After going to court, I returned to the mansion.
Feng Yibo was surrounded by his women.
They cried and laughed.
What makes him cry is that he put himself in danger twice. He was caught by the rebels first and was imprisoned.
Later, he fought hand-to-hand with Nishou in the palace.
Fortunately, he was the one who won in the end.
But even so, the wives and concubines in the mansion are still afraid.
Even Baochai, who always kept his emotions secret, wiped away tears.
As for those who laugh, it is naturally because others are fine.
He also made great achievements and was promoted to a higher rank.
Before Feng Yibo arrived home, a servant came to deliver the decree.
The plaque on Feng Mansion has been replaced by "The Marquis Mansion of Chu State".
The huge gold-lettered signboard now hangs on the porch.
It is a pity that Emperor Xuanzhi was young and could not write the inscription himself.
So I just gave him a plaque in the name of the emperor.
Feng Yibo comforted him for a while, and then the girls reluctantly dispersed.
He went back and changed into regular clothes, and was about to go to Li Shouzhong's courtyard.
This is because I want to share with my mentor about today’s gains and losses, as well as what will happen next.
Although he was pushing from behind, pushing Li Shouzhong to the second assistant position.
But to be honest, even if Li Shouzhong becomes the first assistant, he will not listen to him everything.
Therefore, he still needs to go over and communicate with his mentor.
You can't wait until you actually encounter a disagreement to find a way to resolve it.
Feng Yibo didn't want to do anything that would irritate his ears when he got on the sedan chair.
At this moment, Da Bo came over and said:
"Master Marquis! The disciple has sent word that Second Master Lian is waiting in the hall and has something to discuss with you."
When Feng Yibo heard this, his heart moved and he said:
"First, he went to the main hall to wait, and then he told me to change my clothes and go there."
"Yes! Mr. Hou!"
When Feng Yibo arrived at the main hall, Jia Lian stood up quickly, bowed, and said:
"Master Hou..."
Feng Yibo quickly stepped forward to support him and interrupted:
"Brother Lian, you don't have to be like this. You and I can do whatever they want in private."
It seemed that Jia Lian still couldn't let go because of Yuanchun's words.
Hearing Feng Yibo say this, he forced out another smile and said:
"Master Hou, I will..."
When Feng Yibo heard this, he immediately lowered his face and interrupted him again:
"My uncle, do we have to talk like this to feel comfortable?"
"Yibo you!"
Jia Lian was startled at first.
Then he realized that Feng Yibo was angry.
He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of something, and said:
"It's my fault, Yibo, don't blame me."
This is not to blame Jia Lian for being careless, he has actually seen too much.
How many people care about what others call them after they get promoted.
Especially since Feng Yibo was promoted to the title of Chaopin this time, Jia Lian had to be careful.
This can be regarded as the foundation of Guogong Mansion.
If you are an ordinary person, you may not think of it.
If Feng Yibo becomes a prince, he will really become a person.
If the people who come to do things still use the same attitude as before, it will be easy for them to mess up.
Now, regardless of whether Feng Yibo is sincere or fake, Jia Lian's attitude has been sufficient.
That's why he looked relieved.
"Brother Lian! This is right!"
Feng Yibo smiled and nodded, then made a gesture of invitation and said:
"We'd better go inside and talk."
The two sat down and waited for the servant to serve tea before leaving.
Jia Lian said straight to the point:
"Yibo, I'm here to inquire about something."
Feng Yibo naturally guessed that something was wrong with him, but he just smiled and said "Oh?"
Jia Lian was in a hurry and had nothing to hide at the moment, so he said directly:
"You also know the errands that the Queen Mother gave me at the court meeting today, but she also told me at that time to ask Yibo if I don't understand anything. Therefore, after I took over the Dragon Scale Guard initially at the court, I came to the house to ask for advice. .”
When Yuanchun explained, his voice was not loud.
But Feng Yibo was in the front row and heard it more or less.
Therefore, he was mentally prepared for what Jia Lian wanted.
Hearing this, he smiled and said without even thinking:
"At this time, women's benevolence is the most taboo, and no confidants who are rebellious can be retained. The Zou brothers and others can just be punished as treason! As for the people below..."
Having said this, he paused slightly and then said:
"My suggestion is, keep it for your own use as much as possible."
Jia Lian naturally knew that none of Prince Zhongshun's confidants could be retained, and the management of Dragon Scale Guard would be severely tortured.
He came here this time just to ask the Dragon Scale Guard at the bottom how to deal with it.
But after hearing Feng Yibo's words, he hesitated.
"But……"
Feng Yibo waved his hand directly, interrupted him and said:
"There's nothing wrong with it! Just follow the map and find all the people and collect them. Don't alert the snake and let the people they are monitoring know."
Although the Dragon Scale Guard is secretive, it also has a roster.
