Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 229 Smell the wind
Everyone was surprised when they heard Feng Ziying's words.

One person spoke out first, with a face full of astonishment:
"Ziying, what are you talking about?"

Before Feng Ziying could respond, someone said in a strange way:

"As soon as the opponent makes a move, you let us bow our heads?"

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

Apparently everyone felt that this proposal was open to debate.

Seeing this, Feng Ziying looked at King Beijing first.

Seeing that he didn't make a sound, he could only explain:

"It's not bowing your head, it's a long-term plan."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sighed lightly, and said:

"If we continue to delay, we will inevitably be taken advantage of by those upstarts staring at us!"

Feng Ziying did not support the impeachment of Feng Yibo back then.

But his relationship with Feng Yibo is well known.

In addition, he is soft-spoken.

Therefore, no one took his objection seriously at the time.

The same is true of his proposal now, and most people show some disdain.

Until Feng Ziying said this, many people present couldn't help thinking about it.

yes!The caravan attached to them is already ready to move, and it is impossible for the upstarts to remain silent.

The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation first.

"If so, it won't be taken advantage of by others."

Just as everyone fell into deep thought, the man with yin and yang eccentricity spoke out again, and said:
"But we tried so hard to squeeze Feng Yuan away, and now let him come up as he wants to go down, so anticlimactic, wouldn't it make those bumpkins laugh to death?"

This time everyone showed hesitation, but no one agreed with him.

He is a noble in the capital and has no business at sea.

Naturally, he took his own face into consideration, so he didn't feel backache while standing and talking.

But if this is the case, others will be hurt!

Feng Ziying narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the man, and said:

"Seeing and not being able to see, and being unsure about fighting, how would you tell me how to deal with it?"

"I……"

That person didn't care about how to deal with it, he just didn't want to lose face.

Now being asked such a question by Feng Ziying, I felt a little speechless.

After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"I think it's better to bypass Donghai County and go to Jiaozhi."

Thinking of what everyone said just now, he added:

"You said that you are not sure about defeating Donghai County. Could it be that you can't suppress those small countries?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, obviously many people thought it was feasible.

The Great Wei has a vast territory, and the surrounding countries are all vassals in name.

If it is forced to break through, no one should dare to take it lightly!

Feng Ziying heard the words, but showed disdain, squinting at him and said:
"If you are good at starting border quarrels, don't you pass the knife to the upstart?"

All the nobles suddenly looked sad again.

Many people also thought of this just now, but felt that Jiaozhi and Yuehai were impeached at most, and had nothing to do with them.

That's why no one said anything.

At this moment, the people of Nan'an Palace glared at him, and the man suddenly realized that he had said something wrong.

But he was still not angry, and immediately fought back:
"I heard that you and Prince Zhongshun also walked around, could it be..."

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem.

Obviously, he couldn't say no to Feng Ziying, so he directly started to attack personally.

Seeing him becoming angry from embarrassment, King Beijing Jing frowned slightly.

He gently raised his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, what Ziying said is good, other people can tell me if they have other ways, let everyone refer to it."

He was dissatisfied in his heart, but still maintained a refined appearance on his face, and said:
"Whether it's good or bad, let's talk about it together, don't be mean to anyone, and ruin the friendship between us old relatives."

This time the voice was still gentle, but at the end of the sentence, there was a hint of warning.

Hearing the words, the man shrank back in embarrassment and stopped making a sound.

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, King Beijing Jing said again:

"If you have no other ideas, let's do what Ziying said first."

Speaking of this, he scanned the audience and finally sighed:
"The most urgent thing is not to be taken advantage of by those upstarts, and the rest can be considered in the long run."

When everyone heard the words, they all sighed.

But no one raised objections.

After all, when the benefits are sufficient, the face is not worth mentioning.

Most of the founding nobles belonged to the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and many of them had overseas caravans under their names.

Moreover, if it weren't for the rich interests at sea, they would not have dealt with Feng Yibo.

Since the last time it was for profit, regardless of face.

