Chapter 951 Shen Yixiu's ridicule and temptation

Seeing Chai Ke's shocked and unacceptable expression, Feng Ziying suppressed his temper and explained: "Chai Gong, there is not only one Bozhou Yang Yinglong in the Southwest. Once Yang Yinglong rebelled and the court failed to make a timely counterattack, or If the anti-insurgency war goes wrong, it is very likely to irritate other chieftains. They will think that Da Zhou is now stretched, just like the Eighteenth Routes at the end of the Sui Dynasty. "

  Feng Ziying's words hit Chai Ke's heart like a heavy hammer. He took a deep breath, "Ziying, your words are too exaggerated. How can the Great Sui and Meng Yuan be compared with the Great Zhou?"

"My lord, the Sui Dynasty created the system of three provinces and six ministries, but the two dynasties died in more than 30 years. The Mongolian and Yuan dynasties swept the world, and Temujin's martial arts became the world's best. It took less than a hundred years. Both flourished and died suddenly. Before the dynasties collapsed, who would have thought that their lifespan would be so short? Could it be that there were no outstanding figures in these two dynasties, and no clues could be seen? Guard."

Feng Ziying was very angry, "Guizhou, Sichuan, and Huguang in the southwestern hinterland all have many propaganda divisions and Xuanfu divisions. This is a hidden danger left over from the Ming Dynasty. It is a continuation of the policy of the previous dynasty, which did not pay enough attention. Perhaps without the threat of foreign aggressors such as the Mongols and Jianzhou Jurchen, the imperial court can seem to solve the southwest rebellion in a leisurely manner, but what if it breaks out at the same time? Once the war is delayed, Huguang and Sichuan will be It is the main grain producing area, and the situation is corrupt, which will definitely affect the overall situation!"

The food in the north, especially Jingshi City, mainly comes from the south. As the phenomenon of abandoning grain in the south of the Yangtze River for planting mulberry is becoming more and more prominent, the food status of Huguang, Jiangxi and Guangdong is becoming more and more important, especially Huguang. Once the war spreads to Huguang, its impact cannot be underestimated. watch for.

  Feng Ziying had a feeling, a very bad feeling, that Da Zhou was like a trapped animal in a trap, struggling weakly.

  He felt as if apart from these superficial enemies exposed in front of his eyes, there would definitely be enemies that would emerge at critical moments.

   But he wasn't sure who it would be, so he could only screen subconsciously. The White Lotus Sect, the Japanese, and even the Mongolian right-wing Tumed people should all be possible.

  At first glance, the White Lotus Sect and the Japanese seem to be harmless, but once you get stabbed in the back at a critical moment, it may become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

   "Well, I understand." Chai Ke nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip. The previous military discussion was dry, so he had to relax now, "Is there anything else?"

   "My lord, is the Ministry of War planning to abandon Yongping?" Feng Ziying asked suddenly.

  Chai Ke shook his hand, shook the teacup in his hand, the water overflowed, and his hand was stained, "Ziying, why did you say that?"

"My lord, you don't have to hide it from me. I believe that at the critical moment, the Ministry of War and Jizhen will definitely notify Yongping Mansion. The current situation is like this. Shuntian Mansion must be protected, and Jizhen's troops are limited. No, Master You still can't control those rebellious generals, he is also difficult, I can understand, in order to ensure Liaodong, my father transferred a lot of generals who refused to obey the generals in Liaodong to Jizhen, Master You is also helpless .”

Feng Ziying's words made Chai Ke couldn't help but smile, "Ziying, Liaodong is too important, and the threat of Jianzhou Jurchen after the Nine Parts War has far surpassed the Mongols, so we have to make a choice. Ping Mansion, I can’t say it yet, but I still have to tell the truth, in the last resort, the imperial court can only choose Baoshun Tianfu, after all, once the capital shakes, it will bring too many unpredictable risks, the emperor and the cabinet will not allow it this circumstance occurs."

   "So it means that Yongping Mansion can only fend for itself as a last resort?" Feng Ziying sighed, "Hasn't the court considered Yongping Mansion's people's will?"

   "Ziying, if you were the chief assistant, what choice would you make?" Chai Ke asked.

  The conversation ended on a less than pleasant note.

  Feng Ziying stepped on the horse and glanced at the dark and gloomy gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The inside was still brightly lit, but the gate was like the mouth of a ferocious beast, which seemed to keep spitting out darkness and annihilating everyone.

   There has never been a savior, and I don’t rely on gods and emperors. If you don’t deceive me, you have to rely on yourself, Feng Ziying clenched her fists.

   There are still three months left, let’s see if I can turn Yongping Mansion into a reef in the thousands of torrents in these three months.

  *******

  Everyone in Feng's residence could feel that Feng Ziying was not in a good mood when she returned home, and Shen Yixiu noticed this.

   After taking the longan pear gravy offered by Qingwen, she took a sip and put it down. Feng Ziying also realized that her emotions had brought a lot of pressure to her family.

  Go to Wenyuan Pavilion in the morning, and just after returning in the afternoon, he went to the Ministry of War again. When he came back, his face was gloomy. The head of this family has affected the mood of the whole family, which made him feel a little apologetic.

