Chapter 2696 Gui Zi Scroll: Taking advantage of the fire and finding opportunities to exploit
"Where's the uncle?" Lin Daiyu's belly is big again, but her complexion is still good. She has already given birth to one child, and she no longer has much fear of pregnancy.
"In the front yard, there are many guests." Zijuan held one in her arms and held the other in her arms. The one she was holding was Kang Lang, the third son of Dai Yu, and the one she was holding was her daughter Su Niang.
"Oh? A guest is here at this time? Where is Tan Yatou?"
Daiyu was a little surprised. According to the rules, her husband had to rest in his room tonight. She was pregnant, so his husband would probably go to the house to explore the spring.
If there are still guests coming at this time, it must be something urgent. But what does it mean that there are many guests coming? What urgent matter requires many guests to come?
"The third girl went to the front yard." Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled, "They are some of my classmates, as well as Master Fu and others."
Lin Daiyu became more and more curious.
Of course she knew about Fu Shi, and she was even more familiar with several of Xianggong's classmates because they had a lot of interactions with each other. Daiyu practiced state affairs, He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen and other classmates' families had also met each other and had gone to the theater together, although they could not be said to be too much.
We are very close, but we also keep in touch during holidays.
But these students are not in the same profession. For example, Fu Shi is in Dali Temple, while some of the other classmates are in the Ministry of Husbandry, some in the Ministry of Officials, and some in the Ministry of Rites. How could they gather together at this time?
Here it is.
There were times when we would get together in the past, but we would not choose to discuss it in the evening. We would rather get together on a day when the weather was nice and take a break.
"Didn't your husband say anything?" Daiyu asked casually.
"I didn't say anything, and went directly to the study. I met the third girl, so I went there. Maybe I wanted to ask if I needed to prepare supper..." Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled. The third girl never got pregnant, okay?
It is easy to look forward to the third room's turn today and to stay overnight in her room. Naturally, she is looking forward to coming to the palace early. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen again.
"Go and call Tan girl back. My husband must have something serious to do." Daiyu still knows the importance of things like this, "She's not so unreasonable, right?"
"No, look, isn't the third girl back?" Just as she was saying this, Zijuan saw Tanchun coming over.
Daiyu then raised her eyebrows and stepped forward to greet her: "Three girls, we went to the front yard. Does your husband have anything else to do tonight?"
Hearing the teasing tone in Daiyu's words, Tan Chun rolled his eyes at Daiyu and said, "There's something going on. Maybe tonight will be in vain. Isn't that what you want to hear?"
Daiyu was also amused by Tanchun's words, "Look at how angry you are, the days are long, how can you be like this..."
"Huh, you have something in your belly again, what about me?" Tan Chun sighed, "It's only been a long time. If it continues, I won't be able to sleep well."
"Are they going to discuss things all night tonight?" Daiyu was also curious, "What's the matter?"
"My husband was very serious. I didn't want to ask any more questions, so I asked if I needed to prepare some midnight snacks. My husband said that I should prepare some. It seems that we have to talk in the middle of the night..." Tan Chun looked lonely: "I don't know.
What on earth is it that deserves to be discussed all night long? It doesn’t look like an urgent military matter. What’s more, the Great Zhou Dynasty is booming and the Mongols are also keeping their peace. Could it be that they are the Japanese?"
Daiyu also frowned, "It was Long Jinwei who came this morning, Mr. Li, the former leader of my husband's bodyguard. Now he seems to be in Long Jinwei, talking for a long time in Xianggong's study. Could it be related to his arrival?"
Tan Chun also raised his eyebrows, "Is this really about Captain Long? Then I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Feng Ziying naturally didn't expect that having to discuss things all night would also affect the back house, but the news brought by Li Guibao was indeed too important. He didn't dare to delay it. It was proper to discuss it with everyone as early as possible and come up with strategies.
He estimated that whether it was Gu Bingqian, Guan Yingzhen or Qiao Yingjia, they would contact him soon to win his support, and he also needed to carefully consider the pros and cons here and how to maximize the benefits of his group.
Lian Guo arrived early. This was specially arranged by Feng Ziying. He needed to confirm with Lian Guo in advance. Fu Shi and Pan Ruzhen also arrived soon after, followed by Geng Ruqi, and several other people came one after another.
When Fu Shi and Pan Ruzhen arrived, Feng Ziying had already exchanged information with Lian Guo in advance.
Practicing national affairs was also shocking.
"The emperor is desperate to keep the throne in his lineage. Duke Liuji has figured out the emperor's thoughts well, but if he wants to expel Duke Mingqi from the cabinet, will it cause a shock?"
I am still a little worried about practicing national affairs.
"Dong Liuji must have made arrangements, and Duke Dongxian (Guan Yingzhen) must have a tacit understanding with Duke Liuji. With the support of Duke Dongxian, even if there will be some waves, it will not affect the overall situation. The key is
I heard that Mrs. Jin Qinggong (Ye Xianggao) was seriously ill, and it was estimated that she had only been ill for a few days. Now Jin Qinggong didn't have much thought about foreign affairs, and Ming Qinggong was not strong enough to take the Jiangnan scholars into his pocket...
