Chapter 780 The Dangerous Road in the E-Zijuan

  After pondering for a moment, Feng Ziying raised his eyes and looked at each other, "I wonder what the prediction is about?"

A faint smile flashed across Yuan Chunfeng's eyes, "It's just you and me, are you still worried that something will be leaked? Don't they all say that the Feng family's eldest son is extremely bold, and that Xiao Feng's writings are well-known in Kyoto? Why did it become like this? Are you so timid that you even hesitate to say more?"

"No, what the empress heard may be that she is so bold that she slanders the capital, right?" Feng Ziying said nonchalantly: "Besides, the empress also misunderstood my meaning. She probably thought that I was avoiding certain topics, but for me Said, these topics don’t seem to mean much.”

"So you don't want to answer?" Yuanchun's tone suddenly became sharp.

Feng Ziying couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes narrowed a little, and she stared at the other party coldly for a long time, until the other party turned her head to the side with a guilty conscience, and then said calmly: "If your Majesty is like this, the foreign minister will have no choice but to resign."

 “You!” Jia Yuanchun stood up suddenly, his face flushed.

"What's wrong with me?" Feng Ziying casually picked up the tea next to her and took a sip, "Madam, the Feng family never owes anyone, not the court, not the Tian family, not to mention the Jia family, only them. You owe my family. What do you want to say, thunder, rain and dew are all my kindness? That is just to fool the new scholars. Otherwise, how could you summon me so eagerly, without even fearing that the female officials and eunuchs in the palace would know about it? ? It’s impossible for the concubine to cover up the sky with one hand in the palace. Is it true that the emperor is going to be blind?"

 Feng Ziying actually sympathized with Jia Yuanchun.

After all, a girl enters the palace as a female historian at the age of fourteen. She originally thought that she would be able to leave the palace at the age of eighteen and look for a marriage of her own. However, she did not expect that she would be sold by her family and kept until she was twenty. He was used as a chess piece and officially entered the palace, accompanied by a bad old man who was over fifty years old.

That's all. The key is that these parties treat them as pawns, and no one has ever considered their own thoughts. They even have to bear the burden of the rise and fall of the family. Such a fate is really pitiful.

This woman's appearance is indeed commendable. She has a hibiscus jade face like a Guanyin master, a wide forehead and plump cheeks, a gooseneck and broad shoulders, and phoenix eyes and eyebrows. She is a bit more graceful and graceful than Wang Xifeng. Compared with Wang Xifeng, Tanchun is a bit more luxurious and elegant, a bit more majestic and magnificent than Baochai. If it were a Feng Shui fortune teller, he would definitely say that this is the destiny of a queen. Well, of course, it is indeed true to be a concubine. Not bad anymore.

However, the tone of this woman's words today made Feng Ziying very unhappy. It was you who asked me to come. As a foreign minister, Feng Ziying could have refused, but considering many factors, when she came, you had to do this to me. Just a flowery display would be too boring.

  When you need to discuss something, just make it clear and say it clearly. If you need someone to ask for something, then show your attitude. Do you really think that you, a noble concubine, can secure everything? That would be too naive.

Feng Ziying did not think that the other party was so unwise, but her inertia made her feel a little embarrassed, so Feng Ziying needed to make the other party sober up.

Jia Yuanchun was left speechless by Feng Ziying's unceremonious retort. Jia Yuanchun was ashamed and angry, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

 In the palace, she was used to being patient and cautious, or giving orders and prohibitions in front of the servants. Suddenly she encountered Feng Ziying's sharp and straightforward rebuttal. She really couldn't adapt.

But you have to adapt even if you can't adapt. Seeing Feng Ziying picking up the tea cup and sipping the tea carefully, Jia Yuanchun burst into anger for no reason: "Feng Keng, you are so bold!"

"Girl, why am I so bold? Well, even if I disobey you and offend you, what if the tea cup falls to the ground and the swordsmen and axes come out and chop me into a pulp?"

Feng Ziying really feels that this woman should calm down and sober up. Is it the same in the palace? Are Concubine Xu, Concubine Zheng, Dai Quan, and Xia Shouzhong all good men and women who are harmless to humans and animals?

Seeing Jia Yuanchun's face turned red, the anger in her eyes getting even worse, and her whole body trembling slightly. It was probably that no one had ever been able to humiliate and stimulate her like me. But could it be that she was still so irrational and calm in front of Emperor Yonglong? ?

"Girl, if you continue to be in this mood, I think there is no need for us to talk about anything." Feng Ziying felt that she wanted to slap her face hard to make her sober. "You called me here because you value me. I am very grateful. As a foreign minister, I came to see you when I should not have come. That is also to respect you. However, if you think that I should kowtow and obey orders, I am afraid you are wrong. My father is the governor of Jiliao in the imperial court. It was compiled by the Hanlin Academy of the imperial court, not by anyone's private ministers."

He was really merciless, but Feng Ziying's facial expression was very sincere, and her eyes met each other. After a long while, Jia Yuanchun finally lowered his head: "Brother Keng, I am a little rude."

