Chapter 1612: Renzijuan Thunderbolt lags behind
"I don't know." Qin Keqing shook his head in confusion and pain, "What significance does my attitude mean? He just remembered such an incident and wanted to remind him. In fact, if I go south instead of south, it is not good for him. It’s nothing to worry about, I’m afraid he doesn’t have that much energy to pay attention to these trivial things.”
"But you decided not to go south, and even persuaded Brother Rong not to go south?" Feng Ziying said calmly: "It was your mother who gave you the advice. What is the basis?"
"No." Qin Keqing's face became more complicated, "I don't know whether I should believe it or not, but since my father-in-law has gone south and he has not forced Brother Rong to go south with him, I feel that maybe there has been an arrangement there, or maybe I don’t even have confidence,…”
Hearing Qin Keqing's last words, Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't have confidence?"
"Since they don't even have absolute confidence in themselves, how can they make others willing to make such a desperate move with them? If they all have this kind of mentality, then the risk of failure in this kind of thing is probably greater, right?" Qin Keqing said quietly: " I don’t understand them either, but I know how many people can have the so-called determination and perseverance to abandon everything and take risks for an illusory wish without being forced to the point of having no way out?”
"It's like before I was born, although I was scared, helpless, confused, and wanted to know my life experience and secrets, but now I can live a peaceful life in this small courtyard with a piece of pure land where no one will disturb me. , are unwilling to pick up the tulle behind which they don’t know what the result will be, just because they are afraid that everything will be shattered and they will never be able to return to their previous comfort..."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but feel a little moved. This woman was really wise. She could actually make a judgment on such a matter by understanding people's hearts.
That's right, people are born to be content with the status quo. As long as they can get by, who is willing to risk their lives with their heads in their hands?
But the people who decide these things are often not the middle and lower class people who want to live a good life, but the careerists with endless greed.
Prince Yi Zhong was unwilling to be a prince for twenty years but ended up with nothing. People like Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng were unwilling to accept that the old Wuxun family, which was once prosperous and covered the sky with one hand, was gradually marginalized by Emperor Yonglong. Tang Binyin , Gu Tianjun, Jia Jing and Zhen Yingjia were dissatisfied with the fact that the original status of the Jiangnan gentry over the gentry in the North, including Huguang, during the Emperor's era, was broken, and the court was still "squeezing" their interests continuously. Everyone was They are dissatisfied and unwilling to give up, but what about the real common people in the middle and lower classes? They have no say, and regardless of victory or defeat, in the end, they are the ones who endure the hardship.
So everything that should happen must continue to happen.
Qin Keqing's words obviously still have some reservations. It should be that his perfunctory treatment of this woman before made the other party have some doubts and worries, but he didn't expect that Jia Rong actually listened to this woman's words, or Jia Rong himself had not made up his mind. Just make up your mind and trust this woman.
“Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law, is your choice also a risk?” Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, but it is a choice of weighing the lesser of two evils." Qin Keqing replied calmly: "The person who came to send a message said that since the Jia family and the Feng family are so close, they should make a choice with the Feng family. ,…”
Feng Ziying couldn't hold it back anymore, laughed, and said in a teasing tone: "Who is this, trusting our Feng family so much? This makes me a little scared."
Qin Keqing looked at Feng Ziying and said, "Uncle Feng, maybe it's not just you, but also the Feng family behind you."
Feng Ziying's face tightened, "Is this what you thought of, or did I bring a message to you?"
Qin Keqing didn't say anything for a long time, just lowered his head, and after a while, he said leisurely: "I can feel it myself."
Feng Ziying was shocked. She was not that capable. Besides, she had a small reputation in the capital, and she had some vision and strategy. However, it would be a bit exaggerated to say how much influence she had in this kind of matter. It seemed that people were still optimistic about her. Dad.
Feng Ziying does not feel any loss or jealousy.
The Feng family represented by my father has been deeply involved in Datong for decades. The combination of Feng and Duan, officials and gentry, can be regarded as the most powerful family alliance in Datong.
More than half of the generals in Datong Town have some relationship with the Feng family. They have either served under the eldest uncle, second uncle or father, or have been favored by the Duan family of the Feng family, or simply are the eldest uncle, second uncle and father. Pulled up with one hand.
Of course, the Feng family is not without its weaknesses. The Feng family has only a few heirs and has no successors in the army. This is its biggest shortcoming, and it is even an unsolvable shortcoming.
But having said that, if this were not the case, I am afraid that my father would have become a target of suppression and restraint by the court.