Pull Feng Yibo who is relatively close to him from the stage.

Now, for the sake of profit, it's okay to push him back.

Here, the founder of the country will discuss the specific details without mentioning it.

It is only said that there is an unexpected but reasonable guest from the Feng residence.

"What wind brought Brother Wanli here?"

The person who came was none other than the newly honored noble, the son of Qiu Luan, the general officer of Xuanda.

Qiu Peng, who had met Feng Yibo a few times before.

After receiving his post, Feng Yibo greeted him personally.

"Feng Duwei is safe and sound!"

Qiu Peng clasped his fists grinningly, and said with a smile:
"You have given me gifts for so many years, you should have come to visit a long time ago."

Because Qiu Peng helped him before, Feng Yibo did give a copy to Qiu Peng according to the standard given to Jia Lian when he gave the New Year's gift.

But Feng Yibo naturally didn't believe that he came to the door for this, and he knew it was just a random excuse.
At the moment, he waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile:
"The grace of helping hands is beyond words, and a few things are just a way of expressing my heart."

Although Qiu Peng is a vulgar person, he is used to being greeted and sent off after all.

Hearing Feng Yibo's words, he also exchanged greetings:
"I've wanted to visit for a long time, but I'm afraid that there will be too many people during the New Year's Eve, and I'm afraid to cause trouble to Captain Feng, so I'll come as soon as the festival is over."

Having said that, he looked at Feng Yibo, smiled and said:
"Feng Duwei won't be unwelcome, right?"

During the Chinese New Year period, the Feng Mansion put up New Year's wine every day.

Those who came were all civil servants and old relatives.

Among the old relatives, there are naturally many nobles from the founding of the country.

Obviously, Qiu Peng, an upstart, is not good at being with them.

To avoid embarrassment for all three parties.

Feng Yibo heard this, smiled and said:
"How dare you! Hurry up, let's go in and talk."

Qiu Peng is also knowledgeable, and it's not like he hasn't been to the imperial palace.

But looking at the weather of Feng Mansion along the way, he still couldn't help but praise:
"Your courtyard is rich and luxurious, except for the lower regulations, it is not inferior to the palace in style."

The money that Feng's family spent was not only in the garden, the front yard was also built with Zhulanyu, which was very magnificent.

Originally, Feng Yibo should be happy to hear people praise him.

But the word "Prince's Mansion" made him think about it.

I don't know if Qiu Peng mentioned it on purpose.

But looking at his straightforward appearance, it doesn't seem like he meant something.

Feng Yibo's thoughts turned, and he could only politely say:

"In order to build this house, I threw all my money on it."

Qiu Peng heard the words and smiled, grinned and said:

"That's right, Feng Duwei is very lucky. If he wants to marry the second wife, he must build the house first."

Originally, Qiu Peng didn't know anything about Feng Yibo.

It was only after he came back from Iron Net Mountain that he knew his identity.

When I heard that he was the same as his father, he was the captain of the light car.

He also got the imperial bestowal of two rooms and two concubines.

Which one is not enviable?
Judging from Qiu Peng's current expression, the mention of "Prince's Mansion" just now should have been unintentional?
Feng Yibo was a little uncertain about the other party's pulse, so he could only continue to politely say:

"Laugh and laugh."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Peng waved his hands and said seriously:
"What are you laughing at, I'm too envious."

The two exchanged pleasantries all the way, and soon arrived at the main hall.

After the guests and hosts were seated, servants immediately offered tea.

Feng Yibo dismissed all the servants, and said directly:
"Brother Wan Li is here today, isn't it just to thank me for my annual gift?"

Qiu Peng didn't hide anything when he heard the words, and said with a smile:
"We can't hide it from Captain Feng, there is indeed something else to discuss."

Feng Yibo already had some guesses in his heart, and said in his mouth:
"Brother Wanli has helped me, no matter what it is, it's okay to speak up."

Regardless of whether what the other party said was what he had in mind, Feng Yibo saw the previous help and was ready to agree.

