Chapter 1984 Gui Zi Juan has a clear conscience and deserves it
Everyone looked at him sideways.
Everyone has always felt that Qi Yongtai was overbearing towards his proud disciple. He would always be humbled or criticized when someone praised him.
This is of course with the intention of making Feng Ziying's foundation stronger so that he can go even higher in the future.
As for Feng Ziying's performance in the past few years, no one can say anything bad. She is brave and resourceful, capable of literary and military skills, and she can always step on the ideas, and her political achievements are enough to convince the public. No wonder Ye Xiang Both Gao and Fang Congzhe often lamented that Jiangnan's talented people were all famous, but they were inferior to Feng's son.
Leaving aside the previous performance of the Hanlin Academy, the political achievements in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion in the past few years alone are enough to put to shame those officials who have been immersed in officialdom for decades.
Although it seems that a scholar in his early twenties being promoted to a fourth-rank official is a bit dazzling in the official circles of the Zhou Dynasty, only Feng Ziying can bear it.
Erjia Jinshi, Shujishi, Hanlin Academy editor, martial arts background, Pavilion teacher, in terms of foundation, it is full of gold; Ningxia suppressed rebellion, Jiangnan opened the sea, financial advice, Yongping defended the enemy, and rectified Shuntian , it can be said that any political achievement is either a life-and-death job, a unique and ingenious strategy that will benefit the court for a long time, or a real and outstanding political achievement in the local area.
Therefore, before, including Qiao Yingjia, Guan Yingzhen, Cui Jingrong, Chai Ke and other celebrities from the North or Huguang, they all felt that Qi Yongtai was a bit too harsh, but unexpectedly this time Qi Yongtai suddenly wanted to talk about Feng Ziying being promoted to a Even Qiao Yingjia was a little surprised to be in such a high position.
"I know everyone is worried that Zi Yingde is not worthy of the position. It is true that although Ziying has performed well, her qualifications are still too low. But this time I have no selfish intentions and everything is public, so I am very calm." Qi Yongtai Sitting upright with his beard smoothed, he said calmly: "Even if it's Jin Qing and Zhong Han, I want to be able to speak openly. I also believe they can understand my painstaking efforts."
Everyone was a little confused, and their eyes fell on Zhang Huaichang. There must be some unexpected factor that made Qi Yongtai unable to sit still.
Zhang Huaichang had a bitter look on his face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are reports from Zifang Division and Shanxi Town Yang Yuan that Fengzhou Bailian is ready to make a move, and there are signs of collusion with Shanshan Bailian inside the border wall. In addition, we are investigating Lindan Batur from Harr is also actively contacting the Ordos Ministry, and the situation in Datong is not optimistic."
As soon as they heard that it was Fengzhou Bailian, everyone took a breath of cold air, and Han Xu even asked anxiously: "But the remnants of Zhao Quan and Li Zixin?"
"Well, the remnants of Zhao Quan and Li Zixin have been accumulating strength in Fengzhou outside the wall for many years, and the Ministry of War has never relaxed its surveillance on them. The imperial court also made representations to Sanniangzi several times, and later to Bu Shitu and Su Nang. , but there were no results,..." Zhang Huaichang introduced.
Fengzhou Bailian is actually a Han Bailian believer who escaped from Shanxi by crossing the Great Wall.
Since the Tianping period sixty years ago, tens of thousands of White Lotus believers have been suppressed by local officials in Shanxi. They bribed border generals or sneaked into the Tumut controlled area in the north, and then gathered in the Fengzhou area. It quickly formed a force that cannot be underestimated.
And these White Lotus believers are inextricably linked to Shanxi within the border wall, and even the famous Shanxi merchants can be involved, so the Tumut people and even the Ordos people hope that these Han people can bring inland goods. Various goods, and then formed trade with the grassland.
Fengzhou Bailian set up this line through Shanxi merchants, and a large number of Han goods were imported into Tumut and Ordos. This also allowed Fengzhou Bailian to quickly gain a foothold outside the border wall, and its power quickly grew, and even began to Attack the border town.
It was not until the early years of Yuanxi that the Great Zhou Dynasty began to put pressure on the Tumut people, otherwise they would have to fight with each other and cut off trade. This forced Ada Khan, Huang Taiji, Zhelike and Sanniangzi to give up supporting Fengzhou Bailian. Fengzhou Bailian began to fall silent again, but the Tumut people always refused to expel Fengzhou Bailian and did not allow Zhou to attack Fengzhou Bailian. This also became a deadlock.
Fortunately, Fengzhou Bailian has been leaderless since the death of its two leaders, Zhao Quan and Li Zixin, and has gradually settled down. However, the number of White Lotus believers and other poor Han people who have sneaked away from the border wall to make a living in Fengzhou has continued to increase unabated over the years. , although the public appearance is not that big, but the secret strength is difficult to judge.
Will the White Lotus cultists who have lived on the territory of the Tumut people for decades still be as crazy as the White Lotus cultists in the mainland?
Once Fengzhou Bailian wants to rebel, will the Han people who are attached to Fengzhou Bailian also follow them in revolt?
