Although the biggest excuse for Feng Xifan to force the palace in the future was ruled out, Feng Xifan did not suffer any obvious losses in the rumor turmoil. He blocked Zheng Kezang from meeting Zhu Jin face to face, but his sophistry turned it into covering up Zhu Jin's ugly hangover. He escaped another catastrophe, but Zheng Kezang did not give up his efforts to remove the malignant tumor in front of Zhu Jin, and soon he found another opportunity.

"Father, father-in-law is really not in good health. He has only been back to recuperate for two days and he is already ill." Zheng Kezang accompanied Zhu Jin to have breakfast. The family love is here, which makes Zhu Jin, who has completely eliminated his ambition, very relieved. "My son wants to go and have a look."

"It's okay, it's not convenient for Gu to go there, so you can go there on behalf of Gu." Zhu Jin has a reason for saying this, no, when Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, ate the goose given by Emperor Taizu and induced gangrene, he had already healed As a result, when Zhu Yuanzhang went to visit, Xu Da had to report the funeral the next day if he didn’t want to die. , the king will basically not visit the sick ministers --- that is not condolences but reminders.

"Yes, my son will come over in the afternoon." Zheng Kezang filled another bowl for himself, which was not enough for him who consumed a lot last night. "Father, my son was originally counting on his father-in-law to be the leader after Xiumu, but now it looks like he won't be able to."

As soon as Zhu Jin heard it, he understood that Zheng Kezang was about to make a move, so he couldn't help stopping the chopsticks in his hand: "Then what do you mean?"

"My son is thinking that Chengtian Mansion has been vacant for many days, and there are many civil and military officials in this feudal clan who are actually out of work. My son wants to restore Chengtian Mansion so that some people can be resettled." Zheng Kezang didn't seem to see Zhu Jin's importance , just talking plainly. "Fu Yin wants the Fifth Uncle (Zheng Shengying) to be reinstated. As for Fu Cheng, Zhizhong, Tongju, and Pushing Officials, compared with Shuntian Fu's system, there are still six members. My son, General Zhang, has not been in government affairs for a long time, and I really can't remember which people are available. of."

"Chengtian Mansion." Zhu Jin pondered for a while, and soon a smile appeared on his face. "My son's idea is very good. As for who can fill the gaps, you can ask your father-in-law for advice."

"Yes, my son will also ask Yue Zhang for advice in the afternoon." Zheng Kezang actually didn't need Chen Yonghua's recommendation, and his purpose of saying this was more like throwing stones to ask for directions. "In addition, father, my son has not long been familiar with government affairs, and he used to do some things in the Ministry of Industry, but his father-in-law was not there for a while, but he was a little confused, and the son wanted to borrow someone from the father to help."

"Borrower?" Zhu Jin looked at Zheng Kezang with some doubts. "Borrow someone from Gu, and you can say this. Okay, let's talk about who you are going to borrow."

"I'm afraid my father won't give up." Zheng Kezang wanted to catch him, but Zhu Jin gave him a stare when he saw it. Zheng Kezang said honestly. "My son wants to invite Feng Shiwei to go over to assist in government affairs. If the father allows it, the son can give him the name of Tongzhi Dongning Chief Envoy, so as to calm down those old officials."

"Tongzhi Chief Envoy of Dongning?" Zhu Jin frowned, not because he disliked the official, but because he thought there was something wrong with Zheng Kezang's request. "My son, Feng Qing is a bit dirty with your father-in-law. In case your father-in-law comes back to watch things after he recovers, what should we do if there is a conflict between the two of you?"

"Father is in the prime of his life, and although the son is not worried about Yihuo's story repeating itself, he also does not want to see the family dominate." Zheng Kezang's words seemed frank, but in fact they were just to dispel Zhu Jin's doubts. "Even though Mr. Chen is his son's father-in-law, but Dongning's surname is Zheng and not Chen, there must be someone to restrain him." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang picked up a piece of mussels for Zhu Jin, and after putting down his chopsticks, he continued road. "Yue Zhang is a gentleman, even if he knows about his son's plan, he won't say much. Feng Shiwei is also a trustworthy minister of his father. He usually knows the general situation, and I believe he can help Yue Zhang together. My son is just planning ahead. If there is any fallacy, what is wrong? Ask the father to advise, the son is afraid that the father is used to Feng Shiwei, and he will not bear it."

