Feng Yibo naturally meant to apologize for being insincere.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows this.
Only when both sides have the same value-added stance can they have common interests.
So he got married to the Xue family, not so much to reconcile with the Jia family.
It would be better to say that he is married to the Wang family.
Of course, the one connected was his mentor Li Shouzhong.
This is civil and military.
These are the two benchmarks that Emperor Jingshun set for noble families such as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.
If you can understand, come and vote quickly.
But the Jia family is the emperor's loyal supporter.
So, Feng Yibo thinks.
Reconciliation is okay, but it can’t be too good either.
Because Li Shouzhong is about to enter Beijing.
Not long after Feng Yibo's new batch of Jinshi were awarded officials, Li Shouzhong was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing.
The former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing was transferred to the Ministry of War in Nanjing.
In the past two days, Wang Binzhou, the Minister of Rites, was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing for some reason.
It is considered a semi-issued one.
So, you know without asking.
Li Shouzhong will go to Beijing soon and succeed to the post of Minister of Rites.
This series of operations may seem complicated, but in fact there are traces to follow.
The root cause of everything is the Japanese pirates disturbing Jiangnan.
As early as when the Japanese pirates were robbing the south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Wensong, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, discovered a problem.
He made great efforts to prevent Japanese pirates and put forward seven suggestions.
First, send people to worship the sea god.
Second, order Yousi to collect the bones to avoid the plague and reduce local corvee labor.
Third, recruit more naval forces and build warships.
Fourth, increase the land tax in the south of the Yangtze River, and levy it in Su Changshu and other places for three years in advance.
Fifth, ask the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to donate money to save themselves, and after the Japanese invasion is quelled, they can either discuss their merits or atone for their crimes.
Sixth, send important ministers to inspect the military situation in the south of the Yangtze River.
Seventh, appease the old Tongfan party and salt disciples, and disintegrate the Japanese pirates from within.
As soon as Zhao Wensong's memorial was published, the Ministry of War quickly gave its opinions.
It is believed that 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 are all applicable, but 4 and 6 are not feasible.
Emperor Jingshun was furious because of the Japanese pirates.
Seeing that the Ministry of War had no constructive opinions at all, it immediately issued an edict to reprimand him.
He also used this to remove Nie Xin, Minister of War.
Seeing this, Wang Binzhou, the Minister of Rites, immediately supported all Zhao Wensong's performance.
He also laid trouble for himself.
Emperor Jingshun asked his chief assistant Zhang Songyue at that time.
If this is the case, who should be sent to worship the sea god and the governor Jiangnan.
Zhao Wensong is a member of Zhang Songyue's faction.
Upon hearing Emperor Jingshun's inquiry, he took advantage of the situation and suggested that whoever went to the evacuation department would do the work.
Therefore, Zhao Wensong took the sacrifice and sued the Poseidon and Superintendent Jiangnan to prevent Japanese incidents.
If he had really acted as he was told, perhaps nothing would have happened later.
But wait until he arrives in Jiangnan.
Ignoring the Japanese pirates, I went to worship the Poseidon first.
This kind of sacrifice is naturally meaningless.
Moreover, it wastes people and money and disturbs the local area.
After he took office, he used this to make money crazily.
Whether it is offering sacrifices or collecting donations.
As long as money is involved.
Regardless of whether it is public or private, all items will be sent to his private residence.
For a time, the whole Jiangnan was troubled.
Impeachment memorials were piled up in Emperor Jingshun's case.
At the beginning, Emperor Jingshun still hoped that he could suppress the Japanese pirates.
But apart from a few false reports of military exploits, he made no progress at all.
After reading the secret of the Dragon Scale Guard, Emperor Jingshun immediately issued an order to recall him.
But while Zhao Wensong was still on his way back to Beijing, another Japanese pirate attacked Nanjing.
At this time, Emperor Jingshun was completely blown away.
Then there was a big earthquake in Jiangnan officialdom.
First, there was a vacancy in the Nanjing Military Department.
The Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing was also implicated and was transferred to the Ministry of War in Nanjing.
As a result, there was a vacancy in Nanjing's official department.
It happened that Li Shouzhong was promoted to the top.
Originally we had to wait, but there is a high chance that Wang Binzhou, the Minister of Rites, will join the cabinet next year.
At that time, Li Shouzhong had the opportunity to be transferred to Beijing.
But Wang Binzhou was impeached because he supported Zhao Wensong.
As soon as Zhao Wensong came back, he was dismissed from office and exiled to Jiubian.
As a result, Wang Binzhou was laid off early and sent to the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs for retirement.
In this way, Li Shouzhong has a chance to take over this year.
If he had moved quickly, he should have set off from Jinling by now.
In the next month.
Feng Yibo followed the instructions step by step in the Hanlin Academy.
Even cautious.
Before Li Shouzhong entered Beijing, he determined to be a quail.
In order to avoid being found out, Li Shouzhong was given a showdown on him.
On this day, I finally received the news.
Feng Yibo had people prepare their carriages and horses and went to the dock to pick up Li Shouzhong and his party.
Li Shouzhong traveled lightly, bringing only his wife and four servants.
It was still an official ship.
As soon as he got off the boat, Feng Yibo came forward to greet him.
After a brief chat, he took his mentor and his wife back home.
When Li Shouzhong comes this time, he will definitely not be able to stay at Jia's house.
And he has no other properties in the capital.
We can only listen to Feng Yibo's arrangements first.
After you have settled down, you can slowly look for a suitable place to live.
The main house of the Feng family had already been given away, and Feng Yibo lived in the wing next to it.
After everything was put away, the three of them had a chance to sit down and chat.
Li Shouzhong took a sip of the fragrant tea and praised:
"Okay! You are very good. Yibo, you did not disappoint me!"
Feng Yibo naturally knew that he was talking about the imperial examination.
He immediately smiled and praised: "It's all good teaching from my teacher."
Li Shouzhong’s wife Li Mengshi also smiled and said:
"It's really a good story about the two of you, master and apprentice, exploring beauty."
This is what Li Shouzhong talks about most these days and is most proud of.
I mentioned it in front of my wife more than once.
He chuckled when he heard this, then thought of something again, and asked:
"By the way, I heard that Yibo, you contradicted Mrs. Shi and alerted the Supreme Emperor?"
Feng Yibo was stunned: "Has this matter spread to Jiangnan?"
He thought it was only spread quietly in Beijing, but he didn't expect that even Jiangnan knew about it.
For him, he didn't know whether such fame was good or bad.
"It's news coming from the capital. It's said that the Supreme Emperor asked the Holy One to depose you for some reason, but the Holy One was so talented that he only demoted you by two places and still took the job."
Li Shouzhong's face became serious and he said:
"The entire Jiangnan Shilin was furious, and some even wanted to write a letter to denounce the Emperor's move."
Speaking of this, Li Shouzhong sighed and said:
"It's just that Japanese pirates have been attacking frequently recently, and Jiangnan is exhausted."
"The Jiangnan gentry were all tortured by Zhao Wensong. Therefore, although they were angry, few actually wrote to him."
He sighed one after another and continued:
"Everyone was afraid that something would happen again, so it didn't cause too much trouble."
"This disciple was confused when it came to this matter. At that time, I just wanted to pave the way for my teacher to enter the capital, but I didn't expect that a little person like me could cause the displeasure of the Supreme Emperor."
Feng Yibo responded, and then briefly explained the matter again.
After listening to what Feng Yibo said, Li Shouzhong did tap his palm.
"By the way, look at my memory!"
After Li Shouzhong finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the back.
As he walked, he said: "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten it. There is still something important that I haven't told you."
Feng Yibo was stunned and thought in confusion,
What did you mention?
I saw Li Shouzhong take out a package and start rummaging through it.
After a long time, I took out a piece of red paper from the innermost mezzanine.
This style looks familiar to Feng Yibo.
"This is it!"
