"Prince Gong? Zhang Ji?" King Zhongshun was surprised. He glanced at Feng Ziying, who was also confused, and then at Prince Lu Zhang Su, who seemed slightly surprised. He shook his head, "Ruolan, Zhang Ji is a
Someone came?"
Prince Gong Zhang Ji is only ten years old, but he can actually come here in person?
"No, it was a housekeeper from Prince Gong's residence who came with him." Wei Ruolan slowly regained her composure.
As the son of the eldest princess, he has a keener and deeper understanding of such things than ordinary people.
Today, Zhang So and Zhang Li came to Feng Ziying's house to congratulate each other unexpectedly. If Zhang So may have done it on his own initiative, or it may be because there is a very scheming Concubine Mei behind him, then his younger age is obviously not enough.
Zhang Li, who may have understood the secret, was obviously because behind him stood faintly the governor of the three sides, Chen Jingxuan, and the Minister of War, Zhang Jingqiu.
King Zhongshun and King Lu Zhang So both exchanged glances. Zhang So lowered his eyes and said nothing, but King Zhongshun smiled intriguingly and said, "Ziying, you'd better go and greet him. Although Zhang So is young, he is also the emperor's son.
I’m afraid I came here because I admire your reputation, Ziying, and maybe I want to take you as my teacher..."
Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Your Majesty is joking. It is well known throughout the city that Ziying is not good at poetry and prose. How can she be qualified to do anything in front of your Highnesses? Your Majesty and Your Highness Prince Lu will wait a moment. I will come as soon as I can."
Feng Ziying followed Wei Ruolan to the gate, and Wei Ruolan couldn't help but sigh: "Ziying, Prince Lu and Prince Gong all came to congratulate me in person. I see that Prince Shou, Prince Fu and Prince Li also spent a lot of money on their gifts."
No matter how much you think about it, your highnesses all value Ziying so much, which makes me a little envious."
"Ruolan, you are not envious, but you are secretly worried about me, right?" Feng Ziying walked forward calmly, "I understand, how can we get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Family? Your Highnesses are gradually growing up.
, His Royal Highness Prince Gong is almost eleven years old, that is, he will reach adulthood in more than three years. It is said that he has matured early. His Royal Highness Prince Lu is majestic and heroic, and he is also quite ambitious. Your other three cousins
Not to mention my brothers and cousins, how could the ministers in the DPRK not understand the whole story? It’s just that these matters are all decided by the Sacred Heart, so how can outsiders get in the way?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Wei Ruolan shook his head, "Even if the emperor is able to make decisions with a holy heart, he will not ignore the opinions of all his ministers. Our dynasty does not have regulations on establishing heirs and elders. It prefers to establish virtuous people, but virtuous people
One of the sayings is that wisdom is in the eye of the beholder..." After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ruolan whispered: "The current emperor is not that kind of mean, ungrateful and self-willed person. Before selecting talents, he must seek the opinions of all his ministers, so
…”
"So your highnesses want to show off in front of your ministers?" Feng Ziying laughed, "Then you should go to the cabinet and the six ministers to show off. What's the point of coming to me?"
"You are the famous Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan in the capital city! Not to mention your tutor, Mr. Qi Ge, the first and second assistants all value you very much. You have been summoned by the emperor alone several times in just a few years.
How many people are there in the court?"
Wei Ruolan is no longer the Wei Ruolan she was a few years ago. Feng Ziying has to admit that this guy is growing much faster than Han Qi and Chen Yejun. Of course, Chen Yejun still has some problems with him and his father.
Chen Jixian has always been like a fog, and even the emperor is probably still unsure about it, and it may not be revealed until a critical moment.
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm just a foreign official now. As time goes by, even if I have a small reputation, I will gradually be forgotten by people. A new generation will replace the old ones. After each subject, young talents will rise to the fore.
." Feng Ziying responded with a smile.
"Ziying, you don't need to be humble in front of me. Look at the year you went to Yongping Mansion, has your reputation in the capital faded at all? The emperor summoned you alone again, right? Who are the people in the capital during the Qian'an War?
I wonder whose credit it is? It only cost 200,000 taels to redeem 60,000 soldiers from the Mongols. Do you really think that everyone doesn’t know that you went to negotiate with the Mongolian noble chief alone?" Wei Ruolan chuckled, "Okay.
Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If you can join the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister in the future, I will naturally be happy. At least my mother is happy to see it happen. After all, we grew up together, and I will be able to speak to the clan's mansion in the future.
no?"
Feng Ziying sneered: "Ruolan, I don't believe you really want to live in the clan mansion for the rest of your life?"
"I don't want to go either, but with my status and my inability to study, how can I still join the court and serve as an official?" Wei Ruolan said with some self-mockery: "It's better than being an idle clan, and not being kept in a pen like a pig.
,…”
"Times have changed, Ruolan, who can say clearly what will happen in the future? The imperial court's maritime ban is not an iron law, and now it is also lifted
Did we become seven divisions during the Yonglong period?" Feng Ziying waved her hand: "Ruolan, if you are serious, don't waste your time and build up your momentum. You will eventually have a chance."
