Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2678 Guizi scroll is a match made in heaven, interests are bound

After sending Wang Ziteng away, Feng Tang fell into deep thought.

Only at this time did he know that Wang Ziteng's niece, that is, the ex-wife of Jia Lian in the Rongguo Mansion, um, the woman after her divorce, actually gave birth to Ziying's son.

And in terms of age, he should be the oldest of his many grandchildren.

In other words, the children born to this woman are all her eldest grandsons.

Of course, it is impossible for this woman to enter the Feng family, so the identity of this child is just a little embarrassing.

However, this is not the main point of Wang Ziteng's conversation with him, but he mentioned it in passing, which surprised Feng Tang very much.

This little bastard is really careless in this regard, he dares to touch any woman, he will touch any woman.

If you sleep, you can sleep, and you have given birth to all the children. If you are caught by the censors, I'm afraid there will be a lot of noise again.

But it seems that Ziying's current status, sleeping with a woman outside seems to be regarded as an anecdote.

If the romantic and suave Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan has no scandals outside, it seems that he is ashamed of his romantic and suave reputation.

The Jia family has nothing to worry about, the only thing that might be a bit embarrassing is that if a few daughters-in-law know about it, it will inevitably lead to restlessness in the backyard.

The two-bedroom and three-bedroom concubine, the eldest wife, and the niece of Wang Ziteng are all cousins, but Ziying somehow gave birth to a child with this woman, and she felt uncomfortable anyway.

Feng Tang actually didn't care much about his son's affairs with women. In his opinion, as long as he could give birth to a few offspring and continue the incense, then everything else didn't matter.

He was a little worried before, but as the three wives and concubines passed through the door one after another, they continued to blossom and bear fruit, and later he felt at ease.

He also knew that the Haixi Jurchen gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for Ziying. He even heard that Ziying was entangled with the girl from the Zhen family when she was in Jinling.

Ziying didn't deliberately hide many things from him, so he didn't care about these things.

But for things like Wang Ziteng's niece, Feng Tang felt that Ziying had to be reminded.

Don't be too indulgent and presumptuous, after all, the identities are different now, and there are more people staring at them, and things that endanger the future also need to be more cautious.

Even if such trivial matters cannot bring you down, they may also damage your reputation in the cabinet. Maybe the next time you enter the second assistant or even touch the first assistant, you will be brought out to talk about the matter.

Thinking of this, Feng Tang was thinking about the deep meaning hidden in Wang Ziteng's words this time.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, or the Privy Council.

This group of people is focused on restoring the original Metropolitan Government or the Privy Council.

This Metropolitan Governor's Mansion (Privy Council) is different from the Privy Council in the former Song Dynasty. It is an institution where real warriors exercise military power.

When the Great Zhou established the country, it was initially named the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion, and later changed to the Privy Council, but finally changed to the Five Armies Governor’s Mansion, but the powers and responsibilities were completely changed. Almost all powers were taken away by the Ministry of War. The military governor's mansion has completely become a nursing home, even inferior to Qingshui yamen such as Honglu Temple and Taichang Temple.

They believe that the status of warriors is now suppressed by scholars and officials, and they are reduced to second-class, which directly leads to the low status of the entire army in the country. They hope to reform the current model and re-establish the Metropolitan Governor's Office or the Privy Council, with warriors as Privy Envoys and Deputy Privy Councilors Envoys and privy secretaries, in charge of the entire imperial court's army.

The question is is such a proposal likely to find support in the current cabinet?

Wang Ziteng even proposed that the privy envoy should have the power to veto the cabinet's votes related to military affairs, which made Feng Tang feel impossible.

How could the scholars possibly compromise such power?Even Ziying might find it hard to agree.

Both Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong believed that the power of scholars and civil servants is too great, which seriously squeezes the living space of warriors, and that warriors are reduced to vassals. Even in military affairs, which should be the voice of warriors, they can only listen to those who have never been involved in the military affairs. Civil servants who have never dealt with officers and soldiers before the battle, and do not know what war is, the result is that they seriously delay the opportunity of the war, leading to the failure of the battle or even failure.

Ziying's entry into the cabinet gave them hope, so they hoped that Ziying could speak out on behalf of the warriors and fight for their power for the warriors.

Wang Ziteng's cryptic attitude also let Feng Tang see that these people regard Ziying as a representative of the warrior group, and are willing to support and support Ziying's struggle for power in the cabinet.

Is this a curse or a blessing?

Feng Tang also knew that as a cabinet minister in charge of military affairs, with the full support of the warriors, you will definitely be successful, but this also means that you may be rejected by civil servants, and Ziying herself is also a civil servant.

