After coming out of Guan Yingzhen's mansion, Feng Ziying also noticed a lot of changes, but her heart was missing a lot of the previous excitement and pride.
Geng Ruqi, Lian Guoshi and Pan Ruzhen all became successful. Guan Yingzhen did not object and even directly gave support. I thought it would take a lot of words, but it turned out to be so straightforward and quick.
Logically speaking, she should be very happy, but Feng Ziying heard many hidden meanings in this master's words.
Guan Yingzhen was not optimistic about Gu Bingqian. He thought that Gu Bingqian's performance as the first assistant in the past two months was very disappointing, his driving ability was seriously lacking, and he even felt that Gu Bingqian was no longer suitable to be the first assistant.
In fact, Feng Ziying knew this very well.
Gu Bingqian himself had limited talents and virtue, and he only entered the cabinet with the support of Emperor Yonglong. As one of the leaders of the Jiangnan scholars, he did not get the support of his predecessors Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, so he was born with a lame leg.
In addition, the cabinet minister Huang Ruliang, who served as the transfer minister, was very powerful. Instead of competing for the dominance of Jiangnan scholars, he was quite passive.
Under this situation, his authority as the chief assistant was greatly challenged, especially the two most important departments, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs, were significantly lost. This in turn also greatly affected Gu Bingqian's prestige.
Feng Ziying also communicated with Cui Jingrong, the Minister of Personnel, and Chai Ke, the Minister of Hubu. Cui Jingrong and Chai Ke were also in trouble.
Facing two very powerful ministers in charge of the cabinet, Gu Bingqian wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. He often had disagreements with Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang, which made the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs in a dilemma.
This kind of difficulty will inevitably affect the operations of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. The appointment and dismissal of many officials will be affected, and some major expenditure items will also be delayed.
In this regard, Feng Ziying has spent a lot of time to help matchmaking and mediating between several people, but some things can be helped to coordinate, but some things are difficult to do, and they are still at a deadlock.
Guan Yingzhen implicitly mentioned that Gu Bingqian has not been able to truly fulfill his responsibilities as chief assistant. Many things are just a formality and difficult to implement. It is unsustainable to continue like this. The implication is that if Gu Bingqian continues like this, the operation of the cabinet will be compromised.
Problems will arise and governance efficiency will be greatly reduced. We should consider a solution to this matter.
This also made Feng Ziying feel a little unhappy.
Although Gu Bingqian's talents and virtues were limited, he would not have reached this point if the officials and Huang had not obstructed him in many matters.
Some things may not be considered thoroughly by Gu Bingqian, but they can be improved after discussion and coordination. Some things are originally suitable, but are also considered to be difficult, which leads to such a situation, and now they have to use this as an excuse to attack Gu Bingqian.
Feng Ziying doesn’t quite agree.
But it was impossible for him to directly oppose Guan Yingzhen's opinions.
Firstly, Guan Yingzhen had a teacher-student relationship with him after all. Secondly, Gu Bingqian did not handle some things properly. Thirdly, he had not yet expressed his attitude. If he could resolve the situation in a rounded way and barely maintain the situation, Feng Ziying would rather do it himself.
Spend more energy to mediate.
After all, it has only been three months since the cabinet was formed, so it would be too inappropriate to talk about the collapse of the cabinet, and it would be harmful to the prestige of everyone in the cabinet.
Therefore, Feng Ziying also reminded Guan Yingzhen explicitly or covertly that now is not the right time to change the cabinet and change the chief minister. This will have a great negative impact on everyone, and important ministers may not all support it. The most important thing is to really
If the cabinet is to be overthrown, Guan Yingzhen may not be the winner.
Only the last one can impress Guan Yingzhen.
If he were to make wedding clothes for Huang Ruliang, then Guan Yingzhen would rather replace them with Gu Bingqian.
Choosing the right time was Feng Ziying's very vague suggestion. However, Feng Ziying did not mention the right time. She only said that it should be considered at least a year later. Now everyone should tolerate each other for the sake of the country.
Feng Ziying did not go home, but rested at Qin Keqing's place.
The plump and voluptuous woman moaned and murmured under her body, and her breathing became heavier. Feng Ziying finally jumped on her horse and stabbed her with the last stab, like hitting a flying swan. She whined and trembled under her body...
After a long time, Feng Ziying turned over and dismounted, looked at the woman who was still maintaining a certain posture, and asked with some surprise: "Do you really want to give birth?"
"I'm not young anymore, it's time to consider having a child." Qin Keqing crossed her legs, stretched her lotus feet straight, then curled up, pulled the quilt to cover her chest and abdomen, and put her hands under her buttocks
Put on a cushion to help you maintain this posture better.
"Why do you suddenly think of having a child? I've asked you this before. I miss you so much but don't care much about it." Feng Ziying's hands were still lingering on the other person's smooth and smooth body, and she couldn't put it down.
"I went to Tianjin Wei the day before yesterday and saw Huzi,..." Qin Keqing said with an indescribable feeling in her voice, "Huzi is already studying and literate. Sister Feng is very strict about it. The three gentlemen are here."
