Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 232 Funeral in Xiaoci County

Regarding Feng Yibo's vague request, the King of Beijing was inevitably entangled.

If he meant it, it was just to let the founder of the country not to prevent Li Shouzhong from joining the cabinet.

Then it's very simple.

Just make an empty promise.

As for the future, let's wait for the future to talk.

As long as the interests of the founders of the country are not affected, whoever joins the cabinet has little to do with them.

But if they were allowed to push Li Shouzhong into the cabinet, it would be as difficult as heaven.

As long as the king of Beijing County is not crazy, he cannot easily agree.

Although the founding nobles had deep roots, they could not affect the cabinet alone.

If you want to recommend Li Shouzhong to the cabinet as you recommended Feng Yibo,
That is touching Emperor Jingshun's reverse scale.

It will only have a counterproductive effect, and in the end it will be a chicken-and-egg fight.

For some overseas interests, the emperor suspected their intentions.

That is, the loss outweighs the gain for a small gain.

Feng Ziying also showed a wry smile when she heard the words, and said:
"He speaks in a cloud of mist, and he doesn't let anyone take the slightest hint. It is estimated that even if he asks again, he will not be able to ask anything."

King Beijing nodded.

He understands that some things cannot be said clearly.

They couldn't ask Feng Yibo's specific request.

If someone asks again, even if he is willing to say it.

But I didn't mean that at first, and I probably have to push the boat along.

Choose the latter.

"This matter can only be discussed by everyone, and I can't make an arbitrary decision."

The king of Beijing County can't delay for too long, there is still a funeral over there.

At the moment, he could only frown and say:
"You go back first and continue to pay attention to the news of Donghai County. I will find an opportunity to gather people together and see if there are any other ideas."

In fact, Wei's cabinet, although it is the power center of the imperial court.

But it is not as known to later generations, the power is comparable to the prime minister.

Wei's cabinet is more of a vassal under the imperial power.

An institution that assists the emperor in governing.

In contrast, the real power of the cabinet is not even as good as the six ministers.

The cabinet is responsible for drafting the bills, that is, drafting opinions on how to deal with them before the emperor approves them.

The final award is the right to decide.

Still in the hands of the emperor.

Moreover, the bachelors in the cabinet are only fifth-rank, and their official ranks are all supported by loose ranks.

For example, Zhang Songyue and Chen Qinzhi are both emperor teachers.

They were awarded the titles of Taishi and Taifu respectively.

These two official positions are false titles, which come from "Zhou Li".

It is often said that they are the two males among the three males.

There is also a Taibao, but Wei did not set up this official position.

Taishi and Taifu are the highest titles of civil servants.

The other two in the cabinet are Doctor Guanglu and Doctor Ronglu.

They are all scattered from the first rank.

The civil servants of Zhengyipin and Congyipin are not real jobs.

The real position of the highest official rank is the six ministers, all of which are the second grade.

Among the military officers, it was roughly the same.

There is only one person in the court who has a real job like Wang Ziteng.

However, he was also promoted to an official rank, but his powers did not change.

The actual rights of the nine provinces are the same as the original nine provinces.

Having said that, civil servants all have the heart of Zaifu.

Even if the cabinet does not hold all power alone, it is the person closest to the core of power.

Li Shouzhong has now sat in the Minister of Rites, and is only one step away from entering the cabinet.

But this step, but I don't know when to wait.

Regarding Feng Yibo's request, the Prince of Beijing can understand it.

He even felt that Feng Yibo was kind.

No one knew about Li Shouzhong's residence in Feng's residence.

It is also a good story in the capital that disciples give to their mentors for the elderly.

But when this matter was pushed to his head, King Beijing felt a big headache.

No idea at the moment.

Recently, the rituals have been getting up early and late, and there is no chance to get together to discuss well.

We can only wait until Xiaoci County, and then gather the founding heroes.

We discussed a countermeasure together.

When they got to the place, the king of Beijing Jing first asked people to find a resting place.

This is the family temple of a big family in the area, and it was built by a bhikkhuni.

The houses are extremely clean.

The temple is divided into east and west courtyards, the king of Beijing County gave up the east courtyard to Rongfu, and lived in the west courtyard with his concubine and concubine.

For daily banquets, the two families go out and enter together.

The care of Rongfu is extremely thoughtful.

The status of Beijing Prince's Mansion is higher than that of Rong Mansion, but they are so respectful and virtuous.

Although the old lady Shi of the Rong Mansion and other female relatives were flattered, they were not stupid.

They knew in their hearts that the Beijing Prince's Mansion was by no means just a caring for each other between old relatives.

It's nothing more than looking at the face of the concubine Xiande in the palace.

But Concubine Xiande was originally from the Rong Mansion, so they were born with it.

The left and right families are also old relatives who often walk around. Today you take care of me, and tomorrow I will take care of you.

It's also what it should be.

The king of Beijing County gathered people here to discuss Feng Yibo's matter.

