  Chapter 1935 Renzi Juan Chongxuanguan prayed for blessings, Jia Yuanchun went crazy

  The news of Satsuma sending troops to Ryukyu opened the memory of the Japanese shogunate that had not appeared in Feng Ziying's mind for a long time.

In my impression, Tokugawa Ieyasu should not be dead yet. Although Tokugawa Hidetada inherited the position of general, Tokugawa Ieyasu should still be in power behind the scenes. The spread of Catholicism in Japan frightened the Tokugawa shogunate, and Toyotomi Hideyori still refused to give in, Japan should not be considered peaceful, why did the Satsuma clan dare to send troops to Ryukyu?

  Feng Ziying can no longer remember how the Ryukyu Shang clan was slowly swallowed up by Japan, but there is no doubt that the Satsuma invasion should be the beginning rather than the end.

In his impression, the Ryukyu Shang family should have survived for many years. In the previous life, it seemed that the Ming Dynasty should have intervened in this matter, but the current Great Zhou Dynasty is still in civil strife. Maybe Satsuma took the opportunity to see the great Zhou civil strife. Invasion, if Dazhou does not intervene, maybe Ryukyu will fall into the hands of Japan from now on.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying felt that she might have to remind the Ministry of Rites, even if she couldn't spare the energy to deal with the matter right now, the diplomatic note must be given, otherwise, the Japanese would really make it a fait accompli and deal with it later. It will be a lot of trouble.

When the Japanese ronin were involved in the Linqing civil change that year, Feng Ziying had already noticed that the Tokugawa shogunate was not closed to the outside world as it was said in history, and at least there were different opinions within it, like the Shimadzu family of Satsuma This kind of powerful vassal is far away in Kagoshima, and the Tokugawa shogunate may not be able to fully control it.

Reminiscent of Wang Yingxiong’s proposal to go to Gan Ning in the future, follow the example of Dou Gu and Ban Chao to repeat the homeland for the Great Zhou, but the Western Regions are still a land of chaos, and Nanyang is being attacked by European colonists. In Li Bingmao, this big week is still full of dangers. Thinking of this, Feng Ziying feels more and more that the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River must be resolved as soon as possible, and the authority of the court should be restored as soon as possible, so that he can devote his mind to foreign wars.

If the internal troubles are not eliminated, it is impossible to talk about using troops abroad, let alone expanding the territory, and the current system and thinking of the imperial court have not really transformed into the model that wants to expand outward, especially in terms of ideology. On this point, relying on any one person's enthusiasm is empty talk, and Feng Ziying knows this very well.

I only hate that I am too young, and do not have the ability and means to promote the ideological transformation of the entire government and the public. I finally managed to produce newspapers and publications such as "Internal Reference", "Today's News", and "Yuedan Commentary", but the time is too short and the foundation is too weak , can only be used to promote some specific fields, and it will take time to truly form an all-round social influence.

   Time doesn't wait for me, but what can I do? We have to take it step by step.

  Sitting in the study, Feng Ziying was still thinking about what role the Denglai Navy and the Fujian Navy could play in the Ryukyu issue, and Jin Chuaner came in and said that Baoqin is here again.

Feng Ziying could feel that, starting from the mandarin ducks, Jin Chuan'er, Yu Chuan'er, Qingwen, and Siqi all had different attitudes towards Baoqin who often came to Feng's mansion, from the original welcome to the later indifference, and now they are indifferent. Some disgusted.

This is also normal. When Yuan Chun's status as a concubine became a negative asset following the decline of the Jia family and the emperor's coma, they had already regarded the Feng family as their own mandarin ducks, Jin Chuan'er and the others naturally did not want Yuan Chun to drag the Feng family down. Feng Ziying I don't know if Baoqin is aware of this.

   "Let her in." Seeing Jin Chuan'er hesitated to speak, Feng Ziying waved her hand, "I know that well."

   "My lord is too attached to affection, many times it's only me who suffers." Jin Chuan'er pouted.

"To lose is to take advantage, you have to keep this sentence firmly in mind." Feng Ziying didn't explain too much, it's not that simple to use Yuan Chun, after all, Yuan Chun's contacts in the palace are too weak, far inferior to Qiu Shi'an. You are an old man, but he doesn't fully trust Qiu Shi'an and Feng Ziying, so he needs someone like Yuan Chun to help monitor him.

   After Baoqin came in and met the ceremony, he asked about the arrangement. Feng Ziying had already arranged for it before, and it was at Chongxuan Temple in Rizhongfang.

  Rizhongfang is located in the northwest corner of the city, and it is usually a remote place. The Chongxuan Temple is not popular there, and the host of the Taoist temple is an acquaintance of Feng Ziying, who is actively seeking to make progress, so it is relatively safe to arrange it there.

  After telling Baoqin about the place of Chongxuanguan, Baoqin didn't say much, and Feng Ziying asked her what he asked her to bring to Yuanchun, and what was Yuanchun's attitude.

  Baoqin said that she would have to have a face-to-face meeting with Feng Ziying at that time.

   This girl was going to be more aggressive at this time, Feng Ziying didn't care, and waved her hand to indicate that the other party could leave.

