Note: For more accuracy, Military Office will now be referred to as Grand Council The Grand Council (军机处; literally Office of Military Secrets, or Military and Political Affairs Office) was an i dynasty </eed the court spinning around,” Gu Yun whispered “It is time to rest and recuperate”

____</eion countries seeking truce came to the capital After the Grand Council reported to Eently for a day, they replied to the Marquis of Order There were two things that needed to be ensured: first, let the traitors have no power to turn over in the next three to five years, to avoid inner conflict when dealing with the foreigners; second, deer of the treasury will be relieved temporarily, but the predica had not yet been released All four fronts were encircled, the reason why they chose to act from the west first was because the Black Iron Camp was stationed here, on the other hand, it was because they hoped to solve the Ziliujin problem at the fastest speed

Other major and minor matters were to be decided by the Marquis as he saw fit

then entered the Palace to make a brief report on the war and the achieve calculated with his fingers and was almost shocked by how effective the tickets are He couldn’t help asking, “How co either There are countless people in the court who are eager to give all their wealth There is no reason for self-preservation at the critical moment For better or worse, they had provided so first casually flattered hi that ‘merchants purchase leather in sue in a flood, waiting for the day where they could sell theiant are not small businessmen who only chase s quietly pondered for afro said without hesitation: “Businesso in the wind and rain To some extent, they are no better than the peasants who need to assess God’s face toSometimes a court decree canwith bandits on their business trips, their lives and the lives of their fauaranteed Now the country is in trouble, the giants froroup canan as their head On one hand, it is to serve the country, on the other hand, is it not to look for a place of support fro had listened to azed at with a faint look

Chang Geng did not let out the bait for too long either, he took advantage of the opportunity to press on: “At the moment, money is needed, the court also plans to issue a second batch of Feng Huo tickets My brother, you see… should we give these head ere with an unusual expression

Sos as ‘sincerity’ were only effective in a certain a For exa An was full of grief, anger, and guilt He wished he could crash into the mausoleum of his predecessor, and his decision to pass the throne to Chang Geng was sincere

But perhaps right now, as the situation was stabilizing, his point of view about Chang Geng that was slowly deflecting with each day was also very sincere

Li Min was only in his early twenties If he were to be placed in an ordinary faun to learn how to carry household le-handedly eased the danger of Great Liang At this ti in the pavilion quietly, with extraordinary talents, maturity, and stability, it truly ine a supreme ruler, who, just a few years after their accession to the throne, wasirritation to pile up, creating a strange story of the ‘The Northern Ca stock for the world Finally, the mountains and rivers were infected by the iron hooves of foreign countries, civilians being displaced everywhere… and all of this, after going through the lowest point, had begun to i entered the palace and took control of the Grand Council — ould Li Feng feel inside?

How should historians evaluate this period of history after a hundred years?

Li Feng truly did not want to know at all

Most i

Li Feng’s heart was full of gloohtly, “There is no place that is not part of the kingdo the country and the people Even if it were to ruin their property, is it not a part of their duty? What other profit would they hope to seek fro positions? Where would dignity be!”

Chang Geng was very good at observing words and expressions, htly He immediately understood where the Eh he was sneering in his heart, his face was shocked and puzzled with no hint of pretense: “Royal…”

Li Feng interrupted hihteous folk business and the Ministry of Rites to work out a proper measure, only within the li Geng put on a ‘depressed’ face for a while before reluctantly saying “Yes”

Li Feng looked at him and suddenly, seemed to had unintentionally or intentionally said, “The Ministry of Ade As it happened to rain last night, when he got up early and rushed to court, without paying attention, he had fallen and broke his leg in his ho seen by the doctor, it seeht forth the retirement request to me … in this way, the Minister of Ade of the Grand Council, A Min, do you have someone to recommend?”

This sentence was a not so clever test, but not clever did not , whether Chang Geng pushed his boat along the river flow, to recommend someone on his side to the position, or if he answered too carefully, both were not what Li Feng hoped to see The former showed that he was too ambitious, and the latter showed that he was too preoccupied with calculations

Chang Geng was stunned at first then instinctively blurted out, “What? So had happened to Master Wei?”

He appeared as if he truly was unaware of thisseemed to have ‘just returned to his senses’ and found hi questions He frowned and pondered for a long ti An: “This… Royal Brother forgive old and silver these days, I truly had no ti else I may not have read the request of the Minister yet This… the position of a Minister is very important, your subject mo suspected that he intended to stall: “It’s alright, go on”

Chang Geng stretched out his hand and pressed his furrowed brows He paused and answered, “In this way, isn’t it better for Royal Brother to publicly appraise in the court, seeking the talented individual?”

Li Feng: “…”

The ansas really unexpected Li Feng was frightened by s and was almost led by him He blurted out, “How should the evaluation be?”

“For example, the official’s resume, his achievements, hispaused, changing his voice “It can also be added whether this person has the criteria of responsibility and righteousness, such as whether they had purchased the Feng Huo ticket or not Speaking of this, Your subject suddenly was re: in the future, in order for the tickets to work smoothly, would Royal Brother include how much tickets one possessed in the evaluation criteria? This does not count as buying and selling positions, does it?”

Li Feng: “…”

Speaking for half a day, he was led back here again by this kid Li Feng felt that if he prized off the beautiful head of at this tiold ingot

Eh: “You… such outrageous words!”

Chang Geng could not afford to press on this tiize, his face dyed with a hint of sorrow unable to be concealed

After a few sentences of conversation that did not quite loomy doubts in his heart were already scattered for the ’s aim truly was not in the Minister of Adht, “It could be said that he had done his best”

Just as this thought ca and said, “Alright, you go back first to rest, letanswered, paid his courtesy and retreated, knowing in his heart that he had overcome this test

However, just as he was about to exit the pavilion, Li Feng suddenly stopped hi,” Li Feng said with a gentle expression, speaking in the tone of discussing faood to be alone all the ti Geng’s heart juhter of Grand Scholar Fang is seventeen years old She is waiting to be wed I heard that this lady has long had a good nairl of a scholarly fain would not be a disgrace to you either, it could be said that you both will ood couple Your elder sister-in-law heard about this, she would love to help you more or less take care of this matter I took it upon myself to ask you this question If you like it, Royal Brother will initiate for you, how about it?”

Thiswas a scholar who had been in office for many years, most of the important members of the court still wished to worshi+p hiood foundations, one of the Since the years of Yuan He, the noble fa fa’s expression turned unsightly in an instant

Li Feng raised his eyebrows, asking: “What’s thelifted his robes and knelt down His face was tense, but he said nothing

Li Feng asked in surprise: “What are you doing?”

Chang Geng continued to kneel in silence

“Your subject does not want to,” Chang Geng perforrand courtesy, his voice also becahness the Empress’s care asted onfrowned and said, “What is the reason? Did you hear that there is soood about that lady, or did you have another person in your heart?
