Chapter 540: T-shaped confrontation, King Zhongshun

Chapter 540: Confrontation with T-shaped rolls, King Zhongshun

Seeing Feng Ziying's expression uncertain, Wu Yaoqing didn't know what his future boss was thinking.

It is indeed difficult to deal with Prince Zhongshun. He is a brother of the emperor and is extremely favored. This boss is also said to be quite favored by the emperor and can be used for great purposes. If Prince Zhongshun is displeased because of this and his impression on the emperor is affected, then it will be a big deal. Some of the gains outweigh the losses.

Little did he know that Feng Ziying was thinking that if Miaoyu married him, how many people would fall into his trap in the main and supplementary volumes of the Twelve Hairpins in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions"? Devil's claw?

When Baoyu knows this, will he think that this is the real cry of beauty and sorrow?

 Oh, bah! Why do you say that if you follow me, you will be sad or cry?

 Following yourself is the only way to escape, but following Baoyu and others who have no worries is a life of no hope.

It seems that I am not that "dissolute and unethical", right?

Apart from Bao Dai, the only two sisters who are now confirmed to be in his house are Xiang Ling and Jin Chua'er and Yu Chua'er. Well, of course, if Bao Dai marries into Feng's house, then Zicuckoo and Ying'er probably won't be able to escape either. .

 But what about the others?

There is no need to think about the four springs and Yuan Chun in the official book. If you really want to wear a hat to Emperor Yonglong, then I guess you have to be like Cao Cao and Sima Yi.

 With Jia She's son probably not willing to let his daughter marry him as his concubine, there's no need to say anything.

Tanchun, in fact, this is what Feng Ziying is very excited about, but under such circumstances, it is even more difficult.

Xichun has a deep impression. She has pink makeup, light temperament, and impressive aura. She is somewhat different from the one described in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", but the age gap is so big that Feng Ziying never thought about it.

Who else? Shi Xiangyun, I do appreciate her temperament, but I guess she is destined to be just a friend.

 Sister Feng? Well, this is a matter of desire but lack of etiquette.

Others, such as Li Wan and Qiao Jie, I don’t know who thought of including them in the main book of Twelve Hairpins. They are obviously inappropriate.

 But for the remaining Miaoyu and Qin Keqing, does Miaoyu really want to marry herself along with Daiyu? Thinking about it, I think this kind of thing is a bit outrageous.

As for Qin Keqing, Feng Ziying felt that this woman might be a time bomb and it was best to stay away from her, so he rarely even went to Ning Guo Mansion.

Feng Ziying couldn't remember exactly who else was in the sub-registers and sub-registers, but characters like Qingwen, Yuanyang, and Ping'er seemed to have nothing to do with him. However, the You sisters seemed to be in his hands, but he didn't. Still maintaining the "gentlemanly style".

All of this just flashed through Feng Ziying's mind. He quickly put away such ridiculous thoughts and focused on what was in front of him.

"Dinghui'an, I'm going to negotiate with Prince Zhongshun. You have to nail Dinghui'an's side. Don't miss it." Feng Ziying finally nodded, "How can you do such a great job in the capital city where you are not familiar with the place? It’s not easy, um, let me ask, this girl Miaoyu is actually practicing in Panxiang Temple in Suzhou?”

Wu Yaoqing was a little surprised, but he didn't know what he was looking for to find this Miaoyu girl. He only knew that after he found it, it would be best to persuade her to **** her back to Yangzhou and Huaidu to transfer the salt envoy Si Yamen. If he couldn't do that, let her contact the Yamen. This one.

“Sir, according to Brother Wenyan, he should have been practicing at Panxiang Temple in Suzhou, and he followed his master to the capital at the end of last year.”

"Well, I understand, Yao Qing, thank you for your hard work on this matter. After this matter is over, I will go to Yangzhou soon. Then we will have a drink and have a good time." Feng Ziying's eyes were a little more satisfied.

Wu Yaoqing was also happy.

It seems that the future owner is quite satisfied with the performance of his team. At the same time, he also knows from Wang Wenyan that the future owner has great ambitions. I am afraid that in the future, everyone's work will not be limited to Nanzhi. It may gradually extend to Shandong and the capital city, because Shandong is said to be the hometown of the Feng family, and there are also many connections in Shandong, not to mention the capital city.

 After sending Wu Yaoqing away, Feng Ziying could calm down and think about the matter.

Auntie came to herself in the evening. Feng Ziying also told Wan Qian to ask his aunt to help persuade her old lady in it, but this matter must be allowed to eat a peace of mind.

Daiyu cannot come back, and it will be difficult to satisfy my mother when she comes back, so Miaoyu, who is three or four years older than Daiyu, is the best target.

If you can make Miaoyu fall in my mother's eyes and make me feel that Miaoyu has a physique that is fertile, then she won't be too harsh on Daiyu, and the marriage will basically be done.

It happened that Wu Yaoqing and the others came to the door. It seemed that this was God's help. As for Prince Zhongshun, a message happened to be sent over there. Although he was not sure what it was about, he couldn't escape those things. Son, when the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, we can take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

 “Ziying has met the prince.”

"Haha, no gift, no gift, Ziying, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The middle-aged man smiled, and a pair of slender eyes suddenly appeared on his fair cheeks, but the smile at the corner of his mouth also proved that he I was in a great mood at this time.

