"Then what should we do?" The Zhen sisters all said in unison, their eyes focused on Feng Ziying's face.
After all, it all depends on the fate of your entire family, and whether you want to stay or not is a dilemma.
"If I were your Zhen family, I would rather choose to be exiled to the army, but the time can be shorter. Three years of exile to the army and ten years of local imprisonment. In the eyes of outsiders, three years of exile to the army is definitely much more serious. I would rather choose to be sentenced to local imprisonment.
It's better to take care of you, but the Zhen family is not suitable. Countless people will try to kill you. If you stay in Nanjing, you Zhen family don't know how many people will die and how much torture you will suffer. If you jump out and go to the border, it may be different.
Three years have gone by in a blink of an eye..."
Feng Ziying's words made both Zhen Baochen and Zhen Baoyu hesitate.
Having said that, my family is used to being pampered and pampered, so if I suddenly want to go to a border area, can I bear the hardship?
Even with Feng Ziying taking care of them, the whole family was exiled thousands of miles away, not accustomed to the soil, water, food, and sores. How many people would die on the road and in the past three years?
Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the Zhen sisters, Feng Ziying did not push her. The fact that the Zhen family was able to get such an arrangement under such circumstances was the result of her own good operation.
Gu Bingqian was very considerate and approved of his decision to take the Zhen sisters as concubines. However, he also specifically warned that Zhen Baochen was not suitable to be a concubine. If she took her as a concubine because of her married status, it would be a disgrace to her official reputation and she would definitely be punished.
To impeach the censor, if he really likes this girl, he can just take her as a concubine, but even so it is not cost-effective.
Gu Bingqian was sincere, but Feng Ziying couldn't back down. After all, she slept with her, but she was still intact. He got a big advantage, but now she can't even give her the status of concubine, and can only have the status of an outside concubine.
, I’m very embarrassed.
This also made Feng Ziying quite depressed because the outer concubine was not considered a formal concubine. If the entire Zhen family was sentenced to exile and exile, Zhen Baochen would also be included in it.
Feng Ziying cannot talk to Zhen Baochen about this situation yet.
"Besides, there is a lot of room for maneuver in the confinement of troops to the border areas. In border areas, Shuntian Prefecture is also a border area, Datong Prefecture is also a border area, and Yongping Prefecture is also a border area. As long as there is a border wall to garrison troops, it is considered a border area.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be places like Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Guangxi.
Feng Ziying's last words made the Zhen sisters' eyes shine with hope again.
If this is the case, then exile is much more cost-effective than imprisonment. Three years is not long or short, but if it is in a place like Shuntian Mansion, can it be considered a borderland?
Of course, it definitely couldn't be the capital city, but it could be places like Zunhua, Jizhou, and Pinggu.
Seeing the subtle and complicated expressions on the women's faces, Feng Ziying could only say this.
Too much pampering and pampering can easily make women become arrogant. There are indeed too many women around her. Feng Ziying also knows that she should restrain herself. Even if merit is not rewarded, some factors are needed to balance it, but
Do you dare to say that there are more factors in it that are motivated by sexual desire?
It’s really hard to say, or rather, it’s really true.
Compared with the Zhen family's matter, Li Shouzhong's matter is really not a big deal.
Although Li Shouzhong offended several cabinet ministers, adults do not remember the faults of villains. As time has passed, it is almost certain that there will not be too much trouble.
When the stories about the Four Families, the Tang Family, and even some powerful local families were constantly exposed, as well as the Four Kings, who were hiding in Nanjing City and were dragged out and beaten, the newspapers in the Capital City and Jiangnan were hyping these things.
When he was still young, if Li Shouzhong was still remembered by the cabinet bosses, he would be underestimating the magnanimity of the princes. At least on the surface, he would show that he didn't care at all.
However, those who should be convicted must follow the procedures, but this matter of Li Shouzhong will definitely be put at the end.
Now Li Shouzhong is nominally a prisoner awaiting trial, but in fact he is no different from an ordinary person. After paying the bail, he can roam freely at home. He even goes out to drink tea and drink like ordinary people, and writes poems to meet guests. "Water-soluble"
Want to see me?" Feng Ziying asked in surprise: "Did he confiscate the prison?"
"Shui Rong must have been imprisoned, in the Shuntian Mansion Prison." Baoxiang came in and said, "The one who came was a long-term follower of his, who was released on bail."
The Four Kings were really dead tigers. Even Han Xu and Yang Lian didn't bother to fight them. They kept them in the back, their thoughts focused on the waves of powerful crimes.
So the four kings, the so-called four kings themselves, were imprisoned, and everyone else could be released on bail. As long as they could hand over enough money, there would be no problem.
It is also shabby to say that there are four dignified princes. Except for Dongping and Beijing, who are currently in prison, Nan'an and Xining, one is a minor and does not count as involved, and the other is bedridden for a long time.
Because of the involvement, the Mu family of Dongping County and the Wang Shui family of Beijing County actually followed them to the south of the Yangtze River.
