My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 80 My father became the Minister of War and entered the cabinet!
The entire imperial study.

As Si Zhongxiao's voice fell, the place became extremely quiet.

It was obvious that after hearing this, Emperor Jianhong's hand holding the armchair paused slightly.

Si Zhongxiao never interrupted Jianhong when he was thinking.

Now he stood there patiently and quietly, with a respectful look on his face but lost in thought in his mind.

Well known.

Even a small county magistrate cannot be a local.

Naturally, Huang Yuangao, a native of Liangjiang County, could not be appointed as the Governor of Fengqi Road.

Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble.

However, if Zeng Shilin stayed in Liangjiang County.

The trouble caused is likely to be even greater. Zeng Shilin has monopolized the power of Fengqi Road, and the hidden dangers are also considerable.

In the emperor's mind, balancing officials should be the top priority.

Si Zhongxiao knew very well that what he said was just an introduction.

Emperor Jianhong must have some ideas about what to do next.

At this time, it is necessary to send a prince to be enfeoffed in Liangjiang County.

If we get Huang Yuangao over there as well, Fengqi Road will still be safe.

Although Huang Yuangao was from Liangjiang County, his only son held an official position in the capital.

Don't you want to go back to your hometown to beg for bones? I let you go back to your hometown by yourself!

Later, Zeng Shilin was ordered to come to Beijing.

He was transferred to be the Minister of War, given the title of Grand Secretary, and entered the Cabinet...

This move can also serve to check and balance the Prime Minister Li Zhen!
This move kills three, four, and five at once!
But if that’s the case…who is the beneficiary?

Emperor Jianhong slowly raised his head and met his boss Zhongxiao's eyes, with a half-smile on his face:
"A good trick by Si Daban is to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf."

Si Zhongxiao bowed respectfully.

Without any hesitation, he knelt on the ground.

Use your forehead to accurately press against Emperor Jianhong's shoes.

The sound is gentle and soft:

"Si Gou'er has no selfish motives in serving His Majesty."

"Thank goodness you still remember that you are my dog." Emperor Jianhong looked at the back of Si Zhongxiao's head as he leaned over, a rare smile on his face, and reached out his hand to gently stroke his hair:

"Among all the civil and military officials in the court, I'm afraid Si Gou'er is the only one who is loyal to me, right?"

"Heaven and earth can bear witness." Si Zhongxiao raised his butt higher.

…………

In Liangjiang County, Wangxianju, which had just opened for two months, had already become the leader in the catering industry!

Even merchants and students from other counties came here to visit.

The entire Wangxianju was crowded with people and full of noise.

In a box somewhere.

"In other words, in just two months, I earned six thousand three hundred taels?"

Zeng Anmin looked at the silver bills that Shen Jun handed over to him with both hands, his eyes a little dazed, and he murmured softly.

Six thousand three hundred taels.

What concept?

It is equivalent to earning one million and eight thousand in two months in the previous life.

He thought that he would need to build up his fame slowly, and he was also prepared to make money slowly.

But I didn’t expect that chicken essence would have such a huge impact on the feudal era!
It's like a person who has been eating bird shit all his life suddenly tastes sugar...

At this time, Shen Jun looked at Zeng Anmin with admiration in his eyes.

He has become Zeng Anmin's most loyal lackey.

"Brother Quan Fu, this restaurant has just opened and is not well-known yet. If two months pass, all the restaurants in Jiangnan will probably regard Wangxianju as their most prestigious restaurant!"

When Shen Jun said this, his face turned red.

This February, he has been busy with the "Weijixian" project.

In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, he personally led several maids to make "Wei Ji Xian" at home according to the method given by Zeng Anmin.

Sometimes I work all night long. Although it is hard work, the results are remarkable!!
"Hmm~"

Zeng Anmin looked at the white banknotes in his hand.

My heart is filled with comfort.

He inexplicably recalled the scene when his father didn't give him money.

Tsk.

You won't give me money, right?

I can earn it myself!
Not only can I earn my own money, I also want to become richer than you!

Call ~
He was just about to pat Shen Jun on the shoulder to show encouragement when he heard Dachun's anxious voice outside:
"Master, there is an imperial decree coming to the mansion, you must also return to the mansion to listen to it!"

Imperial edict? ?
Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up slightly.

It seems that the case of Prince Jiang’s rebellion has been concluded, and the reward from the court has been received!
"go!"

Zeng Anmin didn't even say hello to Shen Jun, he just stood up and walked out of the box.

Shen Jun could naturally understand Brother Anmin's feelings, and respectfully watched Zeng Anmin leave.

……

"drive!!!"

Along the way, Zeng Anmin swung his whip in a circle.

The horse under his crotch was running so fast that it was almost foaming at the mouth.

Finally, the Governor's Palace came into view.

"Hey!!"

Pulling the reins and stopping the horse, Zeng Anmin took Dachun and walked towards the mansion with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

Then he saw a dusty eunuch in red standing beside his father in front of the main hall.

This was the first time he had seen a eunuch since he traveled through time, so he looked at him a few more times out of curiosity.

"Go back to your room and take a shower and change clothes first. Wait until the master finishes talking to the angel, and then listen to the imperial decree."

Aunt Lin smiled and talked to Zeng Anmin about some rules.

In the feudal era, there was nothing much except complicated etiquette.

"Ok."

Zeng Anmin smiled and touched Hu Zi's little head, then walked towards the house.

……

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Zeng Shilin, the Governor of Fengqi Road, has made meritorious contributions in handling cases and is promoted to Minister of War, Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, and member of the Cabinet."

"Zeng Anmin, the left clerk of the Xuanjing Division of Liangjiang County, is gifted in Confucianism and Taoism. I am very pleased and have appointed him as the prince's tutor."

"Appreciate this."

After the imperial eunuch read the imperial edict, the family bowed and stood up.

Zeng Shilin had a blank expression on his face. After receiving the imperial edict, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zeng Anmin's heart was pounding.

My father has become an official in Beijing? ?

Or the Minister of War? ?
Leading the Grand Secretary and entering the cabinet? !
All he needs to do is spend a few years in the capital to gain the title of Grand Tutor, Grand Protector, Grand Preceptor, etc., and he will become one of the Three Dukes! !
If this is run well, wouldn't it be better than staying in Liangjiang County and being the governor? ?

But when Zeng Anmin cast his gaze at his father's slightly gloomy face, his brows frowned slightly.

Why does Dad look... not very happy?

Is there some hidden secret behind this?
Just as he was secretly guessing, he heard his father's face soften slightly, revealing a touch of kindness. He looked at the eunuch and asked:
"I wonder who will take on the post of Governor-General after I go to the capital?"

Oops, I lost it? ?
Seeing his father's smile, Zeng Anmin's eyes became a little dazed.

In his impression, his father gave people the impression that he was a master strategist, very cunning, and never smiled at anyone.

He was originally worried that if his father with such a personality really got promoted to the imperial court, there might be something wrong. But he never thought that his father had this side? ?

Dad, I didn't expect that in the end, I still underestimated you!

Sure enough, after seeing the old man's expression, the eunuch was flattered. He quickly moved close to the old man and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zeng Anmin didn't hear clearly what was said.

But I saw that my father's face seemed to become more gloomy...
