Chapter 2695 The change of the Kui character scroll, pushing the boat along the way

  Li Guibao was specially arranged by Feng Ziying to go to Long Jinwei.

  Zhang Jin's unexpected betrayal made Feng Ziying wary.

  He no longer believes in the superficial and simple friendship of the past.

  Any friendship may fade and fail in terms of stakes.

  Perhaps this is a principle that every superior has to face, and even actively practice.

  Although He Zhisheng is still credible in theory, as a side branch of the martial arts, and he was single-handedly promoted, it is reasonable to say that his loyalty is safe, but he is still worried.

  That's why Feng Ziyi and Li Guibao Jinlong Jinwei served as Tongzhi and Qianshi, and were in charge of Beizhen Fusi and Nanzhen Fusi respectively.

  Feng Ziying knew that this would definitely irritate He Zhisheng, but he had no choice.

   Now it seems that choosing Li Guibao to go is still correct. No matter whether He Zhisheng "intentionally" or "unintentionally" ignored Gu Bingqian's connection with the royal family, it is unforgivable.

  Although he is only in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, Li Guibao, as the commander of the Long Jinwei, is not limited to the scope of duties of the Nanzhen Fusi, but also extends his tentacles to the entire Long Jinwei.

   Just like Feng Ziyi also has his own staff in Nanzhen Fusi.

  Facing this situation, Feng Ziying is happy to see it succeed.

   There may be a restraining effect, but it can guarantee the control of this force to the greatest extent.

  Long Jinwei is no better than the three-parent army divided into three groups. Its intelligence spying and surveillance capabilities are irreplaceable by other departments, so there is no room for loss.

   Now its role is revealed.

   Unexpectedly, Gu Bingqian would want to replace Emperor Wantong.

   Fortunately, Gu Bingqian is not stupid enough to re-support Emperor Wantong to take actions against the cabinet, but just wants to change a new emperor to strengthen and consolidate his own power.

   But Zhang Hua, the second son of Emperor Wantong, was chosen.

   Did not choose the sons of Emperor Yonglong, nor did he choose Zhang Liu, the eldest son of Emperor Wantong, nor did he know how Gu Bingqian made such a choice.

  In addition, Gu Bingqian never thought about it. Without his own support, even if he is the chief assistant, it would be unrealistic to change the emperor, right?

   Or is he sure that he will acquiesce or even support him in doing so?

  Feng Ziying was a little confused.

  But he knew that maybe Gu Bingqian was driven to a corner and had no choice.

  For more than a year, although Master Qi has been lingering on the sick bed, his influence is there.

   It was he who supported Gu Bingqian as the chief assistant, and he would not allow anyone to reverse this arrangement.

  So before his influence completely faded, neither Guan Yingzhen nor Huang Ruliang could do anything too outrageous, at most they would just fight with Gu Bingqian inside the cabinet.

  Feng Ziying is actually not very optimistic about Gu Bingqian being the chief assistant, but since he has been appointed, even if Gu Bingqian's performance is indeed not good, he does not advocate an immediate replacement.

  Every cabinet change will lead to turmoil in the court. For Feng Ziying, this will delay and affect many things, and it will take a lot of energy to spend on personnel.

   It’s been two years. If you bear with it, one term may be over.

   What's more, Gu Bingqian's weakness is also a good thing for him. He can be like a fish in water among the princes and maximize his benefits.

  He was always worried that Huang Ruliang might lift the table, but Huang Ruliang boiled the frogs in warm water, forcing Gu Bingqian to lift the table.

  Reshuffle the cabinet? Clear Huang Ruliang out?

  But is Huang Ruliang so easy to get rid of?

With the support of Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, and the support of Jiangnan gentry, even Guan Yingzhen maintained a relatively tacit cooperation with Huang Ruliang. of.

Huang Ruliang's personality is somewhat stubborn, and his style is also somewhat radical. In addition, he and Gu Bingqian are both from Jiangnan gentry, and Huang Ruliang relies on the support of Ye Fang and most of the Jiangnan gentry to faintly suppress Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant. I am afraid this is the most difficult for Gu Bingqian to accept. that's it.

  Feng Ziying felt that Gu Bingqian could even accept Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia, but just couldn't tolerate Huang Ruliang.

   But why should Emperor Yi be involved?

  Emperor Wantong has become a dead dog, shrank in the palace and dare not make a sound, what is the point of changing him?

   This also made Feng Ziying a little puzzled.

  Feng Ziying has carefully considered that Gu Bingqian may need the support of the emperor to strengthen the legitimacy of his current cabinet and even his position as chief assistant, which is especially prominent after the death of Master Qi.

But both Guan and Huang wanted to replace him, and Qiao Yingjia didn't support him either. Only he supported him, but it was difficult for him to win the support of all the northern scholars because of his age and qualifications. Perhaps it was under this psychological consideration that Gu Bingqian Aroused the thought of Emperor Yi and the cabinet adjustment.

  Is Emperor Ke Yi so simple?

  How to achieve it?

Emperor Wantong himself would not be supported by the princes in the court, so after Yi Chu, maybe Gu Bingqian will persuade Emperor Wantong to abdicate directly and hand over the throne to Zhang Hua. In this way, Gu Bingqian's authority will be strengthened, and Huang Ruliang will be eliminated. becomes possible.