Who is Ziying's basic disk?

Well, the word "basic disk" came out of Ziying's mouth, and it probably means the foundation.

Wang Ziteng also mentioned that now Ziying not only has the support of the armies in the border towns, but also all the armies in Beijing are under the control of Ziying. What's even more rare is that the merchants in Shanshan and Jiangnan are also very fond of Ziying. Supporting and optimistic, it is precisely because of this that Ziying has the capital to talk and wrestle with other cabinet ministers.

With the support of businessmen and warriors, can you wrestle with scholars?Feng Tang was suspicious.

What's more important is that he has talked with his son several times, and he still hasn't figured out what his son's ultimate goal is. It seems that he has been fighting for the cabinet ministers and even the chief minister, but the relationship with the warrior The close relationship and close attitude to the business community are not like it.

There is no shoufu who does not maintain the basics of his own scholars, but pleases warriors and businessmen, which seems more like digging his own grave.

This was also what Feng Tang couldn't understand and couldn't understand the most.

Maybe this son of himself is not a mortal by nature, and he is destined to have his own way to go, and may even overthrow everything that exists.

Feng Ziying didn't know that her father was thinking about her. At this time, as a new cabinet minister, he was also thinking about what to do next.

The new cabinet faces numerous problems and difficult problems.

The first thing to bear the brunt is to deal with Emperor Wantong who played a disgraceful role in this incident, but the difficulty is that it is difficult to deal with it satisfactorily.

In addition, the incident and the composition of the new cabinet will inevitably clean up some of the remnants of the original Wantong Emperor brought from Jiangnan, such as Miao Changqi, Zhu Guozhen, Gu Tianyu, and the like, and the vacant positions of important ministers also need to be filled one by one. .

This in turn involves the balance of Jiangnan, Beidi, Huguang and other scholar groups.

To be honest, Feng Ziying has not quite adapted to her current status, or she does not have a clear and proactive understanding of her future.

In other words, I am full of doubts and uncertainties about what I seem to have mastered now, including various resources such as power, contacts, and fans.

Taking military power as an example, will warriors like Ma Jinbao, He Zhisheng, Wang Chenghu or Tu Wenxiu absolutely end up with themselves?And can they firmly control the soldiers under them?

Perhaps under normal circumstances, they will fully support themselves, but what about abnormal circumstances?Will they still support themselves in obeying their orders without hesitation or reservation?

For example, Li Sancai promoted Xiao Ruxun, Liu Ting and Ma Chengxun, but only Xiao Ruxun, who did not have much military power, was really on Li Sancai's side, while Liu Ting and Ma Chengxun saw that the situation was not right, and they both changed quickly. If you don't have an attitude, such support and loyalty, you don't need it.

Another example is like businessmen.

Shanxi merchants, Jiangnan merchants, they are now very close to themselves, such a large-scale action as the development of Liaodong, they proposed it themselves, and they joined in without much hesitation, and the funds involved are often in the millions The silver, the same without hesitation.

From this point of view, they are also absolutely loyal and support themselves, but I know very well that it is all due to the community based on interests.

This is all based on their good reputation, and these businessmen are so firm.

But what if the interests are not so closely related?Will they be so determined?

For example, if you ask them to pay without asking for anything in return for a long time, or if you directly need them to support a huge amount of money without telling them the purpose, will they support it without hesitation?

Not enough, not far enough.

It is far from enough to grasp the hearts of the warriors, and it is not enough to bind the interests of the industrial and commercial groups. Only when they think that only they can represent their interests, and only they can control the court on their behalf and strive for greater interests for them , Only the path set by themselves is the most correct, and they will stand on their side without hesitation, and will not be bought and swayed by other interests.

Interest groups, or classes, need to figure out who is their friend and who is their enemy.

When foreign enemies fade away, domestic enemies and opponents need to be more clearly distinguished.

According to class theory, scholars are not a class, but a group attached to a certain class. Originally, they should mainly represent the landlord and country gentry class, but now they are splitting up, and the power of industry and commerce is quietly rising, but the vast majority of scholars Without realizing this, they still sided with the landlords and squires according to their inertia.

The military group that also solved the external border troubles should take a new step, expand to land and sea, and grab benefits instead of being confined to internal fighting. To expand, they need the industrial and capital support of the industrial and commercial forces. Similarly, the industrial and commercial forces need military aristocrats to use force to help them open up overseas raw material production areas and markets.

Maybe this is a match made in heaven, and I should be the one who fits the interests of these two slowly forming class groups?

And that requires a grand narrative plan. (end of this chapter)
