Feng Ziying is a guest I met in the study outside.
The outer study room was renovated from the original Jia She's courtyard, and Jia She's original outer study room was also incorporated into it, so the courtyard was much larger and there were many more rooms.
As expected, it turned out to be Dai Pang.
Dai Quan's nephew was the first to have a relationship with Feng Ziying. He was a very shrewd person, similar to the relationship between Zhou Dehai and Zhou Peisheng.
Dai Pang also has a younger brother, Dai Zong, who is also with Mei Yuexi, but Feng Ziying knows that Dai Zong spends more time outside.
Later, as Dai Quan gradually retired from the palace and moved to Renshou Palace, the brothers Dai Pang and Dai Zong lost contact with each other.
But now that Emperor Yuanxi passed away, Dai Quan returned to the palace, but now he followed Mei Yuexi in the cold palace. Perhaps he had to wait for time, so Dai Pang and Dai Zong naturally followed his uncle.
Looking at Feng Ziying's warm face, Dai Pang was also a little distracted.
When did you first meet this guy?
It seems that he was in the palace. Emperor Yonglong met him in the East Study Room, and later he met him twice, once at the entrance of Wenyuan Pavilion and once in front of the Ministry of War, but each time he was more amazing than the last.
These thoughts were fleeting. Dai Pang collected his thoughts, put a smile on his face, stood up and bowed his hands: "I have met the Minister."
"Manager Dai, you and I are old acquaintances, why are you so polite? How are Princess Long and Uncle Ling?" Feng Zi spoke in a gentle tone and extended her hand to signal the other party to take a seat.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. It's all good. After seeing you last time, the concubine and my uncle have been thinking about you. Who would have thought that you would leave the capital after finishing your business in Beijing? I heard that you went to Jiangnan.
?”
Dai Pang is also very well informed.
"Well, I've been to Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Nanjing, but I can't help it. There are so many things to do, so I can't go." Feng Ziying nodded: "Hasn't it only been two days since I came back? Is there something wrong with the concubine?"
Dai Pang was secretly angry, could everything be okay?
The things that had been discussed with Qian Guozhong before were silent now, and seeing that every seat was gradually being filled, Qian Guozhong felt like a cat scratching his paws, and he would inevitably go to Mei Yuexi to complain.
"Sir, the matter of Qian Guozhong..."
Feng Ziying nodded. He wasn't really sure. The matter was over and Qian Guozhong's matter was no longer a problem. However, he would not make a mistake as he promised, "I know, I will consider it. There is no rush."
Are you not in a hurry? Can you be in a hurry? You can see that every position is being filled, and if it continues, there won't be any suitable positions. After all, Qian Guozhong also sacrificed his life for you.
Dai Pang could only curse, but he did not dare to show it in words, and said dryly: "I hope you will consider it more, and the concubine would like to see you."
Want to meet? Feng Ziying's heart skipped a beat. Yuan Chun and Guo Qinjun both wanted to meet. How could she have such good energy?
However, he immediately realized that he seemed to be too sensitive. Mei Yuexi was not Guo Qinyun, and he had nothing to do with her. They were purely interested in each other.
"But now I can't enter the palace at will..."
"The concubine is going to leave the palace to burn incense and pray for blessings. She is staying at Longfu Temple." Dai Pang noticed the doubts and worries in Feng Ziying's eyes, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, sir, the concubine has always been there at Longfu Temple."
The princess used to stay at the place where she stayed a few times every summer. It was very private, and the people there were very well-behaved..."
It turns out that Longfu Temple is Meiyuexi's hometown, Feng Ziying really didn't expect it.
However, considering that she is the favorite concubine of Emperor Yonglong, and is much more scheming than Guo Qinyun, and she has the help of Dai's uncle and nephew, this arrangement makes sense.
But this doesn't mean that he has to go to Longfu Temple to see her.
"Manager Dai, I have promised to do the Qian Guozhong matter, and I will do it naturally. Apart from this matter, does the concubine have anything else to do?"
Feng Ziying's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away was not what Dai Pang expected. To be honest, he was not optimistic about Mei Yuexi's request to meet Feng Ziying. Why should he try so hard for King Lu?
But seeing the embarrassing situation Emperor Wantong is in now, who can not be moved?
Maybe when I woke up, the cabinet had already issued a statement saying that the emperor was insane and could not handle affairs, so he became the overlord, or simply established a new prince to supervise the country?
This possibility is a devilish temptation for any prince or concubine, and it is impossible to get rid of it.
Dai Pang murmured for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and whispered: "Sir, you are a sensible person. You also know the situation in the palace now. The ministers in the cabinet must be very dissatisfied. Maybe..."
Feng Ziying smiled contemptuously and said, "Manager Dai, it is best for the princess to let nature take its course. Don't mess with it randomly, otherwise it will be counterproductive. I understand her thoughts, but the conditions are not mature now."
