For Lin Ruhai, thanks to the rebirth of kindness, he could only be firmly bound to be a personal minister of Emperor Yuan Xi. Of course, this does not mean that being a personal minister of the emperor is not that bad. You can still live a pleasant life.
But this also means that you have cut yourself off from the mainstream of scholars and will no longer be able to enter the ranks of important ministers. The Six Ministers of the Ministry and the Imperial Censor of the Imperial Palace have nothing to do with you, and it is impossible for you to join the cabinet.
Lin Ruhai became the emperor's personal minister. The Lianghuai salt class itself was the main source of the emperor's internal treasury. It was reasonable for Lin Ruhai to have a rich eunuch, but being reasonable did not mean being legal. If he really encountered a strong censor, he would be If you don't let go, you may be embarrassed or even ruined.
It's just that the relationship between Lin Ruhai and the Supreme Emperor is now being used as a guide by Concubine Ying, which still makes Feng Ziying a little surprised. The letter brought by Dai Quan was not forged. Feng Ziying specially let Daiyu read it. It was Lin Ruhai's own handwriting.
The letter did not contain much other connotations. It only asked the Emperor to take more care of his future son-in-law Feng Ziying. It also said that Feng Ziying was also a person who valued love and justice and knew how to repay kindness. If necessary, he would do his best to help.
According to Concubine Ying and Dai Quan, it seems that their career has been going so smoothly over the years, and even their father has not encountered any difficulties. It is hard to say that the Supreme Emperor has been secretly helping him.
But that doesn't matter anymore. Dai Quan's intention of coming to visit is very simple, which is to fight for an opportunity for King Lu. Emperor Wan Tong's ascension to the throne is irreversible, so there will still be a fight over who will succeed him a hundred years later.
The cabinet did not confirm that the prince, Prince Yohitada, would definitely succeed to the throne in the future. This shows that the cabinet does not support Prince Yohitada's lineage to continue the imperial heir, and prefers the lineage of Emperor Yonglong to continue the throne.
It’s hard to say how many years Emperor Wan Tong can live. Maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe ten years. But no matter what, such an opportunity is one that cannot be passed up for Emperor Yonglong’s disciples. As long as the cabinet does not support Emperor Wan Tong, If the heir succeeds to the throne, the lineage of Emperor Yonglong will have a chance.
The growing strength of the cabinet has been undoubtedly highlighted by the change of throne, which has also allowed more people to see the opportunities brought by this change. So today Guo Qinyun feeds the tiger with her body, isn't it for this reason, and Feng Ziying also knows it well.
As the youngest minister in the court, if Emperor Wan Tong can live for five years, maybe Feng Ziying will be the youngest minister. If Emperor Wan Tong can live for ten years, maybe Feng Ziying will be the youngest minister. If Emperor Wan Tong can live for ten years, maybe Feng Ziying will be the youngest minister. If he lives for fifteen years, then Feng Ziying may be the chief assistant. Who can let him go with such a tempting target?
Whether Dai Quan came on behalf of Mei Yuexi and King Lu, or whether Guo Qinjun was riding on him now, it was the same to Feng Ziying.
Perhaps the cabinet does not intend to let the crown prince of Prince Yizhong succeed to the throne, but it will not choose ambitious women like Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinjun and a prince with a good reputation.
If you really have to choose, you have to choose the King of Shou, who has high vision, low ambition, big talent, or the mediocre King of Fu and King of Li. No one wants another emperor as powerful as the young Emperor Yuanxi to appear.
Of course, this kind of thinking is kept secret by everyone, and everyone can experience it individually.
It's just that Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinyun don't seem to understand this truth yet, and they are still focusing on promoting the reputation of Prince Lu and Prince Gong, hoping to win the favor of cabinet ministers in the future.
"Can't you explain clearly? Others can't explain clearly. Could it be that you can't explain it clearly either?"
Guo Qinyun frowned coldly, not caring about her strange and charming posture when facing the other party.
"Emperor Wan Tong has not yet ascended the throne, and you are going to say something behind his back? Concubine Tsuen, if your words spread, you are bringing trouble for you and Prince Gong." Feng Ziying patted the woman's round buttocks and gestured in passing He glanced at the woman's slender and firm waist.
She is indeed a beauty who can make Yonglong Emperor's capital rich. She is willing to scrape her bones and lose her longevity. I wonder how the concubine Long Fei's Meiyue River tastes, which is comparable to her?
Feng Ziying didn't know why such a thought suddenly came into her mind. Maybe it was because she thought of Dai Quan coming to find her? Guo Qinjun was choked, and then said not to be outdone: "I'm not afraid! If it doesn't work, you will die sooner or later, what should I be afraid of?"
"How can it be that serious? The new emperor also needs to rest and recuperate well after he ascends the throne. In recent years, the government has been
It’s a lot of work, so where can I have so much energy to do other things? Feng Ziying held the woman's waist with both hands, "Quan Fei, it's too early to make other plans now. I'm not trying to shirk the blame. If you ask me, I don't know what to do. How about you tell me what you want me to do?"
One sentence left the woman speechless. Yes, what can Feng Ziying do now?
If I were to build momentum for Prince Gong now, wouldn't I be afraid that the new emperor would be jealous and cause trouble? If you keep a low profile, will you still have hope for the throne in the future?
