  Chapter 752 Selection of E-shaped scroll

Feng Ziying sighed, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. It is only natural for Wen Ruo to choose to go to the Ministry of War. The current imperial court is struggling with internal and external troubles. What the Ministry of War needs to face is the most difficult priority. You can breathe a sigh of relief."

  If someone else said such a thing, Yang Sichang could accept it calmly, but he didn't dare to be so arrogant when facing Feng Ziying.

   "Ziying, logically, you should go to the Ministry of War. Why don't you and I both go to the Ministry of War and work together to do something?"

The five people here are all the second generation of officials, Hou Xun and Hou Ke's father is the minister of Taipusi, and Shen Zizheng's father is the magistrate of Dongchang Prefecture, so they have some confidence in such things that dare to boast about their whereabouts in advance , and don't care.

"Wherever you go, you are doing things for the imperial court. It is enough for the Ministry of War to go there, and at least one of Dazhang and Feixiong will stay in the Ministry of War, right? Can't everyone in our department go to the Ministry of War?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "As for where I'm going, I'd like to go down and do some work there."

   "What? Go somewhere?" Feng Ziying's words made the four people including Yang Sichang and Shen Zizheng unbelievable.

  Yang Sichang was thinking that if Feng Ziying was unwilling to go to the Ministry of War, there must be a better place to go, such as the Ministry of Officials or the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This is simply the worst choice, but anyone who has the opportunity to stay in the capital city, who would be willing to go to the place, and the place is basically the choice of the third-class Jinshi, and the second-class Jinshi hardly chooses the place, let alone Feng Ziying. Entering the Hanlin Academy in advance and obtaining the status of editor, how would you choose where to go?

This is no better than later generations going to a local job to exercise. After two or three years, you can go back and be promoted to a higher level. Now you are a real local official. Strictly follow the local assessment, seniority and grades will become an important basis .

  Moreover, the achievements of local officials are also largely influenced by their superiors, far from being as easy to attract the attention of important ministers as they were in the DPRK.

"Ziying, why do you want to go to this place?" Hou Xun asked first. Although he didn't want to specialize in one line like Yang Sichang, he was more sensitive to the changes in the current situation between the DPRK and China. "Is it the strategy to open the sea that you proposed?" Regarding, I heard from my father that the scholars in the Northland had some opinions on the strategy of Kaihai, and thought that the Northland had suffered a lot,..."

"Well, what brother Ruogu said has some factors in this regard, but it is not the main one. The benefits of opening the sea are immediate. The benefits of the imperial court and the south have also gained more opportunities. The benefits of the north are indeed not short-term. It may take three to five years to see what I saw, but you can’t sell me because of this court? It’s okay to keep me in the Imperial Academy, or send me to places like the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment to cool off Bar?"

  Feng Ziying smiled openly.

"The main reason is that I feel that I will go down to practice and get familiar with the actual situation of the prefectures and counties, so as to see what are the problems in these prefectures and counties in our Dazhou. Why are there so many natural and man-made disasters every year? Jing, or the folk customs are not good, how to solve it..."

   These words are a bit serious, even Yang Sichang and the Hou brothers feel a little awe.

  If Feng Ziying really thinks this way, it can be said that the other party is worthy of the title of leader of young scholars in the North.

   This is really worrying about the world first.

   But Shen Zizheng didn't care about it. Hearing that Feng Ziying really wanted to go down, he couldn't help but said: "Ziying, if you go down, what will my elder sister do?"

   None of them thought that there was a brother-in-law hiding here. Feng Ziying thought about it, "Your sister will naturally follow me, and I told your sister about it."

  Shen Zizheng was very depressed.

  This Feng Ziying doesn't know what she's thinking. She just got married, and she doesn't cherish the good opportunity in the capital city, but she wants to get a job. Do you really think it's so easy to be a parent and official here? Moreover, according to his tone, he still has to go down to the prefecture level, which is really going deep into the people.

"Ziying, it's a big matter. You still need to think about it. I'm afraid you won't be able to come back in a year or a half. There are many cunning people, if you want to tame this group of people, it is quite a tricky thing, but without these people as helpers, it will be difficult to move forward in the local area."

