Chapter 2202: Gui Zi Scroll: Secretly assassinating Chen Cang, fishing with a golden hook
There was no sound for a while. Feng Ziying certainly knew who these two people were, but she didn't expect them to wander into the back garden.
He also wanted to hear how Shi Xiangyun answered Qin Keqing's question.
After a long time, Feng Ziying heard Shi Xiangyun sigh: "So what if there is affection? In this situation, Brother Feng has tried his best to help us. I am very grateful, but I can't drag him down anymore.
Although our ancestors asked the Ministry of Rites to terminate the engagement, there was still no reply when we left Beijing. In addition, even after the engagement was terminated, my two uncles were still very visible and active in Nanjing. I am afraid that they have long been remembered by the court.
, can I get away?"
"Didn't you say that he said that he could use the amnesty?" Qin Keqing asked puzzledly: "If something happens in Jiangnan, I guess the court will definitely make a decision. It is impossible to continue to run the country with this nondescript model of supervising the country. The only thing is that there are some
The trouble is that the Supreme Emperor is still here. How can the Emperor practice inner Zen? It’s hard to call him this name.”
"We all pin our hopes on the amnesty. What if the amnesty is not as good as we imagined?" Shi Xiangyun said calmly: "Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Besides, I am also thinking that Brother Feng may not be willing to have it.
I,……"
"Why do you say that? I can see that he has affection for you." Qin Keqing said very firmly: "You don't have to think too much about other things. He is the governor of Shaanxi. This time the situation in Shaanxi has reversed, he can be regarded as a member of the government.
With his prestige, the court will definitely reuse him after he returns, and then we will see if he can produce some decent results here in Shaanxi."
"It is precisely because he has a bright future that I don't want to drag him down with my affairs. If someone uses this matter of mine to find fault, wouldn't I become a sinner?" Shi Xiangyun's tone was a little low.
"Xiangyun, it's good for you to think so, but you just don't know much about these things in the court. His future is not affected by these things. If the censor makes noise about these things, he will be scolding the gang secretly.
It is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to be truly fatal." Qin Keqing's tone was very calm.
"Ah? But Qing, I don't quite understand what you are talking about. How come the imperial censor's impeachment turned into an overt scolding and a secret gang?" Shi Xiangyun was confused.
Not to mention Shi Xiangyun, even Feng Ziying became a little curious. This Qin Keqing was not simple. He was not at all the innocent and ignorant person he thought he was before. He seemed to be very proficient in everything in the court.
"How could a person like him who rose to prominence at such a young age not arouse the fear and jealousy of many people? If he really wanted to be spotless, clean and honest, I'm afraid he would be the target of public criticism, and it would be difficult for him to make any progress. Wouldn't he know that
Those who are good are easy to break, and those who are outstanding are easy to be stained? So having such insignificant problems and stains is actually a good thing for him, which can be regarded as a manifestation of being in harmony with the light."
Qin Keqing's words made Shi Xiangyun savor it carefully, and it seemed that it was really the case. A person who stands out from the crowd will definitely attract a lot of jealousy and criticism. If you have some flaws and shortcomings, everyone will think that you are just like everyone else, nothing more.
It seems that if you have better opportunities and stronger abilities, everyone still has a chance to catch up with you. If you really want to be perfect, what will everyone do?
"Well, Qing, according to your opinion, my situation has actually become a layer of protection for Brother Feng?" Shi Xiangyun was a little dumbfounded. How could he, a concubine, become a good thing?
"It's nothing to you. If he really wants to make progress, he has to do something more eye-catching or controversial." Qin Keqing's tone became calmer, "I heard someone say that if he can't
Causing controversy, either this person is mediocre, or this person has ulterior motives. Some people use Wang Mang as an example. Therefore, if he does not want to become a thorn in the eyes of many people so early, he must take some extraordinary measures to attract some criticism.
OK."
Feng Ziying was really convinced. He actually realized that his drastic actions in Shaanxi did not attract much criticism. This was actually not a good thing.
Either those people feel that the general trend is unavoidable, or they feel that the time is not ripe and they wait until the critical moment to strike a fatal blow. This is not what he wants to see, so he feels that he can accept some critical bullets, even if they are heavier.
After all, controversy means profit
If there is a conflict of interest, some people will naturally fight back for themselves. Isn’t that what young people like me should do?
What he is more curious about now is why Qin Keqing has changed so much. The Qin Keqing in his impression turned out to be completely different. Even during that meeting in prison, he didn't seem to have evolved to this extent, right?
