Number of People

  Chapter 60 A character scroll is complicated, fade in

"Father, this matter is all up to me alone, and has nothing to do with Uncle You. Uncle You didn't agree with it before, but I insisted on it. Uncle You had no choice but to do so..." Feng Ziying saw that her father was angry, but he didn't overdo it. Concerned, he continued: "However, the visit from my hometown this time made my son feel quite worried. Chang Si, if things go on like this, our Feng family may really fall apart."

Feng Tang was very displeased with his son's words, but Feng You had already given him a detailed account of this matter before, repeatedly mentioning Brother Keng's amazing performance, and insisting that Brother Chen Keng would never do what he did in the past. Looking at it from the perspective of children, they are full of praise for Feng Ziying's performance.

  Before Feng Tang was skeptical about Feng You's words, thinking that Feng You was avoiding blame for Feng Ziying's self-assertive behavior, 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 his recovery and didn't take much care of it, and then it was just this trip to Linqing.

  After returning, it seemed that he was a different person, his words were clear, and every sentence had something to say.

  Although it was a bit alarmist, it was completely different from the previous casual or indifferent. This feeling has changed too much.

Looking at his son, Feng Tang hesitated for a moment before saying: "Ziying, how is your situation in the Imperial College these past six months? I heard from your mother that the situation at the Imperial College is also complicated. Many shadow supervisors do not come to school? Hang one just slip back home? There are still a lot of tributes who don’t make it to the prison at all?”

"Father, it's not a day or two. Some people can't stand poverty and loneliness. Some people didn't plan to rely on it. Isn't Brother Rong from Jia's family also in prison? I haven't seen him in the past six months. I've been there once." Feng Ziying spread her hands, "It depends on the individual. I'd better look at the sacrificial wine. I might not bother with people like Brother Rong, but if you want to become an official, then you want to If you want to steal and play tricks, then don't even think about it, and I will definitely not issue you a document then."

"Looking at you, I'm afraid you don't just want to spend your days in prison?" Feng Tang mused, "Your mother didn't want you to go my way again, so she let you go the way of prison prison. But you also know that Yin Jian was regarded as a miscellaneous way in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in the future it will be a position of assistant at most, seeing how excited you are, I am afraid that you don’t want to go on this road all the time?"

Feng Ziying didn't expect her father to see her plan so quickly, she nodded slightly: "Father, there are mixed dragons and snakes in this Guozijian, and it's too impetuous. It's not a place to concentrate on learning, but there are also some talented Jun, our Feng family is born in martial arts, but I am afraid you have also seen that our civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty are the real ones. It is also a tacit rule of our court to use literature to control martial arts. Even the Jia family knows that they let their children study and participate in the provincial examination. Of course I also want to go this way, 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 Feng Ziying to sit opposite him.

  He really realized that his son had changed so much in the past half a year, he was like a different person, this Guozijian is so unusual?

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

   "Ziying, earlier you said that you had a lot of feelings and worries when you returned to Linqing, let me tell you."

Feng Ziying knew that what she had said earlier had successfully established a different impression in front of her father. From then on, she might no longer see herself as a child. Now he needed to deepen and consolidate his impression on his father. , Let him deeply realize that he is no longer the original self.

From the time I went to the south, I saw civil unrest in Dezhou, harsh taxation by tax supervisors, complaints from merchants, hardships of the people, the spread of the White Lotus Sect, and even the infiltration of the Japanese, as well as the stretch of the guards and the powerlessness of the Jinyiwei. After talking one by one, Feng Tang felt his heart fluctuate.

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

For example, he knew better than Feng Ziying the situation of the guards and the Jinyiwei, and he had also heard about the cruelty of the tax supervisor and the power of the White Lotus Sect, but he didn't expect that his son's trip would only last ten days, and there would be Such a profound understanding was what surprised him the most.

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

  Seeing Feng Ziying opened his mouth to say something, Feng Tang interrupted: "I know what you want to say, a lot of the tax money collected by the tax supervisor has fallen into other people's pockets, do you think the emperor doesn't know? But now in 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 it wouldn't hurt to let his son know about it earlier: "It's not easy to talk about things in the court now, Your Majesty Yuji has just been a year old, well, you have to consult the Supreme Emperor for many things, and the ministers of the court are also..., so..."

  Feng Ziying immediately understood, "This time my father tried to recover, but because there were twists and turns involved in it?"

"Well, there are some ties. The right servant at the Ministry of War is Wang Ziteng, and he has been cleared up for his father. Shangshu Xiao is currently serving as the Ministry of Punishment, and his main focus is on the Ministry of Punishment. However, it is still difficult to make a deal with Zhang Jingqiu, the left servant. For my father, I plan to find a way to clear up Master Xiao, if Master Xiao nods, even Zhang Jingqiu will find it difficult..."

   "The prince is also serving as the right servant?" Feng Ziying pondered deeply, "Is Zhang Jingqiu someone trusted by the emperor?"

  Feng Ziying got to the point with the last sentence.

Feng Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect his son to even know this: "Wang Ziteng was appointed concurrently in the middle of last year, and Zhang Jingqiu was newly promoted by the emperor at the beginning of the year. It turns out that he is the right deputy of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate history."

   "Father, this is not appropriate." Feng Ziying shook her head slowly.

   "Oh?" Feng Tang was surprised and puzzled, "Why is it wrong?"

   "Hasn't the prince always been the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp? Why did he suddenly serve as the right servant of the Ministry of War?" Feng Ziying asked calmly.

   "Ziying, you don't know something. It is not uncommon for the military governor to also serve as the right servant of the Ministry of War. It is not uncommon." Feng Tang frowned: "But..."

   "Is that before the abdication of the Supreme Emperor, or after the abdication?" Feng Ziying asked again.

  Feng Tangyu was startled, savoring carefully.

  Of course he is not a pure warrior, so he naturally understood what his son meant.

   "After the emperor ascended the throne, Wang Ziteng was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of War." After a little thought, Feng Tang replied affirmatively.
