Chapter 2363 Gui Zi Juan Who is the imperial court? Whose court?
With messy hair and messy temples, Feng Ziying rarely saw Baochai, who had always been calm and indifferent, looking so charming, even after having fun.
The entire face shows a light red color, and the brows are filled with satisfaction and happiness. The mutton-fat jade-like body also floats with an astonishing luster, like smoke from a jade wall, making it difficult to move away from it.
This is definitely not something that can be brought about by just having fun. I have been married to Baochai for two years in the past, and they have had **** countless times. There has never been anything like this. This is a woman who has reached the ultimate level of physical and mental pleasure. Performance.
Baochai indeed felt that her whole body was filled with excitement and happiness. The print her husband brought her kept her in a dizzy floating state, and the joy that followed made her happy and happy. The sense of fullness was pushed to the extreme, so much so that she had the feeling that a little life was already pregnant in her body today.
Feng Ziying seemed to notice that Baochai was different from usual, and Feng Ziying hugged Baochai even tighter lovingly.
In the past, Baochai would have called Xiangling or Ying'er to come in and wipe her body. She had a slight mysophobia, but she didn't have it today. She even enjoyed the feeling of being motionless in her husband's arms.
“What’s the matter, Baochai?” Feng Ziying asked softly.
“It’s nothing, I just feel so happy, like in a dream.” Baochai felt the heat of her husband’s breath lingering in her ears, and smiled sweetly, “Well, I don’t know if it’s intuition, maybe I will be pregnant today...”
"Oh?" Feng Ziying still believed in this intuition, "Is the day just right?"
Baochai nodded shyly, "The date difference between me and Baoqin is about ten days, which is about the same as Xiangling. They are very punctual. If we calculate it, it should be these days."
"That's good, so tonight you will live up to what I said to my husband. Maybe God will favor us." Feng Ziying smiled, "You, Wan Jun and Daiyu have a son, and this Feng family is considered Really stabilize it so that your parents won’t have to talk about it all day long.”
"My wife is too anxious. My second sister, Miaoyu and Xiuyan all have children. Aren't they also of the same blood as the Feng family? Doesn't my husband often say that as long as they are your children, they are all the same?"
Baochai comforted her husband, but the difference between the concubine and the concubine was too obvious. Even if the husband didn't care, it was impossible for the master, his wife, and the outside world not to care. If three concubines were born, they could not inherit the title unless they were the concubines. It is possible for a son to inherit the talent, or for a legitimate son to give up on his own initiative. Only people like Feng Ziying who entered the official career through imperial examination and became a civil servant would give up.
Of course, if the husband has made great contributions, he can indeed ask the court to reward him with one or two empty titles to give birth to a son, but this must be offset by great achievements.
“Well, it would be great if everyone thinks like you do, but my mother definitely still hopes that you can give birth to a male heir as soon as possible.”
Feng Ziying also stopped talking about this topic. It is impossible for people in this era to change their concepts. This involves the change of the entire ethical system and the relationship between wives and concubines. It is not possible yet.
"Sister Shen's side may be a little more anxious. At least we have the second and third bedrooms. My husband might as well go to Sister Shen's place more..." Baochai said considerately: "How about we hurry up and let the fourth girl come over? She She's not young anymore. How about letting Tan Yatou or Yun Yatou? Tan Yatou might want Daiyu to go to their third room, so what did Yun Yatou think of her husband..."
Feng Ziying felt a little guilty, but also a little comforted. She seemed to have forgotten Shi Xiangyun and Qin Keqing who were still in Shaanxi, as well as the women from the Shui family. Their happy night seemed like a passing cloud, and she had forgotten a little. He went to Jiuxiaoyun, but Baochai's carefulness and consideration made him look even more like a scumbag.
"Well, I've been busy since I returned to Beijing, which made me a little preoccupied with one thing and the other. The Ministry of Etiquette on Girl Yun's side had already canceled her marriage to the Sun family. The biggest crime had nothing to do with her, but the Shi family was still there. The Ministry of Punishment has registered, but I heard from Brother Liu that Shi Nai's sons have sneaked back to the capital. It seems that the Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Mansion didn't have much interference. It seems that they are all waiting for Prince Yi Zhong to ascend the throne before taking a look at the situation. "
Feng Ziying rested her head on the headrest of the bed and hugged Baochai. It was actually very comfortable to talk at such a sage time, her mind was clear and she had more topics to talk about.
This is also what Baochai is most concerned about. After all, the Wang family is her mother's uncle's family, and Wang Ziteng is her biological uncle. The Wang family is listed as the second most rebel family, second only to the Niu family. This noose has always been hanging on everyone and Although the people related to the Wang family were not involved in the Xue family, it still made them sleep uneasy.
Feng Ziying is not sure to answer this question. Although in theory Prince Yitada will definitely amnesty all those who rebelled against the party because of him when he ascends the throne, the cabinet may not agree.
