Seeing Feng Ziying's expression uncertain, Wu Yaoqing didn't know what his future boss was thinking.
It is indeed difficult to deal with Prince Zhongshun. He is a brother of the emperor and is extremely favored. This boss is also said to be quite favored by the emperor and can be used for great purposes. If Prince Zhongshun is displeased because of this and his impression on the emperor is affected, then it will be a big deal. Some of the gains outweigh the losses.
Little did he know that Feng Ziying was thinking that if Miaoyu married him, how many people would fall into his trap in the main and supplementary volumes of the Twelve Hairpins in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions"? Devil's claw?
If Baoyu knows about it, will he think that this is the real cry of Wan Yan's sorrow and Qian Hong's tears?
Oh, bah! Why do you say that if you follow me, you will be sad or cry?
If you follow yourself, you will be free. If you follow Baoyu, who has no expectations, then you will have no hope in your life.
It seems that I am not so "dissolute and unethical", right?
Apart from Bao Dai, the only two sisters who are now confirmed to be in his house are Xiang Ling and Jin Chua'er and Yu Chua'er. Well, of course, if Bao Dai marries into Feng's house, then Zicuckoo and Ying'er probably won't be able to escape either. .
But what about the rest?
There is no need to think about the four springs and Yuanchun in the official book. If you really want to put a hat on Emperor Yonglong, then I guess you have to be like Cao Cao and Sima Yi.
In the Spring Festival, there is no need to say that Jia She is afraid that his daughter will not marry him as his concubine.
Tanchun, in fact, this is what Feng Ziying is very excited about, but under such circumstances, it is even more difficult.
Xichun left a deep impression on her, with pink makeup, light temperament, and compelling aura. She was somewhat different from the one described in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", but the age gap was so big that Feng Ziying never thought about it.
Who else? Shi Xiangyun, I do appreciate her temperament, but I guess she is destined to be just a friend.
Sister Feng? Well, this is a matter of desire but lack of etiquette.
Others, such as Li Wan and Qiao Jie, I don't know who thought of including them in the official book of Twelve Hairpins, so they are obviously inappropriate.
But for the remaining Miaoyu and Qin Keqing, does Miaoyu really want to marry herself with Daiyu? Thinking about it, I think this kind of thing is a bit outrageous.
As for Qin Keqing, Feng Ziying felt that this woman might be a time bomb and it was best to stay away from her, so he rarely even went to Ning Guo Mansion.
Feng Ziying couldn't remember exactly who else was in the sub-registers and sub-registers, but characters like Qingwen, Yuanyang, and Ping'er seemed to have nothing to do with him. However, the You sisters seemed to be in his hands, but he didn't. Still maintaining the "gentlemanly style".
All of this just flew through Feng Ziying's mind. He quickly put away such ridiculous thoughts and focused on what was in front of him.
"Dinghui'an, I'm going to negotiate with Prince Zhongshun. You have to nail Dinghui'an's side. Don't miss it." Feng Ziying finally nodded, "How can you do such a great job in the capital city where you are not familiar with the place? It’s not easy, um, let me ask, this girl Miaoyu is actually practicing in Panxiang Temple in Suzhou?”
Wu Yaoqing was a little surprised, but he didn't know what he was looking for to find this Miaoyu girl. He only knew that after he found it, it would be best to persuade her to escort her back to Yangzhou and Huaidu to transfer the salt envoy Si Yamen. If he couldn't do that, let her contact the Yamen. This one.
"Sir, according to what Brother Wenyan said, he should have been practicing at Panxiang Temple in Suzhou. At the end of last year, he followed his master Yuan Shitai to Beijing."
"Well, I understand, Yao Qing, thank you for your hard work on this matter. After this matter is settled, I will go to Yangzhou soon. Then we will have a drink and have a good talk." Feng Ziying's eyes were a little more satisfied.
Wu Yaoqing was also happy.
It seems that the future owner is quite satisfied with the performance of his team. At the same time, he also knows from Wang Wenyan that the future owner has great ambitions. I am afraid that in the future, everyone's work will not be limited to Nanzhi. It may gradually extend to Shandong and the capital city, because Shandong is said to be the hometown of the Feng family, and there are also many connections in Shandong, not to mention the capital city.
After sending Wu Yaoqing away, Feng Ziying could calm down and think about the matter.
My aunt came to see me in the evening, and Feng Ziying also asked my aunt to help convince me, but I must be reassured about this matter.
Daiyu can't come back, and it will be difficult to satisfy my mother when she comes back, so Miaoyu, who is three or four years older than Daiyu, is the best target.
If she can make Miaoyu fall in my mother's eyes and make me think that Miaoyu has a physique that is fertile, then she won't be too demanding on Daiyu, and the marriage will basically be done.
It happened that Wu Yaoqing and the others came to the door. It seemed that this was God's help. As for Prince Zhongshun, a message happened to be sent over there. Although he was not sure what it was about, he couldn't escape those things. Son, when the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, we can take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
*****
"Ziying has met the prince."
"Haha, no gift, no gift, Ziying, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The middle-aged man smiled, and a pair of slender eyes suddenly appeared on his fair cheeks, but the smile at the corner of his mouth also proved that he I was in a great mood at this time.
