Chapter Seventy-Two: Inside the Imperial Study

Behind the wide bookcase, Feng Qing, who was dressed in a dragon robe, buried his head in reading a bunch of chapters. A half-human-high incense burner next to the bookcase faintly curled a wisp of smoke. The room was silent, and a few rays of light poured in through the window.

Outside the door, the cotton curtain moved, and the chief eunuch Xia Linhai came in, holding a letter in his hand, "Your Majesty, the eagle guard sent a letter." He whispered, and at the same time handed the letter in his hand to Feng Qing behind the bookcase.

Opening the letter, Feng Qing looked at it, and he didn't know what he saw, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Order the marshal and the prime minister of the military department to come to me. He shouted out the door.

After a while, Xia Linhai's shrill voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Marshal Wu of the Military Department and Prime Minister Fang are here." ”

"Well, call them in. ”

The curtain of the door was raised, and Lord Wu, who was dressed as a soldier, and Lord Fang, the thin prime minister, walked in, and saw Feng Qing busy bowing.

"That's it. Feng Qing said lightly.

The two of them hurriedly stood up straight, quietly waiting for the wind and green to watch the folds behind the bookcase.

After reviewing the recitals of his subordinates, Feng Qing raised his eyes and looked at the two adults standing in front of the desk. The chubby Lord Wu is the general of the military department, his ancestors have been following the Feng family, after several generations of loyalty, his second daughter Wu Yan is the queen of Fengqing, now more than half a hundred years old but still high-spirited.

"Lord Wu, what news has you had in Jiguo lately?" his eyes glanced at Lord Wu who was standing, and he couldn't see any expression.

"Back to Your Majesty, Bian Guan wrote yesterday that the new emperor of the Ji Kingdom has not been on the throne for a long time, and there has been no abnormal behavior. The slightly chubby Master Wu said in a rough voice.

"Oh, then tell me about it, Prime Minister. ”

The thin Lord Fang pondered slightly, and said in a low voice: "I heard that after the new emperor of the Ji Kingdom ascended the throne, he worked hard to rectify corruption, and now the national situation is much better than when the previous Emperor Ji was governed. "

"Is that all you know?" Feng Qing stood up from her seat and slowly approached the two of them, eagle-like eyes sweeping over their faces. The two of them immediately felt a chill rushing over their faces. After a while, Feng Qing took the money and walked to the back of the bookcase, turned his back to him, and said coldly: "Do you know who the general of the Ji Kingdom is now?"

Master Wu and Master Fang, who looked confused, glanced at each other and then replied in unison: "Wei Chen doesn't know. ”

"Iron Courage Divine Arrow, I think the two adults have heard of it, you only know that the Ji Kingdom has changed the new emperor, but you don't care about the change of the military department of the Ji Kingdom. Speaking of the latter faintly, the tone of the last sentence was faintly accentuated.

Hearing the Iron Courage Divine Arrow, the chubby Lord Wu and the thin Lord Fang couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

"Hasn't this person disappeared for twenty years, how could he have reappeared in the country of thistle?" Master Wu asked with some confusion.

"Are you asking me again?" there was mockery and a hint of anger in his tone.

"Weichen didn't dare. Master Wu hurriedly explained, his forehead was already covered with water droplets.

Slowly turning around and looking at the two adults in front of him, Feng Qing eased the expression on his face, "Lord Wu, is there any news from the Molong Kingdom?"

Master Wu hurriedly bent down slightly and replied with his fists clenched: "There is news from the border pass that the King of Molong is old, and it seems that his intention is to make peace with my big dragon, and the guard at the border pass has also been loosened. ”

"Well, the old monarch of Molong has the intention of reconciliation, but Molong has always been a cavalry tribe outside the Guan, and there are some warlike people in the country who don't want to live a peaceful life. After a slight pause, he continued:

"It's just that this iron courage arrow, I also have some scruples, this person is determined by one arrow, and my big dragon has no one who can compete with it at present. Speaking of this, Feng Qing sighed lightly. He has long been eyeing the Ji Kingdom in the east, but because the Three Kingdoms in the south of the Yangtze River and the Molong in the north are not stable, he has been forbearing. Now that the Three Kingdoms of Jiangnan belong, he wanted to send someone to Molong to negotiate a peace agreement between the two countries, but unexpectedly, the iron gallant arrow that had disappeared for twenty years suddenly appeared in the Ji Kingdom, and he became the new generalissimo of the Ji Kingdom. Forty years ago, the monarch of the Desert Dragon Kingdom was killed by an arrow of the Iron Courage Divine Arrow, and the name of the Iron Courage Divine Arrow has made everyone in the Desert Dragon Kingdom change their color when they hear it.

