After Shen Zizheng left, Shen Yixiu was in a good mood and accompanied her husband for a walk in the back garden, with Qingwen following behind.
The afternoon sun is scattered in the back garden, casting mottled shadows. In May, the capital city is already a bit warm. Looking around, you can see lush vegetation and greenery.
"This side is still a little smaller, and there is a lack of water, so we can't compare with that side." Shen Yixiu took her husband's arm and rested her head on his shoulder affectionately before her daughter woke up from her nap.
Logically speaking, this kind of behavior is not allowed and inappropriate in this era, even if it is a couple, but this is in the backyard, there are only two people, so naturally no one will come to ruin the fun. Qingwen is very envious of Shen Yixiu's boldness.
"Well, hurry up and move there as soon as possible. It's going to get hotter now. There's Qinfang Creek over there, and the water surface is connected to the original east side. It's much bigger. The heat is gone. It's perfect to cool off at night. "Feng Ziying said with a smile: "You have also gone to see it, have you chosen a place to live?"
"I'm not too particular about this, but I heard that my wife is not willing to go there?" Shen Yixiu asked.
"Well, mother is used to this place. Look, it's up to her if she wants to stay here. But we have to run here often. I'll give you some advice." Feng Ziying was helpless that my mother was unwilling to move here.
"My wife is getting older and misses the past, but the environment there is much more spacious. I will definitely live there for a long time in the future, so I will have to move there sooner or later." Shen Yixiu nodded, "We are adding more children to our house. In addition, there are more and more servants, so it is really too crowded here, and the two sisters Baochai and Daiyu are also familiar with it, so it couldn't be better."
"They all have their own old residences, Baochai's Hengwu Garden, Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Yingchun's Zhujin Tower, Xiuyan's Luxueguang, Miaoyu's Guocui'an. You can live in Daoxiang Village or Yihongyuan, Just change the name then. You can also live in Doofengxuan, Ningxixuan and Tianxiang Building in Dongfu. It's very comfortable." Feng Ziying didn't care, "Of course the main residence is still in the middle. The name of the provincial villa will definitely not be used. , it turns out that it was also called Heavenly Immortal Treasure Realm, but that’s not appropriate either. I think the name Weiwei Grand View is pretty good too.”
"Your Majesty, do you mean to use 'Weiwei Grand View' as the title of the original provincial villa?" Shen Yixiu raised his eyebrows slightly, tasted it, and thought it was quite appropriate, "Well, it's quite interesting. Originally, the whole garden was called Grand View Garden, and now the building in the center is The community is called Weiweidaguan, which is quite satisfactory."
"Although the three bedrooms belong to each family, from the perspective of a husband, they are one family, so it is like a family if the three bedrooms live together. Wanjun, you will live in the Daguan Tower in the middle. Baochai and Daiyu They live in Zhujin Pavilion and Hanfang Pavilion in the east and west wings. Others also have their own arrangements. I asked Yuanyang, Ping'er and Jin Chuan'er to visit them. They were roughly the same. I also asked for their opinions and they were all very satisfied. .”
Moving into Grand View Garden is a big deal, it means that the women in the three-bedroom house will live together, unlike here where they live in separate houses.
The Grand View Garden is now divided into two levels. The first level is the original provincial villa, where all the girls can be allocated to a building, which is regarded as the main house. It’s up to women to choose where to live. In summer, they would definitely rather live in a separate house, but in winter, it might be more lively to live in the main house.
"As long as I am satisfied, I think everyone is happy to live together. As I said, although it is a third house, it is actually a family. The children are of my blood. From a patriarchal perspective, they belong to each house, but from Emotionally speaking, they are biological brothers and sisters."
What Shen Yixiu said was reasonable and reasonable, taking into account both friendship and justice. Feng Ziying was very happy to hear it. If a good wife has such an attitude, there will be less trouble in the back house in the future. He is most at ease.
Qingwen was listening to the conversation behind the two of them, and she admired her mistress in her heart. She spoke grandly and grandly, and everyone must feel that her mistress was magnanimous. No matter what Miss Bao and Miss Lin did, they were all at a disadvantage.
**********
"The Emperor passed away? When?" Feng Ziying asked while changing her clothes.
"It should be Shen Shi." Wang Wenyan continued: "I asked the messenger and he also said
The words are unclear, but they only say that as soon as the cabinet receives the news, they will immediately summon the important ministers to the palace, and also ask your Lordships to advise on the palace ban."
"Who is guarding the palace today?" Feng Ziying thought for a while, "Is it the flag-bearer Xu Chao?"
"Probably." Wang Wenyan nodded, "The death of the Supreme Emperor should not be a serious problem. There have been warnings from Renshou Palace. The Supreme Emperor has been unconscious for the past two days, and he has not been able to get enough water or rice, so that's pretty much it."
"It's almost done." Feng Ziying sighed softly. The departure of the Supreme Emperor would make room for the new Supreme Emperor, and Emperor Yonglong could take his place as the new Supreme Emperor.
Before Feng Ziying rushed to Renshou Palace, she saw fully armed Zhang Jin and Xu Chao at the palace gate.
Apparently they were also aware of the situation. There were many soldiers standing at the palace gate, and Zhang Jin and Xu Chao were personally stationed at the palace gate.
After some pleasantries, Feng Ziying did not say anything else, but just asked the two of them to stabilize the situation and ensure a smooth transition.
