Chapter 1421 Xin Zijuan guessing

"I heard from Lu Song that you need to use the Beijing camp for the investigation and arrest of an important case in Shuntian Prefecture?" Emperor Yonglong didn't talk nonsense with Feng Ziying, and asked directly, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Do you know the duties of the Beijing camp? The soldiers and horses of the five cities The Division and the Patrol Battalion are so unbearable that neither one is trustworthy?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty should know what case the Shuntian Mansion is currently investigating. Jingtong Second Warehouse is related to the food security of millions of people in Gyeonggi. Once the water transportation is unexpectedly interrupted, this Jingtong Second Warehouse is the lifeline to ensure the hunger and hunger of the officials and people in Gyeonggi for several months. , if there is a mistake, it will be a catastrophe, but everyone knows what it is about, but there are still people who dare to risk the world's dissatisfaction to attack Jingtong Ercang. How can your majesty not know the power and influence behind these people? ? As long as there is a slight leak, it will fall short, and its impact can be imagined, Your Majesty,..."

  Emperor Yonglong's question was not polite, and Feng Ziying's answer was also not polite.

  It’s already this time, and you’re still talking about outdated rules and vulgar customs with me here. If you want to say this, is it in accordance with the rules that you cleaned the Beijing camp? The influence of Wu Xun's children in the Beijing camp has been weakened to a negligible level. Isn't this a violation of the previous system? You must know that when Emperor Taihe of the Great Zhou established the Great Zhou, it was clearly stipulated that all the generals in the Beijing camp should be mainly the children of Wu Xun, and they should not be equated with the frontier army and the guard army. The stability of the imperial power is a bit like sharing the wealth and honor of the world with Wu Xun.

   It’s just that martial arts can conquer the world, but scholastic literati are needed to rule the world. Therefore, as the power of scholastic literati quickly gained a foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty and replaced Wu Xun, using literature to control martial arts has also become the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The army where Wu Xun is based has also divided over time. After decades of fierce battles with Mongolia and Jurchen, the frontier army has gradually become the absolute main force of the Great Zhou military force, while the Beijing camp has become more pampered and more of a decoration. Under the rule that the army is not allowed to enter Beijing, the more than 100,000 troops in the Beijing camp are still the decisive force in the situation in central Beijing, but a new round of reforms has begun under the hands of Emperor Yonglong.

Emperor Yonglong didn't care much about Feng Ziying's attitude. For a courtier who was dedicated to serving the public, Emperor Yonglong still had some capacity for it, and he didn't know how bad Jingtong Ercang was now. It should have been done long ago. solved.

It's just that once the pustule is squeezed, it will inevitably involve too many people and cause shocks in the court. In his own poor health, Emperor Yonglong really felt that he had more energy than he wanted, so he completely handed it over to the cabinet. He was worried about dealing with these scholars. Those people were too calculating and often took this opportunity to expand their power. That's why he had this entanglement.

  He needs to carefully evaluate all possible risk factors mentioned by Feng Ziying.

   "The access to the second warehouse in Beijing is related to the overall situation. Of course I know it, but it is precisely because the matter is so important. If there is a big fight and the warehouse is investigated, will the Beijing warehouse be implicated?" Emperor Yonglong stared straight at Feng Ziying.

  Feng Ziying was silent for a while, and then opened her mouth: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there has been no reaction in this regard,..."

"I didn't ask you whether you have evidence or clues, but whether you think Jingcang will be involved?" Emperor Yonglong said impatiently: "Feng Qing, stop fooling me with those slippery words in the court. Want to hear your truth!"

  " It should be involved, Jingtong is integrated, Tongcang is like this, how can Jingcang be an exception?" Feng Ziying said in a deep voice.

"Since that's the case, once Jingtong Second Warehouse has to be thoroughly investigated, then what should you do if something happens to what you mentioned? Can you guarantee that Jingtong Second Warehouse can quickly resume normal operation?" Emperor Yonglong had a cold smile on his face. , gloomy eyes.

"I can't, and I can't guarantee it! That's not my job!" Feng Ziying protested, "I've already asked the Ministry of Accounts. If the warehouse needs to be re-arranged, the Ministry of Accounts should have experienced staff. Even if there is a short-term confusion, But it’s better than procrastinating and causing catastrophe.”

   "Big disaster?" Emperor Yonglong heard something in Feng Ziying's words, and his heart tightened, "What a big disaster, Feng Qing's meeting with me, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as investigating the Tongcang case?"

Feng Ziying took a deep breath, he wanted to see Emperor Yonglong, of course it would not be just a simple case of Tongcang, in fact, if it was just a case of Tongcang, he basically achieved his intention through the conversation with Lu Song the day before yesterday, he even It can be concluded that as long as Lu Song brings the words, Emperor Yonglong will not have any obstacles, only a part of the Beijing camp, the exception is also approved by the emperor, not to mention any big treason, but earth-shattering.

  He really wanted to use such an opportunity to remind Emperor Yonglong.

