"If the master says so, I really want to find an opportunity to come to the capital for a visit. Sister Shen has never seen me, but sister Bao has. I heard that sister Lin is also an Asian.
I wish I could pay a visit to Mr. Diao Chan Zhaojun."
Zhen Baochen herself is not a person who is not afraid of trouble, and she is determined now without desires. Since she has not considered joining the Feng Mansion, there are not so many taboos and worries. As long as she has Feng Ziying's trust and love, she doesn't care about anything else.
And through this period of contact and understanding, she felt more and more that Feng Ziying's temperament was different from that of other men. Other officials thought carefully before doing anything, and were particularly worried about the impact on their career, but Feng Ziying was different. Some
He doesn't care about things and rumors that may obviously have an impact or be detrimental.
Before, Zhen Baochen thought that Feng Ziying was pretending to be the big one, but later she discovered that Feng Ziying really didn't care. Even when she reminded him, he was indifferent or calm.
That kind of calmness and poise is really not something that ordinary officials can have.
Since Feng Ziying is so free and easy, she is a divorced woman and her identity is his wife. Everything about her depends entirely on his personal likes and dislikes. She will not stay in the capital with Feng Mansion.
There won’t be much intertwining between those people, so why bother?
And she also felt that Feng Ziying did not want to have too much interaction between herself and those in the house, which was exactly what Zhen Baochen wanted.
"It's up to you to pay a visit, and the same goes for Sister Feng. I still say the same thing, Bao Chen, you don't need to care too much about others, live your life and do things according to your own wishes. Since you and I have already
Fate, you are also interested in the pictures I drew, and I even think you have a talent in this area, so why not just continue doing it freely?"
Feng Ziying stood behind Zhen Baochen, holding Zhen Baochen's waist, smelling the fragrance of Zhen Baochen's temples, "I like your willful and bold temperament, there is no need to restrain yourself because of others."
"Then I really believe what I said." Zhen Baochen smiled and put his face on Feng Ziying's shoulder, "Actually, I have been feeling as if I was dreaming during this time. Follow me here
In a period of time, it seems that I have experienced and seen more things than I have in the eight years I have been in the Ding family. Every day, my heart is full, and even in my dreams, I feel that there are all kinds of things, one after another.
What is this, isn’t it just for fun and pleasure? So I feel that following me for the rest of my life, no matter what, is worth it!”
These words touched Feng Ziying's heart. Life is a wonderful and comfortable life. Why do you think so much about other things? Being wonderful means doing something that you think is worth doing. Comfort means being happy and having a sense of accomplishment after doing something.
So simple.
He felt that he and Zhen Baochen thought about it together at this point.
"Forget it, Baochen, you can go to Yangzhou with confidence. If you have servants from the Zhen family or people from outside, you can choose one or two. After all, it is still a little inconvenient for you to be a woman outside. One or two
Careful and reliable, regardless of gender, you can weigh it yourself."
Feng Ziying forgives Zhen Baochen, and Zhen Baochen is also moved and kisses her. Not every man can be so generous and agree to his selection of people in the Zhen family.
Zhen Baochen took Zhen Baoyu to Yangzhou, and Feng Ziying would stay for a few days. Mainly to wait for He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen and Wang Yingxiong.
He Fengsheng and Fan Jingwen served as magistrates of Xuzhou and Guangde respectively, but Wang Yingxiong was appointed as magistrate of Ningbo because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Bozhou.
The three of them have already gone south together. They will first go to Nanjing to visit Gu Bingqian, Chai Ke and Yang Lian. This can be regarded as a pre-appointment talk of this era. Xuzhou and Guangde are both under the jurisdiction of Southern Zhili, and Gu Bingqian is the governor of Jiangnan. The two of them came to visit
Also normal.
Wang Yingxiong was appointed as the governor of Ningbo. Ningbo belongs to Zhejiang, so it has nothing to do with the governor of Jiangnan. However, Gu Bingqian came to Jiangnan as a cabinet minister to handle certain matters, and this Jiangnan refers to the greater Jiangnan, including Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian.
In addition, Chai Ke and Yang Lian were also in Nanjing on behalf of the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate respectively, so it was reasonable to come to visit him.
Just because all three of them were coming south, Feng Ziying
Simply wait for them in Nanjing, especially Xuzhou, where He Fengsheng is located, is close to Shandong, and the spread of white lotus is also very prominent. Feng Ziying also wants to explain to him, and Wang Yingxiong is appointed as Ningbo Tongzhi, and Feng Ziying also wants to remind him to strengthen coastal defense to prevent the return of Japanese pirates.
.
The three of them arrived three days after Zhen Baochen left for Yangzhou.
"You came quickly enough. I went to see Mr. Gu Ge and Mr. Chai. How many of them have Deputy Yang ordered?" Feng Ziying was in a good mood when she saw the three people coming. She went out to greet them personally and welcomed the three people in.
"Tsk tsk, this house, Ziying, aren't you afraid that Mr. Yang will play a trick on you?" Wang Yingxiong looked at the mansion and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "The status of the imperial envoy is indeed extraordinary. I am living a comfortable life in this little life.
.”