"
Feng Ziying's words also shocked Lian Guoshi. It is estimated that no one in the court knew about this situation, and only Feng Ziying could know about it.
"The key now is, if Mr. Liu Ji makes up his mind to do this, how should we respond? How to respond is in the best interest of us and beneficial to our career..." Feng Ziying looked at Lian Guo Shi.
Lian Guoshi also slightly chinned his head and thought seriously. This requires considering the pros and cons from the entire group.
The Jiangnan land gentry represented by Huang Ruliang still has considerable influence. Although the development of Jiangnan industry and commerce has caused the coverage of this class to shrink, the inherent foundation is still there. Some people span the two circles. It is difficult to say that he will
Which side to stand on.
"I think it can still be considered." Lian Guoshi thought for a while before slowly saying: "Some of Ming Qi Gong's ideas are no longer suitable. Although Liu Ji Gong's attitude is a bit utilitarian and speculative, it is in the right direction after all.
As for the matter of easy storage and easy emperor change, this is just a means and has nothing to do with the overall situation. The key is the changes in the cabinet, which is related to the development trends and trends in the next few years..."
Feng Ziying was also a little surprised by Lian Guoshi's attitude. He was also worried that Lian Guoshi would be rigid and unwilling to cooperate with Gu Bingqian. Now it seems that two years in the Ministry of Civil Affairs has made Lian Guoshi more mature.
That's a good thing for a group like this.
When Fu Shi, Pan Ruzhen, Geng Ruqi, He Fengsheng and others arrived, everyone's discussions became more intense, but their views gradually converged, that is, they could consider cooperating with Gu Bingqian, but they should strive for greater benefits for their own side.
"Then Ziying, who do you think will take over if Huang Ruliang leaves office?" Geng Ruqi frowned and said: "If Li Banghua takes over, the power of Liuji Gong will be greatly increased. In addition, Huang Ruliang will be expelled, and Zhu Guozhen's business will be
I’m afraid my position as Minister of the Ministry is no longer secure. Have you ever considered this issue..."
Feng Ziying glanced at Geng Ruqi and said, "Brother Chu Cai, what do you mean, we should fight for the position of Minister of Commerce after Zhu Guozhen may step down?"
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, their hearts pounding.
No matter who competes for the position of minister, it means that a second-rank official, or a position that may enter the cabinet in the future, belongs to this group. This will be an extremely rare breakthrough.
Although Feng Ziying was already a cabinet minister, he relied on the influence of the Northern Scholars and Qi Yongtai before this small group was formed, plus his own efforts and opportunities to join the cabinet. It can be said that he has little relationship with this group.
Big relationship.
But now this group is built on his foundation. This group of people have come together because of their common ideas and aspirations. At the same time, they are also eager to go to a higher stage to show themselves, so they need this group to provide them with better services.
Big opportunity.
Now that the opportunity has come, it depends on whether this group, especially the leader of this group, can seize this opportunity.
"Zi Ying, the eight ministers of the Central and Central Dynasties plus the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are ten positions of second-level and second-level positions that are qualified to be canonized as bachelors. If five more bachelors are added, there are actually fifteen positions. In the past, all of them were
It is divided according to regions. Now the scholars from the North, including you, occupy seven, the scholars from Huguang occupy two, and the scholars from Jiangnan occupy six. But when Huang Ruliang comes out of the cabinet, it will definitely be the scholars from Jiangnan who make up the place.
But if Zhu Guozhen leaves, he doesn’t necessarily have to be replaced according to the region. I think you can make different voices on this point."
Geng Ruqi is right.
If we say that there are ten officials of the second rank of Zhongzheng and five cabinet ministers, these fifteen people can be regarded as the core layer of the core. The former are qualified to be canonized as bachelors, while the latter are originally bachelors, or cabinet ministers.
, in addition to these fifteen people, there are also sixteen ministers from the Eight Ministries, two deputy imperial envoys from the Duchayuan, five ministers from the five temples, one general envoy, plus the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, these twenty-five people are considered
Core layer.
Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Jun Yu, what do you think?"
Lian Guoshi was not affected by Feng Ziying's pointed words. After thinking about it, he thought, "It's not impossible, but the only ones who are qualified to compete are me, Brother Chucai and Brother Zhenpu, but our qualifications are slightly shallow."
I'm afraid we may not be able to fulfill our wishes..."
"It all depends on people." Geng Ruqi shook his head: "There will definitely be some wrestling and compromise between Duke Liuji and Duke Dongxian, and Duke Rujung will definitely join in. Duke Liuji, Duke Dongxian and Duke Rujung are actually not related.
Well, it will largely depend on Ziying's full support and help in mediating the situation. Jun Yu actually still has some chances. After all, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and you are just the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce."
Lian Guoshi smiled bitterly: "If I were the left minister, I might still have a chance, but I am the right minister..."
