Walking out of Wang Xifeng's courtyard, Feng Ziying was also very anxious. Anyone who encounters such a thing would be restless.
This frank relative spent a long time in bed, almost ready to eat, but he didn't expect to see Yingchun and Tanchun coming, which made him sheath the knife in shame, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the drunkenness gradually faded away, and Feng Ziying also knew that she was a little crazy, and she actually wanted to be wild at this time. If she was really hit by someone, she would not be afraid of not doing it for the rest of her life?
Shaking her head, Feng Ziying laughed at herself, saying that in the future it would be better to be more cautious about things like this. Don't do this kind of licking the honey at the edge of the knife again. If you don't pay attention, you will cut yourself.
As soon as he reached the corner gate and prepared to go back home, he saw Jia Zheng getting off the carriage and was greatly surprised to see Feng Ziying.
"Brother Keng, where are you going?"
"Uncle Zheng Shi, my nephew had dinner with Baoyu, Huan Ge'er and Lan Ge'er in Baoyu Courtyard, and was about to go back to the house." Feng Ziying didn't want to say hello to Jia Zheng, but when she met him, she
Can't see the gift.
"Hi, when did you come back?" Jia Zheng talked to Feng Ziying affectionately, "Let's go and sit in my uncle's study."
Feng Ziying wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it, so she could only follow Jia Zheng into the house.
In Jia Zheng's study, Jia Zheng also asked about Feng Ziying's situation in Yongping Mansion. Feng Ziying also patiently made an introduction. Jia Zheng listened with high interest and sighed, which also surprised Feng Ziying.
In his impression, Jia Zheng was not very interested in these specific matters. What he preferred was a leisurely position that was step-by-step and did not have many specific matters. For example, a foreigner in the Ministry of Industry was very suitable for him.
Several other members of the Communist Party of China had to take on specific tasks, but everyone knew his temperament, so they allowed him to live in the Ministry of Works.
But it seems that Jia Zheng is a little different today.
"Uncle Zheng Shi, local affairs are complicated, so you have to be patient. When my nephew first went there, he mainly had to cross the river slowly by feeling the stones, and gradually became familiar with it. However, there is such a process. My nephew sees that Uncle Shi also
I have some interest. Could it be that Uncle Shi also intends to go to Beijing?" Feng Ziying didn't know what Jia Yuanchun told Jia Zheng, but Jia Zheng was so silent, which made him very confused.
"Well, to be honest with my nephew, my concubine also brought a letter from the palace, saying that if uncle Yu has a chance, he might as well go out to the capital and give it a try. He has been staying in the capital all his life. He is really a little tired of it. If he has a chance, Yu
Uncle is also willing to give it a try."
Jia Zheng still looked a little shy, as if he had no confidence in going to Beijing to serve as an official, and was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the outside world.
However, in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Zheng seems to have left Beijing to work as a scholar in Jiangxi, which can be regarded as a sinecure. I wonder where Jia Zheng can go in this life.
While he was thinking about it, he saw Baoxiang poking his head outside the door of Jia Zheng's study. Feng Ziying finally found an opportunity and immediately asked: "So you don't understand the rules? I'm talking to Uncle Zheng Shi, what's going on?"
"My father-in-law has come to the palace. I heard that the emperor wants to summon me. Please come into the palace immediately." Baoxiang said with lowered eyelids.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying was surprised.
When he came back, he was summoned by the cabinet. He also roughly knew the reason. Yuguan opened a port, Yongping opened a mine and smelting workshop, and the Qing army involved the Ministry of War, and offended so many gentry. It was normal for him to be called back to ask what happened.
, but this should not be enough for the emperor to summon him.
As far as he knew, the emperor was in poor health, and the morning court had been continuously postponed and compressed. Now he might not be able to hold a morning court every ten days, and the afternoon court was also very short, and it was even rarer to see foreign ministers in the east study room.
Jia Zheng was even more shocked.
Feng Ziying just came back and said that he was summoned by the cabinet to learn about the situation. He was still comforting himself. Maybe Yongping Mansion has a special geographical location, a hub connecting Liaodong and Guan Nei, and he was Qi Yongtai's favorite disciple, so he called back.
If you ask, the other cabinet elders are just trying to give Qi Yongtai some face.
But it was different when the emperor summoned him. Qi Yongtai didn't have that much face to command the emperor. It seemed that the emperor himself wanted to see Feng Ziying.
How could Feng Ziying and his virtue be summoned by the emperor again and again?
Although Jia Zheng was not involved in affairs in the Ministry of Industry, he was still very interested in the various gossips circulating in the six ministries. He could hear countless news every day with his ears open.
Feng Ziying was summoned twice by the emperor when she was editing the Hanlin Academy. This was not a secret, and it once aroused heated discussions among many middle and lower-level officials in the court. Even some ministers and ministers were probably a little jealous in their hearts. Jia Zheng also thought that
It must be that Feng Ziying's strategy of opening up the sea was too in line with the emperor's appetite, so he summoned him twice to ask for details.
Now that the strategy of opening up the sea has long been a foregone conclusion, and Feng Ziying was once "suppressed" to leave the capital to serve, everyone thought that Feng Ziying's career should return to a normal track, such as serving as Tongzhi of Yongping Prefecture for three years.
