Chapter 543: T-shaped curly willow and bright flowers

  Chapter 543 T-shaped scroll

   The conversation was very happy, and King Zhongshun felt more and more pleasing to the eyes of this person in front of him, no wonder the emperor admired him so much.

Not only is he clear in thinking and broad in vision, what's more rare is that he is so young but so sophisticated, well-informed, able to quickly understand what you want, and then come up with a solution. Such a talent is like many gangsters in the court. Ten years of officials have not had this ability.

  So when Feng Ziying finally brought up the matter of Dinghui Temple, King Zhongshun didn't even bother to ask, so he directly arranged for the housekeeper to investigate, and took advantage of this opportunity to gossip.

   There was a reply in less than half an hour. Indeed, an old nun brought a woman with hair to practice practice in Dinghui Nunnery, and they just arrived these two days.

   "I didn't expect Ziying to be a gentleman who takes pity on beauties." King Zhongshun joked: "Even monks are not spared."

  Feng Ziying cursed inwardly, this fellow really regards himself and him as the same kind of people.

It is said that besides the concubine, there are close to twenty concubines and concubines. This is not counting the unnamed concubines, and there are seventeen or eight children in total. Just the estimated cost of marrying a woman They can bother people so much, it's no wonder that they are so concerned about making a living that even places like Mingyue Tower dare to openly open it up.

"My lord misunderstood." Feng Ziying thought for a while, and then said slowly: "This woman is originally the concubine daughter of Lord Lin, the salt censor of Lianghuai. Only a young age can guarantee a lifetime of peace, so I have lived in a temple since I was a child, so I followed my master to Beijing, but Mr. Lin is seriously ill, I am afraid it will be difficult to endure it for a long time,..."

"To tell you the truth, the emperor Long En posthumously named Ziying's uncle Hulun Hou, and allowed Ziying to be married at the same time. My father was very grateful. The Feng family has three families, and the eldest and second families have no extinct heirs, and Ziying is the only one in the third house." , my father is very worried about this, now that the emperor rewards the Marquis and Jianxie, it also solves my father's biggest heart problem,..."

  King Zhongshun nodded slightly. Of course he knew about it. Emperor Yonglong had asked him about it at the time, but he never thought that the Feng family would be so grateful for a false title of Marquis.

  But after thinking about it, it is true, like the Feng family, which has one family and three houses, but two houses have no heirs. I am afraid that continuing the incense is the most pressing issue of the Feng family, so Feng Tang is so grateful for the posthumous Marquis and Jianxie.

  Especially Jianyou is equivalent to continuing the incense of Feng's family for it. As long as Jianyou's wife gives birth to a son, it will be done. For Feng Tang, that is a big deal.

   "Well, Ziying, the emperor's grace, you only need to be loyal to the king and serve the country, not to mention that the emperor is very optimistic about you..." King Zhongshun nodded.

   "So Master Qiao discussed with my father and hired Shen's daughter as the eldest house, and Ziying and Lin Gong's daughter are quite destined, so he intends to hire Lin Gong's daughter,..." Feng Ziying said calmly.

King Zhongshun must also know about Lin Ruhai's special identity. He didn't expect Feng Ziying to marry Lin Ruhai's first daughter. "Has the emperor ever known about this?"

   "I have reported it to the emperor a long time ago." Feng Ziying pretended not to understand the meaning, "I also told the emperor that if Yinzhuang should be built in Yangzhou, the best place is Yangzhou, and the emperor agrees."

   King Zhongshun's heart moved. He was a little surprised before, but now he understands.

  Even Brother Huang has taken a fancy to the resources held by Lin Ruhai. The Yinzhuang was built in Yangzhou, and it is clear that these rich salt merchants will join in.

  But since Feng Ziying thinks that this Yinzhuang is an excellent business that can make a profit without losing money, why should such a good job be handed over to these salt merchants who have nothing but money?

"Well, since that's the case, you, the son-in-law-to-be, want to take Lin Gong's daughter back to see Lin Gong for the last time?" King Zhongshun thought he had guessed right, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Ziying to be so good at people. This girl from the Lin family is very much in line with Ziying's intentions."

  Feng Ziying didn't explain too much, "My lord, my fair lady, you are a gentleman."

King Zhongshun laughed loudly, "Ziying, I didn't expect you to like this mouthful. Well, I understand, I understand. When you are so young, you are also suave and extraordinary. Hey, decades have passed ,..."

"My lord is laughing at me." Feng Ziying glanced at the other party, and suddenly had an idea, "Ziying certainly likes the girl from the Lin family, but she also has other people in her heart, which makes Ziying in a dilemma. Do you know if the lord has taught me?"

"Huh?" King Zhongshun didn't expect that Feng Ziying would hit a snake with a stick, and he said casually that the other party could take the opportunity to ask him for a solution, but after thinking about it, he knew that this person might have other ideas. What kind of thinking is right, "Why, since there are fish and bear's paws, then take it as a concubine. Could it be that Ziying is worried about the Lion's Roar in the River East?"

