Chapter 2375 Gui Zi Juan is suspicious and has an ulterior motive.
"It's not appropriate to let other people know about this matter yet." Zhang Huaichang made the final decision, "For the time being, it's enough for the three of us to know in our minds. What the cabinet means is that Prince Yi Zhong will consider choosing an auspicious day in September after he ascends the throne, which means we still have two We will prepare carefully over the next month. If we need to expand the scope of information, the three of us must unanimously agree to prevent the news from leaking in advance."
“Where is Mingqi?” Feng Ziying frowned.
If it needs to be done, it will involve the Ministry of Accounts and the loan from Haitong Bank. This cannot be done in a day or two. It needs to be prepared at least a month in advance.
Pay, food, military supplies, and boatmen all need to be prepared in advance. However, if arranged in advance, there is a possibility of leaking secrets. Therefore, if you want to keep such a large-scale military operation confidential, it is impossible to do so. Say, cover it up as much as possible, or use other reasons to cover it up.
"Slow down a little bit." Zhang Huaichang also found it difficult, "But the Ministry of Revenue must not cover it up for too long. What if we increase the allocation on the grounds that the Jurchens in Jianzhou, Liaodong have another change? In this way, Denglai and Jizhen It makes sense to take action.”
"I think it's okay." Sun Chengzong also agreed, "The Ministry of Household Affairs cannot be bypassed. Huang Ruliang is trustworthy. How to operate? He is a veteran of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He should know how to deal with it. As long as all the ministers in the cabinet have no objections, there is still a chance to log in." I'm afraid Lai Shui Division also needs to inform us in advance, otherwise it will be too late."
Zhang Huaichang thought for a while and nodded, "Ziying went to communicate with Shen Yourong and told him that he was the only one who could know about it for the time being. Denglai Navy was reorganizing internally. He would find his own reasons, whether it was to reinforce Liaodong or to go south to join forces with Fujian Navy. Whether it's a drill or not, it's up to him, but it can't arouse suspicion from outsiders."
The three people quickly divided the work. Zhang Huaichang was responsible for persuading the cabinet, Feng Ziying was responsible for communicating with Huang Ruliang and Denglai Navy Shen Yourong, and Sun Chengzong was responsible for liaison and deployment with Jizhen and Mao Wenlong's troops in Liaodong.
This also involves the fact that Xiong Tingbi’s Jingxiang Town wants to transfer eastward to today’s Huguang, creating an illusion to attract the prince’s tribe.
It also involved the need to requisition and rent a large number of ships. Feng Ziying’s opinion was based on the need to establish Dongjiang Town on the Pi Island and Jiuliancheng lines, start preliminary preparations, and the Japanese Japanese pirates have moved again.
With a time limit of one month, if everything goes well within a month, then start the plan. If there are only mistakes or problems, then it can only be shelved temporarily.
Just considering so many things, Feng Ziying also suggested that she could consider recruiting a few more people to participate. After all, there will be follow-up contacts and running around, and it is definitely impossible for just three people to do it.
But Zhang Huaichang said that he should wait until there is progress or the possibility of progress for a period of time before considering it. Otherwise, if the matter fails and the whole city is in trouble, it will be a disaster.
I have to say that Zhang Huaichang’s point of view is more stable. There is really nothing that can be kept secret these days. One more person means more risk of leakage.
Shen Yixiu quickly noticed that Feng Ziying was worried when she returned home.
Shen Yixiu asked, but Feng Ziying was not able to answer. She only said that there were unusual movements in Liaodong and Yarkand, and that there were signs of Japanese pirates invading the southeast coast, so she managed to fool Shen Yixiu.
This is the most difficult thing to hide from the person next to you, especially a woman like Shen Yixiu who is also very familiar with current affairs. If you let out a little bit of information, she may find out the problem.
In addition to this major event, the adjustments of the armies in Beijing still need to continue and cannot be delayed. This round of adjustments needs to be completely completed before Prince Yohitada ascends the throne in September.
This complicated matter, coupled with the fact that she was worried about such a big thing but couldn't tell anyone, gave Feng Ziying an unprecedented amount of pressure since she came to this world. This state has never happened before, either when the governor of Shaanxi quelled chaos and established rules and regulations, or when he went to the south of the Yangtze River.
That night while resting in Shen Yixiu's house, Feng Ziying's performance was not satisfactory, which made Shen Yixiu realize the seriousness of the problem.
This is a situation that has never happened in so many years of marriage. Based on my husband's temperament, basically nothing can affect his performance in sexual intercourse.
On the second day, it was the turn of the second room. Shen Yixiu learned that she was resting in the Yingchun house. She knew that her husband was a womanizer, so naturally she couldn't ask Yingchun, so she asked Qingwen to go to Siqi to find out.
Qingwen was also surprised.
"Grandma, what's going on? Why do you want to pry into these secrets?" Qingwen's eyes made Shen Yixiu blush a little.
