Emperor Yonglong's words touched Feng Ziying a lot.

Perhaps the other party did feel the pressure of increasingly weakening body, and wanted to eliminate all kinds of disasters in one fell swoop, and even gained the support of the officials in the court, but was confined to various moral and realistic constraints and could not deal with them in the most direct way. This is the biggest problem.

If you really want to solve Prince Yizhong, you can imprison him in one fell swoop in the capital, and then take advantage of the opportunity to deal with Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army. As for the only thing that Prince Teng's Denglai army is still in Huguang, how big a storm can it cause?

If the snake has no head, it is impossible to deal with Prince Yizhong himself, and then control the Xuanfu army. Whether it is the tribes in Nanjing, the gentry in Jiangnan, or the Denglai army, under the general trend, they can only bow their heads and kneel down and then clarify and deal with them one by one. Isn’t this difficult?

As for the Supreme Emperor, he may still have some influence at the moment, but as long as Emperor Yonglong can wipe out his face, Feng Ziying believes that the Supreme Emperor will at most be resentful in his heart, but he will never jump out and oppose it. It will only cause the entire court to fall into chaos and benefit the foreign enemies.

As the emperor who has been an emperor for decades, he can clearly distinguish between emotional and rational choices and will never do such a thing. After all, Emperor Yonglong is also his own son, and he is also the emperor he chose himself.

At this point, Emperor Yonglong's suspicion and indecision were fully exposed. Perhaps he was better when he was young, but his health was worse when he was older, and his weakness became more and more obvious. Perhaps Prince Yizhong had just spotted the weakness of Emperor Yonglong, just like Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jingtai also had Yu Qian, and the civil officials around Emperor Yonglong seemed to be more willing to watch coldly. For example, Zhang Jingqiu and Gu Bingqian, both their abilities and prestige were far inferior to those of Yu Qian, while the martial artists all supported Prince Yizhong more. This is a kind of sadness.

But for yourself, what does this mean?

Feng Ziying was a little hesitant for a moment. How should she deal with Emperor Yonglong’s inquiry?

As Emperor Yonglong said, it seems that this time the summoning is probably not just about choosing a throne.

Logically speaking, Feng Ziying could not have had much clever insight into this matter. Even if it comes to talking about it, it would be difficult to gain the recognition and trust of Emperor Yonglong.

His current level is still too low, and even Shishi Qi and Qiao avoid him on some special topics. It is obvious that he feels that he is too young and is not suitable to participate in these matters, but should do his current job well. However, Emperor Yonglong's attitude today made Feng Ziying a little confused. This situation seems to be inconsistent with Shishi Qi and Qiao and others.

"If the emperor asks for advice, I will naturally know everything. However, my words are light and my experience is still shallow, so many opinions may not be correct. Therefore, I urge the emperor to consult the opinions of all the public in the court to be the best strategy."

Feng Ziying's words made Emperor Yonglong laugh and stroked his beard and smiled: "Feng Qing doesn't have to worry too much. In these few days, I have to ask questions one by one for the cabinet, the ministers of the seven ministers and the chief clerks of the Censorate. For what I want to ask, Feng Qing just analyzes and judges from your own perspective. There is no need to worry about any obstacles, I have a judgment."

Feng Ziying nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I should do my best."

Emperor Yonglong asked about the follow-up handling of the Jingtong Second Warehouse case, Feng Ziying briefly introduced it and said that it had come to an end, and the relevant recovered silver at the end of the year will be handed over in full.

Emperor Yonglong asked about the Xishan case that Feng Ziying had been eager to try.

Feng Ziying once talked about this issue with Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and Huang Ruliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia both clearly opposed it, saying that now is not the time for another war. The Xishan case involves many important personnel in the capital, covering civil servants and military officials and royal families, and many of them are intertwined. In particular, among civil servants, there are quite a proportion of gentry in the north. Once it is detonated, it may cause a huge rebound.

When Feng Ziying left Beijing and went to Yongping Prefecture because the scholars in the north believed that Feng Ziying's strategy of opening the sea would be almost impossible to benefit from it. On the contrary, the gentry in Jiangnan made great profits, so they attacked people in groups. Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia took a lot of pressure on him, and finally let him avoid the limelight in Yongping Prefecture.

Now I finally took advantage of the opportunity after the Battle of Santun Camp to return to the capital. If the Xishan case once again triggered the attacks of the gentry in the north, I am afraid that Feng Ziying would leave the capital again.

However, when Feng Ziying talked about this matter with Huang Ruliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Huang Ruliang was quite moved.

The Ministry of Revenue Bank is now exhausted and money is urgently needed. After the Jingtong Second Warehouse case was found, there were still many debts that needed to be resolved one by one after supporting the military needs of the northwest, so it is estimated that by the end of the year, Huang Ruliang is now like a firefighter. He is thinking about where to get money from, but Jieshenku is the emperor's private money that he had to move before he had to. Huang Ruliang didn't want to be regarded as an incompetent person who was considering his private money as soon as he took office.

