Chapter 152 Proclamation
Chen Suwen still met Feng Jian in the back hall. When he met, Feng Jian walked to Chen Suwen's seat and kowtowed, "I'm going to see Uncle." Then he lowered his eyebrows and waited for Chen Suwen to speak.
The words that Chen heard in his ears came: "Oh, I've just been missing, you boy has become honest! Are you feeling guilty and afraid that I won't agree to the proposal?"
Seeing that Feng Jian was still looking down and pleasing to the eyes, Chen Suwen was in a great mood: "Get up, I saw that you are also ambitious, so I had to aggrieved Li Lan to marry her to you as your wife. After accepting the reward, I will arrange someone to come and propose marriage!"
Feng Jian's heart suddenly felt happy and wanted to fly up, and kowtowed, "Uncle Xie is fulfilled."
Chen Suwen laughed and scolded: "What are you doing on the ground? Do you want me to support you!"
"Don't dare!"
When Chen Suo-heard agreed to the marriage, Feng Jian suddenly felt a little restrained. After standing up, he didn't know how to speak.
Chen Suwen changed the topic and said: "You are so important to the court to submit to you, the bandit leader, and you actually sent someone to pass the imperial edict. Don't you think it's strange?"
The storm that happened in the Wenhua Palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year was already spreading rapidly across the officialdoms of all sizes like a bird with wings. Pingduzhou was the target of the storm this time, so Chen Shuwen had a detailed understanding of the whole process of the matter.
The main and auxiliary officials of the imperial cabinet played against each other, and even he became the pawns in the opponent's hands. The main and auxiliary officials of this round ended with victory.
Because he is also considered to be Zhou Yanru's family, he gained benefits and became the beneficiary of this game.
Although I became a chess piece at the mercy of others, I was one of the biggest beneficiaries in this incident. Even the emperor now believes that commenting on his memorials in front of all the important officials in the court is an exception.
Not to mention the rewards I received for the report, it was a great opportunity to remember the name of the magistrate Pingdu, and from then on, my career path was smooth! Since then, I received this good news early this morning, Chen Suwen has been in an excited mood.
Looking at Feng Jian who looked a little puzzled in front of him, it can be said that all this was because of the young man in front of him! Since Feng Jian appeared, good things happened one after another. First, his daughter suddenly appeared, and then the bandit leader announced his surrender to the court and took the initiative to clear the Nanjiaolai River to restore the sea transportation channel on the Jiaolai River. The most unexpected thing is that his memorial book actually attracted the attention of the emperor. Because this memorial book was actually in the heart of the emperor, Chen Shuwen sighed secretly.
He coughed and said, "Do you know why you, a small bandit, surrendered to the court, have a special envoy to come and pass the imperial edict to reward you!"
Seeing that Feng Jian scratched his head and said without saying anything, he laughed and said, "After all, what you did is exactly what catered to the current emperor's will, and he was rewarded with an extraordinary rule!"
Feng Jian was even more confused when he heard what Chen heard. What he did cater to the will of the holy? Is it true that his surrender to the court was in line with the will of the holy? Thinking about it, it might be that his surname was not big. Or was he invested in the clearance of the Nanjiaolai River in line with the will of the holy? It seemed that the emperor would not care about the management of a small river in the place.
I couldn't figure out what he looked at Chen Suwen and said, "I'm stupid, I can't figure out what exactly is in line with the holy will!"
Chen Suwen praised: "It seems that you don't think it's in line with the will of the sage just by leading the crowd to surrender to the court. Alas, this matter involves the contest between the important officials of the court. You just need to know that you have gained great benefits in this contest. I really can't explain it clearly to you for a while."
Feng Jian was not serious either. He wanted to know what benefits he had gained the most now!
Chen Suwen Fuxu continued: "At the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor held my memorial book and read it in public, because in the memorial book, I emphasized that you were surrendering to the court's sincerity and willing to pay for the Nanjiaolai River out of your own pocket. Therefore, the emperor praised you very much. The chief assistant Zhou Yanru and Zhou Ge Lao proposed to directly award you as the fifth-rank guard of the Xunying Camp in Pingduzhou, with 500 soldiers under his command, and the main responsibilities of managing the Jiaolai River waterway and inspecting water goods. It can be said that in the future, all matters of Jiaolai River are under the jurisdiction of your Xunying Camp!"
Speaking of this, looking at Feng Jian, it is very clear that Feng Jian can get a great reward from the emperor. There is the contribution of the chief minister Zhou Yanru, which shows from the side that he has a close connection with the Zhou Yanru group.
Feng Jian is so smart. He understood what Chen heard about it and understood that he was included in the Zhou Yanru group without realizing it.
Feng Jian remembered that in another two or three years, Zhou Yanru would be framed by Wen Tiren and resigned and returned home, becoming the loser of the struggle between Zhou and Wen.
The important reason for Zhou Yanru's failure in the struggle between the two sides was of course the loss of Chongzhen's favor. One more important reason was that his confidant, Kong Youde, under the command of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, led his troops to launch a rebellion, which caused the disaster to the land of Shandong in three years.
Wen Tiren and his team seized this opportunity and criticized them, which made Zhou Yanru and his team very passive and were eventually driven out of the center.
Feng Jian was both surprised and happy. Just being awarded an official and receiving rewards did not make him more excited, but he was given 500 soldiers at once and gave him the management of Jiaolai River completely to himself for management, which was not simple.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that once the Jiaolai River is cleared and resumed maritime shipping, the number of merchants traveling between the Pingdu and the surrounding areas will inevitably increase sharply, and the Jiaolai River will inevitably become a golden waterway. Compared with charging the toll fees for passing ships alone, it is a huge income.
