Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Seven: People Are Chess

Hao Fenglou has been very busy back to Beijing these days.

Many people came to visit and knew that the upstart of the Hao family is now going to go upstairs. If you don’t work hard to deal with it, when will you wait?

Originally, Hao Fenglou was very reluctant to deal with these people. In the past, if he could hide, he would hide. In the end, these nobles were all a group of people who were tempted by the enemy. However, if they were influenced by Hao Zheng, Hao Fenglou finally took the attitude of the male protagonist of the Hao family and met with guests every day.

The Jinyiwei had to go to the Jinyiwei, and the imperial envoy's responsibilities had been delivered. Now the person who should be on duty still has to be on duty. He went to the Beizhen Prefecture Office and Beizhen Prefecture Office, and Ji Gang looked a little haggard.

Lord Ji finally hit a nail, but he couldn't provoke this nail.

No matter how powerful the Jinyiwei is, he is still a foreign minister. Even if he is the commander of Ji Gang, he is a person who is in charge and stands alone. However, he is not a eunuch after all. He cannot accompany the palace day and night, nor can he convey information at any time. This means that no matter what, he will be one step ahead of him.

This step seems nothing, but it actually matters a lot. Ji Gang feels that he is on the bench.

What was even more terrifying next was that the East Factory suddenly came to the imperial prison, and directly passed the emperor's oral order and released a few famous scholars. This was not counting. He even directly searched for a few Jinyiwei and took them away.

These Jinyiwei were no longer visible. A Tongzhi personally inquired, but the result was that this was the emperor's intention. As for whether these people were dead or alive, only God knew.

It was only when Ji Gang personally inquired about the matter that he realized the seriousness of the problem. It turned out that these people were "good at making decisions" and actually took several famous scholars in the name of Jianwen's remnants. When he heard this, Ji Gang's face changed.

Ji Gang immediately understood that he had been cheated by people. These Jinyiwei must have been bribed by Wang An. All of this was planned. Jinyiwei took people everywhere a few days ago, and the imperial prison was crowded with people. This was not wrong with Ji Gang's order. The Jinyiwei at the bottom took people and went to the imperial prison for trial. This was also true. Since there were many people, the verification of the experience department was not strict. Anyway, the superiors had an explanation and always wanted to kill the chicken and scare the monkey.

So, under the guise of Jianwen's remnant, Wang An said a few words casually in front of the emperor. The emperor naturally couldn't help but get angry.

As for whether the Jinyiwei who was "taken" by the East Factory had been destroyed or had other placements, Ji Gang didn't know. He was right now and could not argue with him, so he could only suffer the loss of this mute.

On the contrary, the Dongchang continued to grow and said that the emperor's trust was inferior to others. Now even if the manpower and power were not as good as others, the Jinyiwei was not as good as others.

At this time, Ji Gang felt like a chamber pot. The emperor had already urinated, but now he was kicked under the bed with one foot. You can imagine how frustrated he felt.

The more you are, the more you should be cautious. Ji Gang is like this, but it is really not a solution to continue like this. At this time, Hao Fenglou came to ask for a meeting, and Ji Gang naturally saw him in the public room.

"Hao Chenshi, congratulations, congratulations, really congratulations. Long Yan is very happy to make new contributions, but I am afraid that this trip will inevitably be promoted. Hey, the young hero is really enviable. Now that you have been removed from the imperial envoy, you can't ignore the responsibilities of the Beizhen Prefecture Department. Today is different from the past. Now the capital is very different from the past. You have just returned and may not understand many things, but I must rely on you."

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "You are polite, I will obey the orders of my humbleness."

In any case, Ji Gang is his own Shangxian. If this relationship remains unchanged, Hao Fenglou will never be rude to Ji Gang.

Ji Gang smiled slightly and said, "You can take a few days off first. When you have good spirits, I will arrange a good job for you. Yes, yesterday, the King of Han was a little angry."

"Oh?" Hao Fenglou frowned and said, "But I don't know what His Highness the King of Han is doing."

Ji Gang sighed and said, "It's not you. His Highness the King of Han has always been intimate with you, but he is a righteous brother after all. He feels kind in his heart. You are fine. You don't go to visit the capital when you come back. What's the reason? Forget it, this is your business, and I just mentioned it casually."

Ji Gang was not in a hurry to arrange errands for Hao Fenglou because he had a premonition that there would definitely be actions on the East Factory, so let's talk about this again and again. Let's see what actions the East Factory did, and let's deal with them again.

He deliberately mentioned the King of Han, which was the truth. Zhu Gaoxu had won over Hao Fenglou several times, saying that it was a brotherhood, but this was a bit over. If it were to be counted, the prince and the King of Han were brothers, and he never saw that the King of Han and the Prince were so intimate. He just wanted to use Hao Fenglou to compete with the prince.

