Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2578 Guizi scroll returns to Beijing, comment

It is no secret that Miao Changqi has a good manly style, and he is especially fond of Feng Quan, a Jinshi in the second year of Wantong.

Good masculinity is not uncommon among civil servants in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but a cabinet minister like Miao Changqi is so obsessed with a new Jinshi, and even has to do things for him, which is a bit out of the ordinary.

This is why the cabinet wants to say that he was kicked out of the cabinet, and he himself knows it well.

But it was ironic that he was placed in the position of Minister of Rites.

It's just that the story in this court is like this, there is both fighting and compromise, the Jiangnan forces represented by Tang and Miu are not small, even Qi Yongtai has to give some face.

Miao Changqi is a well-known scholar in the south of the Yangtze River after all, if he can't be a cabinet minister, at least he needs to be given a minister. The minister of the Ministry of officials dare not let him be the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, let alone the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, so there is only the minister of the Ministry of rites.

However, such stories were only circulated in the capital, and everyone just smiled and let it go.

Even scholars like Feng Ziying and Sun Chengzong, who were not interested in this, just laughed it off, at most with a bit of disdain.

"It has nothing to do with the overall situation. In fact, the guests also have opinions on Miao Changqi. It's just that the two are in the same camp. It's not good to go too far." Feng Ziying also said with a smile.

"The situation in the court should also be changed and stabilized. As you Ziying said, the next step is to stabilize the north and the south, make every effort to plan Liaodong, completely solve the threat of Jianzhou Jurchen, and let's talk about the problem of eliminating Mongolia."

Sun Chengzong also had great ambitions. He knew very well that the threat from the imperial court always came from the north. If the threat from these nomadic peoples in the north was not completely eradicated, it would be difficult for the imperial court to let go of the shackles.

"Brother Zhisheng, I also mean the same thing. At present, the financial resources of the imperial court have improved. When I go to Liaodong this time, I will use a three-to-five-year plan to completely solve the threat of the Jianzhou Jurchen. Nurhachi certainly has the ambition to be a hero, but how can he build it?" Zhou Juzhen can't support his ambition, it will only bring trouble for him, so let's take this opportunity to make a deal."

Feng Ziying had a confident face, even Sun Chengzong was infected, and couldn't help saying: "Ziying has such an ambition, and I will fully support it. Within half a year, this northern land will be leveled and the rear will be stabilized for Ziying."

The two felt sympathetic to each other. Although Sun Chengzong was in his twenties, Sun Chengzong always felt that Feng Ziying's level of sophistication in serving officials and fighting wars was beyond his own compunction, and his clear and rational thinking was completely at the same age as him. It can be said that he is young and mature, so there is no discomfort in this feeling.

When Feng Ziying left Zhending and returned to the capital, she heard the urgent report that Sun Chengzong had also entered the capital.

On the sixth day of November, Sun Chengzong led Ma Kongying and Tu Wenxiu to defeat the Bailian rebel army in Ningjin, and took advantage of the situation to attack Gaoyi. There were as many as [-] people successively.

After Feng Ziying returned to Beijing, he did not report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate first. He is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When I met Zhang Huaichang, I got the record of Sun Chengzong leading the army to show his might in Zhending.

"Ziying, it seems that he is not willing to be resigned to others, and he is determined to do as well as you." Zhang Huaichang is in a good mood, "It's no wonder that you are only 25, and he is already [-]. There is no reason why he can do worse than you, a junior. .”

"Mr. Huaichang, brother Zhisheng is a great talent in himself, and he can be equally talented in literature and martial arts wherever he is placed. Let him go in the Liaodong Bureau, and he can also succeed immediately. The only worry is whether brother Zhisheng can bear it. In fact, if Brother Feibai hadn’t been acclimatized to the environment, I believe he could have made great achievements in Liaodong.”

Feng Ziying's words made Zhang Huaichang shake his head slightly, "Ziying, you don't need to explain more for Fei Bai. Although Fei Bai is sick, he still lacked some strength to control the warriors in Liaodong. There are many rifts among the warriors. Small, this is also the main reason why Li Yongfang was able to take this opportunity to sow discord and succeed, and all the cabinet ministers can see this."

"Feibai has only been there for a long time, and he can sort out the grievances and grievances accumulated by the Liaodong Wu people for decades. No one has that ability, and neither do I." Feng Ziying categorically denied it and did not agree with Zhang Huaichang's point of view, "The cabinet should also have It is suggested that there will be a process for the Jianzhou Jurchen war, and the power of the whole country must be gathered. At that time, I will put forward a concept of my own with the cabinet. Get rid of all evil!"

Zhang Huaichang understands Feng Ziying's worry. He is worried that there are still hidden characters in the Liaodong Army who may be bribed by Li Yongfang, causing irreparable losses. Especially if the war is protracted, the greater the risk, the more troops from other border towns must be mobilized Enter Liaodong, and replace some troops in Liaodong that he considers suspicious.

