Chapter 2202 The Gui scroll is secretly used in Chencang, and the golden hook is used to catch Ao
There was no sound for a while. Feng Ziying certainly knew who these two people were, but she didn't expect them to wander into the back garden.
He also wanted to hear how Shi Xiangyun answered Qin Keqing's question.
After a long time, Feng Ziying heard Shi Xiangyun sigh: "So what if there is affection? Brother Feng has tried his best to help us in this situation. I am very grateful, but I can't drag him down anymore. Although my ancestors asked the Ministry of Rites to terminate the engagement, there was still no reply when we left Beijing. In addition, even after the engagement was terminated, my two uncles were still very visible and active in Nanjing. I am afraid that they have long been remembered by the court. , can I get away?"
"Didn't you say that he said he could use the amnesty?" Qin Keqing asked puzzledly: "If something happens in Jiangnan, I guess the court will definitely make a decision. It is impossible to continue to run the country with this nondescript model of supervising the country. The only thing is that there are some The trouble is that the Supreme Emperor is still here, so why does the Emperor practice inner Zen? It’s hard to call him that.”
"They all pin their hopes on the amnesty. What if the amnesty is not as good as imagined?" Shi Xiangyun said calmly: "Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Besides, I am also thinking that Brother Feng may not be willing to ask for it." I,…"
"Why do you say that? I can see that he has affection for you." Qin Keqing said very firmly: "You don't have to think too much about other things. He is the governor of Shaanxi. This time the situation in Shaanxi has turned around, he can be regarded as a member of the government. With his prestige, the court will definitely reuse him after he returns, and then we will see if he can produce some decent results in Shaanxi."
"It is precisely because he has a bright future that I don't want to drag him down with my affairs. If someone uses this matter of mine to find fault, wouldn't I become a sinner?" Shi Xiangyun's tone was a little low.
"Xiangyun, it's good for you to think so, but you just don't know much about these things in the court. His future is not affected by these things. If the censor makes noise about these things, he will be scolding and secretly ganging up. It's absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to be truly fatal." Qin Keqing's tone was very calm.
"Ah? Sir, I don't quite understand what you are saying. Why did the censor's impeachment become an overt scolding and a secret gang?" Shi Xiangyun was confused.
Not to mention Shi Xiangyun, even Feng Ziying became a little curious. This Qin Keqing was not simple. He was not at all the innocent and ignorant person he thought he was before. He seemed to be very proficient in everything in the court.
"How can a person like him who has risen to great heights at such a young age not arouse the fear and jealousy of many people? If he really wants to be spotless, clean and honest, I'm afraid he will be the target of public criticism, and it will be difficult for him to make any progress. Wouldn't he know that Those who are good are easy to break, and those who are outstanding are easy to be stained? So having such insignificant problems and stains is actually a good thing for him, which can be regarded as a manifestation of being in harmony with the light."
Qin Keqing's words made Shi Xiangyun savor it carefully, and it seemed that it was really the case. A person who stands out from the crowd will definitely attract a lot of jealousy and criticism. If you have some flaws and shortcomings, everyone will think that you are just like everyone else, nothing more. It seems that if you have better opportunities and stronger abilities, everyone still has a chance to catch up with you. If you really want to be perfect, what will everyone do?
"Well, sir, according to your opinion, my situation has actually become a layer of protection for Brother Feng?" Shi Xiangyun was a little dumbfounded. How could he, a convict, become a good thing?
"This is nothing at all. If he really wants to make progress, he has to do something more eye-catching or controversial." Qin Keqing's tone became calmer, "I heard someone say that if he can't Causing controversy, either this person is mediocre, or this person has ulterior motives. Some people use Wang Mang as an example. Therefore, if he does not want to become a thorn in the eyes of many people so early, he must make some extraordinary moves to attract some criticism. OK."
Feng Ziying was really convinced. He actually realized that his drastic actions in Shaanxi did not attract much criticism. This was actually not a good thing.
Either those people feel that the overwhelming trend is irresistible, or they feel that the time is not ripe and wait until the critical moment to strike a fatal blow. This is not what he wants to see, so he can accept some critical bullets, even if they are heavier.
After all, controversy means a conflict of interests, so naturally some people will fight back on their own behalf. Isn’t that what young people like me should do?
He is more curious now about why Qin Keqing has changed so much. The Qin Keqing in his impression turned out to be completely different. Even during that meeting in prison, he didn't seem to have evolved to this extent, right?
