Chapter 1729 Renzijuan’s teaching
"Oh? Did the unit that attacked Sihaizhi in Ji Town encounter the Chahar people?" Feng Ziying perked up and seemed to have achieved a good result. Otherwise, Zhang Huaichang would not have such an attitude, "What a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence!" Zhang Huaichang snorted, "Niu Jizong is really bold and crazy. He actually mobilized all the troops on the front line of Yanqing Prefecture, leaving only less than 3,000 people, and they were all placed in the rear. By opening up the defenses, we really let the Chahar people do whatever they want."
Feng Ziying was silent. This was not crazy, but intentional. Everyone understood it. Otherwise, how could the Chahar people choose the place to break through and enter so accurately at this time without being fully prepared?
Since we are going to fall out anyway, let's do something more thorough and let the Chahar people come in to create more trouble for the Jizhen Army and also make it easier for the Xuanfu Army to act more freely.
“How is the war situation now?” Feng Ziying was more concerned about the situation of Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu.
The original suggestion given to You Shigong was to let these two fire gun troops secretly camp the Xuanfu Army. The consideration was that they were both too young and lacked qualifications. They had to work hard to get to the position on this wall. I don’t know if they would wait until the end of the year of the monkey. , there is such an opportunity, although the risk is high, once it succeeds, the big bosses above will remember the two of them. Unexpectedly, these two people really ran into a good thing. They did not catch up with the Xuanfu army, but they also gave Chaha We bumped into it.
"Generals Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu reacted quickly enough and set up an ambush on the road from Sihai Administration to Yongning. They gave the Chahar people a head-on attack. The Chahar people suffered heavy losses. They probably thought they had been tricked by Niu Jizong. , and quickly retreated."
Zhang Huaichang couldn't help but laugh when he said this. It was true. He rushed in excitedly, but was ambushed and beaten up. How could he be like this if he didn't mean it?
The three of them entered Wenyuan Pavilion just like that.
All the other four cabinet ministers arrived except Li Tingji. Li Tingji fell ill when he came back because he was overworked due to traveling long distances and was already old.
Seeing Feng Ziying come in, several people's eyes fell on Feng Ziying and turned around, but the flavor contained in each person's eyes was different.
Qi Yongtai's eyes showed satisfaction and approval with a bit of worry and emotion. Ye Xianggao's eyes were much more complicated, throbbing and a little worried. Fang Congzhe's eyes were a bit more intriguing and curious, and Li Sancai's eyes were more... Appreciation mixed with a bit of inexplicable jealousy.
It was Ye Xianggao who broke the silent deadlock and nodded kindly: "Ziying is here. Well, you just came back yesterday. Logically speaking, you should be given a day off to rest and recuperate. But you also know that the current situation is not good. Everyone I can’t even relax, many things are still waiting to be decided and implemented, and there is a reason why I called you here.”
According to common sense, it would not be Feng Ziying's turn to come here to participate in such discussions. However, Zhang Huaichang's suggestion, Xu Dahua's second opinion, and the considerations of several cabinet elders based on their different perspectives and mentality, made Meng Lang act so abruptly. Feng Ziying was called.
Qi Yongtai frowned. To his disciple, he was not as polite as Ye Xianggao, "Ziying, I called you here, not because of how far-sighted you are, nor how capable you are of strategizing. It's mainly because of you." When you are young, unlike us who are old, you have inherent rules and regulations when considering many things. You dare not easily break out of these constraints, so you are restrained when doing things. Every time you fall behind, you don't have so many constraints, and you think about things more carefully. Don't worry, Ye Xiang and the others have agreed to recruit you, and that's the intention. Don't forget about yourself and don't know how much you weigh."
"Chengfeng, how can you be like this, teaching students and solving doubts..." Fang Congzhe also laughed, "Ziying, don't be frightened by his words. Instead, you will lose the purpose of calling you here. We just want to hear your opinions and suggestions on some things, well, you don’t need to be restrained, just say it.”
Feng Ziying was a little confused. She couldn't help but want to scratch her head, but she was wearing an official hat. She could only take back her hand and rub it on her face. Then she said: "Reporting to you gentlemen, students don't dare to be presumptuous. Previously, it was just They act arbitrarily based on a little cleverness, but when all the gentlemen are here, how can it be the students' turn to be arrogant?"
Qi Yongtai said with a serious face, "Okay, you don't need to bow your head and act modest in front of us. I heard that you are quite generous in doing things outside. Why did you change your temper all of a sudden?"
After being scolded twice by Qi Yongtai, Feng Ziying could only lower her head and remain silent and endure it.
Ye Xianggao didn't bother to watch the quarrel between the teacher and the student. The matter was urgent at the moment, and there were no examples to learn from. In other words, the examples that could be used for reference were all very detrimental to his own side. The "Battle of Jingnan" and the The final result of the "gate-stealing change" is the collapse of the old system and the demise of the original people in power. This is absolutely unacceptable to them.
