Chapter 2707 Gui Zi Scroll Coming, Facing
It was the first day of March in the third year of Xuan Shun.
When Feng Ziying woke up, she was still lying on the bed and didn't want to get up.
Instead of being unable to sleep at night or having trouble sleeping, he found that he slept soundly last night.
According to tradition, the night of February 30th is a night that I live alone, or that is a night that I can freely arrange.
It was a rare moment of leisure, and no one came to "harass" me.
Everyone knew that the second day was going to be special, so Yu Chuan'er took care of him and went to bed early.
I fell asleep next to the pillow and slept until dawn.
After lying on the bed for tea time, Feng Ziying sighed and got up.
You still have to face it, and Feng Ziying is not the kind of person who doesn't dare to face it.
Feng Ziying took a shower when she got up.
Yuanyang and Jin Chuaner waited on her, and then changed her clothes and robes.
Today is not only a meeting of the imperial court, but also a meeting of important ministers.
In other words, today the cabinet will first meet to agree on the nomination of the candidate for chief minister, and then submit it to the meeting of ministers for a vote.
It can be said that in the capital city, those who are a little well-informed or have little financial resources wake up early, waiting for a new wave of reincarnation every five years.
And most people understand that the selection of the first assistant in this round is different from the past, and it can even be said to be full of uncertainties.
Until now, no one can say clearly who will become the first person under the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty after today.
Everyone knows that this round of changes in the dynasty will have a huge impact on the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people living in the capital city, especially those closely related to the changes in the dynasty, are even more concerned.
When Feng Ziying came out after bathing and changing clothes, she found that Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and other girls were already standing outside waiting.
Feng Ziying laughed and waved her hand, "So early? Are you more nervous than me? Or do you plan to have breakfast with me?"
Although I don't know what my husband's plans are, people from Shangsanqinjun and Jingying successively came to my door yesterday and the past few days.
Although the meeting lasted only a short time, Shen Xuelin suddenly became nervous.
What worries them even more is that their father-in-law also comes at night, which makes them even more worried. What kind of things are worthy of his father-in-law's special trip?
There was no such situation during cabinet changes in the past. At least there was no need for the Jingying and Shangsanqinjun to be on guard. There was a normal rotation among civil servants. Why should there be such tension?
But this time it's different.
Gu Bingqian's term had not yet expired and he felt that he could serve another term. Guan Yingzhen confirmed that it was originally agreed that he should take up the post in turn, and Qiao Yingjia was unwilling to be left alone. The northern scholars were now the most powerful in the court, so he had no hesitation.
It was impossible to find a candidate for the first assistant that would satisfy everyone, or the vast majority of the scholars, resulting in such a deadlock. No wonder all parties felt nervous.
"Ms. sir, yesterday..."
Shen Yixiu couldn't help but ask.
"No, they are all benevolent people who abide by the rules. Where do we need to go that far?" Feng Ziying waved her hands and chuckled, "If they want to mess up, it won't be their turn, and the people of the capital and the billions of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty will not agree. ."
Women have a little more heart.
Everyone knows that the person who has the greatest influence on the troops in the capital is their husband. Even the Minister of War, Sun Chengzong, is inferior. If anyone has evil intentions, he will definitely take action against the troops in the capital.
They were just worried that someone would do something evil and involve the troops in the capital.
Although the husband will not change much in this round of cabinet changes, the three of them, Gu Guanqiao, are now in an irreconcilable situation. Once the final winner is announced, no matter who is the chief minister, the other two will be very different. If it is difficult to stay in the cabinet anymore, then my husband may have the opportunity to take a step forward and serve as the second assistant, becoming the second person under the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
This honor is enough to bring glory to our ancestors.
"Okay, let's have dinner together, and bring the children over." Feng Ziying did not let the court affairs disturb her interest in having breakfast, and ordered Yuanyang Heping'er and the others.
Suddenly, the children were brought over by their respective aunts, mothers, and wet nurses, and the whole hall suddenly became lively.
Tong Niang already looked like a young adult, with a double-ring bun and a heroic look on her face. She recited a few poems by Li Bai in front of Feng Ziying, and then recited two poems by Xin Qiji, which won unanimous praise from everyone. .
Feng Ziying also beamed with joy, hugging her daughter in her arms and praising her.
Everyone knows that Tong Niang is the eldest sister among the children in the house. Anyone who does something wrong will be punished. Tong Niang can gain some face from the mothers and aunts, especially from the father. The most favored.
When embarking on the journey to Fengtian Temple, Feng Ziying was still immersed in the happy atmosphere of the family enjoying breakfast.
A good life is hard-won, and Feng Ziying cherishes it very much.
Naturally, he would not allow anything that would break all of this to happen.
Although judging from the current situation, Gu Guanqiao and the three of them are not yet on a desperate path, it does not mean that no one else will want to take advantage of the situation to cause chaos.
Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng were a little ready to make a move. Of course, they also knew that their own strength alone was not enough to stir up the situation, so they went to find their father.
