Chapter 1221 Geng Scroll Interlude

"Prince Gong? Zhang Cong?" King Zhongshun was astonished. He glanced at Feng Ziying who was also confused, and then at Lu Wang Zhang Su who seemed a little surprised. He shook his head, "Ruolan, Zhang Cong is alone. here?"

  King Gong Zhang Cong is only ten years old, how could he come here in person?

   "No, it was accompanied by a housekeeper from Prince Gong's residence." Wei Ruolan also slowly regained her composure.

  As the eldest princess's son, he has a keener and deeper understanding of such things than ordinary people.

Today, Zhang Su and Zhang Cong came to Feng Ziying's mansion by coincidence to congratulate him. If it is said that Zhang Su may have done it on his own initiative, or it may be because there is a very scheming Concubine Mei behind him, then it is obvious that he is younger. Zhang Cong, who may understand the mystery, is obviously because Chen Jingxuan, the governor of the three sides, and Zhang Jingqiu, the minister of the Ministry of War, are standing behind him.

King Zhongshun and King Lu both exchanged glances, Zhang Su lowered his eyes and said nothing, but King Zhongshun smiled intriguingly, "Ziying, you should go and greet him, although Zhang Cong is young, he is also the emperor's son I'm afraid I came here admiring your name, Ziying, and maybe I want to worship you as my teacher..."

  Feng Ziying smiled, "My lord was just joking. The whole city knows that Ziying doesn't understand poetry. How can she have the right to fight an axe in front of your highnesses? Then my lord and His Highness Lu Wang will wait a while, and I will come as soon as I go."

Feng Ziying followed Wei Ruolan to the gate, and Wei Ruolan couldn't help but sigh softly: "Ziying, King Lu and King Gong both came to congratulate in person, and I think the gifts from King Shou, King Fu and King Li also cost a year. After thinking about it, all the highnesses value Ziying so much, which makes me a little envious."

"Ruolan, aren't you envious and jealous? Are you secretly worrying about me?" Feng Ziying walked forward calmly, "I understand, how can I meddle in the affairs of the family today? Your highnesses are gradually growing up. Even this His Royal Highness Prince Gong is almost eleven years old, that is to say, there are still more than three years to come of age. It is said that he is an early bloomer. Not to mention brothers and cousins, how can the ministers in the court not understand the whole story, but such matters are all decided by the Sacred Heart, how can outsiders get in the way?"

"Not necessarily." Wei Ruolan shook her head, "The emperor is capable of arbitrariness, but he will not ignore the perceptions of your ministers. Our dynasty does not have regulations on establishing a heir and an elder. We prefer to establish virtuous people, but virtuous people One said, different people have different opinions,..." After hesitating for a while, Wei Ruolan whispered: "The current emperor is not the kind of person who is mean, ungrateful and self-willed. Before selecting talents, he must seek the opinions of all the ministers, so... "

   "So your highnesses want to show something in front of the ministers?" Feng Ziying laughed, "Then you should go to the cabinet and the six princes to show it well. What's the point of coming to me?"

"You are the well-known Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan in the capital city! Not to mention your chief teacher Qi Ge, even the chief assistant and the second assistant, they all value you very much. You can be summoned by the emperor alone several times in just a few years. How many people are there in the court?"

Wei Ruolan is no longer the Wei Ruolan of a few years ago, and Feng Ziying has to admit that this guy has grown faster than Han Qi and Chen Yejun. Of course, Chen Yejun is still a little confused. Chen Jixian was always like a cloud of fog. It is estimated that even the emperor is still uncertain, and it may not appear until a critical moment.

"It's not that exaggerated. I'm just an external official. As time goes by, even if Bo is famous, he will gradually be forgotten by people. A new generation replaces the old one. After every subject, there will be young and handsome people who will rise up. .” Feng Ziying smiled back.

"Ziying, you don't need to humble yourself in front of me. Look at the year you went to Yongping Mansion. Has your reputation in Beijing faded a bit? Did the emperor summon you again alone? Who are the people in the capital during the Qian'an battle?" I don’t know whose credit it is? It only cost 200,000 taels to redeem 60,000 soldiers from the Mongols. It’s true that everyone doesn’t know that you went to negotiate with the Mongolian chieftain alone?” Wei Ruolan chuckled, “Okay Now, let's not talk about this. If you can enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister in the future, I will be happy. At least my mother is happy to see it. Anyway, we also grew up together. In the future, I will be able to speak no?"

  Feng Ziying sneered: "Ruolan, I don't believe that you really want to live in the clan's mansion for the rest of your life?"

"I don't want to go either, but with my status, I can't study well, can I still be an official in the court?" Wei Ruolan said with some self-deprecation: "It's better than the idle clan, and I won't be raised like pigs ,..."

"Times have changed, Ruolan, who can say clearly what will happen in the future? The imperial government's sea ban is not an iron law, and it is also lifted now? Three provinces and six ministries, it is a matter of course, since ancient times, but it is not necessary now. Have we become seven during the Yonglong period?" Feng Ziying waved her hand: "Ruolan, if you have the heart, don't waste your time, so that you can gain momentum and look forward to it, there will be a chance in the end."

