Dawn was approaching, and a faint light appeared in the sky.
The huge Forbidden City was as silent as a ghost.
In the Imperial Study of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, it was even quieter.
Wei Zaode was rendered speechless by Jiang Feng's rebuttal, but he couldn't go overboard in front of the emperor.
Endure! He could only endure!
Chong Zhen leaned against the table with one hand on his forehead and a frown. He was weighing the overall situation and occasionally looked at the list that Jiang Feng had just handed over.
After all, he had been the emperor for ten years. He knew who was loyal and who was evil.
Jiang Feng! In the end, it was still Jiang Feng…
It was most appropriate to plunder the family property of all the civil and military officials in the name of protecting the life and death of the nation and let the emperor set an example for the ministers to follow.
"Minister Jiang…"
Chongzhen looked exhausted. After a long time, he finally let out a long sigh." I have discussed your marriage with Huanhuan with the Ministry of Rites and decided on a date.”
“……”
Jiang Feng was stunned and his eyes widened.
He was caught off guard.
However, it was obvious that Chongzhen was trying to win people's hearts, which was understandable.
"Only!"
Chong Zhen slowly got up with his heavy body and muttered,""Chenchen is my most beloved daughter. Before this, the overall situation was still uncertain, and I…felt very uneasy. Therefore, I want to ask you, are you willing to wait until the disaster of Manqing is settled before deciding on this matter?”
The Emperor was truly helpless.
His tone and expression did not seem like he was acting at all.
Thinking about it, it made sense. At this juncture, snatching someone else's daughter was a little unkind.
"Your Majesty…"
Jiang Feng was a little embarrassed and raised his eyebrows."I didn't mean to go against Your Majesty's will, but…I just returned from the Central Plains, and all the civil and military officials in the court wanted to punish me. I couldn't take it anymore, and just now…I contradicted Your Majesty.”
"I understand."
Chong Zhen smiled weakly. In that case, listen to the imperial edict…"
"I am here…"
Immediately after, the three of them took a step forward, cupped their fists, and lowered their heads.
"I have decided to appoint Jiang Feng as the governor of Liaodong. He will be in charge of recruiting new soldiers and money.”
Chongzhen raised his arm and shouted,"Minister Shi and Minister Wei, assist Minister Jiang with all your strength. Pay attention to the amount of money you collect from the officials of all levels in the country.”
"Your Majesty…"
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Since things had already come to this, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only forcefully hold it in and express his gratitude.
Jiang Feng was very surprised. He was surprised at the Emperor's recognition of him. He reckoned that he had been forced to do so.
It was daybreak, and the weak light spread from outside the hall. It was hazy, and it was time for the court session.
Jiang Feng found an excuse to avoid the morning assembly.
He had to go back and figure out the current situation. This was a big deal. It was a little far-fetched to rely on speculation.
As for the reaction of the officials in the court, Jiang Feng could imagine it with his feet. There would definitely be a lot of noise.
He had a headache.
It was a real headache.
After returning home, Jiang Feng sat in the living room and drank tea. He didn't feel sleepy at all.
Damn it.
It seemed that he was put in an important position, and Chongzhen had given him great power to confiscate officials at all levels across the country, but this was a job that offended people.
It was not easy.
The dog Emperor was very shrewd. He pushed this kind of impersonal matter to him.
After drinking several pots of tea, he scraped off a lot of oil from his stomach and stomach, and his stomach began to stir.
Jiang Feng weighed the people he could use and the power he could borrow. He was determined not to let himself fall into a trap.
"Young Master, Young Master…"
Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Ru came out from the side, looking worried.""Did Wu Sangui implicate Young Master? How was it? Quickly let me take a look."
"It's fine."
Jiang Feng was not in the mood to care about these two beauties. He swung his arm and called for Sun Deshuan to start eating.
There was no time for delay. After a hasty meal, Jiang Feng rode the carriage and headed straight for the Supreme Court.
…………
After Wu Sangui was captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he was directly thrown into the Supreme Court.
Wu Sangui only woke up when it was almost dawn. He was extremely thirsty and his throat was hoarse and dry. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
With the help of the hazy light, he looked at the surrounding fence and was stunned.
Wu Sangui stood up with his hands and feet shackled. His eyes widened as he roared,"Men, men! Men…"
"What are you shouting for?"
The jailer outside the door yawned and scolded angrily with a short knife in his hand.
"Where is this place? Where is this place?"
Wu Sangui was burning with anxiety. He patted his head and tried hard to recall what happened last night, but he could not remember anything.
She vaguely remembered bragging to Jiang Feng. After that, she forgot everything.
"This is the prison of the Supreme Court."
The jailer on duty did not know who this guy in front of him was, but since he was sent by the Jinyiwei, he was definitely a serious criminal. He did not give him any face at all."You're still not being honest here. Are you courting death?”
"The prison of the Supreme Court?"
Wu Sangui's gaze froze, and his body went limp as he fell to the ground.
Why am I here? Could it be Jiang Feng? Was it that thief who harmed him?
No!
Even if Jiang Feng wanted to harm him, he had to have a crime. Could it be His Majesty?
"Aiyo! Lord Duke, he was sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Without the personal order of the Minister of Justice and the token of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, this lowly one really doesn't dare to open the door for you…"
"Lord Duke, you should…"
"Move aside!"
While he was in a daze, Wu Sangui vaguely heard the conversation outside the prison. He immediately quivered and jumped up. Dragging the metal chain, he arrived at the prison door."Duke Ji? Are you Duke Ji?"