Guo Qinyun also felt a little confused and helpless for a moment. She really didn't know what to do now.
Do you just do nothing and let the new emperor relegate himself to the cold palace after he succeeds to the throne, and then imprison his son? What if I find a chance to drink a glass of poisonous wine?
Observing a look of confusion and confusion in the woman's eyes, Feng Ziying felt amused.
This woman looks dashing and heroic, but she is actually simple-minded, but it is true that she is a little bold and impulsive in doing things. At least ordinary women, as a noble concubine, cannot do the things of a minister.
Seeing that the other party was distracted, Feng Ziying lowered her hands and held the other party's buttocks. With a strong force, she lifted the other party down and placed it beside her. She said leisurely: "It is necessary to prepare for a rainy day, but you also need to judge the situation. Now I am jumping too much. I just have to take precautions." It will make the new emperor jealous. Prince Gong is young and has plenty of time. What should be his should be his. If it really isn’t his, don’t force it. Forcing it is a disaster.”
The woman refused to give up and struggled to get up, "You said it lightly, who should be and who shouldn't be? If you fight, it may not be yours, but if you don't fight, it's definitely not yours."
Feng Ziying was speechless. That's right. If you don't fight for it, you will definitely have no chance of winning the throne. But in the current situation, with Guo Qinjun's little power, why should you fight for it?
How many nights did you sleep with me just because of your charming looks?
Seeing the woman next to her still biting her lip and looking at him reluctantly, Feng Ziying felt a little helpless. When she met this persistent woman, she couldn't get away without saying a few words.
"Quan Fei, do you really want me to give you advice?" Feng Ziying sighed and looked at her sideways. The woman nodded.
"Okay, then I will give you a suggestion. Whether you accept it or not is up to you to decide." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "The cabinet does not agree with Prince Yi Zhong, mainly because of the compensation mentality, because the emperor is not at fault, and the court is considering avoiding the north and south. The war dragged on for too long, the finances were low, and they were worried about destroying Jiangnan, so they made such a compromise. After all, they were all members of the Zhang family, and Prince Yi Zhong himself had been a prince before, and he almost ascended the throne as emperor, and the people did not There’s not much resistance.”
Guo Qinjun nodded slightly and admitted that what the other party said was true. From the perspective of the cabinet and the civil servants, they did not care who succeeded the throne, they only cared about the stability of the Zhou Dynasty.
"But from the perspective of the loyalty and morality of a minister, the emperor was unconscious after the assassination and was unable to manage the affairs of the country. It is reasonable for Uchizen to abdicate. Given the situation, Prince Yohitada's succession can also be said to be an expedient measure. However, if the emperor's children are excluded from the right to inherit the throne In addition, it would be against the human ethics and morality of the cabinet ministers and even the civil servants of the court. Therefore, the cabinet and the civil servants of the court do not agree with Prince Yohitaka's being the crown prince and his succession in the future. In other words, there is a high chance that he will be crown prince in the future. This prince knows how to store things easily."
Feng Ziying peeled off the cocoon and revealed the whole story, which made Guo Qinjun's breathing quicken.
Although they also knew that the cabinet insisted on giving inheritance rights to the emperor's line, the detailed story inside was not very clear. It was only when Feng Ziying said this that she understood.
"Then what should I do, so that Prince Gong can have a chance?" The words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth. When Guo Qinyun heard the word "Yi Chu", his heart jumped a few times. Even Feng Ziying looked at it. The other person's upturned breasts trembled slightly.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Feng Ziying looked at Guo Qinjun, "Maybe you will be very angry, disappointed, aggrieved, or even desperate." "What do you mean?" The woman was surprised and a little panicked.
"I'm asking you, if you just want Prince Gong to be the prince so that he can inherit the throne in the future, then you should understand what kind of prince and emperor the ministers and ministers in the cabinet like." Feng Zi English His anger became even more subdued, “The cabinet actually decides
Who will take the throne in the future? If Prince Gong's performance is the most popular among the cabinet and the important ministers in the court, then his probability will be very high.
Guo Qinjun was confused by Feng Ziying's words. She didn't understand the meaning of Feng Ziying's words at all.
"Is there any problem with this? Prince Gong is smart. Whatever the cabinet ministers and important ministers like you want him to do, I will let him perform well according to your wishes..." Guo Qinyun said tentatively.
"Then what kind of emperor do you think the cabinet ministers and us important officials like?" Feng Ziying asked. Guo Qinyun's mood moved slightly, "What kind of emperor?"
"An emperor who thinks the same as us and is willing to cooperate and support the wishes of the cabinet." Feng Ziying said quietly. "Ah?!" Guo Qinjun's face suddenly turned pale and her eyes were dull: "You mean the puppet?!"
Feng Ziying laughed. This woman was not too stupid. She finally understood.
"The word "puppet" is not quite accurate. The cabinet does not need a puppet who is in name only. It can easily get out of control. Instead, it needs an emperor who is connected with us, has the same opinions, and is willing to compromise. In fact, everyone thinks that the best stage for the government to run is During the period when King Lu was supervising the country, it was still a little short of the mark. King Lu failed to perform his duties and had almost no sense of presence. The court was not willing to do this, so this level still needs to be adjusted..." Feng Ziying said lightly and authentically. .
