Hearing this, the entire Xuanzheng Hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Feng Quji, and his eyes were flashing.
Such great achievements will definitely be rewarded.
But what you reward is a big problem.
It would be fine if money and fiefs were made, but if you entered the court and became an official, it would inevitably change the current power structure.
When talking about this issue, Emperor Gan Wu also had a headache.
In terms of money, I am afraid that I am not as rich as Li Changfeng, and neither the current treasury nor his treasury can afford much money.
If you want to be an official, with Li Changfeng's lazy temperament, you may refuse on the spot. If it is not done properly, it will make him unable to get out of the market.
If you want to talk about fiefdom, he doesn't care about this. He is willing to give it to anything except the capital, but he is afraid that Li Changfeng will take the opportunity to say he wants to go back to Baishi City.
In fact, he had already thought about it and asked Li Changfeng to go to the Ministry of Works, but how to convince him was a problem.
He thought this in his heart and said as usual: "What do you think about Feng Aiqing?"
Feng Quji immediately replied: "We should enter the court and become an official, and we will work hard for our country and country."
Emperor Gan Wu nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Which official position Feng Aiqing thinks is suitable?"
Feng Quji shook his head and said, "I don't know much about His Highness the Ninth Prince, so I can't give it a lie!"
Emperor Gan Wu secretly cursed the old fox and looked at the other princes and court officials: "Who do you think is suitable for the ninth prince?"
After the princes and ministers were silent for a moment, some people spoke one after another.
"It's better to go to Honglu Temple to experience it first."
"The Ministry of Rites is also a good place to go."
"It's better to go to the Hanlin Academy."
...
Hearing everyone's words, Emperor Gan Wu's face gradually became gloomy.
These yamen seem to be high-end, but in fact they have no real power and do not involve the fundamentals of national economy and people's livelihood.
If Li Changfeng went here, how could he show his talent?
The eldest prince, who had been secretly observing Emperor Gan Wu's expression, felt a stir in his heart and bowed, "Father, my son thought what the ministers said was inappropriate!"
"Oh?" Emperor Gan Wu suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
The eldest prince looked upright and said passionately: "The floods in Shangzhou are enough to prove the talent of the Ninth Emperor. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent to go to these yamen? My son thought it was the most appropriate to go to the Ministry of Works!"
Emperor Gan Wu nodded secretly in his heart, just in his mind.
A trace of hostility flashed in the eyes of the second prince Li Shou and disappeared.
The Ministry of Works is his sphere of influence, so he naturally does not want to be inserted by Li Changfeng, but at this time he is not good at expressing his objection and can only remain silent.
However, court officials who supported him expressed their opposition and inserted Li Changfeng into the forces under the other two princes.
For a moment, the court was in a desperate situation.
Emperor Gan Wu watched coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.
A moment later, the uncle Murong Changkong said: "It's meaningless to argue about this now. It's better to wait until His Highness the Ninth Prince comes back and ask him what he means."
Emperor Gan Wu nodded: "Okay."
He was about to disperse the court, and Feng Quji said again: "Your Majesty, folk legend says that His Highness the Ninth Prince used the art of moving mountains, and some said that it was a divine thunder from heaven. This statement is really ridiculous. I don't know that His Highness the Ninth Prince is not sure about His Highness the Ninth Prince. How exactly did it do it?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Xuanzheng Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at Emperor Gan Wu with bright eyes.
They were also curious about how Li Changfeng did such a miraculous feat.
Especially Gu Tiancheng, who is the Minister of Works, scratched his head curiously and quickly echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, if the Ministry of Works masters such methods, it will definitely be able to make greater contributions to the country and the country!"
Emperor Gan Wu naturally would not disclose the matter of gunpowder easily, and said directly: "I won't discuss this matter for the time being."
Without waiting for the ministers to say something, he stood up and waved: "Retreat the court."
The princes and ministers had no choice but to retreat.
But they were even more curious about what it was, and they actually made Emperor Gan Wu avoid talking about it?
The second prince Li Shou looked at Emperor Gan Wu's departure and thought to himself that he did not leave the palace after leaving Xuanzheng Palace, but went to Chuxiu Palace to pay homage to his mother Concubine Lin.
Concubine Lin is younger than Empress Murong, and has a high-end appearance. She is especially good at serving others. She is deeply favored by Emperor Gan Wu and has a second only to Empress Murong in the palace.
Seeing Li Shou coming, Concubine Lin was very happy: "Shou'er, you are here!"
Li Shou abides by etiquette and bows to his head, saying, "My son pays homage to his mother, and his mother will be blessed with great blessings."
Concubine Lin smiled and said, "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite, get up quickly."
As he said that, Concubine Lin helped Li Shou up.
Li Shou looked around and saw two maids present, and said, "My son has something to say to his mother, let them go down first."
Although Lin Fei was surprised that something was going to avoid her personal maid, she nodded and said, "You guys go down."
The two maids bowed and retreated, and Li Shou couldn't wait to say, "Mother, my son needs help from me if you have something to do!"
Concubine Lin did not agree and said in confusion: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."
