After such a refreshing sleep, Feng Ziying even had the urge to just lie in bed and rest for a while. It was also a holiday anyway, so she could relax herself to avoid being too tense and too hard.
But often the more you want to relax, the less you will get. Before he could make up his mind whether to get up or not, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the study.
As soon as she heard the sound of footsteps, Feng Ziying knew that something was up, and anyone who could disturb her at this time could hardly escape the Ministry of War.
As expected, Baoxiang ran in panting and informed the left minister of the Ministry of War that he had summoned him to go to the official mansion of the Ministry of War to discuss military affairs immediately.
Feng Ziying knew that she was a newlywed, but she still came to cause trouble. Feng Ziying guessed that it was not a particularly urgent matter, and she would not come to see her, but what if she came to see herself?
I'm not a god, and I can't spread the beans into an army. I can only come up with some ideas.
Wherever there is a flaw, it is also the court's own problem. In fact, everyone knows that many problems will occur sooner or later, but they are unable to solve them. They can only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, and treat the headache and the head and the foot. Where is the most urgent, there will be
Fill it up first and deal with it.
Hearing that Feng Ziying was about to go out, Baochai and Baoqin followed him out.
"It's okay. Mr. Chai from the Ministry of War wants to invite you. I have no choice but to go. If it's someone else, I can push it away. But most of the matters at the Ministry of War involve military affairs in the border areas or the war situation in the southwest. Although my husband is a fellow magistrate of Yongping Prefecture.
, but first of all, he is an official of the imperial court, and it is his duty to serve the imperial court by taking care of its worries."
When Baochai and Baoqin heard that the left minister of the Ministry of War had called for an urgent call, they naturally understood that it must be an urgent military matter, and they thought of their husbands first. This was undoubtedly an honor. Even if the husband was not in his position, they still remained loyal and never looked back.
, which makes the two girls feel proud and proud.
"Business matters are important, so just go ahead. I and Baoqin will be waiting for your husband at home. Master Chai must be considerate of my husband's difficulties. Today is an auspicious day for Baoqin, so don't forget it..."
The first half of the sentence was spoken by Baochai in a tactful tone, but the second half of the sentence was inevitably a bit joking. Feng Ziying was naturally thick-skinned and didn't care, but Bao Qin was teased by Baochai until her face turned red and her beautiful eyes were affectionate.
He could tightly hold his sister's arm and shake her.
This shake affected Baochai's inconvenience, and Baochai also took a breath of cold air, which made Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh: "Sister, it's better to go back to the room to rest. My husband is still on vacation after all, so this voluntary help is quite interesting.
, there will be no delay, tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on the way back, my husband and Baoqin have not yet met in the golden wind and jade dew..."
Qin Guan's words were used by Feng Ziying at this time, which was inevitably a bit explicit. Besides, they were all a family, and Bao Qin was so ashamed that she covered her face with her sleeves and stamped her feet in anger.
Feng Ziying also knew that what she said was a bit too much, so she quickly restrained herself and said, "Well, you two sisters, please go back to your room quickly. My husband will be back as soon as possible..."
While talking, Feng Ziying ran away, leaving behind the two daughters Baochai and Baoqin as well as the two girls Ying'er and Lingguan.
"Sister, you said that my husband is not good at poetry, but why are you so familiar with Qin Guan's poems? I heard that my husband often wrote good poems at Qingtan Academy and Enrong Banquet, but he refused to admit that he wrote them...
…”
Bao Qin looked at the background of Feng Ziying's disappearance. She just took off her face-covering Guangxiu and supported Baochai and asked.
"After more than ten years of hard study, how can there be a scholar in the Imperial Academy who is not familiar with poetry? My husband's tutor is Mr. Qi Ge!" Baochai was very sure, "It's just that my husband is better at discussing current policies, and he feels that this poem is the most important thing in the world."
Military affairs are of no use, so I don't want to spend more time on them. Otherwise, how can I not be good at it with my talent?"
"My sister is right, my husband is born to do great things. There is no need to spend too much thought on it. Occasionally a good sentence is enough to convince everyone." Bao Qin also agreed, "The fate of everyone in the world is definitely not a few poems.
Changes in endowment can only be achieved by relying on national policies..."
After the Mei family broke off their engagement, she became even more disgusted with those pedantic scholars. Moreover, in comparison, Mei Hanlin was only a fifth-rank official in Shuntian Mansion, and the one she wanted to marry was just his concubine. Although she now
She was a concubine, but she was also given the concubine to Feng Ziying, who was also in the fifth rank. Everyone knew that Feng Ziying's official career was much brighter than that of Mei Zhiye, not to mention that his concubine himself was a mediocre person.
If the Prime Minister can really enter the cabinet and worship the Prime Minister in the future, then countless people will know how wise and correct their choice will be.
Feng Ziying arrived by car at the Ministry of War.
The Military Palace and the Zongren Mansion are far away from each other, close to East Chang'an Street. On the right is Luan Jiaku, and further on is Feng Ziying's earliest working place, the Hanlin Academy.
This area is facing the Altar of Sheji and the Ancestral Temple, and is squeezed between Yongfang Temple and Nanxunfang Temple in Dashi. It is basically where all the departments of the Zhou Dynasty are located, including the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, Taichang Temple, the General Affairs Department, and the Dragon Palace.