"That's not true, it's just that I don't have enough status. She is also a lady, so she can't be a concubine. Your lord, you said that the emperor conferred the title of my uncle and allowed me to concubine. What about my second uncle? My second uncle is Serving the imperial court conscientiously, and died in the position of the commander-in-chief of Datong, even if the imperial court can't confer a duke, wouldn't it be reluctant to even have a false title of general?"

   Seeing Feng Ziying so out of touch, his words were even more eager, and King Zhongshun was also overjoyed.

"Ziying, you are like this at such a young age. Be careful of your own bones. Why, you still plan to ask the emperor to reward you again, and also reward your second uncle? You want to marry another? I'm afraid it won't work, your uncle." The death of Hulun Sai in battle was to save the emperor and the orphan, but your second uncle was not so lucky, he fell ill and died, which is normal in the imperial court, if this has to be sealed, it will be difficult to convince the public."

   "My lord, that's different. The three members of my Feng family are proud of defending Datong Town. For decades, my uncle and my father have guarded northern Xinjiang for the imperial court for many years. There is no credit but hard work."

  Feng Ziying will not give up easily.

"Besides, my uncle has guarded the frontier for many years, but in the end he became extinct. Isn't that unreasonable? Our family doesn't seek any high-ranking officials and generous salary, but only a vain title that is nothing more than a little effort for the court. In the future, we can continue the incense. How difficult is this request for the court so that people can worship in the ancestral hall in the future?"

  This is a bit heavy, but it is also true.

  Extinction is difficult for many people to accept. What people are looking for is actually an opportunity to continue the family life. Of course, for Feng Ziying, it may be an opportunity to marry another wife.

Smiling and shaking his head, King Zhongshun pointed his finger: "Ziying, you, well, what you say is not without reason, but the court also has its own rules and regulations. The emperor has a heart to give you a gift, and you can indeed find a reason, but at least you You have to take credit for making the emperor feel that it is unjustifiable not to give you a gift, if there are such conditions, it is okay to beat the side drums for you in front of the emperor alone."

  Feng Ziying was overjoyed.

   What he wants is this promise.

  Prince Zhongshun has a special status. He can speak casually in front of Emperor Yonglong, but he cannot take the initiative to ask for gifts for his second uncle, and he can also express his wishes to Emperor Yonglong through Prince Zhongshun.

  Well, even exposing some of his "shortcomings" to Emperor Yonglong, in a sense, can make Emperor Yonglong feel more at ease.

But he still pretended to be disappointed on the surface, "My lord, isn't Ziying's utter loyalty not enough to satisfy the emperor and the lord? Well, after all, she is doing things for the emperor and the court. Ziying has no complaints, but the lord But remember your promise, . . . "

King Zhongshun laughed loudly, "The emperor and the court will never treat meritorious ministers badly, not to mention Ziying, you are very popular now, and the emperor must rely on and expect a lot from you. As for Gu here, don't worry about Ziying. I dare not say what I say, but I can be regarded as a gentleman who is hard to follow, but Gu is very curious, which lady makes Ziying so forgetful?"

  Feng Ziying laughed, "My lord, I can't just leak this out. I'm not sure yet, and people may not be willing to accept it, so I have to prepare a complete plan."

  King Zhongshun shook his head. This guy seemed to be a little bit irritated in this aspect. It shouldn't be like this based on his conditions, but he didn't ask.

  With the approval of King Zhongshun, Dinghui Temple was not a problem. Wu Yaoqing and the others quickly found Yuan Shitai and Miaoyu and his party.

  Obviously, they didn't expect that Dinghui Temple, which was under the protection of King Zhongshun, would not be able to stop these people. Shitai Liaoyuan and Miaoyu were a little nervous.

"Master, what is the origin of this group of people? Even Princess Zhongshun is not afraid?" The girl was dressed in light blue black clothes, her round eyes showed a bit of coldness, and her jet-black hair was **** with a plain belt, adding a bit of coquettishness. Pretty, with a touch of softness and beauty between her brows and eyes, which is even more fascinating. Even if she doesn't apply makeup, she can't hide her soul-catching beauty, but Yuan Shitai can't help but shake her head secretly.

There is no bodhi tree, and the bright mirror is not a stand. They all think that the place outside the square is the pure land, and they can cut off everything, but they are not people outside the square. Otherwise, it's meaningless.

"Miaoyu, in fact, you also understand who they are, but the master also doesn't understand why they have come all the way to the capital city. Master Lin has never had such a threat before, as long as he shows his unwillingness If you don't want to, you won't force it, why are you so recalcitrant this time?" Liao Yuan was also a little puzzled.

  The black-clothed woman showed a look of worry, "Master, I don't want to see them."

Master Liao Yuan shook her head, "If you can't avoid them when they come to you, why bother? This capital city is also under the foot of the emperor, so they will not act excessively. If there is anything, Miaoyu, you may as well tell it frankly. .”
