Chapter 2554 Gui Zi Juan Zhou Zhao Ergong, Wei Wu Song Zu, who should I choose?
Feng Ziying was a little frightened, especially when he saw the ambition and utilitarianism in Qin Keqing's burning eyes, which made him subconsciously rub his chin.
“The Princess Ying thinks so highly of me, what’s the reason?”
Feng Ziying calmed down his state of mind. Concubine Ying had experienced several emperors, so she naturally had some knowledge and knowledge. However, it still made him feel a little frightened to think so highly of herself.
"She said that you have become the top civil servant at the age of less than thirty. If you do not commit the crime of treason, almost no one can stop you from joining the cabinet or even becoming the first minister. Your status as a civil servant determines It's unlikely that you'll make that kind of mistake, or that ordinary mistakes won't affect you unless..."
Qin Keqing paused, and Feng Ziying knew that the key was this, "Unless what?"
"Unless you want to be the chief auxiliary and also have military power." Qin Keqing said every word.
"Oh? Is there a problem with the chief assistant being in charge of military power? The chief assistant is in charge of the seven departments, and the military department is in charge of military power. Is there a problem?" Feng Ziying asked in return.
"Ziying, you know that I am not talking about military power in this sense. The cabinet controls military power through civil servants sending commanders and commanding generals to control military power. What I am talking about is that the chief assistant directly seizes military power by controlling military generals."
The corners of Qin Keqing's mouth were a little colder.
"What's the difference?" Feng Ziying was a little nervous. This imperial concubine had a good vision and could actually see this.
"The former is normal, but the emperor can also command generals to seize military power through the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office. Therefore, the cabinet continues to downplay the role of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office. However, so far, the cabinet has not abolished the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office. There are special circumstances in the appointment of generals. "Under the circumstances, the emperor has the right to directly appoint military generals. Although the Ministry of War requires a counter-signature, if there is no counter-signature, it depends on whether the generals accept it or not."
Qin Keqing's words made Feng Ziying couldn't help but sneer, "A military general who dares to accept an imperial edict without a counter-signature from the Ministry of War means that he will renounce himself from the court, and he will not be able to get a penny of silver or a grain of food. A mutiny can happen at any time."
"So she also said that this is a paradox, but you are different." Qin Keqing became more and more relaxed, "She said that your martial arts background and your war experience in the past few years, coupled with your father's prestige, are enough to make military commanders do not need Both the Ministry of War and the Cabinet can directly command generals, and if you take this as the Chief Assistant, neither the Emperor nor other cabinet ministers will be able to restrict you."
"Hehehe,..." Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing a few times, but even he could hear how dry and guilty his laughter was, "But Qing, when you say that, I feel a little bit on pins and needles. Once other people think so, I will really be the target of public criticism, and my crime may not be forgiven at any time."
"Are you really so worried?" Qin Keqing asked back: "I don't think so, otherwise you wouldn't be so eager to return to the battlefield. Do you think that with your qualifications as a civil servant, your connections in the north, and the support you have in Jiangnan? It's enough. You just need to firmly grasp the military power and you will be invincible. She also said that the scale here depends on whether you can master it in the future."
“So what if you master it well, so what if you don’t master it well?” Feng Ziying asked again.
"Good or bad is relative, it depends on each person's perception." Qin Keqing had put aside everything at this time and seemed very casual, "Either you are the Second Duke of Zhou Zhao, or..."
“Who is it?” Feng Ziying actually guessed what she didn’t say.
“Emperor Wu of Wei or Taizu of Song Dynasty.” Qin Keqing did not avoid taboos.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying felt relaxed at this time. She had already mentioned this, so what else did she care about, "Then what kind of person do you want me to be?"
"It depends on you, Ziying. Of course, from my personal point of view, I hope you can become Cao and Zhao, a manly man. Why do you need to be afraid of what others say, and why do you need to be inferior to others?"
These words were really not concealed at all, and they made Feng Ziying roll her eyes.
Duke Zhou Zhao has a high reputation and has always been a model scholar. Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing actually regarded him as a broken shoe and wished he were Cao Zhao. You must know that the reputation of these two people among the people is not very high.
"Ke Qing, you are really right. This is not pushing me directly onto the stove, but pushing me directly into the iron-smelting blast furnace. I can be reduced to ashes in an instant." Feng Ziying joked.
"You are a hundred-refined diamond. Real gold is not afraid of fire." Qin Keqing said in a manly voice.
"I have made my attitude clear." Qin Keqing looked innocent. "Wherever you go, I will follow you. Haven't I made it clear enough? I just want to witness your talent and strategy, and how far you can go in the end."
The "heart-to-heart" relationship with Qin Keqing was full of twists and turns, but she finally understood what the other person was thinking and was so optimistic about herself. Feng Ziying didn't worry that the other party would do anything wrong.
Of course, even if the other party really wants to frame her, Feng Ziying is not afraid.
Some things are based on deeds rather than intentions. It’s not just what you say I want to do. What’s more, given the status of Concubine Ying and Qin Keqing, if they really want to “frame” themselves, it’s hard for anyone to believe them.