Fortunately, I took the path of a civil servant, otherwise my father would never have been able to become the governor of Jiliao, let alone return to the northwest to serve as the governor of the three sides. That would have ensured that my father would eventually become a warrior. , he only had an only son, and he also took the path of a civil servant, so he no longer posed much of a threat to the court.
But now the father is indeed an existence that no one can ignore. Feng Ziying even suspects that some people have noticed or know that the father is conducting exercises in Qingyang on the ministries of the four northwest towns in the name of eliminating the old and the weak and reorganizing the elite. , many people are probably also wondering about the purpose and intention of the court. After all, you can quickly enter Henan from the east of Qingyang. Whether you go north to the capital or south to Huguang, it is relatively convenient.
Except for the northwest, Datong Town and Jiliao Town all have the shadow of Dad or the Feng family. No one can avoid it. Even Niu Jizong has to consider whether he wants to fight against Xuan Da, Datong and Ji Liao. How the town meeting reacted.
No wonder people are keeping an eye on the Feng family's movements. If you are confident, it means that the Feng family is well prepared, and even other people in the court will come to test it out.
Seeing Qin Keqing lowering his head but not saying anything, Feng Ziying didn't know how to deal with this scene for a while.
However, what is certain is that all forces in Beijing and China should start to take action. Those who are a little better informed should realize that after the fall of Tiefangshan, the DPRK situation will usher in a big change.
The first thing is that the emperor’s selection of a heir apparent, or the kings’ fight to win the heir apparent, is about to officially begin. Unlike in the past, everyone has to hide their words and be ashamed. This competition will probably be extremely fierce, and even unscrupulous.
The second is the movements of Prince Yoshitaka.
Once the crown prince is confirmed, it actually completely eradicates Prince Yohitada's remaining illusion of "brothers will eventually become brothers" from another perspective. Although this idea may have never been seen by the emperor, it still exists in the minds of some people. Yes, after all, there was a precedent for the Ming Dynasty Seizing the Gate incident, although the circumstances were slightly different.
The huge force behind Prince Yitada is facing a fundamental severance, and is bound to react violently. The same court, that is, the emperor seems to have been waiting for this moment. As long as the other party makes the slightest move, it can be used in the name of orthodoxy. The next step was to completely eliminate this hidden danger with a thunderous force.
With all the forces entangled together, the entire political situation will be turbulent. Everyone is waiting to see which direction the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will turn.
Feng Ziying has become more and more convinced that there may be some tacit understanding between Emperor Yonglong, the cabinet and even the Ministry of War. As his physical condition deteriorates, Prince Yi Zhong is in extremely good health, and even the Supreme Emperor is still in good health. Coupled with Jiangnan's clamor, if the threat of Prince Yi Zhong is not resolved in advance, I am afraid that once Emperor Yonglong dies, it will trigger a chaos that may end the throne of Emperor Yonglong Zhang Shen.
But this is just a guess made by Feng Ziying, even though all signs point to his suspicion.
But Jia Jing faked his death and went south, Jia Zhen sold off his assets, and even Niu Jizong wooed Sun Shaozu to establish a layout in Datong, Long Jinwei turned a blind eye, Wang Ziteng's performance in Huguang, the disputes between the Nanjing Seven Ministries and the imperial court, the clamor of the Jiangnan gentry, the emperor Both the government and the imperial court behaved extremely weakly, which was eye-catching.
This does not look like Emperor Yonglong's tactics. You must know that in the past few years during the Ningxia rebellion and the anti-corruption storm in Zhejiang, Emperor Yonglong behaved very decisively and ruthlessly, but this time he was so indecisive. It was really because Is it because of physical energy?
"In that case, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, you all value my Feng family so much, and I have nothing to say." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "You go down first, I'm going to talk to Brother Rong."
Qin Keqing raised her head and said, "Uncle Feng, although there are many things wrong with the Jia family, I have been in the Feng family for so many years, and they have treated me with some kindness, so I don't want to see the Jia family really I have been reduced to the point of no return. Please ask Uncle Feng to take care of you in the future..."
Feng Ziying glanced at Qin Keqing and said, "I'm afraid there are some things I am powerless to do, but I will do my best."
Qin Keqing went down, but Jia Rong came in with salivation on his face, "Master."
"Tell me, your father ran away, but you wanted to stay, and you just listened to Qin's advice? What do you think?" Feng Ziying didn't believe that Jia Rong was so brainless. This guy should still be a little clever. Hui Hui believed it just because of Qin's words.
Jia Rong looked straight and bowed her head solemnly: "This is what my grandfather requested in a private letter to his nephew. My nephew just obeyed."