"Feng Duwei is a straightforward person, so I won't play around with you."

Anyone who knows how to repay a kindness should take a high look.

After hearing Feng Yibo's words, Qiu Peng naturally felt at ease.

He was not polite at the moment, and said directly:

"I have been entrusted here, and I hope Captain Feng can make Donghai County's revenge last longer."

Qiu Peng's directness somewhat exceeded Feng Yibo's expectations.

At first I thought it would take a long time to go to court, but I didn't expect him to say it openly.

But thinking about his previous character, it makes sense.

At the moment, Feng Yibo was thinking about how to deal with it.

The other party went straight, but he could only say haha ​​first, and said:
"Oh? I'm a Xunchen who has nothing to do at home, how can I control matters thousands of miles away."

Qiu Peng was not angry when he heard the words, and he looked indifferent, saying:

"I don't know about this. I've said what they mean. As for whether it's okay or not, just let me know when you think about it."

Every sentence is so direct, which makes Feng Yibo a little difficult to answer.

He could only smile wryly, and stopped making rounds, and asked directly:

"Brother Wanli, can you tell me who sent you to find me?"

"Upstart."

Qiu Peng spit out two words lightly, but did not say who it was.

However, he added:

"My father is not in the capital, they take good care of me, and I have long wanted to visit you, so I came here."

Feeling the other party's frankness, Feng Yibo sighed:

"Brother Wanli is still so direct."

Obviously, although Qiu Peng was direct, he was limited to what he had to say.

There is nothing that should not be said.

In this way, the palace he mentioned when he entered the hospital...

Seeing Feng Yibo groaning silently, Qiu Peng raised his eyebrows again and said:

"It's okay, just think about it slowly, and just tell me when you think about it."

Feng Yibo picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying:

"Brother Wan Li will go out in person, I will definitely give this face, but you have to hurry up in whatever you want to do."

After a pause, he added:
"Because the other party may not last long."

"Oh?"

Qiu Peng was taken aback.

Although he has always looked down on those who were the founders of the country, he also knows that the other party is deeply rooted and deeply rooted.

The battle between the two sides has never stopped, but the upstarts rarely take too much advantage.

If Emperor Jingshun hadn't favored them intentionally or unintentionally, those founding nobles would have wiped out the upstarts long ago.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Wanli, they kicked me home, so I naturally want to let them know how bad it is."

This matter cannot be hidden, and Feng Yibo did not intend to hide it.

But he certainly won't admit it easily.

It's just that in front of Qiu Peng today, he must speak clearly.

In case this straight-tempered brother doesn't pass on the message properly.

If you ask him later, he won't admit it.

"But if they invite me back, I can't go too far. At most, I can delay it for a while, and I can't really turn my face."

After a pause, Feng Yibo added:
"After all, it's the Jia family's face."

His method is mainly to let these people know that he is not easy to mess with.

In the future, I can't say that I will use them to give myself convenience.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

As long as he stands up once, people will not dare to provoke him easily again.

At the same time, Donghae County can also develop stably.

Feng Yibo's goal was achieved.

"whispering sound!"

Hearing about Jia's mansion, Qiu Peng was a little dismissive, and said:

"As for the trash in Ning Rong's second residence, is it worth your face?"

Feng Yibo was taken aback.

Although the Jia Mansion is just a pretense, it is also a reasonable pretense.

Hearing Qiu Peng's words, he couldn't help but wonder:

"Not to mention that my mentor and the Rong Mansion are in-laws, brother Wan Li said just now that he envied my two wives, don't you know that my two wives are both nieces of the Jia Mansion?"

Most of his relationship with Jia's mansion is on the side of Rong's mansion.

Few people in the city do not know.

"If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it."

Qiu Peng scratched his nose in embarrassment, and said strangely:

"But why don't they show relative face and impeach you?"

If someone else said this, it would be provocative.

But with Qiu Peng's straightforward character, it doesn't make people think too much.

Feng Yibo smiled when he heard this, and said directly:
"Because I don't want to stand in line."

