When receiving an urgent message from Yangzhou, Feng Ziying was discussing with Fang Youdu the direction of compiling the content of "Internal Reference" in the future.

As Feng Ziying and others began to turn, the "left-behind" power of Qingtan Academy in the imperial court began to be "weakened", Zheng Chongjian stayed in Western Xinjiang and did not return, Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Fu took root in Yangzhou, Xu Ji and Han Jing had long gone away from Feng Ziying, and now only Fang Youdu and Wang Yingxiong are closer to Feng Ziying.

Xu Ji entered the camp of Ye Xianggao, Li Tingji and Huang Ruliang without any suspense, as a Fujian scholar, with the blessing of two elders and Huang Ruliang, the future is limitless.

Although Feng Ziying is now in the limelight, Feng Ziying believes that soon Xu Ji will also begin to emerge after the end of the political view.

Han Jing took a different path.

As Tang Binyin's proud protégé, his coming to Qingtan Academy was more like a temporary act, even if he had been in Qingtan Academy for a few years, but he did not integrate into this group, but preferred to follow his teacher.

Tang Binyin is not very proud of his career now, but he is very close to the King of Beijing, King Li and others, he should be in the Nanjing Hanlin Academy, but now he often appears in the Jingshi City as a great Confucian of Jingyi, participates in various poetry meetings and literary meetings, and is also the guest of many dignitaries and nobles in the Beijing Division.

Feng Ziying estimated that when the time was right, he was afraid that even Emperor Yonglong would have to pinch his nose and give him a position, of course, it could not be a key position, but he also needed to give him a position that matched his status as a great Confucian in the world.

Other Qingtan disciples such as Fang Zhenru, Ye Tinggui, Song Tongyin, Cai Maode, Luo Shangzhong, etc., but because of their age, they had less contact with the original academy, so it was difficult to be as close as Lian Guoji, Fang Youdu, and Fan Jingwen, but they basically formed such a group around Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, but there were also some gaps between them.

"The specific content, you have to figure it out yourself, I can only give you a point in the general direction, the first two days of the weak and the real long and Wakaya came to me, want to participate, I have no reason to refuse, but the leadership must be in our own hands, they want to express their views, opinions, no problem, you have to review it, it is not impossible to send it that does not meet our theme, but it needs to be added to the editor's press to comment and remind,......"

Fang Youdu scratched his head, "Ziying, this is a bit difficult, Yang Sichang and Huang Zunsu are okay to say, they have official positions, we can use this article to restrict them, we had this regulation at the beginning, but Hou Sui is not easy to handle, he is a second-class jinshi, and his ranking is one place higher than you,......"

Feng Ziying glanced at Fang Youdu, "Uncle Fang, are you so useless?" I'm the ninth in the second grade, and I have to give three points as much as I am really long in front of me, you are now the editor-in-chief, what are you afraid of? ”

"Ziying, you said it lightly, although you are the second and ninth, but you are now the Hanlin Academy's revision, from the sixth grade, the two of them are still only editing, and they are the seventh grade, can they compare? Not to mention that you are so famous now, who would dare to come to you to touch the mold? Can I compare with them? Fang Youdu shouted unconvinced.

"Reason is not in the voice, let alone in the spirit, we occupy this position, we should be in charge, "Internal Reference" was originally founded by us, of course, the right to speak must be in our hands, they are not convinced, they can also create one."

Feng Ziying knew that Yang Sichang had not fought this idea.

However, with the increasing influence of "Internal Reference" in the imperial court, it has now become a must-read for the court with a certain identity, and even become a weather vane for some ministers to figure out the direction of the imperial court.

Therefore, Yang Sichang and Hou Sui and others also discussed for a long time, and finally decided to give up, and instead wanted to cooperate with Qingtan's side in order to join in.

was blocked by Feng Ziying and had nothing to say, Fang Youdu could only nod and agree, Feng Ziying explained again before he said: "Uncle Fang, you don't have to worry too much, if I go to Jiangnan again, it will be three or four months at most, and the matter over there should be over, as for Jun Yu, Mengzhang, Ke Xuan and Lu You, it's hard to say, maybe the opinion of the official teacher is still to have one or two people in Yangzhou, but it is definitely impossible to stay there." ”

"Hey, they all caught up with the good opportunity, so they left me here alone, by the way, and Fei Xiong, he seems to be very busy during this time, and he can't see anyone,......" Fang Youdu sighed.

"Well, it's a big deal on the side of the military department, he came to me the day before yesterday and said something, I'm worried that this year and next year I may not have peace in the Great Zhou." Feng Ziying's face darkened.

It is not clear whether Yang Yinglong is connected with other forces, but it is certain that Yang Yinglong in this time and space is different from Yang Yinglong in the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, at least he has vaguely hooked up with Shui An Bangyan and Yongning Luxury Chongming.

Just these three groups of people are entangled together, and their intensity is definitely far greater than that of the Ningxia rebellion.

The key lies in the southwest hinterland, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it will be very difficult for the officials and troops to enter and suppress, and the rebellion of Lu'an has been fought for many years in memory, and the Banzhou rebellion has continued to see-saw, and the cost is huge.

This is not counting if Yang Yinglong does not collude with other forces, even if Yang Yinglong does not collude with other forces, but as long as the war drags on for a long time, will the Jurchens of Jianzhou, the White Lotus Sect, the Chahar people, and even the Japanese side covet such an opportunity to weaken the Great Zhou?

