Chapter 645 Female Official
Zhang Bao was bedridden before this. Although Guan Xing received news in advance that he had improved, he could not see it with his own eyes, so how could he rest assured?
So he came down from the banquet and ran directly to see Zhang Bao.
At the same time, he notified his servants that Feng Yong was drunk and ordered them to prepare hot water in advance.
Unexpectedly, I met Siniang in the yard.
But he didn’t think much about it. After all, they were both in the same small courtyard. If she met Feng Yong, nothing would happen.
What's more, she called Feng Yong her brother. If she was too deliberate, she would be embarrassed.
When he went to Zhang Bao's room, he learned that Zhang Bao was indeed much better. Then he thought about Feng Yong and Siniang and hurried over to take a look, only to see this scene in front of him.
Zhang Xingyi, on the other hand, looked calm and said to Guan Xing, "Brother of the Feng family has been a life-saving grace to the eldest brother. It is a rare opportunity for my little sister to take care of her with all my heart. Don't misunderstand me, brother of the Guan family."
Looking at Siniang's natural look and indifferent tone, Guan Xingna was speechless, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not.
However, when he saw Feng Yong lying unconscious on the couch, he finally felt relieved and thought to himself that it was lucky that this kid was really drunk.
One is Siniang, who is regarded as her own sister, and the other is Feng Yong, who is lying on his back sleeping unaware of anything. Guan Xing held it in for a long time and could only choke out one sentence, "Six Niang is interested."
“It’s just a matter of hands.”
Zhang Xingyi smiled slightly.
The next morning, Feng Yong turned over and woke up. He was about to go back to sleep again. Suddenly, he glanced outside the gauze curtain. There seemed to be a person sitting on the edge of the table?
He was so frightened that he sat up suddenly.
"woke up?"
The person sitting next to the desk opened his mouth and asked.
“Brother? What are you...”
Feng Yong touched his body and found that his clothes had not been changed and they smelled bad, so he felt relieved and opened the gauze curtain.
Guan Xing looked at him with complicated eyes and asked, "You were drunk last night. Do you remember who helped you back?"
“Isn’t it a part of the family?”
Feng Yong asked strangely.
When Guan Xing heard Feng Yong's words and saw his natural expression, a stone finally fell in his heart and he nodded, "Oh, so you still remember, that's good."
Then he said earnestly, "If you don't drink well, don't try to be brave, lest you do something wrong without realizing it."
Feng Yong nodded, "What my brother said is that I don't like drinking. It's just that I couldn't refuse it last night."
At this moment, I saw another person walking in through the open door, "Second brother, is the Feng family brother awake? Oh, you are awake? Then get up quickly, you are the only one who didn't eat breakfast." "
Guan Xing stood up and said to Feng Yong, "Go and wash up first."
After Guan Xing turned around, Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Xingyi, and his sullen expression changed slightly.
Zhang Xingyi, who was standing at the door, glanced at Feng Yong with a half-smile, then turned and left.
The hot water has been prepared a long time ago. I heard that Siniang ordered it to be boiled when she got up early in the morning.
The breakfast table on the table in the front hall is also very suitable to Feng Yong's appetite. I heard that it was cooked by Siniang herself.
After Feng Yong finished his breakfast, Zhang Xingyi asked his servants to remove all the dishes and chopsticks, and then began to instruct his servants to clean the vestibule.
It seems that she has regarded herself as the mistress of this small courtyard.
Feng Yong walked behind her and coughed, "Last night, I was a little drunk. I wonder if I bumped into Siniang?"
Zhang Xingyi turned around with an evil look in his eyes, looked Feng Yong up and down, and then snorted, "Do you really remember nothing?"
Feng Yong’s eyes wandered, “I seem to have a little impression...”
Zhang Xingyi sneered "ha" and said disdainfully, "Man..."
Feng Yong's face twitched, and his heart ached. She was such a cute little girl before, why did she become like this?
"I was drunk last night and haven't visited the Zhang brothers yet. I'll go and see him first."
Feng Yong really couldn't stand Zhang Xingyi's eyes, and immediately wanted to run away.
“Brother needs to rest, don’t disturb him unless you have to.”
Zhang Xingyi's face turned cold as soon as he saw this coward trying to escape.
“Oh, oh, really? I forgot.”
Feng Yong smiled. He looked at the servants who were cleaning the courtyard over there and asked, "When did Si Niang arrive? Why didn't you send a message in advance?"
“When Duanmuzhe brought your letter back, I set off immediately.” Zhang Xingyi said casually, “Actually, I had planned to come over in person after the Northern Expedition. This time it’s just a few days earlier.”