Dai Pang was a little anxious, "Sir, many things can be accomplished in advance, and will be ruined if you don't. If you don't step forward, who will care about you? King Lu is the most suitable person. Now is such an opportunity. If you lend a helping hand, in the future
The concubine must be well rewarded..."
"A generous reward?" Feng Ziying laughed, "What kind of reward do I need? How can the concubine repay me generously? I told you about King Lu, it is best to be still and stop, don't act rashly and ask for trouble, I said
The concubine is also a very shrewd person, why can’t she figure it out?”
"Sir, the concubine is very anxious now, and several other princes are also working hard. If you lend a helping hand, the concubine will definitely remember it. If King Lu can really ascend the throne in the future, then you can also..."
Dai Pang didn't say any more, but the expectation in his eyes was enough to explain everything.
Feng Ziying still shook her head: "If the concubine has anything to say, you can bring it to me. There is no need to meet."
Dai Pang is really in despair. Why is this guy so insecure now?
Even his uncle said that this man was as lustful as his soul. If the concubine asked him to meet him, he would definitely be able to capture her. When the time comes, the concubine might show off her coquettishness and it might have miraculous effects.
As his mind raced, Dai Pang gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, the concubine has said that she must see you. If you refuse to see her, she may come to find you in person."
Feng Ziying suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Manager Dai, are you threatening me or deceiving me? What does the concubine want to see me for? If she really dares to come to me in person, well, I will meet her in this mansion.
she!"
Are you threatening to scare me? This Meiyuexi is still a little young.
Dai Pang left, but Feng Ziying had to consider the issue of Emperor Wan Tong that was attracting the attention of all parties.
During the time when Feng Ziying went to Jiangnan, Emperor Wan Tong did not go to court on the grounds that he was too frightened and felt unwell. All court affairs were handled by the cabinet.
It seemed that everything was normal, and the whole court affairs just started running like this.
But the meaning behind this is far-reaching. Some tabloids have also begun to insinuate some inside information. Although not many people may believe it, as long as some people believe it, it is a risk point.
What's more, as long as someone starts operating in it, and the news itself may not be all rumors, depending on how you judge it, if it is half true or half false, or filled with some emotions or emotions, it will be easier to change the taste.
Feng Ziying also asked Qi Yongtai how the cabinet should handle this turmoil, and ultimately what Emperor Wan Tong should do.
But Qi Yongtai did not answer this question. He only said that everything was running according to the original model. Didn't Emperor Yonglong recover the same after being in a coma for two years and unable to see things?
Feng Ziying was a little frightened when she heard these words. Could it be that the ministers in the cabinet were really happy with this model that completely sidelined the emperor?
If we really want to continue like this, we will have to adopt the model of a constitutional monarchy. Could it be that because of my arrival, this scene that has never happened before in history will be staged hundreds of years in advance?
This is unscientific.
This kind of false monarchy has never been advocated in this land. The people of this era rely more on the sense of security brought by a strong and stable emperor.
However, the assassination of Emperor Yonglong, the poor reputation of Emperor Wan Tong, and the mediocrity of Emperor Yonglong's adult sons have caused the reputation of the Zhang family's imperial power to continue to decline.
It's still uncertain what the cabinet will do, but Feng Ziying feels that this situation will not last and there must always be a result.
Feng Ziying doesn't think now is a good time to change people, which only proves the cabinet's original decision-making was blind and hasty.
Maybe everyone can take a step back and tolerate each other for the sake of the country?
But does this tolerance have a limit and how long can it last?
Emperor Wan Tong should understand that the cabinet does not think that he can continue to be emperor, but that replacing him now would be too much of a slap in the cabinet's own face. Therefore, it has to protect the face of the cabinet to save him. This does not mean that this
This situation will continue forever.
Maybe at a certain point in time, or due to certain factors, the cabinet will declare that it is unable to handle matters and needs to be sent to the Renshou Palace to be strictly guarded like the fourth child, and then the next puppet will be launched.
The cabinet also thought that Emperor Wan Tong would not bow down so easily, or it would be more appropriate to say "conferring the head". The civil servants were ruthless, even more sophisticated than the military men, killing people and killing people.
, they will solve it for you. Everything is in their hands, including their words, mouthpieces, and even the power of the palace and military. If you say you don’t have it, will anyone listen or believe it?
Even if you just run out of the palace and stand at the Meridian Gate and shout, someone will tell you that it is fake and you are pretending to be a substitute, and they will be able to pin you down.
Even Feng Ziying shudders sometimes just thinking about it. If he really wants to go to that point, this kind of emperor would be better off than he should be.
Of course, Feng Ziying could only think about this in her own mind. She didn't see that Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinjun were still chasing after each other, and they were still determined to attack at all costs.
Maybe they thought that after their son ascended the throne, he could change everything, just like Emperor Wan Tong had imagined before, thinking that he could do it himself, but unfortunately the reality was so cruel.
If you get to a certain point in the future, how will you break the situation?
Feng Ziying laughed dumbly. She really thought a little too much.
