Chapter 2587 The dream of Guizi scroll is opened. Who will witness it?
Five years later, if Qi Yongtai wants to become an official, Li Sancai is even one year older than Qi Yongtai, so he will definitely have to do so.
Two of the Beidi scholars withdraw from the cabinet, and at least two more must come in. It is estimated that Cui Jingrong or Qiao Yingjia are also possible, but can I join the cabinet at the age of thirty?
Among the scholars in the North, there is Han Xu who has more seniority than me and is also in the second rank. In the future, Sun Juxiang and Wang Yongguang may even enter the second rank. In five years, can I really win against them?
Even though Qi Yongtai has great prestige, it is not easy to force his favorite disciple to join the cabinet.
After all, it involves the fate of an official's life. If you enter, another person may lose this opportunity for the rest of his life.
Relatively speaking, I am only thirty years old. Even if I delay for another three to five years, I still have a good chance. Under such circumstances, can I win the support of other important ministers?
“Master Qi, after three or five years, the disciple will only be thirty years old. Will it be difficult to convince the public when he joins the cabinet?” Feng Ziying pondered.
"Seniority and age are certainly one aspect, but I have always advocated meritocracy and merit. Your performance is obvious to all. Although you will only be thirty years old by then, you have been in the official position for more than ten years, and you have The qualifications of Shujishi and Hanlin Academy editors have been gained step by step from the state capital, and they have rushed to the most difficult and difficult places many times to save the people from fire and water. If any of them still have any objections to these, I believe it is not necessary. I said, others would refuse,..."
Qi Yongtai must have considered this point a long time ago.
Feng Ziying's biggest shortcoming is her age. In terms of qualifications, he has held quite a few positions in the past ten years, at least five or six, which is no worse than some officials who have been in a certain position for seven or eight years, and even full-time officials. Because he has been promoted frequently, it can also prove his excellence.
"But there are many seniors before the students, and they are all eagerly looking forward to joining the cabinet. If the disciples rush to join the cabinet, will it trigger internal disputes among the Northern scholars?" Feng Ziying asked again.
"Ziying, you can ask this, it shows that you are selfless in your heart. If there are no disputes, where are they not? Even without what you said, there will still be various disputes. What we have to do is to face it calmly. , handle the matter in a reasonable and well-founded manner. How is it possible for everyone in such a large court to be satisfied? What we can do is to make the vast majority of people agree that satisfaction is enough."
Of course Qi Yongtai knows what he will face if he wants to promote his disciple to the top. There will definitely be all kinds of opposition, resistance and even criticism and slander, but so what?
Isn’t it the same if I pushed Li Sancai down and pushed Gu Bingqian up? Li Sancai was full of complaints and resentment, so what?
Guan Yingzhen's entry into the cabinet made his alliance with the Huguang scholars as solid as a mountain. With Gu Bingqian as Cifu and Huang Ruliang entering the cabinet, it was difficult for anyone to shake the stable situation among the three parties, so the key was how to manage the situation.
Of course, Qi Yongtai also knows that the seemingly stable situation now may not always be like this in three to five years. Tang Binyin is an unstable factor. Emperor Wan Tong is now dormant, and it will definitely not always be like this. The battle for the crown prince's position will eventually end. It will intensify. Everyone is gathering strength now, but Qi Yongtai is confident that he can control the situation.
“Master is considering this, and I am naturally grateful, but I hope that the government and the public will be at peace so that I can do my work with peace of mind.” Feng Ziying could only pretend to be humble like this.
"None of these things should be considered by you. What you have to do now is to put Liaodong into good order in the past three to five years. You will serve as the governor of Jiliao, and you will be appointed as the censor of Youdu. This is already the title that the Zhou Dynasty can give to the governor. This is the highest position. There has never been a governor with the title of second grade before. You can handle Ji Liao's affairs alone. I only need you to kill Jianzhou and restore peace to Liaodong."
Qi Yongtai's tone was serious.
The threat of the Jianzhou Jurchens to the northern border is too great. As the Mongols led by the Chahars and Tumuts gradually decline, the Jianzhou Jurchens, a serious problem that is a serious problem, can be calmly faced by the Mongols. , will surely usher in a new era.
Qi Yongtai hopes that he will be the person responsible for inheriting the past and forging ahead in this era, and that he can also leave a mark in youth history in the future.
"As for the things you submitted to me, some of them are very enlightening, and some can be discussed. Weishi and Ziqiang have discussed some of them. He is interested, but also a little worried, and feels that he needs to go step by step. If you As mentioned, finding some places to conduct pilot projects should be a good way..."
