The best little eunuch

Chapter 79 Goodbye Li Wenyuan

Chapter 79 Goodbye Li Wenyuan

The servant knocked on the door of Liu Rufeng's study and said, "Master, Mr. Lin is here."

"Master Lin, please come in." Liu Rufeng's voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door, Lin Feng walked in.The current Liu Rufeng is no longer the Liu Rufeng who was depressed all day long.The current him, regardless of prestige or fame, is almost surpassing Li Henian.

Especially the victory in the suppression of King Wu's rebellion this time, although this has little to do with him, the benefits it indirectly brought to him are immeasurable.At least, now many vacillating ministers are beginning to lean on his side.Moreover, many ministers who were originally on Li Henian's side also showed their favor to him frequently, and the intention was obvious that they wanted to join his camp.

On the other hand, on Li Henian's side, Li Henian seemed to have completely given up on one thing. Except for going to court every day, he rarely met with those ministers.Even if someone asked to see him, he would not be able to see Li Henian unless he was a core member of his camp.

"Liu Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time." After Lin Feng entered, he greeted Liu Rufeng.

Quickly got up from the seat, Liu Rufeng also said: "Master Lin can come to the old man's mansion, it really makes the old man's mansion flourish. Please sit down, Master Lin, come and serve tea." Liu Rufeng said, and immediately let someone Serve tea.

Soon, the servant brought two cups of tea, Liu Rufeng said: "Master Lin, try it, this is the famous Dahongpao in the south of the Yangtze River, it is hard to find. It was brought to me by one of my disciples."

Hearing that it was Dahongpao, Lin Feng had heard from Shen Lingfeng, so he picked it up and took a sip.Undoubtedly, Liu Rufeng was deceived, even a layman like Lin Feng could taste it, Liu Rufeng's so-called Dahongpao was far worse than the Dahongpao Lin Feng drank at Shen Lingfeng's place.

"Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu Xiang still has such precious tea leaves. I have heard in the south of the Yangtze River that the annual output of this Dahongpao is very small. Even the local rich and powerful people may not be able to buy it." Lin Feng put down the teacup , said.Although the tea leaves are fake, you can't tell them in public, isn't it a slap in the face?
Liu Rufeng also smiled, and said: "Where, where. This is the old man's disciple who is considerate of the old man, and specially brought it to the old man. The old man has been reluctant to drink it. It just so happens that Master Lin is here today, so the old man will not enjoy it alone. Take it out and share it with Master Lin." Although Liu Rufeng spoke lightly, the proud tone in his words was clearly revealed.

"A little fake is worth showing off? I'll get you something real some other day, and see where you put your face?" Lin Feng thought in his heart, but there was another set of words on his mouth: "Liu Xiangyou is such a disciple, when It's really Liu Xiang's blessing."

"Where, where. If Mr. Lin doesn't dislike it, the old man will give you half, how about it?" Liu Rufeng continued.Although his disciples didn't give him much, it was almost a catty, and Liu Rufeng could still accept half of it.

"Thank you Liu Xiang for your kindness. The next rude person will not share Liu Xiang's good tea." Lin Feng politely declined, you fake thing, you should keep it for yourself.When I have time, go to Jiangnan to get something real, and then invite you to drink tea, and see how your face will look then?Lin Feng thought proudly.It seems that he has already seen the black lines on Liu Rufeng's face.

The two also exchanged a few words, so Liu Rufeng asked, "I don't know what business Mr. Lin came to see the old man?"

"Old fox, don't you know what I'm looking for you? If you don't know, can you predict that I will come to you?" Lin Feng said in his heart, but even so, Lin Feng had no choice but to say: "Come to see Liu Xiang today, First, I came back yesterday, so I should visit Liu Xiang today. Second, I’m here to discuss with Liu Xiang about the handling of the King Wu incident.”

"Lord Lin has a heart. As for the king of Wu, the state has state laws, and the family has family rules. What King Wu committed is a serious crime of treason. No matter whether it is state laws or family rules, there is absolutely no possibility for King Wu to survive? What is there to discuss? What?" Liu Rufeng had a look of death on King Wu's face.Because, only by killing the king of Wu, could the court attack Li Henian. Otherwise, the king of Wu, the leader of the thief, would never die, and the others would never die.

