  Chapter 613 T-shaped scroll Weng and son-in-law

  Lin Ruhai shook his head, his eyes became calmer and clearer.

"The Taishanghuang and the emperor are not so easy to give in, but neither of them will tear their faces easily, throwing rats, and beating wolves with hemp straws-the two are afraid, the Taishang does not want to cause more troubles, but feels that the necessary face must be maintained, and the emperor Probably because I have been wanting to ascend the throne for so many years, should some things be left to me to decide, the mentality of both sides is very subtle, what do you think, Ziying?"

   Now it’s been seven years of Wing Long.

  Emperor Yonglong has been on the throne for seven years, and it is still the same. It must be unbearable, but no matter how unbearable it is, there are some things that he has to endure, and he dare not take the liberty, but there are some things that he will try to fight for.

"Uncle is right, but the Supreme Emperor's behavior will hurt the Emperor's heart. Although the Tian Family has no family affection, the Emperor must still be grateful to the Supreme Emperor for handing over the throne to him. Gratitude will also disappear." Feng Ziying paused, "In addition, the performance of Prince Yizhong, it is also difficult for the emperor to have a lot of support for him, maybe..."

"Don't worry, as long as the Supreme Emperor is still here, the Emperor will not touch Prince Yizhong for the time being. Isn't Prince Yizhong relying on this? Prince Yizhong is not stupid, he is smarter than anyone else, but sometimes people are not as good as heaven." Forget it, fate is hard to break, if the opportunity is missed, it is missed, and there is no possibility to do it again,..."

  Lin Ruhai sighed.

  Feng Ziying seems to have realized something.

  My prospective father-in-law is in this special position, and has inextricable connections with the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yizhong, so it is more accurate to look at the problem.

"Uncle, what do you think the Supreme Emperor is thinking now? Could it be that he can't see the danger of appearing in this situation? Brothers fight against each other, father and son against each other, do you have to keep this big drama going on one after another? Could it be that he Aren't you afraid of triggering a human tragedy?"

  Lin Ruhai glanced at Feng Ziying and wanted to laugh, but in the end he didn't, and his face twitched.

"In the forty-two years of the Supreme Emperor's Yuji, although he was a little slack in the later period, but look at the important ministers in the court, which one was not promoted by him himself, even Qi Yongtai and Zhang Jingqiu, who would dare to deny the gift of the Supreme Emperor What did he think when he was the emperor? Everyone said that the Sacred Heart was unpredictable, but now that he is too emperor, it is even more difficult to fathom..."

   "..., but Uncle Yu thinks one thing is for sure, as long as the emperor does not act rebelliously before he closes his eyes, then the throne must belong to the emperor. As for him gone, who can control it?..."

"... Now that the situation has come to this point, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. Even though he has some regrets and remorse, he also knows that if he wants to do something to make up for the regret, it will only make him regret it even more. It’s not so stupid.” Lin Ruhai regained his composure, “Of course, what Uncle Yu said is just a normal phenomenon, the only thing to worry about is that Prince Yizhong is going to go crazy,…”

Lin Ruhai's words are basically in line with Feng Ziying's judgment. It is estimated that Emperor Yuanxi is now in a dilemma. He is not willing to see his brothers turning against each other and turning into a scene like the Xuanwu Gate, but he is also worried that Prince Yizhong will be unwilling to do rebellious actions. His energy and emotion made him unable to suppress Prince Yizhong, and even encouraged Prince Yizhong's various behaviors to a certain extent.

Feng Ziying even doubted whether the Supreme Emperor still had the courage and energy to control the capital army that he had always controlled. Perhaps it was because of this that Prince Yizhong was so impatient to take over from his father the inevitable future. Will fall into the key power in the hands of his brother Yonglong Emperor.

  Thinking of this, Feng Ziying felt that she could also feel the powerlessness and sorrow of an old emperor. His father's kindness and son's filial piety were all overwhelmed by the power struggle of the Tian family's children.

   "Ziying, are you worried about your future?" Lin Ruhai glanced at Feng Ziying who was following closely beside her.

   "Well, uncle, there are quite a few people who can see this situation, but it seems that many people have adopted a cold-eyed attitude, which makes my nephew very puzzled."

  Feng Ziying still had some thoughtful expression on her face.

"It's the same with several of my masters. Uh, my nephew thinks that even though it is a matter of the Tian family, the Tian family has no personal affairs. Once that kind of situation really occurs, I am afraid that there are civil servants who have never interfered with the succession of the Tian family's throne. It’s a common practice, but sometimes it’s unavoidable, isn’t it? The dispute between Zhu Di and Emperor Jianwen in the previous Ming Dynasty caused so much trouble, could it be that they all turned a blind eye to it?”

Lin Ruhai smiled, "Ziying, you are so smart, can't you see the difference between the two? Zhu Di had his own force in the north, and Emperor Jianwen controlled the whole country and had his own army. Waiting for the tragic situation, but what about Dazhou today? If Prince Yizhong and the emperor are fighting, they are actually fighting for the same force, which is the force of the Beijing camp in the capital city! Whoever gets the command of this army will have nothing to lose. It's suspenseful, isn't the Supreme Emperor still has a pivotal influence on the Beijing camp, so everyone dare not act rashly?"

