Chapter 1739: Remonstrance in Ren Zi Juan

  Chapter 1739 Renzi Juan Admonishment

   "Right and right supervise the country side by side?!" Feng Ziying's suggestion made everyone go crazy, how can this work?

  Qi Yongtai and Li Sancai frowned and pondered, Qiao Yingjia and Han Yu stared at each other intently while stroking their beards. The other people also had very different expressions. They looked at each other and shook their heads, or whispered in whispers.

   But Sun Juxiang couldn't hold back, and asked in a deep voice: "There has never been a precedent for setting up a left and right supervisor. If the two disagree, how can it be done?"

  Feng Ziying laughed, "Bo Xiaogong is joking, are the opinions of King Shou and King Lu important? Can you still influence the opinions of the seven cabinet departments?"

  Feng Ziying's harsh words made Sun Juxiang at a loss for words.

   That’s right, when is it necessary to ask for their opinions? This prison country is originally a decoration to deal with Nanjing and public opinion. What does it matter if there is one more or one less?

"Besides, isn't it better to have different opinions? The court chooses the good one and follows it. Well, the court's opinion is good. The two supervisors should learn to be familiar with court affairs first. Be prepared for enthronement, isn't it? Those who perform well are more likely to be kings." Feng Ziying blinked mischievously.

"If the performance is not good, don't you have a few more princes? You can change them and try them out. In fact, according to the student's intention, the five princes will give some opportunities. If the performance is not good for a year, you can change to Fu Wang Li Wang or even Gong Wang to try, if both of them are not good, it is not impossible to replace both."

  This, how can this be?

  Everyone's eyes fell on Feng Ziying. What was going on in this guy's mind? Is the job of supervising the country like a child's play?

Sun Juxiang wanted to refute it, but suddenly realized that none of the colleagues around him made a sound, and gave him a slightly surprised look. It seemed that everyone was thoughtful, and after being surprised, he calmed down and thought carefully, as if there is something wrong here. There are also some other flavors.

   "If the emperor is unlucky,..." Sun Juxiang thought for a while before saying again.

   "If that's the case, then you can only choose between King Shou and King Lu. Anyway, at present, they seem to be more in line with everyone's wishes than those three." Feng Ziying said without exception.

The hall was silent for a while, Feng Ziying seemed not satisfied, and said: "My lords, the current situation is difficult and dangerous, and we must work together. The position of supervising the country is actually not that important, and it is more important to maintain a high level with the court." consistent direction, so…”

  So those who do not maintain a high degree of consistency with the imperial court, those who want to be awkward and ingenious, and those who are too assertive, just replace them? Many of the people present couldn't help but have such thoughts in their hearts.

But I have to say, this may be the most suitable. The enemy in the south is now. If you don’t pay attention, the big guys will be kicked out and go home separately. The most important thing is to win the immediate battle and quell the southern rebellion.

   Qi Yongtai and Li Sancai looked at each other, and they both saw the approval in each other's eyes.

If the model proposed by Feng Ziying is followed, then the meaning of supervising the country will be infinitely downplayed. Whether it is the prince or the prince, it will depend on the performance of the princes. This also gives everyone more choices. This is not a bad thing.

Originally, everyone was dissatisfied with the King of Shou, but if they accepted the Emperor’s favored King Lu in the name of establishing a “virtuous”, they felt that it was against the rules. After all, this “virtuous” seemed to be the emperor’s point of view. "Xian" seems to be the fairest, but the hidden meaning behind this is that whoever can best meet the wishes of the court and even the cabinet is the most "virtuous".

Qiao Yingjia, Wang Yongguang, Han Yu, Cui Jingrong and others were also aware of this, and they still whispered to each other to discuss the possibility of this arrangement. Qi Yongtai and Li Sancai also felt that although Feng Ziying's proposal was a bit unconventional, it was very suitable. Everyone's intentions, and it is estimated that Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe will find it difficult to reject this suggestion. Even the princes can't say anything. After all, I can show each of you a chance. Of course, the premise is that the emperor has always been like this Personnel unconscious.

Judging from the current situation of the emperor, he can already take liquid food such as ginseng soup and gruel, and has some consciousness, but his mind has not recovered. How long will this situation last? Will it continue to improve or suddenly worsen? There are different opinions and different conclusions, but everyone's opinion is that it is possible to go in the direction of improvement, but it is estimated that it is impossible to return to the original normal state, or it will be paralyzed in bed like this.

The Supreme Emperor also came to see the Emperor, but told the imperial physician to treat him well. Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe also made a special report on the Nanjing incident, but the Supreme Emperor thought that he had abdicated and did not express any opinions on the affairs of the court. Everything was decided by the cabinet. Because of this, he returned to Renshou Palace without saying anything.

  In this situation, all the burdens and responsibilities are actually pushed on the shoulders of the court officials. If they can’t do well, then all the responsibilities are the crimes of the court officials.

