Geng Scroll Volume 219: Traffic Inside and Outside

 It is said that Xue Baochai first came to Beijing to recruit girls into the palace. Of course Feng Ziying knew about this, and it was also mentioned in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", but it ended in vain.

The Great Zhou Dynasty followed the Ming system. Whether it was drafted girls in the palace or concubines, they were generally limited to women from good families with innocent backgrounds among the people.

Shilin women generally disdain to choose a concubine, while Wuxun women in the royal family have taboos and are reluctant to choose one, mainly because they are worried that their relatives will lose their tail in the future.

Of course, this is not absolute, it depends on what the parties involved think.

For example, Emperor Yonglong's last selection of concubines clearly adopted a balanced, compromised and muddled approach. There were both women with military honours, and some daughters of powerful generals in the capital, with a strong sense of purpose.

However, as the situation in the capital becomes increasingly clear, this is of little importance, especially now that the initiative in the situation in the capital is controlled by Emperor Yonglong, not to mention that Emperor Yonglong even spends more time on several concubines.

I don’t have enough energy in my body to be lazy.

However, Feng Ziying did not make up her mind as early as the Xue family and wanted Baochai to choose a concubine to enter the palace. It had been at least ten years since Baochai's father passed away. Baochai was only a few years old at that time, so having this idea was a bit exaggerated.

.

"To revitalize a family and place your hopes on a woman is too illusory. Either you can be the queen or the queen mother, otherwise it will almost always be a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth." Feng Ziying said lightly.

.

"It's just a daughter. If there is hope for a family to prosper, what's the point?" Wang Xifeng's arms like mutton-fat jade were wrapped around her chest, pressing down on the brocade quilt covering her body, and she also responded with an indescribable expression.

The emotion is a mixture of hatred and helplessness.

Feng Ziying was silent, it was true. How could a daughter's happiness and future be compared with the fate of a family? Even if it was a precious legitimate daughter, it was just a daughter. Sooner or later she would be a foreigner, and it was always a man who would carry on the family line.

"In other words, Uncle Zhengshi and Auntie sensed Baochai's parents' intentions and took the initiative?" Feng Ziying felt an indescribable complex emotion in her heart.

He always thought that Jia Zheng didn't care so much about such false reputations, but he never thought that he would make such a decision about Yuanchun. As far as he knew, Wang Ziteng had never supported Yuanchun's entry into the palace. Logically speaking, Wang Ziteng would not support Jia Zheng.

With the family's influence, Jia Zheng should not go against Wang Ziteng's wishes.

"You are right to say that." Wang Xifeng slowly leaned her face on Feng Ziying's shoulder, "Don't you feel that something is not in line with the master's personality?"

"Well, it stands to reason that the prince does not agree, so Uncle Zheng Shi and Auntie will not make such a decision." Feng Ziying nodded, but still expressed her inner doubts.

"More than ten years ago, the Supreme Emperor was still in power, and the Jia family was not that depressed. My second uncle did not have that much influence on the master and the others. The eldest girl entered the palace not because she expected to be a noble concubine, but because the concubine wanted to support her. Who can

I once thought that time had changed over the years, but now that the emperor is the emperor, what happened later was another matter."

Wang Xifeng still knows the secrets of the Jia family many years ago. With Mrs. Wang as her aunt, these are no secrets to her.

"Besides, Mr. Jing from Dong Mansion was very popular in front of the prince, and Rong Guo Mansion was overwhelmed. Jia She only knew how to put money into his own pocket, and he never took care of the affairs of the government. The master is in charge of the house.

Could it be said that there will be no pressure? It’s not like you don’t know his temperament. There is no other way. Since the concubine is interested, the palace will naturally... The situation changed later, but how can you go back on your promise to the concubine?

?so……"

So, Feng Ziying finally understood that more than ten years ago, he was still Emperor Yuanxi, Prince Yizhong was still the prince, and Emperor Yonglong was just one of several princes. Who would have thought that in a sudden change, the prince would be deposed again, and Prince Zhongxiao would transform into Emperor Yonglong?

By that time there was no room for maneuver.

Feng Ziying put her hand around Wang Xifeng's neck and let the other person's head rest on her shoulder more comfortably. Feng Ziying savored it carefully.

So what is the situation of the Jia family now? Jia Jing is still siding with Prince Yi Zhong. Yuanchun could have been used as a chess piece by the concubine to Emperor Yonglong. This can be regarded as two sides siding with each other? This is also a common operation of big families, and everyone can understand it.

.

It's a pity that Emperor Yonglong has no intention of doing this now, and the Jia family is too weak. If Yuan Chun is the direct daughter of Wang Ziteng or Niu Jizong, perhaps Emperor Yonglong will take a higher look. Now that the capital camp is in hand, Emperor Yonglong's throne is stable, which in itself is

I am very disgusted with the martial arts of Prince Yi Zhong, and I am afraid that I have no idea of ​​​​confronting a declining family like the Jia family.

It's a pity that Yuanchun was sent to the palace by his family, but he was cast aside without even playing any role and became an outcast. Even Feng Ziying couldn't help but feel sad for such a natural beauty.

regret.

