Ji Zi Volume Chapter 142 Eating from Yongping Mansion and doing business with the Ministry of War
Feng Ziying was too lazy to explain to Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong, and stood up directly, "Let's go to the Ministry of War together, and listen to the thoughts of Master Zhang and Master Chai."
Feng Ziying said it so casually, as if he had completely forgotten that he was neither observing politics in the Ministry of War, nor writing in the Hanlin Academy, but a co-president of the Yongping Mansion. However, both Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong took it for granted that Feng Ziying could be one or two years ahead of schedule.
It was predicted in 2010 that there would be a rebellion in the southwest, and it was pointed out that it was Bozhou, which was enough to qualify Feng Ziying to participate in the military meeting of the Ministry of War.
"Is Brother Chucai here?" As he walked out, Feng Ziying asked Baoxiang to lead the horse over.
"Yes." Zheng Chongjian hesitated, "But it seems that Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chai intend to let Brother Chu Cai go out."
The brother Chucai mentioned by the two of them was Geng Ruxi, who was in charge of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of War. He was also a native of Feng Ziying, and had a close relationship with Feng Ziying. Currently, Geng Ruqi serves as Yuanwailang of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of War.
He followed Chai Ke in the Ningxia counter-insurgency campaign and performed well, so he gained the trust of Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke.
"Release?" Feng Ziying was surprised. How could a talent like Geng Ruqi be released? But after thinking about it, I was afraid that there was only one way to go abroad.
Geng Ruqi is now a member of the fifth rank, Yuanwai Lang, and he will move up the ranks within the Ministry of War, becoming the fourth rank of Langzhong and the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War.
At present, all the four doctors in the Ministry of War are full. For example, the famous doctor Yuan Keli is among the doctors in the Ministry of War, and the equally popular Sun Chengzong is among the doctors in the military selection of Qing officials. Both of them are young and powerful, and they are both from the north. It can be said that unless
The two of them were promoted, otherwise it would be impossible for a newbie like Geng Ruqi to succeed them.
And the ministers are all of the third rank, which is too far away from the fifth rank, and there is no chance at all.
Only external transfer can immediately help Geng Raqi, who is almost three years old, quickly advance from the fifth rank to the fifth rank. For example, like Feng Ziying, if he serves as the magistrate of a certain government, he can enter the fourth rank in three years.
If there is special meritorious service, it is not impossible to be promoted to two levels or three levels, and the chances will be much greater.
This means that there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials. As long as you are appreciated by a certain boss, the boss will naturally take the initiative to arrange a suitable place for you. Of course, you must make convincing achievements in the position assigned by the boss.
.
"It seems that Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chai have been prepared for a long time." Feng Ziying nodded thoughtfully. If nothing else happens, Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke must be preparing to arrange for Geng Ruzhi to go to a state capital near Beizhili.
.
"What preparations?" Wang Yingxiong and Zheng Chongjian have not yet understood.
Feng Ziying shook her head, said nothing more, jumped on her horse and said, "Let's go."
Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke can be regarded as people who do practical things. Talents like Geng Ruqi who have performed well in the Ministry of War are consciously trained in advance to prepare for future successors in the Ministry of War. I wonder how Yang Sichang performed in the Ministry of War. Zhang Jingqiu and Chai
What is your impression of it?
A group of three people rode horses back to the Bingbu Gong's house in Shiyongfang. Before they got closer, they could see horses, carriages and sedans outside the Bingbu Gong's house. It was already dark, but the lanterns outside the Bingbu Gong's house were already early.
It was already lit up and looked particularly lively.
As soon as Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong entered the door, they heard Geng Ruqi's voice: "Where did you two go? The doctor started asking."
"Brother Chucai!" Feng Ziying was very happy to see Geng Ruxi and stepped forward quickly.
"Hey, Ziying, you're here too? It just so happens that Mr. Chai just came back and said that you had returned to Beijing. He was looking for someone to call you to ask about the situation." Geng Ruxi was overjoyed.
"Haha, I came uninvited, wouldn't Master Zhang and Master Chai have any objections, right?" Feng Ziying stepped forward to greet Geng Ruqi.
"It's not too late to welcome you, how can you have any opinions?" Geng Ruqi was quite touched, "I heard that you predicted that Yang Yinglong would cause chaos more than a year ago, but I didn't expect that Yang Kedong escaped. Long Jinwei and this bunch of losers have lived in vain.
People were watching one person, and dozens of people were dispatched to search for him after he disappeared, but nothing was found. They didn't even understand how Yang Kedong disappeared from under their noses."
"Brother Chu Cai, in fact, Yang Kedong is not important, but his escape is indeed a sign. Yang Yinglong is about to take action, but brother Chu Cai, have you ever thought about what Yang Yinglong is relying on? Why did you choose this time? It is neither last year nor next year.
?”
Geng Ruqi's eyes narrowed, "Do you also suspect that it is related to the Chahar people?"
"I don't think the Chahar people have such deep considerations. Lindan Batur is only eighteen years old and has only been in power for a few years. He is not so thoughtful. Last year, he was helping Liaodong to threaten the Eastern Lu. How could he think of fighting with the Eastern Lu?
Yang Yinglong has joined forces?" Feng Ziying shook her head, but her eyes were even more worried, "I am worried that Donglu is the one pulling the strings. If it is true, then it will be really troublesome."
Geng Ruqi also had a solemn look on his face.
