It can be seen that Shen Yixiu is really good to Qingwen, and Qingwen is also extremely loyal to Shen Yixiu. This pair of master and servant was brought together by his groom, but unexpectedly, it is better than many who have followed him since childhood. of.
If Qingwen is really able to give birth to a son and a half daughters, it is not a big deal to take a concubine from her first wife. This is mainly a matter of convincing the public. Giving birth to a son and a daughter is the best thing to rely on.
Regarding these matters in Houwei's house, even if it involves raising a concubine, Shen Yixiu, as the legitimate wife, has the right to take control. It can be said that as long as she does not object, Qingwen can raise a concubine, Baochai, or Daiyu. Well, even my own mother has no right to interfere.
A burst of sleepiness came over, Feng Ziying said yes and said no more. Shen Yixiu also knew that Feng Ziying agreed, and Qingwen finally took a reassurance, and her future life was guaranteed. The prerequisite was to give birth to a boy. If you are half a woman, you have to rely on your own abilities to compete with your belly.
Seeing that her husband was sleepy and drowsy, Shen Yixiu curled up his legs, padded them with cushions, moved his body to the side, and then motioned Qingwen to go to bed next to Feng Ziying.
Qingwen hesitated for a moment. In the past, Feng Ziying usually went to bed in her room after getting married, but today was the first time for Qingwen in her grandma's room.
"Go, he's tired too. You have to stay close to him and let him hold him so that he can sleep peacefully. I have to take it easy now." Shen Yixiu ordered.
Qingwen couldn't resist Shen Yixiu, so she could only sleep next to Feng Ziying uneasily. Feng Ziying was confused and put her arms around the waist of the woman next to her, and then she fell asleep soundly.
After a good sleep, Feng Ziying woke up and found that Shen Yixiu had actually gotten up, and the person she was holding in her arms was Qingwen. She asked in surprise: "Where is your grandma?"
"Grandma got up first. Grandma's second master is coming today." Qingwen wanted to get up slightly uncomfortably, but Feng Ziying's hand was still on her chest to play with.
"Jun Yong is coming?" Feng Ziying nodded, guessing that it was probably the end of his political watch, and Shen Zizheng was about to choose the next step to become an official, to seek his and Shen Yixiu's opinions.
Although it is said that the end of Jinshi's observation of government affairs is uniformly arranged by the Ministry of Officials, there is still a sense of worldliness here.
Those who go out of the capital to go to other places, such as Honglu Temple, Taipu Temple or the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, which seem to have high positions but have no future, are also differentiated among the seven departments. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites are also good, but the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Commerce are slightly inferior. If you can go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section, now it is the Seventh Section, that is different. It is not inferior to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. .
Shen Zizheng was indeed here to seek advice.
My brother-in-law has returned to Beijing, and the news has spread that he has been appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of War. Shen Zizheng, his brother-in-law, also has to come to congratulate him, and also seek advice on where he is going.
According to Feng Ziying's opinion, these inexperienced Jinshi should first go to Fuzhou and counties to hone their skills and accumulate political experience. It is not good to go to the ministry as soon as they come.
But if I make such a suggestion, I'm afraid that Shen Yixiu will be unhappy. Even the top two Jinshis will go to Xiazhou County? Isn't this self-degradation?
"If you want to be truly trained and don't go to the prefectures and counties, you can only go to the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment." Feng Ziying said calmly.
"I know that the Ministry of Husbandry is in a difficult situation at the moment, and it must be the one that trains people the most, but I don't like the Ministry of Husbandry very much. There are so many talented people in the Ministry of War, so I won't join in the fun. I don't know why, Ziying, you said that the Ministry of Justice is also training people. "Where?" Shen Zizheng was very curious. The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Industry have always been ranked last, worse than the Ministry of Commerce. Why did this brother-in-law say they were a good place to go?
"Fengzhou Bailian colluded with the Tumut people and joined forces to invade the border, Jun Yong, you know, right?" Feng Ziying saw Shen Zizheng nodding and continued: "Shanxi, Beizhi and Shandong are all areas where the White Lotus religion is rampant. Fengzhou Bailian started an incident , it is bound to connect with Bai Lian in the North, so the absolute focus of the Ministry of Punishment in the future is to investigate and suppress Bai Lian. I heard that the imperial court intends to let Long Jinwei, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Beijing Camp cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment to investigate and suppress Bai Lian, so as to establish their attention. , if Jun Yong can make some achievements there, then his career prospects will be much brighter in the future."
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Shen Zizheng was a little hesitant.
He originally hoped to go to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Rites, but there are many talented people in the Ministry of War, such as Yang Sichang, Wang Yingxiong, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu. People like Yang Sichang, Wang Yingxiong, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu are all in or going to the Ministry of War. It may not be possible to show his ability by going by himself. As for the Ministry of Rites, the nobles are, as Feng Ziying said, But without much training, the Ministry of Punishment is the last choice, but if there are many opportunities, it is not impossible.
Shen Yixiu was also a little nervous, "Ziying, if Jun Yong goes to the Criminal Department, what danger will there be? The White Lotus cult bandits are all desperadoes, and Jun Yong doesn't know any martial arts."
