The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 330 Chang Feng makes a big fuss at the Qionglin Banquet

After the gold list was announced, the second day was a grand passing ceremony, and a Qionglin Banquet where all the heroes gathered after the passing.

Chang Feng stood at the 13th position among the new scholars, strode into the Fengtian Hall, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to thank the Emperor's mentor.

Then it was time to confer officers.

The top three in the first class and the top nine in the second class were all awarded Hanlin officials.

When it was Chang Feng's turn, Emperor Zhengde thought for a moment, and then said: "Give Chang Feng, the tenth of the second class, to enter the Hanlin Academy as a concubine!"

Emperor Zhengde played the art of imperial checks and balances. He was expressing an attitude: Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, and Gu Dayong, you have power over the government and the public, or you can cover the sky with one hand. It's all the power given by me. You must never forget your roots, and don’t have any disobedience in the future.

If not, I can let a butcher join the cabinet in the future. He is not a gentle man like Li Dongyang and Wang Hao.

Changfeng fell to the ground and kowtowed: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Chang Qing once served as the governor of Qian. Now it is unworthy to be a small seventh-grade commoner. As long as you serve well, I will definitely promote you!"

Chang Feng cupped his hands and said, "I will bear in mind the emperor's teachings. No matter how big or small your official position is, you must dedicate yourself to it, tie a grass ring in your title, and die."

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand: "What do you mean by immortality? I still want Chang Qing to serve the court for another forty years!"

When a new scholar comes to pay homage to the emperor, who is not cautious in his words and deeds? Just say a few New Year's greetings.

Unexpectedly, Chang Feng, the 10th in the top 2, would actually start talking in a weird way in the solemn Fengtian Palace: "Your Majesty, I am already forty-four years old this year. If I serve for another forty years, I will be eighty-four."

"It is said among the people that if you are seventy-three or eighty-four, the King of Hell will not ask you to go. It is also said among the people that if you are old and do not die, you are a thief."

"I have been an official for more than twenty years. There are a lot of people in the court who hate me. If I serve as an official for another forty years, I will make people hate me to death!"

As soon as Chang Feng said this, all the new scholars were horrified.

Although they knew Chang Feng's background. But I didn't expect him to be so bold. Dare to act strangely during the passing ceremony of Fengtian Hall.

Chang Feng couldn't stop talking. He deliberately looked at Jiao Fang, the second minister of the cabinet: "Is that so, Jiao Cifu?"

Jiao Fang was furious: "Chang Feng, you are brave! You, a new scholar, dare to talk nonsense and nonsense in the solemn Fengtian Hall. It is simply rude!"

Chang Feng sneered: "Oh, how can I keep up with Jiao Cifu in terms of rudeness! Jiao Cifu was not selected as a bachelor during the Chenghua period, so he just put a butcher's knife in his sleeve and prepared to stab the bachelor Peng Hua on Chang'an Road .”

"If it hadn't been for the patrolling Han general, I'm afraid Peng Hua would have been covered in blood."

"Jiao Cifu is really pleased with his grudges, so magnificent! You have a hairy face, and you call others monkeys? No matter how rude I am, can I be rude to you?"

Chang Feng was deliberately trying to find trouble with Jiao Fang.

He dared to be so rude because he understood Emperor Zhengde's thoughts.

I know my talents well. I will definitely not be able to get into the second or tenth place. It must be the emperor who made an exception for my ranking.

The emperor also arranged for me to enter the Hanlin Academy as a concubine to give me a good background. They just want me to check and balance Liu Jin and Jiao Fang’s group.

Then I might as well tell him that he would be incompatible with Liu Jin and Jiao Fang on the same day, so as to comply with the emperor's wishes.

Jiao Fang's nose was almost crooked with anger: "Chang Feng, you, you."

Chang Feng said seriously: "What's wrong with me? What I told is the truth!"

Chang Feng was so absurd that he almost disturbed the solemn passing ceremony. Not only was Emperor Zhengde not angry, but he smiled and said, "Okay, Chang Qing. Just stop being so arrogant!"

All the Jinshi were extremely surprised: He is indeed the most favored minister of the previous dynasty! When this dynasty dared to grind their teeth in front of the emperor, the emperor was not angry at all.

Chang Feng held up his hands and said, "Yes. The emperor told me to shut up, so I will shut up. I only listen to the emperor, not to those bastards in the court!"

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "It's better to open your mouth, let's get back to the topic. Dear ministers, you are new to officialdom. You have to learn from one person."

"This person is good at learning and has outstanding abilities. The most important thing is that he is virtuous! This person is Yang Tinghe, the head of the Hanlin Academy."

Yang Tinghe left the team: "I thank the emperor for your compliment."

Emperor Zhengde added: "The "Records of Xiaozong" has been compiled. Yang Qing is indispensable and should be highly rewarded. He immediately became a scholar of Dongge University and was responsible for drafting imperial edicts. "

Emperor Zhengde not only allowed Yang Tinghe to join the cabinet, but also gave him an important power - to draft imperial edicts.

The reason why Liu Jin and his gang have been so unscrupulous in the past two years is because they have the power to draft edicts, and they often correct edicts and do evil in the name of Emperor Zhengde!

