"This, that's it, thank you General for the promotion."

Although he was dissatisfied with Chen Feng's way of usurping his authority and casually promising an official position, Chen Qun's heart was still hot. After all, Chen Feng could be regarded as a confidant if he could agree with his system.

Since he wanted to support the new emperor, Chen Feng did not intend to hide it. Even if the world knew that the court was controlled by him, Chen Feng would not take it to heart. Anyway, he just needed a righteous cause.

All parts of the north are preparing for the enthronement ceremony. As for the emperor who has not yet enthroned, he is still playing in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, completely unaware that he is about to suffer a disaster that will never be left behind.

"Could it be that General Hussars can't let my mother and son live?"

In the courtyard, Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai who later became Liu Bei's wife, was worrying about Liu Cong who was playing in the courtyard.Everyone else was rejoicing that Liu Cong was going to ascend the throne, but she was full of sadness that couldn't go away.

"Madam Qi, General Cai and General Zhang are here to visit."

"What are they doing here at this time? Oh, these people, have they all fallen into the vortex of power?"

As Cai Mao's sister, Mrs. Cai naturally has the qualifications to complain. Perhaps she is the only one who sees the danger clearly in the entire Jingzhou.

"Elder Sister, Eldest Sister, happy event, great happy event, General Hussars sent an order to pick up Cong'er and go to Chang'an to ascend the throne soon, haha, my Cai family is about to become a relative of the emperor,,,,,, "

Before the person arrived, the voice came from far away, and he shouted so loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.But, to Mrs. Cai, how could this voice be so irritating.

"Sister, can you hear what I'm saying?"

Walking up to Mrs. Cai, looking at her cold face, Cai Mao felt a little thumping in his heart, his elder sister was different since she was a child, how could she still be so different in front of such a big event.

"I heard, what are you doing here?"

"Uh, no, Eldest Sister and Cong'er are about to go to Chang'an. I'm afraid I won't see you for a while, so I came to have a look. In addition, the aristocratic families in Xiangyang have entrusted me to ask. Eldest Sister is in short supply right now." What, I'll have someone make it up for you."

"Hmph, when my mother and son were in trouble, I didn't see anyone lending a helping hand, but now, one by one, they are very well-informed. Let me ask you, you two are in important positions. When you return to Xiangyang this time, can you help me?" Have you ever gotten permission from the frontline commander, but have you ever gotten permission from the Xiangyang defender?"

"Well, we asked General Gao for leave. As for General Gongsun, we haven't had time to report."

"Confused, stupid, idiots, you two, if you still want my mother and son to live a few more years, get out now and stick to your post, and reflect on what you did wrong.

You know better than me the pain of family ruin and death. Do you still want to drag the Cai family and the Zhang family together to exterminate the family?roll,,,,,,"

Chapter 790 Controlling the court 1

The news that the new emperor is about to enthroned quickly spread throughout the world. Because the late emperor died unexpectedly, and the villain Liu Bei hijacked the court officials, so this time the crown prince can only choose Liu Cong, the son of the former Jingzhou shepherd Liu Biao, who is both benevolent and virtuous.

Naturally, some people objected to this news while others agreed with it.Those who reacted most strongly were the Jiangdong gentry. After all, once the emperor supported by Chen Feng came to power, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to Jiangdong.

In addition, in recent years, there have been many conflicts between the Sun family in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and there have been constant wars.The newly enthroned emperor is both public and private, and I am afraid that he will not have a good face towards Jiangdong.

But this news is simply great news for the Jingzhou aristocratic family.Once upon a time, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou were just bystanders in this troubled world.

During the years of being suppressed by the northern gentry, their interests in the north were swallowed up step by step, and they could only shrink in Jingzhou in the end, while losses in the south continued to suppress them.

Although Liu Biao led them to fight back continuously, Liu Biao's ability and ambition were not enough to bring more benefits to the Jingzhou aristocratic family. Who would have thought that the next emperor would be Liu Biao's son.

No matter how capable the new emperor is, no matter whether the court is controlled by Chen Feng or not.As long as the new emperor is the son of Liu Biao, there will be traces of the Jingzhou aristocratic family on him, which will never be erased in his life.

Under Chen Feng's order, the Jingzhou aristocratic family contributed their efforts, especially when Chen Feng mentioned in his heart that in the imperial court that was about to be formed, there was a shortage of officials in various ministries, and even fewer capable people, the Jingzhou aristocratic family The patriarchs of the big clan danced happily.

You must know that there is no shortage of scholars in Jingzhou, no shortage of children from aristocratic families who can serve as Jiuqing in the imperial court, and prefects in the ruling and opposition parties, and there is no shortage of capable talents who can bring hope to the local people.

If Chen Feng is willing, these aristocratic families in Jingzhou can even fill up all the vacancies in the court in the shortest time, and immediately make the entire court run smoothly, without asking Chen Feng to worry about it.

This is the confidence of the Jingzhou family, and it is also an important reason why Jia Xu strongly recommended Liu Cong to win over the Jingzhou family. All along, the world has underestimated the background and strength of the local Jingzhou family.

