Chapter 896 Jizijuan is in turmoil
Feng Ziying did not expect that Yuanyang would actually bring a message to Yuanchun in the palace, and it would be such a secret matter that could not be told to others.
Hearing Yuanyang blush and finish speaking in a low voice, Feng Ziying didn't know what to do for a moment.
For such matters, Yuanchun didn't ask Jia She Jia Zheng, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, or Wang Ziteng for help or advice. Instead, he actually asked Yuanyang to ask for help, and actually got Jia Mu's support without even informing him. Jia Zheng and his wife.
Does the Jia family really regard themselves as a life-saving straw?
It's just a matter of asking for advice and help. The key point is that even Feng Ziying feels a little helpless about such things.
Seeing that Yuanyang's face was also worried and nervous, Feng Ziying also knew that this girl had probably never thought that she would be involved in such a thing. It was inevitable that she would feel fear and panic in her heart, especially when it came to matters related to the Tian family, and the longevity king Zhang Chi , maybe one day I can ascend to the position of Dabao.
After calming down and thinking about it, Feng Ziying didn't have a clue. It was really a bit tricky to suddenly encounter something like this that she had never thought of.
"Yuanyang, you have been working hard for a few days. You have traveled hundreds of miles. Well, let Jinchuaner take you to a good place to wash up and rest for half a day. I will think about it carefully. I may have to make you wait for a few days. Yeah." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment before saying.
"Ah? How many more days do we have to wait?" Of course Yuanyang hopes to take a rest. Although he traveled by car for hundreds of miles, his bones were about to fall apart. His whole body, especially his buttocks, was sore. Incomparable, but she was a little surprised to have to wait for a few days.
"Well, this matter is not that simple. The Shou King is usually quite cautious. Why has he become so wild and indulgent in the past few months?" Feng Ziying nodded slightly, "Is it related to the emperor's poor health? Your Majesty. If your health is really bad, how bad is it? Do you have any intention of establishing a prince? I have to think about these things..."
Yuanyang was helpless. After hearing what Feng Ziying said, she also realized that the matter of the eldest girl in the palace was not that simple. Uncle Feng had already gleaned some clues from it, but he was unable to understand it.
"Well, I'll leave it to you, sir. I'll go down and have a rest first." Yuanyang stood up and left.
Watching Yuanyang and Jin Chuaner holding hands and talking and laughing all the way out, Feng Ziying also made some calculations in her heart.
The reason why King Shou is so arrogant probably has a lot to do with Emperor Yonglong's lack of energy and lack of interest in interfering with the affairs of the palace. Otherwise, he would not dare to take advantage of Zhang Chi's courage to attack his father's wife. This guy would also be arrogant when he is proud of himself. Characters cannot become the general climate.
He had a hunch that maybe some major events would happen starting this year, but he couldn't predict what major events they would be. Some subtle changes inside and outside the court had already been revealed.
Prince Yi Zhong became more and more active, the Emperor became more and more senile, Emperor Yonglong was also sick and languid,…
Chahar people are not willing to be lonely, Jianzhou Jurchen is ready to wait, what else? Will the Southwest Chieftains headed by Yang Yinglong remain dormant like this? Will Yang Kedong always be willing to be a hostage? What's more unpredictable? For example, the White Lotus Sect and the Japanese?
Feng Ziying didn’t even realize that the rift between the northern and southern scholars had become more and more obvious as they entered the cold period after the honeymoon period. Da Zhou, who was relieved by the plan to open the sea, seemed to be a little lively, but it was a return to the past...
Feng Ziying did not believe that the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty could be maintained without the reform of a strong man breaking his wrist and scraping his bones to heal wounds. The strategy of opening up the sea was just a drop in the bucket, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, but all this would start to break out so early this year. Already?
Feng Ziying always thought that it would take a few more years for it to become apparent. However, the unexpected invasion of the Chahar people from the south and the ridiculous things that happened to Jia Yuanchun made him doubt his own judgment. Maybe it was a violent storm. Will it come sooner and harder than imagined?
************
Lanzhou, Shifokou.
The huge manor is built on the mountain. From the outside, it looks nothing special. Only by climbing up the mountain pass from the stone Buddha entrance can you get a vague glimpse of the whole manor.
The old man was sitting on the futon, and the fragrance in the palace lingered.
"So they just want to give this new governor a show of strength? What's the point of doing this other than to frighten the enemy?" The old man had a childlike face and a straight face.
“The disciples don’t know what they are thinking, but if this person is allowed to do whatever he wants in Yongping, I’m afraid it will also hinder the teaching of the Holy Religion, so the disciples..."
The man kneeling in the temple bowed his head and whispered.
"Father, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Zhang Ji Blacksmith Workshop in Hazel Town is the largest blacksmith workshop in Yongping Prefecture. Most of the iron materials from Fengrun and Zunhua are supplied to Zhang Ji Blacksmith Workshop. My son suspects them. They were worried that the iron materials produced by their iron factories in Zunhua and Fengrun would be affected. This Feng Tongzhi was not simple. He attracted a large group of businessmen from Shanxi and Shaanxi, as well as iron smelting businessmen from Guangdong to help. It is said that the iron smelting workshops It’s huge,…”
Standing on the left side of Xiashou, a strong man in plain white robes said in a deep voice.
