Everyone was surprised when they heard Feng Ziying's words.
One person was the first to speak up, with a look of astonishment on his face:
"Ziying, what are you talking about?"
Before Feng Ziying could respond, someone else said angrily:
"As soon as the other party makes a move, you tell us to bow our heads?"
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
Obviously everyone feels that this proposal is open to discussion.
Seeing this, Feng Ziying looked at King Beijing first.
Seeing him, he said nothing and could only explain:
"It's not about bowing your head, it's about taking a long-term view."
Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly and then said:
"If we drag it on any longer, we will inevitably be taken advantage of by those upstarts who are eyeing us!"
Feng Ziying did not support the impeachment of Feng Yibo.
But his relationship with Feng Yibo is well known to everyone.
In addition, he is quiet and soft-spoken.
Therefore, no one took his objection seriously at the time.
The same is true for his proposal now, and most people are a little disdainful.
As soon as Feng Ziying said this, many people present couldn't help but think about it.
yes! The caravan attached to their name is already ready to move, and it is impossible for the new rich to fail to take action.
The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation first.
"If that's the case, I won't be taken advantage of."
Just as everyone was deep in thought, the strange man from Yin Yang spoke up again and said:
"But we went through a lot of trouble to squeeze Feng Yuan away, and now we let him come up as he pleases. If it ends in such an anticlimactic manner, won't it make those country bumpkins laugh to death?"
This time everyone showed hesitation, but no one agreed with him.
He is a noble man in the capital and has no business at sea.
Naturally, I take care of my own face, and I don’t feel pain in my back when I stand and talk.
But if this is the case, others will feel pain!
Feng Ziying narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the man, and said:
"I can't see it, but I'm not sure about it. So what should I do?"
"I……"
The man didn't care how to deal with it, he just didn't want to lose face.
Now that Feng Ziying was asked this question, she suddenly became speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"I think it's better to bypass Donghai County and go to Jiaozhi."
Thinking of what everyone said just now, he added:
"You said you are not sure about attacking Donghai County. Are you still unable to suppress the smallest countries?"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and obviously many people thought it was feasible.
The Wei Dynasty had a vast territory, and the surrounding countries were all nominal vassals.
If he breaks through forcefully, no one should dare to challenge him lightly!
When Feng Ziying heard this, she looked disdainful and looked at him sideways:
"If you start provocations, aren't you giving a knife to the new rich?"
All the nobles suddenly looked sad again.
Many people have thought of this just now, but they feel that at most Jiaozhi and Guangdong were impeached, and it has nothing to do with them.
That's why no one said anything.
At this time, the people from the Nan'an Palace looked at him angrily, and the man suddenly knew that he had said the wrong thing.
But he was still not angry and immediately responded:
"I heard that you and Prince Zhongshun were also moving around. Could it be..."
If the problem cannot be solved, solve the person who raised the problem.
Obviously, he couldn't defeat Feng Ziying, so he directly started attacking her personally.
Seeing him getting angry from embarrassment, King Beijing frowned slightly.
He raised his hand gently and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, Ziying is right. If others have other methods, you can tell them so that everyone can take a look."
He was dissatisfied, but still maintained an elegant look on his face, and said:
"No matter whether it's good or bad, let's talk it out together. Don't be mean to anyone or ruin the relationship between us old relatives."
This time the voice was still gentle, but there was a hint of warning at the end.
When the man heard this, he shrank back a little and stopped making any sound.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, King Beijing said again:
"If you don't have any other ideas, just do what Ziying says first."
Having said this, he scanned the audience and finally sighed:
"The top priority is not to let those upstarts take advantage of us, and we will consider the rest in the long term."
Everyone sighed after hearing this.
But no one objected.
After all, when the benefits are sufficient, face is not worth mentioning.
Most of the founding heroes were Jiangnan nobles, and many of them had caravans operating overseas.
Moreover, they would not deal with Feng Yibo if it were not for the huge benefits at sea.
Since last time it was for profit and regardless of face.
Pull down Feng Yibo, who is relatively close to him.
