"Well, I know that my sisters are all worried about my husband. It's windy and rainy outside, but I believe that my husband can still support our Feng family."
Feng Ziying noticed a look of worry on the faces of Baochai, Daiyu, Tanchun and Xiangyun.
Obviously, the turmoil in the capital city still made them feel something.
The three vying for supremacy in the cabinet all have close relationships with their husbands.
Gu Bingqian was promoted by Qi Yongtai, and he has always looked after Feng Ziying.
Guan Yingzhen was one of his teachers, and Huguang scholars had always had a good relationship with Feng Ziying, especially Chai Ke and Yang He, who were very close.
Qiao Yingjia could be regarded as Feng Ziying's earliest "benefactor" and Daiyu's "savior". During the Linqing uprising, if he, who was then the patrol censor, had not pushed hard to send troops, perhaps the uprising would have become out of control.
, it is not known whether Daiyu can survive that storm, not to mention Qiao Yingjia is still the standard leader of the northern scholars.
"But my husband, you have to make a choice. How will you face them then?" Baochai looked worried, "If you agree in person but fail to fulfill your promise in the end, won't you ruin your reputation?"
"
"That kind of thing is definitely impossible to happen. From the time I was little Feng Xiuzhuan to the little Supervisor Feng, and now to the current Little Feng Ge Lao, how can the reputation I have finally built up be destroyed easily?" Feng Ziying shook her head and chuckled, "Sisters.
Don’t worry, my husband has taken these things into consideration.”
Tanchun was still worried: "But sometimes you really have no choice. Is your husband too arrogant?"
"Yes, everyone wants to win, but my husband and his allies only have a few votes. How many votes can we give to the three of them?"
Daiyu is also curious about why her husband is so confident. Logically speaking, this is a multiple-choice question. It is either this or that, and there is no way to avoid it.
"The secret must not be leaked. We will know it when the time comes." Feng Ziying smiled, "Sisters, just wait for the good news."
In fact, Feng Ziying has been evaluating the cabinet competition in half a month.
At this time, the situation of confrontation between the three Gu Guanqiao has been formed, but no one is absolutely sure.
Gu Bingqian's weakness is that he has too little control over the Jiangnan scholars and easily loses votes. It is uncertain whether he can win back these votes through compromises and deals at the last moment.
Guan Yingzhen's weakness is that the base of Huguang scholars is too small to support a big event, and he needs to rely on the marginal votes of Jiangnan and Beidi scholars for support.
Qiao Yingjia's own style caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the northern scholars. This required Han Xu and Sun Juxiang to help him channel and cohere, but it was difficult to determine the effect.
They all have shortcomings, but they also all have hope.
This has created the current chaotic situation.
Feng Ziying has also thought about herself. Like Guan Yingzhen, her base is too small, even one vote less than Guan Yingzhen. However, her advantage is that she has good relations with all parties, but she has to translate it into votes for herself.
, it is also very difficult.
He was a little moved by the vows made by the Weng brothers before they left, but he also knew that he couldn't put too much hope in this. After all, scholars had a great influence on businessmen, and it was not necessarily possible for businessmen to influence the scholars in turn.
But until the last moment, who can say clearly about many things?
*******
"Are you saying that Ziying gave a positive answer to everyone?" Gu Bingqian stroked his beard and pondered, "Ziying is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. He never breaks his promise."
"But this is the news we got. Both Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia should have received Feng Keng's promise. How to explain this?" Li Banghua and Zhu Guozhen both looked at each other. Unexpectedly, at this time, this one still didn't believe it.
"If Ziying really feels that it is too shameful to vote for me, he will make it clear that he will not fool me by agreeing to me in person and voting for someone else. This will only damage his own reputation and his future.
Yuanda, to be blunt, in ten years at most, this first assistant will be in his pocket, and he can afford to wait, so it is impossible to ruin his reputation in this way."
Although Gu Bingqian is not authentic in many aspects and lacks courage, he is very accurate in judging people.
Li Banghua pondered deeply, "Does he think we can't pass the voting test, even if he gives us all the votes he has?"
Zhu Guozhen was also shocked and a little unbelievable: "Is he so sure? Why is he so sure?"
Gu Bingqian was a little hesitant. The Jiangnan scholars were too loose, far less united than the Huguang scholars and the Northern scholars.
When Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe were around, they could still manage to win over each other, but once he came on stage, he collapsed, which also made him very frustrated.
There are also some people who are simply dissatisfied with themselves. Although they intend to rebuild a good relationship with them, the results cannot be guaranteed.
When Gu Bingqian was suffering in pain, Guan Yingzhen also sighed.
The news received from the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River and the scholars in the north was equally mixed, with some clearly agreeing, some wanting to see how Gu Bingqian got the votes, and some having difficulty making a decision until the last minute.
There are even people who feel so distraught that they don’t plan to vote at all. The people who went to lobby are not sure when they come back, and it is uncertain whether they can be persuaded to vote.
Feng Ziying made it very clear that he would support it, but he did not think that after getting his votes, he would be able to get a majority. This inference made Guan Yingzhen quite troubled.
Also feeling uneasy was Qiao Yingjia.
Qiao Yingjia believes that Guan Yingzhen should give up his unrealistic ideas. There has never been a precedent for Huguang scholars to be the chief assistant, and Huguang scholars do not have the influence to dominate the cabinet. The chief assistant should still be among Jiangnan scholars and Beidishi.
If he is elected as the first assistant, he is still willing to let Huguang scholars serve as the second assistant.
But this suggestion was regarded as humiliating by Guan Yingzhen.
Without the support of the Huguang scholars, Qiao Yingjia felt a little overwhelmed by the Beidi scholars themselves.
Twenty-one votes, even if all the Northern scholars and the Feng clan voted for him, it would still be difficult to get a majority, not to mention that the communication work done by Han Xu and Sun Juxiang among the Northern scholars still failed to achieve the best results.
, there are still one or two people who have not made a clear stance.
However, Qiao Yingjia also managed to win a few votes from the Jiangnan scholars who were now somewhat loose, which gave him some hope.
Because he saw Gu Bingqian's weakness from this point, a loose group of Jiangnan scholars was absolutely beneficial to him. Gu Bingqian's failure meant that his possibility of winning would be greatly increased.
As for Guan Yingzhen, Qiao Yingjia doesn’t think the other party can stop him from ascending to the top. ()
