Chapter 1612: Ren Zijuan Lei Ting lags behind

  Chapter 1612 Renzi Juan Thunder is behind

"I don't know." Qin Keqing shook her head in distress, "How meaningful is the attitude of the concubine? He just remembered such an incident, and just reminded me by the way. In fact, the concubine does not go south. It's nothing to worry about, I'm afraid he doesn't have so much energy to pay attention to these trivial matters."

   "But you decided not to go south, and even persuaded Brother Rong not to go south?" Feng Ziying said calmly: "It was your mother's advice, what is the basis?"

"No." Qin Keqing's expression became more complicated, "I don't know whether to believe it or not, but since my father-in-law has gone south, and I didn't force Brother Rong to go south with me, I feel that there may have been arrangements there, or I don't even have confidence in it..."

  Hearing Qin Keqing's last words, Feng Ziying lowered her eyebrows and then raised them, "No confidence?"

"Since they don't even have absolute confidence in themselves, how can others be willing to put all their eggs in one basket with them? If they all have this kind of thinking, then the risk of failure in this kind of thing is probably greater?" Qin Keqing said quietly: " I don’t understand them, but I know how many people can have the so-called great determination and perseverance to abandon everything and take risks for an illusory wish if they are not forced to go nowhere?”

"It's like before I became a concubine, although I was panicked, helpless, and confused, and wanted to know my life experience and secrets, but when I was able to nest in this small courtyard with a piece of pure land that was not disturbed by others, I lived a peaceful life. , I don’t want to pick up the tulle that I don’t know what will happen behind it, because I’m afraid that everything will be broken and I won’t be able to return to the comfort of the past,..."

  Feng Ziying couldn't help but feel a little moved. This woman really has a lot of wisdom, and she can make a judgment on this kind of thing by trying to figure out people's hearts.

  That's right, people are born to be content with the status quo, as long as life can get by, who is willing to hang their heads and die?

   But those who decide these things are often not the middle and lower class people who want to live a good life, but those ambitious people with endless greed.

Prince Yizhong is unwilling to be the crown prince for twenty years but has nothing in the end. People like Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng are unwilling to be unwilling to see them, the old Wuxun family who flourished for a while with only one hand covering the sky, but are gradually marginalized by Emperor Yonglong. , Gu Tianjun, Jia Jing, and Zhen Yingjia are dissatisfied with the fact that the status of the Jiangnan gentry over the local gentry including Beidi Huguang was broken in the era of the Supreme Emperor, and the court is still continuously "squeezing" their interests. There are their dissatisfaction and unwillingness, but what about the real middle and lower class common people? They have neither the right to speak, and regardless of victory or defeat, in the end, they will fight together, and they will suffer.

  So everything that should happen has to continue to happen.

Qin Keqing's words are obviously reserved. It should be that his perfunctory treatment of this woman made the other party have some doubts and worries in his heart, but he didn't expect Jia Rong to listen to this woman's words, or Jia Rong himself was not sure. If you think about it, just follow the trend and trust this woman.

   "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, isn't your choice also an adventure?" Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, but it's a choice that weighs the lesser of two evils." Qin Keqing replied flatly: "The person sent a letter saying that since the Jia family and the Feng family are so close, they should follow the Feng family to make a choice." ,..."

  Feng Ziying couldn't bear it anymore, she laughed, and said in a teasing tone: "Who is this, who trusts our Feng family so much? This makes me a little frightened."

  Qin Keqing stared at Feng Ziying, "Uncle Feng, maybe not only you, but also the Feng family behind you."

  Feng Ziying's face tightened, "Is this what you thought of, or did I bring you a message?"

  Qin Keqing didn't make a sound for a long time, just lowered her head, and after a long while, she said leisurely: "I can feel it myself."

Feng Ziying's heart trembled, she didn't have that much ability, besides she had a good reputation in Beijing, and she had some vision and strategy, but it would be a bit exaggerated to say how much influence she had in this kind of matter, it seemed that he was still optimistic about her Father.

  Feng Ziying did not feel disappointed or jealous.

  Father represents the Feng family that has been cultivating in Datong for decades. The combination of Feng and Duan, the two officials and gentry, can be called the most powerful family alliance in Datong.

More than half of the military generals in Datong Town are more or less related to the Feng family. They either worked under the command of the uncle, the second uncle or the old man, or they received the favor of the Duan family of the Feng family, or they were simply the uncle, the second uncle and the old man. He was single-handedly promoted.

These generals climbed up and covered the two towns of Shanxi and Yulin. In addition, my father worked in Yulin for several years. After passing the Ningxia rebellion, he extended his hand into the four towns in the northwest. Expanding to Liaodong and Ji Town, it can be said that the Feng family is already a family with far more influence than the Li family in Liaodong.

