Chapter 244: The word "Y" is clearly distinguishable

Chapter 244: Volume B is clearly distinguished

Feng Ziying still has to pay special respect to this person.

On the one hand, he is now a real second-grade official, and he controls the strongest army in the capital city. Although it is not easy to mobilize as a general, he is the top leader of this armed force after all.

On the other hand, it is also because my father is relatively familiar with the Niu family of Zhenguo, the Chen family of Qi State, and the Hou family of Xiuguo among the Eight Dukes, and even the Jia family of Ningrong's second master is slightly less familiar. It is just because of his own It became familiar because of it.

 “My nephew has met Niu Shibo.” Feng Ziying gave another big gift.

"Well, I have given birth to a good son since the Tang Dynasty. Studying is a good thing, but don't imitate the virtues of those civil servants who are arrogant and sweet. We, the descendants of Wu Xun, still have to have a bit of the masculine and heroic spirit of warriors. ,…”

Niu Jizong never concealed his dissatisfaction and contempt for civil servants. Feng Ziying also knew that after Wang Ziteng took office as the governor of Xuanda, he resigned from the right minister of the Ministry of War, and the right minister of the Ministry of War was replaced by Shi Chai Ke, the former Zuoqiandu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and became the assistant minister. Military camp and military affairs.

Chai Ke was not a simple person. He had always been loyal and strong-willed. He began to perform his duties as soon as he took office. He began to intervene in the actual affairs of the Beijing camp as the right minister of the Ministry of War, which made Niu Jizong extremely dissatisfied.

However, the use of culture to control military affairs was a national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unless military operations were needed, the emperor would use the Ministry of War to grant the talisman and issue an order to authorize the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp to control the power of deploying troops in wartime. Daily business affairs were mainly handled by this person. The right minister of the Ministry of War, who was in charge of the military affairs of the military camp, was in charge, but the general who was the military commander of the Beijing camp could not interfere.

Prince Teng was able to break the convention by serving as the military governor of the capital and the right minister of the Ministry of War. During that period of time, it could be said that the entire capital city was decided by him, so this special case could only be a short-term transition, otherwise the emperor would really Can't sleep anymore.

Although Niu Jizong had only taken over as the governor of the Beijing camp for more than a year, he had already been at loggerheads with Chai Ke. He had several quarrels with the emperor and the emperor over military affairs. Each time, they always fought 50 times, and it remained the same. , and now the tit-for-tat confrontation in the Beijing camp is getting more and more intense.

The heads of the Chen family of Duke of Qi and the Hou family of Xiu Guo were also present today, as were Chen Ruiwen, the hereditary third-rank Weizhen general of the Chen family, and Hou Xiaokang, the hereditary first-class son of the Hou family.

 …

"Zi Ying, you are familiar with this one. Jiang Chengshou of the Jiang family of Pingyuan Marquis. His father is the hereditary second-class male Lord Jiang..." The person who came was a young man, in his early twenties, also wearing a white robe. If Liu Xianglian hadn't contrasted In the past, this one was really elegant and distinguished, but with Liu Xianglian as a comparison, he seemed a bit rough.

"I have met Brother Jiang Shibo. Jiang Shibo is the commander of Tengxiang Zuowei. I met him last month..." Feng Ziying noticed that more and more people were arriving. Some of them, although they were not coming in person, were basically dispatched by the head of the family. The legitimate son came to show his respect, which made him feel even more puzzled.

The key point is that these people all have more or less positions, and their weight is not light.

Like this one, Jiang Chengshou, the legitimate son of the Pingyuan Marquis Jiang family, and his father Jiang Zining served as the commander of the Tengxiang left guard in the Four Guards Army. The Four Guards Army is an armed force independent of the Beijing camp, or in other words, the left guard. The guard force is directly under the control of the Royal Horse Supervisor and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

The father of Xie Pengfei, the former Marquis of Dingcheng from the Xie family, was Xie Jing, a hereditary second-class male, who was also the guerrilla general of the fifth military camp, with 3,000 city garrison troops in his hands; and Qiu Liang, the head of the Qiu family of Jingtian Marquis, was The commander of the South City Military and Horse Division in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division also holds great power.

The head of the Qi family of Xiangyang Hou Qi, Qi Jianhui, is a hereditary second-class male. He is the commander of the Warrior Battalion. He is also directly under the jurisdiction of the Royal Horse Supervisor and does not belong to the Ministry of War.

These martial nobles who belong to the Twelve Marquis or other than the Twelve Marquis are the real backbone figures who currently control the military power of the capital. It can be seen that these people have a sworn relationship with Wang Ziteng. I wonder if Wang Ziteng dares to let go of the capital. The support of the Yingjiedushi?

 Feng Ziying has been observing all this calmly.

He believed that Wang Ziteng must have had a special purpose in creating such a great momentum, and it was not as simple as just congratulating himself for winning the championship.

Feng Ziying is not arrogant to this extent. Although it is gratifying to be elected, it is not enough to make a second-grade official like Wang Ziteng so aggressive.

Moreover, it can be seen from these people visiting that this is not a simple matter of perfunctory, or not coming, but those who come are at least the eldest son of the family, who can be regarded as representing the family. No matter what today's meal is, At least they have enough attitude.

