Nanjing has no enthusiasm, and Beijing is dragging its feet as long as possible.
Anyway, they are just a few dead fish, of little value, and all the big fish that can be fished out in Jiangnan have been fished out.
Feng Ziying was not sure whether Gu Bingqian would drag her to Nanjing and take advantage of the situation to let her handle these dead fish and shrimps. For him, why should he dirty his hands?
If it is handled well, there will be no praise from the court, because there is no benefit, and if it is not handled well, it will offend some people out of thin air.
If he really wanted to leave it to him, it would have caused him a lot of trouble out of thin air. As far as he knew, although the Shui Mu family was an empty shell in Nanjing, they still had a small income in the capital, so naturally there were people there. Stare.
Although the amnesty pardoned their sins of rebellion, it also deprived them of their royal status and reduced them to civilians. Naturally, some people will try to find other crimes they were originally responsible for, so as to take advantage of them. This is also water-soluble and Mu Zheng did not dare to return to Beijing easily.
It is estimated that many people in the capital, including the Shui Mu family who are still suffering in Nanjing, are still counting on Emperor Wan Tong to seize the opportunity to regain power in order to make a comeback, but after this battle, everything is in vain. The flames, the bright pearls and the beautiful flowers, have all come to nothing.
Qin Keqing's harsh words made Shuitang and Mu Tan change their expressions slightly, but thinking about their current situation, the two women felt that this seemed to be the truth and there was nothing to say.
There was still some shame in me, but after I didn't dare to die, I became less and less courageous to die, and gradually I seemed to have adapted to my current life.
Feng Ziying observed the subtle changes in the faces of Shuitang and Mu Tan, and sighed in her heart, how could a beautiful woman like Qing be a thief, but this thief was not what they wanted, but a tragedy brought about by the destruction of the family.
I don’t know how many scenes this scene has played out in the past few years, and how many famous families have fallen into dust and turned into dust.
"I can't answer you for the time being." Feng Ziying let Shuitang and Mu Tan put on her clothes before getting up, "I can only say that we have to wait a while."
It can be seen that although the movements are clumsy, they must have been practiced, and it seems that they have accepted this kind of life now. Is it considered an outhouse?
It doesn’t count, maybe it’s just better than a pair of jade arms, a pair of jade arms, a thousand people’s pillows, and a little bit of red lips, in the Jiaofang Siqinglou, right?
"How long?" Shuitang and Mu Tan both wanted to ask, but did not dare to ask. Qin Keqing asked them for them.
"Maybe there will be a result in June or July." Feng Ziying thought for a while, "No matter what the situation is, there should be a result."
"But I'm afraid we can't wait any longer." Qin Keqing shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Feng Ziying asked in surprise.
"Prince Shou took a fancy to the two of them and wanted to take them into his consort." Qin Keqing smiled half-heartedly, "In fact, Prince Shou had his eye on them as soon as he returned to Beijing, but the emperor was about to ascend the throne at that time, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous. So bear it down, until you go to Jiangnan, he started to jump up again after the incident at Xihua Gate,..."
Feng Ziying was dumbfounded. What was going on with Zhang Chi? He was so sorry for herself?
Of course, few people may know about the relationship between these women and him, but if he wants to investigate further, he can still find out from Long Jinwei. Maybe Zhang Chi has never thought about it.
"Isn't he afraid of impeachment by the censors?" Feng Ziying asked, tilting her head.
"Be strong without desire. Maybe he felt that he had no hope of becoming a big man, so he became so arrogant?" Qin Keqing also couldn't figure out why this cousin, who was still somewhat related by blood, behaved like this.
"It's impossible." Feng Ziying shook her head decisively: "How can these people think that they have no hope of becoming a powerful person before they have completely lost their chance? I know a little bit about this kind of person. Most of them feel that someone has taken an interest in him again, so they feel that I became so proud that I got a little carried away."
From the perspective of the cabinet, if they intend to depose Emperor Wan Tong, King Shou seems to be the most promising. After all, he is the eldest son of Emperor Yonglong. As for other factors, the cabinet does not seem to care.
"What should we do?" Qin Keqing frowned. Feng Ziying couldn't do this in person, right?
"Simple, I'll go see Princess Long and Prince Lu, give them a few compliments, and let "Today's News" write about how wise and virtuous Prince Lu is, and just stay upright." Feng Ziying said lightly.
"Ah? Is that okay?" Shuitang and Mu Tan didn't react, but Qin Keqing immediately came back to his senses and laughed. "Your move to beat the cow across the mountain is really powerful. I'm afraid my cousin will have to kill him immediately." I’m living with my tail between my legs, but does King Lu really have hope?”
Feng Ziying shook her head and said nothing.
King Lu is probably the most hopeless, but he can't tell anyone this.
If the cabinet really needs to be changed, if I were the chief minister, I would definitely not choose someone wise and capable. Of course, I would not choose someone as hot-tempered and impulsive but stupid as King Shou, or mediocre people like King Fu and King Li. Cowardly people are the most suitable choice. In a word, they are the easiest and easiest to be manipulated by the cabinet ministers. This is the most suitable choice.
