Chapter 190: A gift from Volume B, to strengthen your heart (First update, please vote!)

His eyes flashed as he stared at Feng Ziying, but Wang Ziteng did not speak.

“It’s naturally inappropriate to resign as the right minister, but what if you take the initiative to resign as the military governor of Beijing?” Feng Ziying smiled softly.

 “This is a big matter, and I’m afraid I’ll let you down.” After a long time, Prince Tengcai said slowly, without comment.

Jun En? Who is this gentleman? The Supreme Emperor, or the current Holy Emperor? Feng Ziying sneered inwardly.

Feng Ziying slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then put it down, and then said: "Uncle is not the only one who deserves your kindness, right?"

Wang Ziteng's heart moved, and after thinking about it slowly, he suddenly realized that this guy really had some skills, and he could actually come up with such a move.

But he still wanted to see what this guy could say. This guy surprised him more and more, and interested him more and more.

"My nephew sees that Uncle Niu of Zhenguo Gongfu Niu Jizong and Uncle Liu Fangliu of Liguo Gongfu are also capable generals and have the intention to serve the country. The Supreme Emperor has also been interested in him for a long time. Why should my uncles insist on staying in the country? This is not the country. The blessing is not the blessing of the imperial court." Feng Ziying said leisurely.

Wang Ziteng felt a chill in his heart. He stared at the thirteen-year-old young man in front of him and remained silent for a long time.

Niu Jizong was formerly the Commander-in-Chief of the Former Military Governor's Mansion, and Liu Fang also served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion. The two of them are now very friendly in front of the Supreme Emperor, and they have already been very fond of their long-term position as the Imperial Military Governor of the Beijing Camp. He was jealous, especially after he became the right minister of the Ministry of War.

Wang Ziteng has also heard the dissatisfaction of some people, thinking that he cares about himself but never considers others. Originally, the emperor intended to appease the old ministers of the former Supreme Emperor, but he blocked it with all his strength.

The Wuxun Group is not monolithic. Standing in this position, Wang Ziteng will naturally have to bear criticism and complaints from all aspects, and he must strive for more benefits for himself. This is understandable.

 The key is how to balance the pros and cons, and the Emperor is still watching.

 “Ziying, your Uncle Niu and Uncle Liu may not have this intention...”

"Your Majesty, you have been idle for a long time and you are more energetic. My nephew feels that Uncle Niu and Uncle Liu may be like my father, old men who are willing to serve the country." Feng Ziying smiled softly.

He knew what Wang Ziteng was worried about. If he took off his robe and gave up his throne, where would he go? What would the Supreme Emperor think?

To the military people, the right minister of the Ministry of War is just a false title. It is not your turn as a martial artist to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of War. This is the ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His prince has no place to go. Is it possible that he is as idle as the two Niu Liu? At home, I'm afraid this will be unacceptable to Wang Ziteng again.

"My nephew heard that the mountain chief also said that the imperial court intends to follow the example of the previous Ming Dynasty and strengthen the defense of the nine borders. The governor of the nine border military affairs may..."

 Wang Ziteng was shocked again, did he actually know about this?

But then I thought about it, it became more and more obvious that Qi Yongtai would come out, and it is estimated that he will make another move after the year. It is rumored that Qi Yongtai may be appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there are also rumors that he may be appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of household affairs to take charge of the affairs of the household ministry. , but it is certain that this person will be of great use no matter what.

“The governor-general’s military affairs are the responsibility of civil servants,...” Prince Teng said leisurely.

"What the prince said is wrong. It is just an old practice from the Ming Dynasty. My nephew heard that the mountain chief said that the governor's military affairs still require those who are skilled in military affairs. He does not limit himself to civil and military affairs, but puts national affairs first."

Qi Yongtai indeed mentioned this to Feng Ziying years ago. Qi Yongtai is not the kind of person who sticks to the past. Except that the power to mobilize troops in the Ministry of War must be controlled by civil servants, he does not object to the appointment of generals as governor of military affairs. It is originally a temporary position. , it can be half a year, it can be three years, it is completely decided by the court according to the situation.