How come it has only been so long? In less than a year, that is, in more than half a year, he has completely transformed, as if he is well versed in the inner workings of the government and the public. What is going on here?
Or is there someone else behind her? Then why are they sent to Shaanxi?
Who is this guy?
Feng Ziying has vaguely guessed something, but is not sure. What is the purpose of this person?
"There are many types of impeachment. If he is impeached for taking you as a concubine, it is a good thing. If he is impeached because he promotes potato planting, it may not be a good thing." Qin Keqing's tone was a little more transparent.
"Taking you as a concubine is at best a violation of court etiquette. It can be a big or small matter. You can be dismissed from the position or you can be reprimanded. It depends on the attitude of the superior. And if I can get amnesty before accepting you, then it won't be a big deal. My son, I have to hire you now to attract the imperial censor to impeach. But because of this kind of thing, the imperial court will dismiss a prosperous fourth-grade official from his position? Obviously it is impossible. But if it is to promote potatoes, here is another One thing, this involves the change of the entire farming and the livelihood of thousands of families. If something goes wrong, it will be a catastrophic disaster. If he does it so abruptly, it must not be in compliance with the court regulations. Once something goes wrong, the censors will It can be said that they predicted it first, and that became their great political achievement.”
Shi Xiangyun looked at Qin Keqing in surprise, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him. How could he have changed into a different person in just a few months?
This change was not only felt by Feng Ziying, but also by Shi Xiangyun, who was not so sensitive.
“Do you think I’ve changed a bit?” Qin Keqing said in a nonchalant voice.
"Well, it's not a little big, it's big. It's a completely different person. It's not that your temper has changed, but your tone and understanding of things in the court have changed so much that I can't believe it. ." Shi Xiangyun pouted, "I remember that someone looked for you several times later, mysteriously. Is this the reason?"
"Yeah." Qin Keqing didn't hide it, "It's someone from the palace."
Shi Xiangyun suddenly understood, "Is it your mother, um, Concubine Ying's side?"
"Humph, is she my mother? She has never raised me since I was a child. It was my adoptive father and his family who raised me. It was not until shortly before I married Jia Rong that I finally knew some things that might be possible for me. Unlike ordinary people, no one gave me a real answer. I asked him at that time, but although he knew something, he still refused to tell me. This made me very disgusted and angry with him at that time. ."
Qin Keqing's voice at this time was very light and sweet, and it seemed that he had already put aside his resentment and dissatisfaction with Feng Ziying.
Perhaps she had already figured it out. It was not a good thing to tell herself at that time. Whether she went to find her biological father or mother or not, it was a dilemma.
Looking for it may only cause more troubles, but not looking for it may be asking for troubles. It is better to bury these things in the bottom of your heart, and the day they are really exposed, they will come out naturally.
Haven’t you already been exposed now? Someone from the palace came to find him and revealed the situation to him in a half-covered manner.
Until I left the capital, I met her specifically. Although it was through a curtain and the distance was so far, it was still the first time I heard her voice.
At that time, I didn't seem to be excited at all, and I didn't feel any tears or excitement as I had originally imagined. I could even face the other person's rambling story calmly.
To be honest, I didn't want to listen to the other person's nagging at all at that time, because she and I were already in two different worlds, and it was impossible for me to have anything to do with her, but she seemed to still be looking forward to being with her. There was some connection between the so-called biological father, which made Qin Keqing feel both sad and pitiful.
She was not very clear about the entanglement between her two biological father and mother, and even felt a little disgusted to be involved in it. These disgraceful and immoral things had made Qin Keqing extremely tired, but she still couldn't get rid of them. This made her Very hurt.
It was only then that she understood that the reason why Feng Ziying was unwilling to tell her was actually for her own good. It was really just adding trouble and doing no good.
It’s a pity that some things can’t be gotten rid of even if you want to. What should come will still come.
Of course, she also let the other party bring some things to her. For example, her biological mother still knew very well about various situations inside and outside the government. She didn't know how she knew about it, or whether she still knew it in Nanjing. Have any contact with her? This is the only way it can be explained.
After arriving in Xi'an, people still came to the door and kept making noises.
Qin Keqing knew that in a sense, the other party actually hoped to use this method to save Nanjing's life and regarded it as a life-saving straw, but to Qin Keqing, this was more like a humiliating joke.