"Could it be that Liu Xiang didn't see the serious relationship between them?" Lin Feng pretended to be surprised and asked.

Glancing at Lin Feng, Liu Rufeng asked: "I don't know what else is hidden in it?" Liu Rufeng is an old fox, and he can't think of anything, but sometimes, for his own benefit, he is willing to take this risk.

"Does Liu Xiang know how many ministers are involved with King Wu this time?" Lin Feng asked.The number of ministers participating this time far exceeded Lin Feng's expectation, so even Lin Feng did not dare to persuade the emperor and queen mother to deal with King Wu.The best way is to pardon King Wu.As for the crimes, let them all be blamed on the dead Zuo Chenqing and Wu Qingfeng.They are dead anyway, so let them bear the blame.

Stroking the beard under his chin, Liu Rufeng said: "This old man doesn't know, but it's only three or five."

"Liu Xiang was wrong, not three or five, but three or five times this number." Lin Feng stretched out five fingers and said.

Liu Rufeng was also taken aback when he heard what Lin Feng said, and asked, "So many?" Originally, he felt that there were only five or six ministers involved with King Wu.However, even if there were only five or six governors, the pressure on the court was not small. Now that Lin Feng said that there might be more than a dozen, this time, even Liu Rufeng dared not take any risks.If these governors were determined and united, the imperial court would really have nothing to do with them.At that time, I am afraid that you will become a situation where the princes are fighting.

Nodding seriously, Lin Feng said, "That's right. Most of them are governors from various places."

"These rebellious ministers. The court gave them power, and they didn't want to be loyal to the monarchy and the country, and they actually tried to do such a rebellious thing." Liu Rufeng said angrily: "If Master Lin hadn't calmed down King Wu in Nanjiang in time, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous. .”

"Liu Xiang, now is not the time to think about this. The most important thing for us now is to think about how to stabilize those governors. You know, they each hold a heavy army." Lin Feng reminded.If Liu Rufeng really got angry about being a scholar, the consequences would be troublesome.

"Hey..." Sighing, Liu Rufeng said: "It's all to blame at the beginning. If the governors of various places hadn't been given such great authority, the current situation would not have happened. Now, they are full-fledged, and even the orders of the court Don’t dare to listen. If a few years pass, won’t they dare to rebel openly?”

"They don't dare to rebel against them. At most, they want to make the position of governor hereditary." Lin Feng said.Now the governors in various places basically have no intention of rebelling. All they want is to pass on the glory and wealth from generation to generation.

"This imperial court absolutely cannot agree." Liu Rufeng pushed the table vigorously and said.As a loyal courtier in the imperial court, Liu Rufeng was quite angry when he heard this.

"At this stage, they dare not bring it up, nor do they dare to do so." Lin Feng said.The wings of these governors are not yet fully developed, and their ambitions have not been fully revealed.After all, no matter what, the imperial court still has a powerful frontier army vacant. If the imperial court fights to the death and brings back the frontier army, they can kill none of them.However, this also means that the Great Yan Dynasty has come to an end.Therefore, unless the court is forced into a hurry, otherwise, this situation will not happen.

"Clean them up one by one sooner or later." Liu Rufeng said almost gritting his teeth.

"Liu Xiang, what we need to discuss now is not this issue, but how to deal with the issue of King Wu. Only after this matter is settled, can the imperial court slowly deal with the issue of the governors of various places." Lin Feng said to Liu Rufeng.I didn't expect the old man to get angry, and it was terrible.

After calming down for a while, Liu Rufeng said: "What Lord Lin said is true. Now we really have to handle the matter of King Wu carefully. Now King Wu is a signal, a signal from the imperial court to the governors of various places. The governor will not act too aggressively. As long as they are stabilized, the court will have a chance to deal with them one by one."