The current situation is somewhat similar to the "Battle of Jingnan" and the "Change of Seizing the Gate", but no matter which one it is, it is not good for everyone here, so what we have to do is how to break the situation, but we must avoid it. those potential risks.
After all, the situation is somewhat different from the "Battle of Jingnan" and "Change of Seizing the Gate". There is also an extra emperor who has been silent but has huge influence. His attitude directly determines other civil servants in the court. manner.
You must know that it has only been less than ten years since the Supreme Emperor abdicated. Although the cabinet ministers and ministers like me all rose up in the hands of the current emperor, they still started in the hands of Emperor Yuanxi, and there are more such as Yuanwailang, Many of the chief ministers, as well as the chief envoys and envoys in other places, including the envoys for punishment and inspection, were all promoted by Emperor Yuanxi. What if he suddenly expressed his support for Prince Yi Zhong?
"Ziying, Zishu mentioned to me that you are worried that Prince Yi Zhong will directly declare that he will supervise the country and reorganize the cabinet, and may even announce that the capital will be moved to Nanjing?" Ye Xianggao asked in a deep voice: "Why do you think so?"
It is true that after Chai Ke told Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe about Feng Ziying's worries, it caused great uneasiness among them.
They had never thought that Prince Yoshitaka might have such a move before. They thought that if the emperor remained awake, Prince Yoshitaka might insist on supervising the country and even put forward some compromise conditions, such as identifying a certain prince and crown prince first, and then When he comes to supervise the country again, will he give up this idea after Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army failed to advance eastward? But now it seems that he really underestimated the ambition of Prince Yi Zhong.
But at the same time, they felt that it was impossible for Prince Yi Zhong to have such a bold and rebellious idea. After all, the military power in Jiangnan was extremely weak. If that was true, then there would really only be a "Jingnan Campaign", but at that time, the Northern Expedition The direction of south remains unchanged, but the outcome between uncle and nephew will be reversed.
“My dear friends, it’s not why students think so, but there are many clues pointing in this direction!” Feng Ziying said calmly.
Everyone frowned. Although there were some signs, it didn't seem to be as exaggerated as Feng Ziying said.
"Tang Binyin, Miao Changqi, Zhu Guozhen and Gu Tianjun were unwilling to come to Beijing to serve as officials, but you compromised and allowed them to stay in Nanjing and govern as they wished. Nanjing's newspapers were overwhelmingly campaigning, but Nanjing's Ministry of Rites ignored them. There is still no sign of the taxes being lifted in Jiangnan, and even the Lianghuai salt tax is said to have been delayed..."
Feng Ziying continues to break these people’s illusions.
"Chen Jixian went out to suppress Huaiyang. The students don't know what this means. Maybe the princes think this is normal, or even intentional. But the students want to say that it is easy to change the old people's hearts, but they say that the old people's hearts are easy to change. Maybe there were some people before. The person doesn’t have any ideas, but when the situation reaches a certain point, he may have to consider changing the dock. Even if he has no such idea, the people below him will push him like this..."
Everyone was silent. Chen Jixian had been seeking to take over as the governor of the Beijing camp, but the emperor and the cabinet had not agreed. Finally, they proposed to go out to suppress Huaiyang to appease him, and even agreed that he would take away all the old troops of the Laowu military camp. But does this really make Chen Jixian feel grateful?
The general of the Fifth Military Camp is promoted to the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, but to the general of the Huaiyang Town, it can only be regarded as a level promotion, and it is outside the town. Although Huaiyang is prosperous, for those who want to take a further step in their career , I may not be willing to do it, it can only be regarded as comfort.
Feng Ziying's sentence "It's easy to change the heart of an old friend, but it's easy to change the heart of an old friend" also shocked everyone present and chewed it carefully. This poem is not simple. Read it carefully again and again. The more you read, the more interesting it becomes. Even It diluted the impact of Feng Ziying's words.
Feng Ziying didn't think so much, and just wanted to finish her point of view: "Looking at the Chahar people's sneaking into the wall and the performance of the Xuanfu army, it is obvious that they have been prepared to go south. Student I'm thinking that even now it's too late for the princes to capture Prince Yohitada to avoid future troubles."
Li Sancai frowned, "There was news from Long Jinwei this morning. Prince Yi Zhong should still be there."
"Is Captain Long so reliable?" Feng Ziying shrugged her nose, disapproving, "Just use a blind trick and set up a substitute. Prince Yizhong can't do it for three to five days, right? He has such a deliberate plan. For years.”
Feng Ziying’s unceremonious judgment made everyone frown. This was too arbitrary, but it could not be said that it was impossible.
