Chapter 1392 Xinzijuan’s rebirth
“I didn’t expect that Sun Shaozu would still be promising. He would be able to become the deputy commander-in-chief in the next three to five years.” Feng Ziying rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
He also overheard You Shigong mention Sun Shaozu's promotion to deputy commander, but when asked why Sun Shaozu was promoted, You Shigong didn't know much. He only said that Sun Shaozu did have a good way of leading troops, and he was able to fight a war. Lai Ye is very desperate, bold and cruel, very good at making money, and his methods are clever.
This guy is also willing to spend money, and all his subordinates are very convinced. At the same time, he also manages all aspects in place. Of course, there are many people who hate him, such as the caravan that specifically goes there.
But being promoted to deputy commander-in-chief does not just rely on money or good management. The Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War must go through the pass.
Given the temperament of Yuan Keli, the military commander, it would be difficult for a person with Sun Shaozu's character to be able to lead troops in war.
There are many generals who can lead troops to fight in Bianguan. Unless they are directly appointed by the emperor or directly decided by the Minister of War, even Zuo Shilang Xu Dahua will have a hard time getting Yuan Keli to nod.
But whether it was Emperor Yonglong’s intention or Zhang Huaichang’s idea is unknown.
In any case, this guy has some abilities. Climbing to the position of deputy commander is enough to get him into the eyes of the senior officials of the Ministry of War and even the cabinet ministers. Moreover, the key point is that this guy is less than forty years old, which is very rare in Jiubian. Among the ten deputy generals, they can definitely be regarded as young and strong.
“He is now Shi Nai’s immediate superior, and Shi Nai is said to be very unpopular among the Datong Army. He has made many mistakes, and Sun Shaozu has taken advantage of him..."
Wang Xifeng didn't care much about the joints inside, and only talked about the relationship between Shi Nai and Sun Shaozu, "Then Shi Nai jumped over the wall in a hurry, panicked, and first found my uncle..."
“How can Duke Zi Teng manage to come so far away in Huguang?” Feng Ziying suddenly realized, “So he asked Jia She to come forward to help, because of the second sister?”
"That's not the case. My uncle only said that he was in Huguang and had no time to take care of it. Jia She heard about this matter from somewhere, probably from Shi Ding, so he tried his best to say that he could handle the matter for Shi Nai... "
Before Wang Xifeng finished speaking, Feng Ziying answered with a smile: "But do you want some money to spend?"
"Huh, you know him well, but Jia She didn't mention it this time. He said that it would be best if he could let Yun Yatou marry Sun Shaozu, and he went to discuss it with brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding. The two brothers Nai and Shi Ding also thought it was appropriate. They could befriend Sun Shaozu and wipe out all the trouble they had with Sun Shaozu. Jia She was even willing to lend Shi Ding a sum of money to pay off his gambling debt, so they hit it off immediately..."
Feng Ziying was greatly surprised, "How could Uncle Pardon be so generous? He could actually lend money to Shi Ding to pay off his gambling debt? Could it be that he was planning to get it back from Sun Shaozu?"
"Humph, how much money did Jia She take from Sun Shaozu? Now he has found a better family for Sun Shaozu. After all, Yun Yatou is the legitimate daughter of Baolinghou and Zhongjing Hou. In terms of status, she is definitely better than Er Yatou. There are few, and the Shi family still has some influence in the army, so of course Sun Shaozu is willing to replace Yun Yatou."
Wang Xifeng glanced at Feng Ziying again: "I'm afraid it's because of you that Jia She did this. Now that he's seeing you rising, he wants to get on top of you, but he doesn't want to offend Sun Shaozu. Well, maybe it's because Sun Shaozu doesn't want to give up the money. , so he came up with such a sinister trick. Li Daitaojiang also pleased you and saved money. If you want to take the second girl as your concubine, if he doesn't squeeze tens of thousands of taels of silver out of you, I will follow Your last name!"
This spicy energy has a bit of spicy flavor. Feng Ziying couldn't help but glance at the undulating body under the thin blanket. She couldn't help but feel a little hot in her heart and felt a little uncomfortable in a certain part.
As if feeling the fiery aura in Feng Ziying's eyes, Wang Xifeng immediately retracted her legs, pulled up the thin blanket, and sat up straighter, so as not to arouse the other party's evil intentions.
Feng Ziying also felt the other party's vigilance and smiled. She had tasted it several times, but when she thought of that rich and moist body, and the enchanting but unruly appearance of her crotch, Feng Ziying felt like her bones were shaking. A bit crispy.
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but snorted softly, "Ping'er, our ancestors don't know about this yet, but Yun Yatou may have heard some rumors from her two aunts. Today I saw her eyes were swollen like peaches. , the spirit is also weak, the third girl seems to still be comforting,..."
"I'm afraid that our ancestors will know about it sooner or later. Miss Yun is also very filial and doesn't want to trouble our ancestors with this matter. Our ancestors are getting older and their energy is not as good as before, but..." Ping'er shook his head: "And he is older. The master will not give up, and the second girl's matter is also related to the master, how can the ancestors not understand the whole story?"
