Chapter 1937 Ren Zijuan forced the palace, please solve it
Yuanchun looked at Feng Ziying with a complicated expression. She finally understood where Feng Ziying's confidence lay. It was not just as simple as Feng Tang of the Feng family leading the army, but the foundation of the entire scholar group. As one of the best, Feng Ziying naturally had this confidence. .
"Ziying, why did you ask me to cooperate with you?" After a long time, Yuan Chun said quietly: "Since you don't even bother to get involved in the fight for the throne among the kings, why do you want me to come...?"
"Two reasons. Although it is a principle to share the world with scholar-bureaucrats, there are still many variables brought about by unexpected factors when it comes to individuals. For example, during the period of the Supreme Emperor, who was in power for forty years, it is easy to say that the prestige accumulated in the early, middle and late stages, even if It was the civil servants who were dissatisfied with his policies, but they could not compete and could only compromise. This directly led to the current difficult situation of the Zhou Dynasty. The extravagant spending in Jiangnan led to huge financial consumption, the corruption of officials, the barrenness and erosion in the northwest, and the poverty in the northeast. The predicament of the Jianzhou Jurchen, the delay in the reform of the Southwest, and the delay in the reform of the land to the local people in the southwest are all the consequences of the Taishang Emperor period to a certain extent. Therefore, we hope for a less stubborn emperor, which can also make the emperor and his officials more capable. Get along harmoniously,…”
Feng Ziying explained patiently.
Yuanchun's eyes flashed, "So, the princes in the court still haven't made a decision on who to choose as the successor?"
"Theoretically, the emperor is just in a coma. It is up to the emperor to decide on the succession, and the cabinet will give suggestions. But now the emperor is in a coma and cannot see things, so we can only wait. Even if the princes in the court have some preferences, they will not reveal them easily. , in this situation, everyone still has a chance. If the emperor really can't wake up, then the cabinet ministers and the seven ministers will definitely decide who succeeds. But if the emperor can wake up, then the cabinet can only make suggestions. The power and decision-making power still lies with the emperor, so the princes will definitely not give up at this time, and their mothers and concubines will not give up just yet."
Feng Ziying said it very easily, which made Yuan Chun very uncomfortable. It was so important to change the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he said it in an understatement, and his tone seemed to be filled with an indescribable calmness. Thinking of those people in the palace, they would make a fuss over the slightest disturbance, like hedgehogs, with their quills ready to give the opponent a fatal blow.
Comparing these two things, Yuanchun felt an indescribable feeling of exhaustion and loss. It seemed that everything he had pursued and fought for seemed so ridiculous, and in other people's minds, it might be a trivial matter that had nothing to do with the overall situation.
It was difficult for Feng Ziying to understand the complicated changes in Yuanchun's mood at this time. He could only roughly feel that Yuanchun's mood suddenly became waning, and his spirit was quite depressed, but he didn't know the exact reason.
"I understand. The ministers in the cabinet will not express their opinions easily. If the emperor cannot wake up, then they will continue to fight for it relentlessly. But aren't the ministers in the cabinet afraid of affecting the stability of the court?" It took a long time for Yuanchun to force himself to support himself. He cheered himself up and asked with some hope.
It's just that Feng Ziying didn't seem to be aware of it and said to herself: "Affect the stability of the DPRK? Why do they affect the stability of the DPRK? If they really have this ability, they don't need to rack their brains to compete for the position of supervising the country. Look at this again What does the position of supervising the country mean in the court? It's just a clay puppet, just a decoration."
The contempt is mixed with disdain, and the straightforward words make people tremble with fear, but Yuanchun knows that this may be the truth.
"In that case, what else do you need me to do?" Yuanchun said a little lonely.
"Qiu Shi'an said something to me, and I think it makes sense. Maybe I don't care much about it, but from the Feng family and my father's side, maybe we need to consider a longer term. After all, my father is a military general. , and is in charge of the army. Once the rebellion in Nanjing is suppressed, the Northwest Army may have lost its meaning in the minds of the princes, and may be eliminated. Various methods can be used to weaken this army, so that the princes in the DPRK can Don't worry." Feng Ziying smiled.
Yuan Chun was shocked and looked at Feng Ziying: "Ziying, what do you mean by this?"