Seeing that Feng Ziying's face showed a hint of caution and even worry, Fang Youdu couldn't help but be taken aback, he had never seen Feng Ziying's expression so solemn before, "Ziying, is it dangerous?" ”

Feng Ziying also sighed: "It's hard to say, I also hope that my judgment is wrong, but the reality in front of us is that there must be a problem here, and we can't turn a blind eye." ”

Seeing that Feng Ziying didn't say it explicitly, Fang Youdu also understood the rules, knowing that one more person knowing about this kind of military affairs was one more possibility of leaking the news, and he didn't ask much, "Then do you want to consider doing more military affairs in the next two or three issues?" ”

Feng Ziying thought for a while and said, "It's better to follow the original idea, but Uncle Fang, in addition to military affairs, I suggest that you can also collect news related to the White Lotus Sect, you are in the Criminal Department, you have this advantage, and you can contact the Long Forbidden Captain more,......"

"It's no problem with the Criminal Department, ...... the Long Forbidden Lieutenant" Fang Youdu shook his head.

Feng Ziying also knew that it was not easy to deal with Long Banwei.

On the one hand, it is a coincidence that he can get in touch with the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, and he has dealt with it since the Linqing Min Change, and on the other hand, he is also from Wuxun's background, and many of the Wuxun's children are hung in the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, which is a little closer, of course, the more important thing is that he has entered the emperor's eyes, and the Long Forbidden Lieutenant naturally has to look at it differently, so it is much easier to do.

But with someone else, especially an ordinary civil official, it's not the same thing.

The dragon forbidden lieutenant is stunned by the imperial historians, but the ordinary officials of the six departments and the local government, they have no scruples, let alone cooperate with you, let alone think about it.

"Ziying, why are you suddenly interested in the White Lotus Sect again? What's wrong again? ”

Fang Youdu knew that the Linqing Minhe had a lot to do with the White Lotus Sect, but after the White Lotus Sect was pacified, the government did not publicize it, because it was worried that such propaganda would make the White Lotus Sect's influence spread more widely.

"I have a bad premonition, I always feel that there will be chaos in the past two years, but now I am not sure where the problem will be."

It is rare for Feng Ziying to talk openly with people like this, Fang Youdu counts one, practicing state affairs counts as one, it turns out that Xu Qixun counts one when he is studying, and Zheng Chongjian counts one when he is in Western Xinjiang.

"Then your hunch is too mysterious." Fang Youdu shook his head disapprovingly, "I have also taken a rough look at the Criminal Department, there are not many movements of the White Lotus Sect, mainly concentrated in Beizhi and Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Nanzhi, but not much, of course, the Ministry of War is said to have the movements of the White Lotus Sect in Fengzhou Bansheng outside the side wall, but that is outside the territory of our Great Zhou, in general, it has not changed much from the previous few years, it is nothing more than a secret gathering somewhere, someone is wandering and preaching, and the local government has many arrests and arrests the leaders of them, and those who should be killed are killed, The exile ,...... of the exile"

"But are those the real leaders?" Feng Ziying asked coldly.

Fang Youdu was speechless.

Everyone knows that the real high-level leaders of the White Lotus Sect are basically hidden behind, either the local gentry with considerable power, or the local outsiders who rely on the temple and Taoist temple as a guise, and even some local officials, but if you want to find out, it is very difficult.

"So Uncle Fang, the White Lotus Sect should not be underestimated, I had a deep feeling in Linqing five years ago, and it is said that the southeast and southwest sides of the mountain are even more powerful, and the Beizhi is their lair, Shuntian, Yongping, Guangping, Zhending, Baoding, and Hejian are all flooded, you are in the Criminal Department, I am afraid you have to pay more attention."

Feng Ziying also knew that Fang Youdu was just a political practitioner, and it was not his turn to dictate the affairs of the Criminal Department, and if these affairs were to be true, they should also be the affairs of the local prefecture and county, and it was impossible for the Criminal Department to interfere too much, but he was a little worried that Yang Yinglong of Banzhou would have something to do with these White Lotus Sects, and once they joined forces, the harm would be unimaginable.

"Ziying, I can only do my best, I can sort out and summarize some of the things I originally collected on the "Internal Reference", well, it will be named "Vigilance against the harm caused by the flood of the White Lotus Sect in the North-Analysis Report on the White Lotus Sect in Yongping, Guangping, and Hejian Prefectures", see if it can attract the attention of Shangshu and the waiters, well, also look at the attitude of your elders, I'm afraid you don't think so, it is estimated that the effect is not as good as you going to talk about it in front of them."

Fang Youdu also spread his hands a little helplessly, he was very clear about the gap between himself and Feng Ziying now.

"Uncle Fang, not necessarily, I said it with such empty mouths and white teeth, it doesn't make much sense, they won't believe it, but if you can warm up through these articles first, it may be different, in this way, it is better for you to do two issues on this issue first, one is what you just mentioned, and the other issue is also to do an analysis of the situation of the White Lotus Sect in Fengzhou and Bansheng, well, there is some news from the Ministry of War, you say hello to Feixiong, and the two of you will do it,......"

While the two were talking, Baoxiang suddenly broke in without even knocking on the door, "Master! ”

Seeing Feng Ziyingsen's cold gaze, Baoxiang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down: "Master, there is an urgent delivery!" ”

Feng Ziying also knew that if it wasn't for a particularly urgent matter, with Baoxiang's temperament, he would never dare to break into his study, even if it was an outer study, it would be for him to discuss serious matters with his friends and colleagues, and no one could come in without being communicated.

"Say."

"I'm from Yangzhou, I'm afraid Master Lin is ......" Baoxiang's face was full of sweat.

Feng Ziying stood up with a hula, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not okay to say that Master Lin." Baoxiang just knelt and kowtowed, not daring to raise his head.