Feng Yong was slightly surprised when he heard this, "What else does Si Niang have to do when she comes to Longyou?"
"Of course I have something to do." Zhang Xingyi led Feng Yong back to the front hall. After they sat down separately, he continued, "I came here this time to find the leader of the Xinghan Association and want to talk about something."
Feng Yong looked outside, well, there was no one.
Then he coughed dryly and said, "What do you want Si Niang to do with me?"
Zhang Xingyi saw this guy's treacherous look, and immediately showed a half-smile but not a smile, "Listen carefully, I'm looking for the leader of the Xinghan Association, not my brother from the Feng family, let alone my A Lang." .”
Feng Yong listened confusedly, "Is there another leader of the Xinghan Hui? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Which little **** dared to get fat and want to be the boss during his Northern Expedition? Tired of living?
"Okay, Chief Feng, let me tell you straight. With the great victory of the Northern Expedition, I wonder what kind of industry Xinghanhui plans to build in Longyou? Can you tell me in advance so that the inner government can be prepared?" , so as not to be in a hurry."
Zhang Xingyi said with a smile.
Feng Yong looked at her dumbfounded, "What kind of strange things are you planning to do? What are you doing to get involved in this matter between the inner government and the Xinghan Association?"
Zhang Xingyi puffed up his chest and raised his hands to Feng Yong, "Haojiao Feng Hui-shou learned that female officials have been reinstated in the palace, and I have been awarded the position of Shang Gong."
“Now I am entrusted by the Queen to help manage the internal and external properties.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he cried out, "Female officer?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xingyi said proudly, "Nowadays, most of the industries in the inner government are related to the Xinghan Hui. I will ask Feng Hui for more advice in the future."
This star color... is okay!
Feng Yong rolled his eyes, leaned over and asked, "When did this happen?"
“Soon, only three months.”
As soon as he asked the question, Feng Yong saw Zhang Xingyi looking at him with an idiot's eyes.
"Dong Yun is in charge of affairs in the palace, and the prime minister has left a history of staying in Jincheng. Do you think the prime minister knows about it?"
After hearing this, Feng Yong said oh and scratched his head, thinking that this was interesting.
I remembered that when I just came back from Nanzhong, Zhuge Lao Yao asked the palace attendant Fei Yi to ride with him in the car, and in the second half of the journey, he personally handed the sword to Adou.
At that time, I still felt that this was not deliberately improving Adou’s reputation?
Judging from the current re-establishment of female officials to participate in the management of the internal government, Zhuge Laoyao is most likely cultivating Adou's ability to govern alone.
After all, according to the original history, Zhuge Laoyao has been in Hanzhong for most of the past few years, focusing on the Northern Expedition. Although there is a history of staying in Jincheng, Adou's voice should be getting bigger and bigger.
Otherwise, Adou would not have immediately split the powers of the prime minister after the death of Old Demon Zhuge, allowing Jiang Wan and Fei Yi to check and balance each other.
Such a slippery skill is definitely not something that a rookie who is new to politics can master.
Income from the internal government is privately owned by the palace.
As far as Adou is concerned, ah, no, it should be said that as far as the mom-and-pop shop in the palace is concerned, of course the more money and food he has, the better.
After all, the prime minister is in control now. If you don’t have money or food, even if you are the emperor, they will not tolerate you.
So the expansion of the inner government is inevitable.
It is understandable to reset the female official, after all, the father-in-law has a natural dislike for eunuchs!
In addition, it is impossible for the prime minister to control too much power in the palace now, so female officials are a good starting point. They can not threaten foreign dynasties, and they do not need to pay the salary of female officials from the treasury - female officials receive the emperor's personal salary.
Finally, it is a good way to allow the inner government to continue to expand, enter into healthy development, and accumulate money and food.
Just why was Zhang Xingyi specially appointed to manage the industries involved in the Xinghanhui in the inner government?
Feng Yong looked at Zhang Xingyi with some suspicion.
Zhang Xingyi did not avoid Feng Yong's gaze. Instead, he straightened his chest and sat up straight, "Feng Hui-shou, the palace minister Shang Gong is talking to you now."
Feng Yong is really not used to Zhang Xingyi’s current appearance.
Give me back the gentle and infatuated little girl you were before!
“Didn’t Longyou just be pacified? How could there be new industries so quickly?”
Feng Yong felt a little disinterested.
"Oh, that's right." Zhang Xingyi's original intention was not to talk to him about this issue. She only heard her mention something else, "There is also word from the palace that I would like to ask Mr. Feng to help me with two things."
Feng Yong was a little surprised when he heard this.
