Chapter 229: Concubine Zhen’s death, Infernal Affairs of the Wei Dynasty!

Style: Historical Author: Confused and helplessWords: 5072Update Time: 24/02/20 19:06:23
Mid-spring is supposed to be the beginning of life.

The Forbidden Palace was now filled with Xiaosha.

Because Emperor Jingshun's biological mother was the old concubine of the Zhen family.

Died.

At this time, Zheng Ling was in the inner palace.

After twenty-one days, the spirit will be invited to enter the ancestral mausoleum.

Emperor Jingshun of the Great Wei Dynasty issued an edict to the world:

All those who have received imperial decrees and so on will enter the imperial court and follow the class and observe the nobility system.

No music banquet can be postponed for one year in any house with a noble family.

Common people are not allowed to get married within three months.

Although she could not call her mother during her lifetime, Emperor Jingshun paid her enough honors after her death.

All etiquettes are in accordance with the national funeral arrangements.

As soon as this incident came out, the government and the public were shocked.

Since then, half of the backers of the founding heroes have fallen.

The remaining half still has its power.

But he has long been living in seclusion.

The Supreme Emperor was raised in the East Palace, and there was no movement for more than a year.

Such a situation inevitably made the founding fathers panic.

Fortunately, although the old concubine is gone, she still has the thought of the virtuous concubine of Jia Mansion in Rongguo.

If Yuanchun sends a dragon son down, they can feel confident and bold.

It can maintain its glory for at least two generations.

And with someone to support them, they can continue to work together as a team.

Otherwise, it will inevitably fall apart and each will find a new backer.

For a time, wherever the people from Rong Mansion went, they were like stars holding the moon.

The founders of the country, headed by the Prince of Beijing County, surrounded the people of Rongfu during the period of defense.

Princess Beijing, the second daughter of the Zhen family.

He is always with Mrs. Shi, for fear that others will not know about the good relationship between the two families.

Mrs. Zhen's wife came to Duzhong this time, and she also brought her three girls with her.

Obviously he wanted to make one last effort.

It's a pity that even though she begged repeatedly, the old concubine of the Zhen family still kept her promise to the emperor.

After sending Yuan Chun to the position of imperial concubine, she would never speak for the Zhen family again.

This is not only to leave the last trace of dignity, but also to hope that Emperor Jingshun can take into account the last bit of affection.

To avoid extermination of the Zhen family in the future.

Unfortunately, the Zhen family didn't know the old concubine's painstaking efforts.

In her last days, she never stopped asking for help.

It lasted until Prince Zhongshun discovered him and kicked him out several times, and finally finally stopped.

Later, Mrs. Zhen's wife went to Jia Mansion to pay homage to the mountain.

The eldest daughter of the family was favored by the concubine of the Zhen family, so she became the concubine she is today.

Naturally, the Jia Mansion in Rongguo received the old concubine’s family with the highest standards.

She is also an old relative of the Jia family and the wife of the Zhen family.

The Ning and Rong mansions have long been squeezed out of the center of power, and are no longer the core of the founding heroes.

Although he has never stopped visiting with relatives from various families, he rarely brings the two houses together for gatherings with the founding fathers, except for weddings and funerals.

Because of this, the Jia family was not aware of the Zhen family's imminent danger.

Now that the old concubine is dead again, in the future, in addition to the in-laws of the Prince of Beijing, there will also be a family with extremely low sensitivity like the Jia family.

I'm afraid that few people will dare to walk around with the Zhen family anymore.

Feng Yibo has a title. In addition to his normal official duties, he also has to follow the rules every day.

However, he was alone at the end of the group.

Anyone who comes over can say a few words, but there is still no sign of taking sides.

This situation also made both the old and new nobles slightly relieved.

Barely maintaining a delicate balance.

Li Mengshi and Baochai had official orders, so they went to the court early every day to offer sacrifices.

You can't return to the mansion until late every day, that is, around two o'clock in the afternoon.

In a blink of an eye, twenty-one days have arrived.

Prince Zhongshun, his younger brother, represented the emperor and sent it together with a group of distinguished relatives and nobles.

The mausoleum is located in Xiaoci County, and it is estimated that it takes about ten days to travel from the capital.

And once you get there, you have to park it for several days before entering the underground palace.

Therefore, every time you come and go, you will get a full moon view.

A minister with actual duties like Feng Yibo cannot leave the court for a long time.

So I didn't follow him.

On the day of sending, he only followed the team to send it ten miles away from the capital.

On the contrary, Li Mengshi and Baochai followed along with the imperial edict from Rongning Second Mansion.

After watching the funeral procession disappear, Feng Yibo turned his horse's head and wanted to return to the capital.

At this time, a horse suddenly jumped out from the side.

is blocking his way.

As soon as Feng Yibo looked at the person, his thoughts went crazy.

Then he said hello with a smile and said:

"Why didn't Brother Ziying follow?"

The person who came was none other than Feng Ziying.

He has neither a real position nor a title.

But Feng Ziying is the heir of Shenwu General Feng Tang, and there is a choice between going or not.