  Feng Ziying shook her head, "Uncle, it's so simple? My nephew doesn't agree."

   "Oh?" Lin Ruhai was surprised.

   "What about Xuanfu and Jizhen?" Feng Ziying asked in a deep voice.

   "Impossible, the frontier army is absolutely impossible to participate in this kind of thing." Lin Ruhai shook his head again and again, "No general will be so unwise..."

"Uncle, you're talking about the past. Could it be that Wu Xun served as the governor of the nine border towns before? Li Chengliang's illustrious prestige was given to the Liaodong General Soldier. It can be said that the general is the limit for generals. , either there is no governor, or the governor is a civil servant, but now? The governor of Xuanda was set up, first Wang Ziteng, now Niu Jizong, um, the addition of the governor of Denglai, the governor of Jiliao, and finally gave it to Li Chengliang, now Li Chengliang quit, who will do it? How far is Xuanfu and Jizhen from the capital city? Within three days, soldiers can come to the city, who dares to say that soldiers from the nine sides cannot enter the capital?"

   "Even if the frontier army has a special order, if there is no cabinet and the Ministry of War, they are not allowed to enter the capital. They can be punished upon entering the city. This is the iron law set by the Taizu!" Lin Ruhai said every word.

This is also what Emperor Taihe did to prevent the frontier army from being involved in the Tian family's seizure of the throne and repeating the story of the previous Ming. .

"Uncle, in this critical period, the clauses written in the book may not be applicable. The dispatch of soldiers by the Ministry of War is transfer, but the emperor's decree is not transfer? Someone shouted 'Qing Jun punishes traitors', maybe some people are willing to listen, In the name of title, it is indeed useful when it works, but when it is useless, even if the emperor, the chief assistant and the Minister of the Ministry of War kneel before him and beg him to send troops, he may not be able to do it!"

  Feng Ziying's rebellious words made Lin Ruhai's expression change drastically, and he looked around subconsciously, "Shut up! Ziying, you are too presumptuous! Are you dying?!"

"Uncle, it's just the two of us here. In front of someone else, even the master, I would never say this. Well, my nephew will not admit it when I step out of the garden." Feng Ziying was frightened when she saw Lin Ruhai Enough, quickly comforted.

   "You, you are simply crazy!" Lin Ruhai now understood what kind of person the son-in-law he was going to recruit was, and he was even a little worried about his daughter's future.

Why is this guy so full of lawless thoughts in his heart? No wonder he dared to go into the grassland alone to negotiate with Bushitu. Only he can think of such a strategy to open the sea. No wonder he dared to stop Yushi and hurt the salt merchant Ruthless, only he dares to act so boldly, he is only seventeen years old!

  This guy doesn't have much respect for the court at all, but it's hard to grasp the clues in his daily performance.

Like moving salt merchants, this guy has already settled the Yangzhou Mansion and Yangzhou Bingbei Road, and then arranged for the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to take over the business. This guy must be bold but careful, no wonder Qi Yongtai , Qiao Yingjia and Guan Yingzhen dared to let him be in charge of the overall situation.

"Uncle, my nephew sometimes doesn't want to think that way, but the changing situation has forced my nephew to think in that direction. It may not be convenient for the teachers to get involved in some things due to their identities, but the current status of my nephew, the emperor Blue eyes are added, my father may take over as the governor of the three sides, and he will marry the daughter of the Shen family and your daughter, and my nephew can be entangled with either side, and my nephew seems to be deeply trapped in it now, and I can't extricate myself."

  Feng Ziying pretended to be helpless.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry too much about Uncle Yu, just do it according to your own ideas, but Uncle Yu is very curious, do your teachers just let you do this? There is no plan to arrange the next step for you? "Lin Ruhai looked at Feng Ziying.

"You are currently compiling from the sixth rank. According to the usual practice, the second-rank Jinshi will be promoted to the third rank after three years. You can go to the fifth rank. Didn't you consider putting it outside? This can also avoid some unnecessary storms, and at the same time You can also avoid some criticisms and accusations, you are only seventeen, you are too excellent in all aspects, perfect, too enviable, I am afraid that even the emperor may not care much now, but I am afraid that in the future, he will be a little jealous."

   "Uncle means that the nephew should defile himself to protect himself?" Feng Ziying asked.

"It's not necessary now. However, if a person has no weaknesses or hobbies, he will always attract all kinds of suspicions. I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Besides, you are still so young, have sex, wealth, fame and fortune. If you don't take it to heart, it's normal. What? If even the censor can’t find something to say, what do you think everyone will think? It’s impossible for a disciple of a sage to be like this.” Lin Ruhai also felt conflicted.

  Feng Ziying nodded silently, "My nephew understands."

  Actually, Qiao Yingjia also reminded him of this matter very vaguely, but he didn't make it so clear.
