If you want to quickly solve the problem of Jiaozhi, you can't avoid Donghai County.
If you want to ensure that Donghai County sends troops, you cannot avoid Feng Yibo.
Over the years, I don’t know how many people have tried to contact the King of Donghai County in the hope of expanding overseas business and ensuring safety at sea.
Even Princess Nan'an went out in person, but she only met the Black Dragon Po.
Originally, after a spring trip, Nan'an Palace had the opportunity to cooperate in depth with Donghai County.
Unfortunately, before the seeds could bear fruit, disaster struck in Cochin.
The entire Nan'an Palace is gone.
As for the others, they couldn't even enter the Black Dragon Mansion. At most, the Black Dog King under the Prince of Donghai County would receive them on their behalf.
And this black dog king is a real dog.
He only cares about normal business and doesn't care about anything else.
No matter how many gifts you give, it's just like a meat bun beating a dog, and it never gets done.
As for the other general who is in charge of the army and public security, unless he commits a major crime, you will never see him.
Many people who have business at sea find it difficult to describe these two people...
As for the King of Donghai County, they have never even met him, let alone asked Donghai County to send troops.
Therefore, compared to Liu Zhao, who may have some connections with Donghai County, Feng Yibo is the best candidate.
However, this is from the standpoint of Wei.
For the founding people, only by transferring Liu Zhao could they take the opportunity to make a difference in the Beijing camp.
Without the emperor's trust, it was impossible to monopolize the capital.
But as long as it is done properly, there is still a way to evade Liu Zhao who has no foundation.
The founding family has been in Jingying for many generations. Even if Liu Zhao had some cleansing behind Feng Yibo, the connections left behind would be enough for them to drink from.
As for Feng Yibo's invitation to go to sea, it was dispensable to them, but they could not refute it.
After all, everyone thought that the real boss behind the scenes was Chen Qinzhi, who had appeared on "Ten Things to Begin"!
And Feng Yibo, a small cabinet boss, is nothing more than a supporter of the New Deal.
So this time Feng Yibo took the initiative to ask for help. Although it was unexpected, few civil and military officials in the court wanted to stop him.
They are either eager to resolve the issue in southern Xinjiang, or they surrender to Feng Yibo's power, or they have nothing to do with themselves and just sit back and watch the situation.
Li Shouzhong only opened his mouth a few times, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, looking at his apprentice's firm eyes and thinking of Xiao Feng Can, he finally just sighed and didn't say anything to stop him.
Chen Qinyi frowned at first, but after thinking about it again and again, he felt that this was the fastest way to solve the Jiaozhi problem.
In the end, he could only sigh.
So under Feng Yibo's repeated insistence and the acquiescence of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Yuanchun had no choice but to compromise.
"Teacher, actually I..."
After attending court here, Feng Yibo was called to the study by Li Shouzhong before arriving at the mansion.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shouzhong raised his hand and interrupted:
"No need to say it, I know what you mean."
After speaking, he sighed lightly and continued:
"Yibo, you are just afraid that Wang Ziteng will also lose, or barely win, but suffer heavy losses, which will implicate us. And you have the help of Donghai County Prince in the south. As long as you successfully recapture Jiaozhi, even if the north is defeated, it will not matter. What can anyone say?"
What Li Shouzhong said is in line with most people's guesses.
The discerning person among the officials will more or less have such an association after being surprised at the beginning.
However, the reason why Feng Yibo took the initiative to ask for help did have this part of the reason.
But speaking from the heart, the proportion is not large.
However, when faced with his mentor's misunderstanding, he did not explain anything and just remained silent.
When Li Shouzhong saw that he was silent, he naturally thought that he had acquiesced, and suddenly said with a feeling of hatred that iron cannot become steel:
"But have you ever thought about it, you just now
When he was in his twenties, he was already an educated scholar and a marquis. He had the trust of the Queen Mother inside and the support of countless court officials outside. It was only a matter of time before he joined the cabinet! "
The implication is that all Feng Yibo has to do now is just one word.
wait.
As long as he waits, Feng Yibo will be able to become the Minister of Rites when he is about thirty years old.
Before the age of forty, joining the cabinet was almost a matter of choice.
If you join the cabinet at this age, as long as you don't make big mistakes, you can survive and become the chief minister of the cabinet.
This is simply unimaginable to all the officials in the DPRK.
No matter who has such an opportunity, they will be careful not to make any mistakes.
But Feng Yibo is always unexpected.
Regardless of whether it was civil or military affairs, he would always have a hand in whatever he could do.
Not to mention the promotion of new learning, there is also the killing of rebel leaders in the palace.