Since entering Shuntian Mansion, Feng Ziying has felt more and more the chaos and corruption within the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the struggle for power and profit in the center of the court is nothing more than that. This is inevitable in any dynasty, but as long as you do things, you can bear it anywhere, but the key is Nothing can be done under the constraints of each other. If it is a peaceful day, that's fine, but now that there are internal and external troubles, and you are still so leisurely, it is really the end of the world.

Look at the southwestern rebellion, which is like shit. With a famous minister like Sun Chengzong, he mobilized the three military towns of Guyuan Army, Jingxiang Army, and Denglai Army, not even counting the local guards integrated by Sun Chengzong and Geng Ruqi in Chongqing. Minzhuang was dragged around by Yang Yinglong and several chieftain rebels taking advantage of the terrain, climate and supply problems, and has not made decisive progress so far.

Look at the rampage of the Mongol invasion in Suncheon Prefecture last year, which stirred up the entire periphery of Gyeonggi and left a mess. In fact, I came to Suncheon Prefecture to clean up these messes. Last year, the imperial court barely delayed it with relief and relocation. It has passed, but this year there is another severe drought. Feng Ziying is really worried that the more than one million people in Shuntian Prefecture will not be able to survive this winter and next spring, and there will be another chaos.

Reminiscent of the spread of the White Lotus Sect in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, the leniency and perfunctory of the government, the signs of severe drought in Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion, and the signs of instability in the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Yizhong Weirdly too quiet, Feng Ziying was really flustered.

Although it cannot be said that I am tied to Emperor Yonglong's carriage, even if Prince Yizhong takes the position, I still have a chance, but Feng Ziying can conclude that if Prince Yizhong takes the position, then the scholars in the north will only be killed by Prince Yizhong. Use it as a weight to balance the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and beat the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River from time to time, and the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River will completely replace the scholars in the north to become the leading force in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As the representative of the new generation of scholars in the north Characters, it is absolutely impossible to have such a good opportunity again, and it is impossible to be reused so much.

  Although it seems that Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, and Li Tingji are in the dominant position in the cabinet, Qi Yongtai's voice in the cabinet is actually no less than Fang Congzhe, or even more so.

This can be seen from now that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has become Gao Panlong, but Qi Yongtai still relies on the prestige he established when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the cooperation of Chai Ke, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, to firmly control the Ministry of Officials. .

  Of course, this also depends on the tacit support of Emperor Yonglong.

Li Sancai in the cabinet seems to be close to the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but in fact he still obeys Emperor Yonglong more. Under the instruction of Emperor Yonglong, the subtle cooperation between Qi Yongtai and Li Sancai can compete against Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe and Li Sancai. The iron triangle of Tingji and the three of them.

  Because of this, Feng Ziying saw that the situation was getting worse and worse for his own side, so he wanted to make some efforts from the level of Emperor Yonglong.

Like Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, he has also worked hard, or reminded him explicitly or secretly, but the inertial thinking and solidified concepts make them always think that the situation is under control. From the bottom of their hearts, they also have a sense of superiority, that is, Whatever the emperor wanted to do, he still had to use these scholars, whether they were from the north or from the south of the Yangtze River. However, for Feng Ziying personally, this kind of interest might be damaged, and it was impossible for him to obtain the same kind of income as he is now. Great opportunity.

In other words, once Prince Yizhong really came to power, the power of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River would definitely increase, and it would definitely not be his turn to be the Chancellor of Shuntianfu, whether it was Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, or Tang Bin from Jiangnan. Yin, Miu Changqi, Gu Tianjun, Zhen Yingjia, or Jia Jing, Niu Jizong, and Wang Ziteng would not hand over such an important position to someone who did not belong to them.

  So he wants this opportunity to face the saint, try harder, remind him, and do his best.

   Judging from the mental state of the emperor, it seems that he is not bad, not as miserable as rumored by the outside world, which makes Feng Ziying a little relieved.

  If Emperor Yonglong's physical condition is really bad, then Feng Ziying will have to consider whether she can say what she said, or whether it is meaningful.

   "Reporting to Your Majesty, I do have something to say." Feng Ziying took a deep breath.

  Emperor Yonglong's eyes were solemn, he could feel that Feng Ziying specially found Lu Song's way to meet him this time, maybe it was not that simple.

With Feng Ziying as Qi Yongtai's favorite student, Qiao Yingjia as his benefactor, and even Guan Yingzhen as his teacher, these few people can directly request to meet him, so why can't they pass on what they have to say? , Do you have to meet in person?

  If it was someone else, it might be because she wanted to make Mu Tianyan proud, but Feng Ziying shouldn’t need it. I’ve seen it a few times in person, so why bother with such tricks?

  In this way, Feng Ziying probably has some views different from Qi Yongtai and others, so he wants to play alone.

  Shuntian Fucheng did not have the right to play alone, Feng Tang did, but Feng Tangyuan was in Liaodong, and their father and son had different paths in culture and martial arts, and their understanding of the situation and opinions may not be the same.

   Taking a deep breath, Emperor Yonglong nodded and sat up straight. He wanted to hear what the Cheng of Shuntian Mansion, who was about to stir up a storm when he came to Shuntian Mansion, had to say.
