Chapter 765: The E-shaped volume will definitely live up to your trust.
"But I feel like your concern about the situation in Liaodong is not limited to the Jurchens, right?" Wang Wenyan looked directly at Feng Ziying with a clear gaze, "Sir, since you trust me, Wen Yan will naturally treat you with sincerity. If you feel that there are some things that are really hard to say, , Wen Yan will never ask another question in the future."
Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Wenyan's sense to be so sharp. He thought for a moment and then said slowly: "Wen Yan, why do you say that?"
"You have also introduced the situation in Liaodong during this period. It is difficult to say anything else, but I still have fresh memories of the distribution of the armies in Jiliao. The You brothers are the governor's confidants. They should have all been deployed on the front line of Liaodong, but But why did you transfer the troops from Ji Town to Liaodong and put General You's troops in Ji Town?"
Wang Wenyan was not polite.
Feng Ziying remained calm: "Perhaps my father feels that Ji Town is at the throat of the Western Liaoning Corridor. Once the Jurchens or Mongols break through and move south, it will endanger the capital, so..."
"No, it turns out that Ma Shouliang's troops stationed in Ji Town are also elite, and they are familiar with the frontline situation in Ji Town. If the Jurchens and Mongols really invaded the south in a few years, Ma Shouliang's troops should be able to withstand it." Wang Wenyan shook his head, "What's more, Your Excellency has also told me that the Chahar Ministry and the Governor are on good terms with each other. This time they have provided some supplies to support the Chahar people, and the relationship has become even closer. The Chahar people are unlikely to invade the south in the short term. As for the The Jurchens can't reach here at all, can the Ye He tribe still invade the south?"
“Then why do Wen Yan think my father arranged this?” Feng Ziying chuckled.
"This is where Wen Yan feels puzzled. The Governor sent the elite You brothers to station in Ji Town. He either felt that Ji Town was unstable, or that Ma Shouliang's troops were unreliable, or both. But Wen Yan did not. Understand why this Ji Town deserves so much attention from the Governor, unless..."
Feng Ziying knew that Wang Wenyan must have guessed something.
After coming to the capital for a few months, Wang Wenyan's natural temperament for playing politics made him like a fish in water in the capital. He soon became familiar with all the situations in the capital both inside and outside the imperial court. Naturally, he became familiar with the Supreme Emperor, the emperor, Prince Yi Zhong and the martial arts in the capital. We have a very clear understanding of the situation between Xun, civil servants and even the struggle between the north and the south of the DPRK.
Especially the relationship between Prince Yi Zhong and the Supreme Emperor, the relationship between the two and the Emperor, the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and Wu Xun, and the subtleties between the civil servants and the Tian family, Wang Wenyan all solved it in a very short period of time. Having figured out the secret, Feng Ziying was shocked by this political acumen. She was worthy of being born to eat this kind of food.
“Unless what?” Feng Ziying asked lightly.
"Unless something happens to the capital, it may involve the troops around the capital. Besides Xuanfu, the closest border army to the capital is Ji Town." Wang Wenyan stared at Feng Ziying with a burning gaze, "And what can happen to the capital? The White Lotus Sect A rebellion, or a Tumut bandit breaking through the border wall? It seems that this is not the case, then there will only be trouble in the capital city."
“Wen Yan, do you think my father’s arrangement is appropriate?” Feng Ziying did not pick up Wang Wenyan’s topic and skipped asking the key question.
Wang Wenyan pondered for a while and shook his head, "Sir, Wenyan dare not speak nonsense about this, because there are too many variables here, and I don't know how the Governor considered it, or is this your suggestion?"
Feng Ziying shook her head categorically, "It's hard for me to judge this matter. My father may have his own worries. His idea may be to avoid this kind of thankless task as much as possible. It will only lead to muddy water, and may even lead to death." things, but there are some things that you can’t escape.”
Wang Wenyan nodded in agreement with this view.
Feng Tang was able to sit in the position of Governor of Ji Liao, so he was certainly not a mediocre person. At least he was not bad at playing politics, and he must have seen the risks involved.
The reason why Ma Shouliang's department was transferred to Liaodong may be because he was worried that Ma Shouliang would be uncontrollable.
The question is who is this uncontrollable for? Is it the Emperor or Prince Yohitada?
Being uncontrollable by one party may be a good thing for the other party. If you destroy it for others, will it cause trouble?
Feng Tang may not know at all which party Ma Shouliang is under the control of, and Ma Shouliang may not even be on the line with a certain party yet. Feng Tang just wants to prevent Ma Shouliang from getting on the line with a certain party, so he will take advantage of it in the future. Causing unexpected events.
And the You brothers are his direct confidants. As long as he understands this, whoever wants to take action can only find him instead of wasting efforts to win over the You brothers. Then the initiative can be in Feng Ziying's hands.
Seeing that Wang Wenyan had some enlightenment, Feng Ziying did not say much, "Wenyan, you have only been in Beijing for a short time, but you are already very familiar with many situations in Beijing. However, even if you understand some things, it is still difficult for you to do so." To deal with it, because some problems themselves are unsolvable, like my father’s position and his origin, which determines that it is difficult for him to stay out of many things.”