Now, for the sake of profit, it might as well push him back.
We will not mention the specific details of the discussion between the founding fathers and the founding fathers here.
It's just that an unexpected but reasonable guest came to the Feng Mansion.
"What kind of wind brings Brother Wanli here?"
The person who came was none other than the son of Qiu Luan, the newly promoted military officer of Xuanda.
Qiu Peng, who had met Feng Yibo several times.
After receiving his post, Feng Yibo personally greeted him.
"Captain Feng, you're welcome and safe!"
Qiu Peng clasped his fists and said with a smile:
"You have given me so many years of gifts, I should have come to visit you a long time ago."
Because Qiu Peng had helped him before, when giving New Year's gifts, Feng Yibo did give one to Qiu Peng according to the standards given to Jia Lian.
But Feng Yibo naturally didn't believe that he came here just for this reason. When he heard it, he knew it was just a random excuse.
At that moment, he waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile:
"There are no words to describe the kindness of a helping hand, just a few words to express my gratitude."
Although Qiu Peng is a rough man, he is used to welcoming people and sending them off after all.
After hearing Feng Yibo's words, he also said pleasantly:
"I've wanted to come and visit for a long time, but I'm afraid that there will be too many people during the Chinese New Year, and I'm afraid that I might cause trouble to Captain Feng, so I'll come as soon as the festival is over."
Having said this, he looked at Feng Yibo and said with a smile:
"Captain Feng won't welcome you, right?"
During the Chinese New Year period, Feng Mansion holds New Year wine every day.
All those who came were civil servants and old relatives.
Among them, there are naturally many old relatives who were among the founding heroes.
Obviously, Qiu Peng, a new upstart, couldn't be with them.
To avoid embarrassment to all three parties.
Feng Yibo heard this and said with a smile:
"How dare you! Come on, let's go in and talk."
Qiu Peng is also knowledgeable and has never been to the imperial palace.
But looking at the atmosphere of Feng Mansion along the way, I couldn't help but praise:
"Your courtyard is very lavish. Except for the lower regulations, its grandeur is no less than that of the royal palace."
The money spent by the Feng family was not only in the garden, but also in the front yard, which was built with vermilion tiles and jade and was of extraordinary style.
Originally, Feng Yibo should be happy when he heard people praise him.
But the word "Prince's Mansion" made him think too much.
I don’t know if Qiu Peng mentioned it on purpose.
But judging from his straightforward appearance, it didn't look like he meant anything.
Feng Yibo's thoughts were racing and he could only say politely:
“To build this house, I put all my family’s money on it.”
Qiu Peng smiled when he heard this and said carelessly:
"Yes, Captain Feng is so lucky. If he wants to marry a wife of two wives, he must first build a house."
Originally, Qiu Peng didn't know about Feng Yibo.
Only after returning from Tienwang Mountain did he know his identity.
I heard that like his father, he was a captain of a light carriage.
He was also given the royal gift of two bedrooms and a temple.
Which one would not be admired?
Judging from Qiu Peng's current expression, the mention of "Prince's Mansion" just now must have been unintentional?
Feng Yibo was a little unsure of the opponent's pulse, so he could only continue to say politely:
"Have a laugh."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Peng waved his hand and said seriously:
"What are you laughing at? It's too late for me to envy you."
The two of them chatted all the way and soon arrived at the main hall.
After the guests and hosts were seated, a servant immediately served tea.
Feng Yibo dismissed all his servants and said directly:
"Brother Wan Li is here today, isn't he just to thank me for my New Year's gift?"
When Qiu Peng heard this, he didn't hide it at all and said with a smile:
"I can't hide it from Captain Feng. We do have some other matters to discuss."
Feng Yibo already had some vague guesses in his mind and said:
"Brother Wan Li has given me a helping hand. No matter what happens, it doesn't hurt to just tell him."
No matter whether what the other party said was what he thought, Feng Yibo was ready to agree because of his previous help.
"Captain Feng is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with you."
Anyone who knows how to repay kindness should take a high look at him.