"Ziying, I understand your worries and concerns. In fact, the reason why the situation in Liaodong has not been good has a lot to do with the long-term solidification and staleness of the army. This cannot be solved by Zhao Ledjiao or a certain general. As you said, you need to continue to exchange blood, and the frontier troops in Jizhen, Xuanfu, Jingying, Datong, Shanxi, and Yulin can all be transferred to Liaodong one after another. Of course, this cannot be accomplished overnight, and it will take a process."

Zhang Huaichang's words should reassure Feng Ziying, and with Zhang Huaichang's support, he felt at ease, as if he felt something, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Huaichang, you also want to..."

"Well, I'm sixty-two, and my energy is a little low. I also told Brother Chengfeng that I suggest you or Zhisheng to replace me. I plan to retire." Zhang Huaichang was very calm, "Brother Chengfeng The meaning may be to let Zhisheng be the Minister of the Ministry of War, but I will wait until he has finished the war in Hebei. Zhisheng will also give you great support,..."

Zhang Huaichang's words shook Feng Ziying's mind slightly. In fact, he also knew that it was impossible for him to go to Liaodong to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. But once the Liaodong incident happened, there would be an arrangement for him. It would depend on Qi Shi's thinking.

In the collective meeting of the cabinet, there was nothing calm. Feng Ziying introduced the current situation of the Hebei war, and also made it clear that Sun Chengzong would definitely solve the Hebei war situation in a relatively short period of time. The Hebei war situation has entered the final stage.

The focus is to elaborate on some assumptions and intentions after the next possible rush to Liaodong, as well as the long-term plan for the entire Liaodong war and the Jianzhou Jurchen strategy.

Feng Ziying spent nearly two hours expounding on her business plan for the entire Greater Liaodong, including the strategy of Jianzhou Jurchen, as well as the management of the western Liaoning Grasslands, and even the local development of Liaodong.

It should be said that this strategy is too big, and it will not see results in three to five years, and it also needs the strong support of the court from military to financial.

However, on this issue, the opinions of the cabinet tended to be unanimous. After all, Jianzhou Jurchen came here every now and then, like cutting sausages, approaching the hinterland of the Central Plains section by section, and no one could bear it.

"Ye Xiang and Fang Xiang are really going to retire? When?" Feng Ziying waited until Qi Yongtai returned to the mansion before going to the mansion to meet.

"Well, next month or so, after you go to Liaodong, there will be some handovers. Jinqing is also tired. Of course, there are also many current factors. More needs a rotation balance."

Qi Yongtai seems to have no interest in taking over as the chief assistant, but as the leader of the northern scholars, he can't justify not taking over.

Cui Jingrong, Qiao Yingjia, Wang Yongguang, Han Yu, Sun Juxiang, Sun Chengzong and others have not yet grown to the point where they can succeed him, and it is difficult for Li Sancai to become the leader of the northern scholars.

But his age is not young anymore, he is comparable to Zhang Huaichang, and almost ten years older than Ye Xianggao, so it is uncertain how long he will be in this position, it may be three to five years, and he will support Feng Ziying to win the final victory in Liaodong .

"Isn't it time for us northern scholars to join us? From Shen Yiguan to Ye Xiang, it has been more than 20 years, and the northern scholars can't suppress their grievances?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

"Hmph, don't listen to these random comments below, what kind of resentment, how much resentment is there?" Qi Yongtai said flatly: "The northern land has been plagued by famines in the past few years, but after your strategy of opening up the sea and the large-scale promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes, The situation has changed a lot. Even Jinqing and Zhonghan can see it, and although the North is not as rich as Jiangnan, it is the key to suppressing the nomads. No one wants to see the Song, Liao, Song and Jin eras. The situation of being under the pressure of the Han people makes the Han people breathless, so the foundation is strengthened, the north is the foundation, and the south of the Yangtze River is the foundation, and both are indispensable. It’s all acceptable and normal.”

"Master Qi, the disciple didn't say anything, just do your own thing." Feng Ziying explained quickly.

"Well, it's good for you to understand. Among the young scholars, you and Junyu are the strongest. You have outstanding talents, but you are not as calm as Junyu. You have improved a lot in the past two years. Yang Wenruo is not bad as a leader in Huguang scholars, but Slightly inferior to you and Junyu, now it seems that Mengzhang and Keyou's performance is also remarkable,..."

Qi Yongtai commented a few words on the batch of scholars from the fifth year of Yonglong, "There are also students from the eighth year of Yonglong. Boya and Yaocao are both good, and there is also Qian Qianyi..."

Sun Chuanting and Ma Shiying, of course, are both good. Feng Ziying, a famous character in history, also admires Master Qi. As for Qian Qianyi, the water is too cold. Maybe he has talent, but his character and integrity are worrying. Still can't say where to go.
