Chapter 2582 Gui Zi Juan dredging, wide invitation

“It will take a few years to make arrangements, but I am still unwilling to do so. I can do more things in Beijing.” Feng Ziying said with emotion.

"Okay, I have written down everything you said. Although I am not sure where I will go next, as long as I am in the court, I will pay attention to what you mentioned. And don't you Maybe you just told me these situations, Qi Xiang is the most important."

Chai Ke reminded.

"I definitely can't escape Master Qi. He asked me to write something to him during this period, and I should think it over carefully before giving it to him. In addition, I plan to submit one to Master Guan, Duke Liu Ji and Duke Ming Qi. I hope Can get their support." Feng Ziying pondered and said: "I estimate that you and Master Qiao will most likely consider the three positions of the Ministry of Personnel, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Husbandry, but you may become the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry. The **** is greater, and Gao Panlong may return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After all, Master Qiao has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for too long and has changed his position."

Zhang Jingqiu was about to come down. Feng Ziying from Gao Panlong's side found out that Gu Bingqian didn't like Gao Panlong either. In the next step, as the second assistant, Gu Bingqian might be in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. He definitely didn't want to see Gao Panlong, a minister with a stubborn personality and strong points. We are not on good terms with him, so it is better to make arrangements in advance. It is very likely that Gao Panlong will be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chai Ke will be sent to the Ministry of Husbandry, and Qiao Yingjia will be sent to the Ministry of Personnel.

Chai Ke shook his head slightly: "With his high-ranking character, if he is asked to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he would rather go down to the countryside and go back to teach."

"Has the Metropolitan Procuratorate humiliated him? He is on an equal footing with the Minister of Civil Affairs. Why is he dissatisfied?" Feng Ziying disagreed.

"That's not the case. Gao Panlong has an upright and upright personality. In fact, he is not suitable for the Ministry of Personnel, but more suitable for the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But if he was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the first place, he has no objection. Now he has to be moved from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If he goes to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he will definitely feel that this is a demotion, and with his temperament, he will definitely submit his resignation and return to his hometown."

Chai Ke sees this very clearly, but if the cabinet is decided, he won't change his mind just because you, Gao Panlong, feel aggrieved and want to resign. Let's see what happens.

"If this is really the case, I can only say that I am sorry. If I were the chief assistant, I would not retain him." Feng Ziying did not have a good impression of Gao Panlong.

This scholar-leader who talks more than does practical things has a great reputation in Jiangnan. He has also run schools, written books, and has many disciples. However, he is pragmatic and says that he cannot do things well. Feng Ziying believes that he has not been able to achieve success in the past few years in the Ministry of Officials. A few decent things, but Chai Ke, as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, undertook a lot of practical work.

Chai Ke glanced at Feng Ziying and asked, "Do you have such a bad impression of him?"

"I have a bad impression of people who advocate empty talk and writing. What the Zhou Dynasty needs now is people who actually do things, rather than people who talk all day long or write books. If the Zhou Dynasty is prosperous in the future, it may be more We need people like this, but it’s not like you, who can write books and talk with your words, can turn the fields into food, turn the refugees’ stomachs into hugs, make an extra furnace of molten iron come out of the workshop, or make Nurhaci surrender?”

Feng Ziying made no secret of her likes and dislikes, "It is more suitable for Mr. Gao to return to his hometown to preach and learn karma and resolve doubts. Maybe this is also his wish? Why not satisfy him?"

Chai Ke didn't dare to think that Feng Ziying said it casually. If he really went to Qi Yongtai, Gu Bingqian and Guan Yingzhen to talk like this, it might actually become a reality.

Now Feng Ziying is no longer Wu Xia Ameng, and the influence of her words has become more and more powerful. Needless to say, Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen. The key is that even Gu Bingqian, the second generation leader of the Jiangnan scholars, is extremely friendly to him. This is what puzzles many people the most.

Especially after Jiangnan and his party, the relationship between Gu and Feng heated up rapidly, which also attracted people's attention.

Of course Feng Ziying is willing to make good friends with Gu Bingqian. Due to age and physical reasons, Qi Shi may only be the chief assistant for three to five years, and Gu Bingqian has just turned fifty, and will only be fifty-five in five years. He can work for five or even ten years. It is very possible to be the first and second auxiliary.

Furthermore, in his previous life, Gu Bingqian was a weak-tempered person who was more willing to compromise when faced with powerful colleagues or bosses. Feng Ziying liked to work with such a character the most.

"Ziying, Gao Gong has a great reputation in Jiangnan. Don't say your comments to outsiders at will, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Chai Ke reminded.

"Brother Zishu, don't worry. I know what's appropriate. I'm just expressing my point of view to you." Feng Ziying said calmly: "I don't agree with some of the principles of Daofu Gong's actions, but at least Daofu Gong can still do things. , the necessary respect still needs to be given, but it is indeed difficult for me to give respect to those who do nothing."

In the next few days, Feng Ziying concentrated on writing these suggestions in her study, and at the same time began to visit people from all walks of life.