After listening to Feng Yibo's words, Qiu Peng felt naturally at ease.
He was not polite at the moment and said directly:
"I am here to be entrusted by someone. I hope Captain Feng can make Donghai County's revenge last longer."
Qiu Peng's directness was somewhat beyond Feng Yibo's expectations.
I thought it would take a long time to litigate, but I didn't expect him to speak out so openly.
But thinking about his previous character, it felt reasonable.
At the moment, Feng Yibo was thinking about how to deal with it.
The other party was straight forward, but he could only say haha and said:
"Oh? How can I, an honorable minister who is idle at home, care about things thousands of miles away?"
Qiu Peng was not angry when he heard this. He looked indifferent and said:
"I don't know about this. I've told them what they mean. As for whether it's okay or not, just let me know when you think about it."
Every sentence was so direct that Feng Yibo still had a hard time accepting it.
He could only smile bitterly, no longer beating around the bush, and asked directly:
"Brother Wanli, can you tell me who asked you to come to me?"
"Upstart."
Qiu Peng gently uttered two words, but did not say who it was.
However, he added:
"My father is not in the capital. They take good care of me. Besides, I have long wanted to come to your place to see you, so I came here."
Feng Yibo felt the other party's frankness and sighed:
"Brother Wan Li is still so direct."
Obviously, although Qiu Peng was direct, he was limited to what he should say.
There wasn't a word I shouldn't have said.
In this way, the palace he mentioned when he entered the hospital...
Seeing Feng Yibo silent, Qiu Peng raised his eyebrows again and said:
"It's okay, just think about it slowly and tell me when you think about it."
Feng Yibo picked up the tea cup and took a sip before saying:
"Brother Wan Li took action personally. I will definitely give him this face, but you have to do whatever you want to do quickly."
After a pause, he added:
"Because the other party may not be able to hold on for long."
"oh?"
Qiu Peng was stunned.
Although he has always looked down upon those who were the founding fathers of the country, he also knows that they have intricate roots and deep roots.
The fight between the two sides has never stopped, but the new rich rarely take advantage of it.
If Emperor Jingshun hadn't favored them intentionally or unintentionally, those founding nobles would have wiped out the new rich.
"To be honest, brother Wanli, they kicked me home, so I naturally wanted to let them know how powerful I am."
This matter couldn't be hidden, and Feng Yibo didn't want to hide it either.
But he certainly won't admit it easily.
But today in front of Qiu Peng, he had to speak clearly.
In order to prevent this straight-tempered brother from conveying the message properly.
If you ask me afterwards, he won't admit it.
"But if they invite me back, I can't go too far. At most, I can postpone it for a while and I can't really fall out."
After a pause, Feng Yibo added:
"After all, it is the Jia family's face."
His main purpose is to let these people know that he is not easy to mess with.
I will have to use them to facilitate myself in the future.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
As long as he establishes his authority once, no one will dare to provoke him easily again.
At the same time, Donghai County can also develop stably.
Feng Yibo's goal was achieved.
"whispering sound!"
When he heard about Jia Mansion, Qiu Peng was a little dismissive and said:
"Are those losers from Ning Rong's Second Mansion worthy of your respect?"
Feng Yibo was stunned.
Although the Jia Mansion is just a cover, it is also a reasonable cover.
After hearing Qiu Peng's words, he couldn't help but wonder:
"Not to mention that my mentor and the Rong family are in-laws. Brother Wan Li just said that he envied my two wives. Don't you know that my two wives are nieces of the Jia family?"
Most of his relationships with the Jia family are on the Rong family side.
There are very few people in the capital who don’t know.
"If you don't mention it, I've forgotten about it."
Qiu Peng scratched his nose in embarrassment and said strangely:
"But why don't they respect your relatives and impeach you?"
If someone else said this, it would be provocative.
But with Qiu Peng's straightforward character, it doesn't make people think too much.
Feng Yibo smiled when he heard this and said directly:
"Because I don't want to take sides."
This is no longer a hint, but a pure statement.
