The 221st chapter of the Renzi volume, the scheming Shi Taijun
This visit was something everyone had been looking forward to for a long time, whether it was Baochai, Yingchun, Yuanyang and the others.
It is also a great comfort to everyone in the Jia family who is in prison.
These days of being in prison and losing their freedom are something they have never experienced before. It is not an exaggeration to say that the days are like years. The key is that you don’t know when the end will come. This kind of despair almost makes your spirit fragile.
drives people crazy.
Feng Ziying also knew very well that he had to go there, otherwise he didn't know whether people like Tanchun, Xiangyun, and Li Wan could support him. In contrast, people like Jia Mu and Wang had probably seen more.
Many people may be able to persevere.
Similarly, for people outside, taking a trip can not only provide psychological comfort and satisfaction, but also fulfill a responsibility and obligation.
When they met Jia Mu, Wang family, and Xing family, they could no longer control their emotions. Baochai, Yingchun, Yuanyang, and Hongyu all cried so hard that they couldn't help themselves.
Jia Mu, Wang and others were still a little surprised that Feng Ziying really brought people in for a visit. It was not surprising that Feng Ziying himself came in. After all, he was an official of the imperial court, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. It made sense for him to find a reason to come in.
But if all the women are brought in, then it is not like Long Jinwei, who is in charge of things, dares to make the decision.
This also gave Jia Mu and others a glimmer of hope.
They do not expect to be released from prison immediately. For such a crime of rebellion, they are lucky enough not to lose their heads. It is wishful thinking to get out easily, but if they can reduce some of the guilt and ease the handling of the Jia family in the future, there is hope
If the opportunity revives and leaves some opportunities, that would be perfect.
This hope can only be pinned on Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziyi and the others all left early knowingly.
In fact, they all knew that this group of criminals did not have much value in interrogation, so after interrogating them some time ago, they basically left them idle.
What determines their fate is not how well they explain, but how the court views it and the fate of the "chief criminals" in Nanjing. Therefore, it is impossible for this kind of case to have any results in the short term, and may eventually need to be imprisoned until the Nanjing Puppet Prison.
The fate of the dynasty has come to an end and the "chief criminals" have been brought to justice before they can be dealt with together. Now many people are still unclear about the purpose of the dynasty's capture of them, but Feng Ziying knows it, and what is found during the search is the most important.
So Feng Ziyi and the others don't care what Feng Ziying and the others will do if they are left alone. It's of little significance to pass on news or communicate internally and externally, so if they can be generous and do favors, why not do it?
Feng Ziying stayed with her all the time, even though all the women were crying so hard that Jia Mu was the calmer one, asking everyone to silence their voices and slowly regain their composure.
"Brother Keng, you are very considerate, and you won't say thank you for your kindness. The Jia family is like this now. I'm afraid no one outside will take a second look. You still value love and righteousness. Baochai, Daiyu and the second girl are not married to the wrong one."
people."
Jia's mother looks pretty good, but Jiang is very old. Maybe she has been mentally prepared for a long time, or she knows that if she collapses, no one in the family can hold up the overall situation, so she instead
She is in the best mental state among the women and speaks in an orderly manner.
"The old lady is serious. It is the duty of a family not to talk to each other." Feng Ziying said warmly: "It's just that this case is extraordinary. Ziying's ability is limited, so I can only do my best to help."
.”
"Haha, if something like this happens, you can't rely on human relationships to get rid of it. I still understand this." Mother Jia nodded slightly, "But the national law cannot be separated from human relationships. If someone can mediate, the Jia family's
The ending may be much better, so I have to worry about it for you, Ziying."
Feng Ziying sighed and said thoughtfully: "Old lady, in front of you, I won't say anything to evade. In fact, the situation with the Jia family is a little more complicated with Shibo, but
Sun Shaozu is the main culprit. Even if Pardon Shibo can't defend himself, there is still room for Sun Shaozu to carry him. As for Zheng Shishu's side, I have sent people there to see if there is no room for maneuver, but this may take time.
, that is to say, there may not be a result until this case is settled in the south, so..."
Wang couldn't help but interject: "Brother Keng, have you heard anything from Uncle Zheng Shi?"
"Not yet. It will probably take some time. We won't know the situation until the people I sent there come back." Feng Ziying shook her head. He was not specially sent to find Jia Zheng. He had other matters. Moreover, the North-South confrontation is now underway. Although the traffic has not yet
Although the quarantine was cut off, the inspections were still much stricter and took longer.
Jia Mu hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Based on your judgment, Brother Keng, how long do you think it will take for the imperial court to pacify Nanbian'er?"
Feng Ziying glanced at Jia Mu.
This old lady is not a simple person. Although she asked this question, she may not have the intention of really counterattacking back to the capital in case the south side wins.
