Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 96
Night, Feng Mansion.

With Qianyuan taking over the Qingqiu Mansion, the Feng family no longer regained its previous glory, and the once dazzling light gradually dimmed.Even so, no one can truly ignore the existence of the Feng family and the influence of the Feng family in Qingqiu Mansion.

The Feng family in the dark night is more like a lurking giant beast, curled up into a ball, lowering its once proud head, buried in the body, only revealing a pair of cold eyes, staring in the dark.

study.

Yun Mengwei appeared again.

Feng Quji asked: "Does the lord have any new instructions?" There was a hint of hope in his eyes.

Accompanying the consolidation of Qianyuan's power was Feng Quji's helplessness and bitterness. Especially recently, with the adjustment of a new round of officials, he felt that an invisible net was slowly but powerfully enveloping the Feng family.

The harder the struggle, the tighter the tie.

If this goes on like this, let alone accomplish anything, it will be difficult to even protect oneself.

Yun Mengwei remained expressionless, "The target has become powerful and invincible. The lord has ordered you to lie dormant completely and take the initiative to show affection to the target. It is best to win the trust of the target."

"It's a bit difficult, isn't it?" Feng Quji smiled bitterly.

With the current strength of the fifteenth prince, it is not difficult to find out the relationship between him and the fifth prince after a little research. How could he be trusted?
Unless crazy.

Yun Mengwei said: "As long as you lower your posture, can the Lord still shut you out? Many times, knowing it is one thing, but not knowing it is another thing."

"I understand."

Feng Quji was thoughtful. Although the fifteenth prince controlled the highest power in Qingqiu Mansion, the lower levels of government and county government power were not damaged, which was the keynote set by Feng Quji before.

The fifteenth prince also needed the Feng family to make a gesture.

Where there is demand, there is a basis for cooperation.

"If possible, let's pay a visit." Yun Mengwei suggested.

Feng Quji nodded, very decisively: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go." For some reason, Feng Quji suddenly felt a burst of relief, maybe because he no longer needs to be a sandwich? !

Even if it's only temporary.

"very good."

Yun Mengwei smiled meaningfully and disappeared again.

…………

In the evening of the next day, Feng Quji came to see him with a well-prepared generous gift.

Although Qian Yuan was a little surprised, he still hosted a banquet in honor of Feng Quji. Regardless of their different positions, as far as Feng Quji is concerned, Qian Yuan still appreciates Feng Quji.

This is a man of real ability.

In order to show sincerity, at the banquet, Feng Quji talked openly and honestly about the intricate relationship between the major families in Qingqiu Mansion, as well as the historical origins of the major families.

For example, the Tang family was originally a military family in the capital of God, but after an accident happened, the whole family moved to Qingqiu Mansion for refuge, and gradually took root in Qingqiu Mansion.

Another example is the Cao family, which is closely related to a certain family in the county.

Feng Quji also talked about the same intricate relationship within the government office, who is from the Cao family, who is the pawn of the Zhao family, and who is the guest minister of the Tang family.

It was simply a faction reveal.

Even Cao Rui and other officials, Feng Quji had some unique comments, which gave Qianyuan a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if seeing the sun behind the clouds.

Uncle Zhong who accompanied him also listened with great interest.

This is the difference between inside and outside the bureau. Compared with Feng Quji, a native magistrate, both Qianyuan and Uncle Zhong are outsiders, and many secrets are below the surface of the water.

For this dinner, the guests and hosts should act as soon as possible.

After sending Feng Quji away, Uncle Zhong stayed behind, "Your Highness, something is unusual today."

"It's a bit abnormal." Qian Yuan smiled, "It doesn't matter whether he really wants to change his family, or puts on a show to protect himself, or is lurking. As long as what happened tonight gets out, many invisible The obstacle will dissipate of itself, to our advantage."

Whether Uncle Zhong is in the government office, or Li Wei and others who have been delegated, after taking office, they still encounter all kinds of invisible resistance when they really take over the power.