   Seeing her husband looking over with apologetic eyes, Shen Yixiu smiled. She enjoyed the cherishment and respect her husband had for her, so she also wanted to help him relieve the pressure in his heart.

  Shen Yixiu, who grew up beside her father since she was a child, is very aware of the responsibilities and pressures that a first-level official must bear. She has experienced a lot of such things since she was a smart child.

When my father was the censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he often came back very late, and his brows were tightly locked. The mother and aunts had to find a way to cook delicious meals for him, and take good care of the children in the family so that he would not worry about housework. , but also to forgive his father as much as possible, so that his father can return to his best state the next day, and he can go to the new job without distraction.

  This is the responsibility of being a wife and concubine, and being a full-fledged wife is even more duty-bound.

   "Xianggong is tired today? Why don't you go to bed early?"

Shen Yixiu's gentle smile was like a slender hand smoothing the wrinkles on Feng Ziying's forehead. He waved his hand, "It's good to talk for a while, this longan pear gravy tastes good. I didn't expect Qingwen's craftsmanship to catch up with Jin Chuan's." son,..."

  Qingwen shook her head and chuckled, "I'm wrong too, this is Yunshang's ability, and the servants are clumsy, but they can't do it well."

"Hey, Yunshang, I didn't expect you to develop such a skill after walking for three months?" Feng Ziying looked at Yunshang and said in surprise: "It seems that you still have to be close to Zhu Zhechi, how long have you been with grandma?" , I have been following my master for so many years, but I have not made any progress, and now I am impressed by it after three months."

   "Sir, I don't have much talent in cooking. Qingwen and Yunshang went to Rongguo Mansion to learn from them." Shen Yixiu said frankly.

   "Rongguo Mansion?" At Rongguo Mansion at noon, Feng Ziying almost lost his gun. Thinking of Wang Xifeng's plump and plump body, Feng Ziying felt a little angry, suppressed his anger, and asked in a low voice, "Who did you learn from?"

"The servants learned from Miss Xiuyan." Qingwen also said generously: "At first, I said that I learned from Sister-in-law Liu, who was in the house, but Liu Wu'er said that Miss Xing's ability to cook soup is better than her mother's." How much, so I went to learn from Miss Xing,..."

   "Oh?" Feng Ziying became more and more curious, "Then Miss Xing taught you?"

Qingwen couldn't help but rolled her eyes. This master asked really strangely. He praised it all in his mouth. He asked whether he taught me. Feng Ziying also felt that he was stupid to ask, so he smiled self-deprecatingly. , "I mean, Miss Xing didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"Miss Xing is very kind, how can she make things difficult for us little girls?" Qingwen shook her head, "At first she had to decline modestly, but later she said that she learned to wait for the master to come back and cook for him, so Miss Xing didn't say anything, she taught me well. Also very dedicated,…”

Shen Yixiu glanced at her husband with a half-smile. She also knew that her husband had a very close relationship with the Jia family. Except for Daiyu and Baochai, the girls of the Jia family seemed to have some inexplicable relationship with her husband. , it seems that this Miss Xing is also familiar with her husband?

  She is not jealous, there are two other women here, and it is not her turn to be jealous. The second daughter Xue Lin who is still living in Jia's mansion should be more concerned.

  Feng Ziying also noticed his wife's gaze and spread her hands, "Miss Xing is the niece of my aunt, um, she has known Miaoyu since childhood,..."

  Shen Yixiu smiled even more, and didn't speak, which made Feng Ziying feel even more embarrassed. He coughed dryly, and subconsciously took another sip of the longan pear gravy, only to realize that this seemed to attract suspicion more easily, but he put it down and seemed to be trying to hide it,...

Amused by her husband's cute appearance, Shen Yixiu finally smiled and said: "I didn't say anything, why should my husband be so helpless? I just didn't expect that my husband seems to be very familiar with the situation of every sister in the Jia family. Sister Xiuyan The concubine has seen it before, but I don't know that she and Sister Miaoyu have known each other since childhood."

Qingwen and Yunshang next to her both heard her grandmother's teasing and teasing, and they both covered their mouths and chuckled, making Feng Ziying really want to push a cup and say, I don't pretend anymore, it's a showdown, I just like Xiuyan, so what ?

  It's a pity that I can only slander these words in my stomach, at least I don't have this idea now. Although Xing Xiuyan is like a lonely cloud coming out of Xiu, it is admirable, but it doesn't have to be in the house, and it is not suitable.

   "Wan Jun was joking." Feng Ziying rubbed her cheeks with a helpless wry smile, while Qingwen and Yunshang, who were watching beside her, laughed even more tremblingly.

   I don’t know that this grandfather is usually decisive and domineering, but in front of grandma, he always looks like this with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

"Actually, I don't mind having a few more sisters in the mansion. This way I can have more companions. The younger sister of the You family went to Yongping with her husband. Junyong is also very busy watching the government now, so it's rare to come to the mansion. Now, sometimes I really feel lonely as a concubine." Shen Yixiu said softly with a smile, and there was no slight difference between his eyebrows and eyes.
