Chapter 389 Reunion (2)
“Young people are passionate and impulsive.” Feng Changshi drank a lot of wine tonight, and he complained aloud: “You know it’s impossible, but you still come. What to do? "
"It doesn't matter if he comes, everyone in our palace will be troubled. If you want to greet him, you should prepare a gift when you leave."< br>
"Also, with so many people, a few days of food and accommodation is not a small expense. Although we have a lot of food in Nanyang County, we cannot waste it like this."
Chen Changshi was amused. He reached out and patted his old friend on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "You, the right-hand man in charge of household affairs, are getting more and more picky. You even care about this small ration."
Feng Changshi glared: "Why can't I care about it? The three imperial envoys went to relieve the people, and most of the food came from our Nanyang County. Now I'm leaving, and I came to Nanyang County to fight the autumn wind. I'm very angry. ”
Chen Changshi laughed.
After Feng Changshi drank too much, he also laughed and laughed at himself: "It is really difficult to be the head of the princess and take care of food and money. I have never been like this before."
"He who can do the hard work." Chen Changshi smiled and coaxed: "There is no one else to do this job except you." People can do it. Anyone can change the palace without you."
Feng Changshi smiled and took a sip: "You can't think of me as an ignorant little girl, just open your mouth. You can’t do without me. How many more years can I do at this age?”
"If I work for another five years at most, I will have to retire as an official."
Feng Changshi is a few years older than Chen Changshi. He is fifty-five this year. If he works for another five years, he will be sixty. Indeed It's time to retire. However, there are serious high-ranking officials in the court, such as Prime Minister Wang and Duke An, who are on duty until seventy.
Chen Changshi smiled and said: "If you want to retire in five years, you have to train a capable minister who can take over your errands. Otherwise, even if the princess is willing to let him go, you will not be able to rest assured. "
Feng Changshi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't need you to remind me, I have already chosen the candidate."
"Tang Youyin?" Chen Changshi asked with a smile.
Feng Changshi nodded: "He is thirty-one this year. He is smart and capable, and he can do things calmly. After another four or five years of training, he will be able to be of great use."
The princess placed great emphasis on the Tang family, He tried his best to promote Tang Youyin, but it happened that Tang Youyin was also a very ambitious and capable person, so he naturally had to be "tempered" easily.
Chen Changshi smiled and said: "Take it easy and don't practice too hard."
Feng Changshi said: "If jade is not polished, it cannot be used. Tang Youyin has not gone through it. In the imperial examination, the family background is somewhat lacking. If there is no How can he convince the public if he has extraordinary ability?"
"He also knows very well that no matter what errands I send, he never says a word until midnight and always asks me for advice."< br>
If you want a good future, you must have the corresponding skills. Otherwise, why would it be his turn to take the lead?
After chatting for a while, Feng Changshi got tired and got up to go back to rest.
Chen Changshi was not in a hurry to sleep. He wrote a letter under the candlelight and had it sent out overnight.
Wang Jin’s youthful sentiments are indeed worthy of praise. It's a pity that King Xiang has a dream about the goddess but he doesn't have the intention, and the princess obviously doesn't have this intention. As Zuo Changshi, he had to worry about secretly solving this little trouble for the princess.
This letter is written to an old friend of the DPRK and China. This person happens to have a good personal relationship with Prime Minister Wang, so he can go and "remind" Prime Minister Wang in private.
...
That night, Wang Jin was full of thoughts, and he barely fell asleep after three o'clock. The next morning, I got up early. Jiang Shaohua had the habit of getting up in the morning to practice martial arts. After Wang Jin inquired about it, he went to the martial arts field.
The young man who saw Jiang Shaohua practicing martial arts for the first time could not help but be shocked by that vigorous and dashing figure. Wang Jin stood a few meters away, almost stunned.
Jiang Shaohua's ears and eyesight are very keen, and she was aware of Wang Jin's arrival. However, she did not stop and practiced until the end as usual. The blood is sufficient, the energy is high, and there is a slight sweat on the forehead.
"Why didn't Mr. Wang She take more rest and came here early in the morning?" Jiang Shaohua walked over slowly with a smile on his lips.
Wang Jin's fair and handsome face quietly turned red, and he responded with a smile: "I have long heard that the princess is very powerful and unparalleled, and today I finally saw it. I admire you very much."
Jiang Shaohua smiled lightly and said: "Everyone has his or her own merits. Wang She has learned a lot from others and is good at calligraphy. He Qidao is a young talent like no other in Daliang."
"The most rare thing is that Wang Sheren is dedicated to his work and cares about the people, and I admire him very much."
< br>Wang Jin was so praised that she felt light all over, and her handsome face showed a rare expression.
Then, the princess changed her tone and expressed regret in her tone: "It's a pity that Wang Sheren is from the Wang family. In the future, I am afraid that she will be burdened by Prime Minister Wang and will not be able to serve as a minister of the beams and humerus. She will even be criticized and scolded by everyone. 1 Thinking of this, I feel sorry for Wang Sheren."
Wang Jin: "..."
Wang Jin looked stiff and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
If anyone else would criticize his biological father to his face like this, he would have rebuked him to his face. But the person who said this was Jiang Shaohua, and his tone was so matter-of-fact. Not only was he unable to refute, he even felt a little ashamed.
“Two years ago, there was a drought in the north, and Prime Minister Wang did not respond in time. Then there was the locust plague, and Prime Minister Wang still did nothing. Everyone knows why the chaos in Pingzhou started.”
Jiang Shaohua looked at Wang Jin steadily, and his speech speed was not very fierce, but his words were extremely sharp: "As a prime minister, he has neither tolerance for others nor pity for the people. He has the ability to govern the country, but he will Most of the focus is on forming cliques and fighting for power and profit.”< br>
“What kind of life the people in the north of Daliang are living, I think you have seen it with your own eyes in the past few months.”
“Let me ask you, whose responsibility is this?”
Wang Jin was speechless and speechless.
The late emperor was seriously ill and lay in bed, and his government affairs were entrusted to Prime Minister Wang. The newly enthroned emperor was still young, so he still relied on the prime minister to govern the country.
Therefore, if there is such chaos in the north of Daliang and the people are miserable, who else can be blamed if not Prime Minister Wang?
"Also, the Pingzhou plague broke out, and the Pingzhou rebels deserved to die. But what are the other ordinary people's crimes?"
Jiang Shao's eyes suddenly brightened, like two sword lights. Sharp and compelling: "Besides calling the imperial envoys back to Beijing, what other countermeasures are there? Have they ever sent imperial doctors to treat the plague? Have they ever planned to send imperial envoys to appease the people and calm their hearts?"< br>
"No, the Prime Minister doesn't plan to do anything. The imperial court ignores Pingzhou and allows the plague to run rampant. It doesn't care how many people die. It doesn't matter if the plague spreads to other states and counties. Anyway, it is far away from the capital, and everyone will die. It’s the people in the north who can’t make it to the capital.”
“Wang Jin, tell me, whose fault is this?”
Wang Jin was unable to look into those bright black eyes, so he subconsciously looked away and took a step back.