It's exactly the same as Qianyuan's Fan Yize County at the beginning.

There is not only the collision of old and new interest classes, but also the factors of Feng Zhao and other families.

Well now, Feng Quji's visit is tantamount to announcing that the Feng family has officially bowed to the feudal prince's mansion. The families below are used to watching the wind, and their attitudes will soften.

This is of course what Qian Yuan would like to see.

Uncle Zhong still couldn't let go, "It's still not right. Feng Quji is not a fool. He should know that His Highness cannot trust him, and it is impossible not to know what kind of impact this visit will have. But he still came, It really can’t help but make people suspicious.”

"Then what do you think Feng Quji's purpose is?" Qian Yuan asked.

"I can't figure it out." Uncle Zhong was also puzzled.

Qian Yuan said: "Since this is the case, let's just wait and see what happens, just be more prepared, the fox's tail will show up one day."

"That's the only way to go." For some reason, Uncle Zhong always felt a little uneasy, shook off his thoughts, and said: "Tell Your Highness the good news, our people have already connected with the grain merchants of Liusha Country, and the other party has agreed Sell ​​grain. If all goes well, the first batch of grain will be shipped to Yushui County in a few days."

"That's good." Qian Yuan also heaved a sigh of relief.

If the food problem is not completely solved, Qianyuan always feels that his heart is hanging, and the government and county government also feel that they have no confidence when implementing the new policy.

After all, eating is the most basic need, and even the stomach problem has not been solved, how can we talk about other things?

Now, I can finally let go of the burden.

"There is one more thing." Uncle Zhong said, "Our purchase of grain this time has attracted the attention of the quicksand royal family. The other party expressed that they would like to meet His Highness at an appropriate time."

"Let him come!" Qian Yuan was very decisive.

"Your Highness is not worried at all? Although there is no war at the moment, the atmosphere on the border is already very tense. I am worried that someone will make a fuss about it if you rashly contact the quicksand royal family at this juncture."

Qian Yuan smiled and said, "This is the least of your worries. Let me ask you, what is the empire's position on the current situation? Is it war or peace?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's probably a reconciliation." Uncle Zhong was a little lonely. Since when did the powerful Daqian Dynasty lose its domineering arrogance?
In the past, if the Quicksand Kingdom dared to do any inappropriate actions on the border, it would be immediately warned by the empire, and even directly sent troops to teach them a severe lesson.

It's not like now, the government and the opposition are all eager to calm things down.

The empire is no longer that empire.

Qian Yuan didn't have such emotion, "That's it. If we can reopen the border trade at Fiaoshuiguan, it will only ease the relationship between the two countries. It's too late for the imperial court to be happy, so how can you be harsh?"

"I see. I'll give them an answer tomorrow."

Uncle Zhong is Uncle Zhong after all, and he has already glimpsed the intention behind Qian Yuan.

But, since when did that His Highness, who had no opinion at all and was always angry at every turn, become so far-sighted and calm?
Uncle Zhong was in a daze.

…………

Night, Long Street.

The moonlight is like a little silver light, sprinkled on the bluestone slab.

Coming out of the feudal prince's mansion, Feng Quji was a little upset for some reason. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he noticed a black figure flashing away at the corner of the street.

"Go back first, I'll walk alone."

Feng Qu hurriedly withdrew his followers, took advantage of no one's attention, and turned into a nearby secluded alley.As soon as he stood still, a man in black appeared in front of him, it was Yun Mengwei.

"Why are you here? Does the prince have any urgent instructions?" Feng Quji was a little surprised.

"Yes, my lord wants something from you."

"what?"

Feng Quji was even more confused.

Yun Mengwei approached suddenly, showing a strange smile: "I want your life."

"What? Uh~~~"

Before Feng Quji could react, a cold light suddenly appeared and cut his throat directly, his head fell to the ground with a "gudong", and rolled several times on the wet bluestone slab.

Eyes round.

Yun Mengwei was expressionless, hurriedly arranged the scene, and then disappeared into the night.