In addition to the mentioned Gu Bingqian, Guan Yingzhen, and Huang Ruliang, Feng Ziying, several important figures among the northern scholars such as Qiao Yingjia, Cui Jingrong, Han Xu, Sun Juxiang, Wang Yongguang, and Bi Ziyan, also visited one by one.

 Following him were important scholars from Huguang such as Yang He, Yang Lian, Guo Zhengyu, Qi Shijiao, etc. He also visited the house one by one.

During this period, he also made a special trip back to Qingtan Academy and stayed in the academy for a day, chatting happily with the students in the academy.

Especially, he presented the poem "If you live or die for the benefit of the country, why should you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?" he gave it to all the students in the academy, which also won the cheers and admiration of the students in the academy.

Of course, the more important thing during this period is to discuss with the Ministry of War to bring the Nine-Border Army to Liaodong for a round of battles. The Jianzhou Jurchens will not be able to stop and digest what they have gained in the battle between Tielingwei and Shenyang, and they will continue to flow. Exhaust their blood until they are completely defeated.

“What, Wen Ruo, you also want to go to Liaodong?” Feng Ziying was not surprised that Yang Sichang came to find her.

Zheng Chongjian took the initiative to apply to go to Liaodong as soon as he returned to the Ministry of War as a Yuanwailang. His plan was huge. He had obviously made an agreement with Feng Ziying, and Yang Sichang certainly liked it.

You must know that when you started, you and Zheng Chongjian were not on the same level. You were the top pick, while Zheng Chongjian was not even a commoner. But now, with his achievements in several battles and local service, Zheng Chongjian has been regarded by the Ministry of War as capable of doing things. After returning, he was on an equal footing with himself as Yuanwailang.

Yang Sichang was worried that if things continued like this, he would be in trouble when Zheng Chongjian came back from Liaodong. And now the place where he could make meritorious service in the Ministry of War was Liaodong, so of course he wanted to go.

Moreover, he thinks that his relationship with Feng Ziying is not bad, and he never thinks that Zheng Chongjian will be better than him in terms of ability, so this time he also wants to go to Liaodong and compete with Zheng Chongjian to see who can compete in this round. Win.

"Now that the war in the North is gradually coming to an end, I'm afraid Master Sun won't be able to use us anymore. I don't think the Mongols can really have much impact on us. The only chance is in Liaodong. The imperial court has asked you to take charge of your own affairs. You got Zhang involved, why can't you give me a chance?"

Yang Sichang is still a little arrogant. Even now that Feng Ziying has reached the second rank of officialdom, he still maintains the same attitude as before in his tone.

However, Feng Ziying was very willing to do this. Yang Sichang was also considered a second-generation official and had some abilities. It was certainly a good thing that he was willing to go to Liaodong to help him, and it could also bring him closer to the scholars in Huguang.

 It turned out that I had also considered him, but I was worried that the other party was not willing and not as familiar as Zheng Chongjian, so I called Zheng Chongjian. But now that Yang Sichang is willing to go, of course he welcomes it.

"Haha, Wen Ruo, if you are willing to go, of course I will be happy to ask for it, but I remind you that this is not a matter of one or two years. It may be normal for three to five years. Don't complain and want to come back then, but It's up to us." Feng Ziying's attitude was very casual and indifferent.

"The bitter cold in Liaodong may be able to survive for a year and a half, but after a long time, the feeling will be enough. And my goal is also very clear, which is to completely eradicate the Jurchen threat in Jianzhou. Maybe you also know that during this period, I and I have had many contacts with the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War. In addition, I have also received some promises from merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi and Jiangnan. They will fully support my ideas in Liaodong, including construction and war, in order to completely eradicate the Jurchens in Jianzhou. To make them disappear completely, I have initially set a five-year limit for them to achieve war potential..."

Yang Sichang was frightened by one sentence, "Five years, Ziying, are you sure you want to stay in Liaodong for five years?"

“Well, if the war goes well, it won’t take that long, but these things are difficult to say in themselves. Five years may not be enough if the war goes badly. We can never underestimate the Nurhaci generation of heroes, so you have to think carefully...”

Feng Ziying's eyes fell on Yang Sichang's face, indifferently but also a bit provocative, seeming to provoke him.

Yang Sichang snorted softly and gritted his teeth: "Five years is just five years. You, the censor of Youdu, are willing to go for five years. Why don't I, a Yuanwailang, dare not take a chance? This is also a major event that will go down in history. Others You may not be able to earn this opportunity, Liaodong, I’ll book it!”

"Okay, since you have this ambition, I will take it for granted. It is estimated that I will set off in twenty days. There are still some things to prepare here. If you decide, just come over and help me. This battle in Liaodong is In an overall war, it would cost us too much to rely solely on military confrontation. Moreover, if we capture Liaodong, we must build Liaodong into our northeastern fortress. Otherwise, if we destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens, some wild Jurchens may emerge and try to destroy them. The roots of Liaodong are firmly rooted in our Zhou Dynasty..."

Seeing that Feng Ziying was so ambitious and even confident, Yang Sichang became a little more enthusiastic and said, "Okay, then let's make a deal. I will come over tomorrow. If you have anything to do, just ask."