As soon as Wang Ziteng heard this, he knew that it was a foregone conclusion that Qi Yongtai would be appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Such a major matter, especially involving the adjustment of the official system, would be impossible without the support of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

In this case, Wang Ziteng's thoughts became vivid. If he could withdraw from the extremely prestigious position of Jiedu Envoy in the Beijing Camp and let one of the two Niu Liu take over, it would not only resolve the dissatisfaction from the two Niu Liu, but also the Supreme Emperor's Bian also had an explanation. As for who would succeed Niu Liu and the other two, it would be none of his business.

Moreover, Wang Ziteng knew better that Niu Liu and the others had been neglecting military affairs for a long time and were accustomed to making false claims. They were not familiar with the three major camps in Beijing. I am afraid that the emperor would be happy to see this situation.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng also felt a little sad. He had worked hard to run the Beijing camp for many years, but now he had become the source of disaster. It would be a wise move to hand over this position now.

“Ziying, I heard from your uncle Zhengshi that you have been to Rongguo Mansion to teach Baoyu recently?” Wang Ziteng changed the topic and asked about personal matters.

"I have been there twice. Uncle Zheng Shi hopes that his nephew can teach Baoyu a lesson or two. However, Brother Bao is indeed talented in reading. Uncle Zheng Shi also intends to reopen the clan school after the year, so that Baoyu can study well in the clan school first. In two years, I will be able to study in an academy." Feng Ziying was determined.

Wang Ziteng was moved, and it also showed that Wang Ziteng also wanted to avoid disaster, at least to avoid the most dangerous part of the whirlpool. Feng Ziying's expression suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Well, Baoyu is talented and intelligent. If he can calm down and study, he may not be able to read. It's just that your aunt is too arrogant and indulges Baoyu. I have specifically told her not to interfere too much in Baoyu's study. The Jia family will not have a scholar to support its appearance. , How can we gain a foothold in the capital in the future?" Prince Teng sighed as he stroked his beard.

"Uncle, don't worry. In my nephew's opinion, as long as Baoyu is willing to concentrate on studying, Jinshi dare not say it, but a scholar cannot escape." At this time, he could say good things as much as he could, and Feng Ziying certainly did not hesitate to flatter him.

“I hope so.” Wang Ziteng’s expression also improved, and he took a deep look at Feng Ziying, “Brother Keng, are you sure about next autumn?”

"My uncle's words made my nephew sincerely frightened. My nephew has little knowledge in classics and has only been in the academy for less than half a year. How can he compare with other academy students? My uncle should not think highly of my nephew after hearing some external rumors. In fact, they are just some Spreading falsehoods with falsehoods.”

Feng Ziying shook his head repeatedly. He would never dare to boast about such things. There were so many accidental factors in autumn and spring that it was hard to say. Bragging at this time would only bring humiliation to oneself.

"Oh, don't be in a hurry for this subject. You will only be fourteen next year. If you can win the seventeenth grade in three years, it will be considered rare." Feeling a little more relieved, Wang Ziteng nodded, "Ziying, forget it. Considering your age, you are almost there, has your family ever made an engagement for you?"

Feng Ziying immediately became vigilant and said after a brief pause: "I haven't considered this matter yet. My nephew has also told his father and mother that he only wants to study seriously in the past two years and will not consider other matters. Everything will have to wait until next autumn. Let’s talk about it later.”

Wang Ziteng thought about it. The other party was currently focused on studying, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Qingtan Academy. He would only be fourteen years old next year. It was the right time to discuss marriage. It was a pity that he had no legitimate daughter and was the only concubine. The girl has already been married.

After some words, Feng Ziying vaguely mentioned the matter of building the mausoleum, but Wang Ziteng directly interrupted and stopped him. With an impatient look on his face, he bluntly said that there was no need to mention such matters. Feng Ziying immediately understood and stopped talking.