Huzi is being taught how to read, and there is also a guard who is teaching Huzi martial arts and archery. The other two children of Busia Mara are also studying together. Although they are still a little too young, Sister Feng said they can educate them first...
…”
"Oh? Just because of this? Are you feeling it?" Feng Ziying is very sensitive. He can still understand the state of mind of women in this era. After all, in a patriarchal society, it is difficult for a woman without support to survive, even if she is independent enough like Qin Keqing.
woman.
"Well, I was a little touched, so I came up with this idea. Now that I understand it, let's get pregnant and have a baby sooner."
Ruizhu quietly came in and positioned Qin Keqing's body. She even tied her legs with a special ribbon and hung them up to ensure that the posture was in place. Feng Ziying was also speechless.
This is a bit laborious. It's a big project. Once this woman decides on something, she has to go all out.
"Well, it's better to have a baby early. You're not too young now, so it's the most suitable time to give birth." Feng Ziying said with a smile.
"I also met Li Wan." Qin Keqing said, "There is also a little girl beside her. She is less than three years old. Jia Lan is going to compete in the autumn palace this year, right? It is said that Jia Lan is going out soon.
, having a child by your side can relieve loneliness,..."
Feng Ziying felt the probing gaze of Qin Keqing and looked back calmly: "What do you want to say?"
"Is it yours?" Qin Keqing's words made Ruizhu, who was still cleaning and wiping the two of them, tremble, and her pills were shaking in her thin clothes.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but squeeze it. She was so embarrassed that Ruizhu wanted to cover her breasts, but felt it was inappropriate, so she could only spit with a red face and continue working.
Qin Keqing didn't care either, "Don't you dare to admit it?"
"What are you afraid of admitting?" Feng Ziying said casually, "Do you think what's mine is mine? I have an affair with Sister Wan. Didn't you already know about it?"
Qin Keqing couldn't help but press her body close to Feng Ziying, "Ziying, you really have no taboos. Sister Feng gave birth to your child, and now Li Wan also gave birth to your child. Do you really want to wipe out the Jia family?"
"
"Well, if you also give birth to a child for me, it will really be regarded as a one-stop success." Feng Ziying said nonchalantly: "Is there any censor who will come and hold on to such a thing?"
Qin Keqing shook his head, "No censor would be so blind, but I feel like you have something on your mind today?"
Qin Keqing's senses are very sensitive. After they became husband and wife, Feng Ziying would come to his place to rest from time to time, but she still rarely stayed overnight. Most of the time she came here at noon, but today she came to stay overnight, and she seemed to be very energetic.
While she was venting something, she began to wonder if there was something on the man's mind.
Feng Ziying let out a long breath, "There is nothing wrong with the world and mediocrity disturbs it. This is not right. Mediocre people don't have the ability to disturb the world. Only strong and capable people who have the ability can disturb the world."
"Is it a matter between the DPRK and China?" Qin Keqing liked to hear Feng Ziying talk about the affairs between the DPRK and China, and she especially liked to help Feng Ziying analyze and judge, which made her feel very involved.
"Hmm." Feng Ziying also knew Qin Keqing's preferences. Perhaps her innate bloodline brought some interest in court affairs, "Apart from the affairs of the court, what else can bother me so much?
"
Qin Keqing twisted her body and got closer and closer. Ruizhu went out quietly. She didn't have so many taboos: "Are you having trouble with the elders?"
In theory, Feng Ziying was only in charge of the Ministry of War. Qin Keqing also knew that Feng Ziying had a close relationship with Sun Chengzong, and Xiong Tingbi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, also had a decent relationship. If there would be no disagreements on matters in charge of his duties, then it could only be because something was wrong among the cabinet ministers.
Qin Keqing even knew that Feng Ziying's role in the cabinet was not only in charge of the Ministry of War, but also played a coordinating and lubricating role between the chief minister and several other cabinet ministers.
"It's not unpleasant to say the least, but I always feel that if internal friction continues like this, this cabinet will be worrying." Feng Ziying was very relaxed in front of Qin Keqing, and she had been like this a long time ago.
Qin Keqing was very interested in court affairs, and could get some information through various channels, and even used the channels through which Emperor Wan Tong could contact her, which shows how extraordinary this woman was.
Of course, now that Emperor Wan Tong has died down, Qin Keqing's channel advantage has disappeared, but his interest has continued unabated. This is reflected in Feng Ziying, who prefers to act as a consultant who makes suggestions. It feels like she is replacing Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing.
, of course this is impossible.
"Gu Chief Assistant can't control the situation? Is it the official second assistant or Huang Gelao? Or both?" Qin Keqing thought quickly, "If that's the case, it's not a bad thing for you. The position of Chief Assistant is not just for anyone.
Even if there is dissatisfaction among the cabinet ministers, among the important ministers in the court, most people definitely prefer stability over turmoil. No one can guarantee what they will gain or lose in the next round of adjustments, so you can
