Chapter 1822 Ren Zijuan Palace Affairs Zi Ying Ming’s Essence
Lu Song nodded, "I have no intention of interfering with your father's military affairs. It's just a friendly reminder. I believe your father knows this well."
Feng Ziying slightly raised her hands to express her gratitude: "If you have more reminders from adults, I will definitely convey them to my father."
"Getting back to the topic, Ziying, I'm afraid you have heard about the situation inside and outside the palace to some extent in Shuntian Mansion. Although the emperor's health has improved, he has never regained consciousness. The judgment of the imperial doctor is also inconsistent. The cabinet has established a joint supervision of the country by the left and right. Governance, but judging from the current situation, when it comes to governance, I'm afraid..."
Lu Song did not say any more and just shook his head.
Government? What kind of politics are you doing? King Shou and King Lu, one is frivolous, arrogant, uneducated, and the other is young and ignorant, weak and timid. Behind them, Xu Junru and Mei Yuexi are the real operators, but the two women who have lived in the palace for a long time, see How can such people, who make small profits but forget the great righteousness, and have a shallow vision, be able to manage politics?
Feng Ziying was not able to comment on this. With Emperor Yonglong's unconsciousness, the pillar of imperial power quickly collapsed.
Neither King Shou nor King Lu were ready to take on this responsibility at all. They were focused on the brothers who might threaten their future and could only think about how to eradicate the threats and stay on the throne. I have been in that position, but I have never thought about what abilities and responsibilities I need to bear to sit in that position.
For them, maybe they just can't solve the problem, so it's enough to get rid of the people who may be able to do something. No matter who is better than me, but as long as they can't sit in that position, then what's left in the end? The only one who can sit down is himself.
"Master Lu, the emperor's failure to wake up has given everyone unlimited possibilities for daydreams. All the concubines in the palace are not fuel-efficient lamps. Naturally, they cannot give in to each other for the sake of the future of their own prince. Such disputes are inevitable." Feng Ziying said calmly. Authentic: "I shouldn't say these words to a foreign minister like me, but in the position of Shuntian Prime Minister, it is inevitable to come into contact with some people who want to cause trouble, so I have to say that no matter what the current struggle in the palace , I think it is not appropriate for them to get involved in government affairs, and all the ministers in the cabinet can clearly see the whole reason, so there is no need for Mr. Lu to worry about this."
Lu Song's little eyes narrowed slightly.
He did not expect that Feng Ziying would actually say such a thing. The implication was that the people in the palace would be tormented, but they could only be limited to the palace and could not be involved in government affairs. They could even directly involve the people including King Shou and King Lu. Everyone is isolated from government affairs, so what kind of country and government should this supervising country supervise and manage?
Feng Ziying noticed the change in Lu Song's eyes, but remained the same: "Master Lu, do you think my words are a bit excessive? Or do you think the establishment of a supervisory country is meaningless?"
Lu Song smiled softly, "I think Ziying must have some advice."
“The establishment of the Supervisory State is actually just a means to balance the internal and external affairs. In essence, neither King Shou nor King Lu has the ability to supervise the country and manage its affairs. Lord Lu has no objection to this, right?” Feng Ziying asked rhetorically.
Lu Song remained silent.
"Why it was established? It's because it's uncertain whether the emperor can wake up, and the royal family is in chaos. If such an option is not given in time, it may be used by Prince Yoshitaka, in case he declares that he wants to supervise the country's governance. What? In fact, he has already done it, but he was flatly rejected by Ye Gong at that time." Feng Ziying said calmly: "So I gave a response to reject Prince Yi Zhong's idea of causing trouble in the capital and forced him to leave the capital. As for In the future, if King Shou and King Lu can really show their ability to manage politics, they may not be able to take advantage of the situation in the future, but now, I don’t seem to see it.”
Lu Song sighed and still didn't speak.
"Now that the war is imminent, everyone knows that if Shandong cannot be captured by the middle of next year, the imperial court will be in dire straits." Feng Ziying said without hesitation, "The impact of the severe drought in the North will slowly appear, and now it is just the beginning. By the end of spring, which was the most difficult time, the imperial court was unable to solve the problem of filling the stomachs of the victims in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Those victims who had nowhere to go could only take desperate measures. This situation existed in some state capitals in Henan, Beizhi, and Shandong. It's just that the officials below are suppressing the report for their own sake. The court can't take care of it now. But to solve this risk, water transportation must be restored. Jiangnan and Huguang must transport grain to the north in the next autumn. This cannot be done. , the world will be in chaos. The little food transported by sea alone can only sustain the needs of the capital and the army, and other disaster-stricken places can only hope for their own blessings!"