In addition to the other five of the six departments of the Ministry of Punishment, there are also the Imperial Palace, Qifang, Honglu Temple, Qintian Prison, Zongren Mansion, Luan Jiaku, Imperial Medicine Storehouse, Taiyuan Hospital, Shanglinyuanjian, Hanlin Academy, and Zhanshifudu.
The clouds gather here.
The Ministry of War's mansion is actually not that big. Except for the office areas of the four divisions on both sides, the main hall in the middle and the two adjacent rows of houses are where the ministers, ministers and some of their subordinate officials have their offices.
Compared with the tense atmosphere when I came to the Ministry of War last time, although I saw people coming and going this time, the expressions of the officials who came and went did not show much anxiety and fear, and Feng Ziying felt much more at ease.
Meeting Wang Yingxiong head-on made Feng Ziying quite happy: "Feixiong, when did you come back? I didn't see you yesterday..."
Wang Yingxiong apologized first, and then said: "I just returned to Beijing last night. I didn't remember to catch up with your happy event. I was called here by the adults early this morning to discuss the military situation. I'm afraid you don't know that Shuixi'an's family seems to be here too."
Together with Yang Yinglong and the Yongshun She family, this rebellion will probably spread to the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Huguang."
Although it was expected, Feng Ziying's heart still sank. Yesterday, Lian Guoshi and Yang Sichang took the time to briefly mention this matter to him. At that time, they were just worried that the Shui Xi'an family would get involved, but now it has been implemented.
The strength of the An family in Shuixi is not inferior to that of the Yang family in Bozhou. Once the An family is involved, the entire Guizhou will be in danger. Guizhou only began to change its land and return it to its people in the pre-Ming Dynasty. The situation itself is very complicated. The land of its people is intertwined. If Guizhou is once in chaos
, it will inevitably affect the entire southern Sichuan and western Huguang, which will be a big trouble.
These three are just the strongest among the southwestern toasts, and there are even more small toasts. They are more interested in the attitude of these big toasts. Once Dazhou cannot show the strength to suppress these big toasts,
These little toasts will immediately turn towards these big toasts.
"This is expected. Master Zhang and Master Chai should both be prepared." Feng Ziying comforted Wang Yingxiong. Wang Yingxiong was from Chongqing. Once these three chieftains all participated in the rebellion, Chongqing would be in danger.
"It's not just that." Wang Yingxiong had a strange look on his face, as if he was considering something.
"What's wrong, Fei Xiong? Is there anything else you can hide from me?" Feng Ziying pretended to be displeased.
"Ziying, I went to the southwest this time and visited a lot of places. I went to see Brother Chucai, Mr. Sun and Yang Wenruo's father. I felt thick calluses on my feet. I also learned a lot about the people in the country.
I couldn't see anything that I couldn't hear in the capital city, so I reported to the minister and several other doctors when I came back."
Wang Yingxiong shook his head solemnly: "I have lived in my hometown for so many years, but I have never felt that it is so complicated. Now I feel that the people under the rule of the chieftain are miserable, and the people are still miserable under the rule of the official. It turns out that there are still some misunderstandings.
After this trip..., the local people, especially those from Miao Yao, had no loyalty to the imperial court, and were even extremely hostile and hateful..."
Feng Ziying understood the meaning of Wang Yingxiong's words, that is, the imperial government's governance in the southwest was relatively poor or even failed. These rebel chieftains in the southwest were largely the result of the imperial court's incompetence in governing this area and the failure of governance. If the imperial court could not
If we win this battle, in the future Yunnan and Guizhou may become like Jiuxuanweisi in the pre-Ming Dynasty, such as Jiugang, Babaidadian, and Dagula, gradually losing control.
"It's not surprising. The process of reforming the country is a step-by-step process. It can only be promoted when the time is right. If it is not pushed forward forcefully before it is mature, it will cause chaos."
Feng Ziying is very open-minded about this problem. Only when the agricultural and industrial and commercial economies of the Zhou Dynasty have developed to a certain stage and formed a crushing gap for the ethnic minority areas in these border areas, will they gradually be overtaken by these advanced and developed economies.
They are attracted by models and business transactions, and then accept these advanced scientific things.
"But now that chaos has taken hold, the chaos in the southwest is inevitable. If the imperial court loses this battle..."
Wang Yingxiong's dejection surprised Feng Ziying. He didn't seem to give up easily when encountering setbacks. He said, "Feixiong, what's wrong with you? Besides, the chaos is nothing more than prolonging the time and making the court pay more."
, don’t you still believe that the imperial court can’t win over these rabble?”
"A mob? Not necessarily, Ziying." Wang Yingxiong shook his head and hesitated for a long time before lowering his voice: "I suspect that the Denglai army is deliberately avoiding the battle, and even has some kind of tacit understanding with these chieftains!"
One stone stirred up thousands of waves. Even though Feng Ziying was calm, she was also confused by this sentence: "Fei Xiong, do you have any evidence?! This can't be nonsense!"
"Of course not. If there were, I would have reported it to the two adults long ago." Wang Yingxiong said sternly: "I just have a feeling that the behavior of the Denglai Army is too weird, but if you want to find a reason to explain those situations, it makes sense.
, but that would be too much of a coincidence.”
This bad mood lasted until Feng Ziying returned home in the evening and saw Baochai and Baoqin's two beauties.
