"Father, is this not a reason?" Feng Ziying said unceremoniously: "If the emperor really intends to make Prince Lu the crown prince, then he should not let Prince Shou, Prince Fu and Prince Li go to observe and manage politics. At this time,
If I try to change my ways, I'm afraid I'm bringing my own disaster."
Feng Tang didn't know that what his son said was reasonable, but when it came to the emperor's tendencies, many of them were unreasonable.
Everyone prefers sons who are like themselves in every aspect. Prince Lu and Prince Gong are obviously more popular with the emperor, but they are both underage princes.
The other three princes have all grown up for a long time. In the past two years, they have also gone to various ministries to observe and inquire about government affairs with the consent of the emperor. They have accumulated some experience and have not made any mistakes. Now they suddenly want to say this
None of the three are suitable. If you want to elect a prince who is not yet under age to be the crown prince, it will definitely arouse the opposition of the courtiers in the court.
"Forget it, Ziying, let's not get involved in this kind of thing. The emperor has his own ideas. I believe the emperor will eventually understand the right and wrong." Feng Tang shook his head, "We should do our own thing."
"My son is afraid that we don't want to get involved, but we can't avoid it." Feng Ziying also shook her head. He didn't quite agree with his father's view. Can he escape? In his position as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, sometimes he has no way to avoid it.
Avoidable.
"Ziying, you are a civil servant. If there is really trouble, it will also be the Third Battalion of the Beijing Camp and the Five-City Military and Horse Division. I am a little worried that You Shigong's Ji Town will also be involved, but what does it matter now?
What's the meaning?" Feng Tang spread his hands and put down the chopsticks in his hands, "I wrote to him and asked myself to be careful and remember one sentence: without the emperor's personal decree and the cabinet and the Ministry of War's countermeasures, the Jizhen Army cannot enter the capital city.
So as not to give others a handle, and to avoid being taken advantage of."
"But father, if the Jizhen Army obeys your wishes, what about the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army? What if something unexpected happens?" Feng Ziying asked, looking directly at her father.
Feng Tang hesitated for a moment and did not answer.
"Father, it still needs to be decided according to the situation. Brother You also asked him to act with the camera. If you are not sure, you can contact me first. At least I can see it clearly in the capital city." Feng Ziying looked at her father.
Requires father's authorization.
Feng Tang was hesitant, not because he didn't believe his son, but because he was worried that once he got involved in such a thing, he would never be able to escape. He didn't like to get involved in such things the least.
"Father, I won't act rashly, but I still have to guard against some accidents. Brother You came out with you, and it was you who pushed him to the position of commander-in-chief of Jizhen. But under the capital city, he has control over
If something happens to the most elite and closest frontier army in the Gyeonggi region, and it becomes an uncontrollable regret due to being stuck in the old routine, I'm afraid that's not what you and I want to see."
Feng Ziying tried her best to persuade her father that Shuntian Prefecture and Capital City were too sensitive and no better than Yongping Prefecture. Without her father to give You Shigong a special explanation, she would never have thought of mobilizing soldiers from Ji Town.
But the situation before her did not allow Feng Ziying not to take precautions just in case. However, once her father went to the northwest, out of sight and out of mind, he couldn't escape, so he had to keep a trump card just in case.
Of course Feng Tang knew what Feng Ziying was worried about. Niu Jizong's Xuanfu Army and Datong Army were also the elite of the elite, even more powerful than the Jizhen Army. They were just a little further away from the capital, but they were completely safe.
Dusi's side was also very close, and it only took a day for the Xuanfu army to enter Shuntianfu from Yanqing or Huailai.
Feng Tang sighed, but finally agreed to Feng Ziying's request and agreed to send a letter to You Shigong, but also asked Feng Ziying to promise that he would never let You Shigong act rashly unless it was absolutely necessary.
Feng Ziying can also understand the father's caution. After all, interfering with the Tian family to seize the heir is not as simple as overstepping the authority in ordinary wars. The foreign emperor's life will be affected. This refers to resisting foreign enemies, but the seizing of the heir within the Tian family is completely different.
They are two different things, and their natures are completely different. Once you stand in the wrong direction, it will be a disaster.
Therefore, he will not act rashly, and he will not use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.
Feng Ziying told her father about the affairs in Rongguo Mansion again.
Logically speaking, my father is not very interested in things like concubinage, but the concubine is actually Jia She's daughter. Even though she is a concubine, she is still a little sensitive.
"Ziying, will Marquis Jia En agree?" Feng Tang found it incredible, "The daughter of a concubine is also the daughter of the Jia family. If someone becomes a concubine, he is not afraid of damaging the reputation of the Jia family. Who dares to say that you should
If my sister becomes a concubine, I will definitely beat her out with a stick."
"Father, do you still think Rongguo Mansion is so prosperous now?" Feng Ziying shook her head, "Times have changed, and the Jia family has long been in decline. Look at these four kings, eight princes and ten princes after the defeat of Santun Camp in Beijing last year.