How come it has only been so long? In less than a year, that is, in more than half a year, it has been completely transformed? It seems that you are well versed in the inside story of the government and the public. What is going on here?
Or is there someone else behind her? Then why was she sent to Shaanxi?
Who is this guy?
Feng Ziying had vaguely guessed something, but she was not sure. What was this person's purpose?
"According to what you said, Brother Feng has to be impeached by the censors to be considered a good thing." Shi Xiangyun laughed, obviously still not believing this statement.
"There are many types of impeachment. If he is impeached because he takes you as a concubine, it is a good thing. If he is impeached because he promotes potato planting, it may not be a good thing." Qin Keqing's tone became more transparent.
"Taking you as a concubine is at best a violation of court etiquette. It can be a big or small matter. You can be dismissed from the position or you can be reprimanded. It all depends on the attitude of the superior. And if I can get amnesty before accepting you, then it won't be a big deal.
Well, I have to recruit you now to attract the imperial censor to impeach. But because of this kind of thing, the imperial court will dismiss a prosperous fourth-grade official from his position? Obviously it is impossible. But if it is to promote potatoes, here is another
One thing, this involves the change of the entire farming and the livelihood of thousands of households. If something goes wrong, it will be a catastrophic disaster. If he does it so abruptly, it must not be in compliance with the regulations of the court. Once something goes wrong, the censors will
It can be said that they predicted it first, and that became their great political achievement."
Shi Xiangyun looked at Qin Keqing in surprise, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him. How could he have changed into a different person in just a few months?
Not only Feng Ziying felt this change, but also Shi Xiangyun, who was not so sensitive.
"Do you think I've changed a bit?" Qin Keqing said softly.
"Well, it's not a little big, it's a big one. It's a completely different person. It's not that your temper has changed, but your tone and understanding of things in the court have changed so much that I can't believe it.
." Shi Xiangyun pouted, "I remember that someone looked for you several times later, and it was mysterious. Is this the reason?"
"Yeah." Qin Keqing didn't hide it, "It's someone from the palace."
Shi Xiangyun suddenly realized, "Is it your mother, um, Concubine Ying's side?"
"Humph, is she my mother? She has never raised me since I was a child. It was my adoptive father and his family who raised me. It was not until shortly before I married Jia Rong that I finally learned about some of my own possibilities.
Unlike ordinary people, no one gave me a real answer. I asked him at that time, but although he knew something, he still refused to tell me. This made me very disgusted and angry with him at that time.
.”
Qin Keqing's voice at this time was very light and sweet, and it seemed that she had already put aside her resentment and dissatisfaction with Feng Ziying.
Perhaps she had already figured it out. It was not a good thing to tell her at that time. Whether she went to find her biological father or mother, or not, it was a dilemma.
If you look for it, you may only increase your troubles. If you don't look for it, you are asking for trouble. It is better to bury these things deep in your heart. When the day comes when they are really exposed, they will come out naturally.
Didn't he expose himself now? Someone from the palace came to find him and half-hidden the situation to him.
It wasn't until I left the capital that I had a special meeting with myself. Although it was through a curtain and the distance was so far away, it was still the first time I heard her voice.
At that time, I didn't seem to be excited at all. I didn't think I would have any tears or excitement at all. I could even calmly face the other person's rambling story.
To be honest, I didn't want to listen to the other party's nagging at all at that time, because she and I were already in two different worlds, and it was impossible for me to have any interaction with her, but she seemed to still be looking forward to being with him.
The so-called biological father had some connections, which made Qin Keqing feel both sad and pitiful.
She was not very clear about the entanglement between her two biological father and mother, and even felt a little disgusted to be involved in it. These disgraceful and immoral things had made Qin Keqing extremely tired, but she still couldn't get rid of them. This made her
Very hurt.
Only then did she realize that the reason why Feng Ziying was unwilling to tell her was actually for her own good. It was really just adding trouble and doing no good.
It's a pity that there are some things that you can't get rid of even if you want to. What should come will still come.
Of course, she also let the other party bring some things to her. For example, her biological mother still knew very well about various situations inside and outside the government. She didn't know how she knew about it, or whether she still knew about it in Nanjing.
Have contact with her? This is the only way to explain it.
After arriving in Xi'an, people still came to my door and kept making noises.
Qin Keqing knew that in a sense, the other party actually hoped to use this method to save Nanjing's life and regarded it as a life-saving straw, but to Qin Keqing, this was more like a humiliating joke.
