Shen Yixiu noticed a hint of gloom between her husband's brows, "Mr. sir, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just not sure if there will be any changes. I reminded Master Qi and Master Qiao, but I don't know if they realized it, but Master Qiao should be..."
Feng Ziying shook her head.
Some things are beyond his control. He is thousands of miles away, and it will take some time for all the changes in the capital city to reach him. If he wants to react, he will always be slower.
Fortunately, Wang Wenyan returned to the capital, and he also allowed Wang Wenyan to visit Master Qi and Master Qiao directly when necessary.
The arrival of Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu with their children in their arms washed away that ray of worry.
Seeing the three legitimate sons starting to talk, Feng Ziying felt very happy.
When you start a family and start a business, you will have a family and heirs. Whether you have a career or not depends on how you put it. In the eyes of outsiders, you have reached the top, but to yourself, you are still on the way.
The wives and concubines all came to Liaoyang, which was really overwhelming for Feng Ziying for a while.
Master Zhang's secret techniques and prescriptions have been of great benefit to his body, but if he were to attack suddenly, he would not be able to withstand it. Master Zhang also specially reminded himself.
Fortunately, the three Shen, Xue and Lin have realized this, especially after they each had legitimate sons, they paid more attention to this aspect.
Although the rules for staying overnight are still as follows: 147, 258, 369, with rest on ten days, the three women also have a tacit understanding to restrain the concubines and maids in their respective rooms, which can also make Feng Ziying Breathe a little sigh of relief.
Sometimes it is really impossible to refuse. The nephrite is warm and fragrant, the beauty is in your arms, and you are quite affectionate. How can you refuse?
Qingwen, Yun Shang, and Jin Chuan'er are all pregnant, which can also make Feng Ziying breathe a sigh of relief.
Yun Shang is his most authentic personal maid and a direct descendant of the Feng family. She is finally pregnant and is now six months old. Qingwen is later, now four months old, and Jin Chuan'er is just pregnant.
The three maids became pregnant one after another, which also made Shen Xuelin and the other three women a little wary.
However, the three girls have all been maids who have been with the same house for many years, so it doesn't matter. If they were new girls within two years, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy.
"Tan Yatou has not had a good appetite these past two days, and her body has not been feeling well. If nothing else happens, she should be pregnant." Baochai came in with the child in her arms and said with a smile: "Just now, Sister Lin and I went to see it. Most likely, it will happen. After looking forward to it for several years, it finally happened."
Feng Ziying was also delighted, "Really?"
"Well, it shouldn't be bad." Baochai nodded, "I've already sent someone to ask the doctor, and the results will be available soon."
Having more children will really dampen the joy. However, Feng Ziying is still very happy because she is pregnant.
She is the latest among these sisters to get pregnant. Although she is only twenty-three or four years old, which is the best age to get pregnant, compared with other sisters, Tanchun is really worried.
If I get pregnant this time, my wish will finally come true.
"It's good to be pregnant. Well, I don't know whether the delivery will be in the capital city or in Liaodong." Feng Ziying sighed with emotion.
"Ah, sir, are you really going back to Beijing?" Baochai and Daiyu both raised their eyebrows in surprise.
"What, do you want to stay in Liaodong or go back to Beijing?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
"Well, how should I put it? We can just follow my husband wherever he goes. I was a little unaccustomed to coming to Liaodong before, but after staying there for a year, I think it's pretty good. Now that my husband has solved the Jurchen incident in Jianzhou, I'm sure It will be more leisurely, and you can also spend some time with us sisters, that would be the best, but if you go back to the capital, I'm afraid my husband will not be able to have peace again."
Daiyu also has mixed joys and sorrows, worrying about gains and losses.
Baochai, on the other hand, shook his head: "My husband will definitely be more comfortable here in Liaodong, but my husband will definitely have to shoulder a heavy responsibility when he goes back. Everyone knows my husband's temperament, and he will definitely be more willing to accept the challenge. Everything still depends on my husband's wishes. ."
challenge? Feng Ziying chewed on this word.
I'm afraid that I will really face challenges after I go back. Such challenges may come from all aspects, and even the internal ones will be more intense.
Although she is in Liaodong, Feng Ziying has never relaxed her understanding of the situation in Beijing. However, due to the distance, Liaodong always has to be slower. Often some things have already fermented and are only learned here.
Seeing her husband's serious expression, Shen Yixiu and Xue Baochai exchanged glances. Even Lin Daiyu noticed that her husband seemed to have something on his mind. She carefully picked up the child and patted it gently without disturbing her husband's thoughts.
News from King Zhongshun basically comes every month.
In the secret contact between him and Lu Song, he could always get some information from Long Jinwei and pass it on.
Now Lu Song maintains a very subtle impartiality, which makes Emperor Wan Tong seem to think that Lu Song is acceptable and will not be as defensive as before.