Even his father is a little tempted, but Feng Ziying knows very well that those ideas are unrealistic now. Even if several scholars are competing for power, this is an internal battle among the scholars. Once the warriors get involved, they will immediately Let them unite and work together to deal with it.
More importantly, even if your warriors control the situation in the army, so what? Can you order the entire Zhou Dynasty to obey your orders?
Therefore, Feng Ziying did not hesitate to ask her father to give up those unrealistic thoughts, and it was more serious to just sit aside and watch the situation change.
It is indeed difficult to predict today's situation. Even she is not very sure now, but Feng Ziying is looking forward to it.
The more complicated and confusing the situation is, the more it arouses people's interest. Feng Ziying also wants to see how many people will make that choice when it comes to the final step.
When they arrived at Fengtian Hall, seven or eight important ministers had already arrived.
But none of the cabinet ministers have arrived yet, not even Xu Guangqi, who is ranked last.
Feng Ziying didn't care either.
It was normal for Gu, Guan and Qiao to arrive late. Xu Guangqi didn't care much about this, but Feng Ziying came early as normal.
Before the ministerial meeting, there must be nominations from cabinet ministers.
In fact, this is a formality procedure. Gu, Guan, and Qiao are all cabinet ministers, so they naturally become candidates. However, such a procedure needs to be followed. Feng Ziying and Xu Guangqi will not nominate themselves, so there are only three candidates.
Feng Ziying's arrival also attracted the attention of the first few people who arrived.
Feng Ziying also noticed the two people talking and nodded with a smile: "Xuan Zai Gong (Dong Qichang) and Brother Boda (Lu Yanzhang) are here early."
"Haha, it's an advantage to be early, so as not to be delayed on the road." Lu Yanzhang also smiled and took the initiative to step forward with Dong Qichang, "Ziying came so early and so chic, is it really true that she is just as strong as she wants?"
Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I also want to have desire, but the time is not right and the time is not right. Let's see how hard the three of them, Liu Ji Gong, Dong Xian Gong and Ru Jungong, work hard."
Feng Ziying did not hide much from Lu Yanzhang and Dong Qichang
In fact, this can be said to anyone. Now he is too young and has too little qualifications. Many people still care about this, so the time is not yet ripe. But if you wait a few years, it may be a matter of course.
Feng Ziying's words made Lu Yanzhang and Dong Qichang laugh, "Not necessarily,..."
Feng Ziying was moved in her mind. The Songjiang scholars had great influence among the Jiangnan scholars. Lu Yanzhang was the minister of Guanglu Temple, and Dong Qichang was the minister of Honglu Temple. They were both noble yamen of the Qing Dynasty, but they were all serious ministers of the third rank and had the right to vote.
Theoretically, these two people and Gu Bingqian are both Nanzhi scholars, and Songjiang and Suzhou have always been one, so they should support Gu Bingqian.
But now Songjiang's textile industry is developing rapidly. Cotton has become Songjiang's most important export commodity, and the shipbuilding industry is also rising in Songjiang. The influence of businessmen is also expanding. Lu and Dong should also feel some changes in this area, but Feng Ziying
It is also not certain to what extent the Weng brothers can influence them.
Cao Yubian, the minister of Dali Temple, and Jia Huazheng, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, were talking. When they saw Feng Ziying coming, they came over on their own initiative and started chatting.
Before he could say a few more words, people outside the hall came in one after another.
Feng Ziying saw that Yang Lian, the censor of the right capital, and Xiong Tingbi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, entered side by side. Both of them were the backbone of Huguang scholars.
Sun Shenxing, the left minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, and Yao Zongwen, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, came in while talking, followed closely behind them was Wu Daonan, the minister of Taichang Temple, who was also an acquaintance of Feng Ziying.
Then came Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry. Both of them were scholars who believed in Western religion and were out of place among the entire group of important ministers.
Sun Chengzong arrived with Yuan Keli. I don't know if they met on the road or if they were together.
People arrived one after another. The two brothers, Sun Juxiang and Sun Dingxiang, came in together with Han Xu. When they saw Feng Ziying, they all just nodded without saying anything else.
Li Banghua, the Minister of Rites, and Zhu Guozhen, the Minister of Commerce, walked very slowly, as if they were waiting for someone. He Shijin, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Chen Yuting, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishments, came in behind.
It seemed that in just one moment of burning incense, the entire hall felt a little overcrowded.
The arrival of Gu, Guan, and Qiao marked the final footnote for this grand event, and also marked the official countdown to this ceremony.
Even Feng Ziying had to admire the talent of these three people. At least when he saw the conversation and laughter between the three of them, there was no trace of any discord at all.
It is not easy to achieve this step in Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. It is completely unclear whether they are really confident or just take it lightly.
Feng Ziying could also understand that no matter what the outcome was, she still had to maintain her demeanor as a scholar leader, and at least leave a great image to others and colleagues who could win despite defeat and be calm in defeat.
