Chapter 1916 Renzijuan If such a good wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
This is the first time that a conflicted and entangled mentality appears in Feng Ziying who has traveled through time. This makes Feng Ziying herself feel surprised.
I am actually really addicted to this era and can't extricate myself. Otherwise, I can stand on the view that ensuring one's own absolute safety is the first priority of a gentleman not to build a dangerous wall, and categorically reject the possibility of governor Shaanxi, unlike Now when Qi Yongtai raised this possibility, he actually got a little excited and even considered how to patrol Shaanxi as much as possible while avoiding immune diseases.
He was still worried when he returned home. This situation was quickly noticed by Shen Yixiu.
Even though Tong Niang was playing around her knees, Feng Ziying could not completely let go. This made Shen Yixiu realize that her husband might have really encountered something difficult.
In the past, no matter how complicated and dangerous things were, Feng Ziying would drop everything and play with her daughter as soon as her daughter showed up. But today, although her husband still accompanies her daughter to have fun, the gloom between her eyebrows behind the smile lingers. .
It was the first time that Shen Yixiu saw her husband in this situation, so he waited until his daughter fell asleep and then accompanied Feng Ziying on the kang, washing her feet and beating her legs, while talking.
"It's better to know your husband than your wife. I know that I can't hide it from Wan Jun. Well, I do have something on my mind." Feng Ziying didn't intend to hide it from her wife. She said frankly: "The situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi is worrying. The thieves are in chaos and the plague is rising again. The local area may be worried." It’s hard to deal with it. The letter from Yulin mentioned some situations, which are very bad. Today I went to Master Qi and the situation I got from Master Qi is also not good.”
"Plague?!" Shen Yixiu was shocked. Only then did she know why her husband was so worried. This was no different than anything else. When a plague comes, it doesn't matter whether you are a nobleman or a commoner.
"Well, the pimple plague has broken out in Shanshan and Shaanxi. It's not serious yet, but in this situation, if there is no strong response strategy, it may be difficult to control Shanshan and Shaanxi." Feng Ziying held his wife's warm hand. , rubbing it carefully, with a serious look on his face, "Once the epidemic in Shanxi and Shaanxi cannot be controlled and it spreads to Henan and Beizhi, the situation will be serious, and even the capital may not be able to survive."
Shen Yixiu was not ignorant of the situation in the border areas, especially since her father Shen Jue also participated in politics in Shanxi. She frowned and said: "Although the pimple plague is dangerous, it is not the first time it has appeared. After the Yuanxi period, it appeared in the border areas." It appears from time to time, in Shanshan and even Beizhi, so it won't make my husband so worried, right?"
"It's different. The main reason is that the current situation is so bad." Feng Ziying didn't explain much. He only said a few sentences. He believed that his wife could understand, "The refugees rebelled and wandered around to plunder and eat. The disease could take the opportunity to spread among them. , the government cannot control it at all, and the key is to control the epidemic, it is necessary to draw a tight line, strictly restrict the movement of people, and ensure the supply of medicine, money and food. But now many places in Shanxi and Shaanxi are thousands of miles away, and there is no food to eat. The government is also unable to solve the food problem, and the people Why do you sit back and wait for death?"
Shen Yixiu's face gradually became serious, he nodded slightly, and said hesitantly: "If this is the case, this situation is really dangerous. How does the court plan to deal with it?"
"The imperial court still has no good strategy. The main problem is that the rebellion and the plague are intertwined. This is the most difficult to solve. Shanshan and Shaanxi are unable to quell the rebellion. The imperial court originally hoped to trade space for time, so that the rebellion would be limited to Shanshan and Shaanxi. We can take down Shandong and then deal with it, but this idea is not feasible now. The plague is not like a riot. If you want to restrict it to Shanshan and Shaanxi, it can only spread in Shanshan and Shaanxi." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, "This is Difficulties of the imperial court.”
Shen Yixiu heard some of the smell and held her husband's hand nervously: "Qi Ge Lao wants you to go to Shanshan?"
Feng Ziying slightly nodded, "He, Master Qiao, and Duke Yu may all have this intention. They feel that everything I have done in Shuntian Mansion has basically taken shape, and it would be a pity to stay any longer, so they want me to experience it. After this If this battle is done well, no one can say anything to me."
Shen Yixiu remained silent.
Although I also know that my husband’s reputation in the capital is growing, his time as an official was too short after all. He only visited the Hanlin Academy, Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, and basically did not leave the capital. If he wanted to go Shanshan, then it may not be two or three months or even a year and a half, maybe two or three years.
She certainly doesn’t want her husband to take risks in her heart. This plague has no eyes, so who can guarantee that she will not be infected? But she knew her husband's temper very well. To this extent, if the court was really interested, he probably wouldn't refuse.
"If the husband wants to go to Shanshan, in what capacity will he go?" Shen Yixiu couldn't help but ask.