“Eldest brother doesn’t have much influence, but my father entrusted him with the academic affairs of the mansion, but he has been in trouble this year...” The mature man couldn’t help but say.
Hearing that the second son was not satisfied with his favorite disciple, the white-haired old man glanced at the eldest son who was standing at the lower left of him with a low eyebrow, frowned, and then said: "The state minister is busy preaching, but he also loves righteousness. Don’t be too demanding,…”
The man in white clothes is the old man's second son Wang Haoyi. Seeing that his father seems to have noticed something, the man in white clothes can only bow his head and say yes.
"Hao Li, please also tell Guoyong that preaching should not be limited to our Luanzhou, Changli, and Leting. I know the purpose of Guoyong. There are many big families in Changli and Leting. They admire the vacuum hometown and are willing to promote it for Everbright. I have taught hard, but the current situation cannot be limited to this. The management of the Yanhe Camp, Jianchang Camp, Taitou Camp, and Shimenzhai Camp in the north cannot be relaxed. These military disciples will be of great use to me in the future. …”
"Father, don't worry. In addition to the above battalions, the state has also made some progress in Kaiping Zhongtun Guard and Shanhai Guard Pan Guan Camp." Wang Haoli, who had not spoken until now, said calmly: "It's just that it will take some time to complete these camps." The foundation has taken root..."
The white-haired old man nodded with satisfaction, "Well done, you should worry more about this. Your Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Brother Xu have done a good job in Shuntian and Shandong. You can't neglect it in Beizhi, Yongping." Mansion is our foundation, we must not relax. Besides, Hao Xian, please hurry up and go to Zhending again. An Bao and Zhou Yin wrote from Zhending that it went very smoothly. You can go there again and bring some experience. Leave the righteous books and money and let them develop freely. Didn't Zhou Yin say that he intends to establish a Bangchui Society affiliated with us? I think it is possible and let the security guards guide him. The situation in different places may not be the same. They want to use the name of Bangchui Society. It’s up to him,…”
The gray-haired old man's eyes were as bright as a torch, and his words were clear and well-organized. It was impossible to tell that he was a 70-year-old country man.
Wang Haoli and Wang Haoxian both nodded and obeyed when their names were called.
"I have another feeling that the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming. To save our people from going to their hometown in the vacuum, we must completely destroy all the shackles that imprison the people before the end of the world comes. And to do this, It is necessary to make the people forget everything in the world and run away without any fetters..."
The old man's face bloomed with a smile as bright as the sun, but in this slightly gloomy palace, it looked a little ferocious and strange.
“Here!” Everyone in the palace responded with enthusiasm in their eyes.
************
Japan, Sunfu Castle.
His somewhat cloudy eyes fell on the sunlight outside the door. Ieyasu stood up and straightened his clothes.
“Your Excellency Xiuzhong has arrived.” The attendant knelt down outside the door and said.
“Let him in.” Ieyasu sighed softly. If he didn’t deal with Hideyori, he would not be able to enjoy the good times now, and Hidetada’s prestige would not be truly consolidated.
"Father."
"Well, what are you doing today?" Ieyasu didn't like anyone to disturb his peaceful life. He thought that this peaceful life would help him think deeply.
“The Jurchen envoy from Jianzhou came to invite us to enter Korea again. He said that he had reached a consensus with the Mongolian Chahar Ministry to work together for a great cause..."
After listening to Hidetada’s report, Ieyasu fell into deep thought.
Who benefited the most from the Battle of Bunroku Keicho was, of course, himself. However, Ieyasu did not think that Hashiba Hideyoshi was wrong to initiate the Battle of Bunroku Keicho. With so many daimyo military commanders, how could so much land be enfeoffed? ? The soldiers also refused to disband and return to the fields. They were accustomed to war and were no longer willing to face the mud and mud when they returned to the countryside.
Anyone who blocks the path of the daimyo generals and soldiers will be torn to pieces. This is the general trend, but Hideyoshi Hashiba did a bad job. Since he knew that Dazhou would reinforce North Korea, why not implement containment? Although the capital and territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty were fortified, they tended to be armed and prohibited in coastal defense. In addition, they knew that the Mongols were still unwilling to sleep outside the customs, so why didn't they invite them to advance and retreat together?
The right way can help you more, but the wrong way can help you less. From another perspective, this may not be applicable to war.
"Hidetada, what do you mean?" Ieyasu said after a long time.
"My son thinks that it is not appropriate to start a serious war before Hideyori's matter is resolved, but if the Jianzhou Jurchens can attack the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the Mongols, this war may not be decided in two or three years. For us, It's not a bad thing to say..." Tokugawa Hidetada bowed his head and spoke.
“Well, what are you going to do?”
“It is better to recruit ronin with money and rice. There are many ronin in the countryside now, and there are reactions from all over the country. This recruitment and formation can not only explain the Jianzhou Jurchens for future intervention, but also reduce the pressure in the city and the countryside..."
“Well, who do you want to be your general?…” Ieyasu nodded.
“Terazawa Hirotaka is the leader, Kuuki Moritaka is the assistant, and Wakisaka Anji is the queen.” Hidetada was overjoyed. It was rare to receive such decisive approval from his father, and he was also a little excited.
“Good.” Ieyasu closed his eyes.
