Chapter 1664 Ren Zijuan do your own thing

  Feng Ziying had mixed feelings when she left.

  Because he didn't know whether what Emperor Yonglong talked to himself today was really as wise as Emperor Yonglong showed, and he felt that the court might not be ready to deal with the various risks after the Prince Yizhong incident broke out.

Feng Ziying talked with Emperor Yonglong about the trial planting and promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes in Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture, as well as the layout of the "coal-iron complex" in Yongping Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture, but he felt that Yonglong Emperor's current His mind was no longer on these specific details, even though he tried his best to show interest, but in essence his mind was already on the movements of Prince Yizhong and the performance of the princes after this fall.

  Feng Ziying didn't have the heart to comment on the princes, it had nothing to do with him, and it was not his turn to point fingers.

  Emperor Yonglong may have a favorite candidate in his heart, but he just wants to use this method to listen to everyone's reactions and opinions, so that he can realize the selection and establishment of the reserve in a more suitable way in the future.

   The disappointed Feng Ziying wanted to return to the capital immediately, but Emperor Yonglong kept him and wanted to summon him again in the next two days.

   This made Feng Ziying very puzzled. Is it necessary to determine the candidate for the crown prince in these two days and let him meet the new crown prince?

   This is a bit too urgent.

  The residence arranged for Feng Ziying in the palace is in the southwest corner of the outer palace.

  Being brought here by the palace attendants to settle down, Feng Ziying had time to look at the situation here.

  The iron net mountain palace is large in scale, with an estimated area of ​​2,000 mu. This is only Feng Ziying's estimate. It is divided into inner and outer palaces.

The inner palace is slightly smaller, about six or seven hundred acres of land, and is divided into two parts, the east and the west. The east side is relatively small, about a hundred acres, and is mainly the emperor's bedroom. Except for the emperor and his servants and personal guards, there is no Others; while the west side is larger, with more than ten pavilions and pavilions, mainly for concubines and adult heirs.

The composition of the outer palace is complicated. Some of the low-rise bungalows are stationed by the upper three relatives. The standard-bearer guards, the warrior battalion and the four-guard camp are all stationed, but there are only some generals and soldiers, mainly stationed in the southeast. Some soldiers of the three relatives were stationed outside the palace.

  The buildings in the southwestern direction are much more exquisite and detailed. They are almost composed of more than ten small courtyards. Adult princes, royal family members, and courtiers who come to see them can all temporarily live here.

  This grid-like small courtyard is more like a courtyard villa of later generations. It is independent but close to a bluestone corridor passing through the door, simple and compact.

  The people who followed Feng Ziying also lived in the small courtyard with Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying lived in the east wing, while Wu Yaoqing and the others lived in the west wing.

   The security here should still be safe.

  The Shang Sanqin Army almost surrounded the entire palace, while another guard force—Shenshu Battalion was stationed around the entire Iron Net Mountain Hunting Garden, forming two inner and outer defense circles with the Shang Sanqin Army.

   "My lord, judging by your expression, the meeting is not going well?" Wu Yaoqing accompanied Feng Ziying into the room and asked in a deep voice.

  He is well aware of Feng Ziying's thoughts and views. Feng Ziying's fear may seem a little pessimistic to him, but it is indeed possible, but the situation may not be as bad as Feng Ziying's fear.

  For example, Wu Yaoqing doesn't quite believe that Jiangnan can be unified under the command of Prince Yizhong.

Because in his view, Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, the second assistant, and Li Tingji, the elder of the cabinet, are all leaders of Fujian and Zhejiang scholars. Gu Bingqian, Liu Yixiu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and others are all highly prestigious scholars in Jiangnan scholars and have great influence on Jiangnan.

Although the Seventh Ministry of Nanjing has also assembled a group of spokespersons for Jiangnan gentry, compared with those on the imperial court, people such as Tang Binyin, Miao Changqi, Zhu Guozhen, and Gu Tianjun are all lower in terms of prestige and prestige. It seems that it is still a bit powerless to encourage the entire Jiangnan to split and confront the imperial court.

  How could a group of gentry in the south of the Yangtze River who have different opinions, split and oppose, compete with the imperial court? That's almost unimaginable.

As for the Xuanfu Army and the Denglai Army, these troops are in second place. As long as Prince Yizhong cannot get the support of Jiangnan, everything will be a castle in the air. The Xuanfu army and the Denglai army will naturally fall apart, or even turn against each other.

  Wu Yaoqing was a little worried about whether the White Lotus Sect and the Mongols and Jurchens outside the side wall would take the opportunity to make trouble.

