Chapter 2526 Gui Zijuan is ambitious and the sword is pointing at chaos.
Feng Ziying was shocked again by Feng Ziying's words. Feng Tang really couldn't understand his son.
From Datong to Beijing, Feng Tang’s impression was that after returning from that trip to Linqing, his son seemed to be a completely different person, a completely different person.
He dared to dive out of the city to find Chen Jingxuan for help, and then defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. After returning to the capital, he was extraordinarily determined. He made progress in his studies and became famous in the imperial examination. Everything has changed a lot from the son who was by his side. Even Feng Tang They are all a little surprised that their son has grown up so fast.
As time went by, the changes in his son became even more astonishing. Feng Tang was very proud that a family from a martial arts family had such a good scholar.
After entering the Hanlin Academy, Ningxia's counter-insurgency efforts could be said to have its own edification and cultivation, but the strategy of opening up the sea was to enlighten the deaf and enlighten the people, which suddenly caused an uproar in the court.
Feng Tang can only be attributed to the education and training of Qingtan Academy. Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, two scholarly scholars, made contributions to their teachings.
Later on, it became overwhelming. The Tongzhi of Yongping Prefecture, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, and then the governor of Shaanxi Province, all displayed tricks that made people admire them.
During all these experiences, both inside and outside the court, as well as civil and military officials, they all had to say that a tiger father has no dog son, which even made Feng Tang feel ashamed.
It seems that I am really not worthy of this tiger father. His son's performance has far surpassed mine.
After being shocked, Feng Tang looked at his son with a complicated expression, and after a long time he sighed and said: "Ziying, I know you have grown up and have your own ideas, but you have a family with three bedrooms, and you have eight or nine wives and concubines. Are you done? The three and four girls of the Jia family have just passed away, and you have taken Li Shouzhong's two nieces and Zhen Yingyu's daughter as concubines. You should take it easy on yourself, Master Zhang can't protect your health for the rest of your life."
Feeling a little embarrassed by her father's sincere words, Feng Ziying scratched her head and said solemnly: "My son has memorized his father's teachings."
“Hey, you can weigh it yourself.” Feng Tang shook his head: “I’m going back to the Governor’s Mansion of the Fifth Army, what about you? I guess you won’t be in your current position as Minister of War for a long time, right?”
“Well, if nothing unexpected happens, my son will go to Nanjing to take over as Duke Liuji in June.” Feng Ziying nodded.
"Governor of Jiangnan?" Feng Tang's eyes lit up again, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It will be different if you take this step."
"Why did my father say that? Didn't my son just go to Shaanxi as a governor and come back?" Feng Ziying didn't take it seriously.
"Hmph, how can the governor of Shaanxi compare with the governor of Jiangnan? I haven't seen that the imperial court always asked Mr. Gu Ge to serve as the first governor of Jiangnan?" Feng Tang scolded: "If you go to Nanjing with this mentality, it's best It’s better not to go. If you have this opportunity, I’m afraid your Master Qi will have to say a lot of things for you before you can do it. You should think about it yourself.”
Feng Ziying quickly stood up to be taught, and Feng Tang's expression softened slightly.
"Although we are from the north, we have to admit that there is truth in the statement that the imperial court has more wealth than Jiangnan. Although there has been improvement in recent years, the imperial court cannot operate without the support of Jiangnan's wealth. This is also an indisputable fact. You Those tricks are fine for a temporary emergency, but in the long run they are of little use..."
Feng Tang is talking about the investigation and handling of various "major cases" that Feng Ziying continued to engage in in Beijing and Nanjing.
Feng Ziying is certainly aware of this.
"You have enough connections among the gentry in the North, but you must not underestimate the Jiangnan area. If you want to join the cabinet as the chief minister in the future, the support of the Jiangnan gentry is indispensable, otherwise you will be the chief minister. The foundation of Fu is also unstable and cannot last long."
Feng Ziying asked unhurriedly: "Father, do you only need the support of scholars to be the chief minister? What about warriors?"
Feng Tang was stunned for a moment and took a deep look at his son: "When you are a chief assistant, the support of scholars is essential, but if you want to be a chief assistant who can compete with the emperor, or even overwhelm him, you can't do it without the support of military men."
"Fortunately, our Feng family comes from a martial arts background and has a strong foundation among the martial arts people in the border town. This is also the confidence that my son can serve as the minister of the Ministry of War." Feng Ziying smiled and said: "My son thinks that since this is our confidence and foundation , then we must continue to maintain it, this is something that no one else can compare with my son, and it may have a greater effect in the future."
