Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 548 Abandoning the Car and Keeping the Handsome

Feng Jie was naturally filled with anger.

"Xianyang City has been turned upside down a long time ago. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"My son persuaded my grandfather like this before, but my grandfather thought that it would be useless for my father to come back. It would be better to take the opportunity to establish prestige in the military. This is the most beneficial thing for the Feng family today. My father didn't know that his uncle was from Nanyang County. The governor of the county, Wang Wu, the censor who had previously inspected, found out his faults, which made your majesty furious, and reprimanded him, saying that the clan uncle was not as good as the former Shiren Xiao He."

"Xiao He? The Huayang Palace official who caused a lot of discussion in the whole court?"

"It's him!"

Feng Jie was so angry that he almost trembled after hearing this!
"His Majesty's various actions can be said to be a slap in the face of my father, the prime minister, in front of the civil and military officials of the court."

"My son also feels that Your Majesty has gone too far. Our Feng family has worked for the empire from top to bottom, but we have ended up like this. The most hateful thing is that Your Majesty favors the Wang family. A few days ago, Wang's brothers They were all transferred to Xianyang City. Without Wang Wu, there is still Wang Gang."

After Feng Jie heard these things, he jumped up in anger!
"Wang Gang? That bastard who only knows how to plunder people's wealth and anointing has come to Xianyang City! Do you know? When your grandfather was not the Yushi doctor, I was an official in the Yushitai. He has done a lot of bastard things. If it weren't for him, My father was the prime minister of the dynasty, so I would definitely report what he did to the late emperor."

Feng Changan couldn't help but nodded.

"But father, you let the concubine of the Wang family go. This Wang Wu became the censor, but you reported the Feng family's status to Your Majesty. If those concubines were like that, who wouldn't be able to produce something wrong? But. It is our Feng family’s eldest son who is taking the blame this time.”

"The great uncle Feng Yongna is the person who will inherit the title of his great uncle [Feng Wuze] in the future. What Wang Wu did shocked my uncle. My uncle was originally resting in the suburbs of the city, but my uncle personally I personally drove to the mansion and insisted on asking my grandfather to show Mr. Wang how powerful he is."

Feng Jie originally dismissed his father, thinking that his father was getting older and became more and more greedy. Now it seems that it was all forced by the emperor.

"However, based on Chang'an's understanding of my grandfather, even if my uncle doesn't come, my grandfather will take it out on my uncle. Who would have thought that His Majesty would take this opportunity to flatten the military family. All the sons of Shi Teng were beheaded in public display.”

"Anything else?"

……

……

Today was a day off, but Feng Changan still didn't go to attend to his grandfather's illness. He was busy "making up lessons" for his father.Being too far apart and only sending letters, Feng Jie missed too much information.

Feng Jie clenched his fists tightly, but he could only throw his anger and resentment at the copper case.

While understanding Feng's grievances with the emperor and Feng this year, Feng Jie also knew that Feng's situation was doomed, because the Yushitai and Dali Temple had both fallen into the hands of the Meng family.

Feng Jie finally figured out why the emperor ignored Feng now because his father Feng Quji broke the emperor's weapon to check and balance the government - the separation of powers.

The emperor's purpose of decentralizing power was to control the government, but his father's move made it almost impossible for Wang Wu to stand up, and almost allowed Feng to regain power.

"Wang Wu is a man who succeeds more than he fails. He doesn't even know the most basic principles of being an official."

"Father, he doesn't understand the principles of being an official. He only thinks about being loyal to the emperor. He found out the fault of our Feng family, and then he climbed to the top in one step. He wants to sit in his grandfather's seat."

After hearing this, Feng Jie smiled mockingly, and his beards on both sides were blown up.

"Is it him? The former Prime Minister is tall and tall, and his belly is full of economic wisdom. He is big and round, and his mind is full of those little ninety-nine."

At this time, Wang Wu had not long arrived in the land of Jingchu, and the person who received him was naturally Zhao Tuo's general Chi Wu.

That night, he only felt that his earlobes were itchy and unbearable.

Xianyang Feng Mansion.

"But what your Majesty is doing now is too ruthless. You must know that we Feng and Lord Dongyang had many interactions on that day..."

"Father, you are still living in the past. The late Emperor is gone, and no one can make decisions for us anymore. Many old officials in the court are clamoring to retire."

"Then did they retire?"

Feng Changan shook his head.

"Of course not."

Feng Jie laughed dryly after hearing this.

"Is it possible that the Feng family has just declined?"

"Father, you must not do it. If the Feng family declines like this, I will definitely be the sinner of the Feng family."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. What sinners do not sinners."

"You go out. I want to have some peace and quiet for my father's sake. My return must not be revealed to anyone."

"Changan understands."

Feng Jie stayed alone in the study, tired and tired, but fear made him energetic and he couldn't sleep at all.

Feng Jie now fully understands why his father claimed to be sick, and he was afraid that the emperor sent someone to see the doctor, and it was just for fun.

The current Qin II may be waiting for his father's resignation in the palace.

Regardless of the cause, his father took away the most critical card in Nisei's hand, and Nisei would never forgive his father.Based on Feng's previous experiences, it can be seen that the new emperor is actually very repulsive to this kind of officialdom protection. These tricks of his are all old-fashioned methods of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, in order to establish authority in front of hundreds of officials and establish a reputation in front of the world. The image of a benevolent king.

