Chapter 1054: Geng-zi scroll Drunk with a light on to

  Chapter 1054 Geng-character scroll Drunk with lights on to watch swords peeling cocoons (first update!)

   After entering the city, Yang Sichang and Zheng Chongjian went directly to the Ministry of War to report back to the Ministry of War, but Feng Ziying did not go to the Ministry of War, but went directly to Qiao Yingjia's mansion.

  Theoretically, he should not go to the Ministry of War either. He was recalled by the cabinet, and he had to wait for the cabinet to summon him before he could go to Wenyuan Pavilion.

  Feng Ziying feels that she is a little confused now, and she is a little uncertain about the current situation in Beijing and China. She can't sort out the clues for a while, and needs to think carefully.

   It is reasonable to say that to understand the situation, it is most appropriate to go to Qi Yongtai, but Qi Yongtai is a cabinet boss, so he can't go, and Qiao Yingjia is just the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and does not belong to the Sixth Cabinet and the Secretary of General Administration, so it makes sense.

   The cavalry escorting Feng Ziying and his party belonged to Luo Yiguan's department. When they arrived in the capital city, they naturally went to the Zhengcunba station in Ji Town, a suburb of Beijing.

   It was the place where Zhu Di and Li Jinglong fought during the Jingnan War in the former Ming Dynasty. It was quite famous, and it was also a resident of Jizhen in the suburbs of Beijing.

According to the rules, the troops from Border Town are not allowed to enter the city, but the entire Shuntian Mansion is the defense zone of Ji Town, and Ji Town is ugly to deal with the Ministry of War and even the Military Bureau, Armament Bureau, Taipusi and other departments, so it is also in Zhengcunba There is a place to stay.

   I haven’t been back to the capital city for a few months. It seems that the capital city has become a lot more lively, but there is some kind of chaos and restlessness in the midst of this excitement.

The Mongol army of more than 200,000 people is on the Changping-Shunyi-Pinggu line, constantly harassing the entire northern line of defense. The wealthy gentry in the counties and prefectures on the outskirts of Beijing have already taken their families to hide in the capital city, and some middle-class families have also dragged The son and daughter took the opportunity to escape into the city.

   Only those who have no way out can only swarm outside the city wall, as if they can get some comfort by relying on this tall city wall.

  Qiao’s Mansion is located in Youfang Hutong in the southwest corner of Dashiyongfang, next to Xuanwu Gate. When Feng Ziying arrived, there were still several small sedan chairs and carriages outside, so she probably came to visit Qiao Yingjia.

  The post was sent in, and he was quickly welcomed in, which also attracted a burst of noise from other people waiting outside the door. However, someone knew Feng Ziying, and after a while, no one had any objections.

Soon there was a concierge who accepted all the posts outside and made an appointment for another time. Everyone knew that this was the meaning of Qiao’s vice capital’s envoy not to see any guests today, but he could save a chance to see them tomorrow. For the guests who have the opportunity, it is a good thing.

   Qiao Yingjia was very happy about Feng Ziying's visit.

  As Feng Ziying shines in political ability, both Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen have already felt this formidable aura of young people, even Qi Yongtai sometimes finds it difficult to make a standard judgment on Feng Ziying's performance.

I just feel that this guy is thinking like a powerful and unconstrained style, no matter where he is, he can make some ingenious and ingenious moves, and he is often not limited to his position. This is the most gratifying thing for the teachers. I have some anxious expectations.

  Qiao Yingjia has had relatively little contact with Feng Ziying among the three of them this year. As Feng Ziying's reputation grows and his status changes, meeting also needs to be considered carefully to avoid unnecessary criticism.

Of course, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, although private visits to colleagues are not particularly taboo, everyone still has a certain kind of tacit understanding, that is, between the elders, between the six ministers and the elders, between officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and colleagues from other departments. Among them, unless there are special matters, they will not visit easily. In contrast, other colleagues and subordinates visit business plans, students visit teachers, and visits between township parties are allowed.

"It's rare. You just came to the city and didn't enter the house, so you come to me. This is not in line with your style. Don't you say that you have the determination to overpower Mount Tai?" Qiao Yingjia joked about his disciple, usually a little There was also a rare smile on the mean and stern face.

  Qiao Yingjia's mansion is very simple, decorated in plain tones, with quaint furniture and desks, and some incomplete armrests and baffles can be seen on the tables and chairs for receiving guests.

  But Qiao Yingjia never seemed to care much about these aspects, and as long as they are familiar with the visitors, they are accustomed to Qiao Yingjia's style.

"Master Qiao, do you need to change this set of tables and chairs?" Feng Ziying didn't answer Qiao Yingjia's question in a hurry, but touched on the official hat chair and table, "It's crumbling, and it feels like we are in the Zhou Dynasty. The momentum of the procuratorate has weakened a lot."

"You boy!" Qiao Yingjia's face sank, "Don't put your mind on these things. You are just entering the official career, and you should think more about the business. This time the court invited you back, which shows that the emperor and the cabinet value you. It’s time to think about how to respond to the cabinet’s consultation.”

   "Master Qiao, do you also think it will be that simple?" Feng Ziying was not polite, "Why do you think there is something different here? That's why I came here to ask for help."

  Qiao Yingjia cast a glance at Feng Ziying, and the servants brought the tea up. He picked up the tea and gestured, "Why, what did you see again?"

   "Master Qiao, Niu Jizong was broken through by the Wai Khalkha army in Yanqing Prefecture, and made such a big mistake. Did the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate turn a blind eye? Or did the emperor stay in the middle?"