Hao Fenglou's ability is actually unquestionable. Getting this person can indeed increase his chance of winning by one or two points, which is of course important to the Han King in a bad situation.

But Hao Fenglou just curled his lips, was polite, and then left.

Of course he understood the King of Han’s calculations, but because he understood, he really didn’t want to get into this muddy water.

In fact, Hao Fenglou was also happy to be idle. If Ji Gang arranged an errand and worked in Beizhenfu every day, he was also irritable. It would be better to take advantage of the "rest and rest" skills to take a break.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next morning, Hao Fenglou went out. He wanted to rest and stayed silent. He had no choice but to stay at Zijin Mountain. Hao Fenglou hadn't been there for a long time. If he didn't go at this time, he would be worried.

After leaving the city and reaching the western foot of Zijin Mountain, there have been earth-shaking changes here.

The manufacturing bureau here is mainly responsible for the manufacturing of firearms in the court. There are actually not many workshops. After all, the demand of the court is limited, but there are many chimneys and many blast furnaces are emitting thick smoke. Hao Fenglou's light cart is simple and goes straight to the peak of Shangtou.

Above the mountain is a temple, and the huge temple is even more lively. The Shenwu Guard and the center of the building bureau are all here, coming and going, with a large number of people.

Yao Guangxiao also lives here, and Hao Fenglou went to visit his mentor first. Yao Guangxiao is indeed much older than before, with his beard and hair white, and his back is a little hunched. The old monk sat on the cushion without opening his eyes, but said, "Sit."

Hao Fenglou refused and first bowed: "Disciple Hao Fenglou, I have met his mentor."

"Oh... don't have these false rituals. As a teacher... He is old and has lived for a few years. I don't know when I will go to the Western Paradise... Why do you need to spend your time on these false rituals?"

Yao Guangxiao's eyes finally opened. Although the eyes were turbid, Hao Fenglou could still feel the wisdom passing through his eyes.

It seems that these eyes have seen through the changing world, seen the various aspects of the world, and seen too many things, with a bit of indifference in the world. A hundred years of life, just passing by like clouds and smoke, can no longer cause any turmoil.

Hao Fenglou smiled awkwardly: "If the student doesn't treat him, his teacher will be afraid that he will be awkward again, and it's not the left or the right, which is really embarrassing." As he said, he sat down and saw that Yao Guangxiao had signs of anger, he quickly changed his words: "This... my junior brother asked me to send a letter. He was very worried about his master, but because he was the emperor and could not serve him nearby, he felt very uneasy, so he hoped that his teacher would take good care of his health."

Hao Fenglou said while taking out the letter and sent it respectfully under Yao Guangxiao's cushion.

Yao Guangxiao's face calmed down a little, and he said, "Zheng He has a more solemn character, not as greasy as you."

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "Even if my junior brother is good, the master cannot say that his disciple is useless."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "Of course you are better than him. You are smarter than him. You are very smart. You are sophisticated and know the importance of the world. You are not a martial artist or a literati. You are a businessman. Although you are not petty, you often put profit first. This... It's not bad, so... I won't talk about these things. I've been much worse than before in the past six months. Alas... After living for so many years, I have learned a lot of skills. I finally sold them to Your Majesty today. I finally achieved success. My teacher is different from you. What you care about is profit, but what you are a teacher cares about is use. If you can't use what you have learned in your life, wouldn't it be in vain for half a lifetime? People have mixed praises and criticisms about being a teacher.

A few days ago, when I returned home, the villagers said: The monk was wrong, the monk was wrong. Ha..." Speaking of this, Yao Guangxiao and the old god were there, but he didn't agree with it, and even showed a bit of ridiculous expression: "They are mortals after all. They only think that there are good and bad in this world, black and white, but they don't know that good and bad are nothing to be a teacher. If a teacher is good at playing chess, do you know why? Because you are the chess player. Everything under your fingertips are chess pieces, and everyone can mercy you. I am a national player. If a black piece wins, he will win. If a black piece loses, he will push the chess game cleanly. The monk is not wrong. The wrong thing is that they, Xia Chou, cannot speak to Bing. With their superficial insights, how can you guess as a teacher."

Yao Guangxiao seemed to be complaining, but raised his eyes and looked at Hao Fenglou with a smile, and then said, "Do you want to play a game with your teacher?"

Hao Fenglou chewed Yao Guangxiao's words and could vaguely feel that there seemed to be too many things hidden in the monk's body. He was lost for a moment. After Yao Guangxiao asked another question, he came back to his senses and laughed: "Master, you are not allowed to deny it if you lose."