In particular, although the White Lotus Sect seems to be a mass of scattered sand now, according to the current situation, it can be known that a looming vein is connecting the White Lotus forces in Beizhi, Shandong, Shanxi, and Fengzhou Beach outside the side wall. The trend of consolidating power, once this force gathers together to form a unified force, it really cannot be underestimated that the harm will be great.

However, the White Lotus Sect has existed in the north for tens of hundreds of years. Over the years, there have been ups and downs, prosperity and decline. Maybe it is not uncommon for a person to inadvertently have their own divisions and internal strife or even collapse. This is not uncommon. These secret societies with few organizations were originally like this, internally fighting for power and profit, if they encountered a few unreliable leaders, it would not be impossible for them to collapse because of one or two incidents.

"Well, the emperor may have other plans, but I'm still worried that they underestimated the seriousness and complexity of the situation, and there are many variables in it." Feng Ziying said briefly, "I still have that point of view, Prince Yizhong If you really want to make a move, it will definitely be a one-hit kill, or even a multi-pronged approach, without leaving any chance, but I feel that the emperor and the court seem to have room for it, which is very dangerous."

"My lord, although you have done everything you can, since the emperor has made arrangements, we should focus on our own affairs. You have already reported everything you are worried about to the emperor and Mr. Qige. They should understand the pros and cons. The thing to do on the Internet is, as you said, to make all preparations, as Xue Erye is doing now, to increase efforts to transport and stockpile food, just in case; another example is to ask the governor to be safe Prepare, or does the Feng Mansion also need to store some food in Beijing,..."

Wu Yaoqing's words made Feng Ziying wave his hands, "Brother Tad and my father, I have already made arrangements, and we can proceed according to the established plan. As for whether there is a need to store food in the mansion, the two ladies in the mansion will consider it. Yaoqing, what do you think? The top priority we have to do now, or what we can do to deal with it, what should we do at the moment? Or, if the situation is really as dire as I expected, what else can I do now to help in the future response?"

This question of Feng Ziying put Wu Yaoqing under a lot of pressure. After weighing it for a long time, he said slowly: "I think that other things are not sure, but the only thing that is most important is to step up the control of the Shuntian government office, and even the government offices of the prefectures and counties. , but as far as the current situation is concerned, it may be difficult for the states and counties to achieve the effect for a while, but the government can do it, especially now that Mr. Wu does not ask about government affairs, and even stays in the Iron Net Mountain Palace. Your lord, this is a great opportunity for you to establish your own prestige."

"Very well said!" Feng Ziying showed a satisfied smile on his face, "The government office has done a good job in the early stage, and the major reorganization and adjustment of the third class of government servants has achieved very good results. After going through the department and the grinding office, as well as the official room and the torture room, it can be regarded as settled down. Now, the next ones may be household buildings and military buildings. When I go back this time, I will tidy up the household buildings and military buildings..."

Hufang and workshops have always been the territory of the general judges. For the households, although Feng Ziying intervened through the Fu test in the early stage, only two of the five general judges have now turned to Feng Ziying. One is neutral and slightly inclined to Feng Ziying, and the other two have an ambiguous attitude. , Considering that he had just stabilized the official room and punishment room, Feng Ziying temporarily let the household room go.

  As for the Bingfang, because of the particularity that Shuntian Mansion was located under the eyelids of the imperial court, the Qing army and civilian affairs mainly managed by the Bingfang could not get involved. According to the usual practice, it was almost directly managed by the Ministry of War.

However, how can the Qing army and Minzhuang, which are obviously local affairs, be managed by the military department? It just continued the old practice since the Taihe and Guangyuan years. Established the Minzhuang Affairs, but then the situation subsided and then restored the original, so now it is useless.

  Considering the current tense atmosphere, Feng Ziying thought that maybe he could take this opportunity to communicate with the Ministry of War and handle these two matters single-handedly.

Wu Yaoqing didn't expect Feng Ziying's appetite to be so big. Once he wants to take down the household and military buildings, it is almost the responsibility of the governor. , now that Feng Ziying basically controls the Experience Department, Zhaomo Office, and the official office, Wu Daonan has no objection, so what's the surprise in taking down the household office and military office?

   "Sir, do you still want to stay here?" Wu Yaoqing asked casually.

"The emperor wants to see me in two days, so I have to wait." Feng Ziying sighed, "But I don't think it's meaningful to see the emperor again. Ask,..."

"However, my lord doesn't know that there are already many people who are concerned about your being summoned by the emperor. In the short time since you entered the palace, someone has already come to inquire about us and leave a name card." Wu Yaoqing laughed , "This is all for the selection of reserves, but you said that you are not interested. This is so disappointing."

   "Oh?" Feng Ziying was surprised, "Someone came to the door so soon? I don't remember meeting anyone along the way."