   It is conceivable that Yuan Chun is also in a state of panic now.

  The destruction of the Jia family, Su Lingyao's abandonment of her like a shoe, and the contempt and disdain of eunuchs like Qiu Shi'an all made her very irritated.

  This is the most realistic portrayal of this world.

  If you are useful, you will be held in your hands, and if you are useless, you will be discarded. Yuan Chun has lived in the palace for so many years, so he should understand this truth.

   If she still doesn't understand, then Feng Ziying really dare not use her.

Sometimes it is really necessary to stimulate Jia Yuanchun's competitive spirit and sense of shame, so that she can maximize her subjective initiative. In the palace, everyone is not a good person. If you want to do things for yourself, spying on the news is not easy. Well, it doesn't matter if you want to exert influence, then you have to let go of some things, and you have to remain arrogant, which is meaningless.

The problem is that Feng Ziying is really a little uncertain about Yuan Chun's thoughts. For Yuan Chun, her current life in the palace is meaningless. Whether Emperor Yonglong wakes up or not, it has nothing to do with her. It is impossible for Emperor Yonglong's body to continue, he can only pass on the throne to one of the several princes, and then live for the rest of his life without waking up, so naturally everything will stop.

  For Yuan Chun, what she wants now is the most difficult thing to grasp.

   Having no heirs means that it is impossible for her to play the leading role in the future court life, but is it meaningful to pay a lot for the supporting role?

   But having said that, just give up everything like this, find a cool place in the palace, spend the rest of her life in the cold pot and cold stove, Yuan Chun is in her youth, can she bear it?

  Thinking about Jia Yuanchun's state of mind, Feng Ziying stepped into Chongxuan Temple.

Chongxuan Temple is famous as Cao Laogong Temple, which was initiated and built by Cao Jixiang, a famous **** in the former Mingshun period. It was originally very popular, but after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it quickly fell into depression, and Chongxuan Temple was left out in front of the gate. Rare, but because it was built by the **** of the former Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as related to the palace. Yuan Chun used this as an excuse to worship Xuanguan to pray for blessings and rest, which makes sense.

Compared with the ostentation when Yuanchun was visiting her relatives, Yuanchun's going out of the palace now seems easy. Except for Baoqin and the little **** named Chengen who followed her, there were only two other palace people and an older old eunuch. followed.

   Before Feng Ziying went in, Ruixiang had already opened the way.

   Those who can bring Yuan Chun out should be regarded as trustworthy people, but Feng Ziying does not dare to guarantee it. After all, Yuan Chun is weak in the palace, and it is not impossible for her subordinates to be bribed.

Feng Ziying circled around and entered the quiet room in the west of Chongxuan Temple through the ear door on the side. This room was specially opened for the relatives of dignitaries and dignitaries to come to the temple to eat vegetarian food and keep healthy. However, the incense in Chongxuan Temple was not very popular. , there are not many times when it can be used, so it is naturally used by Yuan Chun at this time.

  The quiet room is surrounded by ancient cypresses, and the coolness is faint. Because it is in a corner, it is extraordinarily secluded.

  When Feng Ziying entered, Yuan Chun was facing away from the door, quietly looking at Gu Bai outside the window in a trance.

   "Meet the empress."

   "It's so embarrassing to call me your mother." Yuan Chun turned around, looking at Feng Ziying with complicated eyes.

  Feng Ziying remained calm and composed, "Your Majesty still has to struggle with these details, it is too narrow, then I will be called a big girl, and there will be no difference."

   "The meaning is quite different." Yuan Chun looked straight at Feng Ziying.

  Feng Ziying had a headache, Yuan Chun seemed to have noticed something, he coughed dryly and said, "Why is it different?"

"Call me Madam, brother Keng, do you regard me as a pure outsider? Call me big girl, because you still think about the friendship between the Feng Jia family. I am still your big sister anyway?" Jia Yuan Chun speaks every word with authenticity.

  Feng Ziying didn't expect Yuan Chun to criticize from this angle, but you have to look carefully, it seems that there is something, this appellation can actually represent people's inner intimacy and attitude, the most intuitive and true.

   Laughing wryly, Feng Ziying shook her head: "It's not my fault, maybe it's been too long, and I'm a little unfamiliar, so I'm used to calling you Niangniang, anyway, let's call her big girl."

Yuan Chun's eye circles were a little red, "It seems that Ziying recruited me because you intend to treat me as an outsider, so what you want to talk to me is just a pure profit transaction? If I don't want to go Do what you want me to do?"

  Yuan Chun's sudden attack made Feng Ziying a little at a loss. He originally thought that Yuan Chun should treat this kind of thing rationally. Didn't she also want to win in the palace, or live a good life? Why does this attitude seem to be aimed at me, and it has become my own?

For a moment, I didn't know what was going on in Yuan Chun's mind. Feng Ziying could only keep silent, but Yuan Chun seemed to be even more indignant: "Why didn't you talk? Is it true that Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, who can bring the dead to life, is speechless? Do you think that the Jia family is over, and Jia Yuanchun is just a poor woman waiting for her beauty to die in the palace all her life, and if she can be used to some use, it can be regarded as flattering her?"