This is no longer a hint, but a pure statement.

Even a fool can completely convey the meaning back.

Sure enough, even Qiu Peng understood it.

He nodded and said:

"Is that what you said to us too?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Feng Yibo to respond.

He looked indifferent again, nodded and said:

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely bring it."

"Then thank you, Brother Wanli."

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Feng Yibo cupped his hands and said again:
"I've had someone prepare a banquet, let's have a few drinks!"

Qiu Peng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a smile:

"Just to see how much you drink!"

Just as the old and new nobles were secretly competing, the members of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River also came to the capital by order.

The group set off in a hurry, and when they arrived in the capital, the old concubine was already bedridden.

So I only sent some women who followed me to give gifts to each house to say hello.

At the same time, there is a memorial.

Prince Zhongshun, who was guarding the old concubine, handed it directly to Emperor Jingshun.

"At this time, the Zhen family is still thinking about impeaching Feng Yuan?"

Emperor Jingshun looked at the memorial with a puzzled expression on his face.

He thought that since the old concubine was seriously ill, the Zhen family should know that they were in danger.

Unexpectedly, someone came to visit the old concubine, not wanting to think about how to solve the problem.

Still thinking about impeaching Feng Yuan?

Moreover, it was after Feng Yuan had already crowned himself.

Isn't this "wearing a bucket hat and holding an umbrella", is it superfluous?

"It is said that he has a deep connection with Donghai County and colluded with him a long time ago."

Emperor Jingshun didn't know how to describe it. He looked at Prince Zhongshun and asked:
"Such an obvious matter, should he say it?"

Prince Zhongshun also showed helplessness when he heard the words, and sighed:

"If Feng Yuan has nothing to do with Donghai County, can the king of Donghai County listen to his offer of soil and surrender?"

The two brothers are not stupid, so naturally they won't easily believe Feng Yibo's sympathy nonsense.

However, the result was right, and they didn't want to pursue the process.

"It's really nothing to look for. These founding dignitaries have already impeached Feng Yuan and sent him to the field. Is it over?"

Emperor Jingshun threw the memorial aside casually, shook his head, and said:

"Zhen Yingjia also said that it was Feng Yuan who colluded with the Duke of Donghai and looted his fleet."

Prince Zhongshun frowned and asked:
"Do they have evidence?"

"What evidence is there? It's all speculation!"

Emperor Jingshun said something angrily, and then said to Prince Zhongshun:
"Go and tell the Zhen family, find a reason to be more reliable, don't focus on impeaching a resigned person."

After a pause, he added with a sneer:
"Also, if you think you can procrastinate like this, just wait for the house to be raided!"

Prince Zhongshun also showed a hint of ferocity, as if the net that had been set for a long time was about to be closed.

"Yes! I'll go right now!"

"and many more!"

Just as Prince Zhongshun was about to leave, Emperor Jingshun called him again.

Seemingly suppressing his anger, he said again:
"Let's forget it first, so as not to spread it to the old concubine's ears and affect her condition."

Thinking of the condition of the old concubine, Emperor Jingshun was obviously a little irritable.

"Wait a little longer, let the old concubine be quiet for a while."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal Prince Zhongshun to step down.

At this time, a palace official said:
"Your Majesty, a memorial sent by the cabinet."

Emperor Jingshun glanced at Xia Bingzhong beside him, and he immediately declared:
"Send it in."

The two young eunuchs each held a stack and put it on the imperial case.

so much?
Emperor Jingshun felt a little strange.

He has reviewed a lot today, why are there so many?
Did something happen?

Thinking of this, he quickly flipped through it.

But the more you look at it, the more surprised you become, and at the same time, the faster you look.

There are dozens of memorials in succession, except for the first few books to get a general idea.

I glanced behind and let it go.

After reading everything, Emperor Jingshun frowned, and said in doubt:

"What the hell are these people doing?"

There are dozens of memorials, but the content is not bad.

They all recommended Feng Yuan!