Feng Ziying is not sure what the cabinet is thinking now, but he estimates that the cabinet will have to operate in this direction sooner or later.
Or King Fu could take over. If King Fu is obedient and sensible, then no problem. If King Fu also has other ideas, then he might find some excuses or set up a trap to make King Fu fall into a trap and ruin his reputation, and then let King Li take over.
This continued to damage the reputation of the Zhang royal family, making it unable to confront the scholars, and the cabinet could run the government with more ease.
Anyway, the first and second assistants can be rotated. If you really have any responsibilities, you can just resign and go to power. The older ones will go directly to the official position, and the younger ones can come back to work. This is the group interest transaction of the scholars.
Even though she was a member of the scholars, Feng Ziying had to lament that the power of the scholars now was quite terrifying.
Emperor Yonglong could also choose some imperial parties to drive a wedge between the northern and southern scholars, and added the influence of the Wuxun warriors to restrict the mainstream scholars and barely achieve a balance.
As soon as Emperor Yonglong was assassinated, this balance was broken. The scholars immediately worked together and tacitly seized a considerable part of the imperial power. By the time Emperor Wantong succeeded to the throne, there was no capital to fight with the scholars. .
Especially after the martial arts group was suppressed and divided, even Tang and Miu realized this. They either had to stay low and be small, or they had to automatically integrate into the mainstream scholars, otherwise they would be marginalized or even expelled from the court.
Perhaps this era is the era that scholars have been pursuing and are most satisfied with? But why, as a scholar, do I always feel unwilling to do so, or am I still not satisfied?
Or is it because he is born with a dictatorial heart, or is it because the huge sense of mission brought by the time traveler makes him have to take that step?
Feng Ziying suddenly felt a little confused.
*******
Daiyu's pregnancy was long overdue.
At least in Feng Ziying's view.
After Xue Baochai and Shen Yixiu became pregnant one after another, the pressure on the third wife, no, it should be Daiyu, was unprecedentedly huge.
Even Tanchun, who had just passed away, took the initiative to give in, not to mention Miaoyu and Xiuyan.
While Zijuan, Xueyan, Daiyu, and Tanchun were happily calculating and discussing which day and posture they would conceive, Feng Ziying was also calculating when she would go south.
The situation in North Zhili and Shandong is getting worse and worse. The spring drought followed by the late drought, but the situation in the two places is still unusually calm, and nothing can be seen.
The more this happens, the more something is brewing. This is Feng Ziying's judgment, but if he says it, he will be criticized by Liu Yi?
Now that she is leaving, Feng Ziying doesn't bother to argue with Liu Yixian and others anymore. It's not worth it and it's not cost-effective.
However, he repeatedly reminded Jia Yucun and Lu Song to be more vigilant.
In May, the weather suddenly became extremely hot.
Dad finally came to Beijing.
The split of the Northwest Army was carried out in an orderly manner.
However, Feng Ziying’s idea will definitely not come true.
The arrangement of Liu Dong? and Liu Baichuan has also become the most difficult problem. In addition, the positions of Ma Chengxun, Qi Bingzhong, and Chai Guozhu also need to be adjusted, which means that the general soldiers of Bian Town will also face a round. Big move.
During the period when Emperor Wan Tong claimed to be ill and absent from the government, it seemed that the cabinet was more happy to see this and could adjust military personnel more as they pleased.
Feng Ziying estimated that after this round of personnel adjustments, the serious right minister of the Ministry of War might become the temporary right minister again. Of course, he would be preceded by the title of left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then governor of Jiangnan.
With Qiu Shiben's sudden resignation, the position of general of the fifth military camp is also very hot and attracts everyone's attention.
Previously, Feng Ziying wanted to push Qi Bingzhong to take office and gained recognition from Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong, but she encountered resistance at the cabinet level.
Ye Fang and Li Du believed that there were already enough soldiers in the northwest of Beijing, and the general of the fifth military camp was the most critical one. They should consider the balance. However, they could not choose a more suitable candidate for the post, so in the end they decided A compromise was made, Ma Chengxun was appointed as the general of the fifth military camp and resigned as the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu. The commander-in-chief of Ji Town, You Shigong, was transferred as the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu. The commander-in-chief of Datong, Yang Yuan, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. Liu, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was ?Served as the commander-in-chief of Datong.
This series of changes further confirmed the views of Feng Tang and Feng Ziying, that is, the court was already very suspicious of the Northwest Army, or their father, and even did not hesitate to kill Ma Chengxun, who was also from the Ma family of Datong Wuxun. He was transferred to Beijing to serve as the general of the fifth military camp.
Everyone knows that although the Feng family and the Ma family are not at odds, they are definitely not from the same family, and the Ma family has been the target of suppression by the court before.
And Liu? was from Jiangxi. Although he fought bravely, his military discipline was corrupt. He was also arrogant and arrogant. His performance in Liaodong was not good. His relationship with Zhao Lijiao was also good and bad. However, the imperial court was in Liaodong a year ago. The promotion of Liu Yu to Datong Commander-in-Chief despite poor performance also shows his intentions.