Although Emperor Zhengde turned a blind eye, he was not aware of the dirty tricks inside.

Give you some sunshine and you will be brilliant; give you some flood and you will be flooded. If it becomes widespread, it must be cured!

Emperor Zhengde's appointment of Chang Feng as a concubine was a foreshadowing for future checks and balances on the eunuchs.

He appointed Yang Tinghe to the cabinet to take charge of drafting imperial edicts, which was a major move to immediately check and balance the eunuchs.

Yang Tinghe's eldest son Yang Shen could have been the number one scholar. Liu Jin and the others were tricked into making him not even a Jinshi. Lao Yang held back his anger towards the eunuchs.

He is the best person to check and balance the eunuchs.

Don't look at the ministers fighting around all day long. Today the civil servants are powerful, and tomorrow the eunuchs are powerful.

In fact, they are just pawns of the emperor. Whether it’s the court or the world, it’s just the emperor’s chessboard.

Emperor Zhengde's decree. The first person in Fengtian Hall to react was Chang Feng.

Chang Feng knelt down with a pop and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are so wise!"

His flowing kneeling posture and high-pitched heroic voice are quite similar to those of Liu Luoguo and his father-in-law, the Sixth Prince of later generations.

Only then did the new scholars react. Chang Feng followed and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

All the officials remained silent. No one dared to join in the fun and offend Liu Jin.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "I am really happy today. I have gained two hundred and forty-nine talents and a wise cabinet member. I have sent an order to Honglu Temple to hold a Qionglin Banquet! I want to have fun with all the ministers!"

At the Qionglin banquet, Chang Feng deliberately pretended to be drunk and acted like a drunkard: "You are the same age, and I became an official more than 20 years earlier than you. I will entrust you to be your senior."

"This officialdom is not easy to mess around with! There are too many bastards in the officialdom! For example, Liu Jin from the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Jiao Fang from the Cabinet, Liu Ji from the District Official, and Liu Yu from the Xia Official."

"You must abide by your bottom line and never commit yourself to being the slaves of the bastards."

"Because, these bastards will be ruined sooner or later. When that happens, you will be implicated!"

All the Jinshi looked at each other, no one dared to answer Chang Feng's words.

The first one of Erjia is burnt brown and quits! Chang Feng pointed at his nose and scolded his biological father.

Jiao Huangzhong also entered the Hanlin Academy today and was considered a colleague of Chang Feng.

As the saying goes, fish begets fish, shrimp begets shrimp, and turtle begets a big tortoise.

Jiao Fang was able to do such hooligan things as trying to stab someone with a knife on Chang'an Road. Jiao Huang Zhong was not a fuel-efficient lamp. On weekdays, he was just like a rogue, often doing random things in the capital.

Zhuang Zhong patted the wine table: "Butcher Chang, who are you scolding?"

Before he could finish his words, Chang Feng's big fist, like a sandbag, hit the scorched face directly.

Lao Ti has been riding for more than 20 years, how can his skill be matched by that of a playboy?

Zhuangzhong received this powerful and heavy punch, feeling like stars were popping up in his eyes and his ears were ringing.

Chang Feng rushed to him with a quick stride, and kept hitting Zhuo Huangzhong with his fists: "Your father is an old bastard, and you are a little bastard. Do you dare to bare your teeth in front of me?" 　　　 "I won't beat you to death. !”

Moments later, the punches were joined by kicks.

He made a grand banquet in Qionglin, beat fellow scholars, which was insulting to the gentlemen, and fighting in front of the emperor was disrespectful.

If it were anyone else, he would be imprisoned immediately.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengde, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was not only not furious, but also very excited: "Hey, this is the first time I've seen a new Jinshi fight! It's interesting!"

"Chang Qing, you are so sinister! Why did you kick him in that place? Can you kick him in that place? It will kill your descendants!"

Liu Jin saw this farce and originally planned to stop it.

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand, and Liu Jin shut up.

Jiao Fang couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "Why don't you, General Han, step forward and pull them apart?"

Now Jinyiweinan and Beizhen Fusi are all members of Liu Jin's party. The only exception was the Han generals. They are led by You Jingwu.

Liu Jin was wary of You Jingwu, but did not withdraw from him. He was ordered not to be responsible for the big and small cases of Jin Yiwei, but only to be in charge of the generals of the Han Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it turned You Jingwu from a giant of the secret service to a captain of the honor guard.

When these Han generals saw You Ye's adoptive father beating someone, they remained indifferent even though Jiao Fang ordered them at the top of his lungs.

Jiao Huangzhong was punched and kicked more than a dozen times by Chang Feng. The pain was so painful that he ignored his dignity and shouted: "Ouch, ouch. Stop hitting me! If you hit me again, you will kill me! Grandpa Chang, I was wrong!"

Emperor Zhengde finally said: "That's enough!"

Only then did Chang Feng stop. After he stopped, he spat at Zhu Huang Zhong: "Look at how dare you bare your teeth in front of me in the future! Don't let me see you in the Hanlin Academy in the future, otherwise I'll beat you every time I see you!"

