Chapter 1228 The super hidden danger of Gengzi scroll
Feng Ziying felt so refreshed after her sleep that she even had the urge to lie in bed and rest for a while. It was also a holiday anyway, and she wanted to relax herself so that her nerves would not be too tight and too hard.
It's just that the more you want to relax, the less relaxed you will be. Before he could make up his mind whether to get up or not, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the study.
As soon as Feng Ziying heard the sound of footsteps, she knew something was up, and the only one who could disturb her at this time was the Ministry of War.
As expected, Baoxiang ran in panting and informed the left minister of the Ministry of War that he had summoned him to go to the official mansion of the Ministry of War to discuss military affairs immediately.
Feng Ziying knew that she was a newlywed, but she still came to cause trouble. Feng Ziying guessed that it was not a particularly urgent matter, and she would not come to her, but what if she came to find herself?
I am not a god, and I can't spread the beans into an army. I can only give some ideas.
Wherever there is a flaw, it is also the court's own problem. In fact, everyone knows that many problems will occur sooner or later, but they are unable to solve them. They can only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and treat the headache and the foot. Wherever the most urgent problem is, there will be no solution. Fill it in first and deal with it.
Hearing that Feng Ziying was about to go out, Baochai and Baoqin followed him out.
"It's okay. Mr. Chai from the Ministry of War is asking for help. I have no choice but to go. If it's someone else, I can push it away. But most of the matters at the Ministry of War involve military affairs in the border areas or the war situation in the southwest. Although my husband is a fellow magistrate of Yongping Mansion, , but first of all, he is an official of the imperial court, and it is his duty to serve the imperial court by taking care of its worries."
When Baochai and Baoqin heard that the left minister of the Ministry of War was urgently calling for help, they naturally understood that it must be an urgent military matter, and they thought of their husbands first. This was undoubtedly an honor. Even if the husband was not in his position, they still remained loyal and never looked back. , which makes the two girls proud and proud.
“Official matters are important, so my husband can just go. I and Baoqin are waiting for my husband at home. Master Chai must be considerate of my husband’s difficulties. Today is an auspicious day for Baoqin, so don’t forget it..."
The first half of the sentence was spoken by Baochai in a tactful tone, but the second half of the sentence was inevitably a bit joking. Feng Ziying was naturally thick-skinned and didn't care, but Bao Qin was teased by Baochai until her face turned red and her beautiful eyes were filled with affection. He could tightly hold his sister's arm and shake her.
This shake affected Baochai's inconvenience. Baochai also took a breath of cold air, which made Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing: "Sister, you should go back to your room and rest quickly. My husband is still on vacation after all, so this voluntary help is enough fun." , There will be no delay, tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on my way back, my husband and Baoqin haven’t met again before the golden wind and jade dew,..."
Qin Guan's words were used by Feng Ziying at this time, which was inevitably a bit explicit. Besides, they were all a family, and Bao Qin was so ashamed that he covered his face with his sleeves and stamped his feet in anger.
Feng Ziying also knew that what she said was a bit too much, so she quickly restrained herself and said, "Well, you two sisters, please go back to your room quickly. My husband will be back as soon as possible..."
As he said this, Feng Ziying ran away, leaving behind the two daughters Baochai and Baoqin, as well as the two girls Ying'er and Lingguan.
"Sister, you said that my husband is not good at poetry, but why are you so familiar with Qin Guan's poems? I heard that my husband often wrote good poems at Qingtan Academy and the Enrong Banquet, but he refused to admit that he wrote them... "
Bao Qin looked at the background of Feng Ziying's disappearance. He had just taken off the wide sleeves that covered his face, supported Baochai and asked.
"After more than ten years of hard study, how can there be a scholar in the Hanlin Academy who doesn't understand poetry? My husband's tutor is Mr. Qi Ge!" Baochai was very sure, "It's just that my husband is better at discussing current policies, and he feels that this poem is the most important thing in the world." Military affairs are of no use, so I don't want to spend more time on them. Otherwise, how can I not be good at it with my talent?"
"My sister is right, my husband is born to do great things. There is no need to spend too much thought on it. Occasionally a good sentence is enough to convince everyone." Baoqin also agreed, "The fate of everyone in the world is definitely not a few poems. Changes in endowment can only be achieved by relying on national policies,..."
After the Mei family broke off their engagement, she was even more disgusted with those pedantic scholars. Moreover, in comparison, Mei Hanlin was only a fifth-rank official in Shuntian Mansion, and the one she wanted to marry was just his concubine. Although she now She was a concubine, but she was also given the concubine to Feng Ziying, who was also in the fifth rank. Everyone knew that Feng Ziying's official career was much brighter than that of Mei Zhiye, not to mention that his concubine himself was a mediocre person.
If the Prime Minister can really join the cabinet and worship the Prime Minister in the future, then countless people will know how wise and correct their choice will be.
The Ministry of War and the Zongren Mansion are far away from each other, both close to East Chang'an Street. On the right is Luan Jiaku, and further on is Feng Ziying's earliest working place - the Hanlin Academy.