Marine transportation may have a bright future, but it is still far from being able to shoulder this burden.
In fact, Feng Ziying had seen this a long time ago and started to do this, encouraging merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi to cooperate with merchants from Jiangnan. However, this requires a process, which does not take three to five years or even ten or eight years. , it is difficult to truly replace water transportation.
Lu Song admired Feng Ziying's foresight very much. Without Feng Ziying's advance planning, the price of grain in Gyeonggi Province would have skyrocketed. It was all due to the Ministry of Household Affairs' announcement to import grain from Dinggu, Dagu and Yongping Prefecture. Only then did they manage to suppress the fierce rise in food prices and stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi. Otherwise, the situation in Gyeonggi would have deteriorated long ago, not to mention that there are still so many refugees coming.
Based on this, Lu Song felt that even if Feng Ziying made any request as long as it did not violate his principles as a human being, he would agree to it. As for who he wanted to take to the prison to visit, it was a trivial matter, so It's Feng Ziying who wants to be released on bail. As long as it's not Jia She, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong and other important figures who are too eye-catching, he can turn a blind eye.
“Ziying, what you mean is that the palace allows them to do whatever they want, as long as it doesn’t affect the court situation, it doesn’t matter.” Lu Song laughed, “But it’s unavoidable to do so...”
"Master Lu, if you don't let them bother, they will focus on court affairs, and even have some unrealistic ideas, and want to take advantage of the court situation to cause trouble. That is the real hidden danger, so let them go. "Long Jinwei has a good grasp of the scale and can even guide it. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as Shandong is won and the general trend is determined, the rest will be of no concern." Feng Ziying said easily.
“Ziying, from the look of you, you are very confident about the situation in the court.” Lu Song asked with a smile.
"Master Lu, I actually think that the saying "Hugh together with the country" can be applied to those of us scholars and martial artists who came from the north. I don't think the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty really won. We can be better than now, so we will remain firm and unyielding. We must move our support to win this battle." Feng Ziying said categorically, and it was also a statement to everyone represented by Lu Song.
Lu Song was satisfied and nodded: "Ziying, you have such momentum and confidence, then I will feel at ease. I know how to deal with matters in the palace. Ziying might as well go to the cabinet ministers and visit them more , sit down and talk,..."
Feng Ziying understood: "I understand."
"Well, Concubine Jia in the palace has been released from confinement. I also told Concubine Xu that it should not be expanded or delayed. She is a smart person and understands what I mean." Lu Song said calmly: "In addition, if Ziying still If you have any requirements, you can just tell Zhang Jin directly."
Feng Ziying was determined. With this sentence, the room for maneuver would be much larger. Zhang Jin would definitely report to Lu Song, but as long as Lu Song did not object, he could do a lot of things.
Feng Ziying was in a good mood when she returned home. When she heard that Hongyu was back, she immediately understood that Wang Xifeng was probably pregnant.
Although she is not the first child born into this world, no man can restrain his desire to covet Wang Xifeng, the most seductive woman in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" in the past. As for Feng Ziying, although he is only twenty years old, he was already a middle-aged man in his previous life. Naturally, he is not exempt from the secular world. So when he has the opportunity and fulfills a forbidden wish, how can he endure it?
Seeing Wang Xifeng's pregnant prime minister Feng Ziying gave birth to an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Now that things have come together, Wang Xifeng finally gave birth to her child, and this feeling is even more memorable.
The second grandmother, Sister Feng, Feng Lazi, and Feng Yatou, this strong woman who was so arrogant and powerful in the Rongguo Mansion, finally crawled under her and willingly gave birth to children for her. This kind of psychological comfort and sense of accomplishment , satisfaction is something that outsiders can never imagine and experience, even people of this era can hardly imagine.
However, in front of Yuanyang, Jin Chuaner and Qingwen, Feng Ziying could only suppress her inner thoughts. On the surface, she still pretended to be indifferent, pretending to care about Hongyu, and said comfortingly. Lin Zhixiao and his wife shouldn't have much of a problem, and they will definitely be released in the future.
This kind of performance can be concealed from other people, but it is difficult to escape Yuanyang's wonderful eyes. However, Yuanyang is also well-informed and interesting, so naturally he will not expose these things. He just thinks that this man's acting is quite similar. Considering the bad relationship between Wang Xifeng and this man, Yuanyang could only sigh in secret.
After the excitement, Feng Ziying left first, leaving Hongyu, Jinchuaner, Yuanyang and others behind. Everything seemed so normal.
