The old man was playing chess with himself by candlelight. When he heard Feng Shoufu's words, he said without raising his head: "What do you need to see? It's time for the Feng family to retreat."
Lord Cifujiao!
There was a dispute over grain and grass in the Ministry of Hubu. Qin Jiyan gave the Minister of Hubu a face. Unfortunately, the Minister of Hubu made mistakes again and again. Qin Jiyan had already bumped up his official position again and again. There was always a vacancy in the position of the Minister of Hubu. All parties were trying to Fighting for this position, the Feng family is no exception.
Qin Jiyan knew very well that Gu Qiancheng was taking more care of Tang Wanzhen, so he immediately told Gu Qiancheng about Jing Yan tricking Tang Wanzhen into going out and taking Tang Wajin's heart.
Feng Shoufu and Jiao Cifu have been fighting for a lifetime. The two of them are indeed very close in personal terms, but in the officialdom, they have always fought back and forth. In the past, Feng Shoufu has always won, but this time Feng Shoufu was completely defeated.
If Jing Yan hadn't been recovering from his injuries in the Feng family, Feng Sijin would have thought that nothing happened before. Feng Sijin once asked Jing Yan, if he delayed it like this, he wouldn't be afraid that Qin Jiyan would go directly to Jiangnan, and then he wouldn't be able to see anyone he wanted to see.
The title of chief assistant is the chief assistant of the cabinet. Among the original six ministries, the powerful Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of War and Ministry of Justice all have people who are granted the title of chief assistant. It is very convenient for them to do whatever they want to do. However, after Qin Jiyan succeeded to the throne, he successively It’s almost enough to replace the people from the six departments.
As Feng Sijin guessed, Qin Jiyan could not wait in the palace for Jing Yan to come to his door. Jing Yan's lack of action did not mean that Qin Jiyan had not taken action.
In the end, Jing Yan told him, "Don't be afraid. Before he goes to Jiangnan, he will definitely meet with me first."
"Well... I will think about this problem carefully." Jing Yan was silent, the expression on his face dropped, and he was no longer confident and calm as before.
After returning home from the next court, Feng Shoufu locked himself in the study for two hours. Finally, he walked out with a decadent look on his face and came to Mr. Feng's garden.
Qin Jiyan did not rush Jing Yan, and after letting Feng Sijin pass those words, Qin Jiyan acted as if nothing had happened, and kept summoning the ministers to deal with the government affairs at hand as quickly as possible and arrange for the reception. down business.
"My father said it more than once, it's because you can't figure it out." Mr. Feng still didn't raise his head, holding the black piece in his hand, his eyes glued to the chessboard.
Although the situation in Jiangnan has improved now, based on the things Jiao Xiangdi committed in Jiangnan before, it is impossible for the Jiao family to return to the center of power within three to five years.
"Take Ni Yue with you, will he still have a stable life? After leaving the city, he will not have the final say on what happens outside." Qin Jiyan is the emperor and can guard the capital like an iron barrel, but outside Things are not so easy to say.
"Father..." Feng Shoufu was stunned and looked at the old man stupidly, as if he didn't believe what he heard.
But just because they don't face it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Feng family has violated the emperor's taboo after all...
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The territory of the Qin Dynasty is too big. Qin Jiyan has just ascended the throne not long ago. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot hold every city in his hands. There are always places that he cannot control.
"It's not sudden. Haven't you seen that the emperor has been replacing new blood in the officialdom?" It's just that the positions he replaced before were insignificant, and Jiao Cifu was not in the capital, so... it was easy for people to ignore him.
"Because he knows very well that if he doesn't know the capital, no one in this huge Qin Dynasty can keep me." This is the confidence brought by strength. There used to be someone who was as good as him, Zi Che, but now Zi Che was sent by Qin Jiyan to protect Gu Qiancheng. In this huge capital, besides Qin Jiyan, who else could be his opponent
Jing Yan is a cautious person, and he will never enter the palace without 70% certainty. Although he received the news from Feng Sijin early, Jing Yan did not make any move.
"You take good care of yourself and I'll go back first." Feng Sijin knew that Jing Yan had his own plans, so he left these words and left.
"Father, the Emperor has always had great trust in our Feng family, so why did he suddenly suppress us?" If it were just a position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Feng Shoufu would not think too much about it, but...
To stabilize the position of chief assistant, it is not enough to rely on one's own abilities. There must be a large number of supporters and people in important departments. The Chief Assistant of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War cannot intervene now, but he must not let go of the Ministry of Husbandry.
At first, Jiao Xiangdi committed a serious crime in Jiangnan. Jiao Cifu went to Jiangnan to clean up the mess for Jiao Xiangdi, but it was also the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Jiao family.
In addition, Qin Jiyan also issued an order to bring Lord Jiao to the capital. Not to mention the principle of official reinstatement, Qin Jiyan also specially arranged for a disciple of the Jiao family to be admitted to the household department.
The Ministry of War has the most contact with the military. It was originally controlled by the disciples of Feng Shouxu. They often quarreled with the military people over food, grass, weapons. After Qin Jiyan succeeded to the throne, he transferred officials who were close to the Feng family and the Yan family. Ministry of War. He also directly told the officials of the Ministry of War that all matters must focus on the northwest war, and if there are any problems, go directly to him, the emperor.
Qin Jiyan felt guilty towards Jing Yan, but not towards the Mocun people. Regardless of Ni Yue's identity as the saint of the Changsheng Sect or her identity as a descendant of Mocun, Qin Jiyan could not keep it.
"Are you so sure?" Feng Sijin didn't know where Jing Yan got his confidence. He knew that Jing Yan's mind and strategy were stronger than ordinary people, but Qin Jiyan was not an ordinary person either. He had fought with Qin Jiyan so many times, but he had not won a few times.
Most of the affairs of the Criminal Department are taken over by people from the Six Gates. All the Six Gates are Qin Jiyan's confidants. These people will not listen to Feng Shoufu's orders.
Feng Shoufu respectfully greeted the old man and asked humbly: "Father, what do you think of what happened in the court?"
Feng Shoufu originally thought that it would be a sure thing to arrange for his person to be the Minister of Household Affairs, but he didn't want the final candidate to be not only not his person, but also his mortal enemy.
If it weren't for Jing Yan, Ni Yue would have died long ago.
At this time, Jiao Cifu was transferred to Beijing, but he was not allowed to think too much.
Feng Sijin was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you can kill Ni Yue." According to Qin Jiyan's temper, this was not impossible.
"Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will take Ni Yue away?" Feng Sijin is not as confident as Jing Yan. Although Qin Jiyan who ascended the throne is the same person as the Qin Jiyan who was still the King of Qin, no matter how he behaves or The methods are very different.
The injury on Jing Yan's foot was either minor or serious. Based on Jing Yan's martial arts, this small injury will not affect his actions, but if he wants to enter the palace to see Qin Jiyan, the injury on his foot may become the straw that breaks the camel's back and make him lose to Qin Jiyan. In the hands of Jiyan.
In this world, there is no powerful official who always stands at the top. Starting from him, the Feng family has been a powerful official for two generations. He has deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Half of the officials in the court are related to the Feng family. If he does not step back, his family will be confiscated by the emperor. Exterminate the clan.
Feng Sijin was right, Qin Jiyan could kill Ni Yue, and he would most likely do so.
