    As Chen Suowen listened to Feng Jian's story, his mood was ups and downs. Even though he had spent many years cultivating Qi, he could not control the expression on his face.  Feng Jian's narration of what happened was thrilling. When Chen Suowen heard that Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and all the officials were captured by Kong Youde's rebels, his face became very ugly.  Sun Yuanhua suffered such a catastrophe. Even if Kong Youde's rebels did not kill him, the court would still punish him, and his career would be dim in the future.  ¡°I am considered a member of the Sun Yuanhua family, and it will be difficult for me to get ahead in the future. It is related to my own honor and disgrace, and no one can be indifferent!  Later, when he heard that Feng Jian had rescued all the warships of the Dengzhou Navy, Chen Suowen felt a little incredible. His son-in-law was really extraordinary. Under such unfavorable conditions, he was able to rescue all the warships of the Dengzhou Navy without falling.  The transfer of all the warships is really appalling!  Chen Suowen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of the current predicament and find another high position.  Denglai spends 900,000 taels of silver every year, at least half of which is spent on the navy. The imperial court¡¯s investment in the Denglai navy is not small.  Because of the existence of the Denglai Navy, it could reach southern Liaoning directly from the sea, directly posing a huge threat to Hou Jin and directly containing a large part of Hou Jin's military power.  There are also knowledgeable people among the court ministers. They all know that preserving the Denglai Navy to a certain extent will also protect the Denglai town as a deterrent to the Hou Jin Dynasty, which will also reduce the Ming Dynasty's considerable pressure.  Due to the pressure, they had to spend military funds on the Dengzhou Navy.  Now Feng Jian actually captured the entire fleet from Kong Youde's rebels. Chen Wen could imagine how the court ministers celebrated when they heard the news.  "Compared with the corrupt situation in Denglai Town that was destroyed by Kong Youde's rebels.  Feng Jian snatched food from a tiger's mouth and moved the Dengzhou Navy away from Dengzhou Water City. This was definitely a miracle.  As for why the officials in Shuicheng were not rescued, no one would care at this time.  Chen must ponder what he heard.  If this thing works well, not only will he not be affected by Sun Yuanhua, he will even benefit from it!  But if you want to get a share of the pie, the key depends on whether your son-in-law is willing to do so.  Chen Suowen returned to his usual expression, stroking his long beard under his chin, staring at Feng Jian and saying: "The wise son-in-law led the officers and soldiers of Pingduzhou Flood Camp to rescue the entire Dengzhou Navy, and directly cut off Kong Youde and other rebels from the sea.  The escape route also preserved the military power of Hou Jin. For such a great contribution, the emperor and the court will definitely reward you for your great success! I congratulate you in advance!  Turn around, my father-in-law will be implicated by Sun Yuanhua, and his career will be bleak in the future.  However, he is isolated and helpless in the center of the court. If he loses Chen Suwen, his only support, there will be no one in the court to help him speak, and it will be difficult for him to do anything that concerns him. He really needs someone who is familiar with the government to give advice and suggestions.  .  Since the two of them became Weng's son-in-law, they have cared for and protected themselves even more, and now they have done this amazing job.  The father-in-law must not be left behind and let him change from a bystander to an important participant at this time.  Feng Jian made a decision in an instant and said: "This time we can take the opportunity to transfer the naval warship from Dengzhou Water City. Thanks to my father-in-law for formulating a strategy and planning in advance. My son-in-law can rescue the Dengzhou naval warship." Feng Jian  The words "formulate strategies and plan in advance" are very important, which means that the entire operation of transferring the Dengzhou Navy warships was led by Chen Suowen, and Feng Jian, as the military attache, carried out the orders in detail.  Most of the credit goes to Chen Suowen.  Chen Suowen was pleased that his son-in-law was no ordinary person.  In order to achieve the established goals, some vested interests will be decisively given up.  Now it seems that my son-in-law has big plans!  Chen Wenwen is not a rigid person. Since he and Feng Jian are already sons-in-law, they naturally have to consider themselves more in everything.  By now, in order for the two of them to gain a firm foothold in the court, they must support each other and help each other. Feng Jian's intention is obvious, that is, to take this opportunity to get rid of the influence of the Sun Yuanhua incident so that he can make further progress in his official career.  Why is his son-in-law not too enthusiastic about his career, but instead trying his best to promote his career? Chen was moved by what he heard, but also a little strange. Feng Jian's actions seemed to have a deeper meaning!  ¡°I really didn¡¯t know in advance that Feng Jian had already built a naval city near the mouth of the Nan Jiao Lai River in advance, and now all the warships of the Dengzhou Navy are anchored there.  This shows that Feng Jian had a premeditated plan for the Dengzhou Navy. Could it be that he knew in advance that Kong Youde's rebel troops would capture Dengzhou City!  Chen Suowen shook his head secretly and drove this ridiculous idea out of his mind. Feng Jian spent so much time and effort, and his ultimate goal was to control these warships in his own hands.  Since he has given this huge credit to himself, he will make a good plan for him and then?His wish.  The two of them looked at each other for a while, with knowing smiles on their faces, and they understood each other tacitly.  Chen heard that Fu Xu thought for a while and said: "Dengzhou City was occupied by Kong Youde's rebel soldiers. The Holy Emperor and the court ministers must have reported this matter, but they may not have known that the wise son-in-law had transferred the naval ships. They must have been anxious and discussing what to do.  Deal with this rebel army." Seeing Feng Jin nod, he continued: "I suggest you report the transfer of the Dengzhou Navy to the imperial court as soon as possible to appease the emperor and the ministers of the imperial court." Feng Jin said: "This memorial.  