Then Prince Teng served tea, and Feng Ziying naturally stood up and left.

 After Feng Ziying left, Wang Ziteng locked himself in the study alone and thought carefully about today's conversation with Feng Ziying.

Although the other party is young, various information revealed today shows that this person can no longer be treated as a simple person.

 The first is that this son can already be the head of the Feng family. In fact, Wang Ziteng has already expected this. How can he be just an idle person if he can achieve such a great reputation?

 Such young and mature prodigies are not uncommon in all dynasties, and Feng Ziying can probably be counted as one of them.

 The second thing is that Feng Ziying should be regarded as Qi Yongtai's disciple.

This point is very important, because he dared to reveal what Qi Yongtai said to himself, which shows that this son is not only highly regarded by Qi Yongtai, but also can assist Qi Yongtai in analyzing and judging court affairs, and even makes some decisions.

Even Wang Ziteng is a little envious of being able to do this. Who is Qi Yongtai? Even if he wants to be his staff, it is not something ordinary people can do, but Feng Ziying can actually get such favor from Qi Yongtai.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng made another calculation. If what Feng Ziying said is true, then it is indeed an opportunity to patrol the nine borders. He can control the border troops but stay far away from the capital city. It seems that it can be explained to them. In the past, it all depended on what each person thought.

Thoughts were mixed, and it took a while for Wang Ziteng to gather his thoughts. However, Feng Ziying was indeed a talented person. If he could make good friends, he could also establish a line with Qi Yongtai's representative, Shilin Wenchen.

After thinking about it, Wang Ziteng felt a little regretful. If Jia Tanchun was born to his sister, everyone would be happy. But it is a pity that Yuan Chun has already entered the palace as a female historian. Otherwise, even if the age difference is three or four years, it won't matter. Make this marriage happen.

To marry a concubine into the Feng family, Wang Ziteng felt that the Feng family would not agree and would even consider it a humiliation. He suddenly remembered that he had a younger sister, and didn’t he also have a legitimate daughter? Wang Ziteng's mind became alive again.

Although the Xue family is in some decline now, it is still one of the four major families in Jinling, and its ancestors were also Ziwei family members. The only thing to worry about is that the Xue family has become an imperial merchant. This is not a good thing for the Wuxun family. Although the influence is not great, for the scholar-officials, it is taboo for those who pay attention to family tradition.

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng felt a headache. Everything was a little unsatisfactory, but it was not without a chance. If Feng Ziying failed to win next autumn, that would be an opportunity.

In addition, Wang Ziteng also heard that the legitimate daughter of his sister who married into the Xue family was not only smart and lovely, but also very sensible, ten times better than her brother. If the Feng family understood this situation, they might have a little more hope.

Of course, Feng Ziying didn't know that she was still being plotted by Wang Ziteng. Even Xue Baochai, who had not yet entered Beijing, had already been plotted.

He returned home and was still trying to figure out Wang Ziteng's thoughts. This person was also a character with complicated thoughts, and he still had to understand his interests and strengthen his mind.

Finally, he thought for a long time in his study and wrote down, "Where there are flowers and willows in the dense place, the only way is to open them; when the wind is fierce and the rain is heavy, only by standing firm can you find your feet."

The next day, this calligraphy was sent to the palace. Feng Ziying said in her post that she was grateful to the prince for reminding her, so she came to the realization, so she specially asked Mi Wanzhong, a calligrapher in the capital, to write it and send it to the palace.

Mi Wanzhong is a descendant of Mi Fu in the former Song Dynasty. He is the leading calligrapher in the capital. He is known as the "Northern Mi Nan Dong". He is also the current head of the household department. Naturally, it is rare for others to obtain his calligraphy treasures.

After receiving this calligraphy, Wang Ziteng pondered for a long time in his study, and then he treasured it and hid it in his collection room.

The competition for monthly tickets is fierce. Please give me some monthly tickets, brothers!