All the new scholars looked at each other. How can this person be a well-educated and talented person? He's clearly a scoundrel!

Emperor Zhengde said: "Chang Qing drank too much. Jiao Qing also drank too much. It can be seen that wine is a bad thing, and being greedy will cause trouble. You should take this as a warning in the future."

"Chang Ponu, why are you still standing there? Why don't you take your father home to sober up?"

"A few more people will come and send Jiao Qing to the Hanlin Academy for treatment!"

Chang Feng was so ridiculous at the Qionglin Banquet, but Emperor Zhengde did not punish him, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the ministers.

Liu Jin was also confused: How cautious was Chang Feng before? He looks like an old fox in the officialdom. Why did you become such a brainless fool today?

Li Dongyang was also puzzled: What are the in-laws doing? Could it be that you really drank too much and became immoral after drinking?

Chang Feng naturally has his reasons for doing this.

Chang Ponu helped Chang Feng, who was drunk and walking awkwardly, out of the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, the drunkenness on Chang Feng's face disappeared. He said: "No need to help Po Nu, I'm not drunk."

Chang Ponu was surprised: "Dad, what happened to you just now? Why are you making trouble on Qionglinyan? Just follow me, follow me."

Chang Feng asked: "You look like a fool, right?"

Chang Ponu said: "Dad, you said this yourself."

Chang Feng asked with a smile: "Who are Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, and Gu Dayong?"

Chang Ponu said: "Please give me some advice from father."

Chang Feng replied: "They are political scoundrels in the court! To deal with scoundrels, you have to be more scoundrel than them! Today I just made the beginning!"

Chang Ponu said: "Father, are you going to play rogue with them in the future? You are not afraid."

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "What are you afraid of? Zhang Yong beat Liu Jin severely. Did the emperor punish him? Liu Jin can't do anything to him as well?"

"Zhang Yong is unscrupulous towards Liu Jin because the emperor wants to use him. So do I!"

That night. Liu Jin summoned the backbones of the eunuch party to discuss matters.

Liu Jin said: "I regret that I didn't do anything during the examination and let Chang Feng fail! Now that he has passed the imperial examination and returned to officialdom, he may make a lot of noise in the future!"

"Do you have any good ideas to deal with him?"

Zhang Cai, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "Eunuch Liu, the emperor is determined to use Chang Feng. Even if he fails to pass the Jinshi examination, he can still return to officialdom."

"In my opinion, Chang Feng's stay in the Hanlin Academy will be very detrimental to you. In the future, Hanlin officials can be transferred to six ministries and localities to fill actual duties."

"Chang Feng is a greater threat to you as a civil servant than as a military attaché."

Liu Jin thought for a while: "That makes sense. Go on."

Zhang Cai said again: "It's better than this. It's normal for factory guards to be temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Punishment. Let the Ministry of Punishment say hello to the Ministry of Personnel first, and call Chang Feng, a common scholar from the Hanlin Academy, to be the acting chief."

"The inner factory will send a letter to the Ministry of Punishment to transfer the acting chief Chang Feng to the inner factory as a servant."

Gu Dayong was confused: "Isn't this helping Chang Feng return to the factory guard?"

Zhang Cai nodded: "That's right! The inner factory is our own territory. They are all our people from top to bottom. What can Chang Feng do even if he enters the inner factory? It is said that it is difficult to sing alone."

"This is the best way to end his career as a civil servant!"

Liu Jin felt that Zhang Cai's words were very reasonable.

As for whether Zhang Cai's suggestion was for the sake of Liu Jin or Chang Feng, only God knows.

Gu Dayong and others were also let in by Zhang Cairao.

Gu Dayong said: "It seems to make some sense."

Liu Jin said: "Then let's do this! Cut off Chang Feng's career as a civil servant and send him back to the factory guard."

"The emperor's employees have never adhered to promotion rules. Chang Feng is staying in the Hanlin Academy. Maybe one day the emperor will have a whim and directly promote him to a ministry as a minister, or transfer him to another place as a governor."

"By then, he will be a greater threat to us."

Gu Dayong said fiercely: "Eunuch Liu, why don't you make up your mind and kill Chang Feng secretly! It will be over once and for all!"

Zhang Cai interjected: "Secret agent Chang Feng? Do you want to secretly appoint the husband of the Empress Dowager's adopted sister? The Queen's adopted father? The Emperor's uncle who relies on his humerus? The biological eldest brother of Liu Gonggong's adopted daughter?"

"Eunuch Gu, are you crazy?"

Previously, Chang Feng secretly adopted Xia Dongyue as his adopted daughter and made her the queen. Things were done very secretly at that time, and few people knew about it.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. Three years have passed, and the relationship between Chang Feng and Queen Xia is no longer a secret.

Liu Jin nodded: "Chang Feng can't kill him. It's not because of anything else. I can't bear the eternal infamy of killing my savior, Bole!"

In the fight between Liu Jin and Chang Feng, Liu Jin actually lost from the very beginning.

Being emotional is Liu Jin's biggest weakness. A true hero will not be restrained by emotions.

Therefore, Liu Jin cannot be Cao Cao, at best he can only be Wang Zhen.