But for a while, they didn't have a serious idea.

Some felt that it was absolutely impossible to speak up and help Li Shouzhong.

Some also said that Donghai County should stop targeting first, and then discuss other things.

Others want to impeach Li Shouzhong and force Feng Yibo to submit.

What's more, he proposed to impeach Feng Yibo and let him know how powerful he is.

For a while, the founder of the country was like a pot of chaotic porridge, and the quarrel made the King of Beijing even more headache.

On the other hand, Feng Yibo didn't know that his casual probing had already put the founder of the country into a dilemma.

After he returned to the capital, he began to go to work to fish, and to live a wonderful life with a concubine after get off work.

After the Qingming Festival, the apricot blossoms fall, but the peach blossoms are a good time.

Just like the alternation of old and new, it is the law of nature.

Feng Yibo was in a good mood today, so he took a few concubines to the garden for an outing.

Along the way, you can see golden threads hanging from willows, Danxia spouting peach blossoms, jagged mountains and rocks, thick and green leaves.

The flowers of several apricot trees have withered, and many small apricots the size of beans have grown on them.

The peach trees on both sides are in full bloom, like swallowing like vomit, pink like a tuo.

A gust of wind blows, and the peach blossoms are like snow.

Everyone looked at it, and they all felt that spring and summer were full of spring and summer, and they were in a happy mood.

"Second sister, please slow down."

Feng Yibo saw Second Sister You caressing her unconcealed belly, he couldn't help but stepped forward to support her, and said with a smile:

"It's good to walk around occasionally, but you're still young and the weather is slightly cold, so it's better to rest more."

When everyone arrived in the pavilion at this time, a servant girl immediately brought a thick cushion, and together they helped Second Sister You to sit down slowly.

The second sister You had only walked for a while, and she was already tired.

Hearing Feng Yibo's words, he smiled slightly.

Her hands were always protecting her lower abdomen, and she said in her mouth:
"Didn't the Lord say that you should go out to bask in the sun more in three months? I also came out to get some fresh air because the weather is good today. I didn't expect to delay your interest."

The third sister You heard the words, took over the quarrel, and said:
"You are a great hero in the house now, who dares to say that you are a disappointment? Even if you are a master, you must be careful in serving you."

This is what the sisters dare to say, and the second sister You only smiled and gave her a white look when she heard the words.

The third sister You didn't think it was disobedient, and continued:
"Don't say you went out for an outing, even if you walked all over here behind your back, as long as you can feel more comfortable, we will all be thankful."

Xiang Ling looked eagerly at the side, looking at Second Sister You enviously.

Thinking about how she was pregnant, her face turned rosy.

Even Miaoyu's indisputable temperament is faintly envious in her heart.

I even tried it several times in the study, why is there still no movement?
At this moment, Third Sister You's voice fell, and Second Sister You's complexion suddenly changed:
"Ouch~!"

Feng Yibo got up quickly, and looked at Second Sister You with concern.

The third sister You suddenly had such an expression, she went over and patted the second sister on the back lightly.

"My sister has suffered a lot this time. I used too much force a while ago, and I vomited bile."

Feng Yibo was hesitating whether he should go back, when he heard this, he said urgently:

"Then why didn't you tell me, I'll go to the doctor now!"

Although he knew that this was a pregnancy reaction, Feng Yibo couldn't help being worried because of the horrific things that Third Sister You said.

"do not!"

Second Sister You had already recovered, and quickly called Feng Yibo to stop, saying:
"It's all right, it's just embarrassment, it's not a serious problem, it should be fine in a while."

Seeing this, Third Sister You also nodded, echoing:

"I asked many women, and they all said that they were prone to nausea in the first three months. Although they also had it later, most of them gradually eased."

Seeing that Feng Yibo was still frowning, Second Sister You said again:

"Master, it's really all right. I haven't retched very much these days. Maybe he saw you today, so he started tossing again when he was happy."

As she spoke, she stroked her belly with happiness on her face.

Feng Yibo laughed dumbfounded, and said:
"It's my fault."

Seeing this, Third Sister You jokingly said:
"If you are so naughty, I must be a brother. In the future, the master will discipline him well and give him back all the sufferings my sister has suffered!"

"Giggle!"

Seeing what she said was funny, Xiangling couldn't help laughing out loud.

The maids on the side also covered their mouths and laughed.

The second sister You was dissatisfied when she heard the words, and said:
"Remember, if the master punishes you in the future, it will definitely be your aunt who will blame you."

As soon as these words came out, Third Sister You widened her eyes and said with aggrieved expression:

"I'll complain to you, but you let the child bear my grudge?"

Second Sister You said confidently:
"Otherwise?"

"Humph!"

Second Sister You immediately flattened her lips.

"Giggle!"

The two sisters bickered and made everyone laugh.

After teasing and getting bored again, Second Sister You became a little tired.

Everyone stopped this outing and returned to the front yard.

The second sister You was sent back to her room, where she rested in bed without mentioning it.

