Chapter 2339 The interests of Gui Zi Juan, weighing the pros and cons
"That's why we have to prepare for a rainy day." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Prince Yi Zhong is not stupid. How could people like Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi not make suggestions for him? But how could Ye Xiang and the others not understand these things? But then again, After all, Tang Mi and others are scholars. Once they really want to integrate, Mr. Wan, do you think they will continue to be loyal to the imperial power represented by Prince Yi Zhong, or will they betray and defend the power of the prime minister represented by the scholars?"
Feng Ziying's question made Shen Yixiu fall into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said: "My husband, this question is too sharp and profound. I don't know how to answer it for a while, or I can't make a conclusion, but I still I think the latter is more likely. After all, it is too difficult to completely break away from the status of a scholar. Of course, it does not rule out that some individuals cooperate with the emperor for their own interests..."
Feng Ziying glanced at his wife appreciatively and nodded: "Wan Jun is right. As for cooperating with someone for profit, that's normal. Even Ye Xiang and the others can sometimes cooperate with the emperor. Isn't that strange? The key is what the general trend and normality are.”
Shen Yixiu also nodded, "But as my husband said, Nanjing is now in a weak position. I'm afraid the conditions proposed by the cabinet will be stronger and more beneficial to the cabinet, right?"
"Theoretically, this is true, but Wan Jun seems to have forgotten that there is a variable of martial arts." Feng Ziying said leisurely: "Chen Jixian, Niu Jizong, Wang Ziteng, and even my father, are they considered variables?"
Shen Yixiu's expression changed slightly and he lowered his head in thought.
Feng Ziying knew that her words had worried the good wife again, so she walked over and put her arms around Shen Yixiu's shoulders, "Don't worry too much. Since your husband has thought of it, there must be countermeasures. The Feng family is so special. I am a civil servant. My father is also a military commander, so the choice between this is certainly difficult, but it doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t strike a balance.”
Shen Yixiu sighed softly, stood up and put his face on her husband's shoulder, "It's good that my husband understands that you are not just you, you also have my concubine, Tong Niang and other sisters as a whole family. Everything is needed." Be more thoughtful.”
Shen Yixiu also saw the hidden worries behind the prosperity of the Feng family.
The husband is the leader of the young generation among civil servants, but the father-in-law is also a representative of the powerful faction among the military men.
From the husband’s point of view, he must unswervingly take the first and second path.
But from the perspective of the father-in-law, or the Feng family, it is also indispensable to maintain the Feng family's status in the military and ensure that the Feng family's children can inherit the Feng family's influence in the military in the future.
The two are somewhat contradictory.
It is true that the husband became famous in the imperial examinations, had amazing talents, and had a smooth career as a civil servant, but what about his children?
Who can guarantee that all their children and grandchildren will be able to study well and continue to be civil servants and honor their ancestors?
But it is much easier to take the warrior path.
In the military, it is much easier to continue the influence of the Wu Xun family, which is also the most difficult to let go.
Feng Tang’s original idea was that if Feng Ziying failed to achieve success in school, he would immediately follow him to the military for training, and then gradually inherit the Feng family’s connections and influence in the military, so that he could take over in the future and become a second-generation military officer.
But who would have thought that Feng Ziying could be so good at reading, and even surpassed Feng Tang himself on the road of civil servants.
His wife is very smart and has seen the conflicts inside. Of course Feng Ziying understands, but it is too early to consider these now. Neither her father nor she has reached that stage when it comes to conflicts.
"Don't worry, the car has its own way to the mountain. My husband understands that now Wan Jun should give priority to seizing the time to give birth to an heir for my husband." Feng Ziying kissed his wife's earlobe lovingly, "Tonight Wan Jun must serve his husband well, and his husband must kill everyone and attack without restraint..."
Shen Yixiu was overcome with emotion by her husband's frivolous words and her cheeks were flushed. Shen Yixiu glanced at her husband charmingly, but she just held her husband's arm and pressed her body closer. Feng Ziying naturally understood it. This was the wife's acceptance. "invitation" and "challenge".
"Ms. sir, if the Jia family's rebellion case can be solved, then the four girls can marry into our house earlier." Shen Yixiu whispered softly, "Our eldest brother's house is still a little thin, Qingwen and Yun Shang This girl doesn’t live up to expectations,…”
"You can't rush the Jia family's affairs. We have to wait until the negotiations with Nanjing are over before we can have a unified way to deal with it. Wan Jun doesn't need to be anxious. He said that he still needs to work hard. Okay..." Feng Ziying gently patted Shen Yixiu's belly, "It's time for Tong Niang to have a younger brother."
