Chapter 2493 The Gui Zi Juan is more ambitious and everyone is looking forward to it

Wang Ren left angrily. What shocked him even more was that Wang Xifeng actually went to his second uncle Wang Ziteng's house.

When I insinuated that Wang Xifeng was now living as a concubine for others, or even giving birth to children, I didn't expect that my second uncle would ignore her at all.

Later on, he simply turned his back and kicked himself out, leaving him alone to talk to Wang Xifeng.

This simply puzzled him. Could it be that Wang Xifeng earned some money from business and made his second uncle jealous?

"What do you think?" Wang Ziteng leaned back in his chair calmly and asked, "Feng Ziying is so generous. The cement business is the lifeblood of businessmen in Shanxi and Shaanxi."

"I don't know about this, but I feel like he doesn't care too much about it. If the Feng family really wants to do it, how can it be the Shanshan businessmen's turn to take the majority?" Wang Xifeng was also very casual, "Although he is young, he is also It’s true that I like women, but outsiders can’t guess what I’m thinking.”

"I can't figure it out. He persuaded Niu Jizong and I to surrender voluntarily and return to our fields, but he also urged us to stay in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army for the time being. It seems that there is some deep meaning in it. You gave birth to all his sons for him. Forget it. He must be the eldest son of their Feng family, right?" Wang Ziteng had obviously done some research, "Don't you think you can guess his thoughts?"

"Second uncle, who am I? If I give birth to a son, I will keep it for myself, so I can't get married again, right?" Wang Xifeng said indifferently, "As for him advising the second uncle and uncle Niu to do this, naturally he also The second uncle should have some vague understanding of the truth, otherwise he wouldn’t be so cooperative with him, right?”

Wang Ziteng nodded slightly. He said that his niece was a little clever. It seemed true. She had a good way of figuring out people's thoughts.

Even now he is not sure what Feng Ziying wants, but one thing is certain, that is, Feng Ziying is extremely ambitious and is definitely not satisfied with just being the youngest third-rank minister in the Zhou Dynasty.

 He has a deeper thought.

Logically speaking, Feng Ziying's goal should be to become the chief minister of the cabinet. He is only twenty-four now, which means that based on his current amazing performance, there is a high probability that he will wait for the position of minister before the age of thirty.

 No matter how other civil servants in the cabinet and the court find his age and resume to be an eyesore, it is the most basic rule of the court that meritorious deeds must be rewarded, otherwise no one will work hard for the court.

Moreover, it is impossible for the court to fool around with some imperial orders and honorary officers, or make some small mistakes to compensate for it, like this time.

Even if this was a tacit agreement reached by Feng Ziying voluntarily with the court, it would not work. It would be impossible for the court master to make such a matter public and let all scholars and civil servants know about it. This would also damage the prestige of the court.

 At the age of thirty, he becomes the minister, and at the age of forty, he becomes a cabinet minister or even the chief minister.

 Wizi Teng never doubted that Feng Ziying could do this.

No matter who is the emperor, they cannot stop Feng Ziying from becoming the first assistant.

But is this in the interests of the Feng family?

The Feng family was from a noble family with military honors in the border area.

The martial arts in border areas are also martial arts, and the foundation of martial arts is the army.

For example, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes were also born in martial arts, but the reason why they declined and were abandoned by the court was because they lost touch with their roots over several generations and no longer had any influence in the army.

 Those who are useless naturally don’t need to pay more attention or think about it. They can clean it up when it’s time to clean it up. Especially if they don’t know the current affairs, they can just use it as a stepping stone.

If Feng Ziying is determined to follow the path of a civil servant, it will be no problem to become the first assistant in ten or twenty years, but what if she becomes the first assistant?

 The first assistant is nothing more than the ultimate civil servant, but the rule for civil servants is to serve through the imperial examination.

No one can guarantee that their children and grandchildren will be good enough to study. Once they fail in the imperial examination, the Feng family may quickly decline from a famous family. Especially since the Feng family is not a prestigious scholarly family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy.

 It is impossible for Feng Ziying not to consider such a situation.

 In a sense, if the Feng family wants to safeguard their own interests, they should continue to follow the original path of the Feng family, such as Li Chengliang and Ma Gui to maintain their influence in the border towns.

Even though both Li Chengliang and Ma Gui have retired to serve in the military, the Li family and the Ma family still have considerable influence in the military. Their children can start at a high position and gain more opportunities and a higher platform when they enter the military. In the future, they will also Have a development advantage over others.

If Feng Ziying does not choose this path, then it can only mean that Feng Ziying has greater ambitions.

Wizi Teng judged that the latter was more likely. In other words, Feng Ziying disdained the path of Li Chengliang and Ma Gui, and he would not be satisfied with being the first assistant, so what else could he do?

 The next level up from the chief assistant is the chief assistant with greater power - the powerful minister. It is self-evident what is above the powerful minister.

Wizi Teng has not yet thought that Feng Ziying has higher ambitions, but he thinks that Feng Ziying may covet the status of a powerful minister.