But with his usually good-tempered temperament, such a thing must be followed.

Appearing here at this time is definitely not a coincidence.

I think it's because I have something to do with myself, or to give someone a message.

Sure enough, Feng Ziying cupped her hands, pointed not far away with a smile, and said:

"I'm here to find you. I wonder if I can move over there."

Others have left one after another and returned to the capital in small groups.

The two of them left the group and dismounted at Shiliting.

There was no one else around. As soon as he entered the pavilion, Feng Ziying asked directly:

"Yibo, you have been reinstated, why hasn't Donghai County stopped?"

It turns out that more than a month ago, after the founding fathers pushed Feng Yibo up, they were waiting for Donghai County to return to its original state.

Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, more than a month passed.

Their people have gone back and forth twice.

But Donghai County still hasn't lifted the restrictions on them.

The worst thing is that some merchants have begun to quietly join the new elite.

This made the founding fathers, especially those most closely involved with the sea, jump with anger.

Even Feng Ziying, who had come up with the idea in the first place, was angered.

He said that he, Feng Yibo, and the newly promoted nobles were all in cahoots.

These days, Feng Ziying has been criticized a lot.

Naturally, I will no longer feel uncomfortable following the past.

Of course, it was the Prince of Beijing County who greeted him when he stayed.

He said he wanted to find Feng Yibo to find out.

Unfortunately, he asked directly, but Feng Yibo didn't answer.

"What Donghai County? Why don't you take action?"

Feng Yibo just pretended to be dumbfounded, spread his hands and said:

"Brother Ziying looks like he's asking for help, but what exactly are you talking about?"

Seeing that he insisted on pretending to be stupid, Feng Ziying felt a little numb.

"Yibo, we have targeted you, but we have also eliminated a hidden danger for you. Otherwise, if someone makes a fuss about this in the future, it will not be so easy to revive it, right?"

I don’t know if he is deliberately irritating or if he really thinks so.

But no matter what, Feng Yibo felt a little incredible when he heard Feng Ziying's words.

"That's what I said. Those who don't know think you are really doing good for me!"

Originally, he wanted to pretend to be stupid, but after hearing such an argument, Feng Yibo couldn't help but laugh and asked:

"Cut me first, heal the wound, and then tell me you want to remove the thorn from me?"

Maybe it's because I've been too busy lately, or maybe I've been estranged from Feng Yibo for a long time.

In short, Feng Ziying seems to be no longer as free and easy as before today.

Hearing Feng Yibo's sarcastic words, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly:

"If Donghai County doesn't stop, it will really push those people into panic. They can't deal with Donghai County, and they can't deal with you?"

The threat in the words is really obvious.

After hearing some harsh words, Feng Yibo showed disdain and said:

"Brother Ziying, I don't know who those people you are talking about are, but please tell them."

Having said this, he paused, took a few steps forward, and then said quietly:

"Even if the wound heals, it still leaves a scar."

Feng Ziying was obviously a little surprised when she heard this.

"Do you really want to fall out with them?"

Although he knew that after what happened at Tienwang Mountain last time, he and Feng Yibo had already had a rift.

But Feng Ziying didn't seem to have thought that he would really fall out.

"Falling out? I was in the middle of it from the beginning to the end. I didn't even take a step."

When Feng Yibo heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he said again:

"From the beginning to the end, it was all directed and performed by you. If you ask me to do it, I will do it. If you let me go, I will do it. Why did I turn my back on you?"

He had some doubts in his heart, and he always felt that Feng Ziying had changed.

But for a while, I couldn’t tell what had changed.

Furious?

"Yibo~!"

Feng Ziying frowned and whispered, then said anxiously:

"This is not what you think. They are concerned about Donghai County and are not targeting you intentionally."

What this says, why does it feel like...

Feng Yibo was even more confused, but still replied:

"I'm thinking about Donghai County. Nothing happened in Donghai County. It didn't target me and forced me to resign."

Speaking of this, Feng Yibo felt a little enlightened.

He knew something was wrong!

Today's Feng Ziying, from beginning to end, didn't seem to be here to convince him.

On the contrary, it seemed as if he was deliberately irritating him.

But this made him even more confused!

Feng Yibo's heart was electrified and he said:

"Brother Ziying, I still say the same thing, I am not familiar with Donghai County."

Feng Ziying seemed a little angry when she heard this.

He looked straight at Feng Yibo and said after a long while:

"Just tell me what you want before you give up!"

Instead of irritating him this time, let him make demands?

"I didn't take any action, so what else could I do?"

Feng Yibo didn't want to understand, so he could only continue to pretend to be stupid and said:

"If you have that skill, it's better to find a solution wherever you get frustrated."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ziying immediately said angrily:

"If Donghai County ignores them, where will they find you?"

Feng Yibo's mind went "boom".

A flash of lightning flashed across my mind, and I figured out a lot of things in an instant.

This lightning is what Feng Ziying said...

"them"!

From the beginning to the end, Feng Ziying’s reference to the founding heroes was “them”!

