Feng Ziying's good mood for returning to Beijing disappeared in just two or three days.
He was questioned by two ministers in the cabinet, but he was disappointed by the slowness and hesitancy shown.
Although he also knew that this should be the norm for bureaucrats in this era, the soldiers on the front line could not afford to wait.
Every extra day of waiting will affect the consumption of food and the morale of the soldiers, and the prestige of the court will also be weakened.
Zhang Jingqiu, who had officially taken over as Minister of War, had been talking for a long time.
The new Minister of War asked a lot of questions, and Feng Ziying answered carefully and seriously. He even mentioned some of his own opinions. Zhang Jingqiu agreed, but he did not come up with many specific measures.
He felt that although the new Minister of War had the emperor's trust, firstly, he was a little less qualified, and secondly, the emperor's thoughts on military affairs had to take other specific factors into consideration, so Emperor Yonglong would rather hide his weakness.
Zhang Jingqiu was once very excited about the idea proposed by Chai Ke and Yang He to regain lost territory and win outside the territory, but he soon calmed down and began to worry about food supplies and the required military expenditures. This is the character who has entered the state of Minister of the Ministry of War.
, but this is also what the frontline soldiers hate the most.
In two or three days, I met with Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, met with Zhang Jingqiu, and met with my supervisor Huang Ruliang, and reported everything that should be reported, but did not get anything useful.
The reason why they did not go to see Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia in advance was because they prioritized business before private matters. Even if this private matter was actually more of a business matter.
Students such as Lian Guoshi, Yang Sichang, Xu Xie, Fang Youdu, Wang Yingxiong, etc. all came to visit one after another. They all inevitably had to listen to the thrilling journey of the Western Expedition to counter the rebellion. Appropriate artistic processing can make this group of students more clear.
Remember your outstanding performance in this counter-insurgency battle.
So far, I have not received a summons from the palace to see the emperor, or there is no news about being summoned by the emperor.
"Finally I've blocked you." He saw Liu Xianglian, who was guarding the door of the house and was wearing a white shirt, holding a folding fan and walking back and forth. As soon as she saw him, she suddenly put away the folding fan and hurried over.
"Ziqi and the others all said that they have not seen you in the past few days. They are either in Wenyuan Pavilion, in the Hanlin Academy, or in the Ministry of War. They dare not disturb you. We all know that you are now
You are a busy man, but you should still be concerned about the livelihood of your family, right?"
Feng Ziying got out of the car and knew what Liu Xianglian was talking about. She shook her head: "I don't have the time to care about these things. I have been so busy these days that I came here from Mr. Huang and walked away.
My mouth is dry, so I’ll go back and have a rest first.”
"Good brother, we can't wait any longer." Liu Xianglian hurriedly grabbed Feng Ziying's arm, "I must go there today, Zi Qi, Ruolan and the others will have trouble sleeping. Such a big business is so big.
It's almost there. If you don't take a look and give an explanation, how can we feel at ease? Even Xue Wenlong knows that he goes to the garden to guard it all day long. Even if it doesn't help, at least he can guard the garden to prevent fires.
The theft,..."
This group of people has vaguely regarded Feng Ziying as their backbone.
The one in front of me is first-class in terms of martial arts, stage skills, and singing skills. Even in his conduct as a person, he can be second-to-none. However, running a theater cannot rely solely on these skills.
Over one hundred thousand taels of silver was spent, which is not a small sum for any family, and must be taken seriously.
Even though the Xue family spoke loudly, they were also very cautious on the inside. Xue Pan also ran into the garden often this year. Although it didn't have much effect, he was still a member of the family. Where did he go?
If you stand there and just watch but don't talk, the craftsmen working in the garden will always be a little wary.
For Liu Xianglian, this is her wish to combine her hobbies with her livelihood. How can she tolerate failure?
Seeing that Feng Ziying refused to agree and just walked to the corner door, Liu Xianglian did not dare to pull her, so she could only follow him into the corner door.
Over the past year or so, he had witnessed the transformation of this wise brother, from a scholar to a scholar, from a scholar to a scholar, and then he quickly went to Western Xinjiang to make achievements.
It is said that during this counter-rebellion, he single-handedly left the grassland and entered Ganzhou. With his ability, he convinced the leader of the Tatar people in the grassland. When Ganzhou was in chaos, he turned the tide and repelled the rebels' attack on Ganzhou. Finally, he persuaded the rebels to
Anyway, the leader made the border rebellion that had the entire Zhou Dynasty panic calm down within half a year.
There are widespread rumors even in the capital city, almost touting Feng Ziying as a god.
Although there are some exaggerations here, Liu Xianglian also knows that there must be many stories, and even if it is made into a piece of drama, it is probably a good subject.
