Chapter 48: Changes in the court situation

 Where to put Qingwen and Feng Ziying just have a preliminary idea, but it depends on the situation.

But it's inappropriate to put it in Eryou's place.

Eryou now has contacts with Dongfu. Mrs. You often goes back to Ningguo Mansion, and the You family also sends people to deliver things to Ma Xiang Hutong from time to time. It is easy to find Qingwen there, and the people in the two mansions Everyone knows that Eryou is his wife, so this is embarrassing.

Feng Ziying was thinking about whether Qingwen could be sent to Shen Yixiu.

The marriage with Shen Yixiu has been agreed upon, and on December 19th, the next step is the specific matters. In September, my brother-in-law Shen Zizheng will also participate in the Autumn Palace Competition, and Feng Ziying will also have to go and pay attention. This is also far away in Dongchang. Shen Jue, the father-in-law of the mansion, specifically warned me.

Now that the relationship between son-in-law and uncle has been bound, Feng Ziying will naturally no longer have any quarrels. However, Shen Yixiu is indeed far less familiar with Daiyu Baochai, but this is the case with marriages in this era, like Daiyu Baochai. On the contrary, it is a different kind.

Qingwen can be placed with Shen Yixiu and become a bridge between herself and Shen Yixiu in the past six months.

Qingwen is very familiar with Yun Shang, Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling in her room, and they can often go back and forth. Naturally, they can communicate with each other about their daily lives. This can also help Shen Yixiu and herself understand each other. It will also make it easier for Shen Yixiu to integrate into the life here when she gets married half a year later.

But Shen Yixiu's consent is required here.

As a lady waiting to get married, she usually has her own personal maid who will accompany her when she gets married. It's hard to say what Shen Yixiu would think if he sent Qingwen there like this.

If not, he won't accept it at all, or even if he accepts it, it will be difficult to establish a harmonious relationship with Shen Yixiu. This is also the biggest problem.

However, you have to try things like this before you know, otherwise you can only let Qingwen find a place to stay outside, and wait for a year or two before these things gradually fade away before entering the house.

This is all the next step, but Qingwen's physical condition improved very quickly, maybe because her heart knot was untied, or maybe the medicine from Zhu Langzhong was really effective, or maybe after entering the Feng Mansion The environment was great, so after entering the house, Qingwen's complexion quickly improved and she returned to her original beauty.

"Okay, I thought you really didn't go back to the Hanlin Academy, Ziying. How long have you been since I last saw you?" Yang Sichang looked at Feng Ziying coming in, and couldn't help but smile on his face, "Zhenchang and Ruogu They are still talking about you. The officials at the Zhongshu Department can't live without you, even after Jun Yu left."

"Wen Ruo, after all, I am also from the Hanlin Academy, but I am serving the imperial court there. Now that the sea opening is basically on the right track, the officials will naturally let me back." Feng Ziying looked at me. Looking at Yang Sichang, "Seeing that Wen Ruo looks so good, could it be that he has hired another girl from another family?"

"Ziying, you have the nerve to say this?" Yang Wenruo clapped his hands and laughed, "No matter which young lady I accept, I can't compare to you. How does Hu girl feel? Why are you jealous of His Highness Prince Shou? You are really You can be a model for our Yonglong five-year subject, even His Highness King Shou would give you a few points."

Feng Ziying didn't care either, "You are weak and you are not romantic. You are a young man. Do you have to be as calm and calm as Liu Xiahui when you are young? I can't do it. As for the jealousy with His Highness Prince Shou, everyone knows what's going on.

Son, this is an unforeseen disaster. It is inevitable that some people who dislike me and His Highness Prince Shou will stir up trouble here, lest the world remains in chaos."

The story of the jealousy between Feng Ziying and Prince Shou was widely circulated in the upper class society of the capital city, but everyone listened to it as a joke and even made fun of Feng Ziying. Why did this guy hate seeing beautiful women so much?

Although Feng Ziying was flirtatious and lustful, it was impossible for King Shou to have such a dispute with Feng Ziying, who was in the limelight, over such matters. It was nothing more than someone deliberately stoking trouble behind his back, and everyone knew it tacitly.

"Hey, you, you, what can I say about you? You never participate in the Chinese Poetry Club in Capital City, but if you say that you don't know poetry, Wang Xiangchun was dumbfounded and embarrassed by you. He is a master of poetry among you Shandong scholars.

, but why don’t you take the time to participate a few times?”

