"I plan to change Nanxiang Academy into the Royal Academy."

Although the Prime Minister has a sharp gaze, Governor Feng is as steady as an old dog, at least on the surface.

 In fact, if a general who guards the border is recruited in the name of the emperor, even if this is the emperor's intention, the prime minister's office must be notified.

"This is not enough to explain why I didn't get any news when you came back from Liangzhou."

 The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty knocked harder on the handrail, and his eyes became sharper: "This is against the rules!"

 The hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly.

“Well, oh, well, weren’t you, Prime Minister, too ill to take charge of the affairs a few days ago? Could it be that the palace was afraid that the Prime Minister would be overworked, so they suppressed it on purpose?”

 There is still a tacit understanding between the two sisters Zhang Xingyi and Zhang Xingcai.

Yesterday he ate food from the palace and slept in the palace last night. Governor Feng delayed it all day and night before coming to see the prime minister. The loopholes that needed to be fixed had already been filled.

Many people believe that Adou had no rights at all in the era of Zhuge Lao Yao. This is actually a misunderstanding.

 In the original history, the prime minister stayed in Hanzhong in his last few years and devoted himself to the Northern Expedition.

Jincheng, as the rear area, was left to Adou to guard.

Adou was able to order the death of Liu Yan, a veteran minister, which is enough to show that he has considerable power.

It’s not just as simple as the sacrificial mascot he claims to be.

Of course, before killing Liu Yan, Adou might have asked his father-in-law for his opinion.

For another example, when the prime minister was critically ill, Adou sent his servant Li Fu to ask about the prime minister's successor.

 Shang Shu Pu She is the deputy chief of the Shangshu Station and has the power to record documents.

 In the Later Han Dynasty, Shangshutai was already the actual center of power.

 The important ministers in power in the court must have the title of "Recorder of Secretariat" in order to have access to secrets.

As a servant of the minister, Li Fu was directly ordered by Adou, which also shows that Adou has certain rights.

Feng Yong advised Zhuge Liang to let Adou handle some things independently because the little fat man often habitually asked his father-in-law what he meant when dealing with things.

 Especially when the emperor and the prime minister were in Nanzheng, they unconsciously returned to the same pattern as in Jincheng.

Coupled with Zhuge Laoyao's temperament of "no matter how big or small, he will resolve it personally", this will invisibly increase his burden.

As an important general on the frontier, Feng Jishi returned to Hanzhong under the emperor's order.

 According to the rules, the emperor must also pass through the Chancellor's Desk to inform the Prime Minister's Mansion.

 So Zhang Xiaosi had already found a scapegoat in advance before he set off.

This person is Shangshu Pu and She Li Fu from Shangshutai.

 The reason is also very simple.

 Because Li Fu was from a genuine Shu wealthy family, and he was also one of the first Shu people to seek refuge with the late emperor.

From the perspective of the world, the pattern of the world in the next few decades has almost been determined.

If the Han Dynasty can conquer Guanzhong and become the power to strengthen Qin, then there will be no need to mention it.

Except for those who made the wrong bet and couldn't turn back, the Shu family knew how to do it.

The clan clan of the Li family had no choice but to turn back and were suppressed until they could hardly breathe.

 Liu Fang, who has won the treasure, has the intention of running out of Shu and establishing his own business.

  The remaining Li family in Shu are in urgent need of a new spokesperson for their interests.

 Li Fu is naturally the best choice.

In order to establish a good relationship with King Feng Gui, Li Shangshu Pushe not only took the blame for this.

 It would be a great joy to send a few legitimate daughters or granddaughters to the Feng Mansion to talk to Li Mu in the sixth room about the deep love between sisters.

It's a pity that Feng Gui Wang doesn't seem to be very fond of womanizing Yazi.

 A few years ago, some people said that King Feng Gui liked women who were engaged, but I don’t know who had some bad character who started the rumor. Bah!

Does the Li family seem to be in need of a girl to marry?

