The Scroll of One's Own Words: The Tiger Lying on the Barren Hill, Chapter 5, Little Hypocrisy

 Emperor Yonglong nodded silently, Lao Jiu's words are pertinent. Liaodong cannot be lost. If Liaodong is lost, whether it is the Jurchens in Jianzhou or the Chahar people's troops, they will be directed at the capital city. As an emperor, he

I have to sleep restlessly on Godardan's pillow, fearing that I will not even be able to secure the throne.

"Feng Tang's suggestion does make some sense, but it is too difficult for the court to implement his suggestion. At least the court currently does not have the financial resources to implement it." After a long time, Emperor Yonglong expressed his opinion dryly, "But

What you said, Laojiu, makes sense. The situation in Liaodong still needs to be supported. Feng Tang's intention also shows that he has national affairs in mind, and it is not in vain for me to put him in the position of Governor of Ji Liao."

"Then what does the emperor plan to do?" King Zhongshun was a little curious.

"Wait a moment and take a look at the harvests in various places this year. If the harvest failure is serious, you might as well choose one or two places to give it a try. The imperial court can barely afford the migration of 20,000 to 30,000 refugees. If it is a convenient place like Beizhi or Shandong,

That would be more appropriate." Emperor Yonglong took a deep breath, "Liaodong depends on how Feng Tang responds."

"If we take the sea route, it may not be as bad as we thought. The Jinzhou-Fuzhou line has a sparse population and vast land, but it will not be endangered by Jianzhou Jurchens. We might as well try the Jinzhou-Fuzhou line as a first step.

Let’s start with this and see if we can introduce some private businessmen to develop this area and avoid paying taxes for fifteen years. I think it’s quite attractive.”

King Zhongshun stroked a few strands of rat whiskers under his chin thoughtfully, "My brother, I heard that Longyou and Anfu merchants are not good at this method of relocation and colonization? If the wasteland of Liaodong is also managed according to the strategy of Eastern Fan, the emperor

What do you think, brother?"

Emperor Yonglong's eyes lit up, "Lao Jiu, do you think it was Feng Keng who was behind Feng Tang's proposal of this strategy? It was Feng Keng who planned and operated the Longyou and Anfu businessmen's colonization of Eastern Fan."

King Zhongshun laughed. "Brother, the emperor has also thought of it. Now that Feng Keng is well-known, he is also a little afraid of being outstanding. Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to go abroad? This strategy of opening up the sea will be calculated over time? The court will be the beneficiary.

Ranked first? Second in Jiangnan? But there are no benefits in the North. No wonder Feng Keng can only seek to go abroad to avoid the limelight. Who allows him to carry the name of the young scholar leader of the North? Such a strategy?

But failed to earn benefits for the North? Naturally, it will attract verbal criticism. This is forgetting our roots."

Emperor Yonglong also laughed, this kind of thing? Even the emperor can't do anything about it? Are you "forgetting your ancestors"? Of course you will be scolded? But it's not like anything else? Just avoid the limelight? It just looks like the imperial court

It's just a debt to the other party. Lao Jiu also said that the biggest benefit is the court.

As if he noticed something, Emperor Yonglong's eyes fell on King Zhongshun, "Old Jiu? Feng Keng came to see you?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from his brother? King Zhongshun didn't hide anything? "He came at noon and said something, saying that he had become a rat crossing the street and everyone yelled and beat him, so he could only hide out of the capital to avoid the limelight? It was Qi Yongtai.

Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia can't protect them. Well, Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia probably feel uncomfortable in their hearts, but the one who caused such a big fight is their own protégé. This is both joy and worry, and a little angry, right?"

Emperor Yonglong also laughed, "I can't blame them entirely. I guess Feng Keng himself didn't expect that this matter would get bigger and bigger. In the end, even if he wanted to withdraw, it was impossible to stop. The general trend is that Feng Keng

He’s just a leader, but now he’s looking for someone to make up for his loss?”

King Zhongshun also pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother the emperor also knows? But it seems that the father..."

Emperor Yonglong sighed leisurely, "Yeah, these days, who doesn't think highly of outstanding people? But do you know what the purpose of this guy Feng Keng and my proposal to pursue the title of his second uncle is?"

King Zhongshun blinked and said, "My younger brother is also a little curious. Logically speaking, he is a civil servant, so he shouldn't care about this. And even if he cares about this, isn't it true that he already holds the title of the eldest son? The eldest brother is Hulun Marquis, and the third brother is also

There is also a Shenwu general, so why should you care about the second brother Yunchuan Bo? Do you really feel that the court owes you a debt, and you have to make up for it to balance your heart? Or do you want Feng to continue his incense? "

"Humph, maybe, maybe not, but this guy himself said that he wanted to marry another woman of his choice. Isn't it ridiculous?" Emperor Yonglong didn't know how to say this, "Lord of the imperial court, how valuable he is.

?But it was used by this guy as a way to get a wife,..."

Seeing the anger on his brother's face, King Zhongshun actually became happy, "When the emperor said this, I really believed it. It is said that this son has no other choice but pomegranate skirt. He has no regrets. Maybe that's it."

We are all ladies in the family, but that concubine is not the best. Only this method can get what we want..."