Feng Ziying laughed and said, "According to what you said, those in the Ministry of War must not be brave enough to win the three armies. Do you think Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong are both brave men who rush into battle and kill generals? The head of the Ministry of Punishment is more concerned with analysis and judgment. Jun Yong is cheerful and serious about his comprehensive ability in logical reasoning. I think he might as well go to the Ministry of Punishment to hone his skills. Choose one of the Qing officials in Shandong, Shanxi or even Beizhi to give it a try and stay there for two years. It will be beneficial to his lifelong growth.
After hearing what Feng Ziying said, Shen Zizheng also knew that Feng Ziying would not harm him, so he was inclined to go to the Ministry of Punishment, but he said that he had to consider it, and he also had to see what arrangements were made by the Ministry of Personnel.
Feng Ziying smiled and said nothing. This guy was obviously moved, and wanted to help communicate with him, but he refused to say it out loud.
He didn't care either. It was reasonable for his brother-in-law to help. Moreover, Shen Zizheng went to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the activities of the White Lotus Sect in the North. It was beneficial and harmless.
As a sister, Shen Yixiu didn't understand what his brother was thinking, so he changed the subject with a smile. Just when Tong Niang came, she naturally came to get close to her uncle when she saw him. Shen Yixiu asked Shen Zizheng to take Tong Niang with him. Go out and have some fun.
"Ms. sir, is it appropriate for Jun Yong to go to the Ministry of Punishment?"
"No problem. Uncle Fang is also planning to go from the Experience Department to the Shandong Qing Officials Department. The focus is to investigate the problem of the White Lotus Sect. If Jun Yong goes, he can go to the Yunnan Qing Officials Department. Feng Ziying saw Shen Yixiu's puzzled face and explained with a smile: " The three prefectures of Shuntian, Yongping and Guangping are under the jurisdiction of the Yunnan Qing Li Department."
The Great Zhou Dynasty followed the former Ming Dynasty, and there were no Qing officials in the northern and southern Zhili provinces. They were all managed by the Qing officials in other provinces. For example, Shuntian, Yongping and Guangping were in charge of Yunnan, while Zhending, Baoding, Hejian and Shunde were in charge of Guizhou. It is managed by the director, and Yanqing Prefecture is managed by the director of Guangdong.
"Of course he can go to the Guizhou Division. The White Lotus Sect in Beizhili is quite rampant. As long as there are enough manpower and a thorough investigation in the deep water, something can be gained. If the imperial court wants to take action by then, it will inevitably go to war. Jun The mediocre can also use their strengths." Feng Ziying added.
"Father also wrote a letter about Jun Yong's whereabouts. I'd better ask you, my brother-in-law, to help make the decision." Shen Yixiu sighed, "The situation in Shanxi is very bad, and I am very worried about my father."
"Yuan Keli went to Shaanxi. I believe the situation can be controlled." Feng Ziying also knew Shen Yixiu's worries.
"But you also said that if Fengzhou Bailian conspires with the local White Lotus Sect in Shanxi, the situation will be very dangerous and the situation may change drastically. Moreover, Shanxi Town and Datong Town have not recovered their strength and can withstand the attacks of the Mongols and the White Lotus Sect. Let’s attack together?”
Shen Yixiu has always been concerned about the situation in Shanxi, and often asks about news from his family, such as Feng Zuo and others. After all, the Feng family has good connections in Datong, so he knows the situation in Shanxi relatively well. In addition, after Feng Ziying came back, She also asked about the situation, so she discussed the situation in Shanxi with her husband.
"Don't worry, my husband has returned to the military headquarters. I will never allow anything to happen to my father-in-law." Feng Ziying explained: "My husband has made some preparations in Shaanxi for more than a year. The Shaanxi Guards and Guyuan Army After a round of training, the combat effectiveness has been improved. If the situation in Shanxi continues to deteriorate, my husband will recommend to the cabinet to move troops from Shaanxi to the east."
This is also a question Feng Ziying has been considering.
Should we wait until the situation becomes clear before deploying troops, or should we deploy troops now, starting from southern Shanxi? In addition, when Qiu Zixiong's secret plan will be launched, we need to consider carefully. This needs to be combined with the negotiation process between the imperial court and Nanjing. In addition, She had to ask her father's plan, so Feng Ziying didn't dare to make a decision easily.
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the street, running straight from the end of the alley to the middle section, which was particularly crisp on the slightly cold street during the ugly weather.
Harsh.
The sound of horse hooves continued until they reached the front door of Feng Mansion. Only then did a man dismount his horse, rush directly to the east corner gate and slam the door open.
The concierge had obviously never experienced anything like this before. He was startled and thought there was a misfire. He turned over and said, "What happened? A misfire?"
"There is an urgent order from the Ministry of War, asking Mr. Feng to come to the office immediately. There is urgent official business." The visitor said breathlessly in a few words: "Please inform Mr. Feng immediately."
The concierge finally understood and responded quickly.
The guards on the door here have also been alerted, but they are not responsible for communication, but only for security, so they are not busy. But if Feng Ziying wants to go out, they must accompany him, especially in this late night, and even more so with assassins.
A good time for assassination.
"I'm afraid something has happened." Li Guibao straightened his clothes and let out a breath, "Your Excellency has just returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of War. He hasn't even had time to finish his three-day vacation, so he rushed to the door. If it wasn't a big deal, how could it be like this?
?』
Liu Dingfeng sighed: "Where else could it be if it wasn't Shanxi? Didn't it mean that Mr. Yuan has already gone?"
"How can it be so fast? I guess Mr. Yuan hasn't arrived in Datong yet." Li Guibao shook his head: "It's been a troubled time."