Once the Xishan case is unveiled, it involves the royal family and relatives of the high-ranking officials in Beijing, but most of them have more connections with the gentry in the north and the martial arts. In contrast, it is not very related to the scholars in Jiangnan. Therefore, Huang Ruliang naturally intends to launch a "development model" like the Jingtong Second Warehouse Case from Shuntian Prefecture. If he can grab one or two million taels of silver from the Xishan case, at least it can alleviate the current financial difficulties that are extremely tight and he will wait until next year.

But Huang Ruliang also knew that the Xishan case was too deep and wide, which was far better than the Jingtong Second Warehouse case. It was more of a joint effort by middle and lower-level officials to enrich their personal pockets. Although the benefits were huge, the foundation was actually seriously insufficient.

But behind these Xishan Carboniferous Mine are truly prominent figures, both royal family members and civil servants and generals, they are involved. If you really want to hold them accountable and even pursue various illegal profit-making gains in the early stage, it will undoubtedly damage the interests of countless people. Their power to counterattack cannot be underestimated, even the Minister of Revenue may not be able to bear it.

Therefore, Huang Ruliang is more inclined to let Feng Ziying, a naughty young man, test the waters first and see the color of fire. If the rebound power is too strong, then you might as well slow it down. If it is not as powerful as you imagined, or if Feng Ziying has a better method and has an opportunity to take advantage of it, it can also make a fortune for the court and relieve his own pressure.

"I have also considered the case of Xishan, because the case of Jingtong Second Warehouse caused a large shock in the court. I have just calmed down and it is not the best time to take action. In addition, the case of Xishan involves dozens of carbonite ore kilns, which lasted for twenty years. Many of them have changed hands several times. It takes energy and time to trace the root cause one by one. The preliminary investigation preparation work is extremely complicated. I also have some contact with Long Jinwei and the Ministry of Justice in advance and started to prepare. But there is still a process, and like the case of Jingtong Second Warehouse, you need to choose a breakthrough. This is not a matter of one day or one night, so I am considering whether I can take action until the beginning of next year..."

Feng Ziying also thought about it carefully.

From the bottom of his heart, he certainly hopes to start the Xishan Kiln case earlier.

Miyun Iron Mine has now entered the development stage, and coal coking on Xishan Kiln is also needed to support the iron-making consortium on Miyun. However, Xishan Kiln is all controlled by the prominent people in Beijing. Their coal is basically sold to Beijing. It is difficult to obtain Miyun Iron Mine, so to break this situation, you have to attack Xishan Kiln.

But now is indeed not a good time to start. If the situation can transition smoothly after the Iron Net Mountain Qiuhuo, the election of the throne will be smooth, and Prince Yizhong will continue to lie dormant, then the investigation and punishment of the Xishan Kiln case can be initiated in advance, but Feng Ziying does not believe that there will be such a result.

The selection of Qiu Xizhao's crown prince will not be so simple, or even smooth. The result is unknown now, but Prince Yizhong is even more unlikely to give up the opportunity he has been waiting for for many years. It can be said that Prince Yizhong is already on the string and has to fire it. Therefore, it is undoubtedly unwise to move the Xishan Kiln case at this time, and it will only cause chaos and turmoil within the court.

"The investigation and punishment of the Jingtong Second Warehouse case has been deeply supported by the people in Beijing. There is no question of any shock. Even if there is, it is still good. Why are Ziying, you are becoming more and more frustrated at this time? I can understand how to prepare for it, but I don't think it's exactly like this. I feel that this is not like your style, or is it because of other concerns?"

Emperor Yonglong was not that easy to fool, and Huang Ruliang also reported to him that the imperial court's silver treasury is almost at a bottom and urgently needs to be supplemented. If Xishan Kiln can be used, it will undoubtedly be the second Jingtong Second Warehouse case. Emperor Yonglong also wanted to take this opportunity to clean up Wuxun and some officials in order to free up some space and set up arrangements for those he is optimistic about.

He needs to prepare for his next generation in advance for his talent reserve.

Feng Ziying was not good at answering this question for a while. Can he say he was not optimistic about Qiu Feng's selection of the throne? Or did he think that there would definitely be a big turmoil inside and outside the court after Qiu Feng, and even directly said that Prince Yizhong was unwilling to lie down and cause trouble? There was also the severe drought in the north and the White Lotus Sect taking advantage of the situation. All of this may lead to severe turmoil. This is not a good time to investigate the Xishan case again, and it is impossible to investigate it?

Of course, these are all speculations and assumptions. Maybe the emperor has long been confident and even deliberately created such a situation, which is to force some forces to take the initiative to jump out, but are they really under control?

"Your Majesty, I do think that the present is not a good time." Feng Ziying said slowly: "I am indeed a little worried. I also want to take this opportunity to report to the emperor that the current situation is indeed a bit dangerous. This is not an unreasonable worry or an exaggeration. My opinion is based on it."