Here Feng Yibo just came out of the courtyard, Chen Bo came over and said:
"Grandpa, we have finished what you told us."

Feng Yibo nodded and said:

"Go to the study and talk."

When the two arrived at the study, Uncle Chen reported:
"According to your instructions, we conducted a rough screening in the mansion."

Feng Yibo asked, "What was the result?"

Last time in the Taiji Hall, Emperor Jingshun casually pointed out his poems,

This made Feng Yibo feel uneasy.

As soon as he got home, he arranged for Uncle Chen to take charge of the matter.

"Most of our courtyards are brought from their hometown, so there is nothing to worry about."

The people in Feng's mansion bought some in the capital except when they first bought a house in the city.

But at that time Feng Yibo was just a juren, so naturally there was no need for surveillance.

So these guys are fairly believable.

However, they either stayed in the old house in the city to guard, or they had been released to manage some farms.

In addition, Baochai brought it from Xue's house.

Except for three or five maids who are used to it, the rest are also released outside.

In charge of the shop and fields that Xue's family married as a dowry.

These people are peripheral, even if there are some problems, it doesn't matter.

The rest were bought by Uncle Chen and Aunt Meng from their hometown, and they dragged their family over here.

And the old man in Fengjiazhuang is responsible for the key points.

"But there are four members of Nanny Liu's family in the old lady's courtyard, and Sister-in-law Bai is a bit suspicious."

Chen Bo checked not only his own side, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so many days.

Along with it, the aunts of each house, and the people brought by Xue's family, Li Shouzhong and his wife.

As long as they work in Feng's residence, they will check them roughly.

"The two of them didn't come from Jinling, they were both hired by the old lady's people in the capital, but we didn't go to the outskirts of the city to check for fear of alarming the enemy."

Uncle Chen didn't make much fanfare, he just checked his background.

This was also explained by Feng Yibo.

If you dig deep, it will inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance.

At that time, whether it will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, or arrange more people.

Neither was the result Feng Yibo wanted.

"Last year when the Tatars invaded, many people and places in the suburbs of the city changed. It is useless to verify."

Feng Yibo nodded, not worrying about whether there was any evidence.

Some things, as long as there is doubt is enough.

He asked curiously again:

"What are they doing over there?"

Feng Yibo was a little curious about how these people usually operate.

In fact, he also has plans to train a group of special talents.

You never know when it will work wonders.

"Liu Nanny is the rough envoy, the man in his family carries the old lady's sedan chair, the son is the old lady's servant, and the daughter is the little girl in the courtyard."

Chen Bo replied one by one, and said:
"Sister-in-law Bai and her husband are both helping out in the small kitchen."

None of them could get into the house, all of them were rough.

This made Feng Yibo heave a sigh of relief.

Li Shouzhong's days in Beijing were short, and he brought people from home.

Those hired later here will definitely not be able to enter the core.

In this way, even if there are some on his side, they are all peripheral.

It is estimated that he may not even be able to see his face.

"You can do everything, if it's true, it's also thoughtful."

If these people go on for a long time, it is inevitable that someone will have a chance to be in the top position.

But now I can only monitor a schedule, I'm afraid there is nothing confidential.

The people sent by the imperial court to monitor did not succeed overnight.

There is only a family like Jia's, which has been passed down for several generations.

The people who monitor are also operated by several generations, so it is possible to pass through the sieve of Jia's infiltration, right?

Feng Yibo pondered for a while, and ordered:
"Let Aunt Meng go over here in the inner courtyard, and send them to farm in the outskirts of the city. If my wife asks, she will say that I borrowed it."

There is no looking forward and backward, just a few rough envoys and servants.

There is no need for any evidence at all, as long as it is suspicious, it will be sent out.

He is not from a family like Jia's family, and his servants are more face-saving than ordinary masters.

He can make a decision with one word for all the servants of the Feng Mansion.

No one will intercede with him, and there is no room for intercession.

"it is good."

Uncle Chen didn't take it seriously, he answered and was about to go out.

Feng Yibo added:
"Arrange for our people to fill the position."

The fact that someone might be watching in the mansion gave him a headache.

Obviously, this can only temporarily prevent one or two.

If someone bribes the servants of his family, it is still hard to guard against.

But without professional training, more or less will leave traces.

He can only guard against death at key points, such as his study.

Fortunately, the study rooms of most people's homes are forbidden areas, and no one can approach them except their confidantes.

With such rules in the Feng Mansion, it would not be too conspicuous.

In other places, there is no fear of being investigated.

What's more, Gouzi and others often come back.

But even if someone knew about their travels to and from Donghai County, they would only say it was a business matter.

Feng Yibo went through it from the beginning, and felt that there should not be too many omissions.

He opened the hidden compartment next to the bookshelf and checked the contents.

No trace of being touched.

At this time, someone outside reported:

"Master, Mr. Lin sent someone to send a post, saying that he has something to look for you."