Not only does Prince Zhongshun have it, but there is also a copy in the palace.
But when Jia Lian heard this, he still smiled bitterly and said:
"But those old relatives..."
What he hesitated about was not how to deal with the people below, but how to deal with those old relatives.
When he went to court, relatives from all sides held him back.
Both inside and outside the words, you have to take care of them.
It was precisely for this reason that he hesitated and came to Feng Yibo to discuss how to deal with it.
"Why do you think the Queen Mother asked you to sit in this position?"
Feng Yibo glanced sideways at him and chuckled:
"If there is no problem, we are not afraid of surveillance. If there is a problem, we cannot remove it."
Jia Lian nodded and said with a wry smile:
"Having said that, I'm worried that if this happens, the Jia family will be blamed."
All along, members of the founding family have helped and taken care of each other.
Even though the new emperor ascended the throne, Jia Lian's thinking was still stuck in "watching and helping each other", so he was naturally in a dilemma.
“If you’re afraid of everything, you can’t accomplish anything.”
Feng Yibo smiled disdainfully and said:
"Except for the people from Jia's and Feng's houses, everyone else will be retained."
This sounds like a double standard, but it is reasonable.
Jia Lian has taken over the Dragon Scale Guard, so the Jia family will naturally withdraw.
Yuanchun asked Jia Lian to listen to Feng Yibo, so Feng Yibo is naturally trustworthy.
So, is it reasonable to remove the Feng family’s Dragon Scale Guards?
Speaking of this, Feng Yibo seemed to think of something and added:
"Oh, by the way, it involves the two Shandong provinces... No! All Dragon Scale Guards in Shandong must be uprooted!"
Emperor Jingshun died under the attack of horse bandits, and all the prefectures in Shandong are now trying their best to suppress the bandits.
Now it is confirmed that Prince Zhongshun is the traitor.
In addition to the horse bandits, the Dragon Scale Guards in Shandong must also be involved.
In fact, Feng Yibo didn't need to say this, Jia Lian had already arranged it.
But when Feng Yibo mentioned Shandong, he naturally had deep meaning.
At this time, Feng Yibo asked with a half-smile:
"Speaking of Shandong, I heard that you are also involved in something there. I don't know whether this is true or not?"
When Jia Lian heard this, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his stool!
His face turned slightly pale, and he asked tremblingly:
"Where did you hear that?"
Feng Yibo did not answer, but pretended to smile mysteriously, and only said:
"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be surprised if you are struck by thunder."
He heard it from Prince Zhongshun, so naturally he couldn't tell the source of the news.
Fortunately, Jia Lian trusted him very much and did not ask for details.
It can be seen that Jia Lian is not a qualified spy leader at this time.
When Feng Yibo revealed the secret in his heart, his face looked very ugly.
After a long while, he sighed and said with a wry smile:
"Alas! It's a long story. I was also blinded by lard."
Scumbags, drunkards, gamblers, and people who break the law are all fond of saying this.
Obviously, Jia Lian is one of them.
"To be honest with you, Yibo, I provoked my father because of some things at that time, and he almost beat me to death!"
Feng Yibo just wanted to hear what Jia Lian had to say.
After all, based on his understanding of Jia Lian, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing.
If he denied it, there was no need for him to talk nonsense.
I've given you a chance, and you can't blame me if you don't take it!
When the bandit suppression is over, he will directly ask people to investigate and collect evidence.
Now it seems that there is still a little hidden secret.
However, if it was just a beating, it would not be called pitiful.
"I was scared of him, so when he asked me to do something, even though I didn't want to do it, I didn't dare to refuse."
Jia Lian seemed a little scared.
I just don't know, it's because I'm afraid of Jia She's beating.
Still afraid that the incident would happen and Feng Yibo would know about it.
In short, he defended himself vigorously.
"I just thought at the time that even if I didn't go, he would do it. Then I would be implicated as well. I might as well do it and be more careful."
This is somewhat interesting.
The good deeds done by Jia She will be followed by the Jia family.
Not to mention his son.
Moreover, this era also pays attention to "hiding relatives from each other".
Unless it is a crime such as treason, it can be regarded as killing one's relatives for justice.
For other things, if the son complains to the father, he will only be accused of being unfilial.
And he will also sentence his son.
"Thinking about it now, I often regret it. Although my father's life is difficult, it would be better for him to beat me to death than to suffer like this day and night!"
After all, Jia Lian had some sympathy for the lower class, and doing such a thing made him suffer.
Unfortunately, a mistake will always be a mistake.
No matter what excuse he had, it still touched Feng Yibo's bottom line.
"After that was done, he finally felt a little better. When he came back, he rewarded me with a girl as a concubine."
Hearing this, Feng Yibo said dumbfounded:
"Are you short of women?"