Although the two families of Nan'an County Prince and Xining County Prince were also confiscated by the court, at least the court still saved face for these two families and temporarily allowed them to live in their mansions. However, Dongping County Prince's Palace and Beijing County Prince's Palace were earlier
They were inspected and sold, and now they have been bought by two wealthy Shanxi and Shaanxi businessmen.
Feng Ziying felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of sleeping with Shui Zhen, also known as Zhen Baoqi, and Shui Rong's sister Shuitang in Xi'an city.
Although it was because he had fallen into the trap, after all, this kind of thing was still a bit scary. If he really faced Shuirou, he would still be a little scared. Fortunately, this time it was the other person who came with him, so that was okay.
.
I don’t know if Zhen Baoyu and Shuitang returned to Beijing. Maybe they should have returned to Beijing, or were on their way back to Beijing? Emperor Wan Tong pardoned a number of criminals sentenced by the court related to him before he ascended the throne, but he did not.
After the pardon was issued, the court reopened the investigation of the case.
Such a strange situation is also painful. Of course, it is not painful for the cabinet ministers, but for Emperor Wan Tong.
In other words, the main criminals of Dongping County Prince and Beijing County Prince have not yet been convicted, but the family members of the criminal officials who were originally affiliated with them have been pardoned and can go back to Beijing with pride. It is so weird and bizarre.
Just like Jia Zheng was pardoned and returned to Beijing safely, he had already gone to Beijing to reunite with his family and enjoy the fun, but Jia She could not do that because his crime was not to fight against rebellion, but to communicate with foreigners.
Smuggling.
But the real culprit, Sun Shaozu, could leisurely drink tea in the capital city, while his accomplice had to suffer in Xi'an. How could this make sense?
Things in the world are so unreasonable. If you encounter it, you have to suffer it.
This was also a move planned by the imperial court in advance.
You, Emperor Wan Tong, can pardon those who were originally involved in the Jiangnan rebellion case, but the court also has the power to initiate investigations into other cases against these people.
It cannot be said that the imperial court will not pursue you for the crimes of following Emperor Wan Tong to establish a false dynasty and rebelling. Your original crimes of smuggling, offering and accepting bribes, killing people and stealing goods will not be investigated, right?
It seemed to Feng Ziying that the cabinet represented the imperial court, and the imperial court was now quite distinct from Emperor Wan Tong. So who was Emperor Wan Tong? A puppet, or a transitional one?
Feng Ziying thought that if Emperor Wan Tong continued to be like this, the cabinet would be happy to see the results, but if Emperor Wan Tong was unwilling and still struggled, the cabinet would have to activate a backup plan. For example, the sons of Emperor Yonglong might
It is time to jump out and question the legality and rationality of Emperor Wan Tong's succession.
Feng Ziying could even conclude that even if Emperor Wan Tong did not act like a monster, the court might still tease and stimulate Emperor Yonglong's sons and several so-called concubines from time to time, such as Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi, and Guo Qinjun.
Let them speak out.
Although this kind of trick is not very popular, it is quite useful. It doesn't matter whether it will cause Emperor Wan Tong to have an attack or not. After all, it is also a family matter. This is beating someone with pig urine - it doesn't hurt but
Unlucky people will make you want to cry without tears, and you can't stop.
All kinds of thoughts passed through Feng Ziying's heart, "Then let him come in and listen to what he wants to say. I can't say much about this water-soluble matter. Even Mr. Gu Ge has to take it back."
It will be decided after Beijing.”
The elder Shui Rong met Feng Ziying. After he came in, he knelt down to salute and then just kowtowed.
"What's going on? What can I say? Why are you acting like this?" Feng Ziying frowned.
brow.
He and Shui Rong were just face-to-face acquaintances, and there was no deep friendship. Why did this long-term follower come to his door?
"Sir, things have not been going well for the prince since he came to Nanjing. In the past, when the emperor was still in Nanjing, he would help him from time to time. Later, after the news of negotiations with the court came out, the emperor did not care much about the prince and Prince Mu. In the past few years, the prince
The expenses were very high, and the scene couldn't be left behind. Almost all of the prince's mansion and farm in Nanjing had been sold. After this round of imprisonment, the prince said before that he could not be released on bail, so he had to make do with selling the house and farm shop.
The other people in the house were released on bail, but now it is said that the prince can also be released on bail, but the bail amount is 30,000 taels. I borrowed money from everywhere, but it was not enough, and I was desperate, so I thought of asking the Lord..." This
The chief minister is a very loyal and honest person, but looking like this he does seem a little embarrassed.
The Prince of Beijing County was also one of the four founding kings with different surnames when this dynasty was founded. He had mansions, shops and farms in both the northern and southern capitals. Although he has gradually declined over the years, he is so thin that a camel is bigger than a horse, so he still has some foundation.
Even though you have gone through a lot of trouble in the past two years, why do you still ask for help at your door?
Could it be that he knew about his affairs with Shuizhen and Shuitang, and that’s why he came to visit?
Feng Ziying felt a little scared for a while, but also a little suspicious, right?