How to write? Who should I give credit to? I should bribe the ministers in the court?  " Hearing Feng Jian state his request clearly and neatly, Chen Suowen stroked his beard, frowned and thought for a while: "In addition to you and me and the meritorious personnel under my command, it is best to make a contribution to the governor Sun Yuanhua." "  Feng Jian showed a puzzled look, and Chen Suowen explained: "Kong Youde's rebel troops captured Dengzhou. Without Sun Yuanhua's order, but you moved the naval warships privately, even if you successfully moved the naval ships, it would be a big deal."  As long as someone brings it up, your great achievements will be discredited. Therefore, it is best to state in the memorial that you were ordered by Sun Yuanhua to transfer the Dengzhou Navy to avoid falling into the hands of Kong Youde's rebels.  Sun Yuanhua, who is trapped in trouble, will certainly not refuse our kindness. "Feng Jian said clearly, "Wouldn't this make it more clear that you and I are Sun Yuanhua's group?"  Chen Suowen shook his head and said: "The advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages. It not only solves the problem of acting without orders. It also allows the courtiers to see that we are not ruthless and unjust people who add insult to injury. This kills two birds with one stone. As for the criticism you are worried about.  , This is inevitable in the court situation. The best way is to use money to open the way and block the mouths of those censors and officials. " Feng Jian said: "It is really a good idea to make a contribution to Sun Yuanhua.  However, the son-in-law did not agree to continue to have too many connections with Sun Yuanhua. The chief minister of the cabinet Zhou Yanru and the second minister Wen Tiren were fighting to the death. Zhou Yanru acted without scruples and would lose his sacred heart sooner or later. Although Wen Tiren was also very greedy,  But he always caters to the emperor, and sooner or later he will replace Zhou Yanru as the chief minister of the cabinet. It is best to show his favor to the Wen faction while the two sides have not yet decided the winner. " Chen Suowen looked at his son-in-law in surprise, as if he didn't know him.  , just now he seemed to accept it humbly, but suddenly his analysis of the situation of the DPRK was clear and reasonable.  Of course Chen Wenwen didn¡¯t know that Feng Jian had experience in later generations.  He had a general understanding of the upcoming events and was puzzled. He could only assume that Feng Jian had suddenly enlightened under his own inspiration and understood the dangers in the court.  Chen Suowen nodded and said: "Two factions in the court are fighting. We are on the outermost periphery. We should try our best to avoid it and not get involved. Now the naval incident has pushed our son-in-law to the forefront. We are forced to make a choice in order to  It seems to me that Mr. Wen Tirenwen¡¯s group has indeed taken the initiative and we should move closer to them.¡± My father-in-law agreed with his statement, and Feng Jian was in a good mood.  He continued: "Even with the support of Wen Tiren and other officials, it is still a bit uncertain to control the navy. My son-in-law thinks that he still needs to find some allies." Chen Suowen looked at Feng Jian with bright eyes and said, "Xian son-in-law.  What you mean is" Feng Jian nodded and said: "Your Excellency, you still remember the eunuch Gao Binggao last time" Chen Suowen understood and said: "You mean to directly communicate this matter to the sky through this Eunuch Gao!  "As he spoke, he pointed upward with his finger, and the meaning behind his words was self-evident.  "My son-in-law remembers that Eunuch Gao once said that nothing can be done in court as long as enough money is spent. His words are so sure, and there must be something to rely on behind them. We just take this opportunity to spend money to put Eunuch Gao and Eunuch Gao behind him.  By bribing the people together, not only can the current affairs be accomplished, but also help can be obtained. There will definitely be many more difficult things for the court in the future. " Chen Suowen shook his head and said, "I have no way of dealing with the eunuchs of the inner court.  It is best for you to handle the matter of getting in touch with this Eunuch Gao yourself. " Feng Jian also knew that the civil servants and eunuchs of the inner court of the Ming Dynasty had always competed with each other. It was really difficult to expect a civil servant from Chen Suowen to put down his dignity and bribe the eunuchs of the inner court.  Feng Jian said: "When it comes to contacting the inner court, my son-in-law will appoint his subordinates separately. The silver and property required for bribery will be prepared by him. However, my father-in-law will have to worry about the affairs of the court ministers." Chen Suo heard that he was secretly relieved, and Feng Jian said.  He was very pleased that Jian did not make things difficult for him. Next, he had to plan carefully who his subordinates should visit after entering Beijing.  How should bribes be paid?  How should the memorial to report merit be expressed?  Thinking of the proud place, Chen ?I felt a burst of excitement when I heard that the two consecutive evaluations during Pingdu's appointment were excellent. If Sun Yuanhua hadn't been involved, his promotion would be just around the corner.  Now that his son-in-law has given him such a big credit all at once, his promotion is a certainty. The difference lies in the intensity of the promotion and whether he has real power.  Chen Suowen stroked his long beard and smiled and said: "You and I are a family now, so there is no need to be so polite. I will write a memorial and arrange the people who will come to Beijing. You can also go back and make preparations. Tomorrow you will go with the people I have arranged.  Jing, try to get this matter to a conclusion as soon as possible. What do you think of this arrangement?" Unknowingly, Chen Suowen's attitude towards Feng Jian changed. Feng Jian could also feel this. In the future, the relationship between the two parties will still remain.  There will be a bigger gap, but it's hard to say anything now.  Feng Jian stood up and bowed and said: "I will follow the arrangements of my father-in-law. My son-in-law will go back and make arrangements now."  !  (To be continued)