This star color is really good. It makes me feel a little constrained by having Siniang become a female official.
But when facing Siniang, he had to speak again, "But I don't know what it is?"
"Huo Yi of Hanzhongye was a loyal man and had great ambitions for a long time. The palace wanted him to go to the army to gain experience, but he couldn't find a good way. I heard that Feng Langjun, the leader of the Xinghan Society, was He is the leader of all the men of the Han Dynasty, I wonder if I can help him with this?"
Zhang Xingyi said seriously with a small face.
“Well…” This is related to the expansion of imperial power.
Feng Yong wanted to refuse, but suddenly he remembered something and his heart moved, "It's a coincidence. I happen to have a way at hand, but I just don't know if Huo Yi is willing to give in."
"Appreciate further details."
"The Prime Minister mentioned something to me not long ago, saying that he wanted to set up a Qiang-protecting school captain in Longyou to take charge of the Qiang and Hu affairs in Longyou, Liangzhou, and Guanzhong."
Feng Yong said this and glanced at Zhang Xingyi.
Zhang Xingyi’s eyes lit up, “Maybe Feng Langjun is willing to recommend Huo Yi to the post of Colonel Protecting the Qiang?”
Feng Yong almost choked on his saliva, how dare you think about it!
“The position of Colonel Protector of Qiang is of great responsibility and is related to the safety of Longyou. Even if I am willing to recommend him, do you think the Prime Minister will agree?”
When Zhang Xingyi heard this, he realized that he had thought too much. He was a little embarrassed and pouted, "Then why are you bringing this up?"
Feng Yong explained patiently, "Under the Qiang Protector Colonel, there is a chief historian, a Sima, and a number of Qiang protectors. The prime minister has said that I have the right to recommend these positions."
When Zhang Xingyi heard this, his eyes widened, and he said with some disbelief, "Since protecting the Qiang Colonel is so important, how come the Prime Minister can even let you make the decision on such a matter?"
This time it was Feng Yong's turn to feel proud and pointed at himself. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly paused and changed his words, "This is a military secret and should not be shared with others."
How could Zhang Xingyi be so easily deceived? She looked at Feng Yong and guessed it right away, "I have been in Hanzhong for a long time, and I also know that you have a good reputation among the barbarians in Yinping, Wudu."
"You have made great achievements in this Northern Expedition. Could it be that the Prime Minister wants you to serve as the captain of the Qiang Protector?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he knew that he had lost his words. He jumped up in fright and ran to the door. He saw that there was no one around, and then he felt relieved.
He walked back and begged in a low voice, "My sister-in-law, don't speak so loudly. Otherwise, the news will be spread before the Prime Minister announces the matter, and I'm afraid I will be slapped with a military stick again."
Zhang Xingyi is not a ungrateful person. When she heard that her sweetheart was so valued by the prime minister, she was immediately happy for him.
But she remembered that she was now a representative of the palace, a female official in charge of work, and her little face that had just smiled turned serious again.
Then he blinked his eyes and said, "What Feng Huishou means is that you want to recommend Huo Yi to the school of the Colonel Protecting Qiang?"
Feng Yong nodded, "Yes."
Since the palace can make this request, it means that Zhuge Laoyao has indeed tried to delegate power to Adou - although it may only be on a small scale, it may also be the kind that can be taken back at any time.
But for Feng Yong, it is not his turn to worry about the mutual love and murderous relationship between the imperial power of the Han Dynasty and the prime minister's power.
What he is concerned about is that Huo Yi is a man of good ability.
Since the royal family made this request to him, and it was Zhang Xiaomei who made the request in person, he had to give it face no matter what, which could just make up for the relationship between the two.
"Chang Shi and Sima are definitely not good candidates. After all, Huo Yi has never had any military exploits and has no experience in leading an army. Even if I recommend him, the prime minister will not agree."
"So he can only serve as a protector of the Qiang. At that time, he can accumulate some experience and learn how to lead troops. If he is really capable, he will be able to conquer Liangzhou or restore Guanzhong in the future. Chance."
Feng Yongsheng was afraid that Zhang Xingyi didn’t understand the military’s ways, so he explained it to her in detail.
After Zhang Xingyi heard this, a smile finally broke out on his face and he clapped his hands, "Okay! Then let this Qiang protector do it. That's it. You can't lie to me anymore!"
“As I said, when have I deceived you?”
Feng Yong was greatly relieved when he saw Zhang Xingyi's crescent-shaped eyes.
This kind of smile should be protected by someone.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. The palace wants to ask Brother Feng."
Feng Yong staggered, "What else?"
Oh, yes, I just said it was doing two things.
