When they first heard that Feng Suzhen proposed to sell an official, Zhang Shaomin and the others were horrified and thought that Brother Feng had been reading books day and night.

"I didn't come up with this, it's a princess!" Feng Suzhen, who couldn't bear it any longer, avoided the elders who surrounded her, with a look of anger on her face, if she didn't know that Tianxiang had experienced all this, she wouldn't have taken it seriously After thinking about the possibility of selling officials for a long time, I will discuss with them again.

Hearing what the princess said, Zhang Shaomin lost his mind and sat back on the stool to drink tea in a muffled voice.

Li Zhaoting was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Did the princess say this, or did the emperor say it through the princess' mouth?"

Sun Qingle, who was temporarily transferred from the Imperial Academy, still doesn't quite understand the way they get along with each other, so he asked in a daze, "Does this have something to do with the emperor?"

Feng Suzhen couldn't explain the reason clearly to them, so she squeezed her eyebrows and tried to explain her thoughts to them: "This is indeed what the princess said, the emperor will not do such foolish things. Now there are many ministers in the court You should be aware of this. If we can sell our official positions and disrupt the arrangements of the Yuxian Gang, and those who are willing to buy official positions may not necessarily be members of the Yuxian Gang, then their people will If it is effectively contained, we can also insert other people into the court."

"Having said that, but Brother Feng, which one of us didn't come up step by step with our real skills after ten years of poverty? If we sell our officials and nobles, wouldn't we be scolded by the people all over the world? How can we be worthy of the students studying hard all over the world?" Li Zhaoting said earnestly, hoping to change Feng Suzhen's unbelievable thoughts.

Feng Suzhen sighed, "Why don't I know? It's just Brother Zhao Ting, you can't come up with 10 taels of gold. Once the time limit given by the emperor expires, these burdens will be imposed on the common people. Selling officials and nobles will be infamous forever, but That's just a false name, it's not as good as the people who don't have enough to eat and leave their homes!"

"Brother Feng, Brother Li, please don't quarrel, the sale of an official is something we discuss in private behind closed doors, if the emperor does not agree to do such a thing that will be scolded by the world, it will be useless even if we argue. "Sun Qingle said calmly to the two of them.

"Brother Sun said, let's ask the emperor for instructions first." Zhang Shaomin agreed with what Sun Qingle said, and said after looking at the sky outside.

Li Zhaoting said angrily: "Then let me ask you, if the emperor agrees, how are you going to implement it? Are you going to sell any official position you want? If someone wants to buy your position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Shaomin, will you sell it? Sun Qingle 10 taels of gold, will you sell your position as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy? And you Feng Shaomin, who holds several positions, which one do you want to sell?"

"Brother Li, let's not talk about whether my position as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy is worth 10 taels of gold. The emperor must have the final say on what position to sell. As for how the emperor calculates the value of the official position, this should be Brother Feng. Let us discuss first."

Feng Suzhen looked at Sun Qingle in surprise, she didn't expect this thin and flat person to understand what she meant, and she looked at her with admiration.

"Brother Sun said, regardless of whether the emperor agrees or not, we must first complete this matter, and when we report it to the emperor, we can let the emperor make his will according to our wishes, so that there will be no uncontrollable situation."

"Okay, tell me, what do you think?" Li Zhaoting stared at Feng Suzhen and asked.

Feng Suzhen glanced at Li Zhaoting, and said to Sun Qingle and Zhang Shaomin who were behind him: "My preliminary idea is to list those who belong to the Yuxian Gang first, and make further analysis according to their power and rank. In order not to let the Yuxian Gang notice Our intention is to put some insignificant officials and corrupt officials in it and present them to the emperor, and each rank will be promoted by one rank, and the rank will be divided according to the power."

"Brother Feng's words are relatively complete, but there is still one small problem..." Sun Qingle thought about it.

Since Feng Suzhen's proposal was considered to be Li Zhaoting's heart, he also participated in the topic later.Several people were in Zhang Shaomin's study, calculating the success rate over and over again, keeping uncontrollable factors to a minimum, and they did not dare to take an inch or an inch lightly on the future road of Dacheng Kingdom.

In fact, when the emperor saw the memorial in his hand, he thought that he was too tired recently and had hallucinations. Otherwise, why would he be able to see the young people who he is most at ease, proud of, and have the most high hopes for? A memorial to let yourself bear the name of a faint king?It's just that after reading that thin memorial over and over for a whole day, he decided to announce those people into the palace, and he wanted to ask them face to face why he did this.

The few people who received the order to enter the palace changed into official uniforms, straightened their backs, and entered the palace with the heart of success or benevolence.

"Who came up with this idea?" The emperor walked up and down the Xuanzheng Hall with his hands behind his back, his tone a little irritable.

"Go back to the emperor, I'm my son." Feng Suzhen stepped out first, no matter what the emperor wanted, as the emperor's son-in-law, the emperor would not do anything to her when he was angry, so she took all responsibilities well from the beginning A plan to carry it alone.

The emperor looked at the tall and tall man in front of him in an unclear manner, and said: "Min'er, the matter of taking over the Xiantai has nothing to do with you, why are you interfering in this? Do you have a clue about what I ordered you?" Here the emperor alluded It's the authenticity of Mizhuhua. In order not to let other people know too much, the emperor can't make it too clear.