The news from the court came very quickly.
Zhou Jiamo, a well-established scholar from Huguang, was appointed as the envoy to the south of the Yangtze River, and the envoy to the left. Wang Tu, a scholar from Shaanxi, was appointed as the envoy to the south of the Yangtze River.
These two people are considered to be the two main officials in the three departments and will be in place soon.
Zhou Jiamo is not young anymore, he is in his sixties. He is probably just here to prepare for the transition. He will be replaced in one or two years, but Wang Tu is in his prime.
The candidate for the Commander-in-Chief has not yet been finalized. It is estimated that a suitable candidate will have to be selected from the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief.
But these have nothing to do with Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying only needs to wait until Zhou Jiamo and Wang Tu arrive, and then hand over relevant affairs to them. It is time for him to go to Baoding and take office.
What should be done here is almost done. Instead, Feng Ziying is now worried that once he leaves Nanjing, what do these three big belly women do.
Li Wan was just pregnant and had not yet shown her pregnancy. At this moment, she quietly said hello and took the boat back north.
Wang Xifeng over there was both proud and sad when he got the news.
I was proud that I gave birth to a son on tiptoe, like a thief, and said he was adopted by others. He suffered countless pains that he could not tell his past acquaintances, but now Li Wan was on the same road as him, and he could finally find someone to talk to about his pains. of the Allies.
What makes me sad is that I worked hard in Tianjin Wei, but the heartless man went to Nanjing to enjoy the "flowers and wine". Not only did he get pregnant during the Spring Festival, he was even pregnant with a mandarin duck, and now there is also an additional Li Wan. The taste here is really exciting. miscellaneous.
However, Li Wan is willing to go to Tianjin Wei Wang Xifeng, which still makes Wang Xifeng very happy. At least Li Wan still recognizes her Wang Xifeng. With the same illness, the two of them can have more in common.
"I'm afraid this is the last time I come to Xuzhou." Feng Ziying stood at the top of the Xuzhou city with her hands behind her back. "Jiangbei Town may be leaving soon, but the situation in Shandong is not stable. Once Jiangbei Town leaves, Fengxian and Pei County on your side will Even the Dangshan side must pay attention to prevent the situation in Henan and Shandong from affecting this side. I asked Liu Baichuan to leave a battalion of town troops as the seeds of your Xuzhou Guards. In exchange, you use a battalion of Guards to supplement them. You need at least 1 battalion here. Three battalions of guards, so you use this battalion of the Northwest Army to expand the third battalion. I will give you three months. In addition, the Jiangnan Dusi has not yet been established, so I will take over the responsibility and allocate funds from the Ministry of War first, giving priority. You, Xuzhou Bingbei Road,..."
He Fengsheng looked at Feng Ziying suspiciously: "Ziying, when did you become so easy to talk to? You even think about such a good thing for me. Why do I always feel like you are plotting against me?"
Feng Ziying grinned, "Do you think this battalion of the Northwest Army is so easy to get? The first battalion has been expanded to the third battalion. Time is very tight. I am very worried that the situation in Henan will deteriorate rapidly. I also remind you to be prepared. Fengyang is also Next to Guide, Wupingwei is in Bozhou. The territory clearly belongs to us in Jiangnan, but it is under the jurisdiction of the Henan Dusi. Of course, that is because there was no Dusi in Jiangnan originally. Now Wupingwei belongs to Jiangnan, but now it exists in name only. When the time comes, one battalion will be moved to Bozhou. ,…”
He Fengsheng sneered, "Ziying, why are you so generous and doing good things? It turns out that you want to use my Xuzhou Guards to defend Fengyang. That won't work. I would rather not have this battalion of the Northwest Army..."
"You have to have it if you want it, and you have to have it if you don't want it. Now there is nothing in Wupingwei, just an empty name. You already have a base of guards in Xuzhou. I am still the governor of Jiangnan, Ke Yao. Why, are you prepared to disobey?"
Feng Ziying was not polite, "I won't take your Xuzhou Guards for nothing. Fengyang Mansion will send a battalion of guards over to train with the Xuzhou Guards in Xuzhou. I will get the funds from the Ministry of War, which is equivalent to yours." Xuzhou serves as a training base, and I am about to go to Hebei. I don’t want to see things over there not settled yet, and your side being harmed by the Guide Bailian rebellion again, otherwise I won’t be bothered to worry about your Jiangnan affairs.”
She hasn't taken office yet, but Feng Ziying realizes that Beizhili and the three prefectures north of the Yellow River in Henan may become a disaster. Once she starts to squeeze and strangle, the disaster will definitely go lower. After all, there is still a Yellow River in Henan. , but Xuzhou is too closely connected with Guide, and something might happen.
To fight this battle successfully, the fence must be firmly established first. Xuzhou is the key, and Fengyang is the weakest and most dangerous, so he will use this trick to prepare for a rainy day.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the old classmate will suffer some losses. Of course, he will not treat He Fengsheng badly. The food and salary funds related to the Ministry of War will naturally be in place, which is the hard work of Xuzhou Bingbei Road.