  Yang Sichang's words were sincere, and they were also a reminder to Feng Ziying not to act impulsively.

"Thank you Wen Ruo for your concern, I will think it over clearly." Feng Ziying is unwilling to entangle this issue too much, "But Wen Ruo went to the Ministry of War, I am afraid that we should pay more attention to the war of Liutu in the southwest. I think Bozhou is just a The point of the fire, maybe Shuixi and Yongning also have such troubles. If the southwest is like a spark, it will burn out, it will endanger the safety of the whole Zhou Dynasty, maybe Jianzhou Jurchen or Mongolia People and others with ulterior motives are waiting for this opportunity."

  Feng Ziying’s words made everyone feel a little creepy. If both the Jianzhou Jurchen and Mongols think this is an opportunity and attack Da Zhou together, then Da Zhou is really in crisis.

  Yang Sichang frowned, "Ziying, your prophecy really makes people unhappy, is there any basis?"

"What basis do you need? These chieftains in the southwest are really in chaos. Is it possible to calm down in a year or so? We can all think of this by pressing the gourd and floating the ladle. Do you think Nurhachi and the Mongols will disagree with this?" I don’t know? Don’t say that Jianzhou Jurchen and Mongols don’t have eyeliners in our capital city. Some eyeliners later became insiders, and even went deep into the homes of many of our princes and ministers. How many years did Long Jinwei not find out? A few such characters? But I'm sure there are many more that haven't been found."

Feng Ziying's cold voice made Yang Sichang even more anxious. He couldn't help resisting and said: "Even if there is a problem in the Southwest, it is impossible to mobilize the troops from the nine sides. There will be a chance."

"Hmph, these are just some of what we have learned and discovered. Many things happened when we didn't expect them, so you were not prepared at all." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Wen Ruo, you should understand. Only when we understand can we calm down." Set your mind to find a countermeasure.”

  Yang Sichang came to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings originally excitedly, but in the end he left with a heavy expression on his face.

  He thought that he had discovered and controlled the changes in Bozhou in advance, but he didn't expect Feng Ziying to say that both Shuixi and Yongning had abnormalities, which made him unable to sit still.

   In addition, Feng Ziying also "alarmed" that the Jianzhou Jurchens, like the Mongols, may take advantage of the fire and loot, which made him even more worried.

  Wailang, a member of the military department, entered the state quickly enough, and he got into it before the court even started to study it.

  Yang Sichang's arrival also ruined Feng Ziying's good mood.

He knew that there would be chaos in the Southwest sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. If Yang Sichang's intelligence clues were correct, the Bozhou Rebellion might be imminent, and it could even break out at any time. How is it going.

Sometimes this kind of thing does not depend on the determination and attitude of both parties, but depends on some subtle factors that no one can predict, especially some unexpected small incidents, like a pile of dead grass that has been extremely dry. An unintentional spark can make it ignite a raging fire.

   Just like I predicted the Ningxia rebellion at the beginning, it may be tomorrow, it may be next year, or it may even be three years later, everything is possible.

As for the imperial court, it is even difficult to make more actions, so as not to stimulate the other party to explode suddenly. After all, for the imperial court, it is best to avoid it, and it is best to delay it if it cannot be avoided. Prepare.

  This bad mood lasted until the arrival of Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and a lot of classmates, and it was a little relieved.

  By this time, every student is already thinking about the arrangements for the end of the political observation period in a few months, and this time the gathering at Feng Ziying's home will undoubtedly become a discussion conference.

Naturally, the small study cannot accommodate so many students. Fortunately, Dongfu has already built a small garden at the back. There are also some buildings in the garden, such as a not-so-small warm pavilion, which happens to be adjacent to the garden. Connected by a corridor.

  Chu Qing after the snow, while looking at the snow scene in the garden, return to the warm pavilion for a few drinks when your feet are freezing, it can be said to be a rare enjoyment.

"Ziying, this little garden of yours is quite chic. It's a bit small in size, but it has a special flavor. There are warm pavilions, pavilions, corridors and fishing platforms, lush vegetation, stone paths covering the ground, and a small specially dug pond. It's a bit like picking chrysanthemums and going southeast. Why, the Kaihai business is still in its infancy, so you plan to live in seclusion?" He Fengsheng joked with Feng Ziying, "An Shi can't come out, like the common people, this sentence needs you Come on me?"