"Huh, Fei Xiong, if you go to Ningbo, your life will be even more comfortable than mine. Ningbo's maritime merchants are as rich as the crucian carp crossing the river. When the time comes, they will have to kick your door down. I am now
I will take advantage of today temporarily. After you guys arrive, I will go north." Feng Ziying patted Wang Yingxiong on the shoulder and said cheerfully.
"Ziying, are you leaving so soon?" Fan Jingwen asked in surprise: "Both Minister Chai and Vice Minister Yang seem to have to wait for a while." "They have their own jobs. I am the Minister of War.
The military affairs are almost settled, so it’s time to go back.”
Feng Ziying led the two of them into the flower hall, and Yu Chuan'er brought out the tea.
"What should we do with the Northwest Army? Where is your father?" Wang Yingxiong came from the Ministry of War and was the most sensitive to this issue. "Feixiong, what news have you heard?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
"I heard that Sun Shilang proposed to the court that your father should be appointed as the governor of Xuanda and the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and Ma Chengxun should be transferred to the commander-in-chief of Yulin." Wang Yingxiong did not hide it. "Oh? What about He Shixian, who will take over as the commander-in-chief of Ganning? What about Qi Bingzhong?
Feng Ziying frowned. Qi Bingzhong should be a very suitable candidate for the merger of the two towns of Gansu and Ningxia. Ma Chengxun went to Yulin. Where can He Shixian go? He can only go to Ganning after the merger. The question is where will Qi Bingzhong go?
"Well, He Shixian will take over as the commander-in-chief of Ganning and Ning after the merger, and Qi Bingzhong will go south and take over as the commander-in-chief of Jingxiang." Wang Yingxiong replied: "This is just an idea. I'm afraid it hasn't been decided yet. You, the right servant, haven't gone back yet."
"It's not appropriate for Qi Bingzhong to go to Jingxiang Town. It won't make much sense to keep Jingxiang Town after the southwest war has come to an end, so Qi Bingzhong was delayed." Feng Ziying shook his head, "You can't set positions based on people. The existence value of Jingxiang Town is even less than that of Guyuan.
The towns and Guyuan towns have been abolished, so what is left for Jingxiang town?”
"I also have the same view. Guyuan has been withdrawn, how valuable is it to keep Jingxiang? Now the court is complaining every day that there is no money, and the Northwest Army is still lying in the Central Plains with nowhere to go. How can a mediocre army like Jingxiang Town still be retained here?
Aren't you just slapping yourself?" Wang Yingxiong also disagreed: "If we really want to retain it, then it would be better to let the Northwest Army join the northwest and retain Guyuan Town."
"Fei Xiong, it will be difficult for the Northwest Army to let him return to Guyuan now." Fan Jingwen glanced at Feng Ziying and shook his head, "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. No one knows what is going on in Guyuan.
This means that these guys from the northwest, who have been fighting life and death in the Central Plains, will go back to eat dirt. Can they agree? Even if Mr. Feng is here, he may not be able to suppress it."
Fan Jingwen is telling the truth.
If you go to the northwest to fight, I have not mentioned that you will have meritorious service, food and salary, and you will have hope.
But you are asking them to go back and become border guards, which will make it difficult for these northwest men who have had enough to be neglected and owed, and Feng Tang is no longer their commander-in-chief. Who can suppress them?
Can you survive? There might be another Ningxia rebellion.
The atmosphere became a little solemn for a while.
An army that does not fight but has no arrangements is always a problem. It will either become lax and corrupt and become a waste, or it will breed ambition and evil intentions. This is both dangerous.
Feng Ziying waved her hands, "Okay, it's not our turn to intervene in this matter for the time being. Although I also want to know the court's considerations, I can't tell you yet. Tell me your own plans. I'm afraid you didn't even expect to come south like this suddenly."
?』
"We were discussing on the road just now. Chai Shilang also revealed that it was you who recommended Ziying. Although we all feel that we have been promoted, why do we have to come to Jiangnan?"
He Fengsheng couldn't help but ask.
"Being more familiar with the situation in the north and the south and feeling the differences between the north and the south may be of great benefit to you in the future. Ke Yao, your place is the most troublesome. I will have to have a good talk with you when I pass Xuzhou. The White Lotus Sect is probably as rampant as
North Zhili, and Xuzhou Bailian and Shandong Bailian are collaborating, and it is very likely that there will be an uprising in the near future."
Feng Ziying made it clear, which shocked several people.
He Fengsheng and Fan Jingwen had already noticed the frequent activities of the White Lotus Sect during their two years in Shuntian Prefecture, and had reported it to Shuntian Prefecture. However, Shuntian Prefecture seemed a little out of shape.
There are contacts with the county.
Now it was suddenly mentioned that the White Lotus Sect was rampant in Xuzhou and Shandong, which made several people realize the seriousness of the problem. "Then the Northwest Army has been stationed in Fengyang, but in order to deal with the White Lotus Sect?" Wang Yingxiong also asked.
"Maybe there is this reason, but the White Lotus Sect is very involved and is deeply rooted even in Shanxi. If it really spreads and blooms in all directions, the Northwest Army will be in trouble."
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and shook his head. The news from the Ministry of Justice was not optimistic, which was why he was urged to return to Beijing quickly.