It is only said that the expedition to Japan and the recent Tan Ding Ru Mu all have Feng Yibo running around in them.
Now, he has taken over the affairs of Jiaozhi again.
How could this make Li Shouzhong not worry about this apprentice?
But he also knew that the outcome could not be changed now.
In addition to venting his emotions, he also just wanted Feng Yibo to clarify the stakes and be a little alert.
Lest he regard himself as an omnipotent minister and develop the habit of doing everything by himself.
After being alerted, Li Shouzhong's tone became a little softer and said:
"Actually, you should know that even if things go to the worst direction, you are just a person of recommendation. At most, the emperor will wait until then to ask someone who knows someone who is not familiar with the crime. With the Queen Mother's trust in you and our acquiescence, In the end it will just be nothing."
Li Shouzhong was inevitably a little excited that Feng Yibo was going to the front line to lead troops again.
Ever since Prince Zhongshun's incident, he had put Feng Yibo's safety above his own, not wanting this apprentice to be in any danger.
But at the same time, he also wanted to do something for the country and the people when he came to Duzhong.
He naturally supports his apprentice's choice from the bottom of his heart.
It was such contradictory thoughts that made him so entangled today.
"Even if someone criticizes you for this, the Queen Mother cannot resist the pressure and has to punish you, but it is not a bad thing for you."
Of course Feng Yibo knew that even if Yuanchun punished him, it would only be a fine of several years!
For him, this is basically no different from three drinks as a penalty.
But he still didn't explain anything and let Li Shouzhong lecture him.
"You have gone through several wars before, and I understand that it was all a helpless move, and it was also the first step in your career. But now that you have a harmonious wife and concubine, two children, and a generous salary, you can only wait for His Majesty to become an adult, and you can also take the opportunity to enter the cabinet. Take it easy, the most important thing today is stability, just leave the rest to others, but you still have to risk your life!"
Civilization and military affairs have different paths, which is the view of the civil servants in the DPRK and China.
This is also Li Shouzhong’s view.
In his view, civil servants and military officers each perform their duties.
What's more, Feng Yibo, as his disciple, is almost like a son.
With a good background, he is the seed of the cabinet, and countless people will work for him at any time.
There is really no need to charge forward.
but……
"My teacher respects your choice, and there isn't much I can do. No matter what, you can rest assured on Brother Can's side."
Obviously, this is what Li Shouzhong wanted to say.
Now that Feng Yibo had a choice, as a mentor, he also respected his apprentice's choice. The last thing he could do was to let his apprentice have no worries.
As for the rest, nothing can be said.
Feng Yibo knew that if something happened to him, Li Shouzhong would save his family even if he risked his life.
At the moment, he said with some emotion:
"What I am today is all due to the teachings of my mentor. When I was in Jinling, my mentor taught me that "virtue is not worthy of its place, but you will suffer the consequences." Now, although my disciple has achieved success and fame, he has achieved great success.
My mentor and wife were kind, I was accompanied by a lovely wife and beautiful concubines, and I was surrounded by children. My career was going smoothly. But it was precisely because of my mentor’s teachings that I never forgot my original intention of studying for the imperial examination, and I am still the same person. "
Hearing these words, Li Shouzhong couldn't help but be moved.
He recalled that uneventful afternoon.
That day, this disciple whom he was optimistic about came to him with two carts of seized property and asked him to walk around the capital.
These words were exactly what I had taught him.
From then on, he passed the imperial examination in the capital and then skyrocketed.
Unexpectedly, he still remembers it!
"There is trouble in southern Xinjiang now, and there is nothing I can do. How can I choose to turn a blind eye for the sake of long-lasting love for my children and a smooth career?"
Feng Yibo knew Li Shouzhong's temperament and his ambitions.
It's just that my mentor has made repeated compromises since arriving in Duzhong to get this position.
In the past few years, he has rarely expressed his attitude, and occasionally it is for Feng Yibo.
If it weren't for continuing to protect his apprentice, he might have given it a try or chosen to retire.
Feng Yibo didn’t want his mentor to repress his ambitions because of him.
Therefore, before leaving, he decided to give his mentor another dose of powerful medicine.
He paused slightly, and then said solemnly:
"If you only care about the country's life and death, how can you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?"
As soon as these words came out, they hit the most secret place in Li Shou's heart!
He was stunned on the spot, and his eyes became extremely complicated.
yes!
Why did you come to Duzhong?
What have you done in these years?
Thinking of this, Li Shouzhong felt bitter in his mouth.
But then I thought about it again, I still have such an outstanding apprentice!