But he also heard some other flavors in Jia Mu's words. Could it be that the old lady was hiding something?
On the surface, the imperial court seems to have a huge advantage, but those who truly understand the situation inside will not be so optimistic.
The imperial court is powerful on paper, but it needs to be based on the guarantee of money and food. If it can defeat the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army in a relatively short period of time, regain Shandong, and take advantage of the situation to move south, then it will be able to pacify Jiangnan in one go.
I'm just afraid of a stalemate in Shandong. Once the war drags on, the court may be in trouble. There may be problems in Shanshan, Shaanxi, Huguang, and even outside the border wall. Once these problems come together, they will be fatal, and even
There is no room for redemption.
The imperial court could see this, and so could Nanjing and Niu Jizong. If Niu Jizong wanted to take advantage of the imperial court's eagerness for war, he might be able to give the imperial army a head-on blow. Therefore, in this battle, the imperial court
We must seize the time to avoid getting into a tug of war, but we must not be too eager to achieve success. Haste makes waste. It is very important to grasp the rhythm and seize the opportunity.
"Old lady, this question is a bit big. Ziying didn't know how to answer it for a while." Feng Ziying said slowly.
"Ziying, there is nothing difficult to answer." Jia Mu seemed particularly calm. "Since the Han Dynasty, the north has almost always won in the fight between the north and the south. However, since the Ming Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty has gone against the norm. Both dynasties have won for the south, so it is not a problem.
Some people have the idea of Nanbang'er winning, even I am the same."
Jia Mu spoke so frankly that everyone around her was horrified.
Feng Ziying thinks this is the normal behavior of Jia Mu. After all, after several dynasties, she can understand many truths even by watching and listening. What's more, Jia Mu herself comes from a prominent family and has considerable background. This has nothing to do with her.
You can taste the feeling after being exposed to it a few times.
"Then what does the old lady think the outcome of this North-South conflict will be?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
"Is it Ziying that you should answer my question?" Jia Mu also laughed, "If I can see the clues, there is no need to ask Ziying."
Feng Ziying nodded slightly and thought for a moment before saying: "There may be some twists and turns, but Ziying believes that the imperial court will eventually win. It's just a matter of time and how long it takes."
"Ziying has so much confidence in the imperial court?" Jia's mother seemed not to believe it.
"Old lady, Prince Yi Zhong still underestimates the significance and influence of the orthodox right name. Just look at how many Jiangnan officials in the court have turned to Nanjing. Basically, those who are willing to go to Nanjing are
Those depressed people, the real famous Confucian officials, almost did not support the Nanjing puppet dynasty. However, the scholars in Huguang, Guangdong and Southwest China have always been dissatisfied with the scholars in Jiangnan. This is actually equivalent to a small group of people in Jiangnan.
If you want to challenge the entire Northland, Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi and Southwest, what do you think is the possibility of success? The Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was successful because the Northern Yuan Dynasty used foreign races to dominate the Han people. The people lost their support early and were naturally destroyed.
, the Northern Expedition of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually a bit of a fluke, not to mention that the Zhang family originally originated from the south of the Yangtze River, and what Zhu Ming competed with was the hearts and minds of the people in the south of the Yangtze River..."
Feng Ziying thought while explaining: "Prince Yi Zhong used the gentry privileges to bribe the gentry in Jiangnan. In fact, it has lagged behind the times. Jiangnan seems to depend on the gentry, but the gentry has begun to differentiate. Industry and commerce have gradually replaced land as the basis for the wealthy class to make a fortune.
An important channel, and this channel will become more and more important, and industry and commerce are urgently needed for the unified market of the entire Zhou Dynasty, far better than those gentry who rely on land. This differentiation will lead to the imperial court acquiring a considerable part of Jiangnan during its southern expedition.
With the support of the gentry, under such circumstances, how could the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty win?"
Feng Ziying's words were a bit complicated, and even Jia's mother found it difficult to understand, but one thing she understood clearly was that Feng Ziying believed that the Jiangnan gentry was internally divided, and its support for the puppet dynasty in Nanjing was also unclear.
Some support, but some oppose, and most of them just wait and see, hoping to be on the side of the winner. Compared with Nanjing, the imperial court won the Northland, Huguang firmly supported it, and Guangdong, Guangxi and Southwest also basically stood on the side of the imperial court. This
Under such circumstances, Nanjing had almost no chance of victory.
After pondering for a long time, Mother Jia's eyes fell on Feng Ziying and said slowly: "Ziying, I hope your judgment is correct. The Jia family fell very hard. If there are no other special opportunities, it is almost impossible to get up again."
The possibility is gone, and it may even be destroyed, but with your support, I feel that the Jia family should still struggle and fight hard, not to return to its original state, but I hope to retain some fire and hope to start anew..."
