As soon as everyone left Dayongchang Temple, Chang Feng suddenly remembered something.
He took out the square mandarin duck handkerchief from his sleeve and said to Zhu Youtang, "Your Highness. This is what Miss Zhang lost in the bedroom of the feudal lord's office."
Zhu Youtang said: "You go back and return it to her, and then go to Fengtianmen with you."
Chang Feng came to Zhang Fengling, knelt on the ground, and held up the Yuanyang Pagoda with both hands: "The Yuanyang Pagoda was given to Miss Zhang by His Highness, and Chang Feng returned it to Zhao intact."
Zhang Fengling was supporting Liu Xiaoyan whose shoulder was injured. She took the mandarin duck handkerchief with one hand: "Thank you, general."
Chang Feng said to Liu Xiaoyan again: "After the morning court, I will go to the feudal government office to see you."
After speaking, Chang Feng turned and left.
Liu Xiaoyan whispered a few words to Zhang Fengling.
Zhang Fengling was surprised: "Is this my sister's ideal person? Oh, I remembered it. Shibo said that he should change my name. Otherwise, I will be removed from the audition."
When a noble person is in power, licking his face to make friends with him is called fawning.
Helping a noble person when he is in trouble is called a benefactor.
Liu Xiaoyan blocked the knife for Zhang Fengling and saved her life. He is her savior.
Chang Feng changed Zhang Fengling's name and saved her hope of becoming a princess. He solved the case of the demon fox and rescued her, and he was also her benefactor.
Once Zhang Fengling enters the East Palace, he will take over the Kunning Palace in the future. Can she treat Chang and Liu badly?
Half an hour later, Fengtianmen.
The weather is still cold in the first month of the year. The square in front of Fengtianmen, where the imperial hearings were held, was another hot spot. The ministers stood here early in the morning, as cold as ice skates on the eaves.
The Ming Dynasty had a system: starting from November in winter, all officials entering the court would give warm ears.
The so-called warm ears are fox fur earmuffs. It is similar to the thing Niu Xiaowei often brought in the later "Northeast Family".
Even with warm ears, the elderly court officials were still shivering. Looking forward to the morning meeting ending soon.
Prince Zhu Youtang finally arrived at Fengtianmen.
Xiao Jing shouted at the top of his lungs: "Discuss!"
In an instant, Wanxi came out of the class and said: "I have my own notes!"
His second brother Wantong, fourth brother Wanda, and his accomplice Shang Ming are a bit strange.
What kind of book did the third child play? You haven't discussed it with us.
Zhu Youtang said: "Oh? Please tell me."
Wanxi said dejectedly: "I have been feeling dizzy recently and feel low on energy. It is difficult for me to be qualified for the post of commander-in-chief of the rear army. It is difficult for me to assume the responsibility of being in charge of the fifth military camp."
"I request to resign from the post of Governor Qianshi."
"I recommend Ye Guang to take charge of the fifth military camp!"
As soon as Wanxi said this, all the officials of the imperial concubine party were dumbfounded!
Third Master, is this... crazy?
The 100,000 soldiers and horses of the fifth military camp are one of the foundations of the imperial concubine party's establishment in the court!
How can anyone destroy his own foundation? Who doesn’t know that Ye Guang is from the prince?
If the prince proposed to replace Wanxi. The royal concubine party can also fight with the prince, at least to delay it for some time.
However, it was Wanxi himself who proposed the surrender of military power!
With lightning speed, Zhu Youtang immediately issued an order: "The Ministry of War immediately issued a promotion document and promoted Ye Guang to the rank of Admiral Military Minister of the Fifth Military Camp."
"In addition, Xiao Jing was appointed as the admiral of the fifth military camp."
"Give my uncle Wanxi to support me with his original salary."
There are two chief officers of the fifth military camp. One is the admiral, that is, the supervising eunuch.
The second is the admiral military minister, who is the commander-in-chief of the camp.
Ye Guang and Xiao Jing went to take over, not two bare commanders. Instead, he went with a whole team of generals from the 12th Regiment Battalion.
Zhu Youtang issued an order to directly take over 100,000 soldiers and horses for his own use, which shook the foundation of the imperial concubine party.
Wantong finally reacted, and he was about to leave work to raise objections.
Zhu Youtang gave Xiao Jing a wink.
Xiao Jing shouted: "Retreat!"
Zhu Youtang didn't give Wantong any chance to raise objections!
After going to court, Chang Feng protected Zhu Youtang back to the East Palace.