Let father give up his position as prime minister and make progress by retreating. This is the best solution now.The second generation no longer trusted the prime minister, even if his father recovered from his illness and returned to the court, under the heavy pressure of the two Meng brothers, the prime minister would not be able to gain prestige at all!

And even though the Feng family no longer had his father as prime minister, they still had him as General Feng, and Feng Yong, the Marquis of Wuxin who would later ascend the throne.With the two of them here, although the Feng family did not have the reputation of having a prime minister in their family in the past, they were still a very important family in the court.Otherwise, when the emperor becomes more powerful in the future, and people from the Wang family try to instigate them again, the emperor will definitely make it difficult for the Feng family to suffer.

Feng's reputation in the court is no longer what it used to be, and Meng's reputation for loyalty is not as well-known throughout the world. She quietly retired at this time, but allowed Feng to retain the strength to make a comeback.

Feng Jie calculated that his son Chang'an was still in his prime. Although he was nominally accompanying him in the palace, he would definitely not entrust Chang'an with important responsibilities, even if he was asked to do odd jobs. Instead, the minister's desk became The fence that trapped Chang'an.

He still had to find a way to get Chang An to leave the Chancery.

Only by staying away from the emperor's surveillance could Chang'an have the opportunity to re-enter the court through the efforts of the Feng family.

Taixue——

Learn from Taixue!
Feng Jie rubbed the back of his head and racked his brains to think that he should have placed Chang'an in Taixue from the beginning.

How could he forget it?Everyone in the Imperial Academy is extremely grateful to Lord Dongyang. The most luxurious Imperial Academy in the world is full of people who want to be loyal to the second generation...

What opportunities are there for Chang'an to enter Taixue, and what is his status?
Feng Jie thought hard and stroked his white hair in front of the candlestick.

Feng Chang'an walked in the corridor covered with moonlight, heading towards his grandfather's big room, but from a distance he saw that the candles had been extinguished. Although it was night, the weather was still very hot. After taking a few steps, he felt hot. He wanted to go back and sleep in the same room with his father. After all, the father and son had not seen each other for a long time, but he was worried that his father's return would be exposed to more servants, so he returned to his residence.

This young face looked extremely white and tender under the moonlight. He did not realize at all that from now on, he would never see his grandfather alive again.

Feng Changan looked up at the moon and heaved a long sigh.

He hoped that his grandfather could recover as soon as possible and stand in the Qin court again, being worshiped by hundreds of officials. He could only let others see his face at the Chancellor's desk, not the faces of a group of eunuchs.

With such expectation, Feng Changan walked faster and faster, his light footsteps falling in the corridor, and the sound of "ding" came from the huge and quiet mansion, which was extremely loud.

……

……

……

There was no candle in Feng Quji's room, but the moonlight outside the window was exceptionally bright.

The old man fell asleep after his son left.Until now, he has not eaten a drop of water or a grain of rice.It looked like a dead fish lying on the collapse, but it exuded a bitter medicinal smell.

The old prime minister discovered a very strange thing. When his son and grandson were indoors, it was extremely cool inside. Although he opened his clothes, he actually felt the room was cold.

This was not the case before. No matter how much ice he ordered, the house would never be as cool as it is today.

Feng Quji suddenly remembered that those doctors either couldn't tell the symptoms, or said that he was not sick. Maybe he was not sick in the first place, and someone in the mansion was secretly playing tricks on him.

July is a hot month, and the heat makes people dizzy, vomiting, and depressed.

In the dead of night, a female family member walked in.She walked lightly and made no sound as she walked into the room.

When Feng Quji heard the sound, he opened his eyes suddenly. He looked at the roof, but his hands clenched into fists. It wasn't that he didn't want to wake up the servant, but he was preparing a fatal blow to catch him and expose him prematurely. It will only alert the enemy.Moreover, at this moment, Feng Quji could rule out that the two sleeping people were not the ones who wanted to harm him.

Feng Quji once served the emperor in the palace and climbed to the position of prime minister step by step. He had seen and heard more of this kind of quietly taking people's lives.The emperor's hands were not only many, but also stretched out very long, and there were countless courtiers who died inexplicably.

The maid came into the room with the candlestick, but she didn't approach Feng Quji, she just walked to the hollowed-out copper box where the ice cubes were placed, first put down the candlestick tiptoely, and then turned the mechanism lightly to open the copper box.

The copper box is always filled with ice in the morning, and again at noon, until evening.

The ice cubes melted and absorbed the heat in the room. By the afternoon, all the ice cubes melted into water and fell into the bowl under the wooden frame supporting the copper box.

After the copper box was opened, the ice crystals glowed brightly in the moonlight.

The maid then opened the wooden box she brought. The wooden box was actually filled with water. She poured the water in the wooden box into the alms bowl, and then put the crystal stones in the copper box into the wooden box one by one.

When everything was done, she quietly exited the room with light steps.

Feng Quji's bed was far away from the copper box. If he was fast asleep, he would not hear any sound at all. Even if he heard any movement, he would not be surprised. He is an old man and always feels uncomfortable at night. Someone came to serve him, pour him a chamber pot, or perform other services.