Yang Sichang didn't believe that Feng Ziying didn't understand poetry. This guy was used to pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Wang Xiangchun had always been a person with outstanding Chinese talents among the scholars in the North. However, after the Enrong Banquet failed, his reputation plummeted, causing Wang Xiangchun to meet again.

People said that Feng Ziying had a treacherous mind and was not a gentleman, but in the end, Feng Ziying became famous.

"Princes like Shou Wang, Fu Wang and Li Wang all like to attend this kind of cultural gathering. If you can attend a few times and get to know several of their highnesses, how can such dirty water be poured on you?"

"Wen Ruo, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with whether I'm familiar with your Highnesses or not. You and I know these things well. As long as someone can benefit from it, it will happen today and it will still happen tomorrow. You

What do you mean?" Feng Ziying smiled and waved her hands, "What is pure will become clear by itself, and what is turbid will become turbid by itself, just let it go."

Seeing that Feng Ziying didn't care about this, Yang Sichang admired this guy's calmness.

Many scholars were deeply afraid that their reputations would be ruined, but Feng Ziying's lustful reputation spread far and wide without any thought of his reputation. This also amazed many people, but looking at what they did, you can only admire them.

How can raising a few outhouses and being jealous a few times be compared with something like the strategy of opening up the sea, which has a huge impact on the overall situation of the entire court? Can it be compared with getting millions of taels of silver back for the court?

People who are incompetent will be cautious and fearful of affecting their career prospects. How can a person like Feng Ziying be affected by such trivial matters?

"Master Gao is here. It's time for you to meet our newly appointed right minister of the Ministry of Rites and bachelor of the Hanlin Academy." Yang Sichang didn't say more, "This Master Gao is no better than Master Huang. You should be more careful."

.”

Huang Ruliang was transferred to the position of left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Gao Panlong was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. The appointment had been brewing in the cabinet for a long time. Feng Ziying knew about it at least years ago, but they could not reach an agreement. It took more than half a year to make the appointment.

.

Feng Ziying is naturally aware of Gao Panlong's reputation. He was one of the famous leaders of the Donglin Party in his previous life. However, in the Zhou Dynasty, he was just a standard scholar-official, but he was more politically active.

The political structure and atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty was far less intense than that of the previous Ming Dynasty. At the very least, the party struggle still remained at a relatively shallow level. The most important thing was the struggle between the north and the south, and there was the presence of martial arts forces.

, the emperor's ability to control the political situation was much stronger than that of the previous Ming Dynasty, so the political struggle was not as fierce as that of the previous Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, the battle for the throne is even more dangerous and cruel.

Of course, Gao Panlong was able to recruit the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to take charge of the Hanlin Academy. Naturally, it was also part of the layout of Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe. He would definitely not have much favorable impressions of Feng Ziying, a leading scholar in the North.

.

Feng Ziying didn't have much dislike for Gao Panlong, nor did she have much favorable impression. In her previous life, whether online or in physical books, her evaluation of the Donglin Party members tended to be extreme.

In Feng Ziying's view, the Donglin Party members are nothing more than a group of scholars who are also filled with personal interests, class interests and regional interests and think that they have some bottom line in their feelings for their country and moral sentiments.

If these people are purely saints for their family and country, without any other interests mixed in, Feng Ziying does not believe it. How many people can completely control the seven emotions and six desires, wine, sex, wealth, anger, fame, profit, kindness, and love?

Break free?

In this case, it is nothing more than laughing at the ninety steps and laughing at the hundred steps. They are all political people, so don't be so particular.

However, after talking with Gao Panlong, both sides had a good impression.

Gao Panlong's impression of Feng Ziying is that he is a smart, sharp young man with a broad and deep vision, and is extremely pragmatic.

Unlike some young scholars who are either too ambitious or too ambitious, or who just like to talk about things on paper, this young man is also very talkative, but I feel that his conversations are very organized and purposeful.

This is often a skill that only senior politicians over forty years old have. This also makes Gao Panlong look highly upon Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen. With such a disciple, the master will naturally not be inferior.

Likewise, Gao Panlong also left a good impression on Feng Ziying.

There are some feelings and some bottom lines, but can this bottom line hold up in the face of interests and pressure? Feng Ziying is not sure.

But at least Gao Panlong's impression on him is good so far, and he even has some passion and longing for the future, which is really rare among officials of this age.

As for Gao Panlong's actual ability and specific experience, Feng Ziying is not very optimistic.

However, if the scholars from Jiangnan have not worked at the prefectural and county level for several years, most of them are people with high ambitions and low abilities, and Gao Panlong is probably no exception.