"You haven't told me why the eldest girl asked Bao Qin to come out to you. Don't get involved in such things..." Wang Xifeng saw that her lover was absent-minded and touched him with his arm.

What did Jia Yuanchun want to do? Feng Ziying couldn't help but shake her head.

When Baoqin saw him alone and told him what Jia Yuanchun had told him, Feng Ziying was shocked. What did Jia Yuanchun want to do?

Qiu Shian, Qiu Bingzhong? Are these two related?

At least Feng Ziying has never heard of any relationship between the Qiu family of Marquis Jingtian and the second-ranking person in the palace. There are so many people named Qiu, how could there be such a coincidence?

Besides, this is not about ransom at all, but about exonerating Qiu Bingzhong!

These are completely two concepts.

As for the amount of the ransom, Feng Ziying thinks it's simple. It's only a matter of tens of millions of taels of silver at most. It's not like Zasai's side doesn't have to pay for it. If not, Wang Xifeng's side will get less money.

I can also save a few, which is an explanation.

But getting away with it is a different matter. Although the court has not discussed how to deal with these martial arts soldiers who have returned from the Beijing camp one after another, an obvious sign is that these martial arts heroes are almost without exception being left idle at home, and even being asked to do so.

Accept Captain Long's advice at any time, this is the posture of settling the scores after the fall.

If the specific crime is to be discussed, it is also a matter of the Three Law Departments. Long Jinwei will hand over some information they have to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will come together with officials from the Ministry of Punishment and people from Dali Temple.

After research and discussion, if it is determined that it meets the legal provisions of the "Dazhou Code", then the three legal divisions will come to review it.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate still plays a leading role in this, and it is up to them to make the determination, and then the Ministry of Punishment will investigate the specific details, including assembling all the evidence, and finally hand it over to Dali Temple for finalization.

Although it seems that Dali Temple is the one who made the final decision, everyone knows that the Metropolitan Procuratorate still has the power to supervise Dali Temple. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate is dissatisfied with the final decision of Dali Temple, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can even impeach Dali.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, Dali Temple will basically not violate the opinions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Jia Yuanchun was still very smart. He just brought out the news without giving any suggestions. Even the girl holding Qin expressed some of Jia Yuanchun's speculations in a very subtle way.

Qiu Shi'an brought the letter out through his own channel, and I'm afraid it was not just Qiu Shian's own thoughts, but also some other intentions.

For example, Qiu Shian was very close to Concubine Su and Prince Fu and Prince Li, and fought fiercely with Xia Bingzhong, but now Xia Bingzhong is getting close to Concubine Mei and Prince Lu, who seem to be the most favored, so

Qiu Shian felt the pressure. It was hard to say whether the other Concubine Su had other intentions, or even whether Qiu Shian had received any instructions from Concubine Su.

Even Feng Ziying couldn't judge Qiu Shian's true intention for a while.

A eunuch serving as a chamberlain, even if the eunuchs are inspected by the inner court, is not so arrogant that he thinks he can directly communicate with foreign ministers, right?

Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shi'an were both old men when Emperor Yonglong lived in the palace. Emperor Yonglong was still nostalgic about this, so these two are now considered the two most favored people in the palace, but this does not mean that Emperor Yonglong treats his servants very much.

Let it go, Wang Zhen during the Yingzong period of the former Ming Dynasty and Liu Jin during the Wuzong period both learned a profound lesson, so the Great Zhou Dynasty both used and took great precautions against eunuchs.

Because of this, Feng Ziying knew that although they were both greedy for money, from Dai Quan in the Taishang Emperor's time to Xia Bingzhong and Qiu Shi'an in the Yonglong Emperor's current reign, there were few rumors of meddling in government affairs, so when Baoqin brought a message to her, Feng Ziying

Only Ziying would be so surprised.

However, when Bao Qin mentioned the "alliance" relationship between Qiu Shi'an and Su Guifei, Feng Ziying came to her senses, fearing that Qiu Shi'an was not just for herself, and there were even other characters behind her.

But Feng Ziying was not very optimistic about Concubine Su. She did not have the power of Concubine Xu to control the Sixth Palace, and her son was not the eldest son. However, she thought that she wanted other families to be big because she had two sons. This kind of inference is too ridiculous.

On the contrary, Concubine Mei and Concubine Guo and their princes should not be underestimated. Of course, all this must be based on how long Emperor Yonglong's body can sustain.

Yuanchun vaguely revealed that Qiu Shian could provide more accurate information about Emperor Yonglong's physical condition, which seemed to imply that he and his father should need this information.

This judgment is not wrong. He just wants to do it. He has taken the path of civil servants and his level is not enough. But my father is different. He is in Liaodong and has a martial arts background. Coupled with the regulation of civilized military control, the emperor's attitude is

Very important.

Without the support of the emperor, the governor of a border town or the commander-in-chief would be easily dismissed by the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Isn't that why my father was serving as the commander-in-chief in Datong?

This excuse will force you to resign and step down, otherwise the result will be even more ugly.