"Thistle Rujin, I underestimate you. Feng Qing muttered to himself in a low voice. Then he raised his voice and ordered: "Send a letter to General Qin Yang and Qin Yuan at the border pass, and order the two of them to closely monitor the movements of Ji Guo and Molong." Don't slack off. ”

"Your Ministers obeyed. ”

"Also, now that the Three Kingdoms of Jiangnan have belonged to our Dalong, half of the soldiers deployed at the Yanlong border pass will be withdrawn. ”

With a wave of his hand, the two adults gently exited the imperial study in silence, and when they went out, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took out a brocade to wipe the sweat on their foreheads, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After waiting for the marshal of the military department and the prime minister to leave, Feng Qing called softly: "Xia Linhai." ”

A shrill sound of consent immediately came from outside the door, and the door curtain moved lightly, and Xia Linhai, who was hunched over.

"What's going on over there in the Xuan Palace," there was not the slightest emotion in his faint tone.

"Back to your majesty, you have already moved in. The prince of Yanlong and the prince of Jiang Li also moved in. The envoys of Western Wu remained in the post house. Xia Linhai bowed and replied.

"What about Princess Rongyu?"

"Also lived in. ”

"Heh, this Jiang Li's princess is also generous, and she ran around with her fiancΓ© all over the world before she passed the door. There was a hint of ridicule and a hint of appreciation in his tone.

As if remembering something, he suddenly asked Xia Linhai: "Have you heard what kind of medicine Jiang Li Guojun was taking when he was assassinated?"

Xia Linhai hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the person sent didn't inquire, but just said that the medicine was in the bell." Jiang Li's imperial physicians also didn't know where it came from. But the old slave had heard something else," his shrill voice paused slightly.

"What's the matter?" Feng Qing asked, looking at him.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the person who came back reported that Princess Rong Yu was born to a noble concubine of Rong Yuan's exiles, and it didn't take long for Rong Yuan to find her. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Feng Qing's eyebrows moved slightly.

After a slight sigh, Feng Qing didn't ask anything.

At this time, the voice of a little eunuch came from the door: "Your Majesty, the prince asks to see you." ”

"Well, let in. Feng Qinghui said to the door with a stern expression.

A luxurious dark gold brocade robe sets off the handsome and arrogant prince Fenghe.

"The sons and daughters pay homage to their father. He knelt down in his robe, and the golden crown on his head shone brightly.

"Get up. Looking at the wind river kneeling in front of him, Feng Qing's eyes crossed a trace of softness but fleeting.

Wind River, who stood up, stood obediently to the side, waiting for his father's questioning.

"What's the matter with you?" Feng Qing, who was sitting behind the desk, took the unfinished piece on the table and continued to read it.

Feng He looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Feng Qing didn't urge him, and let him stand in front of him and think. After a while, Feng He plucked up his courage and said to Feng Qing: "Ask my father to go and see the queen mother." ”

Hearing this, Feng Qingzheng lowered his head to look at the fold for a moment, and then looked at it again, but asked without any emotion in his mouth: "What's wrong with your queen mother?"

"The queen mother has been unwell since the beginning of the summer. Wind River whispered.

"Didn't you ask the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat it?" a cold and indifferent voice came from behind the lenient case.

"Yes, I saw it, but there was no sign of improvement, and today the queen mother coughed with blood in her sputum. Speaking of this, Feng He's tone became a little hurried, faintly mixed with a trace of sadness.

The head of the Kanto fold finally lifted. A pair of bottomless eyes crossed a trace of surprise and indescribable complex emotions.

After a long time, Feng Qing said to Feng He: "Go back, tell your mother, I will go to her for dinner today." ”

"Father Xie, son-in-law will go and inform the queen mother. Feng He was so happy that he gave Feng Qing a salute, and almost ran out of the imperial study.

Looking at the back of Feng He turning away, Feng Qing's eyes became even deeper and darker.
