Chapter 178: Feng Cheng

Feng Cheng is Feng Sheng's nephew.

But not sons.

The imperial court title is inherited by its own law, and it is generally only the son-in-law. Concubines may not be qualified. Of course, a concubine can become a concubine by some means. The imperial court regulations were not so strict. Of course, if you can't. Generally it is not a patriarchal problem, it is someone who makes the emperor uncomfortable. The emperor picks thorns.

However, the title was passed on to his nephew. This is beyond the scope of the imperial court.

In general, there will be a grace.

Must be granted permission by the Emperor. Otherwise it is impossible.

So Feng Cheng passed on to Feng Sheng. When stepson. There is no problem in this patriarchal system. There is no problem in inheriting Feng Sheng's wealth, land, and connections. But inheriting Feng Sheng's title, then there is a problem.

And it's a big problem.

After all, if the title can be passed on to the nephew, then there will be no heir to the title in the world.

But in fact, many titles are extinct.

And Feng Sheng is old. His contemporaries are gone. And what is terrible is that this big war between the north and the south is also a major reshuffle in the army. Originally, the founding nobles were to be replaced by the future nobles of the Peaceful Rebellion. In other words, even if Feng Sheng is alive.

The power of the future is gone.

After all, Feng Sheng's power and influence. It is based on the system of founding honors and the world's guards.

Now Beijing is a completely new system.

In this case, how much power can Feng Sheng have?

Once Feng Sheng died. It's gone.

Feng Cheng's future is dark.

Of course, his darkness is naturally different from the darkness of ordinary people. But compared with the present, there is a national support behind it, which is completely incomparable.

What Feng Cheng desperately wants now is actually meritorious. Before Feng Sheng's death, he turned Feng Sheng's influence into a knighthood.

So that the Feng family can inherit the times.

It's like the Mu family.

He couldn't be as unhurried as Mu Chun, he said, "Guogong, now that the Northern Army has gone down to Guanzhong, broken the Yellow River, and the troops have reached between the Jianghuai River, it doesn't really matter. At the really important time, Mei Yin has already arrived in Sichuan, and the Jianmen Pass has been breached. Once Shu was taken by the Northern Army, the benefits of the Yangtze River would not be owned by Nanjing. Not to mention that the Northern Navy Division is above Nanjing, and now it is wandering at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Nanjing cannot be expelled, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, and the rest is just the end. It's a matter of time. We are far away in Yunnan. If we don't do anything, there may not be a place for us in the court in the future."

"Don't you think about it?"

Mu Chun said, "Doesn't General Feng want to think about Song Guogong?"

Feng Cheng said, "Uncle has left Nanjing to escape the summer."

Mu Ying understood as soon as she heard that this might not only be Feng Cheng's meaning, but also Feng Sheng's meaning.

In fact, this is not the case, Feng Sheng just wants to avoid the matter of Nanjing. I don't want to be hurt innocent when I get old. He didn't want to do anything anyway? Feng Sheng's mentality is actually similar to Mu Chun's. Everything. I don't care about glory and wealth anymore. Don't even think about what to get in this one thing?

After all, what did Feng Sheng really want to do? In Zhu Yunwen's false and wrongful affairs, seeking the power of the Beijing camp, surrendering with his backhand, or getting ready, to open the city to the northern army, it is not easy.

But such a tasteless thing, Feng Sheng would not do.

That's how to get around.

Of course, this avoidance also made Feng Cheng have other thoughts.

If Feng Sheng was in the capital division, Feng Cheng would definitely not dare to have this thought. After all, his glory and wealth are all on Feng Sheng alone. There is Feng Shengzai, he is the representative of Song Guogong in the army, and the veteran will respect him when he sees him.

What he did would also be interpreted as Feng Sheng's meaning.

No one dares to underestimate it.

But once Feng Sheng is gone, who is Feng Cheng? Who knows?

Therefore, Feng Cheng is a general outside, and his family members are not in Beijing. First, Feng Cheng's parents are no longer there. After all, Feng Sheng chose to follow

When you are a child, you also have to consider this, with your father here, many things are not convenient. As for Feng Cheng's family, the imperial court is not strictly guarded. Because Feng Sheng can be regarded as Feng Cheng's guarantor.

