Looking at Wei Ruolan's depressed and constipated expression, Feng Ziying was extremely funny in her heart.
This guy is still a bit immature. He must have been ordered by his family to come here to find a way, but this way is not that easy to find?
"Well, Ziying, they all say that you are the leader in the capital in our lifetime, with unparalleled intelligence and intelligence. I won't hide it from you. Although Jia Yan is not as favored as Aunt Yongning, the emperor is still
To take care of the brother-sister relationship, I am also thinking about finding a position in the clan's mansion in the future. If this offends the emperor, won't this plan come to nothing in the future?"
Wei Ruolan scratched her head in embarrassment while thinking about her words.
"That's why I came back and asked Ziying to come up with an idea for Brother Yu to see how we can find a way to get the best of both worlds. Otherwise, Ziying, please analyze it for Brother Yu and see who among these cousins is most likely to achieve great success.
, so that Jia Ci can be more cautious when speaking in front of the emperor in the future..."
Feng Ziying laughed and tapped her fingers, "Brother Ruolan, let me tell you, you want to avoid trouble and stay away from right and wrong. You clearly want to get closer and plan to follow the dragon earlier."
Wei Ruolan rubbed his face, knowing that he could not hide this wisdom from his childhood friend, so he simply confessed: "Brother Yu, I won't hide it anymore. This time, the iron fence mountain autumn will basically determine the direction of the establishment.
The Emperor pays special attention to it. Jia Ci heard that all the ministers in the cabinet and the seven important ministers will probably go to Tienwang Mountain one after another. Our royal family members are no exception. All the princes and eldest princesses also have the opportunity to interview the emperor alone. However,
It is said to be a private interview, but it is inevitable that the emperor’s servants will be nearby during the conversation, so no one can keep it secret, so..."
"So choose the lesser of two evils and the greater of two benefits. Since we can't avoid it, we naturally have to choose the one who is most likely to win?" Feng Ziying continued.
Wei Ruolan had completely dropped the burden at this time and said calmly: "That's exactly what I meant."
Feng Ziying is not surprised. As a civil servant and a young scholar, her status is not that high. In theory, whichever prince ascends to the throne has little to do with her. In addition, the Wei and Feng families have been friends for many years.
Wei Ruolan's personal relationship is here, so it is reasonable to come to him for advice.
"Well, this idea is correct, but does the emperor show any tendency at the moment? Do you know anything about it?" Feng Ziying nodded slightly and asked.
Wei Ruolan didn't hide anything at this time and told the truth: "I must have done some research before to find out. I originally thought that the emperor fell in love with Zhang So. Concubine Mei has always been favored. Zhang So is the most like the emperor, and I have just reached adulthood.
, with a good reputation and a good reputation, and studying at Qingtan Academy, he is naturally the most popular candidate. Even Uncle Jiu is optimistic about it, so he recommends Qian Guozhong as the leader of the Shenji Camp. Therefore, Jia Ci also feels that it is most suitable to follow Uncle Jiu. Who
I once thought that the emperor suddenly appointed Uncle Ten as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp and the General of the Fifth Army Camp, and that as soon as he took office, he dismantled the Shenji Camp and had a huge quarrel with Qian Guozhong..."
Wei Ruolan also knew that these dirty things in the Tian family were no secret in front of Feng Ziying, the Prime Minister of Shuntian, so there was no mental barrier to talking about these inside stories.
Before coming here, her mother had specifically warned her not to regard Feng Ziying as her childhood friend. Feng Ziying was able to sit in the position of Shuntianfu Cheng by no means relying on connections, and she did it impressively without enough skill.
Courage is simply impossible, and he is told to regard Feng Ziying as a guiding light who can teach the truth and resolve doubts, and to maintain a correct mentality.
Wei Ruolan also made repeated calculations on the way here. When he came here, he had been coy before, but when he saw that others had already seen through it, he stopped pretending and showed his cards. He just wanted to follow the dragon, that is, to
Benefit from it.
"So you think the emperor doesn't think highly of King Lu?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
"Well, Jia Ci is worried that King Lu will become another uncle. Although everyone is optimistic about it on the surface, it is actually inappropriate. More importantly, it is said that the majority of the officials in the court still think that King Lu is too young.
Tends to stand tall,..."
Wei Ruolan paused for a moment, "Kejia Ci thinks that King Shou is frivolous..."
"You don't want to be like a human being? I don't know how many people have been harmed by these words, and now it is blamed on King Shou. Well, indeed, this King Shou seems to be a bit frivolous..." Feng Ziying picked up the words, and then pouted
Smiling, "frivolous, well, this word is indeed lethal, so King Fu is not frivolous? It has also passed through the gossip between him and Zhou Guifei. Didn't Prince Li also say that he was the guest of Jiangdong Qin Shen Su Miao?
?”
Wei Ruolan scratched her head again with some annoyance, "Yes, these rumors started to spread a few days before the emperor left the capital. That's why Jia Ci is now confused and doesn't know how to answer the emperor then.
This is not something that can be fooled by just saying a few words. You know the emperor's temperament, so you either don't say anything, or you have to say something meaningful... But the emperor accepted his fate and appointed his tenth uncle as the capital camp.