Zhu Youtang said: "The case of the demon fox was successfully solved, which caused the Wan family to lose the military power of the five military camps; and let Jixiao pay for the northwestern army's salary for the court. You are the number one contributor."
"I will keep your merits in mind."
"You've been working hard all night, so go back and get some rest. Come back to the East Palace tomorrow morning for duty."
Chang Feng said goodbye to Zhu Youtang, and left the East Palace with great satisfaction, and went straight to the feudal government office to see Liu Xiaoyan.
He was riding on the horse and thought to himself: Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger, and blessings and misfortunes depend on it. Sure enough.
The letter exchange on last autumn night, the strange disaster on Mount Tai in winter, and the case of the demon fox yesterday were all like this.
Even though I risk losing my head every time. Fortunately, the danger was saved. Not to mention winning the prince's favor, it won't be long before he can win the beauty back.
There is no greater satisfaction in life than "the spring breeze is so flattering that a horse's hoofs are so frightened that one can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." Chang Feng truly realized the beauty of it.
Unknowingly, Chang Feng came to the gate of the feudal government office.
Liu Bingyi came forward tremblingly: "Xian son-in-law. Xiaoyan and the others are back. How is the situation with the prince? Can I still keep my official hat and head?"
Chang Feng originally wanted to tell Liu Bingyi that the prince decided to handle the demon fox case in a low-key manner and would not pursue him.
Then I thought about it, ready-made favors are not for sale unless they are sold.
So Chang Feng said: "Old Taishan. You always neglected your duties, causing the candidate girl to disappear overnight. According to the rules, at the least, you will be dismissed from your post, and at the most serious, you will be executed."
Liu Bingyi turned pale with shock and his voice trembled: "This, this, what should I do!"
Chang Feng smiled and said: "Don't panic, Old Taishan. I told His Highness the Crown Prince that you are my future father-in-law, and I beg His Highness to have mercy and spare you."
"Your Highness still thinks highly of me. He said that for my sake, he would be a little lenient with you. He would allow you to perform meritorious service while in office and benefit the people."
Liu Bingyi held Chang Feng's hand tightly. It was as if what he was holding was not a hand, but a life-saving straw.
"Wonderful son-in-law! It's all thanks to you! You don't know that I lived in poverty for thirty years and worked hard in the officialdom for ten years. Only then did I get this top-notch official title."
"If I lose my Wusha due to a moment of negligence, all my hard work for most of my life will be in vain! It would be better to have my head chopped off than to survive."
"You are the great benefactor of the Liu family!"
Chang Feng took the opportunity to ask: "Do you see my marriage to Xiaoyan?"
Liu Bingyi said: "According to Feng Shui miscellaneous studies, there must be a zodiac within three days. I don't think there is any need for the false rituals of accepting, asking for names, accepting auspiciousness, accepting levies, and asking for dates!"
"Since ancient times, parents have made the final decision on marriage. Your parents are no longer here. I don't care about the false etiquette, so I will leave it to you!"
"I'll look through the almanac later and see which of the next three days is the auspicious day. Let's get married!"
Even if Liu Bingyi was beaten to death before, he would not agree to marry his daughter to Chang Feng.
Now the two poles have reversed, Liu Bingyi is afraid that Chang Feng will become a celebrity around the prince, and in turn look down on his 21-year-old daughter.
Get married quickly to avoid long nights and dreams!
Chang Feng said: "If I omit the ancient rituals of accepting gifts and asking for names, wouldn't it appear that I have slighted Xiaoyan?"
Liu Bingyi glared: "Contemptuous? I don't like hearing this!"
"If she can marry you, it means she will be rich for the rest of her life! What is there to be scornful about?"
"If she wants to fuss over something like this, I'll break her legs!"
Chang Feng said quickly: "No. I still hope that her legs will spread the branches of the Chang family and give you a fat grandson."
Liu Bingyi held Chang Feng's hand tighter: "Xian son-in-law."
Chang Feng shouted in a sincere tone: "Old Taishan."
The two looked at each other and laughed in unison: "Hahaha!"
Liu Bingyi made a "please" gesture: "Please, my dear son-in-law."
Chang Feng also made a "please" gesture and humbly said: "Old Taishan please."
Liu Bingyi said: "You are now the prince's sidekick. You have a distinguished status. It is better for you to invite me first."
Chang Feng laughed: "Then I'm not polite, haha!" Then he walked into the feudal government office with his head held high and his chest held high.