If your performance is average, you may be transferred to a certain government office to serve as a colleague to continue your experience. If your performance is outstanding, you may be promoted to the fourth rank, such as serving as a counselor in the Chief Envoy of a certain province.
If it were anyone else, they would basically have to serve for the second term before they could be promoted. However, if Feng Ziying is replaced, there is a high probability that he will be promoted and enter the rank of fourth-grade official after completing his three-year term.
However, Jia Zheng felt that he still underestimated Feng Ziying's influence. Feng Ziying just returned to Beijing yesterday. Today, after the cabinet ministers had finished questioning, the emperor wanted to summon him again before the next day. This was too exaggerated.
Thinking about the fact that the fourth-grade prefects from other places rarely returned to Beijing every year, if they wanted to get an audience with the emperor alone, they could only meet in groups, which is enough to prove that Feng Ziying was favored.
"Shibo,..."
"My dear nephew, go quickly. The emperor's summons is a great joy. How can we delay it? Uncle Yu, you can come at any time. Uncle Yu is also very happy that you can come and sit for a while. Baoyu, Brother Lang
Over there, go take a look and give them some guidance. Hey, Brother Huan has gone to the academy now, Uncle Yu has put down a stone, and Aunt Zhao is much more at ease now..."
Jia Zheng kept talking about his family affairs, which made Feng Ziying feel as if Jia Zheng had aged a lot all of a sudden.
"Anyway, you can come more often, to the sisters, to Baoyu and Brother Lang. By the way, a few days ago, your pardoning uncle also mentioned that Brother Cong is now studying. If you can go and give some encouragement,
, is also good,..."
Jia Cong? Feng Ziying still has some impression that he is Jia She's concubine. He is two years younger than Jia Landu. I'm afraid he is still less than ten years old now, right?
It seems that the Jia family thinks that they are big trees and they are like vines, but the girls of the Jia family seem to have the same feeling as they are destined to be inseparable, and they are entangled, but there is always a gap between them.
, is difficult to overcome, maybe we can get a breakthrough in Yingchun or Tanchun?
The chamberlain waiting outside the Donghua Gate waited for Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying naturally couldn't help but apologize and a gold lock. The little chamberlain also smiled brightly and happily led Feng Ziying in.
"Lord Feng, the Emperor doesn't often summon foreign ministers to the East Study Room anymore. You are still the first to do so in the past half month."
"Oh, maybe it's because the weather is so hot. The sun is really oppressive." Feng Ziying rushed to Donghua Gate from Rongguo Mansion. Even though she was traveling by car, the sun was really hot at this time, and Feng Ziying was still sweating profusely.
The young chamberlain was also a little surprised when he saw that Feng Ziying had no intention of inquiring about anything.
In the past, when it was his turn to bring foreign ministers to an audience, these ministers would more or less ask some questions. Eunuch Zhou also told them that as long as they asked, they could answer as required. If they didn't ask, they could also bring up some topics to distract them.
They asked questions.
Today, it was the first time that Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan was brought into the palace. Seeing that he was so generous, he thought that the other party would ask some questions, but he did not expect that the other party would have such a steady tone.
Feeling a little surprised and a little unwilling, the young chamberlain added: "Yes, the weather is too great. Last time Master Zheng of the Ministry of Revenue came to see him, the emperor also specially rewarded him with a drink and gave him a seat to answer questions..."
"Bo Xiaogong is old and the emperor is considerate. Naturally, the ministers are very grateful." Feng Ziying said calmly.
Seeing Feng Ziying close the door with another word, the waiter became more and more depressed, but he did not dare to say anything further. This person was of low status, but he was very popular in the capital, and the emperor seemed to value him very much.
Feng Ziying didn't know who ordered this little chamberlain to come here. If these words were accidentally missed, he would not care, but this repeated leakage was obviously not the rule in the palace.
Feng Ziying didn't believe that a golden ingot could have such a big effect. Although there were no secrets in the palace, secrets could not be discovered in this way.
East study.
Emperor Yonglong rubbed his temples, feeling more and more that age was not forgiving. Since the year before last, he had felt lack of energy, so he almost gave up all activities. Except for Qing Dynasty and court affairs, he did not care much about other affairs.
Even the palace affairs were handed over to Xu.
Her sons have all grown up, and Mrs. Xu can't do anything no matter what she wants. As long as she doesn't give her a chance to get involved in the imperial court, she will never be able to exert influence like a concubine.
The situation was very bad, Emperor Yonglong knew this very well, but he always thought that he could control it, but he failed to calculate that his physical condition declined so quickly that he himself felt a little unprepared.
The people over there seemed to be aware of something, and the activities became more and more frequent. It was a pity that his father still turned a blind eye, which made Emperor Yonglong feel hateful and worried in his heart.
His sons are too immature. Maybe he should let them go out for training earlier. But now that the situation is becoming more and more delicate, Emperor Yonglong dare not let go easily. Once something goes wrong and internal and external troubles break out, it will be an uncontrollable situation.
.
Thinking of this, Emperor Yonglong became increasingly depressed.