Shen Yixiu finally asked a key question. Baochai and Daiyu may both have questions about this question, but due to human emotions, they are unable to ask it directly. It is more appropriate for Shen Yixiu to ask it.
Feng Ziying also knows that this problem cannot be circumvented.
The Feng family is nominally one house, and it seems that they are all tied to oneself. However, from the perspective of the clan, it is actually three houses. Concurrently means that the three houses stand side by side and are unrelated. In the future, The descendants also carry on the incense of each family.
The property of these three families will be clearly divided in the future. Of course, even my father is still here and I am still in my prime, none of this exists, but when I am a hundred years from now, it will definitely be clearly divided.
"I'm afraid Wan Jun asked this question for many people. I guess even Yuanyang, Ping'er and Jinchuan'er themselves are uneasy and feel uneasy. It turns out that they followed me when I told them to, and they seemed to be alone. Independent, but now it seems a bit contradictory, then Wanjun, do you have any good ideas?" Feng Ziying asked softly.
Shen Yixiu shook his head, "I never thought about it. My husband should make his own decision."
************
Feng Ziying raised her head and thought for a while, but did not speak. She just nodded to show that she understood. "Is this an idle general from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion?"
Looking at this thick stack of rosters and files, Feng Ziying couldn't help but take a breath, "How many are there?"
"Haha, you may not have thought of it. Since the 30th year of Yuanxi, there have been no less than 80 people entering the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion from various border towns, governors and guards. Excluding some who are older and in poor health, There are also some who are obviously weak and unsuitable for military management. There are probably about thirty people who meet the requirements now..."
Wang Wenyan said casually while introducing him: "This does not include the people who are still in the border towns and local government departments who are interested in coming to Beijing to seek these positions. It can be said that this stone stirred up a thousand waves, and countless people craned their necks to look at this. It’s a big adjustment.”
Feng Ziying flipped through it briefly, then closed the roster and files, "Have you carefully screened the origins, resumes, origins, and classical Chinese of these people?"
"Well, I have screened them and listed them in categories. Considering that there are no boundaries for the time being as you proposed, the scope of inclusion is relatively large. It is mainly based on ability, prestige and connections. Of course, in the last step, I also noted the attitude and tendency in the column, which may be the key to the final choice.”
Feng Ziying is also very satisfied with Wang Wenyan's understanding of her feelings.
Selection of general positions is a major event, and position is the most critical, but several other elements are also indispensable. Each position needs to list several candidate candidates, and select the best among the best.
In addition, even the current officials of the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp and the Shangsanqinjun are not necessarily excluded, and it is not impossible to even be promoted and reused. Everything will be decided based on needs.
"Wen Yan, Miao Zhuang, Liao Junxiong and Du Keli, do you know these three people?" Feng Ziying finally got to the point, "You should know that the fate of these three is the most critical."
"Sir, before you went to Liaodong, you mentioned that the imperial court might want to seize the military power in Beijing. Of course, the collection of intelligence on these three people did not start now. From the time you brought us to Beijing, This work has been done. When you were the Prime Minister of Shuntian, we received more resources and the work was done in more detail. I can responsibly say that our understanding of these three people is no less than that of Long Jinwei. How much, maybe each has its own emphasis."
Hearing Wang Wenyan's determination, Feng Ziying felt more at ease. These three people must move, but how to move can satisfy all parties, and at the same time, these people must obey honestly and not cause any trouble. It is the most important test of one's ability and means.
There is undoubtedly some secrets of these three guys in Wang Wenyan's words. It doesn't sound very bright, but these things in the darkness are often the most real and effective.
Just like myself, do you dare to say that Long Jinwei didn't know that he had an affair with Wang Xifeng and even had an illegitimate child? Don’t you know that he slept with a woman from Wang Shui’s family in Beijing County in Shaanxi?
As for Wang Xifeng running a cement business with his own support, it is probably no secret to Long Jinwei and even the court.
Maybe it’s just that her affair with Yuan Chun and Guo Qinyun has not been discovered yet, but as long as it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before Long Jinwei notices it. Feng Ziying knows this in her heart.
However, Long Jinwei's awareness must be based on the situation and the person. Especially now, when there is no leader, the power of the cabinet is increasing day by day. As a leader of young civil servants, Long Jinwei also has to consider their own interests. Benefit.
Especially when the interests of their small group are no longer so integrated with the emperor's, I'm afraid they have to think carefully about whether they are still willing to quarrel over some "insignificant" "trivial matters" .