What a pity, what a pity!

At the same time, it can be seen from this that Zhang Xiaosi's political talent is very simple and unpretentious, and it is not easy to do great work by accident.

"Anyway, the matter of the Royal Academy is not a big deal. It is understandable that the Prime Minister went out of his way not to let the Prime Minister know when he was seriously ill."

Governor Feng said lightly, "Besides, isn't it almost the end of the year? I just happened to be back to report on my work."

 The assessment of local officials in the Han Dynasty was called the Shangji system.

 Regularly submit accounting documents to superiors and report on local governance status.

Feng Yong, as the governor of Liangzhou, does not have to come back in person according to the rules, but if he comes back for something, it would make sense to take part in the plan.

 The truth is this.

 But I always feel like something is wrong.

However, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill and had not recovered from his illness, and his energy was really low.

 I didn’t think deeply about Feng Jishi’s words.

Based on his trust in the Emperor and General Feng, the most the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty could do was ask someone to bring the document and have a look at it.

 More importantly, he was quickly diverted by what Feng Yong said:

“Nanxiang Academy changed to Royal Academy?”

"right."

Feng Yong nodded, took another sip of tea calmly, and put his heart in his throat back into his stomach.

 Seeing that the Han Prime Minister had a thoughtful look on his face, he pondered for a long time, and then suddenly asked:

“Is there any progress in Liangzhou’s examination and talent selection?”

Although he knew that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was a bit of a monster, Governor Feng was still shocked:

 “How does the Prime Minister know?”

Shouldn’t ordinary people ask “why”?

"As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, if I can't even think of this, wouldn't I be derelict in my duty?"

 Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong angrily, "Now who doesn't know that if you want to take part in the Liangzhou exam, Nanxiang Academy is the best way?"

“If Nanxiang Academy really becomes a place for the imperial court to select talents, do you know what the consequences will be if you don’t hand it over?”

Governor Feng curled his lips: "Didn't I come back in the cold winter?"

“So I’ve said it before, no matter what I say about you externally, but in terms of seriousness and justice, I believe you are not guilty.”

Zhuge Liang smiled with satisfaction, not sure whether he was satisfied with his own vision or with Feng Yong:

“It is precisely because of this that I infer that there has been progress in the Liangzhou examination.”

Feng Yong gave a thumbs up: "The Prime Minister is still awesome."

 Speaking, he took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Liang:

“Ma Youchang also went to Liangzhou and changed his name specially. Now he thinks I don’t know!”

As Governor Feng said, he laughed mischievously: "This is the strategy he sent me."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang heard it, took it, and opened it with interest, "It's a good thing that he didn't lose his ambition in Nanzhong for several years."

 Looked through it briefly and nodded approvingly: "It seems a lot more pragmatic than before."

He and Ma Su were like father and son, and they had carefully trained Ma Su for so many years. Unexpectedly, during the battle at Longyou, Ma Su's performance made Zhuge both heartbroken and extremely disappointed.

 Fortunately, Feng Yong came out, which gave the Han Prime Minister some comfort.

 Now that I see that my former apprentice can get back on his feet, I am naturally happy for him.

“Ma Youchang is actually a talented person. If you can get rid of your previous problems, you can try to use it. But you can only try it slowly and don’t give him a heavy responsibility suddenly.”

Zhuge Liang sighed, "During the Battle of Longyou, I made this mistake and almost failed in the Northern Expedition."

Honestly admitting his mistakes, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty has always been open-minded.

Feng Yong smiled:

"Liangzhou takes exams to select talents. Whether they are good or not, you will know after taking one test."

 Although this is not completely fair, it is relatively fair.

 There is no absolute fairness in this world anyway.

 Luck is also a part of strength.

Zhuge Liang nodded: "If we can really select good talents through this method, it will be a great thing for the court."

Then he saw Feng Mingwen take another big sip of tea, then reach for the teapot to pour himself some tea.