"My son's words seem to make me unable to live alone without Feng Xifan." Zhu Jin interrupted Zheng Kezang's words with a wave of his hand. "Forget it, usually Xifan has done a lot of planning for the solitary, and he has made a lot of achievements. This time, it is really time for a promotion. According to my son, let him be the leader of the Tongzhi Dongning."

"Thank you, father." Zheng Kezang thanked, and Zhu Jin ordered the cold white porridge in front of him. Zheng Kezang smiled, gobbled it up, and poured it into his stomach in just a few breaths. Just as Zhu Jin was lamenting that being young is good Zheng Kezang wiped his mouth with a towel. "Father, the position of military officer has been vacant for many days now, and it is necessary to find someone to fill it. My son thinks that the admiral Wu Shu is the second person in the army after Ding Xibo, and that he has fought for the domain for many years is enough to prove his loyalty. Why don't he be transferred to the Ministry of War?" , so as to assist Wu Pingbo in his military training."

"This won't work." Zhu Jin finally discovered his son's omissions, just like the leaders of later generations who often find fault with their subordinates, which made him feel very present, but he didn't know that this was a flaw that Zheng Kezang deliberately sold to him. "Civil and military are well-rounded, the ancestors have the ancestral system." These words are high-sounding, but in fact they are just to restrain Liu Guoxuan from letting him take sole control of the military. "The same is true for assisting Wu Pingbo in military training with the position of admiral after Xibo is established. As for the position of military officer, where is Chen Shengwu?"

Zheng Kezang was stunned for a moment and didn't think that Zhu Jin would think of Chen Shengwu again at this moment, but he didn't regret it, because even if Chen Shengwu remained in Taiwan, he would mess up the matter. In fact, it can only be discussed on paper, and if you have to experience it in underground work, you may be able to make some progress.

"Father, Mr. Chen suddenly went out to sea on a boat." Zheng Kezang pretended to be thinking, and only after a long time did he speak perfunctorily. "The first time I said that I went to the countries in the South China Sea. Not long after I came back, I went abroad again after the New Year. I don't know the specific destination this time. It seems to be Japan and North Korea. Why don't I ask Yue Zhang together in the afternoon."

"Going abroad again? This Chen Shengwu, I'm afraid he hasn't figured it out yet." Zhu Jin shook his head. Since the other party couldn't let go of this grudge, it was naturally inconvenient for him to use it anymore, so Zhu Jin made a decision. "The selection of military officers should be put aside for the time being, and we can choose one when Gu is free." Zheng Kezang naturally had nothing to do. At this time, Feng Xifan appeared outside with sly eyebrows. Zhu Jin saw him and greeted him. "Feng Qing, come in and talk." Feng Xifan walked in, saluted Zhu Jin first and then Zheng Kezang, at this moment Zhu Jin said. "Feng Qing, just now Qinshe asked Gu for personal favors, and asked Qing to go over to assist in government affairs. Gu has already agreed, and I will make some preparations and take office tomorrow."

Feng Xifan turned pale with shock, and quickly knelt down to Zhu Jin: "My lord, but I did something wrong, my lord wants to drive me away."

"Where did Master Feng say that?" Zheng Kezang was afraid that Zhu Jin would be moved by Feng Xifan, so he hurriedly responded with an excuse. "It's Yu who wants Master Feng to come and pay his respects. Yu has already made an agreement with his father to appoint him as the general envoy of Dongning. Over the years, Master Feng has devoted himself to his father. In the future, he must help Yu as well." .”