Therefore, Feng Cheng had already arranged his family. It's no longer in Nanjing.

After all, the people of Nanjing are panicking now. This kind of thing is very easy to do.

It's just that Feng Sheng is Feng Cheng's guarantor, one of Feng Sheng's countless identities, and the most inconspicuous one. A lot of people ignore it.

Although Mu Chun knew, this might be what Feng Sheng meant. But still in the heart. said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, such a big thing, let's wait. Drink tea, drink tea."

Feng Cheng saw Mu Chun say this. I know Mu Chun's thoughts.

The two of them have been working together in Yunnan for so many years. They also know each other very well. Know what kind of person the other person is. Mu Chun is actually very good. As Mu Ying's son, he followed Mu Ying to fight and fought many times. Not the same as his disgraceful brother.

However, Mu Chun's fate is the same as Mu Ying's, he died young.

Now, the medical progress brought by He Xi has spread, and for ordinary people, it is probably just a pox. But it's different for dignitaries.

Around these dignitaries, who do not invite a few family doctors from too hospitals. These doctors have worked wonders in treating tropical diseases. Historically, Mu Chun probably contracted a tropical infectious disease because of his battle in Yunnan.

Nowadays, Yunnan certainly has chaos from time to time. But the Ming army's obvious weapon superiority, fighting these toasts, is simply handy. There is no problem at all. Mu Chun doesn't have to stay in the tropics for long.

Coupled with a good medical and health system, Mu Chun, who has begun to get sick in history, is still alive and kicking now.

For a person like Mu Chun, it is difficult to shake his mind with words.

However, fortunately, Feng Sheng was also prepared.

Feng Cheng said indifferently, "Okay. I know what the prince means." Feng Sheng picked up the teacup and drank it all. He slammed the tea bowl on the table and said, "However, I also let Kokuko know what I mean. I've arranged it. I'll do it tomorrow."

Mu Chun was stunned for a moment and said, "Do it. What are you doing?"

Feng Cheng said, "Naturally, it is to set things right and return to the imperial court."

Mu Chun is not a fool, so he naturally knows that this court is nothing else. Naturally, it was the Beijing Imperial Court. Feng Cheng wants to respond to Beijing.

Mu Chun immediately said: "I just said, people like us, whether it is Nanjing or Beijing, are indispensable to our glory and wealth, why should we be like this?"

Feng Cheng said, "I'm different from you. Needless to say. Anyway, I've got my mind set up. Brother Mu has two choices, first, kill me here. The head was sent to Nanjing, and he pledged allegiance to Nanjing. Second, they did it with me."

"Of course, if Brother Mu thinks that killing me here is not enjoyable, then you can also contact other people, and we will fight in Kunming City tomorrow. Win or lose. How?"

Mu Chun smiled bitterly and said, "You're forcing me."

Feng Cheng said, "It's just forcing you, you may think you can wait. But it seems to me that the time has come when the situation in the world has come to have to make a choice. You have to choose one or the other."

Mu Chun smiled bitterly. What can he choose?

It is impossible for him to choose Nanjing.

Nanjing was defeated. Mu Chun knows.

What did he choose Nanjing for? Do you want to die with Nanjing? He is not the kind of person who is loyal to Nanjing. The unswerving man to death. Or anyone who has his own strength and faction in the court. It's hard to be simply loyal to the emperor.

He has to look out for his own interests and the faction behind him.

The same goes for Mu Chun.

The Mu family has been operating in Yunnan for a long time, and it can be regarded as a local faction in Yunnan. Almost all of the local health centers in Yunnan were arranged by Mu Ying back then. The generals of the guards in various places said that the Mu family slaves were a bit excessive. But it is the Mu family, but there is no problem.

So Mu Chun chose to wait. No, it's not his choice

, which is also the idea of local forces in Yunnan.

After all, after the world is decided, there may be no reward for throwing yourself in Beijing, but it is unlikely that there will be a punishment either. But if you surrender early, Yunnan is likely to be involved in this war.

This is not what the local forces in Yunnan think. After all, it is already very tiring for Yunnan to suppress the Tusi in various places and open up to the south. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court.