Jia Lian scratched his neck and said aggrievedly:
"Of course there is no shortage! I have never even touched the Qiutong he rewarded me with!"
Without Wang Xifeng's control, he certainly wouldn't be short of women.
Although Qiutong is still pretty, she is not outstanding.
Otherwise, Jia She would not be willing to give it to him.
Feng Yibo sighed and said:
"You can resolve this matter when you go back. I believe that with the current strength of the Jia family, there is no problem if you want to resolve it."
Emperor Jingshun was killed by horse bandits, and all officials in Shandong had to follow suit.
At this time, the new emperor's grandfather went to work at his house.
No one dares to refuse!
Even, they have to rush to help solve the problem, hoping to get a lighter punishment.
"I will send you two Japanese girls later to enrich the back house. Don't make people think that you always look like you have never seen a woman before."
With the status of the Jia family, there are ten thousand ways to make money.
But they chose the worst one.
Feng Yibo really hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and he didn't even bother to ask specific questions.
No matter what, he will expose this matter.
Before that, let the Jia family redeem the land they sold.
I hope I can still make up for the losses of those people, and also show my last favor to the Jia family.
If they still don't know how to look back, then don't blame yourself for not recognizing your relatives.
When Jia Lian heard this, he said hesitantly:
"But my father's side..."
He really wanted to repent, but he couldn't stop Jia She.
"There's one more thing you need to do as soon as possible."
Feng Yibo said everything he needed to say, and stopped answering his words. Instead, he said:
"The Nanjing side is extremely involved. My suggestion is that except for the Dragon Scale Guards who are lurking in each family, the rest must be uprooted."
After a pause, he said casually:
"In addition, you must help me destroy all information involving Prince Donghai, especially regarding his identity."
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this and said hesitantly:
"this……"
If there is no more suitable candidate, Jia Lian's temperament is really not suitable for taking charge of the Dragon Scale Guard.
Feng Yibo was helpless and could only sneer:
"If you don't want to help, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jia Lian was startled and said hurriedly:
"What the hell! Your business is my business, but the Duke of Donghai..."
Feng Yibo helped him too much.
Now that I finally asked him for something, how could Jia Lian not want to help?
But forget it if it's Feng Yibo's matter, he always feels a little guilty when it comes to matters involving the Duke of Donghai.
Prince Zhongshun's rebellion made him a little jealous of the princes in the court.
"I advise you not to read this information then, let alone let others see it."
Feng Yibo interrupted him impatiently and said solemnly:
"Anything involving these materials, whether it is from Duzhong or Nanjing, you must personally investigate and destroy it yourself."
When he said this, his voice sank and he said with a hint of threat:
"Otherwise, if the news leaks out and the King of Donghai County breaks away from Wei Dynasty again, don't blame me for not warning you."
When Jia Lian heard this, he was immediately shocked and said:
"Is he going to rebel too?"
Although Feng Yibo was talking about breaking away from the Wei Dynasty, surrendering and rebelling again was also rebellion!
This is what Jia Lian is most worried about about these princes!
"His identity has always been kept secret because he is afraid that others will find out and his family will be implicated. When the time comes, using this threat, his only choice will be to move his family overseas."
】
Feng Yibo was afraid that Jia Lian would see the information, so he vaccinated him first.
When Jia Lian heard such a secret, his face suddenly turned bitter, and he didn't know what to do.
When Feng Yibo saw this, he pulled the tiger's skin and pulled the banner again:
"The Queen Mother asked you to ask me more about everything. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian relaxed slightly.
yes!
The Queen Mother asked me to listen to him, so I just do it!
"I understand. I will implement it later. After the investigation is completed in Duzhong, I will go to Jinling again."
Seeing his attitude, Feng Yibo nodded with satisfaction and warned:
"The news of the rebellion has probably reached Jinling a long time ago. You should first send a message to the government there to arrest them. They will be seen alive and their bodies will be seen dead."
After a pause, he said quietly:
"Lest they persist in their evil intentions and threaten each family with secrets."
After hearing this, Jia Lian understood the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly said:
"Okay! I'll make arrangements right away!"
The families Feng Yibo mentioned were not just the Jiangnan families that Jia Lian was thinking of.
And he, the King of Donghai County.
Among the people who know his identity, apart from Prince Zhongshun, he is Zou Desheng, the commander of Nanjing Longlin Guards.
As a confidant of Prince Zhongshun, he has been labeled as a rebel.
He must have been caught by this time and severely tortured.
Or he would be on the run, not daring to stand out.
Even if he comes out now and reveals the identity of the Donghai Commandery King.
It is estimated that very few people believe it.
But for Feng Yibo.
No one said, wouldn't it be better?
For such a rebellious person, it would be better to die early.
After all, only the mouth of the dead is stricter.