Given the current situation in the palace and Yuanchun's situation, as long as she is not extremely stupid, she will understand that whoever she hugs will be a scapegoat.
Whether Su Lingyao or others, they would only treat her as a character who could be sacrificed at any time. She just used these words to report. People believe it or not, but she would never get any benefit. That's it. Simple, because his identity limits Yuanchun to a stepping stone type of character.
Jia Yuanchun's heart was pounding. Is the Feng family going to rebel? It seems that it is not the case, or I have misunderstood it.
Feng Tang wants to give an explanation to his subordinates. It can be understood that he wants to add another level of yellow robe, so that he can naturally give a better explanation to the generals below. However, it can also be understood that he wants to obtain more benefits from the imperial court for his subordinates. Military generals, such as being knighted or promoted, but the meaning in these words is so exciting that people can't help but think about it.
Especially since Yuanchun was in the palace, he was naturally more sensitive to such words.
After calming down, Yuanchun couldn't help but lick his dry lips, and his voice became hoarse and low: "You mean you want to influence the future emperor to make a decision that is beneficial to your father?"
"That's pretty much what I mean." Feng Ziying smiled, "This is not a secret that cannot be told to others. Everyone knows it tacitly. Even the ministers in the cabinet know that my father will definitely think so and work hard towards this. My father It will definitely not only be limited to working hard in the palace, but also to lobby the princes in the court. Big girl, please don't be too naive to think that this is a treasonous act. Well, this is normal, and people don't do it for you. It is normal for my father to have such an idea. The influence in the palace is only one aspect, and it also depends on whether any prince will sit on the throne at that time. If the current status is maintained, it will not make much sense. The decision-making power still lies with the cabinet ministers.”
Feng Ziying's understatement and taking things for granted once again made Yuan Chun feel incredible. She also felt that her usefulness in the palace was being downplayed before it was even fully realized, which made her a little frustrated.
Yuanchun finally calmed down. She realized that the world was really too complicated, and her understanding of the many disputes in the palace was still too superficial. The various battles in the palace were actually closely related to the outside world. It could even be said that there were no battles in the palace. It is a continuation of the external game. Who comes to power ultimately depends on whose views prevail among the external court princes. The goal of the battle in the palace is mainly to establish a better image for the kings among the court princes, or It is said that each party can establish closer ties with the princes of the DPRK and China in terms of future governance, interest disputes, etc., so that they can support each party.
Seeing the changing expression on Yuan Chun's face, Feng Ziying understood that her feelings were greatly impacted at this time. He could also understand and comforted her: "Girl, many things are inextricably linked. Likewise, with the passage of time, Times have changed, and there are a lot of variables here, so take precautions. Since Qiu Shian is willing to work for me, I am also happy to see it happen. For him, it can strengthen his position in the palace and in the future. I can also gain influence from the influence around the emperor. This kind of benefit is mutual, so why not?"
"What about me? What role will I play? Where is my future?" Jia Yuanchun's tone became colder.
This question is really difficult to answer, mainly because Feng Ziying doesn't quite understand how far Yuanchun's mentality has changed, or he is not sure what Yuanchun wants now.
It seems that Yuanchun has clearly seen something behind the scenes. It turns out that what she wants may not be what she wants now. Her previous emotional outburst has proved this.
"It depends on yourself." Feng Ziying thought for a while and said: "If you still want to win a place in the palace and maintain your self-esteem as before, then with my support and Qiu Shi'an's help, it will be easy. I can do this, and I also hope you can help me. Look at Qiu Shi'an. After all, I am a foreign minister and it is not that convenient. Qiu Shi'an may want something from me, but not all interests are consistent with mine, so I need to master Understand whether he will harm the interests of me and the Feng family on some issues."
"What if I don't want to be who I am?" Jia Yuanchun's breathing became a little faster, his eyes became clearer and dazzling, and he looked directly at Feng Ziying: "I am tired of the current life in the palace. I hate it from the bottom of my heart. I regret that I would accept it in the first place. Regarding the arrangements at home, I just want a safer and more comfortable life now, is that okay?"
Feng Ziying was forced into a corner, and what should she do when others were talking about her? But now I am not that capable of covering the sky with one hand. This is in the palace. No matter how little attention Yuanchun receives, she still has the status of a noble concubine.