In the eyes of outsiders, the 500 soldiers in the Zhouxun Camp could allow the guards to eat a lot of empty salary. However, in Feng Jian’s view, this was a good opportunity to expand his strength. With the 500 soldiers, he could openly request the court to issue a batch of weapons, weapons and equipment.
Feng Jian knelt down again and said, "Without my uncle's care and support, how could I have the benefit of Feng Jianjin? Please accept my nephew's greeting!"
Chen Suwen helped Feng Jian up and said, "The nephew will soon be a garrison military officer of the fifth rank, and I am the official position of the fifth rank. I am afraid I will not dare to accept your courtesy in the future!"
Feng Jian was really excited at this time and said, "No matter how high the official position is, I will kneel down when I see you in the future, my father-in-law!"
"Hahaha"
The two of them laughed happily and cheerfully at the same time. As Chen Suwen's confidant housekeeper, Chen Fu could clearly hear the slight dialogue between Chen Suwen and Feng Jian from beginning to end.
He was extremely envious of the good luck Feng Jian obtained, and at the same time he was happy for Feng Jian because his master had agreed to marry Miss Li Lan to Feng Jian as his wife.
The higher the official position Feng Jian received, the more rewards the court gave, the greater the benefits to the master Chen Chen. In this Pingdu world, there was a fifth-rank soldier's son-in-law's support, and the blind man dared to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, he spoke: "The villain went to the kitchen to hold a banquet, invite the master and Mr. Feng to the table, how about drinking and talking?"
"Well, you can drink a small amount tonight. When Mingyue's official decree arrives, everything will be settled, and it will not be too late to celebrate again."
Feng Jian smiled and said, "Nephew knows now. Why did my uncle place my guards in Zhouxun Camp? It turns out that I have known the inside story long ago. The Zhouxun Camp is dilapidated, so my subordinates are very sturdy to be safe!"
"I knew you would not suffer any loss for a long time. Don't worry, I have ordered the craftsmen in the city of Zhou to overhaul the Zhouxun barracks to ensure that you and your subordinates can live in a safe and comfortable manner. But remember the guarantee you made to me and wipe out all the bandits in Daze Mountain within one year!"
Feng Jian rolled his eyes and said, "Before you saw the weapons and weapons you promised to allocate, you urged your nephew to go and suppress the thieves. This is too difficult for you!"
"The weapon and weapon will definitely be fulfilled!" Chen Suwen thought for a moment and then said, "When the envoy who sent the imperial edict away, let Chen Fu go to the arsenal with his official card. As long as the weapon and weapon in the arsenal are available for you to choose, there is only one condition, that is, to wipe out all the bandits in Daze Mountain and eliminate these bandits that are harmful to the place."
Feng Jianzhengrong said: "Please wait patiently for a while and wait for my Huluyan to protect you."
In the back hall of the official office, Chen Suwen drank a few drinks, and then Feng Jian said goodbye. The Ming Dynasty said that the envoy who announced the edict could go directly to the prefecture camp to announce the edict, or to announce the edict in the lobby of this prefecture.
It was the first time Chen Shuwen that the angel who received the imperial edict was received, so it was impossible to be sure where the person who announced the imperial edict would go?
After noon, Feng Jian, who had been staying in the Zhouxun barracks waiting for news, suddenly received a message from Pingdu Prefecture, asking him to rush to the back hall of the prefecture to pay homage to the envoy who had announced the edict and accept the reward from the court.
Prosecutor Feng had already prepared and kicked two thousand taels of silver bills in his arms, and ordered Zhao Shougang to gather in Zhenshan Camp to guard and be ready to accept the inspection by those who proclaimed the imperial edict at any time.
Then he led Cheng Yousheng, Shen Xiaoshan and others to hunt the enemy, and crossed the horse and headed straight to the government office in the north of the city.
From a distance, I saw the gate of the government office open, and various ceremonial guards were displayed on the left and right sides of the government office office. There were two great Han generals on both sides of the gate to guard them with their chests raised and their belly folded.
More than 20 other horses of Feng Jian and others ran from far to near, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone waiting on the side of the Yimen Gate. The state general Fang Zengwei immediately walked out of the crowd and stopped Feng Jian and others, saying enviously: "Young friend Feng quickly dismounted, the angel who issued the order has entered and is greeting the magistrate. Please come in and pay homage to the angels and accept the reward!"
Feng Jian jumped off his war horse, put the reins to Cheng Yousheng, bowed to Fang Zengwei and thanked him. Then Fang Zengwei led his men from Yimen to the government office and walked all the way to the back hall.
As soon as I walked into the back hall, I saw that the decoration of the back hall had changed. A table was set up in the north, with incense lit on it, and a brocade box wrapped in bright yellow satin was enshrined in the middle. Compared to the imperial decree inside, it was filled with the imperial decree.
On the right side of the table were two magistrate chairs, Chen Suwen sat upright, and was talking to a middle-aged man wearing a fourth-rank official uniform. The two were talking in a low voice, and on the left two magistrate chairs were placed. At this time, sitting upright on it, the two were also talking in a low voice.
Feng Jian's eyes naturally noticed the two people on the left. He saw the official wearing a Zhongjing crown and a third-rank red python robe sitting upright on the lower left. Seeing that this person was 45 or 6 years old, his eyes were calm and gentle, he inadvertently brought out a hint of elegance.
A person sat upright on the upper left, a young man with a pretty face, a beardless lip and chin sitting in the middle of the hall. The man wore a loyal crown and a plain green unicorn suit with round neck and narrow sleeves, revealing a bright red silk lining. The plain green color matches the bright red to show the person's beauty.