Feng Ziying will stay in the Hanlin Academy for another year, so he is not willing to stalemate the relationship with Gao Panlong. It is beneficial to both parties to maintain a relatively harmonious relationship.

The relationship between scholars in the North and Jiangnan is still in the honeymoon period due to the advancement of the Kaihai Strategy. However, the Northland scholars are already a little dissatisfied and feel that Jiangnan has benefited from the Kaihai Strategy.

More, if more benefits are not obtained in Liaodong, it is estimated that this contradiction and rift will deepen.

The Jiangnan scholars also hoped to maintain a good relationship with the representative figures of the Northern scholars to prevent this relationship from deteriorating too quickly and affecting the entire government operation, so Feng Ziying was also the main target they tried to win over and have a close relationship with.

**********

"You attach so much importance to this Gao Panlong, but is there any special reason?" Feng Tang was a little drunk when he came back. He was very surprised to hear his son describe his first impression of contact with Gao Panlong in such detail.

In my impression, my son, except for his masters and masters, few others seem to have such serious and detailed analysis and judgment, including Zhang Jingqiu, Zheng Jizhi and other important ministers who hold the position of minister.

"There is no special reason. It is said that this person is particularly good at lecturing and studying. After my son got in touch with him, he felt that he did have some attainments in the theory of classics. Qingtan Academy seemed to pay too much attention to current affairs, which also attracted criticism from some classics experts.

My son once suggested to Master Zhou that we might as well invite such people from Jiangnan to come and exchange ideas."

She didn't expect her father to be so sensitive, and Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh.

I also subconsciously felt that Gao Panlong would play a leading role in the future government, but I ignored that times were different, times had changed, and Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng might not be able to succeed.

For example, Gu Xiancheng only served in Guanglu Temple and Hanlin Academy in Nanjing, and now he has returned home to give lectures. Although he is somewhat famous in Jiangnan, he is far less famous than in his previous life in the late Ming Dynasty.

"These Jiangnan scholars are all in control of everyone, and they are eloquent, but when it comes to doing things, it is not necessarily the case. Don't pay too much attention to it." Feng Tang shook his head and burped, "Today Shuirong summoned four kings, eight princes, and twelve princes to replace him.

The farewell congratulations to my father make me a little worried."

"What's wrong?" Feng Ziying was shocked.

"Prince Yi Zhong also showed up." Feng Tang's drunkenness had subsided at this time, and his eyes were deep, "Huh, it's just that in this situation, it's not easy for a father to refuse, so he can only be conciliatory."

Feng Ziying also felt a headache. It was one thing to come into contact with the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, but to get involved with Prince Yi Zhong would be a real disaster.

"What is dad going to do?" Feng Ziying couldn't think of a suitable countermeasure for a while. The key was not what dad did, but what the emperor would think.

"How about taking the initiative to apply to supervise the army?" Feng Tang pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, "No, if this guy goes to Liaodong, the constraints will be too great, and it will delay the military situation. But if we stay in Jizhen, then we Feng Tang will

The family may not have any room for maneuver."

Dad still doesn't think highly of the emperor, and Feng Ziying knows this very well.

The key is that it is a bit confusing who actually controls the strength of the Beijing camp.

As the general of the Fifth Military Camp, Chen Jixian seems to be in charge of the affairs of the capital, but he has absolutely no control over the Shenshu Camp. Qiu Shiben, the left deputy general of the Shenshu Camp, and these traditional martial artists have long since turned against each other, otherwise the emperor would not put him there.

Regarding the position of the left deputy general of the Shenshu Camp, the Shenji Camp is insufficient in strength. The five military camps have an absolute advantage in strength, but what about the generals in charge of the troops below the fifth military camp?

Both Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong once served as military governors of the Beijing camp. Niu Jizong was just that. His time in office was too short. However, Wang Ziteng was deeply rooted in the Beijing camp. How many of these old subordinates still listened to him?

Moreover, Niu Jizong and the prince were evacuated from the capital camp, and in exchange, Niu Jizong was in charge of the governor-general of Xuanda. The military strength of Xuanfu Town is not weak, and it is so close to the capital city. If there is a change in the capital, will they intervene?

The same situation applies to Jizhen and Denglai, but Denglai is a little far away unless transported by ship.

Perhaps the emperor used this strategy of differentiation and disintegration to achieve a balance so that no one could act rashly?

Everyone knows that as time goes by, this will only be more beneficial to the emperor.