Feng Ziying's words made Qiao Yingjia's eyes flash with surprise and satisfaction, and he could see the key point at a glance. Ziying has indeed matured a lot, and his vision is no longer limited to simple politics than before, and he understands the other side of the temple dispute. up.

   "Now is not the time." Qiao Yingjia responded lightly.

   "Does the cabinet think it's not the time, or the emperor thinks it's not the time?" These are two concepts, and Feng Ziying needs to ask clearly.

If it is the former, it means that the cabinet and the Ministry of War are worried that the accountability of Niu Jizong at this time will affect the next battle situation, which is normal; if it is the latter, it has another meaning. Feng Ziying tends to be the former, but is more worried about the latter By.

  Qiao Yingjia's eyes became sharper, and she looked at Feng Ziying: "Ziying, what do you want to say?"

"Master Qiao, if this happened in the past, the disciples felt that the Metropolitan Procuratorate might not sit idly by. If the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate remained silent, I think our censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have also learned to take care of the overall situation. Heavy, but if the emperor stays in the middle school, well, then I am a little worried. If both the cabinet and the Ministry of War support accountability, it means that the cabinet and the Ministry of War should have countermeasures, but the emperor wants to stay in the middle school, which is unexpected. "

  Feng Ziying's words made Qiao Yingjia a little displeased, "Ziying, do you know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't put any bullets on your father."

   "My father?" Feng Ziying said in surprise, not knowing about the fall of Fushun Pass.

"The Fushun Pass was lost, Li Yongfang rebelled, and the Eastern Captives broke in and captured nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians..." Qiao Yingjia said coldly: "But after the imperial court made a plan, Mr. Zhang and I, together with the Imperial Guard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, The censors communicated with the censors, and the censors were willing to wait until the results of the next investigation came out, instead of going directly to the bullets."

   "Huh?!" Feng Ziying was confused by Qiao Yingjia's words "Li Yongfang rebelled".

  At this time, he remembered this major event in the history of the late Ming Dynasty in his previous life. It was Li Yongfang's rebellion and a series of subsequent actions to help Nurhachi against the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty that caused Liaodong to suffer multiple injuries after his rebellion.

  Li Yongfang was the first general-level figure who rebelled against the Eastern Captives. It can be said that this set an extremely bad precedent. Since then, Han generals have turned to Jianzhou Jurchen.

This is all second. The key is that Li Yongfang has been in Liaodong for many years, and he knows the civil, military and military conditions of the Liaodong guards as well as the situation of the soldiers. His defection undoubtedly provided unimaginable help for Donglu to spy on Liaodong's military, political, defense, and business conditions. .

What's more, after this person joined Nurhachi, he spared no effort to help Nurhachi to buy and woo, coerce, and lure military officers from all walks of life in Liaodong. Generals are invincible.

  Especially some middle and low-level military officers couldn’t stand this kind of soft and hard tactics, and turned to Donglu one after another. It can be said that the harm brought to Liaodong by one of them exceeded the impact of a war.

Seeing Feng Ziying's complexion suddenly changed, Qiao Yingjia waved her hand: "Ziying, you don't need to be anxious. The responsibility of your father is still uncertain. Li Yongfang's rebellion is at least better early than late. Some people said before that your father is narrow-minded. , Blindly introduced the old Ministry from Datong and Yulin, and now no one mentions it, Li Yongfang's situation is more complicated, Long Jinwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have sent personnel to Liaodong to investigate, I believe there will be an explanation."

Feng Ziying smiled wryly and shook her head: "Master Qiao, I'm not worried about my father, but I'm worried that Li Yongfang's defection may cause much more harm than we imagined. This person is too familiar with Liaodong. Take this opportunity, in the next few years, Liaodong will be in a state of trepidation, Mr. Qiao, you should know how clean the buttocks of these border generals are, Long Jinwei opened his eyes and closed his eyes, but The censors are afraid..."

  Qiao Yingjia frowned, as if she understood Feng Ziying's worry, "I will discuss this matter with Master Zhang and Master Liu, so it is natural."

   "Thank you, Master Qiao." Feng Ziying shook her head, she seemed to be in a trance, and Qiao Yingjia also looked worried: "Ziying, you are not in this state, the cabinet and the emperor will see you,..."

   "Master Qiao, is it as simple as seeing me with the emperor and the cabinet? Well, is the result of the negotiations with the Nekalka worth calling me back?" Feng Ziying looked at Qiao Yingjia.

  Qiao Yingjia hesitated and lowered her eyes, before saying after a long time: "When did you notice it?"

"The Mongols swam without attacking, and the Datong Army and the Xuanfu Army came in faster than expected. I thought it was Niu Jizong who wanted to make meritorious atonements. Of course, it is not ruled out that Niu Jizong had this idea, but it is inevitable that it will be heartbreaking in the eyes of many people. Doubts arose, especially since the Beijing camp lost 80,000 people at once, leaving only Chen Jixian and Qiu Shiben in the city. The Fifth Army Battalion controlled Guangning Gate and Xizhi Gate, but Fucheng Gate and Dongzhi Gate were in the hands of Shenshu Camp. Here, the city I entered from Guangqumen and Xuanwumen today was controlled by the Shenji Battalion in the past, but now it seems to be controlled by the Shenshu Battalion. Master Qiao, do you think it will make many people think differently?"

  Feng Ziying's words hit Qiao Yingjia like a hammer, causing his face to change slightly.

In fact, Qiao Yingjia also feels this way, but he is the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is neither the first or second chair of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's obviously going to be slower.

  Especially he was not aware of the movements of the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army. What Feng Ziying said made him startled.

   On the first day of March, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass! Fight for more tomorrow, brothers give strength!
