Chapter 246 The second scroll burns the stove? (To make up for yesterday's update!)

  There is always a banquet in the world.

  The guests finally gradually dispersed.

  Feng Ziying was exhausted, but she was not at all happy in her heart.

  He realized that he had still been fooled by Wang Ziteng. This fellow was definitely not as simple as congratulating himself for winning the election, but had his own intentions.

   At least it wasn't purely for his own sake, but his reputation was all carried by himself.

  He felt that Wang Ziteng made such a big move on purpose, well, it was like a temptation, a win, and more like a declaration.

   But Feng Ziying is not sure what to test, the purpose of soliciting, what to declare, and to whom to declare.

But this action is aimed at several people, such as the Supreme Emperor, Prince Yizhong, and the Emperor, um, even those in this group who are swaying at both ends, and may even be Including people from these aspects.

   Fortunately, I realized something, so I made some arrangements, otherwise I would really become a tool man for nothing.

  Wang Ziteng has already changed his mind, or has some ambitions.

   This is Feng Ziying's judgment, but it's just a dissenting ambition, but it should still be in an embryonic state. He wants to grasp something more.

  Jingdushi of the Beijing Camp did not do it for nothing in the past few years. He did win over some people. Well, to be precise, those who came today were only part of the Wu Xun group. He was deliberately sending out some signals.

   Of course, his ambition does not mean that he wants to rebel, but that he wants to have more capital and gain more benefits in future games.

   Really give it a go, turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.

This person is not the kind of abrupt and reckless person, so his movements are still very steady, at least you can't see the clues now, and even brings a feeling to any aspect, um, that is, he may have been preparing to invest in me. On one side, but due to various factors, I need to keep a low profile, but you can trust me, I have always been on your side.

   I have to say that it is not easy to play this play well. It is more like walking a tightrope. If you don’t pay attention, you will be ungrateful at both ends, and you will end up playing yourself.

   Until all the guests were sent away, only Zhang Jin and Zhao Wenzhao were left.

   "Ziying, take care of yourself. In my opinion, you have a great future with no limit. You will definitely have a place in the court hall. There is no need to get involved in these things."

   Before leaving, Zhang Jin still gave a piece of advice.

   Zhang Jin's words still touched Feng Ziying a little, but he didn't expect that the most reliable person was from Long Jinwei.

   This reminds me of what Liu Xianglian said, often the ones you think are the most reliable are actually the ones that are the cruelest to you.

  Zhang Jin's advice undoubtedly shows something, and it should be sincere.

  In his opinion, since Feng Ziying has made it clear that he wants to take the path of civil service, there is no need to get too involved with these martial nobles, but he doesn't know his own ideas and ambitions, so Feng Ziying can only follow his heart.

  However, today's banquet was not without gain. At least Feng Ziying saw some clues about Wang Ziteng, and at the same time, he could also have a deeper understanding of the weight of this martial arts group on the chessboard of Da Zhou.

  Emperor Yonglong did not dare to act rashly, and it was not for nothing that the Supreme Emperor relied on him. Just look at the group of Wu Xun's children who came here and you will know a thing or two, all over the capital city.

From the Five Army Battalion, the Shenshu Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion among the three major battalions of the Beijing Battalion, to the Siwei Battalion and the Warrior Battalion as the permanent guards, there is also a standard-bearer guard force directly led by the royal family, as well as the daily guards. All the security forces in the five cities were infiltrated by these families and their children.

  The force of the Banner Guards evolved from the abolition of the top twenty-two guards in the previous Ming Dynasty, and the one in charge of the Banner Guards was Zhang Yi, Prince Zhongshun.

Although over the years, the imperial court has also consciously transferred the frontier military generals to these ministries, and at the same time stepped up efforts to abolish and replace them, but this cannot be completed overnight after all, and the feelings of these military heroes must also be taken into account. So for now, these Wuxun families still occupy a dominant position in the armed forces in the capital city.

But Feng Ziying also saw one point. In fact, among the so-called four kings, eight princes and twelve princes, the decline of the four kings and eight princes is becoming more and more obvious. It is glorious, but it is hard to do much inside.

Bagong is the most obvious. Except for the Zhenguo Gongniu family and Liguogong Liu's family who occupy a place in the Beijing Camp and the Four Guards Camp, the other six are basically not popular. At most, some children can enter. Now It doesn't seem like there's anything outstanding about it.

On the contrary, the Twelve Marquis, those low-ranking uncles, and some miscellaneous generals, such as the Wuxun family like the Feng family, occupy the backbone of the major armed forces in the capital city, and there are even people like Wang Ziteng, Feng Tang, etc. Such an outstanding person directly jumped out of the circle of the capital and let him be an official.

