Chapter 387: Admonition
Regarding Feng Yi's return, the Bai family was not as surprised as usual, but was deeply worried.
After the previous turmoil of the King of Fenyang's intention to usurp the throne, the Bai family somewhat knew some of Feng Yi's position in this turmoil - it seemed that the scenery was infinite, and both sides tried their best to win it over, but in fact, it was infinitely dangerous, and if they were not careful, they could become the existence of the two sides competing to divide each other.
Now although the king of Fenyang has been defeated, the competition between him and Emperor Longqing has not yet ended, and at this time, Emperor Longqing is in a hurry to edict Feng Yi to return to Beijing, and it is not a good thing to add officials to the knighthood.
However, in front of so many people, Bai didn't want to ask too much, so he could only say goodbye to the Lishan monk first, thank him for his care during this time, board the carriage, and return to Beijing with Feng Yi.
As for the three little ones, Feng Yuan was excited and excited, and he could finally learn martial arts and the art of war with his father, while Feng Zhi and Feng Shuyuan looked at Feng Yi curiously, stepped forward and called "Daddy", and kept staring at him, their faces full of surprise.
They have finally met their legendary father!
The group was unhurried and rushed to the capital.
The guards at the city gate were more strictly checked, and even if Feng Yi revealed his identity, they still respectfully and routinely interrogated before letting him go.
"Master Hou, I'm offended. The soldiers defending the city said respectfully with apologetic faces, "There is an order from above, and the little ones dare not disobey." ”
Feng Yi nodded and praised: "You have done a good job! The city gate is an extremely critical place, so you should be so cautious!"
Otherwise, once you get mixed into the fine work, it will not be the rise and fall of a city, but the destruction of the entire beam!
The soldiers defending the city were affirmed and praised by Feng Yi, and they all straightened their waists immediately, their faces full of solemnity and excitement.
To be praised by the Great Liang God of War Wu'an Hou Mansion is the desire and glory of all soldiers.
The group crossed the city gate and entered the capital.
The capital seems to be peaceful, but the number of pedestrians and vendors on the streets has greatly decreased compared to before, and there is an unsettling atmosphere in the deserted and deserted.
Bai frowned and asked Feng Shujia, "Did your father say why he asked our whole family to return to the capital at this time?"
It's safe to live in Lishan, so why do you want to go back to the capital and be afraid?
The Bai family was not afraid to bear the wind and rain with Feng Yi, and even feared life and death, but she was reluctant to let Feng Shujia's sisters and brothers suffer, and she was even more afraid that they would become hostages in the hands of Emperor Longqing to coerce Feng Yi.
With Emperor Longqing's character, if he was really in a hurry, he might directly take someone's life with a knife in his hand.
For example, almost all of the people who have been killed recently because of rumors......
Feng Shujia shook her head, and seeing that Bai's brows were tightly locked, she sighed and said, "Father also had to do it...... If we let the saint know that we have been living in Lishan, I will definitely be suspicious of my father this time. When that time comes, my father just wants to protect us, but I'm afraid he won't be able to protect us. ”
After all, when he returned to the capital, Feng Yi was like a big bird in a cage with his wings clipped, and everything was under the control of Emperor Longqing.
Therefore, Feng Yi was just a gesture to dispel Emperor Longqing's doubts, so as to protect his wife and children tightly under his wings.
Bai Shi's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, it was really unfortunate to be a courtier to have such a suspicious monarch......
All the way back to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, Grandma Niu, Lamei and others had already greeted them at the door, all of them looking excited.
Now facing them again, Feng Shujia felt a little guilty, although Zhang Huyuan and others were left behind to protect them at that time, and they also strictly guarded the secret of their mother and son leaving the mansion, but in the end, they were left behind......
Now seeing that everyone is safe and sound, Feng Shujia is finally relieved.
After greeting each other, everyone entered the house one after another.
Because there were important matters to discuss, the henchmen and guards who followed Feng Yi back this time did not return to their respective homes, but went to the Wu'an Hou Mansion first.
Lamei saw the outstanding and polite person in the crowd from afar, and her heart was pounding, but she didn't dare to let her eyes linger on him, and after a quick glance, she hurriedly followed Bai to the Summer Palace.
As for Du Qiuping and others, they naturally stayed in the outer courtyard and were greeted by the Tao Steward.
After a busy clean-up, Feng Yi didn't have time to say a few words to his wife and children, so he hurriedly entered the palace to meet him.
Compared with the ease when he entered the palace last time, Feng Yi's heart was heavy when he entered the palace this time.
Before entering the palace gate, he had already felt the tension and slaughter there, Feng Yi's footsteps paused slightly, dressed up, and strode forward.
Although the palace is still shuttled back and forth, most of the palace maids and chamberlains at that time have now been replaced by guards, which makes the entire former dynasty impenetrable.
The thick armor, sharp weapons, and cold face made the already gloomy atmosphere of the entire palace even more gloomy and lonely.
Feng Yi received by Emperor Longqing in the imperial study.
When he knelt down to greet him, Feng Yi quickly glanced at Emperor Longqing.
At this glance, he found that Emperor Longqing had become haggard and uneasy compared to the last time he entered the palace to see him, and his eyebrows were a little more depressed, but at a glance, he could feel that it was like a poisonous snake secretly watching the cold and uneasy.
"Minister Feng Yi knocked on the Holy ......" Feng Yi bowed his body.
However, before waiting for the full ceremony, he was helped up by Emperor Longqing, who hurriedly walked down.
"Feng Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!" Emperor Longqing made a polite corporal gesture and gave Feng Yi a seat to the side.
Feng Yi repeatedly excused himself, but when he saw that he couldn't refuse, he bowed down and thanked him and sat down.
Emperor Longqing also sat back, his eyes were red and he sighed: "I look forward to it day and night, but I can be regarded as looking forward to Feng Aiqing's return!
Feng Yi hurriedly leaned over and arched his hand and said, "The saint is serious, and the minister is ashamed and dare not take ......."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Longqing waving his hand.
"Feng Aiqing doesn't have to be modest...... Emperor Longqing looked melancholy, and said with emotion, "Now that the country is in turmoil, and the powerful ministers collude with foreign humiliation to subvert the dynasty, we need a loyal and patriotic person like Feng Aiqing to correct the evils of the times, and work with me to quell the rebels and thieves, and create a glorious and prosperous era of the Great Liang!"
The words are impassioned.
When Feng heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.
He didn't feel much about Emperor Longqing's "touting", he grew up in the countryside since he was a child, lived hard under his brother and sister-in-law, and later fought in the military for a long time......
For him, the most important thing is that the world is peaceful and his family is safe.
However, since Emperor Longqing mentioned that the king of Fenyang colluded with foreign enemies......
Feng Yi straightened his face and cautiously probed: "Since the King of Fenyang and Xiliang have already colluded, then maybe the matter of King Jin's 'collusion with Xiliang to rebel' is also his conspiracy, and the purpose is to make a gap between your brother and break the arms of the ......."