"What Liu Xiang said is very true. What I mean is that Liu Xiang's people will submit a memorial to the emperor, hoping that the emperor will pardon the king of Wu, and then push all the rebellion on the dead Zuo Chenqing and Wu Qingfeng. Anyway, they They are dead too, let them take the blame." Lin Feng said to Liu Rufeng.

He can't help it, the people in his hands are all military generals, and it is obviously inappropriate for military generals to give a memorial to this matter.The civil servants had to come, and on the civil servants side, apart from Liu Rufeng, it was Li Henian.Li Henian's side was out of the question, so Liu Rufeng could only come.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Rufeng said: "This matter is not easy to handle. After all, the King of Wu issued an appeal at the beginning. Who in the world does not know that he rebelled? It would be very difficult for the Emperor to pardon the King of Wu through a memorial!"

"It is precisely because this matter is difficult that you are required to come forward, Xiang Liu. With your reputation, Xiang Liu, I think there is no big problem." Lin Feng patted Liu Rufeng's flattery in a timely manner.

Obviously, Liu Rufeng was very comfortable with Lin Feng's flattery. Liu Rufeng said: "Since Mr. Lin thinks so much about this old man, let this old man send someone to draft a memorial to the emperor. I just don't know, the emperor and the queen mother are What's the meaning?"

"Don't worry Liu Xiang, the emperor and queen mother will definitely support Liu Xiang's proposal." Lin Feng immediately assured Liu Rufeng.

Nodding his head, Liu Rufeng said: "That's it, I will ask someone to hand over the memorial tomorrow."

"Thank you Liu Xiang." Lin Feng said with a smile on his face.This matter has already reached nine points, and there is only a formal court meeting tomorrow. As long as Li Henian doesn't mess around, this matter will be considered a success.

After bidding farewell to Liu Rufeng, Lin Feng walked towards his mansion. He was really busy today.Originally, he wanted to go to the Hall of Kindness, and mess around with Qiuxiang and the Queen Mother, but after thinking about it, Lin Feng gave up. He had to go to court tomorrow, so he had to work hard enough.

Just as Lin Feng entered the mansion, Xiao Duozi greeted him and said to Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, Shen Xu, Minister of Rites, has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Shen Xu, what is he doing here?" Lin Feng was a little puzzled, isn't this person from Li Henian?Moreover, he is a middle-level official of the imperial court from the official to the Minister of Rites, and his power and position are not insignificant. What's the matter with him coming to find him?

"Master Shen didn't say anything. Master Shen came at noon. I said you were not here and asked him to come back another day, but he said that he would wait for you to come back, no matter what I persuaded him, he would not leave." Xiao Duozi was also a little helpless , he has repeatedly told Shen Xu, but Shen Xu has been refusing to leave, he must wait for Lin Feng to come back.

"Take him to my study." Lin Feng said to Xiao Duozi, and walked straight to the study.He guessed that in all likelihood, Shen Xu had something important to tell him, otherwise he wouldn't be so stubborn and had to wait for him to come back.

Lin Feng had just arrived at the study, and just as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door: "My lord, Mr. Shen is here."

"Master Shen, please come in." Lin Feng said.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and Shen Xu walked in. "I'm going to see Mr. Lin." After Shen Xu came in, he gave a big gift to Lin Feng.This is unimaginable in the past. Although Lin Feng's rank is higher than that of Shen Xu, he is just an idle general after all. Without the war, his counter-insurgency general will naturally disappear. From the day he returned to the court, Lin Feng would not It is the anti-insurgency general again, but the grade of the anti-insurgency general is retained.

Standing up quickly, Lin Feng came out, helped Shen Xu up, and said: "How can Mr. Shen show such a big gift, it really breaks my heart."

"Master Lin is the pillar of the imperial court. This time to put down King Wu's rebellion, we will definitely go one step further. It is normal for a petty official to visit Lord Lin like this." Shen Xu stood up with Lin Feng's support and said.

After the two sat down, Lin Feng asked: "I heard from my servant that Mr. Shen has been waiting for me for a long time. I happened to have something to do today and I was delayed. I hope Mr. Shen will forgive me."