"Zhao Quan sneaked into Yingzhou to buy medicine for me and formed this incestuous relationship. It has become a major hidden danger to the court now." Qiao Yingjia couldn't help but sigh: "From the Tianping period to now, this The disaster has never been eliminated, and it is always lingering.”
Qiao Yingjia, who is here, is from Pingyang Yi family, Han Xu is from Puzhou, Pingyang, and Sun Juxiang is from Qinshui, Zezhou. They are all from Shanxi. Naturally, they are no strangers to the situation of Fengzhou White Lotus. They know that Fengzhou White Lotus was at its peak back then. The scenery was just revealed again after so many years, which made it difficult for them to accept it for a while.
"Not only is it lingering, but now it is taking advantage of the difficulties in the court to cause trouble, which will be a big trouble." Sun Juxiang also took up the words, frowning deeply.
"If Fengzhou Bailian wants to rebel, what will be the attitude of the Tumut people and the Ordos people? Will they have any different intentions?" Wang Yongguang couldn't help but ask.
"It's hard to say." Cui Jingrong also looked cautious. "The last time the Chahars invaded Gyeonggi, they actually invited the Ordos and Tumed people, but neither the Ordos nor the Tumed troops sent troops. But this time the situation Something is different.”
Once Fengzhou Bailian gets into trouble, it will definitely pose a huge threat to Shanxi and Datong towns. In particular, will the Tumut people take advantage of the situation and rob them?
Needless to say, the Chahar people will definitely come to interfere. There is no reason for Jianzhou Jurchen to cause trouble, and they will remain quiet.
These grassland tribes know very well that if they don't take advantage of the great week to have a peck, if they miss this village, there will be no shop.
It should be said that among the grassland tribes, the Tumote tribe has always maintained the most harmonious relationship with the Great Zhou since Zhelike and Sanniangzi came to power. After Zhelike died, Bu Shitu and Su Nang competed for the throne, and the Great Zhou also There is no favoring one side. Although both parties are not satisfied, they have accepted this reality.
Including the Ningxia rebellion, Feng Ziying also dared to go deep into the grassland to negotiate with Bu Shitu, asking him to cut off contact with the rebels and support the Great Zhou Dynasty in suppressing the rebellion.
But now?
Fengzhou Bailian without the support of the Tumut people and Fengzhou Bailian with the secret support of the Tumut people are completely different things. Everyone knows this. The connections established by the Feng family in the northwest border should come into play at this time. It's time, this is probably the main reason why Qi Yongtai spared no effort to get Feng Ziying to go to Shaanxi, and at the same time he was confident in convincing Ye Fang.
"Compared to the Tumuts and Ordos, I'm more worried about the internal and external cooperation of the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Beizhili." Han Xu's face became more serious. "Yongping Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture all reflect the White Lotus Sect. It spread rapidly in Beizhili and was very active. There were many local gentry who colluded with them. Once Fengzhou Bailian really attacked Datong, Shanshan and Beizhili Bailian churches would not take the opportunity to start an uprising. The imperial court had not done a good job in this regard. Prepare to respond!"
Han Xu’s words made the atmosphere in the whole place even more depressing. It was originally a festive gathering to celebrate and discuss the recovery of Linqing, but now it has turned into such a situation, which made Feng Ziying a little surprised.
After pondering for a while, Feng Ziying spoke: "The White Lotus Sect here in Shuntian Prefecture is indeed somewhat powerful, and the same is true in Yongping Prefecture. Jun Yu and I have worked **** this, but the people, even the state and county officials and The gentry often indulges in indulgences, and the results are never very good."
Everyone was silent. Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi had both served as governors and magistrates in these two places not long ago. The local gentry was deeply entangled in the local area. If the White Lotus Sect had infiltrated into them, it would be unrealistic to eradicate them suddenly.
This is true for Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture. How can other prefectures in Beizhili be any better?
"However, Jun Yu and I are not unprepared. I arranged for people to keep an eye on Shuntian Mansion. There are signs that the White Lotus Sect in Shuntian Mansion is connected with the White Lotus Sect in Datong, Shanxi, and even with Fengzhou. Bailian is also involved, but to what extent it is hard to say. However, our people have already infiltrated into them, but it still takes time to understand the situation. In addition, the White Lotus Sect in Shandong should not be underestimated. Linqing was The civil uprising has the shadow of the White Lotus Sect behind it."
Feng Ziying's words made everyone present feel both happy and worried. Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi were both prepared. They are worthy of our Northland talents. Letting Lian Guoshi succeed Feng Ziying was also the right choice. It ensured the stability of Jingdong, but there are hidden dangers in Shandong. , this national affairs is so difficult, it seems that the joy and excitement brought by Linqing's recovery were suddenly swept away.
Feng Ziying also knows that now is not the time to just report worries, everyone needs more encouraging news, but he first talks about the bad situation in order to alert everyone.
"If the imperial court arranges for students to go to Shaanxi and the Tumut people, the students will contact them as soon as possible, but Fengzhou Bailian is indeed a problem. Whether it is Divination Lost Rabbit or Su Nang, it is estimated that they will not make a clear statement. It is more beneficial for them to remain silent." Feng Ziying quickly became the focus of everyone's attention, "The Ordos people probably don't have a big problem. They haven't fully recovered yet. If the court makes some moves, they should maintain the status quo."