It stands to reason that he is also one of the founders of the country.

Feng Ziying should use "we"!

But today he was not only uncharacteristic of himself, but also said things that easily angered him.

And three times in a row, I used "they"!

What does this mean?

This shows that Feng Ziying did not really come to persuade him, but instead came to arouse his disgust.

If Feng Yibo is angered by him, he will completely break with the founding fathers.

Who benefits from the outcome?

Undoubtedly, he is an upstart!

Feng Ziying usually hangs around the founding heroes, and even fights Qiu Peng to the death.

Is it all a deception?

The Wei version of Infernal Affairs?

Discovering this possibility, Feng Yibo did not show it.

He still followed the tone just now and replied:

"It turns out that Donghai County was unable to get through, so it pushed me up again. You want me to talk to Donghai County, right?"

Feng Ziying looked at him angrily but said nothing.

Is this the default statement?

"If you don't speak, that's what it means."

Feng Yibo said with a smile, and then said:

"You just show your attitude when you ask me to mediate, and you push me down and pull me up again just to make me feel grateful?"

Having said this, he looked at Feng Ziying with a smile and said:

"Brother Ziying, you don't do things like this, right?"

Feng Yibo originally just wanted to delay it for a while, just to vent his anger.

At the same time, he also sells favors to the newly promoted nobles.

But Feng Ziying's performance gave him new ideas.

If Feng Ziying is really a newly promoted person, then he may not be able to take advantage of her.

Sure enough, Feng Ziying heard that Feng Yibo wanted to make conditions and asked directly:

"what do you want?"

This is because I want to impose conditions on myself.

With the previous foreshadowing, the conditions I set must be extremely harsh.

Thinking of this, Feng Yibo became more convinced.

But he was not in a hurry to put forward conditions, but said with a smile:

"I want nothing."

Feng Ziying was stunned when she heard this, and then said angrily:

"you!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say."

Seeing Feng Ziying's performance, Feng Yibo felt that the test was almost over.

Obviously, this anger was an act, and his stunned reaction was his original reaction.

"I don't want anything. My mentor has been the Minister of Rites for more than two years. I think he should be able to join the cabinet."

Having said this, he looked at Feng Ziying with a half-smile and said again:

"What do you think?"

Feng Yibo seemed casual, but his eyes were fixed on him.

Feng Ziying's every move was in his eyes.

Upon hearing her condition, Feng Ziying relaxed slightly unnoticeably.

Then, he immediately became tense again and said bitterly:

"I can't decide this."

This play isn’t very good either!

How on earth did you stay undercover for so long without being discovered?

Feng Ziying's performance made Feng Yibo want to laugh.

Although the performance was average, I had to continue singing with him.

"Whatever we can't decide is between us brothers. If we just say something casually, Ziying won't take it seriously, right?"

Feng Yibo said with a smile and then said:

"It's true that I was rude. How can the four cabinet ministers talk behind their backs?"

After saying that, he left the pavilion, turned around suddenly, and asked:

"right?"

The moment he turned around, he saw Feng Ziying relaxed all over.

Hearing his voice, he immediately tensed up.

Feng Yibo smiled slightly, then got on his horse and left without looking back without waiting for Feng Ziying's response.

"That's what he said?"

The funeral procession was very slow, and Feng Ziying quickly caught up with it.

When Feng Yibo's request was mentioned, the Prince of Beijing County frowned immediately.

Then he paced back and forth irritably.

After pondering for a long time, he murmured again:

"Chen Qinzhi began to retire very early, but the Holy Father has been trying hard to retain him. If this can be facilitated, it will be a matter of course for Li Shouzhong to join the cabinet."

Chen Qinzhi, like Zhang Songyue, was once the teacher of Emperor Jingshun.

As soon as Emperor Jingshun ascended to power, he published "Ten Things to Begin".

Among them, issues such as determination, loving the people, advocating thrift, employing people, taking over, listening to instructions, etc. are all based on the actual situation.

After that, he continued to write memorials, all of which were aimed at the shortcomings of the DPRK and China.

These suggestions are not only very targeted, but also meaningful.

Unfortunately, Emperor Jingshun tried it but found it difficult to implement.

Soon after, the party struggle between North Korea and China began to take shape.

Chen Qinzhi knew that this was Emperor Jingshun's way of seizing power, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Gradually, Zhang Songyue was the only voice left in the cabinet.

But the Prince of Beijing County knew that Chen Qinzhi's status in Emperor Jingshun's heart was no less important than Zhang Songyue's.

Emperor Jingshun retained Chen Qinzhi largely because of his intention to reform.

But obviously, the time has not come yet.

Chen Qinzhi must also understand what this opportunity is, but he is not optimistic that he can wait until it.

Therefore, he went to Shu many times to plead for retirement.

Except for the first few times, he has not done anything else.

Therefore not many people care about him.

But the Prince of Beijing County knew that among the four members of the cabinet.

Although he is second best, he is a figure that cannot be ignored!

"Does Feng Yuan just want us not to stop him, or does he want us to help him now?"
