Chapter 2341 The power of the Gui Scroll, overriding
Feng Ziying entered the palace together with King Zhongshun.
Now Feng Ziying seems to have even the imperial guards at the palace gate looking at her with a complicated look, but it is probably due to her own overthinking.
Even if the middle and high-level generals of the Forbidden Army were to be purged, it would not be the turn of the middle- and low-level military attachés and soldiers below. They would go about their lives as usual, and the discord and mutual slander between the three armies would remain the same.
"The court is doing this. It seems that the eldest brother is really addicted to living as an emperor?" King Zhongshun's voice was low, his brows were frowning, and he seemed to be concerned about this.
"Unless the emperor regains his consciousness immediately and is healthy again, it may make the princes change their attitude." Feng Ziying said nonchalantly: "My lord, what are you worried about? It won't hurt you no matter who ascends the throne. Do you think it's arrogant? This sect is very majestic and has a sense of accomplishment?"
Zong Renling is the current position held by King Zhongshun. Feng Ziying is also thinking about asking King Zhongshun to arrange a position for Jia Baoyu in the Zongren Mansion.
Now the relationship between Feng Ziying and King Zhongshun and King Zhonghui can be described as sweet and sweet. King Zhongshun and King Zhonghui also realize that the general trend cannot be violated.
As Emperor Yonglong was assassinated and fell into coma and became delirious, the power of Shilin civil servants expanded rapidly, and the friendship he had formed with Feng Ziying earlier became more important now.
As a leader among young civil servants, maintaining a good relationship at this time can at least ensure that it will be of great benefit to your family in the next twenty or even thirty years.
Confused by Feng Ziying's words, he hesitated for a moment, and King Zhongshun said quietly: "That's not what you said, Ziying. I know that the cabinet has plans, but the eldest brother has a changeable temperament. I will ask one more question, The eldest brother is now in his fifties and his health was fine a few years ago. But in the past two years, especially after running south to Jinling, I heard that he has worked day and night and his body is not as good as before. How long can he be able to do this? The cabinet plans to let the four Should my sons succeed to the throne, or should I let the eldest brother, the heir apparent, succeed to the throne?"
This issue should also be one of the focus issues that the court and Prince Yohitada have been unable to discuss.
As far as Feng Ziying knows, the cabinet wants to keep this power in its own hands and decide when the time comes, but Prince Yizhong certainly won't do it.
He is very clear about how long he can be emperor. If he cannot ensure that his son succeeds to the throne, then it will be meaningless for him to be the emperor. Just like the previous Emperor Jingtai of Ming Dynasty, once a person dies, he will be wiped out.
But Emperor Jingtai's son died and he had no sons. He was different. He had many sons. In addition to the crown prince, he also had three sons. He wanted to ensure that his own lineage could inherit the throne.
Feng Ziying would not do the same thing. This would almost be like handing over the lives of his sons to the hands of the cabinet ministers. If the son of Emperor Yonglong were to succeed, would they let their sons go? Who can guarantee that? Are you working so hard just to be an emperor for a few years?
Hence Feng Ziying’s consideration, Prince Yi Zhong must ensure his son’s right to inherit the throne even if he makes huge concessions in other aspects.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to worry about it? In my opinion, for someone like Prince Yi Zhong, this throne would rather not be done well." Feng Ziying also lowered his voice so that only he and Prince Zhongshun could hear it.
Haitong Yinzhuang has firmly bound their interests. Now King Zhongshun is Feng Ziying’s most loyal supporter, so they are not shy about some outrageous words.
It can be said that even if Emperor Yonglong recovers now, it will not affect King Zhongshun's support and trust in Feng Ziying.
"I don't want to worry about these things, but I always have to think about it. No matter who succeeds, I just hope that things will go smoothly." King Zhongshun said what was in his heart, "Don't make any trouble. The smoky atmosphere makes people panic..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the cabinet will make its own decisions." Feng Ziying looked at the Qianqing Palace in front of her, "Let's go. Anyway, Your Majesty, no matter what, I guarantee that you will be fine."
King Zhongshun was in a somewhat complicated mood, and looked at Feng Ziying with a strange look.
These words were said by a young man in his early twenties to the prince who was called the number one prince in the Zhou Dynasty. It always felt a little meaningful, but he had a certain feeling in his heart, as if what this man said was ironclad. will come true.
Looking at the thin face of the sleeping Emperor Yonglong, who was still a little confused, Feng Ziying and Prince Yi Zhong exchanged glances, then glanced at several chamberlains and two young women standing aside, and then nodded. Withdrew.
Every day, an important official of the third rank or above would come to visit the imperial court. The seven ministers and ministers plus the deputy censors of the Duchayuan would come in turns. Of course, the ministers and censors came less often, so most of the time they were here. The ministers and deputy imperial envoys came, so there were only about twenty people here, and the ones who came more were the ministers.
Feng Ziying had just returned to Beijing before, so she rushed to Liaodong before it was her turn. Now that she came back from Liaodong, she naturally had to take up this task.