Wei Ruolan's eyes were bright and she looked at Ziying: "Ziying, have you heard some news? Don't try to lie to me."
Seeing that Wei Ruolan suddenly became energetic, Feng Ziying felt funny in her heart. It seemed that she still had a heart unwilling to be lonely. "Well, there is no point in talking too much. I have already said it. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
And you can make it clear, you and I are brothers, can I still harm you? Remember my words, it will definitely make sense."
"Okay, Ziying, I've written it down." Wei Ruolan took a deep breath and lowered her voice: "If you fail to fulfill it in the future, I will come to you and tell you, the future chief assistant!"
Feng Ziying glanced sideways at this guy and felt a little emotional.
There are hidden hints in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" that he and Shi Xiangyun seemed to have a marriage, but Feng Ziying knew that this was either the imagination of the so-called red experts, or that he came to this time and space and changed everything, but he still thought that the former
Mostly, given the current situation of the historians, how could Wei Ruolan, as the legitimate son of the eldest princess, like Shi Xiangyun?
And now Wei Ruolan has married a wife. She belongs to a prominent official family with eight hundred serious officials in the capital city. His wife's grandfather once served as a cabinet minister in the Guangyuan period, and his uncle also served as the left minister of the Ministry of Industry in the 20th year of Yuanxi. His father was a Juren
Although he was not a Chinese-style Jinshi by birth, he also served as the Prime Minister of Taipus Temple, and now he also has a cousin who serves as the chief registrar of Guanglu Temple. How can such a family background be compared to the historians who are now in decline?
Feng Ziying didn't answer and walked straight away, but Wei Ruolan was very interested and energetic.
At the door, Feng Ziying saw Zhang Ji, Prince Gong, who was said to have achieved great success early.
It has to be said that the current emperor's sons are all handsome men with red lips and white teeth in terms of appearance. Prince Lu Zhang is like this. Prince Gong Zhang who is only ten years old is also good-looking and has a pair of beautiful eyes.
His eyes are full of hope, and he can leave a deep impression at a glance.
"Master Feng, congratulations." Seeing Feng Ziying coming, Zhang Ji, who was still looking around with great interest at the guests, immediately stepped forward to congratulate him.
"I have met His Highness Prince Gong. It is a great honor for the Feng family to have His Highness Prince Gong come." Feng Ziying disliked such crazy talk, but she had to say, "Please come this way. Prince Zhongshun and His Highness Prince Lu are also here.
"
"Oh?" It's not surprising that King Zhongshun is here, but he didn't expect that his brother Zhang So was also there. According to Zhang Ji's knowledge, his brothers seemed to be acting as caretakers to bring gifts, and they didn't come in person. Why did Zhang So not come in person?
coming?
Although he was surprised in his heart, Zhang Ji's face did not show any strangeness at all. He said with a smile: "Uncle Wang and Seventh Brother are also there? That's great."
Emperor Yonglong had five sons who grew up, but in fact there were several more in between, but they all died young. In addition to King Shou being the eldest, King Fu and King Li were the third and fourth respectively, King Lu was the seventh, and King Zhang was the eldest.
Li is Laojiu.
Feng Ziying saw that the other party was still very measured at such a young age, and she admired him in her heart. Such a magnanimity would take some time to develop, so it was no wonder that the other sons of Emperor Yonglong were a little wary of this underage brother.
"Your Highness, please come this way." Feng Ziying also smiled and raised her hand.
The two brothers, Prince Lu and Prince Gong, were particularly affectionate when they met. The two brothers held hands and exchanged greetings for a while, acting like brothers and sisters. It was seen that Prince Zhongshun and Feng Ziying were both stroking their beards and stroking their chins.
"Ziying, are you a little surprised?" King Zhongshun said suddenly, but the expression on his face was half-smiling.
Feng Ziying blinked her eyes, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether you come or not. It's not a bad thing, right?"
Feng Ziying's words made King Zhongshun chew on them for a long time before he nodded: "That's right. This is not a bad thing. At least everyone has awareness of this aspect. It is better than living in confusion. As long as the emperor knows what he knows, it will be fine. But now, let's talk about it.
These are still a bit premature.”
This was a bit revealing, but from the perspective of Prince Zhongshun, Feng Ziying could understand that for Emperor Yonglong, it was far from considering the problems of his sons. He first needed to deal with the threat from Prince Yizhong.
.
The bringing of the two princes and Prince Zhongshun also added a lively atmosphere to Feng Ziying's marriage. Although Prince Lu and Prince Gong were the youngest among the princes of Emperor Yonglong, they were both granted titles.
Theoretically, these two princes will have the opportunity to ascend to the position of Dabao in the future. Among the guests, important officials such as Chai Ke and Guan Yingzhen will naturally not care too much, but some officials of the sixth and seventh grades have some ideas.
Naturally, they would not let go of such an opportunity to get acquainted with each other. They would all come up to chat and make themselves familiar.
Of course, Zhang So and Zhang Li were also willing to take this opportunity to get acquainted with these scholars and officials who could interact with Feng Ziying. Thinking from afar, it would also be a good thing if getting to know one or two could be used for themselves or to bring the two parties closer.