“If you want to go, I’m afraid it’s because you are the governor of Shaanxi.” Feng Ziying was also thinking seriously about this issue.
"If you are a governor, you can bring your family members to take office." Shen Yixiu was born in an official background, so he naturally understood these details.
Although the governor is also a temporary position and does not have a term of office, unlike the governor, he has a governor's residence and specific affairs, and he can also bring his family members to the post.
Feng Ziying laughed, "I am worried about the situation in Shanxi. Even if I really want to go, I am still thinking about how to deal with it. I have never thought about this."
Shen Yixiu blushed slightly and rolled her eyes at her husband charmingly: "As a woman, I naturally have to think about these things, unlike my husband, who worries about big things."
Feng Ziying was amused by Shen Yixiu's words and shook her head: "Wanjun is not a commoner, how can we take it lightly? If my husband is going to Shanxi, I naturally hope that Wanjun will accompany him, but Tongniang is too young, and there is a plague in Shaanxi. Fang Qi, I can't let you two take risks."
"Actually, although the pimple plague is dangerous, it is inevitable. My husband was able to come up with strategies when the plague broke out after the flood in the capital, and he became famous in one fell swoop. He must have some experience in how to deal with the pimple plague." Shen Yixiu still thinks of her husband. She was full of confidence that her husband could always do amazing things, and she believed that this time would be no exception.
Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing when he saw his wife's confident look. He couldn't let his wives worry too much, "Of course there are some countermeasures for husbands, but we still have to go to the field to know how effective they are, but we can't say that yet." For the sake of his father's sake, he cannot be the governor of Shaanxi and is not an important minister, and his husband's qualifications are still a bit shallow. This is what Qi Shi and others have in mind, but the imperial court may not agree."
Shen Yixiu shook his head in disbelief, "This is not a fat job, but an important responsibility. I'm afraid not many people in the court are willing to go. They just want to go. I'm afraid they don't have the qualifications and abilities. They just want to fight. It's just fame and wealth, but once he loses, he only loses his life, but it harms the entire country of Zhou Dynasty. All the gentlemen will understand this truth, but my husband is different. You don't have to do this, but you do. Having this kind of ability, courage and determination is what the court values."
Shen Yixiu's words made Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. His eldest wife was really confident in herself. Do you think she could turn the tide if she really went to Shaanxi? But even I didn't know it yet.
That is not a matter of a few states and counties. Shaanxi has eight prefectures, two direct prefectures, 21 subordinate prefectures, and 95 counties, covering almost the entire northwest border, which is equivalent to the four states of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai in later generations. Province, plus the Hetao area in Inner Mongolia, the vastness of the territory is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Seeing the half-smiling look on her husband's face, Shen Yixiu wanted to cheer her husband up more and more, not to make him feel uneasy. "Does my husband feel that I am deliberately trying to reassure you, so I am exaggerating?"
"Well, a little bit, Mr. Wan, your blind admiration makes me both proud and guilty. If I really go to Shaanxi and don't do a good job, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the court and to you, Mr. Wan? , my glorious image collapsed right here with you, it’s so unworthy.” Feng Ziying was half-joking.
"My husband is not wrong. I mean to cheer you up, but I am not blindly talking nonsense." Shen Yixiu said calmly: "You have several advantages in going to Shaanxi that others do not have."
“Oh, tell me.” Feng Ziying laughed.
"First, my husband has been to Shaanxi when Ningxia suppressed the rebellion. He is not unfamiliar with Shaanxi. He is well-known in the three border areas and four towns. These border areas are actually closely related to the interior of Shaanxi. If the children of the military want to study, who can How can I not know the reputation of your Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan? Based on this alone, you have an advantage that others cannot match."
Shen Yixiu’s words are indeed correct.
After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the policy of using literature to control military affairs was pursued. Although military generals held high positions in the border areas, they were not welcomed in the interior of the court. If the children of military generals could read books, they would naturally be better than It is more worthwhile to invest in becoming a martial artist with your father and elder brother, so this is also why people like Feng Ziying and Sun Chuanting, who were born as martial artists, went directly to become civil servants after studying, and had no intention of going back to become warriors.
Feng Ziying was born in the martial arts, but she became famous as a civil servant, making the martial arts disciples look up to her. If there is anyone in the family who can read, of course they are willing to become a civil servant, and Feng Ziying is now a young man in the North. As a leader of scholars, being able to get to know Feng Ziying and even be valued by Feng Ziying will undoubtedly provide more connections for the younger students in the family.
"So this is not just the children in the military, it is Shaanxi, which is also the hinterland of the North. Who among the literati does not know the reputation of Lord Dao?" Shen Yixiu said with a smile: "Who is not willing to befriend you, the future prospect? Where is the unlimited rising star in politics? Even my father mentioned in his letter that many people in Shanxi official circles mentioned my husband."