The chamberlains were all familiar with Feng Ziying. After all, Feng Ziying had been summoned to the palace several times by the emperor when she was still in Hanlin Academy and Yongping Mansion. However, the two young women were obviously not familiar with Feng Ziying, especially when they saw that it was Prince Zhongshun himself. When Tsukuru entered the palace, he was even more surprised and whispered a few words to the side.
Feng Ziying ignored him, said a few words to King Zhongshun, and then left the palace.
The sunshine outside the palace is bright, and the cold feeling inside the palace is like two different worlds.
Feng Ziying put her hands behind her back and stood outside the palace on a platform two feet away from the porch. Except for a few chamberlains, the rest of the chamberlains and the two women followed.
Seeing his eyes fall on the two women, King Zhongshun guessed that Feng Ziying did not recognize him, so he introduced Feng Ziying: "Ziying, this is Concubine Xianlun, this is Princess Taining,..., Concubine, Taining, this is Mr. Feng, the right minister of the Ministry of War."
Concubine Xianlun, Wu Guxia? Concubine Wu? Who is Princess Taining born from? It should not be the child of Xu Junru, Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinyun. It seems that she is sixteen or seventeen years old and not yet married? Maybe it was delayed for two years because the emperor was in coma.
After hearing King Zhongshun's introduction, Feng Ziying nodded and bowed to the two women. The two women did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the gift with Wanfu.
"How is the emperor today?" Feng Ziying turned her attention to several chamberlains, "Shu Chun, long time no see, are you still with the emperor now?"
The first chamberlain was overjoyed. This little Feng Xiuzhan still remembered his name, and it was not in vain that he deliberately made friends with him when he entered the palace. He quickly bowed and said: "My lord, this servant has always been by the emperor's side and has never left. The emperor has been in good health these past two days, but he has slept more and eaten normally..."
Hearing Zhou Shuchun’s introduction, Feng Ziying nodded obligingly.
Emperor Yonglong's situation has been like this for so long. He can stay awake for two or three hours every day. This awakening is not just about being conscious, but also means that he is no longer drowsy, can eat, and can even be pushed out on a cart to bask in the sun and move around. Move around.
Neither King Zhongshun nor the two women expected that Feng Ziying even knew the emperor's personal attendants, and were quite surprised. However, considering that Feng Ziying had visited the palace many times, King Zhongshun thought it was normal, but the two women felt a little unusual.
They had already heard of Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, and now he was gradually replaced by the name of Governor Xiao Feng. He turned the tide in the battle of Liaodong and defeated the Jurchens in Jianzhou. This ability is not something anyone can rely on. You can earn it with luck, but you have to rely on real ability. No one dares to rely on luck to win this reputation.
But they didn't expect Feng Ziying to be so powerful in the palace. King Zhongshun personally accompanied her into the palace. One of the emperor's closest servants was so respectful and even overjoyed at her words. It really made people sigh and make people think. .
"In that case, Shuchun, you should worry more about it. You should take more care of everything around the emperor. Don't let irrelevant people interfere with the emperor's rest. You can also take advantage of the good weather to take the emperor out to bask in the sun. Bask in the sun and relax,..." Feng Ziying ordered slowly.
It's up to Zhou Shuchun to deal with this idler, but those who can survive by the emperor's side are all human beings with blinking eyebrows. I believe he understands what it means.
The chamberlain named Zhou was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly and took note of Feng Ziying's instructions. He agreed, and then walked backwards and left with a group of chamberlains under Feng Ziying's gaze.
It was only at this time that Feng Ziying turned her attention back to the two women in front of her who were a little uneasy and even wanted to avoid her gaze.
Feng Ziying did not realize that her influence and power were now enough to create an unexpected sense of coercion and shock to the women in the palace.
These women are not ignorant of things inside and outside the court. Just as the imperial court intends to adjust the entire three major battalions of the Beijing Camp and the Shangsanqin Army, they are also very concerned about it.
The three major battalions of the Beijing camp are just that, but the Shangsanqinjun directly targets the palace ban, which means that no matter who wants to enter or leave the palace in the future, the Shangsanqinjun they will face will no longer be in charge of the palace, but Under the direct control of the Ministry of War, the so-called chief eunuch's command authority over the Shangsanqin army will also be vested in the Ministry of War, or in other words, the chief **** must also obey the Ministry of War in this regard.
For Xianlun Concubine Wu Guxia, her father and brother were both generals in the army. Not only did the person in front of her have power that penetrated into the palace, but he was also directly in charge of the future of his father and brother. He could be said to have the power of life and death of the Wu family. No matter what, She didn't want to offend either.
The same is true for Princess Taining. Her uncle, King Zhongshun, is a member of the clan, but this one has a sworn relationship with her uncle. Now her marriage has not been settled yet, and her father is unconscious, so the clan government is against her. I have the right to interfere in my own marriage, and I don’t know what the future will hold.