Prince Zhongshun and Emperor Yonglong do have very similar looks, and they are worthy of having the same mother. However, Emperor Yonglong's cheekbones are taller and his eyebrows are more prominent, making him look deeper, while this one looks brighter.
"We said goodbye at the Enrong Banquet. The prince's style remains the same. Ziying is just a commoner. How dare he disturb the prince so easily?" Feng Ziying also responded with a smile.
If someone has such a good posture, he naturally has to be discerning. No one dislikes the person who is carrying the person in the sedan chair and saying nice things.
"Haha, you are a common man, but you are stirring up trouble in the world." King Zhongshun's words were full of praise and expectation, "It's just a matter of suppressing the rebellion in Western Xinjiang. A tiger father has no dog son. You are the one who is planning to open up the sea." Both the emperor brother and Gu were shocked. It was rare for me to see the emperor brother behave like this. How many times have you been summoned by the emperor brother alone? Well, Huang Zunsu and Yang Sichang, the number one scholar in your subject, practice state affairs, and are ranked second in the top prize. But I haven’t even been summoned by the Emperor’s brother alone, that’s the difference.”
"Your Majesty, you are too complimentary. The strategy of opening up the sea was not thought by Ziying alone. Mr. Chai, the right minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of the three sides, was the initiator. However, Ziying had already thought about some ideas about opening up the sea, so he asked Mr. Chai The suggestion was also approved by Chai Gong, and thanks to the guidance of Chai Gong and Yang Heyang, Ziying was able to make such a suggestion to the court and the emperor."
Feng Ziying naturally pulled Chai Ke and Yang He in.
Chai Ke will soon return to Beijing to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of War. It is difficult to say whether the governors of the three sides will step down from their posts, but there are already rumors that the governors of the three sides may be handed over to his father.
Because there are precedents for military generals like Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong to serve as governors, it is not new for his father to be promoted from the general of the army to the governor. Moreover, the status of the governors of the three sides is far less than the key positions of Governor Xuanda and Governor Jiliao. Therefore, the acceptance of the civil servants of the imperial court was much greater.
"Ziying, there is no need to explain more. Brother Huang and Gu Xing know it well." King Zhongshun's slender eyes always have a sense of scrutiny when looking at people, but Feng Ziying can feel the friendly attitude of the other party towards him.
This also made him feel more and more that it was probably related to the opening of the sea, either Denglai building a naval fleet and monopolizing the trade routes between Liaonan, Japan and North Korea, or the Yinzhuang issue.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Ziying paid a visit to Your Majesty today. She also hopes that Your Majesty can give more advice to Ziying in the future. Ziying is young and doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. If there is anything that is not considered carefully, it would be better to ask Your Majesty to mention it. point."
King Zhongshun nodded slightly. He was indeed a good disciple taught by Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen. He was well-behaved and impeccable. The key was that his attitude was very upright, he came to the door proactively, and he also gave himself enough face in his words.
In the past, among the civil servants who were ranked number two in the rankings, which one would look down upon him and his relatives in the royal family? Every one of them has his eyes set higher than his head, wishing he could show his integrity by showing contempt for the Tian family clan members.
This also made Prince Yi Zhong become more optimistic about the son. No wonder the emperor brother was full of praise for the son.
"Ziying, you are too polite. You are a civil servant, and I am a member of the clan. According to the Zhou Dynasty's practice, I cannot interfere with government affairs. How can I give you some advice? Qi Gong and Qiao Gong, one is the elder of the pavilion, and the other is the left. Deputy Capital Censor, by the way, the official will also serve as the right minister of household affairs, right? Your masters are all civil servants and great scholars, and they are also the pillars of the country. You should ask them for more advice."
Although he liked listening to what Feng Ziying said, King Zhongshun still understood the rules of court affairs and did not dare to overstep his words.
"What the prince said is true, but the prince has a good reputation in the court, and he is also the head of the clan. From the perspective of the clan, Ziying thinks that no one can say anything to the emperor."
Feng Ziying sneered in her heart, who doesn't know that you are the other eye and hand of Emperor Yonglong?
Emperor Yonglong mainly relied on this one person to deal with Prince Yi Zhong. Otherwise, if he competed with Prince Yi Zhong in the name of the emperor, it would be easy to give someone a leg up.
Brushing his beard and smiling, King Zhongshun seemed to be in a good mood, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Naturally, Feng Ziying would not make the other party trust her just because she just said a few words. The reason why Emperor Yonglong could rely on him for help, apart from his identity, was probably more about his own abilities.
"Ziying, I heard about your trip to the south of the Yangtze River. I was very moved by what I saw and heard. Yesterday I went into the palace and talked to the emperor about the affairs of the south of the Yangtze River and Liaodong. The emperor was very worried and restless. I also heard the rumors in the court. The shipping trade from Liaodong to Denglai and even to North Korea and Japan will be reopened, and it will even be in the hands of our great Zhou Dynasty. I wonder if there is any strategy?"
After much exchange of words, King Zhongshun has determined that although the man in front of him is young, he should not be insulted. Moreover, he has the backing of Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen. In addition, he is now related to Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong. There is no interest involved, so there is no need to hide it. He also believes that the other party is a smart person and understands his intentions.