This area is opposite the Sheji Altar and the Ancestral Temple, and is squeezed between Yongfang and Nanxunfang of Dashi. Basically, it is where all the departments of Dazhou are located, including the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Taichang Temple, General Affairs Department, Longzheng Envoy, etc. In addition to the other five of the six departments of the Ministry of Justice, there are also Honglu Temple, Qintian Prison, Zongren Mansion, Luan Jiaku, Imperial Medicine Storehouse, Taiyuan Hospital, Shanglinyuanjian, Hanlin Academy, and Zhanshifudu. Gathered here.
The Ministry of War's mansion is actually not very big. Except for the office areas of the four divisions on both sides, the main hall in the middle and the adjacent two rows of houses are where the ministers, ministers and other officials have their offices.
Comparing the tense atmosphere when he came to the Ministry of War last time, although he saw people coming and going this time, the expressions of the officials who came and went did not show much anxiety and fear, and Feng Ziying felt much more at ease.
Feng Ziying was quite happy when she met Wang Yingxiong head-on: "Feixiong, when did you come back? I didn't see you yesterday..."
Wang Yingxiong apologized first, and then said: "I just returned to Beijing last night. I didn't remember to catch up with your happy event. I was called here by all the adults early this morning to discuss the military situation. I'm afraid you don't know that Shuixi'an's family seems to be here too." Together with Yang Yinglong and the Yongshun She family, this rebellion will probably spread to the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Huguang."
Although it was expected, Feng Ziying's heart still sank. Yesterday, Lian Guoshi and Yang Sichang took the time to briefly mention the matter to him. At that time, he was just worried that the Shuixi'an family would get involved, but now it has been implemented.
The strength of the An family in Shuixi is not inferior to that of the Yang family in Bozhou. Once the An family is involved, the entire Guizhou will be in danger. Guizhou only began to change its land and return it to its flow in the pre-Ming Dynasty. The situation itself is very complicated. The land of flow is intertwined. If Guizhou is once in chaos , which will inevitably affect the entire southern Sichuan and western Huguang, which will be a big trouble.
These three are just the strongest among the southwest chieftains, and there are even more small chieftains. They mainly depend on the attitude of these big chieftains. Once Dazhou cannot show the strength to suppress these big chieftains, These little toasts will immediately turn towards the big toasts.
“This is expected, Master Zhang and Master Chai should both be prepared.” Feng Ziying comforted Wang Yingxiong. Wang Yingxiong was from Chongqing. Once these three chieftains all participated in the rebellion, Chongqing would be in danger.
"It's not just that." Wang Yingxiong had a strange look on his face, as if he was considering something.
"What's the matter, Feixiong? Is there anything else you can hide from me?" Feng Ziying pretended to be displeased.
"Ziying, I went to the southwest this time and visited a lot of places. I went to visit Brother Chucai, Mr. Sun and Yang Wenruo's father. I felt thick calluses on my feet. I also learned a lot about the people in the country. There was nothing that I could not see or hear in the capital city, so I reported to the minister and several other doctors when I came back."
Wang Yingxiong shook his head solemnly: "I have lived in my hometown for so many years, but I have never felt that it is so complicated. Now I feel that the people under the rule of the chieftain are miserable, and the people are still miserable under the rule of the official. It turns out that there are still some misunderstandings. After this trip..., the local people, especially those from Miao Yao, showed no loyalty to the imperial court, and even became extremely hostile and hateful..."
Feng Ziying understood the meaning of Wang Yingxiong's words, that is, the imperial government's governance in the southwest was relatively poor or even failed. These rebellious chieftains in the southwest were largely the result of the imperial court's inability to govern this area and the failure of governance. If the imperial court could not If this battle is won, Yunnan and Guizhou may become like Jiugang, Babaidadian, and Dagula in the pre-Ming Dynasty in the future, gradually losing control.
“This is not surprising. The process of reforming the country is a step-by-step process. It can only be promoted when the time is ripe. If it is not pushed forward forcefully before it is mature, it will cause chaos.”
Feng Ziying is very open-minded about this issue. Only when the agricultural and industrial and commercial economies of the Zhou Dynasty have developed to a certain stage and formed a crushing gap for the ethnic minority areas in these border areas, will they gradually be overtaken by these advanced and developed economies. They are attracted by models and business transactions, and then accept these advanced scientific things.
“But now the chaos has become a reality. The great chaos in the southwest is inevitable. If the imperial court loses this battle..."
Wang Yingxiong's depression surprised Feng Ziying. He didn't seem to give up easily when encountering setbacks. He said, "Feixiong, what's wrong with you? Besides, the chaos is nothing more than prolonging the time and making the court pay more." , don’t you still believe that the imperial court can’t win over these rabble?”
"A mob? Not necessarily, Ziying." Wang Yingxiong shook his head, hesitated for a long time, and then lowered his voice: "I suspect that the Denglai army is deliberately avoiding the battle, and even has some kind of tacit understanding with these chieftains!"
One stone stirred up thousands of waves. Even though Feng Ziying was calm, she was also confused by this sentence: "Feixiong, do you have evidence?! This can't be false!"
"Of course not. If there were, I would have reported it to the two adults long ago." Wang Yingxiong said harshly: "I just have a feeling that the behavior of the Denglai Army is too weird, but if you want to find a reason to explain those situations, it makes sense. , but that would be too many coincidences.”
This bad mood lasted until Feng Ziying returned home in the evening and saw the two beauties of Baochai and Baoqin.
