Chapter 623 Assigning Tasks
It's two quarters.
Jingzhao House.
Feng Shu held the large ceramic bowl in his hand, chewing and swallowing without any image.
Seeing this, Cui Xianshou glanced at the full-bodied working meal in front of him, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Whether I am an official in Jingyang or Yangzhou, I have never heard of the imperial court having a working meal.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really kind-hearted, treating me and other courtiers like relatives. "
"Pfft~
Cough cough cough! ! ! "
Feng Shu was startled when he heard the words, and a mouthful of soup suddenly gushed out.
Immediately, he took out his embroidered handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said meaningfully: "Master Cui only knows one thing, but not the other.
Although this working meal is made by the Imperial Dining Room, and the ingredients are also selected from local tributes, the silver for this meal is paid by ourselves.
But for this item alone, my salary has dropped by [-]% compared to the past! "
"Hehe~
Feng Changli's words are really too petty!
It is a blessing for us courtiers to be able to taste tributes from all over the world at such a low price every day, so how can we complain in secret!
If His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't taken good care of us, I'm afraid that only the Dachaohui would be able to eat this tribute once! "
Cui Xianshou said as he picked up a piece of vegetable and chewed it carefully, his face was full of extreme comfort.
In his opinion, apart from Wei Zheng and other upright officials who pretended to be upright officials in the civil and military dynasties of the Manchu Dynasty, who else lived only on salary.
If this is the case, even the cheapest house in the capital cannot be rented, let alone settling down in Chang'an, where every inch of land is expensive!
"Your Majesty Cui is ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince to collect money, so naturally he doesn't care about this mere imperial salary.
But how dare we and other humble officials from poor backgrounds be compared with the rich and powerful Mr. Cui.
And Master Cui doesn't know?
In previous years, there would be a lot of tribute left in the palace, and His Majesty had already complained about it.
Now I have to wait and consume every day, so I can only make ends meet.
In this way, Master Cui really thinks that this is His Highness's kindness, not just to collect my money and salary? "
Feng Shu curled his lips and said with a sarcasm on his face.
Cui Xianshou was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the delicious food had become dull.
He just wanted to flatter Li Jing in front of Feng Shu.
But judging from the current situation, even with such a thick skin, he really couldn't open his mouth.
"Ugh!
His Highness the Crown Prince's actions are really a bit...
Not very authentic.
It's just that the imperial court is short of money, so it's understandable for His Highness to act like this. "
Cui Xianshou thought for a while, lowered his face and said with a sigh.
Feng Shu sneered when he heard the words, and responded even more jokingly: "It's fine if it's just greed for a little money, but how can His Highness the Crown Prince act so simple."
"Oh?
The old man knows very well that His Highness likes to kill two birds with one stone.
But this work meal that can be distinguished at a glance, is there something else to say? "
Cui Xianshou turned his head and asked curiously.
Seeing this, Feng Shu sneered, shook his head and replied: "Lord Cui, you know that the imperial court used to take half an hour to take a bath at noon.
But since the implementation of this working meal, I only have a stick of incense to eat.
Your Highness, this is not only deducting my salary, but also increasing my working hours! "
"pat~"
Cui Xianshou felt sore when he heard the words, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground suddenly.
He originally thought that he was the most shameless person in the Tang Dynasty, but now it seems that Li Jing is more powerful than him!
"That's all, that's all.
Now that the old man is convinced by His Highness the Crown Prince, he will never dare to give birth to two hearts in the future! "
"Hehe~
As long as Master Cui understands, His Royal Highness is definitely not comparable to you and me. "
Feng Shu suddenly changed the subject, met Cui Xianshou's astonished gaze, and said seriously: "Now His Majesty intends to support the princes, and all civil and military officials in the court have their own ideas.
But this officer and Lord Cui should know His Highness's means, and we need to think more about what we do in the future! "
"call!"