  Feng Ziying can understand Emperor Yuanxi's approach. What can he express at this time?

   Support Prince Yizhong, what if Emperor Yonglong suddenly wakes up? Obviously, most of the officials in the court supported the line of Emperor Yonglong, and Emperor Yonglong still had five sons anyway.

   Supporting Emperor Yonglong is a matter of course. Needless to say, if Emperor Yonglong cannot wake up, which grandson will he support? That's a thankless thing.

None of the princes are good-natured, and Emperor Yuanxi knew a thing or two in Renshou Palace. The cabinet may have been inclined long ago, so why bother to interfere in this kind of matter, so it is enough to care about Emperor Yonglong, and leave the rest to him. The people in the cabinet, some things are out of his turn.

  After a while of discussion, Qi Yongtai and Li Sancai also initially approved Feng Ziying's suggestion to supervise the country. In addition, they can switch at any time according to the situation, so as to give more opportunities to the princes, so as to observe the performance of the princes.

  Everyone also accepted this opinion. Of course, the final result of the negotiations with Ye Fang would depend on it, but if nothing unexpected happens, this opinion should be supported by everyone.

  The next topic is military deployment and money and food issues.

  If the establishment of the supervisory state is an orthodox issue in response to Nanjing, and it belongs to setting up the banner and determining the direction, then the military response and money and food guarantee are the specific implementation and operational issues of implementing the orthodox righteousness.

   On this issue, everyone’s discussions were also extremely intense, mainly on the use of Feng Tang’s Northwest Army, and the resolution of the Shandong and Huguang issues, which were quite difficult and had great differences.

  Although everyone is aware that there may be troubles in Shanshan and Shaanxi, after all, they haven't happened yet, and if Shandong falls, the capital will definitely be in turmoil, which is related to the support of the people.

As for Huguang, it is related to food and the support of Huguang scholars, and it must be resolved. Even the Bozhou Rebellion can be temporarily put aside. The army has become a top priority.

"The four towns in the northwest have temporarily transferred between 50,000 and 70,000 troops for training..." Zhang Huaichang introduced: "According to the news from the Tang Dynasty, the first round of training has been completed, and the number is about 40,000. The second round of training will probably take about a month to complete, the number of people is 20,000 to 30,000, and another 20,000 people are on the way, and it is estimated that the training will be completed at least until the end of the year."

   "If this is the case, we can first let 50,000 people from Tang Dynasty go eastward, and the remaining 40,000 people will stay in Qingyang after finishing training..." Li Sancai suggested.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Zhang Huaichang shook his head: "It may be difficult for Huguang to rely on the Jingxiang Army alone to defeat the Denglai Army. At least 30,000 more troops will be added. To solve it, it is best to increase the number of troops by 50,000,..."

  Zhang Huaichang's words sparked a debate among the crowd.

   "50,000? How to ensure the supply of food and grass?"

   "As long as you enter Huguang, it's easy to handle, solicit on the spot,..."

   "How can it be that simple? Wang Ziteng has been in Huguang for two years, do you think he is really beating Yang Yinglong? I'm afraid he has already made preparations to occupy Huguang, otherwise it would be impossible to act like this!"

"So what? It is impossible for the gentry in Huguang to support Nanjing. We have arranged one or two people here, such as Zishu (Chai Ke) and Jinghui (Bi Ziyan) to govern Huguang, and Xiu Ling (Yang He) also In Huguang, it is enough to win the hearts of the people,..."

   "Military training age is still a bit behind, we need a general..."

   "Young rope (Sun Chengzong) is worthy of a great responsibility,..."

   "Is he worthy of a great job? Then he has been in Sichuan for two years, but why has he not seen any results?" Someone immediately objected.

   "That's because the military orders are not unified, each goes its own way, and Wang Ziteng deliberately restrains them, how can they fight?"

   "Yang Yinglong, chieftain, fought so hard. I'm afraid it may not be because of the unification of military orders. Prince Tengyuan is in Huguang to the east. If he can conquer it in one fell swoop, how can he contain it?"

   "How about Fei Bai (Xiong Tingbi)?" Han Yan asked in a deep voice.

   "Fei Bai is going temporarily, I'm afraid it will take time to get acquainted." Cui Jingrong hesitated.

   "It's better than such a delay, and the Ministry of Household Affairs can't stand it anymore." Wang Yongguang continued.

Feng Ziying heard them arguing, and wanted to intervene, but she also felt that Xiong Tingbi was from Huguang and had a lot of military strategy. If he could go, he would be more motivated and be able to contact the local area. The situation that may happen in the Northwest is also all right.

   Moreover, he also felt that the princes present didn't seem to have a high opinion of Sun Chengzong, and his own advice might not be accepted. If the old man could join hands with Sun Chengzong, it might be more appropriate, so he didn't say anything.