Of course, Jia Mu and Shi Xiangyun are definitely not willing, but Shi Xiangyun and even Jia Mu do not have much say in Shi Xiangyun's marriage. If brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding are determined to marry Shi Xiangyun to Sun Shaozu, then I am afraid that this matter No one can stop it.
The key is that this matter seems to have something to do with me, and it's even for my own sake. Don't I just want to take Yingchun as my concubine? Now as long as we have a good deal with Jia She, we will basically have no worries.
“This matter is really tricky, now it’s confirmed?” Feng Ziying frowned.
"That's not the case yet. The problem is that Jia She is so active in getting involved. Shi Nai and Shi Ding already have leverage in Sun Shaozu's hands, and it is profitable. Sun Shaozu is also willing to do it. Can the ancestors stop it?" Wang Xifeng sneered: " With the current situation in the Rongguo Mansion, I think our ancestors are becoming more and more unable to suppress Jia She. Look at the Xing family, their arrogance has also become arrogant. This thing about Girl Yun is difficult!"
"That means that Uncle Shi Shi is just pulling the strings, and the Sun family hasn't proposed marriage to the Shi family yet?" Feng Ziying asked again: "Since Shi Nai is under Sun Shaozu, as long as the two parties agree, Sun Shaozu can directly propose to Shi Nai. Nai proposes marriage."
"That's what I said, but I guess Mr. Shi still wants to ask for the opinion of the ancestor. After all, Yun Yatou has been living here in Rongguo Mansion for so many years, and the ancestor treats her like his own granddaughter, both in terms of etiquette and Emotionally, I'm afraid the two masters of the Shi family have to come and talk to their ancestors." Ping'er's explanation was also reasonable.
Feng Ziying is also thinking about how she should deal with this matter.
From a rational point of view, of course he did not want to see a girl as bold and free-spirited as Shi Xiangyun fall into the clutches of Sun Shaozu.
Well, he didn’t have much impression of Sun Shaozu, but he was able to gain a foothold in the military and colluded with Jia She to sell the embargoed materials of the Great Zhou Dynasty outside the Great Wall. It can be imagined that this guy is not bad at skills, but his bottom line is not high.
Of course, it is a common phenomenon for caravans to sell embargoed materials to the Mongols and Jurchens at the border, even when my father was in Datong and Yulin, but this needs to have a clear limit.
Although supplies such as grain and salt are also embargoed, as long as it is not wartime, they can be sold if they turn a blind eye to the selling point. However, weapons and armor are absolutely not allowed.
But as far as he knew, Sun Shaozu went far beyond the bottom line, and even some Long Jinwei who were responsible for monitoring the movements of border generals were dragged into the water.
Jia Lian vaguely mentioned that he had been to Ping'an Prefecture several times on Jia She's orders, twice to **** goods, nominally grain, but as he later learned, there should be many arrow clusters hidden inside. The other few times were reconciliations with Sun Shaozu.
However, later on, Sun Shaozu seemed to be more vigilant, or perhaps found a more suitable collaborator, and the number of transactions with Jia She decreased, and this kind of business seemed to have slowly stopped.
Moreover, this guy has a dark history. It is said that his ex-wife was often beaten violently by him while drunk, and she eventually died of a long-term illness. There was also a lot of trouble. Her parents were not vegetarians either, and they sued the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. Later, Although the matter was settled, Sun Shaozu's career was still affected to some extent.
If a woman like Shi Xiangyun marries into his family, the consequences can be imagined. This does not mean that she will definitely have a bright future, but she will definitely endure hardships.
But the problem is that I don’t seem to be suitable to intervene from any angle, and there is no reason to intervene.
How can I stop something that even Jia Mu can't stop? Or, in other words, why should I stop it? If I just say a few more words, others will doubt my intentions. Who makes me famous?
Regarding the Yingchun marriage issue, I'm afraid Jia She and his wife have already decided that they are this kind of people. If they still intervene in Shi Xiangyun's affairs, wouldn't they further strengthen their reputation?
Realizing that Wang Xifeng and Heping'er's eyes were on her, Feng Ziying leaned on the pillow and spread her hands: "What are you watching me do? I can only watch this kind of thing. Could it be that I can come forward to tell Uncle Shi Tell him not to get involved? Or go and say hello to Shi Nai and Shi Ding and tell them not to marry Sister Yun to Sun Shaozu?"
Wang Xifeng and Heping'er also sighed. They also knew that this was unreliable. There was no reason and the identity was inappropriate. If it were a girl from the Jia family, Feng Ziying could still ask questions on the grounds of being entrusted by Jia Zheng, but Shi Xiangyun's identity It's different. It's not Feng Ziying's turn to speak out.
"But this matter is not without room for improvement." Feng Ziying was a little disappointed when she saw Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, especially Ping'er who couldn't bear it, and she felt sad in her heart. She was not like this, so she couldn't help it more. A word of mouth.