"It's understandable that your Majesty's affairs have nothing to do with you, and if it concerns you it will lead to chaos." Feng Ziying didn't think too much about herself. "As I said, you might as well say what you want to hear. Today, your Majesty will exclude outsiders, only you and me. Man, the relationship between the Jia family and the Feng family is inextricably linked, if you can trust me, just tell me everything, if not, just be polite."

 Feng Ziying's frankness put Jia Yuanchun in trouble.

She came here with a purpose. She originally thought that with a hint, the other party would be grateful for his dedication and talent, but she did not expect that this person would not accept this trick at all, which made her a little confused.

Before she left, the concubine had explained it to her alone. However, this matter was so big that she could only have a partial understanding of it. Even some of the meanings were slowly chewed out of the food on the way. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, but she didn't. If you dare to refuse, you will feel more and more trapped in it and unable to extricate yourself.

"Brother Keng, today the Emperor talked about your second uncle's achievements in Datong Mansion, and he was very moved. The concubine also repeatedly mentioned that at the same time as the Emperor's inspection tour, your second uncle was unparalleled in loyalty and bravery..." Jia Yuanchun slowly calmed down. After thinking about it, he began to think of words, "I have also heard that you mentioned the matter of your second uncle to the emperor. If the imperial court intends to pursue the title..."

"Your Majesty, I am not pursuing the title, but returning Uncle Yunchuan of the Feng family to the Feng family." Feng Ziying already understood what Jia Yuanchun meant, and just sent a message to the emperor and the concubine, asking her own attitude, "I once I have expressed my attitude to the emperor that restoring the Feng family's status as Earl of Yunchuan will not harm the court. What the Feng family wants is fairness and justice. This is also the court's recognition of the soldiers who have guarded the border for so many years. ,…”

Jia Yuanchun frowned secretly. This guy still refused to express his attitude. No wonder the emperor and the concubine were so cautious. "The emperor and the concubine also want to restore the status of Feng family's uncle Yunchuan. What do you think?"

"What about the emperor's attitude? I remember that I asked the emperor for this matter, but the emperor did not reply." Feng Ziying countered.

"Brother Keng, you don't need to worry about this. The Emperor will naturally talk to the Emperor about this matter. We can't chill the hearts of the loyal and brave soldiers guarding the border. The Emperor and the Concubine agree with this." Yuan Chun stared at Feng Ziying closely. , observing the changes in the other person's expression.

"Of course Ziying is happy to see this matter come to fruition, and the emperor should have had this intention for a long time. However, there is no suitable reason. If the emperor proposed it, he would be happy to agree." Feng Ziying thought for a while and replied calmly.

Yuanchun felt a little relieved. This was a matter that the Emperor and the Concubine had explained. It had a result, and it seemed pretty good.

 The palace fell into silence again.

Although Yuan Chun was evaluating the subsequent impact of this matter, Feng Ziying was considering how Emperor Yonglong would consider it if the Supreme Emperor really proposed this suggestion to Emperor Yonglong. He might express his tacit approval by asking for the Feng family's opinion. In fact, this It was a disguised form of forcing the Feng family to express its position. After all, no one else knew about it when I made this request to him. All I needed was a tactful attitude to defuse the Emperor's offensive.

 But the Emperor should have also taken this into consideration and still proposed it, or even asked for his own opinion in advance, just to ensure his attitude.

If I delay tactfully at that time, I am afraid that the Supreme Emperor will understand that there are some things that cannot be done.

“What do you think of the Jia family now?”

 Finally, Jia Yuanchun asked this question.

Feng Ziying was not surprised. If it was just a temptation from the Supreme Emperor, Jia Yuanchun would not have been so nervous or even a little embarrassed. It was obvious that she had realized that she was deeply involved in the affairs of the Tianjia, and she was unable to extricate herself and had no choice.

The concubine's female history was arranged by the Supreme Emperor to be the concubine of Emperor Yonglong, and Emperor Yonglong even promoted her to the title of noble concubine. However, the Jia family was the only one among the four princes and eight princes in Wuxun. The in-laws of the Jia family were the princes of the Wang family. Teng Geng was the former Governor of Beijing Camp, the former Governor of Xuan and the current Governor of Denglai. The concubine raised Emperor Yonglong and Prince Yi Zhong, but she was always entrusted with the important task of managing the harem by the Supreme Emperor until Emperor Yonglong succeeded. Bit.

And there is even more presence here, Prince Yoshitaka, who has been the prince for twenty years.

Such a complicated relationship makes it difficult for even insiders to weigh and distinguish clearly, let alone outsiders.

 How is the Jia family doing? Feng Ziying sneered in her heart, the key is what can the Jia family do? Can the Jia family change course and turn around immediately?

Not to mention whether Emperor Yonglong would believe it or accept it, what should Wang Ziteng do and what should Niu Jizong do? What's the explanation from the Supreme Emperor? How to separate the Zhen family and the Wang family in Beijing who are closely related to the Jia family?

It is impossible to get out of such a large Jia family so easily by mobilizing the whole body.

To be honest, Feng Ziying couldn't think of what the Jia family could do for a while. No matter what we do, it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory result. It can be said that we can only settle for the second best and see what can be saved by maximizing preservation.

 But this is an even more dangerous road. If you don't like it at both ends, it means you will die at the front if you don't pay attention.
