Chapter 1066: Geng Scroll of Monarchs and Ministers

  Chapter 1066 Geng Scroll Monarch and Minister

  Emperor Yonglong listened very carefully. He knew that Feng Ziying was actually explaining the future strategy of Liaodong on behalf of his father. The two fathers and sons should have discussed the strategy of Liaodong, which is normal.

  But now he is more interested in the captives in the hands of the Nekalkas.

  Feng Ziying actually realized it too, but he needed to finish his topic, otherwise, once Emperor Yonglong turned his mind to a topic he was interested in, some of his defenses for his father would be meaningless.

"My father is responsible for the fall of the Fushun gate. I have suggested to my father before that, don't be limited by outside criticism. Yulin, Datong, and even Gansu and Ningxia have people who can be used. He is still a little afraid of others. Therefore, the adjustment of the generals in Liaodong is still a bit weaker, and they are also deceived by the superficial loyalty of some people,..."

  Emperor Yonglong had a vague smile on his lips. Feng Ziying came to apologize for his father as it should be, but this reason is also a bit far-fetched, let's take it for granted.

Although Feng Tang brought not many old troops from Yulin, Datong, to Liaodong, he had a large-scale rotation between Liaodong and Jizhen, which was obviously aimed at Li Chengliang's old troops, worried about challenging his authority and restricting his actions. This is also the reason for the poor performance in the face of the Chahar invasion, but this kind of thing still happened in Liaodong.

"Feng Qing, the cabinet and I have discussed your father's matter. Let's not mention it today. Your father's performance in Liaodong is still satisfactory to me. Although Donglu won a round in Fushun, but in Wula However, the Ministry was devastated, and the merits and demerits should be offset,..."

Emperor Yonglong waved his hand, "I am more concerned about the current chaos on the Gyeonggi side. The Liaodong side has retreated, and the situation has temporarily stabilized, but on the Gyeonggi side, the Mongols are still raging, and the Jizhen army is tired of coping. The government army and the Datong army, look at their performance in Zhousigou and Sihaizhi, I can't believe them,..."

  Emperor Yonglong's words seemed to be dissatisfied with the sudden attack and breakthrough of the Xuanfu Army and Datong Army under Niu Jizong's jurisdiction, but Feng Ziying could hear the flavor.

  The breakthrough of Zhousigou and Sihaizhi is the problem of Xuanfu Town. The board should be hit on Xuanfu Army. What does it have to do with Datong Army? Is it because of Niu Jizong, the governor of Xuanda, that the Datong army should suffer for others, which is obviously unreasonable, or is it a slip of the tongue by Emperor Yonglong?

How can this be? Moreover, Emperor Yonglong's sentence "I can't even believe them" by no means means that Zhou Zhougou and Sihaizhi were broken by the Mongols, and of course there is a deeper meaning hidden.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Mongols are at the end of their strength, and they can't penetrate Lu Jin. I think that the Jizhen army is stationed on the Shunyi-Pinggu line in the east. It is absolutely safe. It is really not good for Liaodong. In Guangning and Daning, they can also send troops south. , will not delay the big event; the Xuanfu army and the Datong army are working together in the west, so there should be no danger..."

Seemingly noticing the dark eyes of Emperor Yonglong, Feng Ziying considered his words, and then said: "I grew up in Datong since I was young, and the loyalty of Datong soldiers can be shown every day, and it will never be influenced by other things. I feel sorry for you,..."

   Didn't mention the Xuanfu army, it's reasonable, I haven't stayed in Xuanfu, but Datong is the place where I grew up, Emperor Yonglong should understand what he means.

  Emperor Yonglong laughed, "Well, the Xuanfu Datong and the two armies work together, and the soldiers serve their orders. I should not worry about it."

   "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Great Zhou is in full swing, how can some small foreign enemies be able to shake it?" Feng Ziying stood up and kowtowed again, "I hope that my Great Zhou will last forever, and the emperor will live forever, and I will swear to serve you to the death..."

   Eloquent, eloquent, and coherent, this is an essential skill for officials in this era, right?

   It doesn’t seem to be completely true, Feng Ziying complained in her heart, at least officials like Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia may no longer be able to show their ability to please the emperor as casually as she does.

   Sure enough, as said in the play, Yonglong Emperor Longyan was very happy.

Don't think that Emperor Yonglong is the kind of stupid emperor who only listens to flattery. He was able to wrestle with the Supreme Emperor for more than ten years, and successfully suppressed the Yizhong Prince who was about to move and was supported by the mainstream of Wu Xun, so that the Supreme Emperor could not restore Prince Yizhong again. The position of the crown prince, finally able to sit on the position of the great treasure, and he can also compete with a group of veteran cabinet princes and six big bosses, how can Emperor Yonglong be a fatuous person?

  How could he fail to see that Feng Ziying's words came from the heart?

  Feng Ziying's words were indeed from the bottom of her heart. The current court of the Great Zhou Dynasty really cannot be chaotic, and it cannot be separated from Emperor Yonglong.