Jiedushi, this makes it difficult for everyone to understand..."
"What don't you understand about this? Isn't it that the emperor hasn't made up his mind yet and is waiting for you to give him some advice so that he can make up his mind?" Feng Ziying said lightly.
"Ziying, Jiaci thinks that the emperor is a man with ideas. He may not have made up his mind due to the influence of various factors, but he must be leaning towards it. But we are not sure who he is leaning towards, so we don't dare to take risks."
Wei Ruolan said calmly: "That's why I wanted to ask you to help analyze and give me some ideas."
Wei Ruolan was frank, but Feng Ziying had already made some clear decisions in his heart, but he didn't know whether the emperor's tendency would affect the attitude of the important ministers in the court, or whether the attitude of the important ministers in the court would overthrow the emperor.
After all, Emperor Yonglong had not yet made up his mind, and the attitude of the courtiers was crucial.
But Feng Ziying will not be exposed in front of Wei Ruolan.
"The reason why you are not sure is because King Zhonghui serves as the Jiedushi, which makes you feel that the emperor wants to restrict Qian Guozhong, and Qian Guozhong and Concubine Mei are cousins?" Feng Ziying asked lightly.
Wei Ruolan glanced at Feng Ziying in surprise and nodded, "If it weren't for the emperor's instruction, how could Uncle Ten dismantle the Shenji Battalion when he took office, and also integrate several elite troops from the newly formed Shenji Battalion into the Fifth Army Camp?"
"Qian Guozhong is Prince Gong's cousin, but Prince Zhonghui is the uncle of all the princes, including Prince Gong. What's the difference?" Feng Ziying asked rhetorically.
Wei Ruolan was confused and didn't know what Feng Ziying meant.
"Also, besides Prince Zhongshun, who else recommended Qian Guozhong as the commander-in-chief of the Shenji Camp?" Feng Ziying continued to ask: "If the position of commander-in-chief of the Shenji Camp is not approved by the emperor, it will be recommended by the cabinet ministers.
They're all equally useless, Ruolan, don't you understand the meaning behind this?"
Wei Ruolan suddenly realized, "In addition to Uncle Jiu recommending Qian Guozhong, there is also Lu Song..."
Who is Lu Song? He is probably the person who understands the emperor's thoughts best, even better than Uncle Jiu.
Also, if the leader of the Shenji camp does not conform to the emperor's wishes, it is impossible for him to nod.
In addition, Ziying said that King Zhonghui is everyone’s uncle, including Prince Gong? Well, the implication is that King Zhonghui will be impartial?
Wei Ruolan was originally an extremely smart person, and she had been nurtured by her father and her mother, who was the eldest princess, in the Wei family since she was a child. How could she not understand the affairs of the Tian family and realize the flavor: "Ziying, you said the tenth uncle is
Everyone’s uncle, that means the emperor is afraid of..."
"The emperor has always been kind, and I am afraid that he would not like to see these brothers cooking beans and burning beans. However, in the future, only one of the princes will be able to ascend the throne. The emperor has officially achieved his goal by using King Zhonghui as the governor of the capital camp. Perhaps
He wanted to use this method to avoid unnecessary bloodshed," Feng Ziying said calmly.
Wei Ruolan suddenly felt that she understood, and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you Ziying for your advice. It was like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, which immediately made Brother Yu's heart light up..."
"Ruolan, don't say it so early. Maybe I just figured out some of the emperor's thoughts, but it may not be accurate. Secondly, will the emperor's thoughts be implemented and become reality?" Feng Ziying said leisurely: "I'm afraid.
Not necessarily."
Wei Ruolan disagreed at this time, "Ziying, I know what you mean. It's just that the courtiers still prefer to establish a chief. But looking at our great dynasty, establishing a chief has never been a key factor. Otherwise, the emperor would not be able to sit on this throne."
The location is..."
"That's not entirely true..." Feng Ziying Xinxiang herself is still not sure. If she wants to say more, it will be hard to say in the future. "In short, you understand my point of view. As for the variables, Ruolan, you can
Understand, there are too many, just take care of yourself..."
The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to Chen Yejun.
"Didn't you say that Brother Yejun went south to Xuzhou with his father?" Feng Ziying asked in surprise: "When did he come back again?"
Chen Yejun was no longer in the Imperial Academy. His father was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town and was awarded an official title. Chen Yejun also received the official title thanks to his kindness, and was directly assigned a sinecure position from the eighth rank, which was considered a tribute to Chen Jixian.
Reward.
"I said I came back to clean up the things at home. I said I left in a hurry before, so I came back, but I may have to leave again soon." Wei Ruolan said casually: "I met him on Huichang Street the day before yesterday and talked for a while.
I mean, he seems to be disposing of some old items in Huichang Street..."
"Huichang Street?" Feng Ziying was stunned. Huichang Street is between Taipusi and Taiyechi. Go south to the right and you will reach West Chang'an Street. It is a famous street for antiques, calligraphy and painting, and is also frequented by many brokers.
, specializes in handling valuable items that are difficult to sell for some wealthy families, including mansions and estates across the country, and can also help with connections with high-ranking officials.
Some of the Jia family's properties are also sold by specialized brokers on Huichang Street, which can keep them confidential and get a good price.