Almost all the children of the Second Marquis were purged, and the emperor had long been impatient with these Wu Xun children who were living without food. After the Ningxia rebellion, the Shi family of the Duke of Xiu was confiscated and expelled. The Ma family of the Duke of the state was in ruins.
The Duke of Guo, Duke of Li, and Duke of Qi all suffered. They were relegated and imprisoned. The reason why the two Dukes of Rongning survived by chance was not because the emperor was lenient, but because they were in decline compared to the other families.
Even more thorough, they had no influence at all, and the emperor didn't even bother to take action against them. Of course, it might also be because Uncle Zheng Shi's eldest daughter was a concubine in the palace, but the son thought that was not the main reason, but because of Jia Jia
The family has declined to the point where it is no longer worth mentioning in the eyes of the emperor..."
"As for the four kings, hehe, except for King Beijing, he is a little more active. Look at the princes of Dongping County, Nan'an County and Xining County.
After all, his fame and influence are not as great as those of the four princes and eight princes, and to be honest, there are still some outstanding children, so the emperor did not specifically target him. For example, the He Zhisheng of the He family was also promoted, wasn't it? But in general
, these martial arts disciples are gradually disappearing from the crowd, this is an indisputable fact."
Feng Ziying's words were very harsh, but they were true. Even Feng Tang couldn't help but sigh.
"So you want to take the daughter of the Jia family as a concubine?" Feng Tang still found it a bit difficult to accept, "Why did you think of taking the daughter of the Marquis of Jia En as your concubine? There must be many jasper from small families in the capital city, you want to take a concubine
It doesn’t have to be Naja’s daughter, right?”
"Father, although Uncle Shi Shi is a bit miserable, his daughter is an honest and honest person. Hasn't mother always been looking forward to someone giving birth to an heir for the Feng family as soon as possible? Wan Jun still needs to rest, Xue and You
There has been no movement yet. The second girl from the Jia family has a suitable physique, and her mother and aunt have both seen her, so..."
When Feng Tang heard about the issue of heirs and that the second girl from the Jia family was physically fit, Feng Tang immediately had no objection.
Nothing is as important as the Feng family's incense. Seeing that Ziying has been married for two years and has several wives and concubines, but only Shen has given birth to a daughter. How can this not make Feng Tang, who guards the border all day long, anxious?
He also told his wife several times that he might as well have more concubines, even if they were born from concubines, as long as they were male heirs. At this time, he didn't care about the attitudes of Shen and Xue. If they failed to give birth to an heir, then it would be okay.
Can't blame anyone.
"Well, since you have this intention and the Jia family has no objections, then you and your mother can just take care of it. Just don't make the back house uneasy." Feng Tang waved his hand.
"If my father is leaving in a few days, it may be too late to come in right now, but my son still plans to find an opportunity for the daughter of the Jia family to come over and meet her father and mother..." Logically speaking, taking a concubine does not require so many etiquette, but Jia
After all, the family is one family and two men, so they should be given some face. Feng Ziying also considered it more carefully, which can be regarded as giving Jia Yingchun more face.
"Oh, you can figure it out." Feng Tang nodded.
Feng Ziying told her father about the marriage between Jia Baoyu and the Niu family, but Feng Tang had no attitude towards this marriage.
Although the Jia family and the Feng family are family friends, their closeness is limited. They only became closer in the past few years. They are far less close than Jia Shi Wang Xue and the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. It is not the turn of outsiders to comment on the marriage between the Jia Niu family.
Three ways and four.
As for some of Feng Ziying's worries, Feng Tang felt that they were too unfounded. Although Niu Jixun and Niu Jizong were brothers, Niu Jixun married the eldest princess Yongning, and his relationship with her brother had always been estranged. With the eldest princess Yongning's relationship, even if
If there is anything, it won't involve the Jia family.
Feng Tang got the confidence, and Feng Ziying felt much more at ease, and her mood improved a lot when she went to Rongguo Mansion.
In the afternoon, he asked for leave from Wu Daonan and went straight to Rongguo Mansion.
Baoyu's marriage can be regarded as a clear answer. Jia Zheng has explained that he has tried his best. If others don't agree with his opinion, then let it go.
The matter of borrowing money requires a meeting with Li Wan or Tanchun. It is a trivial matter. It is just an opportunity to meet the third sister, who is said to have lost a lot of weight.
The other thing is to go and discuss business with Jia She, and welcome the Spring Festival.
Feng Ziying considered that it would be better to recruit Yingchun as early as possible in September or October, so as to reassure Yingchun.
In addition, if time permits, Feng Ziying will also go to see Lin Daiyu. After not going for a long time, I don't know how much resentment Sister Lin has in her heart.
This girl is very petty and has to be coaxed frequently. Although she usually brings a message or writes a letter, it is nothing compared to meeting to express her love for her. Feng Ziying is not worried about her body and bones, and she needs more.
I was relieved and told that this girl should exercise, not to pass the exam next year and still be very sick, which makes me worried.