Cui Xianshou exhaled heavily, cupped his fists full of bitterness and responded: "Thank you, Chief Feng, for reminding me, I guarantee that I will never betray His Highness the Crown Prince.
Now it seems that His Highness is also very dependent on Feng Changli, and I will ask Feng Changli to raise more points in the future. "
"Don't dare!
Don't dare to be! "
Seeing this, Feng Shu got up to return the salute, stroked his beard and said in a low voice: "Now the situation in the court is turbulent, you and I are both pawns that His Highness the Crown Prince has already laid out.
In the future, you and I belong to different camps, and we still need to communicate with each other on weekdays.
Otherwise, if you accidentally miss the important event of His Royal Highness, you and I will end up not much better than Master Cui Ren! "
"It's natural, Feng Changli can rest assured!"
Cui Xianshou nodded in agreement, thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Mr. Feng, I have only been back to Beijing for more than ten days, and I don't know much about the affairs of the princes.
I don't know who Feng County Magistrate thinks among the princes, who is worthy of a fight with His Highness? "
"Master Cui's words are ridiculous!"
Feng Shu quietly pointed to the door, and then said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and Wen Chengwu's virtues will shine through the ages!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also wise as deep as the sea, and his strategies and layouts are all intelligible.
Whether it is Hengshan County King, Han King, or Wei King, they are far behind His Highness.
It's fine if you princes keep their own place, but if once you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end well in the future! "
"Oh?
Feng Changli really thinks so? "
As soon as Feng Shu finished speaking, a question suddenly came from outside the door.
Cui Xianshou and the two heard the words, bowed with bitterness on their faces: "Feng Shu and Cui Xianshou, my humble ministers, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Get up, my family doesn't need to be too polite."
Li Jing strode in with his hands behind his back, glanced at the Dahai Bowl on the table with a little distaste, and said casually: "What Feng Changli said just now is very reasonable, and I also agree with it very much.
However, if this palace insists on choosing Feng Changli as an assistant, who will Feng Changli choose? "
"This……"
Feng Shu broke into a cold sweat when he heard the words, rubbed his hands and thought about it carefully, then gritted his teeth and said, "Report to Your Highness the Crown Prince.
When Weichen was serving the master in Changsun's mansion, he had several face-to-face encounters with King Hengshan.
The king of the county was kind to the minister at the beginning, and now he thinks he will be a little closer to the minister. "
"Well, not bad.
Li Chengqian has been acting strangely lately, so it is appropriate for you to go and inquire. "
Li Jing touched his chin and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Cui Xianshou secretly smiled wryly when he saw it, and consciously stepped forward and said: "Report to Your Highness.
Concubine Yang has some connections with my Qinghe Cui family, if this minister finds an opportunity to join Concubine Yang's sect, she will definitely trust him more. "
"Um!
Concubine Yang's methods are only under the empress's mother, and she really needs to send people to monitor her place. "
Li Jing smiled satisfied when he heard this, turned around to look at Cui Xianshou and the two, raised the corner of his mouth and asked: "I think the two adults already understand the purpose of my visit, so I will not be too polite with the two adults.
Now that the two adults both want to choose the candidate, let's act according to the wishes of the two adults.
However, this palace stated in advance that this trip must be extremely dangerous.
If the two adults retreat at this moment and intend to shrink back, I will definitely not blame the two of you! "
"Please rest assured, Your Highness!
The two of us voluntarily serve His Highness, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation! "
Cui Xianshou and the two hurriedly worshiped after hearing the words.
Everyone is smart, so how could they believe Li Jing's polite words.
Presumably, if the two believed it was the truth and refused seriously, Li Jing would definitely turn his face on the spot and deny him.
"it is good!
Now that the two adults have agreed...
Liu Rong, I will leave the rest to you.
remember.
The two adults are both family members, so don't hit the board too hard, let's start with fifty big boards to appetize! "
"what!!!"
"Impressive order!"