Zheng Kezang didn't say it was fine, but Feng Xifan was terrified when he said that his power was derived from Zhu Jin's power. Once he left Zhu Jin, he was like a fish out of water and at the mercy of Zheng Kezang. It was precisely because of such enlightenment that Feng Xifan nodded at Zhu Jin repeatedly: "Your Majesty, my minister, I am reluctant to leave your majesty."

Feng Xifan said it emotionally and knocked hard, so Zhu Jin was embarrassed, but how could Zheng Kezang fall short: "Master Feng said that the father is safe and healthy, so why not give up?" ,unlucky."

Feng Xifan froze, and then looked up, Zhu Jin's face was clearly displeased, and he became more panicked. At this moment, he heard Zheng Kezang say: "In fact, they are all in Anping, and there is nothing wrong with Mr. Feng on weekdays. You can also come to pay homage to the father, is it considered respectful to always serve by the father's side?"

"Qinshe's words are not bad, and I won't let you see Gu again." Zhu Jin made his attitude clear again. "Tongzhi Dongning Chief Envoy, in this way, if you show that you are the third-rank Taichang Temple Minister, you have not let down your hard work in the past few years." After that, Zhu Jin would no longer look like a puppy looking at him and abandoning himself Feng Xifan, who is generally a cruel master, acts like a pie. "Let's go down."

Although it seems that the matter is irreversible, Feng Xifan still wants to fight again: "I understand, I will take care of the matter tomorrow, but I only have the role of bodyguard on my shoulders, Your Majesty, I dare you to continue to take care of it."

"Master Feng, you are busy with political affairs, so you don't necessarily have to run at both ends." What Zheng Kezang wants is to seize Feng Xifan's control over the Luanyi Guard, so of course he can't just watch Feng Xifan continue to retain his position as a guard. "Furthermore, my father still insists that my lord is the third grade, and my lord may not always block others' progress."

Feng Xifan cursed secretly in his heart, if Zheng Kezang's words got out, even if he could retain the title of bodyguard, he might not be able to grasp the morale of Luan Yiwei. In this case, he had no choice but to ask desperately: " What Jian Guo said makes sense, but the minister is confused, so, the minister recommends"

"Sigh! Master Feng, the successor to the position of bodyguard, the king must have his own arrangements, so don't bother Master Feng to worry about it." Zheng Kezang looked at the other party with a half-smile, determined not to let Feng Xifan return Have the opportunity to get involved in Luang Yiwei. "Or maybe Master Feng thinks he can take the place of his father?"

"Enough, Qinshe!" Zhu Jin has already seen that Zheng Kezang and Feng Xifan are not at loggerheads anymore, but Zheng Kezang is his blood after all, and Zhu Jin thought that Zheng Kezang was just venting the rumors in the incident The dissatisfaction with Feng Xifan's intentional blocking of the road was not really to embarrass Feng Xifan—at least judging from what Zheng Kezang said before, it would not be too embarrassing to Feng Xifan—so his psychology was biased towards Zheng Kezang. "Fan Qing has also made contributions, why is she so aggressive, this is not what the Lord did." After training his son, Zhu Jin waved at Feng Xifan. "Feng Qing, let's go, the position of bodyguard has his own idea."

Watching Feng Xifan hunched over and left Zhu Jin's palace coldly, Zheng Kezang immediately recruited several deputy guards of Luan Yiwei: "Master Feng has been transferred to be the general envoy of Tongzhi Dongning. He proposed to be the successor of the post of bodyguard, but was interrupted by Yu, so Yu didn't know who he was recommending."

Several deputy guards looked at each other, not knowing what Zheng Kezang was going to say, so they heard Zheng Kezang continue: "You and others were all handpicked by Mr. Feng. Anyone may have the opportunity to take over, but there is only one guard. If you do it, others will naturally have no hope."

Several deputy guards suddenly became alert, and looked at the people around them differently. Zheng Kezang noticed this scene, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's good to understand, so don't let Mr. Feng see the king again in the future." .”

"This?" Several deputy guards looked at each other, but Zheng Kezang's gaze seemed to be holding a knife, so they couldn't help but bow their heads. "Please don't worry, grandchildren, I will save it later."

"That's good"