Originally, in Feng Ziying's view, since Wang Ziteng jumped out of the circle of the capital city like his father, he should live outside to avoid disasters. I didn't expect this guy to jump out to play this one again. Now it seems that this guy should still be Some bigger ideas.

   It cannot be said that the other party made a wrong choice.

The Wang family and the Feng family are not the same. The Feng family was originally a marginalized or individualized role in the Wu Xun Group. It had left the circle of the capital decades ago and worked hard outside. Although it still has the imprint of Wu Xun, but As long as you resolutely don't participate, you should still be able to avoid this disaster.

  But the Wang family is different.

  Wang Ziteng had been the military envoy of the Beijing camp for a long time, and quite a few of his subordinates still looked after him, and the children of the Wang family were still inextricably linked with these people, so it was not so easy to get rid of them all at once.

   What's more, I'm afraid that Wang Ziteng himself is not willing to be out of the game like this lightly, wealth and wealth are in danger, and he seems to have seen some clues, so he inevitably has some thoughts.

  Since Wang Ziteng showed his "strength" so generously, Feng Ziying would naturally not be "polite".

As the only one in the entire martial arts group who has been released as the chief military officer, and he is in his prime, and he has embarked on the road of civil servants in the imperial examination, it can be said that the prosperity of the Feng family is just around the corner, and naturally there are people who are willing Come and make friends with the stove, even if the Feng family is no longer a cold stove.

  But after all, my father is still outside, and I am still just a juren who has not been elected as an official, and I am only in the stage of gaining momentum. For many people, investing in cooking stoves is also profitable.

  After all the guests had dispersed, Feng Ziying returned to her mother's room, only to see her mother and aunts counting the gifts from these guests and registering them one by one.

   These relationships must be kept in mind. In the future, if a aunt or a wife is sick for a birthday party, they will have to walk around to repay the favor.

  Of course, this time Feng Ziying's congratulatory banquet was a bit special, and Wang Ziteng was there to help build momentum, so the situation must be slightly different.

  Seeing Feng Ziying coming in, Duan's face eased a little, "Brother Keng, something seems wrong today,..."

   "Oh? Why is it wrong?" Feng Ziying's heart moved.

"Although some people give gifts that are a bit heavy, they are within the acceptable range. After all, these people are always on the move, but some people, um, even some people didn't come, and they didn't have any dealings before, but gave them away. It's a very heavy gift, so mother and your aunts are a little bit uncertain."

  Xiao Duan also interjected: "These things shouldn't be something you should worry about, but my sister and we both feel that I'm afraid we should let you decide."

Sitting down, Xiao Duan has already handed over two rosters, "This one is for the guests who came, this one is for the guests who didn't come, um, the last one is for the guests who were not invited but gave Lilly. "

  Feng Ziying first looked at the guests who came.

  First, it was a gift from Dongping County King Mu Tan, a red sandalwood statue of Wenchang Xingjun, old objects, and two hundred taels of gold. This is a somewhat heavy gift, and Feng Ziying couldn't help frowning.

  Two hundred taels of gold is equivalent to two thousand and four hundred taels of silver based on the current exchange rate of about 12 to 12. If you buy shares and add an old red sandalwood object, the total value is at least five or six thousand taels.

"Mother, auntie, our family is supposed to have little friendship with the king of Dongping County, so why did we give such a heavy gift? Have we ever been to their house when they were doing business?" This first one was so grand that Feng Ziying felt a little uncomfortable. I had some mental preparations, but even the king of Dongping County is so respectful, which is unreasonable. The king of Dongping County has nothing to do with the Feng family.

Soon a servant girl sent over an old register, and Aunt Xie began to search for it, and found: "In the thirty-fourth year of Yuanxi, the mother of the king of Dongping County died, and the mansion sent a golden Buddha, worth about two About a thousand taels of silver."

The death of the princess' mother is a major event, even more important than my own. After all, I am only the son of the head of the family, and maybe I will have to marry a wife, and even give birth to a son. These series of matters have to be considered Come in.

  Based on the relationship between the Feng family and the King of Dongping County, when his mother passed away, it was quite respectful to give three thousand taels of silver. If Feng Ziying understood it, a gift of around one thousand taels of silver would be appropriate.

That is to say, according to common sense of management, if the king of Dongping County wants to return the gift, even if he accepts Wang Ziteng's favor, the gift should not exceed two thousand taels, but this is not only exceeded, but also greatly exceeded. This made the members of the Feng family restless.

Seeing the eyes of her mother and aunts looking over, Feng Ziying was equally unsure. It seemed that she had to write a letter to her father to find out what kind of relationship the King of Dongping had with her family. If there was no special relationship, Then there is a problem.

   Ask for a few tickets.