Isn’t what he is doing, saying, and thinking exactly his ambition?
This is the result of his own words and deeds, and it is also the inheritance between master and disciple!
After a long while, he slammed the table and said:
"Come on! It won't be a problem for me to live for another ten years. No matter what, I can keep our family safe! As for the rest, it's up to you to take care of it!"
After saying that, he waved his hand happily.
After Feng Yibo left, he repeatedly recited those two lines of poetry:
"If you seek to benefit the country in life and death, why should you avoid it because of misfortune and fortune? If you seek to benefit the country in life and death, how can you avoid it because of misfortune and fortune? If you seek to benefit the country in life and death, why should you avoid it..."
After a long while, he sighed heavily and murmured:
"Oh! I didn't expect that I would go back over time."
Feng Yibo returned to the back house and greeted Li Mengshi, not to mention comforting his wives and concubines.
The next day, he called Yang Mingxin, Liu Zheng, Liu Zhao, Qiu Peng, Jia Lian and others to his house to give instructions one by one.
"Brother Haoran, brother Xinmin, the summer harvest is coming soon, you guys are going to be very tired."
"When you encounter something that can't be solved, just discuss it with Mr. Chen Ge, or ask Mr. Zhang Ge for his opinion. They are old and mature, and they will always find a way."
"Brother Wan Li, we still need your full support for the New Deal. If necessary, assist the governments and use a few examples to shock you. If there are any obstacles, Mr. Chen Ge will make the decision for you."
"Brother Mingliang, when I go out this time, someone must be causing trouble in the Beijing camp. You don't have to worry about it when the time comes. You can just suppress it. I have already asked the Queen Mother for permission. If necessary, we can act according to military law and kill a few."
"Second brother Lian has been working hard recently, getting the brothers of the Dragon Scale Guard to take action. They must keep an eye on those wealthy families. If there is any movement, we must communicate with the guard in time and suppress it at the speed of light!"
"..."
After giving instructions one by one, Feng Yibo said goodbye to his family the next day and took people to Jinmen.
In the pavilion ten miles outside the city, there were more officials who came to see him off than his entourage.
The group was huge, with dozens of officials and their servants, numbering in the hundreds.
Among these officials, there are relatives and friends of Feng Yibo.
There are friends, cronies and lackeys, subordinates of the Ministry of Etiquette, etc.
"Thank you for coming to see me off. Feng Yuan will definitely live up to your expectations and do his best to solve the Jiaozhi matter."
Feng Yibo came over and only exchanged a few pleasantries. He was immediately considerate and had countless flatterers.
"The Marquis of Chu will surely succeed immediately!"
"The smallest country in your country, the prince of Chu can destroy it with just a raise of his hand!"
"..."
Listening to these flatteries, Feng Yibo smiled and was about to raise his hand to say goodbye.
At this time, I heard someone say:
"I highly appreciate the Marquis of Chu's fist! No matter whether you succeed or fail here, you must put yourself first!"
"Exactly! "If you live and die for the benefit of the country, how can you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?" This sentence is comparable to "Leave a loyal heart to illuminate history" in "Crossing the Lingding Ocean"! "
"No one in the imperial court can match the character of the Marquis of Chu!"
After hearing these words, Feng Yibo understood that it was his mentor who made him famous.
Leaving such verses before departure can be regarded as establishing a stable person for the country and the people.
Even if he loses this time, no one will question his loyalty.
Immediately, he looked ashamed and waved his hands repeatedly:
"I'm ashamed, I'm sorry, you guys have given me too much praise! This is what my teacher taught me every day. I'm just trying to be a practitioner."
When everyone heard it, they immediately understood and started to praise Li Shouzhong together.
"The high character of your master and disciple will surely shine through the ages!"
"Famous teachers produce great disciples, and only a great Confucian like Mr. Li Ge can teach a pillar of the country like the Marquis of Chu!"
"The Marquis of Chu can practice the teachings of Mr. Lige. This is the benevolence and filial piety mentioned by the sage!"
"..."
After the greetings here ended, Feng Yibo called brothers Xue Pan and Xue Biao aside, took out a suppressed metal token, and warned:
"While I'm away, keep an eye on your family. If there's something life-threatening, have this thing sent to Jinmen, where a large ship from Donghai County is docked."
The implementation of the plan to spread the family into a single family was about to begin, and he had already thought about everything he could think of.
But although the preparations are almost done, it is still very involved, and someone might jump over the wall in a hurry.
He made this arrangement just in case.
"Understood!"
The two brothers nodded solemnly, and Xue Biao collected the token.
Feng Yibo nodded, turned around and waved freely.
