Chapter 26 Phoenix Pavilion
"It's also a problem to keep this mask," Ji Ran said softly, "I'll deal with it for the young master."
Feng Yan nodded, "I'm working on my job."
"Where is the pleasure," Ji Ran replied, "Please come back, I'll bother you today."
"Sir Ji wait..." Feng Yan raised her sleeves, "Is it enough to ask me alone?"
"If the young master wants to ask about the situation on Lord Wei, then you don't need it," Ji Ran replied fluently. "At the morning of the morning, our colleagues directly attacked the official office for a question. Lord Wei's testimony should have been collected earlier than the young master."
"So that's it..." Feng Yan nodded, "Then Lord Ji walked slowly."
Ji Ran saluted Feng Yan again, like a junior saying goodbye to a respected senior.
Feng Yan stood at the door and watched everyone leave, and then ordered people to close the west gate of the Wei Mansion.
"Are you servants from the Wei Mansion?" She looked at the six young people in front of her, one of whom was the Shin. The remaining five were about his age, about their early twenties.
"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.
Feng Yan whispered, "What are your names?"
"Go to She." "Go to Tai."
"No." "No dependence." "No." "No."
"It's all the names given to you by Wei Xingzhen?"
"yes!"
Feng Yan smiled.
Wei Xingzhen learned the Tao Te Ching very well.
The strong man didn't rely on his words to ask, but at this moment he finally couldn't help it. He said depressedly, "Madam, why were you so polite to those soldiers just now? That mask... was given to them like this?"
"It wasn't an important thing at first," Feng Yan whispered, "Besides, it's really troublesome to keep."
Without relying on the deep voice, "...it's not their turn to snatch it."
"Don't worry," Jushi whispered from the side, "Madam doesn't care, what are you dancing here,"
Feng Yan looked at Busheng, "Why didn't you let them search for their luggage just now?"
"Because, these luggage wives have not been sorted out yet," replied Bushi, "I'm afraid there is something that is inconvenient for outsiders to read, so I've been waiting for you here."
Feng Yan looked at the silly man in front of her, "I am loyal... but don't be so reckless in the future."
"But--"
"Don't be it, the wife is very skilled," said Going to the side, he couldn't help but interrupt, "This Ji Ran, who is known as Ji Yan outside, has no one who dares to come forward to challenge him from royal family and gentry to gangsters... You see how polite he is in front of his wife, and he can still use you to be troublesome here."
Buren frowned and thought for a while, and after a while, he understood, "Oh."
"This is all about this today." Feng Yan said softly, "Mr. Wei's mansion can be tested openly, so of course my small luggage should be like this... It just so happens that everyone is here, so you can help me move all these things to the main house."
"Okay!" several people answered at the same time.
Feng Yan followed everyone and walked slowly towards the main house. When she climbed the high stairs, she couldn't help looking west.
As the sun sets, the entire Luoyang City is immersed in the kumquat sunset.
Feng Yan narrowed her eyes slightly,
Wei Xingzhen... should be back soon.
...
On a roof of the Feng family, Feng Yishu and Feng Xiaoqi sat slanted.
"How could this happen... I feel like Lord Yin and Sister are not even friends now." Feng Yishu sat down and sighed, "What bad idea did you come up with?"
Feng Xiaoqi held the grass in his arms and looked out from a distance at the top of a small rockery in the southwest direction - it was the highest mountain corner of Wei Xingzhen's mansion. Thinking that Feng Yan should be nearby at this moment, Feng Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing.
"You're still laughing!"
"A sister handled it so simply today, without any delay. Isn't that good?" Feng Xiaoqi gave a thumbs up, "If everything can be like this in the future, who can bully her?"
"Okay?" Feng Yishu could only worry alone, "She really fell in love with Wei Xingzhen, right?"
Feng Xiaoqi thought for a while, "Before my sister got married, she did say similar things... She should have a good impression of Wei Xingzhen."
"…What's good about Wei Xingzhen?"
Feng Xiaoqi glanced at Brother Wu, "I've wanted to ask a long time ago. I feel that the 'Chief Minister' sounds quite a senior official. Why don't you think you are very fond of it?"
“That’s a long story…”
"You're telling a long story."
Feng Yishu stretched out his legs.
"...In the past, on the first day of the month, some of the Grand Secretary would go to Zichen Hall to meet the emperor and discuss government affairs. Because Zichen Hall is behind Xuanzheng Hall, it is called Entrance. These Grand Secretary were the early cabinet ministers, and the Grand Secretary who ranked first, that is, the Chief Minister, and the Prime Minister, was indeed very respected."
"Yes." Feng Xiaoqi nodded, "I know this."
"However, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, the opinions of the cabinet ministers were contrary to her several times. In the autumn of the 14th year of Chengping, there was a major conflict between the ministers on a hunger strike outside the Zichen Hall. The following year, Your Majesty reorganized the cabinet and changed the cabinet to "Feng Pavilion", and the year name was also changed from "Chengping" to "Tianfu".
"In the first year of Tianfu, in order to reduce the power of the chief minister, Your Majesty also demoted the Secretary of the Secretariat to the Left and Left Pushe - in fact, it is equivalent to adding the Left and Right Prime Ministers. To this day, although the Chief Minister is still an important position, it is no longer as glorious as before."
"So a Fengge chief minister is equal to 1/3 of the prime minister... Can I understand this way?"
"...What's the conversion?" Feng Yishu twisted his neck and thought, "Forget it, you just understand it that way, it doesn't matter anyway.
"Before Wei Xingzhen, the chief assistant of Fengge had changed two rounds. The two were respected old ministers. Whenever His Majesty had differences with the ministers, they would mediate and mediate... Until Wei Xingzhen, they were completely pretending to be powerful and beating them."
Feng Yishu was angry when he said this, "How can such a person be worthy of Sister!"
"Fifth brother or Luo Wuying?"
"Yes." Feng Yishu nodded.
——I feel that Your Majesty is becoming more and more stubborn as he grows older, and he is not able to listen to honest advice like before, so people like Wei Xingzhen are waiting for an opportunity to take over.
"Strange." Feng Xiaoqi murmured.
"What's strange?"
"If this is true, why would my aunt support my sister and Wei Xingzhen's marriage?" Feng Xiaoqi looked at Feng Yishu, "It's not that even the fifth brother, you can understand something, but my aunt can't understand it?"
Feng Yishu stumbled on this sentence for a while and realized, "...Are you hurting me again?"
Feng Xiaoqi laughed, "No matter what, this Lord Wei is already a hot figure in the court now... Since we are sure that this person is unusual, we still have to find him to talk to his sister directly-"
Before he finished speaking, Feng Yishu suddenly poked Feng Xiaoqi in the arm.
"Look there, is that... dad?"
Feng Xiaoqi looked in the direction Feng Yishu pointed, and saw Feng Yuandao wearing official uniform in the outer courtyard at sunset, slowly walking out. Outside the mansion not far away, cars and horses were waiting - he was obviously going out.
It’s now, where is my father going after changing his official uniform alone?
Feng Xiaoqi was a little strange. She narrowed her eyes and tried her best to look at the servants near the carriage not far away. There were a few people in red robes, who looked like father-in-laws in the palace.
She suddenly realized, "Dad is... going to enter the palace?"
...
At the same time, Feng Yan heard a small building in Wei Mansion and heard a soft sound coming from the windowsill.
She didn't have to look up to know who was coming - Huai Qing grabbed the window ridge and gently swung into the house.
"Sister Yan, something happened in the palace."