Of course, there are still many people who haven't come. For example, Nan'an County Prince Xiao Junyuan and Beijing County Prince Shuirong didn't come. They just asked people to send congratulatory gifts. The same is true for Li Guogong Liu's family, Xiu Guogong Shi's family, Zhiguo Gongma's family, Chuanning Many martial arts families such as Hou Yue's family, Shoushan Bohe's family, Jingtian Houjing's family, etc. just asked someone to send a gift.

When Chen Jingxuan, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, and Zhang Jin, the deputy chief of the Qianhu, and Zhao Wenzhao, the deputy Qianhu, arrived, there was a chill in the entire guest banquet.

Obviously this is not a guest invited by Wang Ziteng, but if he comes, he will give you face. But when they saw Feng Ziying approaching with a smile, Wang Ziteng, Mu Tan, Niu Jizong and others subconsciously exchanged views. A look.

This is actually a guest invited by the Feng family Dalang himself? !

Chen Jingxuan is the commander-in-chief of Jizhen and a veteran general, but he is different from most of the people here. Although he comes from a family of military generals, his ancestors were former Ming generals. He later joined the Great Zhou Dynasty and was reused. They are completely different from the ministers of Conglong who fought against Taizu from the beginning.

However, the Chen family has been loyal and loyal since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty and has been highly valued by the court. After the Shandong Civil War, Chen Jingxuan was transferred to the chief military officer of Jizhen because of his contribution to quelling the rebellion, which was considered a big promotion.

As for Zhang Jin and Zhao Wenzhao, it goes without saying that they are the people of Long Jinwei. Although his official position is low, Long Jinwei has never been judged by his position, but by his errand. A person with a total of hundreds of households can still make your second-grade officials obey you at a critical moment.

However, Long Jinwei can be considered a military position in terms of civil and military career, so this invitation is not unexpected.

 Chen Jingxuan obviously did not realize that this celebration was of such a large scale, and his color changed slightly after seeing these guests.

 Obviously he was also aware of the origins of these guests.

But he didn’t pay too much attention.

The Feng family is a Wuxun family, but he is not. He came here because of Feng Ziying's face.

Moreover, he also knew that Feng Ziying had a close relationship with Qiao Yingjia, the current right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. At the same time, she went to Qingtan Academy where Qi Yongtai, the current left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was once the head of the mountain. She was regarded as the successor of Qi Yongtai, and was related to The civil service community has a close relationship, and now it is even more popular.

It can be said that this son's future is unlimited. If we don't get the relationship right now, when will we wait?

 Besides, if someone formally invites you, it is also a sign of respect and respect for you. This is a good opportunity that you can’t wait for, so how can you not come?

After seeing Zhang Jin and Zhao Wenzhao appear, Chen Jingxuan felt more confident. He had long known that the Feng family's political acumen was not bad. Look, even Zhang Jin and Zhao Wenzhao were invited. Above all, this is a friendship that was fought off by the Shandong Civil War, but in a sense, this might not be a sign of another level.

Wang Ziteng realized that he still underestimated this "nephew" of the Feng family. He didn't have any civil servants or classmates. He came completely according to his own intentions, but he also inserted a few "outsiders". Well, they are both warriors, but they are not from the same group.

If civil servants were invited, it would undoubtedly make this celebration banquet awkward. Feng Ziying did not do this. It took good care of the face of these people, but there were "outsiders" in the same system. This thought Even Wang Ziteng had to admit that it was very deliberate.

 …

"Everyone, today is a great day for Feng Keng, the great man from the Tang Dynasty, to win the imperial examination in Shuntian Qiuwei. Since the Tang Dynasty, he has been serving the country in Yulin. It is my duty as an uncle to shoulder this burden. We are here. Most of them are descendants who followed Taizu to conquer the country, and there are also friends who have gone through battles with Dalang..., today we are here to raise a glass to congratulate..."

 …

"I really didn't expect that the Feng family would still be so powerful and prosperous now. I thought that the Feng family had already declined and lost its power. I didn't expect that even Lord Wang and Lord Niu would come. Well, that one is still Prince Mu... "Zhao Wenzhao felt that he had made a mistake. He was not invited this time, but he happened to return to Beijing from Shandong on business. When he invited Zhang Jin, he learned that he was back, so he would not miss it.

“Well, Wen Zhao, it’s hard to say how many people here are here to sincerely congratulate Feng Juren for winning the imperial examination. It’s really rare for Mr. Wang to be so enthusiastic and active. Haha, it’s not easy.”

Zhang Jin chuckled while quietly observing these martial artists who rarely met together.

He has now returned to Beizhen Fusi where he served as Long Jinwei, and he can also be regarded as a direct confidant of Lu Song, so his view of the problem is naturally different, and he naturally knows things better than Zhao Wenzhao, a subordinate who has been in Shandong for a long time. Much more.

At the same time, he also knew that Zhao Wenzhao and Feng Ziying had always been in contact. Even some of the Feng family's businesses in Shandong were connected through Zhao Wenzhao, and Zhao Wenzhao did not hide it from him.

For military attaches, Long Jinwei is not too taboo, but for civil servants, Long Jinwei is still more willing to maintain a relatively good relationship, or stay at a distance. After all, the promotion of senior officials in Long Jinwei still requires people. Through the military selection of the Ministry of War, the degree of unity of the civil service group with the outside world is not comparable to that of the military attachés.
