Chapter 60 Volume A is complicated and gradually

"Father, this matter is all decided by me alone and has nothing to do with Uncle You. Uncle You didn't agree with it before, but I insisted with all my strength. Uncle You had no choice but to do it..." Feng Ziying saw that although her father was angry, he didn't go too far. After thinking about it, he continued: "However, this visit from my hometown has made my son very worried. Chang thinks that if things continue like this, our Feng family will really be in ruins."

Feng Tang was very unhappy with his son's words, but Feng You had already given him a detailed account of the matter before. He repeatedly mentioned Brother Keng's amazing performance and urged Brother Keng to never go back to the past. Children looked at it and were full of praise for Feng Ziying's performance.

Feng Tang was doubtful about Feng You's words before, wondering if Feng You was trying to mitigate Feng Ziying's self-initiated behavior to avoid censure, but this previous conversation also surprised him.

My son went to the Imperial College for half a year, because during this time he was busy with the resurrection and didn't pay much attention to it, and then came this trip to Linqing.

 After coming back, it was as if he was a different person. His words were clear and clear, and every sentence meant what he said.

Although it is a bit alarmist, it is completely different from the previous careless or meaningless feeling. This feeling has changed too much.

His eyes fell on his son. Feng Tang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Ziying, how have you been doing in the Imperial College these past six months? I heard from your mother that the situation there is also more complicated. Many prison guards are not on campus? Is one of them hanging? Sneaking home on the first day? There are many tributes who never go to prison?"

"Father, this situation doesn't last for a day or two. Some people can't stand the poverty and loneliness, and some have no intention of relying on this in the first place. Isn't Brother Rong of the Jia family also in prison? I haven't seen him in the past six months. I've been there once." Feng Ziying spread her hands and said, "It depends on the individual. It's better to watch the sacrificial wine. For someone like Rong Ge'er, he might not be too lazy to care about it, but if he wants to be a prisoner and become an official, then what do you think? If you want to cheat, don't even think about it, I won't issue you a document when the time comes."

"Looking at you, I'm afraid you don't just want to hang out in prison, right?" Feng Tang said thoughtfully: "Your mother didn't want you to follow my path even to death, so she let you take the path of prison. But you also know that Yinjian is considered a miscellaneous job in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in the future it will only be an assistant position at most. Seeing how angry you are, are you afraid that you don’t want to continue on this road? "

Feng Ziying did not expect that her father would see her plan so quickly, and nodded slightly: "Father, in this Imperial College, dragons and snakes are mixed together, too impetuous, it is not a place to calm down and learn, but there are still some talents. Jun, our Feng family comes from a martial arts background, but I'm afraid you have also seen that our great Zhou Dynasty civil servants are the real ones. It is also the tacit rule of our court to use literature to control martial arts. Even the Jia family knows that their children should study and participate in the provincial examination. Of course I also want to take this path. Even if I pass the exam, our Feng family will not be regarded as a vulgar family..."

Feng Tang took a deep breath and motioned for Feng Ziying to sit opposite him.

He truly realized that his son had changed so much in the past half year or so, that he was completely different. Is this Imperial College so extraordinary?

Also, this trip to Linqing may have also touched him a lot. He didn't care about the worries he mentioned before, but now it seems that he still has to ask.

“Ziying, you said earlier that you have a lot of feelings and worries when you return to Linqing this time. Let’s talk about it.”

Feng Ziying knew that his previous words had successfully established a different impression in front of his father. From now on, he was afraid that he would no longer regard himself as a child. Now he needed to deepen and consolidate the impression on his father. , which made him deeply realize that he was no longer the same person.

Starting from what I saw when I went south, I saw the civil unrest in Texas, the harsh demands of the tax inspectors, the complaints of merchants, the hardship of the people, the spread of the White Lotus Sect, and even the infiltration of the Japanese, as well as the shortage of the guards and the inability of the Jinyi Guards. One by one, Feng Tang's heart was ups and downs.

 For Feng Tang, he was not ignorant of these situations.

Naturally, he knew better than Feng Ziying about the situation of the Weisuo and Jinyiwei. He had also heard about the viciousness of the tax supervisors and the power of the White Lotus Sect. However, he did not expect that his son's trip lasted only about ten days. Such a profound understanding was what surprised him the most.

After listening for a long time, Feng Tang did not interrupt. Until the end, he stood up and patted Feng Ziying on the shoulder, "Ziying, you have grown up. I really didn't expect that, well, our great Zhou Dynasty is so short." In just a few decades, it has become like this. It is difficult to explain clearly the whole story, but there is no need to talk about the tax supervisor. The household department is empty, where does the border salary come from? "

Seeing Feng Ziying open her mouth to speak, Feng Tang interrupted: "I know what you want to say. A lot of the tax money collected by the tax supervisor has gone into other people's pockets. Do you think the emperor doesn't know about it? But now in the court,..."

He shook his head again, as if he didn't want to tell his son these messy things, but his son's previous performance made him look forward to it. Maybe there would be no harm in letting his son understand this earlier: "It's not easy to talk about things in the court now. The Emperor has been in Yuji for just one year. Well, he has to ask the Supreme Emperor for instructions on many things, and the ministers in the court also..., so..."

Feng Ziying immediately understood, "This time my father is planning to retaliate, but is it because there are twists and turns involved?"

"Well, there is some connection. The right minister of the Ministry of War is Wang Ziteng, and his father has already cleared it up. Mr. Xiao, the minister, is currently also serving as the Ministry of Punishments. His main concern is with the Ministry of Punishments. However, it has been difficult to settle the matter with Zhang Jingqiu, the left minister. , My father plans to find a way to clear the way for Mr. Xiao. If Mr. Xiao nods his head, even Zhang Jingqiu will be hard-pressed..."

 “The prince is also the right minister?” Feng Ziying thought carefully, “Is Zhang Jingqiu a person trusted by the emperor?”

 Feng Ziying’s next sentence brings up the key point.

Feng Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that his son even knew this: "Wang Ziteng was appointed part-time in the middle of last year, and Zhang Jingqiu was recently promoted by the emperor at the beginning of the year. It turned out that he was the right deputy governor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. history."

“Father, this is inappropriate.” Feng Ziying slowly shook her head.

"Oh?" Feng Tang was surprised and confused, "Why is it inappropriate?"

“Hasn’t the prince always been the envoy of the Beijing camp? Why did he suddenly also serve as the right minister of the Ministry of War?” Feng Ziying asked calmly.

“Ziying, you don’t know something. It’s a long-standing practice for the Jiedushi of Beijing to also serve as the right minister of the Ministry of War. It’s not uncommon.” Feng Tang frowned: “But...”

“Was it before the Emperor abdicated, or after he abdicated?” Feng Ziying asked again.

Feng Tangchan was surprised and savored it carefully.

Of course he is not a pure martial artist, so he naturally understands what his son means.

“After the emperor ascended the throne, he appointed Wang Ziteng to concurrently serve as the right minister of the Ministry of War.” After thinking for a while, Feng Tang replied firmly.