Judging from the news coming from King Zhongshun, Emperor Wan Tong naturally had an agenda for his hibernation. However, Emperor Wan Tong, who had suffered a loss, must now be much more cautious. Even Long Jinwei rarely grasped it. Something of value.
In other words, if there are no problems within the cabinet, Emperor Wan Tong will have no chance. But if the cabinet is split, or even evenly matched, then Emperor Wan Tong's weight will be quite heavy.
"Maybe, I am a person who naturally likes to accept challenges. If there is nothing difficult and others can do it, what's the point in doing it for me?" Feng Ziying shrugged, "After all, I have to do it in a way that is impressive and impressive. Looking sideways, I think it’s a success.”
**********
"Master, it's time to take medicine." Chang Sui said softly to the side.
Qi Yongtai sighed, his head still felt a little dizzy. How many times had this happened in a year? Is it the third time?
After taking the medicine soup, Qi Yongtai frowned and drank it all in one gulp. He handed the medicine bowl back to Chang Sui, then leaned on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
However, Changsui who left soon came back, "Sir, Master Qiao is here."
"Ask him to come in directly. I'll change some clothes." Qi Yongtai braced himself and sat up. A maid came in to change his clothes.
He had to make some preparations. If his body fell ill every three days, and the frequency became more and more frequent, but he still refused to resign, he was afraid that the outside world would continue to criticize him, and he was not unwilling to leave. People, but if you want to leave, you have to make proper arrangements.
But now there is a turmoil in the cabinet. The signs of incompatibility between Gu Bingqian and Li Sancai are becoming more and more obvious. Huang Ruliang is completely unable to suppress the old fox Tang Binyin. Gao Panlong, who has returned to his hometown for more than two years, actually returned to the capital and started to make trouble. .
Are Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe behind it?
Qi Yongtai was also a little annoyed.
Didn’t you agree a long time ago that you will work for a full term? Gu Bingqian is also a scholar from Jiangnan. Aren't they still satisfied?
There must be some reluctance in Ye Fang's appointment to the official position, but under the circumstances at that time, the northern scholars had not served as chief ministers for 20 years, and the division of the north and the south, the war in Hebei, and even the unfavorable situation in Liaodong, in fact, There are also many voices of dissatisfaction among the people, especially in the North. Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, who have more than ten years of service, have no reason not to become officials.
As for Ye Fang and the two still wanting to return, that is only human nature.
Having tasted the taste of power and suddenly letting it go, that uncomfortable feeling can really torture people to the point of going crazy.
Qi Yongtai also feels this very deeply. Even though he is often sick now, he still holds on to the power in his hands tightly and refuses to let go. Who is willing to hand over the power in his hands unless it is absolutely necessary?
But now that his body is really struggling, he has to think about longer-term things.
Qiao Yingjia arrived.
After first caring about Qi Yongtai's physical condition, the two got down to business.
"I'm afraid my body won't be able to support me until the end of the year. I plan to choose a suitable time in the middle of the year to retire and become an official, so as not to make the world's scholars laugh at my unwillingness to leave..." Qi Yongtai said calmly.
Qiao Yingjia had already known that Qi Yongtai had this plan, so he was not surprised and nodded: "Then Chengfeng, what are your plans?"
Qi Yongtai pondered for a moment, "Jinqing, Zhonghan, and Daofu are a bit old-fashioned and unwilling to give in. I'm worried that Liuji can't control the situation. What do you think?"
Qiao Yingjia also frowned in thought, "This is just one aspect. As far as I know, the emperor is also a little restless. There have been many small moves in the past six months. These are just what we have control over. There must be others that we don't have control over. Even Lu Song's Dragon Forbidden City Lieutenant’s side is also a little unclear,..."
Qi Yongtai was surprised, "Is there also a problem with Lieutenant Long?"
"It's hard to say. I originally thought that Lu Song and Emperor Wan Tong couldn't get along. After all, Emperor Wan Tong still has Gu Cheng at his disposal. If he really wants to take advantage of him, he will definitely have to step aside. No. It’s only right that he doesn’t understand this joint.”
Qiao Yingjia said hesitantly.
Theoretically, this should be the case, but many things are unexpected. Long Jinwei has been a royal eagle dog since the Jinyiwei era of the Ming Dynasty, and he cannot get along with civil servants. However, because of the sudden assassination of Emperor Yonglong, Emperor Wan Tong became a double threat to the cabinet. The one who chooses the prime minister lightly is to take advantage of his weakness to expand the prime minister's power.
This actually suppressed Long Jinwei's power. A smart person like Lu Song would not understand the reason.
Emperor Wan Tong also made a stupid move and used the old Long Jinwei commander Gu Cheng. Didn't this force Lu Song to move closer to the cabinet?
But if Emperor Wan Tong realizes this and changes his tune,
Where is Yi Zhe coming to win over Lu Song?
"Long Jinwei is just a news channel. Your Criminal Department and Shuntian Mansion also have them. In Beijing, they can't influence the overall situation." Qi Yongtai shook his head.