   "Ke Yao, why don't you see me idle for a while? You only went to Jiangnan once, but I ran back and forth twice plus a trip to Xijiang!"

  Feng Ziying stared at He Fengsheng.

This guy has become more active since he came back from Jiangnan. Perhaps it is the special status of Huguang scholars that allows them to get along with Jiangnan scholars without attracting the resentment of northern scholars. Guan Yingzhen probably appreciates it too. His fellow Huguang student, judging from his posture, this guy might really be left in the Zhongshu Department and go to the Zhongshu Sheren.

"Leisure? Ziying, is it time to be free?" Fan Jingwen snarled Feng Ziying angrily, "Kaihai is very kind to Jiangnan, but what about Beidi? Denglai's talk is very exciting, that Wang Ziteng wants to leave from the court One million taels of silver, but the construction of the shipyard is slow, and there is no way to build the naval fleet. I think this guy is another Li Chengliang!"

As the Jianzhou Jurchen's offensive against the Ula tribe was contained, the relationship between the Chahar people and the Great Zhou seemed to have improved. In addition, Shuerhaqi and his son were successfully rescued and fled to Heichamu under the protection of Kaiyuan Guards. Raising the banner of the Right Guard of Jianzhou, after Feng Tang became the governor of Jiliao and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, it seemed that the situation in Liaodong had been greatly improved at once, which made the attack on Li Chengliang in the court more and more fierce.

  Even Li Chengliang himself, who had retired from his illness, felt uneasy and frequently apologized.

  Now apologizing is regarded as voluntary admission of mistakes, but it will be difficult to say when the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate frantically load their bullets.

  However, Feng Ziying knew from her father's letter that Liaodong generals, including her father, did not view Li Chengliang like the one-sided accusations and scoldings of the court.

   To be precise, my opinion on Li Chengliang is still half and half.

  In the early stage, we did a good job, and in the later stage, we did make many mistakes, some of which were serious, but these mistakes had a lot to do with the support of the imperial court.

Letting Nurhachi unify the Jianzhou Jurchen was regarded as Li Chengliang's mistake, but when the Jianzhou Jurchen annexed the Haixi Jurchen Huifa Department and Hada Department, the imperial court did not give enough support to Liaodong. This is also a big reason why he has not yet fully grasped Liaodong Town after taking office in Liaodong.

  Of course Li Chengliang made a big mistake on the issue of abandoning the Six Forts of Kuandian, but it also had a lot to do with the short-sightedness and weakness of Xiao Daheng, then Minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Chengliang cannot be completely blamed.

  If Xiao Daheng is to be held accountable, I am afraid that Emperor Yuanxi, who has become the Supreme Emperor, and even the cabinet at that time will have a lot of responsibility.

"Mengzhang, your words are too absolute. Denglai has grown from scratch. How can it be compared with military mansions like Jiliao or Xuanfu? Even the three sides are much stronger than Denglai. , Civil affairs may be weaker, but we will not slacken in the construction of the life-and-death line between Denglai and southern Liaoning."

  Feng Ziying defended Wang Ziteng a few words. Fan Jingwen's views are too extreme. Of course, this also means that the scholars in the north are becoming more and more dissatisfied with the strategy of opening the sea.

  Feng Ziying has now become more and more aware that she has acted like a coercion, which has indeed brought immediate and great benefits to the court. The emperor, the cabinet and even the six ministries are very satisfied with her, and her reputation is also great.

  But as the halo slowly faded, some hidden problems began to be exposed.

You, a guy known as the young leader of the northern scholars, actually came up with a strategy that benefited Jiangnan greatly. As for the benefits of the court, it was selectively ignored by the northern scholars, and that is not their concern , They only saw the elation of the gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but the gentry in the north got nothing.

People like Wang Xiangchun and others in their department have already publicly criticized themselves, and there are also hard-core scholars in the north, such as Zhang Woxu, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Feng Shengming, the doctor of Shandong Qingli Division of the Ministry of Punishment, who are also very impressed by Feng Ziying's strategy of opening the sea. Criticize more, thinking that it has failed to bring benefits to the Northland.

besides.
