Chapter 78 The shocking secret of Volume A
"Father, you should actually feel something. We in the Wu family still have some dignity with the Supreme Emperor, but that may not be the case with the Emperor." Feng Ziying continued: "But even with the Supreme Emperor, our Feng family is still crowded. If you don't come in, besides the four princes and eight princes in front of us, there are also a few uncles. They can enjoy leisurely and comfortable lives in high positions, and their children and nephews can make arrangements, but we, the Feng family, have to go and get it. You have to fight for your life, but even so, you still have to rely on others, so..."
Feng Tang's face became serious and he took a deep breath, "Ziying, there is no need to mention this again. My father will not stop me. Well, I support you to study. It is your good fortune to be able to read and pass the exam, but you first What I mentioned above cannot,..., you may not be clear about some situations,..."
This is the second time that her father has said such hesitant words mysteriously, which makes Feng Ziying very curious and a little impatient, "Dad, you and I are also father and son. You know my temperament, I am not the kind of person who talks nonsense." You and I are the only people guarding the door, so what can't we say?"
Feng Tang looked at his son, hesitated, and after a while he still shook his head: "I'm not sure about this matter, and I don't dare to speak nonsense, but I just remind you that even if the emperor favors you, you still need to control it, don't Get carried away."
Feng Ziying was startled and looked up at her father with doubtful eyes: "Dad, what do you mean by this? Not to mention that the Linqing incident will not be in the eyes of the emperor. If the emperor really values it, this should belong to our Feng family. Blessing, why do you say that? Is it because our Feng family is a distinguished member of the Wu family?"
Feng Tang was speechless and felt very uncomfortable. After a long while, he said, "Ziying, please, it's not the emperor's turn to make the final decision on many matters. Alas,..."
“Father, I know this. The Emperor has to consult the Supreme Emperor for important matters, but the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are also a father-son family. After the Supreme Emperor has passed away for a thousand years, the Emperor will be able to take charge of the world..." Feng Ziying felt that there should be something weird here.
"Zi Ying, the Emperor is so spirited. I'm afraid the Emperor will have to wait until he wants to take charge of the world. Besides,..., who can say clearly about some things?" Feng Tang's last words were already inaudible.
Feng Ziying was horrified, remembering all the stories about "Dream of Red Mansions" in her previous life, and stared at her father, "Dad, could it be old Prince Yizhong...?"
Feng Tang's expression changed, he looked around, and then said sternly: "Silence! As long as you and I know this, don't mention it again in the future!"
Feng Ziying suddenly realized it and quickly shook her head: "Dad, our Feng family must not get involved in this matter..."
"Why don't I know? Do you think your father really can't enjoy the happiness and has to go to Datong to suffer?" Feng Tang said solemnly: "It is unpredictable to get involved in the affairs of the Tianjia, and the Feng family cannot afford to get involved. I just want to go back to Datong and stay here in Beijing. Sooner or later I won’t be able to escape..."
Only then did Feng Ziying realize that her father was no ordinary person. He had long seen the dangers inside, but she didn't know why the Feng family mentioned in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" in her previous life was eventually involved in such taboo crimes. Are you going to get involved in the matter of seizing the direct descendants of your family?
It is no secret that the old Prince Yi Zhong is the former crown prince.
The former prince was the legitimate son of the deceased empress dowager, and he was also the eldest son. He originally held the position of prince, but after the empress dowager passed away, the competition for the throne became fierce, and even the emperor could not suppress it. Later, the prince was deposed because he hated the emperor. Only then did he give other disciples a chance.
In the end, the current emperor had to pass on the throne while the Supreme Emperor was seriously ill. However, he never expected that the Supreme Emperor would eventually recover from his illness, which led to the current embarrassing situation.
From this point of view, I am afraid that the old Prince Yi Zhong is still unwilling to give up, or the Supreme Emperor regrets deposing the old Prince Yi Zhong? Is there any room for regret about things like this?
Feng Ziying felt nervous. He thought he could hold a good hand now and be able to advance and retreat easily. He never thought that the Feng family and the Wu family were so closely connected.
But my father’s worries are not unreasonable.
Now the emperor is still just a puppet to a large extent, and we still need to consult the Supreme Emperor for major matters. The Supreme Emperor even has other ideas.
The former Crown Prince, the old Prince Yi Zhong, had been in the Crown Prince position for more than 20 years. Before the Emperor ascended the throne, his power and influence were far greater than those of the current Emperor. Although the Emperor was deposed for being evil, now only the Supreme Emperor has revealed Some other meanings, I am afraid that the forces around the old prince Yi Zhong will resurrect.
So it’s hard to say what this game will turn out to be in the end.
If one blindly believes that the current emperor is the real one and clings to the current emperor's lap, once old Prince Yi Zhong finally makes a comeback, just like the former Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhengtong Emperor is restored to Emperor Tianshun, and even heroes such as Yu Qianna will eventually die. How could one predict such turbulence?
Feng Ziying doesn't want to be a great hero like Yu Qian. He just wants to live well. Don't just hug the emperor's lap. Prince Yi Zhong has been restored to the throne. That would be tragic. Maybe he won't die. It will be destroyed, but it may be thrown into the abyss, and it will be difficult to turn over in a lifetime.
However, Feng Ziying feels that history at least has the context of this book, "A Dream of Red Mansions". Prince Yi Zhong failed to make a comeback in the book, so it is more likely that the current emperor will securely sit on the throne.
If he really had to choose one of the two, Feng Ziying felt that he would rather choose the current emperor. He did not think that he had the ability to change the general trend now, at least not within ten years.
The safest thing to do is to stay away from this storm. If it is unavoidable, then you must be on the side of the winner.
“Father, if this is the case, then your job as a foreign minister is really urgent. If you can’t go to Datong Town, what about other towns?” Feng Ziying asked.
"If we can't go to Datong Town, it's probably even more impossible to go to Xuanfu Town and Ji Town. Shanxi Town and Yulin Town are a bit far away, and the situation in Liaodong Town is becoming increasingly tight. The Jurchens are now gradually becoming more ambitious. It's still a bit difficult for you and I to go." I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up the energy." Feng Tang was very honest in front of him and didn't hide anything.
Feng Ziying frowned.
Datong, Xuanfu, and Jizhen are the three important towns for the defense of the capital. No matter who becomes the emperor, he must first firmly control the military power of these three towns in his own hands.
Today, the Supreme Emperor is still in charge of the court, so Feng Tang cannot get this position. In fact, it means that the Supreme Emperor does not regard Feng Tang as a member of his inner circle.
Liaodong Town does have a lot of troops, but it directly faces the Jurchens who are becoming more and more powerful. Dad feels a little overwhelmed. Shanxi Town and Yulin Town are too remote, and I guess dad doesn’t want to go.
"Dad, I think that if you really don't want to go to Liaodong Town, you might as well try Shanxi Town or Yulin Town." After thinking for a long time, Feng Ziying felt that even going a little further away would be better than being trapped in this capital city. Muddy Waters was involved. As for myself, I was still young anyway, so I was not afraid of this. I thought that the Supreme Emperor would not be able to pay attention to people like me.
Feng Tang also nodded, "Well, if it's Yulin or Shanxi, there might be some chances, but it's hard to say now, let's see."
After talking about Feng Tang, the father and son talked about Feng Ziying again. Since they had made up their mind to go out to study, they had to find a suitable academy as soon as possible. There were only two years left, so they had to hurry up.