"For the talents recommended by the Jingzhou family, they must be carefully inspected, and some wine bags and rice bags should not be allowed to mix in, otherwise, I will lose face."

Looking at the letter on the table, looking at a personal name and related description recorded on the letter paper, although Chen Feng was happy in his heart, his face was serious.

Jia Xu next to him also shook his head helplessly. Although he knew the background of the Jingzhou family, he still underestimated the intention of the children of the Jingzhou family to become officials.

Just the three great families of the Cai family, the Zhang family, and the Huang family have recommended more than a dozen family members. The key point is that the resumes and abilities of these family members are not bad.

Not to mention the Sima family, Pang family, Ji family and other aristocratic families that have been low-key before, as well as other relatively weak families. It can be said that Chen Feng no longer has to worry about talents.

"My lord's words are true. Judging from the talents recommended at various times, they are indeed good, but ability is only a part of the assessment. Others such as loyalty, bad habits, etc., should also be investigated.

However, the Cai family, Zhang family, and Huang family strongly supported our army. They also made great efforts when our army moved into Jingzhou before. Now, the three family heads are still serving in the army. "

"Hehe, I understand what you mean, Wenhe, even if you don't mention it, I won't let them down. Let them pick one for the governor of Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou.

Huang Zu's eldest son, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's younger brothers can take office, but let me remind them that the butcher's knife in my hand will never rust. What I want is a good official who can rule the country and benefit the people. If they recommend someone If you can't, don't blame me for being polite. "

Chen Feng naturally knew that some aristocratic families in Jingzhou needed to be appeased. At least, he made enough gestures to let other aristocratic families see his sincerity and how he treated his subordinates kindly.

"At that time, you can also talk to them about important positions in the imperial court, as well as the positions of local sheriffs and county magistrates, and I can let go.

But I have one requirement, that is ability. I will conduct assessments on officials from various places from time to time, ranging from a few months to three years. Those who pass the ability will be rewarded and promoted; I'm not kidding. "

"This subordinate understands that the three patriarchs sent a joint letter before. They wanted the family children and the caravan to go to Xiliang. Hehe, they probably wanted to participate in the Silk Road."

"Let me just say, how could they hold back, sure enough, everyone wants to take a bite of such a big piece of fat, but they are too impatient, so they come to negotiate terms with me now.

How about this, Silk Road, I can let it go, I can even let them become commercial agents in Jingzhou, but they have to bring me more benefits, I like capable talents the most. "

"That should be the case. If not, why would they think they have caught the lord? Heh heh, don't worry, lord, some of the food reserves of the major families in Jingzhou will be handed over soon."

Just when the aristocratic families in Jingzhou wanted to get promoted and make a fortune, Chen Feng and Jia Xu were also planning for the future. Whether it was officialdom or shopping malls, Chen Feng had the absolute right to speak. out enough benefits.

Liu Cong had already arrived in Chang'an with Mrs. Cai, and Chen Feng went out of the city to greet him in person. This was enough face for Liu Cong, and at the same time, it also let the world see Chen Feng's attitude.

In the middle of the night, Chen Feng, who was supposed to go to bed, met Mrs. Cai in the secret room.There was no way, Mrs. Cai repeatedly sent letters to Chen Feng, begging for a meeting.

Given that Mrs. Cai will be the next queen mother, Chen Feng couldn't refuse. He could guess what Mrs. Cai was worried about. In order to better control the court, he had to have a good chat with Mrs. Cai.

No one can know what they talked about in the secret room, and no one knows how the two of them spent the night in the secret room.In short, at dawn the next day, Mrs. Cai left with a rosy face and a smile.

As for Chen Feng, after appeasing the queen mother, he became more confident in controlling the new court.No one will know about the transaction between him and Mrs. Cai, and no one will know that Mrs. Cai once spent a night in his secret room. As for the satisfaction he found in Mrs. Cai's body, it is naturally not for outsiders.

Chapter 791 Controlling the court 2

The process of the emperor's ascension to the throne went very smoothly. After all, Chen Feng had controlled Chang'an for so long, and he had dispatched [-] troops from the Yongliang Camp to station there. Any young people who wanted to make trouble had to ask the local garrison Weapons in hand.

When the news reached Liu Bei, this unparalleled Uncle Liu Huang could no longer laugh.He had presided over such an enthronement ceremony before, but it was destroyed by someone sent by Chen Feng.

Even he himself escaped from Changsha city in a hurry, and the family fortune he had accumulated through years of hard work was wiped out all at once.If it weren't for the desperate blocking of his old subordinate Chen Dao, and if it wasn't for the white-eared elite soldiers who paid [-]% of the casualties, he, Liu Bei, would have been captured long ago.

"Damn, hate, Chen Feng, you ruined my good deeds, and now you put on such a face, one day, I will make you shred into pieces, shred into pieces..."

The evil spirit in Liu Bei's chest is incomprehensible to others. It is obvious that he is about to reach the peak of power, and he is about to threaten the emperor to make the princes, but when he is about to climax, he is cut off by Chen Feng. I feel that Liu Bei will never forget it in his life.

"Wait, what are you doing, who is this woman?"