The soldiers on the palace gate are all from the Gansu border army led by Xu Chao. Although they have changed into the uniforms of the standard-bearer guards, the wild and wild aura is coming to their faces, which is different from the lazy and warm-hearted or arrogant and fierce-looking standard-bearer guards in the past. The temperament is completely different.
Zhang Jin is a calm-tempered person, and when he met Xu Chao's bravery, they worked together tacitly.
After Feng Ziying's instructions, she rushed to Renshou Palace on foot. There were already crowds of people outside Renshou Palace.
All the ministers of the cabinet have arrived, as well as the ministers and ministers of other ministries, the censor of the capital procuratorate, and the censor Qian, the deputy censor of the capital. However, Zhang Huaichang, the minister of war, has not arrived.
He needs to sit with the Ministry of War to prevent unexpected events.
Qiao Yingjia went to Xuncheng Procuratorate to take charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, plus Xiao Ruxun took charge of the Beijing camp, and Sun Chengzong went to Tongzhou to take charge of the border troops outside the city. In this way, the situation was basically under control.
Although I don't think that the death of the Supreme Emperor will have much impact on the court situation, it is essential to be prepared just in case.
This has all been planned in advance. If there are any changes, everyone will have their own responsibilities and go to their respective posts to perform their duties, so it can be considered orderly. Feng Ziying's responsibility is the palace confinement, and the Shangsanqinjun must firmly control it.
Feng Ziying is still sure of this.
After saying hello to the cabinet ministers and meeting Gao Panlong, Huang Ruliang, Gu Bingqian, Cui Jingrong, Liu Yishui, Guan Yingzhen, Zhang Jingqiu and others, Feng Ziying was ready to leave.
A small right-hand minister of the Ministry of War is not qualified to perform in such a scene. The purpose of his coming is to reassure the big guys present and tell them that everything is under control.
Seeing that Feng Ziying was about to leave, Gu Bingqian came over and asked, "Ziying, are you leaving?"
"Mr. Liu Ji, congratulations." Feng Ziying bowed her head with a smile: "I still have to visit a few palace gates.
"Haha, it's still undecided. I'm afraid there are still objections over there." Gu Bingqian smiled and waved his hand.
Over there is Minkyo, or Prince Yohitada.
The cabinet recommended Gu Bingqian to join the cabinet to replace Li Tingji, who had retired from office. Originally Qi Yongtai wanted to recommend Guan Yingzhen to the cabinet, but Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe disagreed. In the end, Gu Bingqian joined the cabinet as a compromise, and Guan Yingzhen succeeded Gu Bingqian as the Minister of Etiquette.
.
This is also a preparation for the cabinet.
As the trend of Prince Yohitada succeeding to the throne becomes more and more obvious, the disputes between cabinet ministers will also become apparent.
Prince Yi Zhong proposed that Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi should join the cabinet. Before Gu Bingqian entered the cabinet, if Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi entered the cabinet, it would mean that the party of the six cabinet ministers, Prince Yi Zhong, would occupy two of them.
This was something Ye Xianggao and Qi Yongtai could never accept, so they started the process of Gu Bingqian joining the cabinet and occupying a seat first.
As for the other seat, let Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi go dog-eat-dog.
The number of ministers in the Great Zhou Cabinet has never been clearly determined. The highest number was seven. That was during the reign of Emperor Guangde, but the time was very short. In less than a year, one person became an official. Most of the time, there were seven ministers.
Keep it around five.
"Is there any objection over there?" Feng Ziying smiled contemptuously, "Why does our court need the consent of the other side for matters decided by the court? If the overall situation is not taken into account, the court will
I’m afraid Ting doesn’t even bother to talk to them, right?”
Feng Ziying's unruly and domineering attitude also made Gu Bingqian smile.
Although this boy is already a third-grade official, he still has some martial habits.
It is said that because he fell in love with the daughter of the Shi family, he actually instigated the Jia family to request that the marriage contract between the daughter of the Shi family and Sun Shaozu be invalidated. Of course, Gu Bingqian would not fail to show his favor, and he readily let the Ministry of Rites rule to terminate the engagement.
"Ziying, it's okay for us to say this among ourselves, but we can't say this in front of outsiders." Gu Bingqian's eyes were soft, "We, the princes of the court, must consider the country, the country, and the country. It may be slightly different from Prince Yi Zhong's personal ideas, which is also very important.
It’s normal, but if he wants to succeed the great ruler and ascend to the throne of God, then he may need to abandon some personal emotions and consider the problem more from the perspective of the eternal stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
Feng Ziying smiled nonchalantly, "We think so, Mr. Liu Ji, but can that man be so generous?"
Gu Bingqian's face also became a little gloomy, "I believe he will, otherwise the cabinet will not agree to his return."
"I hope so, but it is also appropriate for the court to make adequate preparations earlier. I do think that perhaps this round of efforts to bridge differences may be short-lived. Once the situation stabilizes a little, perhaps that person will understand that sometimes
There are a lot of things that need to be given up." Feng Ziying's words were a bit more playful.
Gu Bingqian likes Feng Ziying's tone very much. In his opinion, this is the way civil servants govern the world. Why should Prince Yi Zhong come to pick up peaches from the ground? It is too unfair and unfair for him to easily ascend to the throne without any dedication or effort.
Emperor Yonglong was a humiliation.