"Not yet." Feng Suzhen understood what the emperor said, and replied, "Father, receiving Xiantai is the most important thing for my father. As a minister and as a son-in-law, I should first worry about the emperor's worries. This is also the princess's education. What the son said."

This answer pleased the old and irritable emperor, he smiled with satisfaction, "Xiang'er really told you that?"

"I dare not lie to my father, my son."

"Well, just tell me, why do you want me to bear this eternal infamy?"

Being said so lightly by the emperor, Feng Suzhen knelt on the ground first, and the rest of the people quickly followed suit, saying: "Father, my son absolutely did not want my father to be infamy. We have already expected many kinds of results, The worst kind is that the father was deceived by treacherous ministers and did such absurd things in a moment of confusion."

"Traitor? Who is the traitor? You, or you?" The emperor looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt relieved.

"Going back to the emperor, if it is to preserve the reputation of the emperor, it is not a pity for us to bear the name of a treacherous minister." Li Zhaoting looked at the aloof emperor. Although he was unwilling at first, he really had no way to get the money together. If you can obey Feng Suzhen, be prepared to be a "treacherous minister".

The emperor glanced at several people again, sat back on the chair with his hands behind his back, opened the somewhat worn memorial, and looked back and forth at the clear and meaningful characters again.

The few people didn't know the emperor's intentions, so they knelt on the ground and dared not speak out.

The mid-autumn night was already chilly, and the hard bluestone slabs were icy cold, which made Li Zhaoting and Sun Qingle, who had never practiced martial arts, a little uncomfortable.A gust of wind blew in through the window, Li Zhaoting and Sun Qingle both sneezed, causing Feng Suzhen to look sideways.

"You guys get up first." The emperor heard the movement and looked at them, but when he saw Feng Suzhen looking sideways at Li Zhaoting, his pupils shrank, and his originally relaxed expression became serious again.

Unaware of the change in the emperor's expression, they got up and stood silently in the lower hall, waiting for the emperor's decree.

"This matter will be done according to your wishes, Zhang Shaomin, you will take full responsibility. Also, Feng Shaomin is not involved, so you can't intervene in this matter again in the future."

Feng Suzhen didn't express anything, but when Li Zhaoting looked at her, his eyes were a little dark.

"Also, how long do you expect to get the money together? I can't wait too long!" the emperor asked impatiently.

Zhang Shaomin, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, glanced at Feng Suzhen, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer: "The ministers still need to sort out the list and present it to the emperor for review. The situation varies from place to place, and there is no specific time yet."

"I don't care what method you use, as long as I can get to Jiexiantai within the time calculated by the national teacher."

"Yes." Zhang Shaomin paused, "The list submitted by the emperor and ministers must not be obtained by the national teacher."

The emperor looked at Zhang Shaomin when he heard the words, and nodded his head lightly, without asking why.

Feng Suzhen knew in her heart that the emperor was very clear about the ambitions of the national teacher, but he turned a blind eye to the illusory way of longevity, if the emperor knew that the way of longevity was a lie from the national teacher, even if the national teacher had great ability, The emperor will not tolerate him either. At that time, whether it is killing or cutting, the national teacher will not be able to escape.

But, how can the emperor understand that there is no immortality in this world?Emperor Qin and Han Wu were buried in the ground for a long time, and the emperor turned a blind eye to it, pursuing the impossible way with all his heart.By the time he discovers that there is really no immortality in the world, it will be too late. At that time, who else can deter the national teacher?

Feng Suzhen regretted that she had underestimated the national teacher and the Yuxian Gang before, so she let the Yuxian Gang make troubles under her nose, and she was helpless.There are only dozens of killers in total, even if they work tirelessly to destroy the base of the Yuxian Gang, they will only be injured in the slightest, and the vitality of the Yuxian Gang will not be mobilized.And the people he cultivated by himself are not yet ready to show up, so Feng Suzhen is always in an unspeakable situation.

"...you can ask Min'er if you have any difficulties, Min'er, you can give suggestions, but you are not allowed to participate in it." The last sentence of the emperor pulled Feng Suzhen back from her worries.

Feng Suzhen didn't quite understand why the emperor repeatedly reminded herself that she was not allowed to participate in receiving the Xiantai, but she hoped that she could help them, but she thought it was a trivial matter, so she accepted the order.

After leaving the palace, Li Zhaoting called Feng Suzhen to stop them before they went home.

"Brother Feng, the emperor really dotes on you." Li Zhaoting said to Feng Suzhen.

Feng Suzhen heard that Li Zhaoting's tone was not friendly, and asked him strangely: "What do you mean by brother Zhaoting's words?"

"The emperor is afraid that you will be named as a 'treacherous minister', so he won't let you participate in selling an official. Isn't that a favor?"

Feng Suzhen frowned and glanced at Li Zhaoting, a trace of disappointment flashed in her heart, she shook her head slightly, and said to him: "Brother Zhaoting, I have nothing to say if you think so. Let me go." After finishing speaking, she turned to herself sedan chair.

Li Zhaoting looked at Feng Suzhen's handsome back, and was stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether he hated himself for being a villain, or hated Feng Suzhen for being good-looking when he got cheap. Finally, he tossed his sleeves and got on the sedan chair to return home.