To tell the truth, it would undoubtedly be a bit embarrassing for a grown-up woman to inquire about these situations. But when she asked her husband, he just said that he was too busy with court affairs, but didn't say much. But based on Shen Yixiu's understanding of her husband, if she had not done anything in the past, Her husband would always reveal a little bit about everything to him, but this time he kept silent. Shen Yixiu felt that Yerqiang and Japan's unrest and the Jurchen nuisance in Jianzhou were all excuses.
Stealing food outside is a trivial matter. These days, as many officials in the imperial court are raising outside wives as there are crucian carp crossing the river. Especially those whose families are not in the capital and who find it troublesome to keep concubines. They have two or three rooms outside. Very normal.
Shen Yixiu knew that her husband had some connections with Wang Xifeng from Tianjin Wei and a Jurchen woman, but she never asked.
Let this kind of thing be left to its own devices. Over time, you will get tired of it, and the novelty will no longer exist, so you will naturally let it go.
This is how Israeli waiters are. As long as they are not given a status, they will never be able to get in.
Shen Yixiu is worried that her husband will hurt his body when he meets those **** **** who scrape the bones and **** the marrow. That is the key.
So she asked Qingwen to go to Yingchun's place to inquire about the situation and see if her husband was the same as her at Yingchun's place. If there was no problem, then it was because he was in poor condition occasionally. If it was the same as hers, then she really needed to pay attention to it. .
Of course there was nothing to hide from Qingwen and Shen Yixiu. Shen Yixiu snorted softly, "My husband was resting in my room the night before. You were also on duty. My husband was not in a good mood. I was wondering if my husband was tired, but It’s not like someone who is absent-minded, not very energetic afterward, and distracted when talking,..."
Qingwen's cheeks were slightly red. Naturally, she had to help clean up the night shift the day before. When grandma said this, it seemed true. In the past, uncles would take advantage of her and joke about it, but that day it seemed like Went to bed early.
“Grandma suspects that I have someone outside?” Qingwen understood immediately and nodded, “When grandma said this, I think it’s a bit suspicious, but isn’t the woman outside me...”
Qingwen didn't say anything, but Shen Yixiu knew, "My husband didn't go to Tianjin Wei, and he probably didn't come to the capital city. I asked Ruixiang, Baoxiang, and the third sister. It shouldn't be the case. I'm afraid it's something else... "
"So grandma wants me to go to Siqi's place to ask how I am resting in the second girl's room?" Qingwen immediately said: "That's not necessarily the reason. If I am really tired, I will not be able to rest on the first day." I'm resting at Miss Xing's place in the third room. Why don't grandma ask Miss Xing..."
Shen Yixiu also felt a headache. Asking here and there would inevitably leak the news and let others know about it, which would not be good. "You should ask Si Qi first, and I'll think about it here."
When Qingwen found Si Qi and chatted for a long time, Si Qi became impatient. He put his hands on his hips and puffed out his big breasts: "Qingwen, this little hooves never comes to me." Here, I have been talking here for a long time today, what exactly do you want to ask?"
Qingwen was also offended by Si Qi's words. She glared and asked bitterly: "Okay, I'll open the skylight and speak openly. Did I rest in the second girl's room last night?"
Si Qi was suspicious: "Yes, so what?"
Qingwen groaned for a long time before asking: "How are you doing? Have you been with the second girl..."
Siqi screamed strangely, looked Qingwen up and down, and almost wanted to tear Qingwen's mouth apart: "Little Hoof, you are crazy. You came here to inquire about the secrets of the masters, and you are not allowed to strip them if you let the ladies know about it." Off your skin? Why do you ask? Do you think I will tell you? "
Qingwen was also unfazed: "Don't pretend in front of me, as if you haven't gone to bed with me yet. My grandma was worried that he was unwell during this period, so she asked me to find out where he was. Is there anything wrong while the second girl is resting in the room,..."
Hearing what Qingwen said so confidently, and knowing that Qingwen was not a nasty person who liked to dig out people's secrets, Si Qi said thoughtfully: "You really came here for this? It was your grandma who asked you to come. of?"
"Why did my grandma let me come? It's just that I saw that my grandma was worried, and you were with the second girl, so I volunteered to come. It was all for the sake of my health. You and I are not just young ladies, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. ." After saying that, Qingwen became even more calm.
Si Qi nodded: "What you said is quite true. I was not in a good mood last night, so I went to Anlang's place to sit for a while, and then when I came back, I hugged the girl and fell asleep..."
Qingwen was surprised, "Master and the second girl fell asleep without having fun?"
This is really a big problem. I love all girls, so how can I sleep without a single night?
"No, I just went to bed first. After midnight, I got interested in having fun with the girl for a while. I went to clean up. If it were in the past, I would probably have to go through a lot of trouble, but last night I just got rid of it. I fell asleep in two hours and got up early this morning and went to the public house."
Si Qi also showed a hint of worry on his face, "Qingwen, do you think I'm really in bad health, or..."
"Or is there another woman outside?" Qingwen said coldly: "This is exactly what we want to find out."