  Of course, the Feng family is not without weaknesses. The Feng family's heirs are weak, and having no successors in the army is the biggest shortcoming, and even an unsolvable shortcoming.

   But having said that, if it weren't for this, Dad would have already become the target of suppression and restraint by the imperial court.

It is also fortunate that I have taken the path of a civil servant, otherwise my father would never be able to become the governor of Jiliao, let alone return to the northwest to serve as the governor of the three sides. , only his only son, and also took the road of a civil servant, he is not much of a threat to the court.

But now the old father is indeed an existence that no one can ignore. Feng Ziying even suspects that some interested people have already noticed or known that the old father has carried out a drill in Qingyang in the name of weeding out the old and weak and reorganizing the elite in the various ministries of the four northwest towns. Well, many people are afraid that they are also thinking about the purpose of the imperial court. After all, from Qingyang to the east, they can quickly enter Henan. Whether it is going north to the capital or going south to Huguang, it is relatively convenient.

Except for the Northwest side, Datong Town and Jiliao Town also have the shadow of the father or the Feng family, and no one can avoid it. Even Niu Jizong has to consider that he wants to raise the flag in Xuanda, Datong and Jiliao. How the town will react.

   It's no wonder that people keep a close eye on the Feng family's movements. If he is full of confidence, it naturally means that the Feng family has long been prepared, and even other people in the court will come to test it out.

  Seeing Qin Keqing lowering her head but not speaking anymore, Feng Ziying didn't know how to deal with this situation for a while.

  However, what is certain is that all forces in Beijing and China should start to take action. Those who are a little bit more informed should be aware that after the fall of Iron Net Mountain, the court will usher in a big change.

   First of all, the selection of the emperor's heir and the establishment of the heir, or the curtain of the kings seizing the heir is about to be officially opened, instead of everyone having to be ashamed as before. This kind of competition may be extremely fierce, and even use unscrupulous means.

  The second is the movement of Prince Yizhong.

Once the crown prince is determined, in fact, from another angle, Prince Yizhong's remaining illusion of "brothers end up with brothers" will be completely eradicated. Although this kind of idea may never have existed in the emperor, it still exists in some people's minds. After all, there was a precedent for the change of seizing the door in the previous Ming Dynasty, although the situation was slightly different.

Faced with a fundamental severance, the huge forces behind Prince Yizhong are bound to react violently. The same court, that is, the emperor, seems to have been waiting for this moment. The division completely eliminated this hidden danger with a thunderous force.

  The forces of all parties are entangled, and the entire court situation will be in turmoil. Everyone is waiting to see where the court situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will turn.

Feng Ziying has become more and more convinced that Emperor Yonglong probably has some tacit understanding with the cabinet and even the Ministry of War. As his physical condition is getting worse, Prince Yizhong's health is extremely healthy, and even the Supreme Emperor's body is still very healthy. Coupled with the noise from Jiangnan, if the threat of Prince Yizhong is not resolved in advance, it is feared that once Emperor Yonglong dies, there will be an incident that may end the throne of Emperor Yonglong Zhang Shen.

   But this is just Feng Ziying's guess, even if all the signs point to her suspicion.

Like Jia Jing's feigned death and going south, Jia Zhen's sale of assets, and even Niu Jizong's win over Sun Shaozu's layout in Datong, Long Jinwei turned a blind eye to it, Wang Ziteng's performance in Huguang, the dispute between the Seven Ministries of Nanjing and the court, the clamor of Jiangnan gentry, the emperor Both the court and the court were extremely weak, which made people look sideways.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Emperor Yonglong's wrist. You must know that Emperor Yonglong was quite decisive and ruthless in suppressing the rebellion in Ningxia and the corruption storm in Zhejiang a few years ago, but this time he was so indecisive. It was really because Is it because of physical energy?

   "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, you all value my Feng family so much." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "You go down first, I'm talking to Brother Rong."

Qin Keqing raised her head, "Uncle Feng, although there are many things wrong with the Jia family, but I have been in the Feng family for so many years, and they treat me with kindness, so I don't want to see the Jia family's true love." I have fallen to the point of being beyond redemption, and I ask Uncle Feng to take care of her in the future,..."

  Feng Ziying glanced at Qin Keqing, "I'm afraid I'm powerless about some things, but I will do my best."

  Qin Keqing went down, but Jia Rong came in salivating, "Master."

"Tell me, your father ran away, but you wanted to stay. You just listened to Qin's advice? What do you think?" Feng Ziying didn't believe that Jia Rong was so ignorant. This guy must be a little smart. He will listen to Qin's words.

  Jia Rong straightened her face, and bowed to the matter solemnly: "This is what was requested in the secret letter that my grandfather sent to my nephew alone, and my nephew just complied."
