Study life is boring and hard, but for Feng Ziying, it is a rare experience.

It was only in this year that he realized that there was no such thing as winter and summer vacations in this kind of academy, especially in the summer vacation that everyone was most looking forward to in his previous life.

Summer is hot, but it's the time when you should stay up late and study hard.

Practicing Sanjiu in winter and practicing Sanfu in summer, it is not just about practicing martial arts or singing, it is the same for readers.

With Chen Qiyu's "convincing", Feng Ziying's life in the academy has also become calm and rhythmic.

The whole dormitory has now entered a benign atmosphere, and everyone's minds have been unified, which is to go for next year's autumn.

Qi Yongtai went to the Ministry of Officials to take up the position of Zuo Shilang, which was a heavy and huge position.

Below Shangshu, Zuo Shilang is the most respected, equivalent to the executive deputy minister, everything has to be asked, and some strong Zuo Shilang can even compete with Shangshu.

After Guan Yingzhen took over as the head of the mountain, he basically continued Qi Yongtai's previous general school-running ideas, and even made it more meticulous and down-to-earth.

Feng Tang finally left Beijing to go to Yulin Town, but there is no news back for the time being.

But Feng Ziying is still very relieved.

After all, his father can play well in Datong Town, even if the situation in Yulin is worse, but with the biggest enemy, the Tatars in the Hetao region seem to be entering a period of weakness, and the threat from the outside is actually not big, it is more of a game within the Nine Sides in order to compete for more resources.

Of course, for a chief officer who wants to make a difference, that's a different story.

But Feng Tang is obviously not the kind of person who wants to do something now, so everything is still stable.

"I've seen the mountain chief." Feng Ziying entered the door and saw Guan Yingzhen splashing ink, with a relaxed attitude.

"Ziying is here? Well, wait a minute, Jian You, Jun Yu and Mengzhang will come over in a while. Guan Yingzhen put down his pen and examined himself, and Feng Ziying also went up to take a look at it with interest.

"The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", Wen Zhenggong's famous sentence, probably because Guan Yingzhen had some feelings, so he wrote this sentence.

gave Feng Ziying the impression that the structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even the quality of the entire officials were a very vague and chaotic feeling.

He has been in this world for so long, and he has come into contact with all kinds of people.

There are not only capable ministers like Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Shen Xuan, and Zhao Wenzhao who are diligent in political affairs and good at affairs, but also capable people like Li Sancai, Wang Ziteng, and Zhang Jin, including his father, who have strong personal desires, but are also capable, and people like Gu Bingqian and Jia Yucun who have talents and abilities, but lack the backbone and see the wind and steer, and there are even mediocre people like Jia Zheng who live a mediocre life.

Of course, these people may only represent a certain aspect of the Great Zhou court, but they have to say that this world seems so real and vivid.

Well, a capable minister may not be a capable minister, but a capable minister may not be a capable minister, there are very few of them who have both, and most of them are difficult to survive in this court, at least not too well.

In contrast, Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, capable ministers with outstanding ability and distinctive personalities, plus Li Sancai and Wang Ziteng, another type of capable ministers who may be slightly inferior in terms of official quality, but are not inferior in ability, these two types of people often occupy a dominant position in this court and belong to the elite of this group.

In Feng Ziying's view, this is often a sign that there is still hope for the imperial court.

People like Gu Bingqian and Jia Yucun are also capable and talented, but they lack style and bones, and have no bottom line, this kind of person often mixes very well, and even turns purple at some times, but it is not easy to become a long-term and outstanding success to the next level, because there will not be too many people following such people.

"The mountain chief seems to have a feeling." Feng Ziying laughed, and the substitute official Ying Zhen smoothed out the paper scroll and pulled it open, which made it more ornamental.

"Well, Ziying, Brother Chengfeng went to the Ministry of Officials, and it is said that he is also struggling, but Brother Chengfeng did not mention the difficulties in his letter to me, only said that he must eliminate the accumulated shortcomings and make a difference, but I can still feel the predicament he is facing."

This tone and posture no longer looks like a conversation between a teacher and a student, and Guan Yingzhen is still the head of the academy, which makes it even more incredible.

But this has become the norm.

Both Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen have gradually adapted to this kind of near-equal discussion and dialogue in the past few months.

In their opinion, Feng Ziying is indeed a little unbearable in terms of scripture and righteousness, and can be called a leader in other aspects.

If Feng Ziying's foundation can have the level of practicing state affairs, Xu Ji and others, then the first and second class of Xia Ke Chunfu dare not say, and the third class is more than enough.

The problem is that his foundation is too bad, even if he takes the time to make up for it now, it is not a day or two to make up for it, and it depends on the situation in the middle of next year.

