Chapter 2272 Gui Zi Juan bribes and wins over, and controls the palace ban
Zhou Peisheng finally left in a daze. Feng Ziying's series of words shocked him, but he was also excited.
He vaguely felt something, and suddenly he wanted to understand something.
Feng Ziying represents not only Feng Ziying, a civil servant, but also Feng Ziying, a descendant of Wu Xun. Because his father Feng Tang is also one of the leaders of the general faction among the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His complicated identity determines that he needs a reliable person in the palace. , or the source of the news, no matter who succeeds Dabao, the palace servants will always need to exist, it just depends on who can squeeze into the core circle of the new master.
But even if they can't squeeze in for the time being, people like him can lurk in the palace and wait for opportunities. Prince Yoshitaka is not too young, and maybe it will be time to change him again in three to five years.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Peisheng walked out of the gate of Feng Mansion in a daze. It was not until the carriage had taken dozens of steps that he couldn't help but look back and take another look, feeling extremely complicated.
It is not that there is no precedent for civil servants to have contact with the chamberlains in the palace, but it is only limited to the cabinet ministers. They also have their own informants in the palace, and they are limited to understanding some situations, and they are not willing to have deep friendship, let alone confide in them.
It is really unheard of for someone like Feng Ziying to blatantly express his intentions, express his willingness to cooperate further, and even hint that he needs to think clearly about his options and choose a good target.
But then I thought about it, although Feng Ziying is only the right minister of the Ministry of War now, he is only in his early twenties. How young. Has there ever been such a monster in this dynasty?
A twenty-year-old minister, doesn’t it mean a thirty-year-old minister and a forty-year-old chief minister?
Look at the current cabinet ministers and monks, which one is not over fifty? Ye Xianggao, the youngest among the cabinet ministers, is already fifty-three, and the others are approaching sixty.
In this case, it seems reasonable for Feng Ziying to plan the situation in advance, and Zhou Peisheng has already moved his mind.
When weighing the relationship between the Feng family and Concubine Tsuen, the balance has subconsciously tilted in favor of the Feng family. Of course, there is no unsolvable conflict between the Feng family and Concubine Quan. Even if Concubine Tsuen has some involvement with Feng Ziying, that kind of Does it matter?
Even a chamberlain like Zhou Peisheng doesn't think it's a big deal. There are so many maids and eunuchs in the palace who work as husband and wife to have **** with each other. If you are willing to serve as a tiger and use this to tie up Feng Ziying, then who can blame you?
Zhou Peisheng shuddered when he thought about it. When did he become so unscrupulous? The emperor was still here, and Concubine Quan was having an affair with a foreign minister, and he actually felt that he didn't care. This was a bit shocking, but why was he so careless? ?
He couldn't help but glance at the palace city to the east. It seemed that the majestic and towering palace palace had suddenly faded a lot and became dim.
After sending Zhou Peisheng away, Feng Ziying was in a good mood. Although she finally agreed to see Guo Qinjun again, Feng Ziying felt relieved in her heart. As long as Zhou Peisheng's uncle and nephew were there to help, Guo Qinjun, no matter how unruly, could turn over. Can't afford the waves.
Zhou Peisheng should have understood what he said and should have caught it.
Not expressing his position was actually an attitude, especially when he left. It also meant that he would secretly help him understand the situation in the palace, but Guo Qinyun did not mention it at all.
The reason why Feng Ziying agreed to see Guo Qinjun again was because Baoqin also slipped out of the palace before Zhou Peisheng came.
You can see Guo Qinzheng himself, but Feng Ziying can't do it for Yuanchun.
It has been more than ten days since I came back, and I don't care about him. I seem to be a little ruthless, but I can't blame myself for this.
There are so many women in this house, no matter what, they have to cultivate their own fields first. No matter how fertile the soil is, they have to work hard to sow and irrigate before they can harvest anything.
Miaoyu and Xiuyan's pregnancy greatly stimulated Baochai and Daiyu. Even Shen Yixiu, who had always been cold and calm, could no longer hold back. Naturally, he had to work hard.
Yuanchun has already settled in Chongxuan Guan. Maybe he wants to report the situation in the palace, or maybe he simply wants to see him. But no matter which reason, Feng Ziying seems to be unable to refuse.
It's just that Feng Ziying also faces a key problem. He promised to let Yuanchun leave the palace, what should he do now?
It was not a perfunctory prevarication before, and I had considered how to act, but this required perfect cooperation inside and outside the palace. The palace required three pro-in-arms and internal servants, and outside the palace, it also needed Longjing Lieutenant.
Although Jia Yuanchun is just an insignificant transparent person now, after all, Emperor Yonglong has not passed away yet, and she is still considered a concubine. The servants in the palace are indispensable every day. .
But we have to meet him after all, even if the conditions are not mature yet, it would be even more heartbreaking to avoid seeing him, not to mention that Feng Ziying really wants to see Yuanchun.