Although Emperor Yonglong is not considered a holy king, he is at least an upper-middle-level character, and he can clearly distinguish the priorities of the current court. It is because he can decisively suppress the northern scholars' attacks on the strategy of opening the sea that he is decisive. Pushing to open the sea can show that the emperor still has some heart and foresight.

Of course, the limitations of the times and his selfishness as a representative of the imperial power inevitably determined that he would think more about Zhang's imperial power or his own power. Suppress Wu Xun mercilessly and suppress Xiangquan.

  However, Feng Ziying felt that even if it was about dealing with Wu Xun or the power of a man, at least he had to assess the situation and choose the best time to do it.

From the present point of view, Emperor Yonglong and the cabinet and military department cooperated well in the magnificent attack on the Beijing camp. Of course, he also played a key role in fueling the flames. one.

  Emperor Yonglong was indeed in a happy mood. Feng Ziying expressed his attitude in a very cryptic but firm tone. Emperor Yonglong admired this increasingly mature guy more and more.

The Datong Army is the foundation of the Feng family. Although the second eldest of the three brothers of the Feng family has passed away long ago, and the third Feng Tang has long since resigned from the position of General Soldier of Datong, he later took over as General Soldier of Yulin and Governor of Jiliao and Liaodong Town The general soldier can also give some hope to those old subordinates in Datong, making him still very prestigious in the Datong army.

  The old boss was promoted, and also took away old subordinates such as Cao Wenzhao and You brothers. Cao Wenzhao is already the deputy commander in chief, and You Shigong has become the chief soldier of Jizhen.

Of course, the You brothers are subordinates that Feng Tang recruited in Yulin, but Cao Wenzhao is an out-and-out old subordinate in Datong, which shows that the old boss has not forgotten the original old subordinates. Therefore, the Feng family still has considerable influence in the Datong Army.

  As long as the Feng family is still there, it will be impossible for Niu Jizong to completely control the Datong army. This may be why Niu Jizong is most afraid.

Even if Niu Jizong could control the entire Xuanfu army, as long as he could not control the Datong army, even if the boss might have some kind of tacit understanding with the Mongols to hold back the Jizhen army, Niu Jizong would not dare to act rashly. The countermeasure of the business plan, why spare no effort to urge the Datong Army to enter the Shuntian Mansion as soon as possible, is to balance the Xuanfu Army, which Niu Jizong has the strongest control.

As long as the Datong Army and the Xuanfu Army are balanced, even if Chen Jixian of the Fifth Army Battalion in the capital city has two minds, there will be the Shenshu Battalion of the Enemy Shiben who can suppress it. Dare to move.

   "I heard that Feng Qing grew up in the town of Datong since he was a child,..." Emperor Yonglong was still a little worried, and he felt that he had to remind him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have been following my father in Datong since I was five years old. Because I was naughty since I was a child, I was taken by my father and often ran down there. I dare not say that I know everything about Datong, but I have basically run all over it..." Feng Ziying I have a good understanding in my heart, "Well, I heard that this time the Datong Army entered the capital to reinforce the Jizhen Army. There are also some elders and friends of the minister, and there are also relatives of the minister's family in Xuanfu Town, and the minister has not contacted them for a long time. , I was just saying that if we can repel the Mongols this time, we will find an opportunity to have a small gathering,..."

   "Oh?" Emperor Yonglong's eyes flashed, "Feng Qing has a heart, and the soldiers of the Datong Xuanfu Frontier Army have really worked hard all the way."

   Have a heart? Well, Feng Ziying chewed on the meaning of Emperor Yonglong's words, "Your Majesty's kindness, I will be conveyed to you..."

   Some words are too much to point to, but the emperor seems to be a little afraid that he won't understand it. Feng Ziying's thoughts are spinning, maybe Emperor Yonglong needs to send some kind of signal by himself?

   This idea was still pondering when Feng Ziying left the palace.

But soon Feng Ziying realized that she was still too simple. In the evening, it was reported that the emperor had summoned Feng Ziying, the co-prefect of Yongping Mansion, and praised his performance in fighting the Mongols in Yongping Mansion. up.

  When Feng Ziying heard the news, the spoon in her hand almost dropped.

  The news spread wildly, and even the details of the emperor rewarding a jade pendant to him after staying in the palace for nearly an hour quickly spread. It was obvious that this was intentional to create momentum.

  Even if it is not kept secret in the palace, but such a fast speed and such detailed details can be transmitted, the meaning here is long.

   What do Prince Yizhong and Niu Jizong think when they find out? What does Chen Jixian, who is pretending to be sick, think? I'm afraid I have to think twice.

Holding his wife's slightly bloated body in his arms, facing Feng Ziying's frowning, he must ask Shen Yixiu, who must understand, Feng Ziying reluctantly explained the details thoroughly, especially the emperor's proficient divorce methods, Shen Yixiu was dumbfounded after hearing it , I don’t know how to appease my husband.

   After a long time, Shen Yixiu said quietly: "Master, what are you worried about? Isn't it good that the emperor's trust is valued? Or you are worried about Prince Yizhong..."