Feng Tang couldn't sit still. He felt that his son's words were becoming more and more implicit and meaningful, so he asked in a deep voice: "It is not a good thing for civil servants and military officials to be too close..."
“Long Jinwei is probably not very happy with this situation.” Feng Tang had to remind him.
"Indeed, it might have been like this if it was the Long Jinwei in the past, but in the current situation, Long Jinwei has too much time to take care of himself. Lu Song hasn't even found his own position yet, can he still take care of me?" Feng Ziying said with a soft smile.
"Ziying, what do you want to do?" Feng Tang finally changed his expression, "Don't be so bold as to make a mistake for yourself or others."
Feng Ziying blinked her eyes and said innocently: "My son didn't do anything. Isn't it just like what his father said? When he becomes the chief minister, he should be someone who can control the government and do what he wants without being interfered by others." Chief Assistant, shouldn’t the warriors be a strong helping hand in the hands of the son? Without them, how can the son be confident and bold enough to realize his ambitions?”
Feng Tang was dumbfounded and speechless. After a while, he asked quietly: "Ziying, tell your father, what are your ambitions?"
"How do you describe the ambition in your son's heart?" Feng Ziying looked serious, "Maybe it is like the world of great harmony described in the "Book of Rites", but it is too illusory. To be more specific, I hope that the people under the imperial court can They have no worries about food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, and scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all perform their respective responsibilities. As a court, it is supposed to strive for a better living environment for the people under its rule, whether it is to expand territory or develop industry, commerce and agriculture, so that there are no hidden dangers internally and strong enemies externally. ,…”
Feng Tang was speechless and said hesitantly: "Ziying, your ambition is a bit too ambitious. Even if you become the chief minister, you may not be able to realize it. The situation of the great Zhou Dynasty may not be satisfactory to the chief minister. "
"That's why my son is more considerate. The scholars and civil servants in our court are too rigid and believe that only they can govern politics. In fact, they all have their own strengths in culture, Taoism and military strategy, so they are not necessarily the same. Whoever you want to belittle and overwhelm."
Feng Tang now understood Feng Ziying's words. According to Feng Ziying's intention, he wanted to form an alliance with warriors, enhance his status as warriors to enrich his own strength, and lay a solid foundation for future governance without interference.
But this grand ambition is really not easy to realize, and when you reach a certain height, you may not think so.
After pondering for a long time, Feng Tang couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "Ziying, there are only you and me, father and son. Please tell me the truth to my father. Where do you really want to go in the future?"
Anyone who wants to seize military power obviously has some intention, and Feng Tang could not help but think this.
The civil servants of the imperial court gathered military power through the system, but because this model of using civil servants to control military power was difficult to gain the sincere support of the military people, this also resulted in the emperor being often more recognized by the military people.
However, the emperor's time was to conquer the country. Once he returned to peace, he had to rely on civil servants to govern the country, so this forced the emperor to elevate the civil servants to a higher position. This also became a paradox. .
"Father, how do you want your son to answer your question?" Feng Ziying laughed, "My son said before that his ambition is to do something he wants to do, and to work tirelessly in this direction. As for Talking about other things is not something that my son should consider. Many times, maybe once we get to that point, we just let nature take its course, right? It's too early to talk about unrealistic things now."
Feng Tang took a deep look at his son and finally nodded: "Ziying, remember, you have to understand the meaning of everything you do. You still have a large family. As for being a father, Bian, just ask your father what you need to do, but you must explain it clearly to your father."
Battle tiger brothers, and the father and son soldiers, Feng Ziying certainly understood his father's warning and reminder, nodded: "Father rest assured that his son has never been reckless Menglang, this father should understand."
Although he didn't make it clear, Feng Tang didn't ask further. He just needed to remind his son to understand what he was doing.
His son's performance is enough to reassure him that he will never act rashly without a complete plan.
The next topic Feng Ziying also focused on Liu Dongyang and Liu Baichuan.
These two rebel generals have now become Feng Tang's confidants. They are no less valued than Cao Wenzhao, He Shixian and He Renlong. They are even closer than the brothers of the You family in Jizhen. .
Feng Ziying also needs to give a detailed explanation of the situation of the two of them, so that after returning, how to persuade Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong to arrange the two of them into appropriate positions.
Although the chief soldiers of the second town of Yulin and Shanxi will be vacant, and even if Ma Chengxun goes to Jingxiang Town, even the chief soldiers of Xuanfu Town will be vacant, it does not mean that Er Liu can take over as the chief soldier.
No matter how Feng Ziying recommended him, the imperial court would not allow such important positions to be filled entirely by people from the northwest. This was not in line with the imperial court's balancing strategy, even if Feng Tang retired and entered the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