“Since it’s difficult to stay out of the situation, why not take the initiative and choose a side that is more beneficial to you?” Wang Wenyan said solemnly.
This Wang Wenyan is really unwilling to be left alone. He actually wants to take the initiative to intervene. When the Tian family seizes the heir, others avoid it. He actually wants to take the initiative to intervene. Is he really trying to gain wealth through danger?
“Wen Yan, do you think it is necessary for me or my father to take such a risk?” Feng Ziying asked.
"Sir, if you can ensure that you are not affected or implicated, then it is naturally unnecessary. After all, the Feng family is already in this position. But as you said, if you cannot avoid it and will always be involved, then I think it is really necessary. After careful consideration, we took the initiative to intervene. At least the initiative is in our own hands and we can make choices more freely, instead of having to passively have others come to us and force us to make choices."
Wang Wenyan’s tone was very calm and firm, and he had obviously thought deeply about this conclusion.
Feng Ziying hesitated.
He has never underestimated the wisdom of people in this era. Compared with himself, they just lack knowledge, but when it comes to the matter of seizing the heir to the Heavenly Family, they have no knowledge to rely on.
There is no such occurrence in history, because the Zhou Dynasty came in chaos. However, compared with the nine kings seizing the direct descendants in the Kangxi era, it is difficult to capture the "gate seizing incident" between Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu in the Ming Dynasty. This is the current situation.
If you have nothing to use as a reference, then you have nothing to rely on, and what Wang Wenyan said makes sense.
After a long time, Feng Ziying said: "I'll think about it."
"Sir, there is no rush in this matter. I have observed and analyzed it. For now, maybe all parties are not ready to break up. Well, I think as long as the Supreme Emperor is in good health, then this situation will not be serious. Changes, but the Emperor is old, and a slight accident may lead to unpredictable risks, so it may not matter in a short time, but it needs to be considered as soon as possible."
Wang Wenyan speaks sincerely.
"Yes, I understand the importance." Feng Ziying nodded, "I will have some concerns about this matter, and I need to seek my father's opinion, but what you said is very reasonable. Instead of passively being approached to compare our choices, we should take the initiative However, before taking the initiative to make a choice, we need to more carefully evaluate the situations of all parties to avoid falling into traps or disadvantages."
"Sir, I understand what you mean. We only choose the winning side?" Wang Wenyan admired his boss even more.
A young man under the age of eighteen who is so familiar with court politics is truly a genius. Otherwise it would be difficult to explain. He also needs to think carefully to understand what the other party is thinking. Of course, the other party is not without weaknesses. There are some aspects. Wang Wenyan was a little confused when he acted very unfamiliar or was a little resentful and resistant to some things that were taken for granted.
Naturally, he didn't know that although Feng Ziying had been in this world for several years, the soul and memories of decades in his previous life still made it difficult for him to feel at ease with his betrayal and even his indifference to human life, just as he couldn't feel at ease with the people around him. Women who have had relationships are ignored, even if they are just maids and slaves.
In the minds of people in this era, it is no different from ordinary objects, and it is natural to give them away.
"Classical Chinese, provide help in times of need, icing on the cake, which one do you choose? Giving help in times of need may mean losing all your money or even harming yourself, while adding icing on the cake may be insignificant, and may even be regarded as taking advantage of the situation. Are you willing to dare to play the role of winner or loser? ? And as a result of being the winner or loser, will we be regarded as the master of the game or the weakest player in the future? We need to consider these issues clearly. Countless examples in history are often contradictory, and it is difficult for you to judge the situation we are in. Which side should I choose under the circumstances?" Feng Ziying said leisurely.
Wang Wenyan’s whole body was shaken violently.
Feng Ziying's words are full of philosophy, but as he is familiar with history books, he understands that these opposing views are paradoxes in themselves. He can only put it in one sentence: Time changes and the situation changes, and it changes according to the situation.
“Sir, Wen Yan understands.” Wang Wenyan was taught.
“Wen Yan, this matter has always been a concern of mine. Now that I’ve brought it up today, I’ll ask you to help me observe and plan. I have confidence in you.”
Feng Ziying felt relieved.
This matter is indeed his heartache. The intertwining of the Supreme Emperor, Prince Yi Zhong, Wu Xun and even military commanders and civil servants born in Wu Xun will make the Tian family's future struggle for the heir even more treacherous. .
As Wang Wenyan judged, the Emperor's health seemed to be fine, and there might not be chaos for the time being. But once there was something wrong with the Emperor's health, Prince Yi Zhong would definitely be unable to sit still and take action, and Emperor Yonglong would naturally not turn a blind eye to this. The game may open 30-70, or it may open 40-60, anything is possible.
Wang Wenyan is a master of politics, which can be seen from the fact that he got into the state so quickly. In his previous life, he was a small official but became the top think tank of the Donglin Party. He naturally has his own uniqueness, and Feng Ziying can trust him.
"I will live up to your trust." Wang Wenyan's cheeks flushed, and he knew that from now on, he would truly become the other party's absolute confidant.
