Chapter 9: Accumulate Grain, Slowly Become King
The convoy walked forward and entered Yangdi City, but did not go to the Qin Palace, but to the direction of the postal.
Postal location, which is commonly known as post stations, is an important link in the postal system and belongs to the Supervisor.
In addition to passing letters, the various officials passing by, as well as officials sent by the court, all live in local postal places.
Of course, if there is no place for postage, the pavilion department is also a place for these people to stay. However, unlike the postage department, ordinary people in the pavilion department can stay as long as they can provide road guides, while only officials can live in the postage.
As the capital of Qin, Yangdi City is naturally different from ordinary places. It is not as magnificent, but it is also solemn and magnificent, occupying a considerable area.
After sending Wei Yun to the mailing door, Jiang Ji had no intention of entering and said to Wei Yun who was about to get off the car: "Tingwei was tired all the way, so Gu would not disturb him. Tingwei was just resting, so Gu said goodbye first."
"If you are lucky, Your Highness the King of Qin will give you a gift. How can you be worthy of Your Highness the King of Qin?"
Wei Yun was also very polite, and his tough face was a little softer.
"If the Tingwei is so talented, how many people in the world can afford it?"
"Yun is very good at virtue and talent. Your Highness praises Yun is not afraid to be accused of it. I don't know how many people can beat Yun in the world. Not to mention the distance, I just say that Fengtang, who has the talent of the king and the master, is much better than Yun."
Wei Yun responded very modestly and told Jiang Ji that someone had some impression in his original memory.
Although this Fengtang is a bit famous, it is still far from the name of Wang Zuozhi. And because of his appearance, he is not successful. Could it be that Fengtang and Wei Yun know each other? And is Wei Yun's move trying to recommend this Fengtang?
Jiang Ji thought to himself, and still had a smile on his face: "Tingwei is really too modest. I will go back to the palace first. Tingwei is just about to rest."
Watching the convoy gradually fade away, Wei Yun, who was standing on the roadside, sighed deeply.
Originally, he saw that Jiang Ji was broad-minded and had a vaguely revealed that he had the best choice for people to use. So he moved his heart and thought that his talented friend, who was depressed and unsuccessful because of his background and appearance, took the opportunity to recommend him to Jiang Ji.
But Jiang Ji did not say anything, either he didn't know Feng Tang, or he knew but looked down on him.
At this time, Jiang Ji, who was in the palace, naturally didn't know what Wei Yun was thinking. He sent someone to call Fengyu, Shaofu, to ask about Fengtang.
Feng Yu didn't know why Jiang Ji suddenly cared about someone like Qifengtang, but he didn't dare to neglect the slightest.
"Your Majesty, Fengtang is a person with a dislike in the country. He has been filial to his parents since childhood, has a quick mind and excellent literary talent."
"Reasonablely, such a talent will be considered a filial and honest person, but he was born with a very scary birthmark on his face, so he was not recommended by successive Xianwei County County Mayor and the Prime Minister."
He judges people by his appearance and loses his son Yu. Although the Dayu Empire does not have explicit regulations, among the potential rules in the officialdom, if you want to be an official, your appearance must be upright. If you look scathing, your future will basically be bright.
Even the candidate for the emperor is the same. If Jiang Ji is ugly, the throne will have nothing to do with him.
In the case of Fengtang, naturally no one hired him. Even becoming a minor official was a luxury, let alone realizing his ambitions.
"So, Fengtang does have great talent?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ji couldn't help but think.
Wei Yun must have known the situation of Fengtang, but he mentioned it in front of me that his relationship with Fengtang is absolutely extraordinary. Since that is the case, why didn’t he help?
Wei Yun was able to become Tingwei Zheng at the age of thirty. He certainly had his own talent, but it would be impossible without the help of the family behind him.
If such a person wants to help Fengtang, it is not difficult. After all, the potential rules are never explicit regulations, and there is no precedent before.
Perhaps it was because of his temperament that he did not want to use his power for personal gain, or perhaps Feng Tang refused Wei Yun's help.
It is also possible that Wei Yun was planning something with bad intentions, but Jiang Ji had no intersection with him and the family behind him before, and there was no need for the family behind him to stand at this time, so this possibility is not high.
So the most likely thing is that Fengtang and Wei Yun have a good relationship. If I start Fengtang, I will not only gain a talent, but also gain Wei Yun's favor, which may affect the decisions of the Wei family behind him, and maybe I can also gain a reputation that is only talented.
As for the trouble, there will definitely be some criticisms from some people, as well as lemon essence, and the changes in the perception of me by those who look down on poor children.
The two phases are more beneficial to using Fengtang.
After making a decision in his heart, Jiang Ji said, "Mr. Feng, please go to Xianwei County in person and invite this Fengtang for Gu."
Hearing this, Feng Yu raised his head in surprise and looked at Jiang Ji, and then quickly realized. Although he was puzzled, he still responded quickly: "No!"
Jiang Ji did not explain too much, but instead changed the topic: "Don't worry about this matter, now go and prepare for the evening dinner."
Wei Yun did not agree to attend the banquet, but the banquet he had prepared before could not be stopped because of this. Jiang Ji also wanted to take this opportunity to touch the others' background and have a clearer understanding of the situation in Yangdi City.
If you want to be an emperor, you first need to form a team of your own and let them give me advice and see how you can improve your chances of inheriting the throne.
Moreover, even if I am not succeeding to the throne, judging by the performance of the other two princes in recent years, maybe there will be a good show and maybe I can benefit from it, and this requires more powerful forces.
Shaking his head and throwing these ideas out of his mind. What he needs to do now is to "storage grain and slow down the king", form a team, strengthen his forces, and enhance his own strength, and do things that must be carried out simultaneously.
Even if the son is in charge of the desire for power today, he will not have no crown prince yet. Why is this? Moreover, the Zongzheng Mansion and the ministers have no objection. What's going on?
After all, the original body is just a prince and cannot touch many confidential matters. Even Jiang Ji's doubts cannot get the answer, so he can only temporarily suppress these questions.
The most important thing at the moment is to find out the forces that want to kill me, and then plan how to control Qin State in my hands, rather than just becoming a mascot.