Although Feng Ziying was still very respectful in front of Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen still preferred to talk to him in a discursive tone and angle.

"Mountain Chief, to put it mildly, during the last ten years of the Emperor's reign, the wind of fatigue prevailed, and it has been normal up and down, mediocrity flooded the court, and Qi Shi suddenly took over and wanted to clean the old dust, which will be very difficult, the disciple is not very in favor of such a rain and wind action, last month when the disciple went home to rest, he also went to visit Qi Shi, and also talked to Qi Shi about this meaning, but Qi Shi was always unwilling to give up."

Feng Ziying's eyebrows were already a little more worried.

Qi Yongtai is a person with a distinct personality and a tough temperament, since he was recruited into the Ministry of Officials and served as the left waiter, he intends to change the current state of people who are floating and prevaricating.

It's just that when there are Shangshu and the elders, and there are right attendants and the directors of each department still have various thoughts, such actions will inevitably encounter great resistance.

What's more important is that even the emperor is still holding back, and he can only tolerate such a situation, can you change the world with a left servant?

But Qi Yongtai is not a person who gives up easily, according to his idea, that is, to seek his own government in his position, even if he can change some, it is worth it.

Unlike Qi Yongtai's toughness, tenacity and tenacity, Guan Yingzhen is more flexible and flexible, and is better at considering and handling affairs from multiple angles.

Feng Ziying felt that Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen cooperated quite tacitly, but it was a pity that although Liang Yuan was good, it was not a long-term love home.

After all, Qingtan Academy is just a place to teach, educate and cultivate talents, for Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, they still hope that they can set foot in the court and display their ambition of governing the country and leveling the world.

Guan Yingzhen shook his head, if Qi Yongtai was such an easily persuaded person, he would not have fallen into a few cases.

He is also not optimistic about Qi Yongtai's series of measures to change the internal discipline of the officials.

It's very simple, you Qi Yongtai have been away from the imperial court for many years, and most of the people in the court are now the ministers left behind by the emperor, so it can be said that you don't have a group of people who can support you in doing things.

Although the emperor intends to innovate, but when the emperor is still there, the emperor will never risk the world's disapproval to do this.

Of course, you Qi Yongtai can do it, and even the emperor will support you to a certain extent, but it is impossible to openly support you.

In this situation, there is no strong support from outside, no strong response from inside, how can you push away these innovations you want to do?

In Guan Yingzhen's view, what Qi Yongtai needs to do is to stabilize his position, find out the situation, and wait for the time to be ripe.

What is the ripe time, that is, when the emperor wants to make up his mind to move this area, then even if you have certain conditions, you have to promote and train a large number of ministers who agree with your views, so that you can really do what you want to do and continue to do it.

"That's it, Brother Chengfeng also has his considerations and insistence, and let him go." Guan Yingzhen also knew that he couldn't intervene in this matter.

What he can do is to do a good job of Qi Yongtai's stay, so that Qingtan Academy can continue to send talents to the imperial court.

After all, one day, when this group of talents slowly grows up and becomes the backbone of the imperial court, then they can raise their arms and look at the scenery.

At that time, if you want to do something, you can say that it is all over the water, and it will come naturally.

"Mountain Chief, in fact, what we are going to discuss today is to provide a boost for Master Qi, although the disciple does not think that this can play a role in change, but at least we can brew some foundation for doing something in the future and lay some foreshadowing."

Feng Ziying's words made Guan Yingzhen laugh, this guy can always see farther than others, and he can also capture some changes better.

"Looks like you're aware of that, well, I do." Guan Yingzhen groaned: "Brother Chengfeng and I didn't support this approach too early, firstly, Brother Chengfeng was not even familiar with the situation, and secondly, there was a round of big changes in the DPRK and China at that time, which was not conducive to the stability of the DPRK situation, but now is the time." ”

While the two were talking, Han Jing, Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, and He Fengsheng had all arrived one after another.

Guan Yingzhen beckoned a few of them to sit down, and then began to get straight into the topic.

"Previously, according to the meaning of Qi Shanchang, we have selected three aspects as a breakthrough after the year, as long as it involves the household department, the Ministry of Rites and the Dali Temple, specifically, the main thing is the reform of the opening of the Chinese law, the rectification of the Guozijian and the improvement of the shortcomings in the trial of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department."

Lian Guoshi is the main person in charge of this affairs.

Originally, it was supposed to be Han Jing's, but Han Jing refused because he had not completed his studies and lacked energy, and was only willing to assist Lian Guoshi to handle this matter, so he let Lian Guoshi take the lead.

Since it has been decided to expand the influence of Qingtan Academy to the court, it is just right to use Qi Yongtai's already serving as a left waiter in the Ministry of Officials to push this matter to the court.