This Prince Zhongshun and Emperor Yonglong do have very similar looks. They are worthy of being a compatriot. However, Emperor Yonglong's cheekbones are taller and his eyebrows are more pronounced, making him look deeper, while this one looks brighter.

"We said goodbye at the Enrong Banquet. The prince's style remains the same. Ziying is just a commoner. How dare he disturb the prince so easily?" Feng Ziying also responded with a smile.

With such a good posture, I naturally have to be discerning. No one dislikes the person who is carrying the person in the sedan chair and saying nice things.

"Haha, you are a common man, but you are stirring up trouble in the world." King Zhongshun's words were full of praise and expectation, "It's just a matter of suppressing the rebellion in Western Xinjiang. A tiger father has no dog son. You are the one who is planning to open up the sea." Both the emperor brother and Gu were shocked. It was rare for me to see the emperor brother behave like this. How many times have you been summoned by the emperor brother alone? Well, Huang Zunsu and Yang Sichang, the number one scholar in your subject, practice state affairs, and are ranked second in the top prize. But I haven’t even been summoned by the Emperor’s brother alone, that’s the difference.”

"Your Majesty, you are too complimentary. The strategy of opening up the sea was not thought by Ziying alone. Mr. Chai, the right minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of the three sides, was the initiator. However, Ziying had already thought about some ideas about opening up the sea, so he asked Mr. Chai The suggestion was also approved by Chai Gong, and thanks to the guidance of Chai Gong and Yang Heyang, Ziying was able to make such a suggestion to the court and the emperor."

 Feng Ziying naturally brought Chai Ke and Yang He in.

Chai Ke will soon return to Beijing to serve as the left minister of the Ministry of War. It is difficult to say whether the governors of the three sides will step down from their posts, but there are already rumors that the governors of the three sides may be handed over to his father.

Because there are precedents for military generals like Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong to serve as governors, it is not new for his father to be promoted from the general of the army to the governor. Moreover, the status of the governors of the three sides is far less than the key positions of Governor Xuanda and Governor Jiliao. Therefore, the acceptance of the civil servants of the imperial court was much greater.

"Ziying, there is no need to explain this. The emperor brother and Gu Xing know it well." King Zhongshun's slender eyes always have a sense of scrutiny when looking at people, but Feng Ziying can feel the friendly attitude of the other party towards him.

 This also made him feel more and more that it was probably related to the opening of the sea, either Denglai building a naval fleet and monopolizing the trade routes to southern Liaoning, Japan and North Korea, or the bank matter.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Ziying paid a visit to Your Majesty today. She also hopes that Your Majesty can give more advice to Ziying in the future. Ziying is young and doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. If there is anything that is not considered carefully, it would be better to ask Your Majesty to mention it. point."

 King Zhongshun nodded slightly. He was indeed a good disciple taught by Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen. He was well-behaved and impeccable. The key was that he had a very upright attitude and came to the door proactively. He also gave himself enough face in his words.

In the past, among the civil servants who were ranked second and third in the rankings, would any of them look down upon their relatives in the royal family? Every one of them has his eyes set higher than his head, wishing he could show his integrity by showing contempt for the Tian family clan members.

This also made Prince Zhongshun more optimistic about his son. No wonder the emperor's brother was full of praise for his son.

"Ziying, you are too polite. You are a civil servant, and I am a member of the clan. According to the Zhou Dynasty's practice, I cannot interfere with government affairs. How can I give you some advice? Qi Gong and Qiao Gong, one is the elder of the pavilion, and the other is the left. Deputy Capital Censor, by the way, the official will also serve as the right minister of household affairs, right? Your masters are all civil servants and great scholars, and they are also the pillars of the country. You should ask them for more advice."

Although he liked what Feng Ziying said very much, King Zhongshun still understood the rules of court affairs and did not dare to overstep his words.

"What the prince said is true, but the prince has a good reputation in the court, and he is also the head of the clan. From the perspective of the clan, Ziying thinks that no one can say anything to the emperor."

Feng Ziying sneered in her heart, who doesn’t know that you are the other eye and hand of Emperor Yonglong?

Emperor Yonglong mainly relied on this person to deal with Prince Yizhong. Otherwise, if he competed with Prince Yizhong in the name of the emperor, it would be easy to give someone a handle.

Twisted his beard and smiled, King Zhongshun seemed to be in a good mood, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Of course, Feng Ziying would not make the other party trust her just because she just said a few words. The reason why Emperor Yonglong relied on him for help was probably more about his own ability than his identity.

"Ziying, I heard about your trip to the south of the Yangtze River. I was very moved by what I saw and heard. Yesterday I went into the palace and talked to the emperor about the affairs of the south of the Yangtze River and Liaodong. The emperor was very worried and restless. I also heard the rumors in the court. The shipping trade from Liaodong to Denglai and even to North Korea and Japan will be reopened, and it will even be in the hands of our great Zhou Dynasty. I wonder if there is any strategy?"

After much exchange of words, King Zhongshun has determined that although the man in front of him is young, he should not be insulted. Moreover, he has the backing of Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen. In addition, he is now related to Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong. There is no interest involved, so there is no need to hide it. He also believes that the other party is a smart person and understands his intentions.