If Feng Ziying's prediction is true, then this means that the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Mongolian right wing headed by the Chahar people, and the Bozhou Xuanwei Division have already formed a united front. At least they have some kind of tacit understanding and may coordinate
Launched an attack on Dazhou.
Thinking of this, Geng Ruqi wanted to pull Feng Ziying over, "Let's go, Ziying, to see Mr. Chai. There will be a military meeting later, mainly to discuss some situations that may arise now or even in the second half of the year, and what should be done."
How to deal with it, what preparations should be made in advance..."
At this time, Feng Ziying did not refuse, nodded, and followed Geng Ruxi in.
Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong had already gone in. The doctor ordered Mao, and they had to go immediately to answer Mao.
As expected, Chai Ke was particularly happy to see Feng Ziying arriving, and took him along to meet Zhang Jingqiu.
Zhang Jingqiu didn't look very good, but when he saw Feng Ziying, he still said a few words in a pleasant manner, and told the Ministry of War that Feng Ziying would attend a military meeting as an exception, and also let Feng Ziying give some of his own opinions.
This was the first time for Feng Ziying to participate in such a large-scale military meeting. In addition to Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke, the Langzhong of the Fourth Department of the Ministry of War and the Wuxuan Qingli Department, as well as some members of the Zhongfang Qingli Department and the Qingli Department, as well as chiefs and deputy chiefs, all participated.
.
"Ziying, let's get to know each other. This is Mr. Sun, the doctor of the Wu Xuan Qing Dynasty. He and his commander, Mr. Qi Ge, are from the same country." Chai Ke pulled Feng Ziying into the meeting hall.
There are already many people in the hall, including Zheng Chongjian, Wang Yingxiong and Yang Sichang.
Feng Ziying's eyes fell on this red-faced and bushy-bearded man. This was Sun Chengzong, the emperor's master of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, the god of war? "Feng Keng has met Mr. Sun."
"Master Feng, you don't have to be polite. I have heard about Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. Today I got what I wanted." Sun Chengzong has a heroic and tenacious temperament. There are many people who admire him, and there are also many people who are dissatisfied with him.
"Okay, Zhisheng, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Chai Ke waved his hand, "Ziying, this is Mr. Yuan, the doctor in the staff department."
Yuan Keli was another famous general in the Ming Dynasty in his previous life. Feng Ziying did not dare to neglect him, so he also gave him a courtesy.
"Haha, Yuan has heard of Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan for as long as Zhisheng. Brother Zishu also often praised Ziying's talents. I told Brother Zishu that Ziying should be kept in our military department. How can we do that?
Put it down and waste your time?" Yuan Keli was upright and upright, and his voice was metallic and sonorous.
"How can Ziying be worthy of Mr. Chai's love? However, Ziying doesn't think that the local area is a waste. When Li Qinggong was a promotion official in Suzhou, he was famous for his talents. Ziying is not talented, but he also wants to imitate...
…”
Feng Ziying's words made Yuan Keli laugh, stroking his beard and shaking his head.
On the side, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. No wonder Xiao Feng Xiuzuan stood out. This was not only his political talent, but also his ability to serve as an official. He was like a veteran in officialdom in his thirties and forties.
He expressed his attitude calmly and praised Yuan Keli. People like Yuan Keli who were not easy to deal with couldn't help but smile.
Chai Ke also smiled. Why didn't he want Feng Ziying to stay? But Feng Ziying was so popular at that time that it had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the scholars in the North. It was a wise move to leave the capital to avoid the limelight temporarily until she could make achievements in the local area.
Returning to Beijing was just a matter of course.
And now it seems that this guy has turned upside down in Yongping Mansion, which shows his ambition. Chai Ke can even vaguely feel that Feng Ziying seems to be cooperating with Ji Liao's actions, but as the left minister of the Ministry of War, he is happy to see it.
Its success.
"Okay, Zhisheng, Minister Li, Mr. Zhang will be here soon. At noon, Mr. Zhang and the cabinet ministers have had a discussion on the Mongolian left wing and the military situation in the southwest. They agreed that the current situation is serious and needs to be dealt with seriously. The Ministry of War must immediately
Come up with an overall study and analysis of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, including but not limited to the situation outside the Pass and the southwest. In addition to the overall situation, you must also have a detailed explanation of each part, and then the overall and branch response strategies. This strategy
It will be taken out the day after tomorrow at the latest. Maybe everyone will have to work harder these days..."
Chai Ke looked around and said, "I invited Ziying. Everyone may be a little surprised, but Li Qing, Chu Cai and people from the Ministry of War's Staff Department may know something about the Ningxia Rebellion four years ago.
Half a year ago, Ziying talked to me and Chu Cai about the situation in Ningxia. He believed that if Ningxia Town did not make fundamental adjustments and supplements in terms of personnel and food, there would definitely be trouble. He also specifically pointed out the relationship between foreign generals and Han generals.
The conflict between the general and the sergeants below was thought to be the focus of the outbreak. Half a year later, everyone knew..."
"This time Yang Kedong defected from the southwest, and the situation in Bozhou deteriorated sharply. Ziying mentioned it to Fei Xiong, Dazhang and others who were still observing politics in the Ministry of War more than a year ago. The two also reported to Chu Cai and Li Qing,
After I learned about it, I discussed it with Mr. Zhang, and I’m ashamed to say that we thought there might be some risks, but they weren’t serious enough..., but now..."
