Connections, wealth, status, official title, territory …
In Feng Jue's opinion, these were all external things. If one managed them well, they would naturally be there.
A low starting point did not mean that one was destined to fail.
If the person one was loyal to was a pig, even if one earned mountains of gold and oceans of silver, it would all be wasted in the end.
On the contrary, if one had a godly teammate, even if one was poor, one would still succeed in the end.
Feng Jue knew this very well. When choosing people, one did not look at the other party's conditions, but only at their temperament and ability.
Seeing that Feng Jue intended to discuss in detail, Feng Jin restrained his negative emotions and maintained a fair and objective attitude.
"What do you mean?"
Feng Jue said, "I've tested Bogao a few times. Other than his slightly criticized background, he has no other shortcomings. He has the heart to stabilize the country, and he also has a heart to pity the people. He is not restricted by family background when choosing people, and he does not have the problem of being headstrong and self-opinionated … I think he is quite good. "
Now that the world was rotten to the core, the only way was to rebuild and reshuffle all the forces. Taking advantage of the chaotic world, they could promote a bold and loving ruler. Only then could they usher in a truly prosperous era. Otherwise, the world would just have a different surname.
Feng Jue had a good plan, and Feng Jin could understand his desire, but he still laughed coldly and poured cold water on his younger brother.
"Now that Huang Song is poor, his true temperament is still uncertain. Other than his mouth, what else does he have? As long as he understands what you like, what can't he say? " Feng Jin was sullen. Even if Huang Song was indeed a good candidate, he should not have decided so early. At least he had to wait and see. "You said that Huang Song has many merits, but in my opinion, he is not as reliable as Lanting."
Feng Jue frowned.
Although he had heard his elder brother mention Jiang Pengji, such praise was rare.
"Elder brother, you think highly of him?" Feng Jue asked.
Although he had different views from his elder brother, he trusted his brother's judgment.
If even a picky person like Feng Jin said it was good, there must be no problem.
Feng Jue did not know much about Liu Xi. Putting aside his character and temperament, "his" external conditions were indeed much better than Huang Song's.
He was born into an aristocratic family, and his father, Liu She, was the governor of Chongzhou. He had a ready-made territory.
Even if Chongzhou was close to the three tribes of the Northern borderline, the terrain was steep, and it was near strong enemies, it was still considered a place to settle down and have a foundation.
Not only that, but Liu Xi had also studied in Langye for three years, which was a famous institution of higher learning in the world. No matter how Liu Xi's results in the Academy were, after three years, he had been gilded with a layer of gold … Not to say that he was knowledgeable, but at least he was better than Huang Song, who was half illiterate.
When the two of them were put side by side, Huang Song did not have the slightest ability to resist in terms of external conditions.
Feng Jin's expression froze. After a while, he understood the hidden meaning behind his brother's question. After a long time, he shook his head.
"Lanting is not that ambitious. It's impossible …"
Liu Xi was indeed a good person. Everything about him was good, except for his gender. He was born a girl.
Feng Jin was not bound by the prejudice of the world, but he had never thought of letting a woman ascend to the throne. It was simply unbelievable.
Feng Jue instinctively felt that his elder brother was lying, but he also understood Feng Jin's attitude.
"A long journey tests a horse's stamina, and time reveals a man's heart. It's better to be cautious about this kind of thing that will cost you your life. " Feng Jin's expression softened a lot, and he advised his younger brother, "I'm not stopping you, nor am I biased against Huang Song. I just hope that you can be more cautious about this kind of thing. The world is not completely chaotic yet, and it's still too early to make any plans. Why not watch from the sidelines and wait for the situation to change? "
To put it bluntly, it was still too early to get involved.
Feng Jue pursed his thin lips, and his hands on his knees slightly clenched. His heart was full of struggle.
"Apart from this, if you think that Huang Song is a worthy friend, then treat him as an ordinary friend. Don't get too involved."
It was better to let it go.
His younger brother was a stubborn brat. The more Feng Jin tried to stop him, the more he might do something extreme in a moment of hot-headedness. He might completely run to Huang Song's boat and not get off. Instead of that, it was better for both sides to take a step back.
Starting with a friend who could get along as an equal would also give Feng Jue more time to think about Huang Song's character and carefully consider his own future.
"I understand."
Feng Jue sighed softly. His relationship with Huang Song was not so good that they could wear the same underwear. Naturally, his brother was more important.
As the two brothers spoke, a series of slow but heavy footsteps came from afar.
After a while, a gentle female voice was heard.
"Husband, what are you talking about? Why are you so intimate?"
A few years had passed, and Wei Jingxian, who was already a wife, was no longer as immature as before. Her eyes were gentle and full of the charm of a mature woman.
Now, he had a big belly, and his whole face was a lot more plump. He looked more plump and plump than before.
Pregnancy was tough, but she had a good mentality. The servant took good care of her, so she was more energetic than before.
Feng Jin looked at her belly, and his eyebrows twitched. He quickly got up and went forward to support her.
He was also afraid. Every time he saw her big belly, he felt his whole body heavy, and his nerves could not help but tense up.
"Second Sister-in-law, come and control Second Brother." Feng Jue bowed and waited for Feng Jin and his brother to sit down before sitting down again. He complained half-truthfully, "Second Brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We should be catching up with each other, but he just won't let go of his studies and wants to test us …"
Wei Jingxian pinched her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a chuckle. "Husband often says that Youngest Brother is talented and smart, but he may not be able to test you."
"Second Sister-in-law is really good at talking. It's comfortable to hear. Unlike Second Brother, who only reprimands and reprimands … "
Feng Jin glared at him, and the two brothers exchanged a few glances.
As they grew older, the relationship between Feng Jin and Feng Jue gradually became tense.
Wei Jingxian found out not long after she married into the family, but she could not say much due to her identity. She could only try to ease their relationship.
"I've prepared some light wine and dishes. I wonder if husband and Youngest Brother will do us the honor?"
"You're heavy. You can leave these small things to the servants in the future. You don't have to do it yourself."
Feng Jin urged her earnestly, but whether Wei Jingxian was willing to do it or not was not something he could decide.
They brewed tea, boiled wine, and drank two cups with exquisite dishes. The two enjoyed the meal and temporarily forgot about what happened just now.
Feng Jue secretly looked at the heavy Second Sister-in-law, then looked at Second Brother, who was frowning slightly. His heart softened.
It was better for him to listen to his second brother's advice and observe the situation from the sidelines for now.
The sky was dark. Feng Jue stayed in the guest room, and Feng Jin and his wife also prepared to sleep.
Before going to bed, Feng Jin suddenly thought of something.
"It's the wedding of the fourth prince and the daughter of the Liu family's concubine. It's reasonable for us to give them a small gift …"
Wei Jingxian touched her belly and did not react for a moment.
Feng Jin said again, "The daughter of the Liu family's concubine is Lanting's sister."
Although they were not relatives, Feng Jin and Liu Xi were good friends, and he was also a "friend" with Wuma Jun, so he should give him a gift.