The "Kaocheng Taolue" that Feng Ziying was most concerned about was also something Qi Yongtai found very valuable. He invited Cui Jingrong, who was about to become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to study it in detail. He felt that there were indeed many things worthy of serious consideration in it, and there were also many things in it that were worth considering. You can try it out at least to see the effect, but it is not advisable to roll it out all at once.
Getting such a reply, Feng Ziying was also satisfied.
Feng Ziying believes that as long as it is carried out in a down-to-earth manner, the court will see the results. If the promotion continues, even if the steps are not so big, it will still have a cumulative effect, and ultimately achieve a change from quantitative to qualitative change.
Qi Yongtai also mentioned the issues of North Korea and Japan with Feng Ziying.
The North Korean king Li Hui's attitude changed after the Great Zhou Dynasty lost the Six Forts of Kuandian and Nurhaci increasingly showed his strength. He gradually changed from following the Great Zhou Dynasty to not being offended by both sides, and even began to strengthen contacts with Jianzhou.
This is why Feng Ziying has always insisted on establishing Dongjiang Town as soon as possible.
If this change in North Korea's attitude cannot be contained in time, Feng Ziying is worried that Japan will follow suit.
Even if the interests of Ezo are not discussed, once Japan colludes with the Jianzhou Jurchens, it will cause great trouble to Zhou Dynasty at sea.
Perhaps others in the entire Zhou Dynasty do not know the situation in Northeast Asia in the future, but Feng Ziying, a time traveler, knows it very well.
Ezo (Hokkaido) was annexed by Japan, and Kuwu (Sakhalin Island) and even the entire former Ming Nuergandusi area, which was originally within the sphere of influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty, would slowly be annexed by Tsarist Russia, which continued to colonize and conquer from the west.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Feng Ziying.
This is why he had to retain the troops and supply lines in Ganning Town in the first place. It was because after the threat of the Jurchens in Jianzhou to the east was resolved, the Great Zhou Dynasty should restart the path of expansion and exploration.
The huge Siberia and the western region were originally the areas of activity of the two border forces, Mongolia and Yilibali. However, as time changed, it actually became a meal for Tsarist Russia, while the real master of the Zhou Dynasty was kept out of the matter. Okay, how can this be true in the world?
Controlling the east, expanding north, advancing west, and expanding south, these are the principles set by Feng Ziying for advancing the territory of the Zhou Dynasty in the future. As the population grows, it will either be wiped out by civil war or starved to death by famine, or it will be foreign land reclamation to continuously fight for the people. With a larger living space, Feng Ziying can only choose the latter.
Even though a lot of land in the north and west is not suitable for large-scale population living, you must first legally establish your own territory and establish this basis in written files. Only then can you prove your legitimacy.
All this requires time and the development of productivity, so sometimes Feng Ziying feels that as a time traveler, she has really not done anything decent. For more than ten years, except for the continuous promotion in official positions, there seems to be nothing else to say. , everything is still similar to the late Ming or late Ming in the previous life, which is too detrimental to my image as a time traveler.
However, the inertia of history, or the inherent attributes of society in this era, makes me feel extremely lonely and powerless. It is undoubtedly unwise to fight against the entire society on my own. I can only choose to take advantage of the situation, employ people, and even train people. Starting from scratch requires a long-term plan that lasts for decades. Feng Ziying hopes that as her status improves, this pace can continue to accelerate.
…
"Why did you think of coming to me? Aren't you leaving Beijing soon? It's time to stay with them for a while." Qin Keqing offered maple dew tea, which Feng Ziying liked to drink very much.
"Don't you want me to come to your place?" Feng Ziying was also a little confused about her relationship with Qin Keqing.
It could be said that she is a lover or an extramarital affair. She does not have that kind of relationship with her yet. However, Feng Ziying feels that if she wants it, Qin Keqing will not refuse. However, Feng Ziying is unwilling to break this specific intimacy but retains the last line of defense. Relationship.
Perhaps this can be regarded as a different kind of confidante. Her special identity and understanding of herself make her feel very exciting and willing to challenge.
“What would you think if I said I would follow you to Liaodong?” Qin Keqing laughed.
Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows, as if she was not surprised by any decision this woman made, "Really?"
"Well, I have this plan, otherwise what's the point of staying in Beijing? I want to be by your side to witness something." Qin Keqing's words were full of mystery.
Feng Ziying laughed wildly and wildly, "What you will see may not be consistent with what you guessed and imagined, but it will definitely make you feel fresh and accomplished. Jianzhou Jurchen will change under my hands." It has become a historical memory, and there are some things you can’t think of. Even I am looking forward to it all happening.”