Feng Ziying herself was a martial artist from the border areas, and the Feng family already had considerable influence in the military. If Feng Ziying could successfully cultivate enough influence and supporters in the civilian court, and then gain enough support in the military, then The prototype of a powerful minister is already there.

  The more important thing is that Feng Ziying has enough time and energy.

When other people can become Feng Ziying's current third-rank minister, they must be at least forty years old. Even if they spend one or twenty years working hard, in the end the impact of age and physical condition will cause most people to give up halfway. .

 But Feng Ziying is different, he is only twenty-four years old!

Even if he has spent twenty years slowly and steadily laying the groundwork, he is still in his forties, in his prime and in the prime of life. Who can stop him?

It was precisely because of this thought that Wang Ziteng was very interested and did not refuse Feng Ziying's hints and arrangements.

Of course, Wang Ziteng was not satisfied with quitting the stage of power in such a dejected manner. He was only in his early fifties and in good health. He asked whether Lian Po could still earn a living at an old age. He only asked when he was seventy. He thought he would not be able to work for another ten years. Question, Niu Jizong thought the same way.

Although the Feng family has great influence in border towns, it is mainly concentrated in the four northwest towns and Datong, Xuanfu, Shanxi, Jizhen and even Jingying and Denglai. Wang Ziteng thinks that he and Niu Jizong have more confidence. Otherwise, Feng Ziying would not win over her.

Even now in Xuanfu Town, Jingying and Denglai Town, Wang Ziteng has the confidence to recruit a group of people, and Niu Jizong also has a considerable foundation in Xuanfu Town, Shanxi Town and Ji Town.

Now Wang Ziteng wants to think carefully about what path Feng Ziying plans to take, and what roles he and Niu Jizong can play in it.

The greater Feng Ziying's ambition, the more willing he is to help Feng Ziying, which means that he can play a greater role. He is already this age, what else is there to be afraid of? I'm afraid he's not ambitious enough.

However, although Feng Ziying is young, her city is not shallow.

Wang Xifeng can only be regarded as his concubine. This girl is indeed a bit coquettish and slutty. It may be this that attracted Feng Ziying, so they hooked up with her.

Wang Ziteng didn't think that he could find out some of Feng Ziying's thoughts from Wang Xifeng. If Wang Xifeng couldn't hide the secrets here, then Wang Ziteng would have to worry.

However, Feng Ziying and Wang Xifeng have a son, and I heard that Xue Baochai is also pregnant. The two women are considered close relatives, and their relationship with the Feng family is tied by blood ties, which is of course a good thing.

"Sister Feng, since you have followed him and have a son, then just run your current business well. What will happen to the child if he doesn't say anything?"

After making up his mind, Wang Ziteng settled down. Feng Ziying would come to meet him during dinner anyway.

"What can I say?" Although she knew everything, Wang Xifeng was still a little uncomfortable, "Can I take it back to the Feng family? Sister Qiao will get married sooner or later, so I have to leave a child to take care of me in old age, right? With my status, It is impossible to enter the Feng Mansion, I am quite satisfied as it is now."

Xue Baochai is his cousin, and he has always been very close to Daiyu. However, he secretly had an affair with their husbands and gave birth to a child. He didn't think it was a big deal.

It's hard for Wang Ziteng to intervene in this kind of thing, and he doesn't even know what's the best way to do it, so it's best not to ask too much or in depth.

"It doesn't matter, if you take good care of this child, maybe you won't have a lot of luck in the future?" Wang Zitengruo said profoundly, "Feng Ziying is not a creature in the pond. It seems that way now, but there may be more surprises in the future. What’s the future that people look forward to?”

Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed, and she didn't quite understand the meaning of her second uncle's words. She seemed to have something to say, but she didn't dare to think deeply.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng seemed to have some understanding, Wang Ziteng waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much. I can't even see Ziying clearly. I still have to try to understand him. Some people say he is a tiger father with no dog son. He must be treated like a tiger." I think that Feng Tang was able to give birth to such a son, which is the blessing that the Feng family has cultivated for several lifetimes. If he dares to call Feng Ziying a tiger, then Feng Ziying will probably be a dragon..."

These words are even more sensitive. Even a woman like Wang Xifeng understands what the dragon refers to, and subconsciously murmurs: "Second uncle, you are talking too much about him..."

"Let's not talk about this topic anymore. Ziying is coming over for dinner. You can rest here and meet your aunt and the others. Then you will also meet during the dinner. He has a lot of things to do right now, so don't bother him too much. ..." Prince Teng paused and seemed to have something to say.

Wang Ziteng’s words made Wang Xifeng’s face feel like it was on fire.

However, Wang Ziteng didn't care. Firstly, he was an elder, and secondly, Feng Ziying was indeed too important. "It's not a shame. You gave birth to your children for her, and you are still less than thirty. He is so good at everything between men and women." , it is inevitable to be greedy,..."

Wang Xifeng's thin silver teeth almost broke into pieces, so she could only lower her head, but she couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed in her heart.

 Second uncle has become so cautious and nagging now. It seems that Ziying is far better in his mind than his own niece.