Li Shou said solemnly: "The Ninth Emperor's Brother returns to Beijing..."
Next, Li Shou told the details about Li Changfeng's return to Beijing, and then expressed his hope that Concubine Lin would go to Emperor Ganwu to find out how Li Changfeng opened the gap in Liyu Mountain.
After knowing Li Shou's purpose, Concubine Lin shook her head directly: "No, the harem cannot interfere in politics. This will only make your father dislike it and will also endanger my mother's status in the harem."
"Mother's Mother!" Li Shou looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "What if it makes the father dislike? As the saying goes, mother is noble by the son. As long as the son inherits the throne, who can shake your status in the future?"
Concubine Lin still shook her head: "No, I'm afraid that if you can't find out anything, it will make your father dislike it, and it will not do you any good."
Li Shou did not give up and said seriously: "Mother, the eldest brother is supported by Murong. What is behind the son minister? I don't know what Li Changfeng's background is, how should I deal with it in the future? Knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle, but my minister doesn't want to
Lose!”
After hearing this, Concubine Lin was a little moved.
Indeed, compared to her family background, she is not a little worse than Empress Murong, and Li Shou does not have an advantage in this regard.
She already knew that Li Changfeng was managing the flood in Shangzhou, and was shocked by the gods. In her opinion, Li Changfeng would definitely become a strong competitor to the throne and would pose a powerful threat to Li Shou.
But she shook her head: "No, your father has never told you, how could you tell the people in the harem?"
"Mother!" Li Shou knelt down on the ground with a pounce, and said with a serious expression: "I have fought with the eldest brother and the sixth brother for so many years. Do you think that after they inherit the throne, you and I can do it with me.
Have a good life?
Now that the ninth emperor's brother Li Changfeng is born, it is likely to change the division of power in the entire dynasty. Whether it is to win over and suppress them with the two of them, show goodwill with them to win the favor of the father, or make plans to deal with him early,
You need to know his background!"
As soon as this said, Concubine Lin showed hesitation: "But, with the mother's understanding of your father, he will definitely not say it. Doing this will do more harm than good!"
Li Shou nodded and said, "Last time, the son-in-law and Li Ji suppressed Li Changfeng together, but the eldest prince spoke for Li Changfeng. It must be that the queen found out what news and mentioned him. Are we going to be one step behind their mother and son?"
Concubine Lin had been resentful of Empress Murong Gao. When she heard Li Shou say this, she shook her teeth and said, "Okay, then mother will give it a try!"
Li Shou was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mother!"
...
After the morning court, Emperor Qianwu came to the big tree by the lake in the Imperial Garden. Gao Dali ordered people to bring all the memorials over and let Emperor Qianwu review the memorials while enjoying the cool air.
Emperor Qianwu was in a good mood and laughed: "The Nine Sons really give me a face. When I think of the expressions of the court officials today, I feel funny!"
Gao Dali bowed and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how can they understand your vision?"
Emperor Qianwu nodded and said, "There is no need to say more about the Nine Sons, but he is too lazy. This time he must let him change it when he returns to Beijing, otherwise he would have to waste all his talents?"
Gao Dali hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty said so much!"
At this moment, a little eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lin is asking for a meeting."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianwu was a little surprised.
Over the years, his habit has always been that he would go to the harem to find a concubine to favor him after handling the memorials of the court. Everyone in the harem knows the rules.
Now that he is still busy, Concubine Lin actually asked for a meeting. What would happen?
Could it be...
Thinking of all the princes and court officials, they were very curious about what Li Changfeng had used to open a hundred-zhang gap in Liyu Mountain, Emperor Gan Wu immediately had some guesses.
After pondering for a moment, he said with a deep look: "Transfer."
The little eunuch bowed and left, Gao Dali thoughtfully.
A moment later, Lin Fei Shi Shi, who had been dressed up carefully, walked over and smiled like peach blossoms, saying, "I wish you a greeting to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Gan Wu smiled and raised his hand and said, "No gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I wonder what Concubine Lin did to see me?"
"It's nothing. I haven't seen Your Majesty for many days. I miss you very much and come to visit Your Majesty."
"Oh? Is that right?" Emperor Gan Wu looked at Lin Fei with great meaning and said, "Now you have seen me. I have to be busy with state affairs now, so go ahead."
After hearing this, Concubine Lin was stunned for a moment.
She never thought that Emperor Gan Wu was going to send her away now and didn't even give her a chance to greet her. How could she find out the news?
For a moment, Concubine Lin was a little at a loss.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Gan Wu tentatively said, "Is it possible that my beloved concubine has something to ask?"
Thinking of the fact that Li Detachment said before that Queen Murong might have found out the news, his holy favor is no less than Queen Murong.
Moreover, Emperor Gan Wu had already seen that she came with purpose. If he talked about the left and right, he would rather speak out directly and appear more open and honest.
Concubine Lin organized a speech and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I heard that Changfeng's method of controlling the floods in Shangzhou has been quite magical recently, and it was even regarded as a god by the people. I was curious and wanted to ask Your Majesty what he did. Arrived."