Gai's doing this is equivalent to negating everything the original court has done. Such changes from day to day will greatly damage the court's prestige.
At the same time, this is also a blow to the army fighting against the Niu Wangsun and other rebels. How do you explain the soldiers who died and were maimed in the battle against Niu Wangsun's three tribes? Although they are dead and disabled, their honor in the army is still there. , which will undoubtedly cause instability and dissatisfaction in the military.
Furthermore, according to Feng Ziying's estimation, the agreement reached between the imperial court and Nanjing means that it comes at the expense of resolving the three tribes of Niu Wang, Sun and Chen Jixian and moving towards the substantive status of the vassal town. This is absolutely intolerable.
This can only be a delaying tactic for the imperial court. Once it catches its breath, the imperial court will definitely find various reasons to remove Niu Wangsun and Chen Jixian from their military power. This can be seen from the fact that when they proposed to Zhang Huaichang to transfer the northwest army generals to Beijing, they The attitude can be seen.
In the end, it was only agreed that Tu Wenxiu would be transferred to the army, while Liu Dongyang and Liu Baichuan were still under their father's command, and the idea that the Northwest Army would be disbanded was not mentioned.
After a long time, even Prince Yi Zhong who ascended the throne may not be able to tolerate the formation of a state within a state in the south of the Yangtze River like Niu Wangsun and Chen Jixian. Of course, now he still needs to use these groups as a bargaining chip and to blackmail the imperial court. code, but this situation cannot last forever.
Therefore, Feng Ziying also wrote a letter to her father, asking him to stabilize the situation and prepare for war. Feng Ziying estimated that the preparation time would only be one year at most. Before the end of next year at the latest, the imperial court would definitely use troops against Jiangnan and would never allow it. The most important place of wealth is in the hands of others.
But Feng Ziying could not tell Baochai this inside story.
"Baochai, the situation of the Jia family is relatively simple. It's just that they are on the wrong team. But in this scene, there are so many people who are on the wrong team. How can they all be held accountable? And hasn't Prince Yi Zhong ascended the throne as the emperor? What? Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi are still coming to fight for the throne, so the court may not attach too much importance to the crimes of Zheng Shishu and Jia Jing. I guess there is a high probability that they will be pardoned. The Wang family may also temporarily It will be pardoned, but it’s hard to say whether it will be brought up again in the future.”
Feng Ziying pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "In the final analysis, it depends on the thoughts of Uncle Qi and the others. If I were him, I would take this opportunity to resign. In this way, the court would definitely give him a decent face and return to Beijing safely to become a rich man." , there’s no problem even giving him a title, but if he still wants to hold on to military power, I’m afraid he’ll be in trouble.”
Xue Baochai heard some of the meaning, but didn't understand it all. He asked doubtfully: "Why can Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi compete for senior positions, but my uncle has to resign?"
"Baochai, Tang Binyin, they are civil servants, so what if they enter the cabinet? They were originally from the Jiangnan scholar lineage, and they were just their own masters. Now it is normal for them to merge, and they will eventually become one of them, but Your uncle and others are Wu Xun, who have always been the target of suppression by the court. Didn't you see that my father also wants to keep a low profile? In addition, your uncle is on the wrong side and still holds military power. How can the court tolerate it? Take the initiative to hand over power. , if it does not harm the imperial court, then everyone will be happy; if not, then he will definitely be an enemy of the imperial court."
Baochai raised his head and asked leisurely: "My husband, who is the court? Whose court is it?"
Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment and then laughed. Unexpectedly, Baochai still wanted to understand this truth, "The imperial court, on behalf of God, governs the country and the country, and shares the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. Well, in theory, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats govern together, but there is only one emperor, so Even if it is a saint, he has no choice but to rule from the top, and ultimately leave it to the scholar-bureaucrats to govern. That is why there is a cabinet, seven ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, five temples, and local government offices. Whose court is the right question? Of course. It is the court of the people of the world, and the emperor and the seven ministers of the cabinet govern the country and the country through the court on their behalf."
Baochai glanced at Feng Ziying with a faint look, "Ziying, although what you said makes sense, I always feel that there is a teasing flavor in your tone, well, there is also a strong sense of sarcasm. Wei'er, you are also a scholar, don't you think you care about this system?"
Feng Ziying took a breath. Baochai was quite keen, and she immediately recognized the teasing and joking tone in her words.
"Haha, a little bit. Even I don't know whether this system is what I said, and whether it can represent the common people of the world. It's common for rich families to have wine and meat, and people to freeze to death on the road. I I have been to Shaanxi for more than a year and I have seen too much. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to change much, Baochai, what do you think?" Feng Ziying asked back.
Baochai was surprised. This was the first time she heard her husband speak in such pessimistic words. This was beyond her expectation. In her mind, her husband seemed to be incompetent.