"Li Qing has arrived in Ningwu. The situation in Shanxi Town is worse than imagined. Shuozhou has been besieged. Part of Su Nang's cavalry has entered Mayi and Shanyin to plunder wildly. Fengzhou Bailian has captured Laoyingbao. ,…”
Yuan Huazhong's tone was full of anger, "Chai Guozhu misled the country and should be executed! Even the old camp was lost. The entire line from Yongxing Fort to Dachungling collapsed. Bajiao Fort and Sancha City were in danger..."
Zhang Huaichang waved his hand, "Minkai, don't be impatient. The situation is not that bad. As long as the Piantou Pass is still there, the situation is not out of control. This happened suddenly. No one expected that Bai Lian had infiltrated the border army." Inside, at such an important pass as Laoyingbao, there is actually a guard commander named Bai Lian, and not one of them. Chai Guozhu is indeed responsible, but this is something to worry about in the future, not now."
It has to be said that Fengzhou Bailian and the Tumut people chose a very good location to break through. They chose the section from Yingenbao to Laoyingbao, and this section was the intersection of Datong Town and Shanxi Town. Feng Ziying was not sure what they were doing. How long it took to prepare for this, but you can get a glimpse of it from the fact that the hundreds of soldiers in Laoyingbao are all White Lotus believers. The White Lotus Sect has worked hard to infiltrate the army.
Now Feng Ziying is still a little worried that Qiu Zixiong and the others have also absorbed many local Shanxi refugees and disaster victims into the army after they entered Shanxi. Because they are both members of the rebel army, they are very liberal in this regard. Of course there is no problem now, but once Qiu Zixiong wants to "repent" "After the chaos is brought to order, the White Lotus cultists here will definitely not follow Qiu Zixiong, but may create chaos, or even continue to lurk in Qiu Zixiong's army as internal agents. That is the most dangerous thing.
"The problem now is that Li Qing just went there. He didn't even have time to familiarize himself with the situation, and he was caught off guard. If the Fengzhou White Lotus rebel army goes south along the inner city wall, can Ningwuguan be defended?" Yuan Huazhong gasped. With a rough breath, he expressed his worries.
"The military strength of Shanxi Town is already weak. Huigou Camp, Piantou Pass, and Laoyingbao have nearly half of the troops concentrated in these three places. Tangjiahuibao, Yangtubao, and Hequ County each have three battalions of 10,000 people. Originally, Lougou The fort also had a battalion, but because they wanted to put down the Pingyang rebel army, they were transferred south, which directly caused the Fengzhou Bailian rebel army to attack the Bajiao Fort and Sancha City without any scruples..."
Sun Chengzong frowned, "How many troops are there in Kelan Prefecture?"
"The border army only has one incomplete battalion, about two thousand people, and the guard army has one battalion." Yang Sichang immediately replied.
“Where is Ninghua Institute?” Sun Chengzong asked again.
"There are less than a thousand guardsmen, and the border troops have been mobilized south." Yang Sichang looked at the document in his hand and replied.
"There are still three battalions of 10,000 people in Ningwuguan. Brother Liqing should be able to stabilize the position. The Tumut people are busy looting, and Fengzhou Bailian's combat power is not strong enough to take Ningwuguan in one fell swoop." Feng Ziying interrupted, "I suggest that we ignore the southern Shanxi side for the time being and mobilize the Shaanxi Guards and Guyuan troops into Shanxi to deal with the southern Shanxi rebels. Shanxi Town and Datong Town go all out to deal with the Tumuts and Fengzhou Bailian."
Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong frowned at the same time, "Ziying, I'm afraid that you'll lose sight of one thing and not have enough time. Once the southern Shanxi rebels move north, Taiyuan will be in danger."
"It's too late, so it can only be like this. Taiyuan City has high walls and thick walls. How can the Taiyuan Guards be that bad? Moreover, the rebels are still far away in Fenzhou and Qinzhou. I don't believe that the Taiyuan Guards will stick to the city for even a month. Can’t support it?” Feng Ziying said categorically: “Send it to Shanxi Dusi. If Taiyuan is lost, everyone from the capital command to guerrillas will be engaged in military law!”
There was silence in the hall, regardless of whether Shannan had to bear huge risks.
Now the rebels have reached the front line of Qinzhou and Fenzhou, and further north is Taiyuan. The counties in the middle are Wenshui, Jiaocheng, Taigu, Qixian, Qingyuan, and Xugou. They seem to be many, but they are all They are crowded together and basically have no resistance. Once the rebels swarm in, they may be able to submerge all these counties within ten days.
Not to mention Taiyuan being captured by the rebel army, even if Taiyuan is besieged, it will cause shock in the world. The impact on the military morale of Shanxi and Datong towns in the north cannot be underestimated. Similarly, the impact on the Tumut people, Fengzhou Bailian, and Shanxi local people cannot be underestimated. The White Lotus cultists will all have a great stimulating effect, which cannot be taken into account.
Furthermore, everyone here is commanding remotely from Beijing, and it also depends on how Yuan Keli, who is on the front line, makes judgments. This is the key.