Even a fool can convey the complete meaning back.
Sure enough, even Qiu Peng was naive, but he understood.
He nodded and said:
"Is this also meant for us?"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Feng Yibo to respond.
He looked indifferent again, nodded and said:
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely bring you."
"Thank you so much, brother Wan Li."
Seeing that he understood what he meant, Feng Yibo immediately handed over his hands and said again:
"I've asked people to prepare a banquet. Let's go have a few drinks!"
Qiu Peng's eyes lit up when he heard this and he smiled:
"Just in time to see how good you are at drinking!"
Just as the old and new nobles were secretly competing against each other, people from the Zhen family in Jiangnan also came to the capital according to the order.
The group set off in a hurry, and when they arrived at the capital, the old lady was already bedridden.
So he only sent some women to follow him to deliver gifts and greetings to each house.
At the same time, there was also a memorial.
Prince Zhongshun, who was guarding the old concubine, handed it directly to Emperor Jingshun.
"At this time, the Zhen family still has the intention to impeach Feng Yuan?"
Emperor Jingshun looked at the memorial and looked puzzled.
He thought that the old concubine was seriously ill and the Zhen family should know that she was in danger.
Unexpectedly, someone came to visit the old concubine and did not want to think about how to solve the problem.
Still thinking about impeaching Feng Yuan?
Moreover, this was after Feng Yuan had already won the title.
Isn't this "wearing a hat and an umbrella" unnecessary?
"It is said that he is deeply involved with Donghai County and colluded with him a long time ago."
Emperor Jingshun didn't know how to describe it. He looked at Prince Zhongshun and asked:
"How can he talk about such an obvious thing?"
Prince Zhongshun also looked helpless when he heard this and sighed:
"If Feng Yuan has nothing to do with Donghai County, can the King of Donghai County listen to his offer of land and surrender?"
The two brothers are not stupid, so they will not easily believe Feng Yibo's lies about sympathizing with each other.
However, the result was right and they didn’t want to investigate the process.
"It's really nothing to cause trouble. These founding figures have already impeached Feng Yuan and thrown him out of office. Isn't it over yet?"
Emperor Jingshun threw the memorial aside, shook his head, and said:
"Zhen Yingjia also said that Feng Yuan colluded with the King of Donghai County to plunder all his fleet."
Prince Zhongshun frowned and asked:
"Do they have evidence?"
"What evidence is there? It's all speculation!"
Emperor Jingshun said angrily, and then said to Prince Zhongshun:
"Go tell the Zhen family and find a more reliable reason. Don't focus on impeaching someone who resigned."
After a pause, he added with a sneer:
"Also, if you think you can drag it out like this, just wait until your house is ransacked!"
Prince Zhongshun also showed a hint of ferocity, as if the net that had been left open for a long time was about to be closed.
"Yes! I'm going right now!"
"etc!"
Just as Prince Zhongshun was about to leave, Emperor Jingshun stopped him again.
He seemed to have suppressed his anger and said again:
"It's better to forget it first, lest it spread to the old lady's ears and affect her condition."
Thinking of the old concubine's condition, Emperor Jingshun was obviously a little agitated.
"Wait a little longer and let the old concubine be clean for a while."
After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Prince Zhongshun to step back.
At this moment, someone from the palace reported:
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial sent by someone from the cabinet."
Emperor Jingshun glanced at Xia Bingzhong beside him, and he immediately preached:
"Send it in."
The two little eunuchs each held a pile and placed it on the royal eucalyptus.
so much?
Emperor Jingshun felt a little strange.
He has already reviewed a lot today, why are there still so many?
Did something happen?
Thinking of this, he quickly started reading.
But the more I looked, the more surprised I became, and at the same time, the faster I looked.
There are dozens of memorials in succession, except for the first few, which I have only briefly read.
I glanced at it twice and put it down.
After reading everything, Emperor Jingshun frowned and said doubtfully:
"What the hell are these people doing?"
There are dozens of memorials, but the contents are quite different.
They all recommend Feng Yuan!
