from death.
Fang Zheng let out a long sigh after reading it, feeling infinitely that he had worked hard for the country of Dacang all his life. His son also died on the battlefield, and all he got in the end was such a small sign.
His own life and his son's life finally gave his grandson a chance to avoid death.
After sighing, Fang Zheng carefully put away the sign. No matter what, it was a chance to avoid death.
Holding the sign in his hand, Fang Zheng slowly walked out of the living room, stood on the steps, looked at the busy servants in the yard, and coughed.
"You all listen, come to the study in a moment to collect your wages, and then go home."
When they heard what he said, everyone who was working was dumbfounded. They gathered around and asked, "Master, master, what's wrong with you? What did we do wrong? You said we should change it."
Fang Zheng looked up at everyone present, with two lines of hot tears in his eyes, and he sighed heavily.
"Everyone, it has nothing to do with you. You saw people coming from the palace just now. I have to go back to my hometown soon. From now on, there will no longer be my Fangzheng number in the capital."
"In addition, the descendants of my Fang family will never take another step into the official career."
"So, from now on, my grandson will be an ordinary farmer. Please leave."
After hearing what Fang Zheng said, everyone was very silent. After a long time, someone finally burst into tears.
Someone took the lead, and the crowd burst into tears.