Emperor Yonglong was stunned by King Zhongshun's words, but looking back at everything about Feng Keng, apart from his amazing political skills, it seemed that there were only these romantic anecdotes, and maybe they were actually the truth.

"Well, when you say that, Lao Jiu, it's really possible..." Emperor Yonglong nodded, "I know, but since he came to Lao Jiu to talk about it, if I still ignore him, it would be a shame.

It seems that I am unkind and ungrateful, whatever,..."

King Zhongshun secretly laughed in his heart. Everything else was just gossip. Only Feng Ziying took the initiative to talk to him. In fact, it was just a disguised expression. This was what the emperor was most satisfied with. As for the rest, would the emperor care?

*******

When she woke up, Feng Ziying did not get up immediately. Instead, she propped herself up and looked sideways at her sleeping wife beside her.

The willow eyebrows are like the moon, and the feather-fan-like eyelashes come together lightly to form a very beautiful and fine arc. The white and red jade dimples look particularly beautiful in the faint morning sunlight, and the white lotus-root arms carry half a fragrance.

Her shoulders were exposed, and when she touched them with her hands, she felt a slight chill. Feng Ziying lovingly pulled the brocade quilt for her beloved wife, covering the faintly visible gully on the top of her bellyband.

In the past two months, Shen Yixiu's food intake has obviously increased, his symptoms of lethargy have become obvious, and his taste has become heavier. He is also a little tired of the light taste that he originally liked, and prefers sweet, sour and spicy dishes.

The body has also begun to undergo some subtle changes. Of course, only Feng Ziying, the pillowcase and the personal maids, can see it. Ordinary outsiders still think that the young mistress is the same as usual.

Of course, I am in a better mood, and my husband, who used to tease her from time to time, has now become tolerant and even actively invites her to have a get-together.

There were soft footsteps outside, it was Yun Shang.

Knowing the time Feng Ziying got up and knowing that the young lady was sleepy during this period, Yun Shang was also tiptoeing around.

Seeing Feng Ziying wave her hand, Yun Shang stepped out knowingly.



As if feeling something, Shen Yixiu murmured something in his sleep, then turned over, and subconsciously hugged her husband with her jade arms, curling her body into his arms, but she was quickly awakened by a change in her husband's body. come over.

Even though they had been husband and wife for several months, Shen Yixiu was still a little shy. When he raised his eyes, what he saw was her husband's burning eyes. The ridge of her bellyband had already been penetrated by her husband's hand. She couldn't help but be jealous. She screamed, but was greeted with a burst of tender pity and love.

Of course, Feng Ziying knows the importance and will not take any risks. She just has gentle hands and eyes, and she also has a sense of boudoir.

"Ms. sir!" Faced with her husband's "attack", Shen Yixiu couldn't stand it anymore. She knew that her husband would not go too far and would not go to the You family's place to rest, but would stay with her here. She felt in her heart Naturally, it is also extremely sweet.

"Huh?" Feng Ziying finally took back her claws.

"My husband can actually stay at Dongkuaoyuan during this period. The two sisters have been looking forward to it for a long time. I don't want to be jealous." Shen Yixiu glanced at the door and said, "How about you? My husband took Qingwen and Yun Shang into his house, so that he could avoid having to deal with concubines..."

"Why, Wan Jun still doesn't want to accompany you as your husband?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

"Of course I hope that my husband will accompany me, but my two sisters are also looking forward to it. And now that I am pregnant, I am afraid that the two sisters will also be jealous of me. The other day, the second sister You asked me in a roundabout way. If you are preparing for pregnancy, do you still understand what you need to pay attention to?"

Shen Yixiu had a very good impression of Second Sister You. Although she was not well-informed, she was absolutely sensible. She was kind-hearted and honest, and she didn't talk much. She usually liked to sit with him, even if she didn't speak. , it can also make people feel a little more close to each other.

Feng Ziying naturally understands Sister You's wish. She hopes that she can get pregnant as soon as possible after Shen Yixiu's pregnancy. This will also make You Er, who has some insecurities, feel more at ease. Feng Ziying has also comforted Shen Yixiu, who has always been insecure. Second Sister You, but she also knows that the best way to make Second Sister You feel safe and secure is for her to get pregnant and give birth to a child as soon as possible. It is best to give birth to a son, which is the best comfort.

"Well, I will work hard for my husband." Feng Ziying said with a smile.

"Also, the sister of the Xue family came yesterday, and I talked to the sister of the Xue family alone for a while..." Shen Yixiu smiled as if he was recalling the situation at that time.

Feng Ziying was surprised, "You told her..."

"Well, I didn't say it clearly, but the younger sister of the Xue family is extremely smart. She had already guessed it as soon as I revealed it, and she greeted me with such a courtesy, which made me feel a little embarrassed..."

The smile in the corner of Shen Yixiu's eyes was mixed with a bit of pride. Although he concealed it well, Feng Ziying, who had been well aware of his wife's many subtle behaviors for several months, naturally understood.

This also left Feng Ziying speechless. Even though Shen Yixiu usually behaved grandly, on matters related to status and recognition, he was not ambiguous at all. It can be seen that this woman is inevitably a little pretentious.