  But Gu Bingqian definitely needs to add another scholar to replace Huang Ruliang, otherwise it will be difficult for the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to accept.

   There must be a fierce game here, but the context has basically come out.

As for why Zhang Ji, the eldest son of Emperor Wantong, was not allowed to be the crown prince, Feng Ziying was also thinking about it. This may be because the cabinet firmly opposed Emperor Wantong to make his own son the crown prince, but now he accepts it. That is to slap himself in the face. So it's okay to change someone.

  Of course, to Emperor Wantong, as long as his son succeeds to the throne, whether he is the son or not is not so important.

  Combined with her own thinking, Feng Ziying also inquired about Li Guitang's related news carefully, and it was pretty close.

   "I don't know much about Zhang Hua's situation, Gui Bao, tell me about his situation." Feng Ziying rubbed her chin and asked in a deep voice.

   "The emperor has four sons, the eldest son and the second son are all born by the empress, the third son and the fourth son are born by other imperial concubines, the second son Zhang Hua is the same mother and brother of the eldest son Zhang Liu, who is three years younger than the eldest son,..."

Li Guitang is obviously also prepared, "Compared with the prince, Zhang Hua is much more low-key, and has a more peaceful personality. He doesn't like to meddle in government affairs. His biggest hobby is carpentry equipment. He usually designs and makes all kinds of equipment in the mansion. Craftsmanship objects, it is said that the carriage he designed improved the erection mode between the wheels of the carriage, introduced multiple springs, which greatly improved the comfort,..."

  Feng Ziying was quite surprised.

  He had already mentioned this matter with the Gyeonggi Coal, Iron and Military Industry Association, that is, the improvement of springs used in carriages, but he also didn't know how to optimize it.

  Later, I heard that the Gyeonggi Coal, Iron and Military Industry Consortium finally produced a suitable spring, which was finally designed and added to the carriage, and the current improved carriage was produced. I did not expect it to be related to the second son of Emperor Wantong.

   "Zhang Hua actually has such abilities?" Feng Ziying couldn't help asking.

   "It seems to be true. My subordinates have also verified it with the Gyeonggi Coal, Iron and Military Industrial Complex. They confirmed it, and it is said that they have applied for a patent because of it..."

  Li Guitang nodded.

   "Well, let's not talk about this matter, does Zhang Hua have other performances?"

"I don't have any other hobbies. I only married one wife. I just love and obsess with this handmade design and production, and I spend a lot on it. It is said that the mansion is full of various wooden and iron instruments. Delve into this,..."

  Feng Ziying's heart brightened, no wonder Gu Bingqian would choose this Zhang Hua, it seems that he is indeed a very suitable candidate for the emperor.

   On this point, Gu Bingqian has the same thoughts as himself.

   "Well, I see." Feng Ziying nodded.

If Gu Bingqian really intends to ask for easy storage on this issue and push Wantong Emperor to abdicate, then he will definitely come to him for advice at the right time, but it is estimated that Gu Bingqian will only do so after he has a certain degree of confidence, but it seems to him And it doesn't hurt.

Huang Ruliang, who is becoming more and more powerful, does not do him much good. Similarly, the increase in Guan Yingzhen's power is also not good for him. If Gu Bingqian can expel Huang Ruliang from the cabinet and re-enter the cabinet, it is not a bad thing. At least his own power Can be further enhanced.

   It's just that Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia have to make a deal with Gu Bingqian, and what will Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia think about this matter of changing emperor and storage?

   Sit and watch? Or step in?

  Feng Ziying is still deliberating, but some work must be done.

   Or help Gu Bingqian to slowly build momentum in public opinion?

  Feng Ziying needs to discuss with someone.

   Now it is not his business alone, there is also a big group behind him.

   Last October, that is, October of the sixth year of Wantong, ushered in a large number of personnel adjustments.

Zheng Chongjian was appointed as the governor of Shuntianfu, while Fu Shi was promoted to You Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He Fengsheng resigned from the prefect of Xuzhou and was transferred to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and Regulations. Fan Jingwen was transferred to the Ministry of Households. Wang Yingxiong served as magistrate of Baoan Prefecture, Fang Youdu was transferred to Tongzhi of Datong Prefecture, Song Shixiang served as magistrate of Jiangning County, Xu Qixun took over as magistrate of Xianghe County, and Sun Chuanting stayed in the Ministry of War as the head of the Ministry of War.

   This also marks that the group of Jinshi in the fifth year of Yonglong, after more than ten years of experience, has finally begun to become a new force in the political circle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Jinshi of the first subject in the eighth year of Yonglong have also begun to enter the stage of strength.

Now Beijing has gradually formed a group with Feng Ziying as the core leader, practicing state affairs as Feng Ziying's deputy, and Geng Ruqi, Pan Ruzhen, Fu Shi, He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen, Sun Chuanting and other people who stayed in the court as the backbone group, and the relationship is growing. Closer, the concept and goal become clearer, and the cohesion becomes stronger.

It is not an exaggeration to say that forming a party is not an exaggeration, but Feng Ziying believes that this kind of "party" is not a political party in the modern sense. It can only be regarded as a small group that has initially shared ideas and ideas. Far.