He is thinking that when the garden opens, he will ask someone to write a fold. The name has been chosen, and he will call it "Yangguan Threefold" to show the twists and turns of these three times that determine the world.
Feng Ziying really didn't want to worry about such things.
The trip to Western Xinjiang in the past six months has indeed caused some changes in his mentality and outlook.
Watching helplessly as these two towns fell due to the rebellion triggered by the greed and incompetence of Shi Guangjue and others, the losses amounted to tens of millions? I was helpless in the face of all this.
In the past few days, all he had been thinking about was how to push forward the debt-raising strategy of Kaihai as soon as possible.
However, both Ye Xianggao and Zhang Jingqiu were full of fear and worry about such new things. Even scholars such as Huang Ruliang, who were concerned with their own interests, were hesitant and hesitant.
To say that his attitude is quite positive, but when it comes to specific strategies, he always subconsciously wants to think about it again and take another look, which makes Feng Ziying both helpless and sad.
If you want to reform in this era, you really need to have the ability to know the world. Imagine how great the resistance will be to Wang Anshi's reform. He is still the prime minister, and even has the support of the New Party and the emperor, but it will eventually fall into the sand.
Now that I am just a small character who can gain access to various forces by chance, it is really difficult to push forward such a large carriage in the Great Zhou Dynasty and change history.
But the problem is that the changes and developments in world history will not give you much time. If you don't seize the opportunity to act, internal and external factors may make the whole situation more dangerous in the future.
Before he came back, he had thought about the many difficulties he might face, but now he discovered that the biggest obstacle was the conservative mentality and conceptual awareness of officials and people at home and abroad. They were subconsciously unwilling to accept changes and were afraid of all the consequences that changes would bring.
A kind of "turmoil" and new things.
In Feng Ziying's view, this is actually a static state of mind caused by the degradation of learning ability, fearing that she will not be able to cope with things that she has never seen or experienced before.
At this time, he didn't even have much thought about teasing the pretty maids at home until his sixteenth birthday in a few days, but Liu Xianglian still came to ask him to care about the theater?
Liu Xianglian did not dare to stop Feng Ziying, so she could only follow Feng Ziying into the house and then into his yard.
"Ziying, are you afraid that your official duties are not going well?" Liu Xianglian has been outside for several years, and he still has the ability to judge the situation. He knows that Feng Ziying is probably not in a good mood, but he is not afraid.
"Well, it's a little worse than expected." Feng Ziying said casually.
"Ziying, if you think so, you are already outstanding and beyond the reach of your peers. What else can you do?" Liu Xianglian thought that Feng Ziying was dissatisfied with the imperial court's reward, which was why there was a gap, so she couldn't bear it.
He persuaded the other party: "Everyone in the capital city is talking about you, saying that you broke into the grassland alone, fought a bloody road, and finally made the Tatars surrender. Even the craftsmen in our yard are saying,
…”
Feng Ziying finally couldn't help laughing, "It's such an exaggeration. If I have such abilities, wouldn't I become a glaring King Kong and become invulnerable?"
"Ziying, what I say is true. Don't believe me. Take it from me. If everything goes well for you, it may not be a good thing. You are only sixteen years old and your beauty will be destroyed by the wind.
In other words, sometimes things don’t go your way, but that’s a good thing.”
Liu Xianglian's words made Feng Ziying slightly moved.
I still underestimate the mentality of people in this era, and I am always willing to use the mentality of people in the original world to figure it out. I feel that as long as it is good and profitable, everyone should recognize and support it, but people in this era may not
.
The fear and worry about the unknown and uncertainty are deeply ingrained in the minds of these officials. They would rather follow the rules and maintain the status quo. If possible, they hope that the world will be still and everyone will just live by the rules.
It's a pity that neither the outside nor the inside will be like this. No one can avoid or stop all this. We all have to face this era of rapid changes.
But Liu Xianglian's words still made Feng Ziying feel much better.
What they said is right, what else do I want? I am only sixteen years old. Maybe in a few days I will be awarded the position of editor of the Hanlin Academy. This is already the pinnacle of tens of thousands of Zhou Dynasty scholars.
After reaching this position, considering my age, it is really not a dream to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister.
Don't rush, take your time, haste makes waste, Feng Ziying warned herself that the world is still beautiful, and she is more kind to herself. There is no need to make herself too tense. We must learn to adjust psychologically.
Have time.
His mood also became happy. He took a new cup of tea delivered by Jin Chuan'er, took a sip, felt the sweetness and happiness of life, and nodded: "Brother Liu, what you said makes so much sense, I don't even know it."
That’s right, let’s drink a cup of tea first, let me take a breather, and then go have a look in the garden.”