  Wei Ruolan's eyes were bright, she looked at Ziying: "Ziying, did you hear some news? Don't lie to me."

Seeing that Wei Ruolan suddenly regained her spirits, Feng Ziying felt amused. It seemed that this little fellow still had a heart that was unwilling to be lonely. And it can be said clearly, you and I love brothers, can I still harm you? Remember my words, it will definitely make sense. "

   "Okay, Ziying, I've made a note of it." Wei Ruolan took a deep breath and lowered her voice: "If I can't fulfill it in the future, I will come to my door to talk about it, the future chief assistant!"

  Feng Ziying glanced sideways at this guy, feeling a little touched.

There are hints in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" that he and Shi Xiangyun seem to have a relationship, but Feng Ziying knows that this is either made up by the so-called Red Studies experts, or that he came to this time and space to change everything, but he still thinks Most of them are the former. Given the current situation of the historians, how could Wei Ruolan, as the son of the eldest princess, have a high opinion of Shi Xiangyun?

And now Wei Ruolan has married a wife, a decent family of 800 officials in the capital city, her wife's grandfather once served as the elder of the pavilion in the Guangyuan period, and her uncle also served as the left servant of the Ministry of Industry in the 20th year of Yuanxi, and her father was Juren Although he was not a Jinshi of Chinese origin, he also served as the Chancellor of Taipu Temple, and now he also has a cousin who serves as the master book of Guanglu Temple. How can such a family background be compared with the current down-and-out historians?

  Feng Ziying walked straight ahead without answering, while Wei Ruolan was full of interest and became energetic.

  At the door, Feng Ziying saw the Prince Gong Zhang Cong who was said to be an early master.

I have to say that the current emperor's sons are all handsome and handsome gentlemen with red lips, white teeth and white teeth in terms of their appearance alone. This is the case for King Lu and Zhang Yu. The eyes are even more radiant, which can make a deep impression on people at a glance.

   "Master Feng, congratulations." Seeing Feng Ziying coming, Zhang Cong, who was still looking around with great interest at the guests, immediately stepped forward to congratulate.

"I have seen His Highness Prince Gong, and it is a great honor for the Feng family to have His Royal Highness Prince Gong here." Feng Ziying disliked such crazy talk, but she couldn't help but say, "This way please, Prince Zhongshun and Prince Lu are also here. "

"Oh?" It's not surprising that King Zhongshun was here, but he didn't expect his elder brother Zhang Yu to be there. As far as Zhang Cong knew, his brothers seemed to be taking care of the children, and they didn't come in person. coming?

  Although he was surprised in his heart, Zhang Kui didn't show any abnormality on his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang and Brother Seven are here too? That's a good thing."

Emperor Yonglong had five sons who grew up under his knees, but in fact there were several more among them, but they all died young. In addition to King Shou who was the eldest, King Fu and King Li were the third and fourth sons respectively, King Lu was the seventh son, and King Zhang was the seventh son. Li is the ninth child.

  Feng Ziying saw that the other party was so young that he didn't mess around in the slightest, and he was a little impressed. This kind of temperament is also afraid that the city will take some time to develop. No wonder the other sons of Emperor Yonglong are a little jealous of this underage brother.

   "Your Highness, this way please." Feng Ziying also raised her hand with a smile.

  The two brothers, King Lu and King Gong, were also very affectionate when they met. The two brothers held hands and greeted each other for a while, but they were brothers and sisters. It was seen that King Zhongshun and Feng Ziying were both stroking their beards and stroking their chins.

   "Ziying, are you a little surprised?" King Zhongshun said suddenly, but the expression on his face was half a smile.

  Feng Ziying blinked, "My lord, it's not unexpected whether you come or not. It's not a bad thing, is it?"

Feng Ziying's words made King Zhongshun chew for a while before he nodded: "That's right, it's not a bad thing, at least everyone has the awareness of this aspect, it's better than muddling around, as long as the emperor knows what's in his mind, but now say It's still a little too early."

This is a bit exposed, but Feng Ziying can understand it from the perspective of King Zhongshun. For Emperor Yonglong, it is far from considering his own sons. He needs to solve the threat from Prince Yizhong first. .

The two princes and King Zhongshun also added a bit of excitement to Feng Ziying's marriage. Although King Lu and Prince Gong were the youngest among the princes of Emperor Yonglong, they were both sealed. In theory, these two have the opportunity to ascend to the position of great treasure in the future. Among the guests, important officials like Chai Ke and Guan Yingzhen naturally don't care too much, but some officials of the sixth and seventh ranks have some ideas Naturally, they would not let go of such an opportunity to get acquainted with each other, they would all come forward to greet each other and make a familiar face.

Of course, Zhang Yu and Zhang Wei are also willing to take this opportunity to get acquainted with these scholars and officials who can associate with Feng Ziying. Thinking from a distance, if getting acquainted with one or two can be used for yourself or the relationship between the two parties will be closer, that is also a good thing. .
