The cold wind howls outside the window, and the interior is warm like spring. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The emperor picked up the tea that Feng Jiutian had given him again, and continued to ask, "What else do you want besides eating together?" While I'm happy today, I'll reward you too! ”

Feng Jiutian's hand holding the copper kettle paused, shook his head and did not speak.

The emperor looked at him and smiled, "What? Don't dare to talk to me? ”

Feng Jiutian put down the copper kettle and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father, the son does have a request, but he doesn't want to say it now. The sons and daughters were reluctant to be by their father's side, and they wanted to be by their father's side for a few more days. ”

Obedient and obedient, the emperor listened to what he said, so he also put down the cup, looked at him seriously and asked: "Jiu'er has something to say, although my father is old, he is not stupid." What's your plan? Tell me that if I can do it, I will prepare everything for you. ”

Feng Jiutian's phoenix eyes showed a hint of melancholy, and he hesitated again and again before saying to the emperor: "This time, I Donghuang and Beiming have a bad relationship, what is my father's plan?" ”

When the emperor saw him mention state affairs, he straightened his expression, and his eyes full of vicissitudes also showed a little helplessness, and sighed: "I Donghuang and Beiming were old enemies a hundred years ago. Although the two countries have ceased war for several years, it is also for the sake of people's livelihood, but the old feud between the two countries is difficult to eliminate. Your imperial brother has really given me a problem this time. ”

Feng Jiutian looked at the emperor's melancholy appearance, unconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the emperor's arm, and comforted: "Father doesn't have to worry. Although the imperial brother was a little reckless this time, the ambition of the North Underworld has been around for a long time. The Northern Underworld is warlike by nature, and it is only a matter of time before it provokes war. ”

The emperor took a serious look at Feng Jiutian's face, this little boy who used to cry in his arms to find his mother concubine had inadvertently grown into a handsome young man, maybe he shouldn't treat him as a child anymore!

"Jiu'er, tell me, what do you think of the things in this world?" The emperor asked Feng Jiutian with interest.

Feng Jiutian had already held back his words and wanted to tell his father, but now that he had the opportunity, he was also very happy in his heart, and his eyes shone with excitement, as if he wanted to show his father some novel discovery.

"Father, in fact, the child does not support an alliance with the Northern Underworld. This is not just because of this case, but because our alliance with the Northern Underworld will not benefit from anything, but will provide the Northern Underworld with an opportunity to provoke a war. ”

"Oh?" The emperor was also intrigued by his words, and continued to ask, "How do you say this?" ”

"Beiming originally occupied the Mongolian steppe, and a hundred years ago led troops south, crossed the Great Wall, and occupied the land of Yanyun to build the capital, which is a hundred years long. The master of Guozijian once said that if it weren't for the ancestor who led the army to resist desperately, the entire Central Plains would probably be trampled flat by the iron hooves of the Qimeng Department. ”

When the emperor heard him talk about that painful history, he frowned and nodded.

Feng Jiutian continued: "If these barbarians are outside the Great Wall, even if they control 300,000 strings, they are just a group of herdsmen, and at most they only have the advantage of cavalry. But once they crossed the Great Wall, the nomads would turn into steppe empires. They used the iron ore and craftsmen of our Central Plains to form an invincible army in the world. If it weren't for the fact that I, Donghuang, controlled the land of fish and rice, and united with Huaguo to block the grain route of the Northern Underworld, I am afraid that the current world would have been the world of the Northern Underworld. Therefore, Erchen thought that Huaguo must not be allowed. If the country is broken, the grain road in the north will be open, and I will be in danger in Donghuang. ”

The emperor was surprised when he heard this, not that he hadn't thought of these truths, but that he was amazed that Feng Jiutian could have such insight. Even those civil ministers and military generals who have been in politics for many years may not understand it, and how can this young son, who has never participated in political affairs, see the situation and pattern so thoroughly?

The emperor looked at Feng Jiutian who was talking in a daze, and only after a while did he ask in a voice that was a little excited and trembling: "Then the emperor thinks that when this chaos happens, how should I, Donghuang, deal with it?" ”

Feng Jiutian didn't think about it, and said, "Today, it's divided. The north is strong, China is rich, the west is strong, and the south is dangerous. Although my Donghuang is rich and not weak China, and strong and not weak in the North Underworld, it is not easy to swallow China in the west with the strength of one country and resist the North Underworld in the north, and sufficient preparation is required. In addition, although the Nanzhao State does not have to worry, the westernmost Qin State should not be underestimated, and it is unknown whether it will take advantage of the chaos to grow stronger and then march eastward. ”

He paused slightly, and then continued: "However, if you want to dominate the country, Lianhua is the best policy. Only by beating the North Hells out of the Great Wall can it be the beginning of the stability of the world. ”

The emperor saw that Feng Jiutian was clearly organized and his judgment was accurate, and said in disbelief: "Jiu'er, did you come up with these things yourself?" ”

Feng Jiutian was stunned, and suddenly understood. His father took good care of him, and always pampered and spoiled him as his most beloved child, and never let him participate in those tiring court politics. His remarks today may have a great impact on the old emperor.

Despite this, Feng Jiutian nodded decisively and said to the emperor: "Father, the child has nothing to do, so he will take some history books and read them, these are all random guesses by the child, if there is any mistake or omission, please correct the father." ”

The old emperor shook his head with satisfaction, and a few tears flashed in his eyes. The emperor raised his head, blinked back the tears that had not yet fallen from his eyes, and then snorted and said, "Your mother and concubine have knowledge under the spring, and you should also look at it!" I didn't expect wow, I didn't expect that I had worked hard all my life, and after all, there was a successor! ”

The emperor stretched out two hands, held Feng Jiutian's arms, and said excitedly: "I want to tell your mother concubine, I want to thank her for giving birth to a good son!" At this point, the Emperor could no longer hold those tears in his eyes, and let them slide down on their own.

When Feng Jiutian heard his father mention his mother's concubine, all kinds of feelings came to his heart, his nose was sour, and he also shed tears. A child who has no mother since he was a child, even if he has the love of his father, where can he be happy?

Fortunately, Feng Jiutian was still sensible, and he didn't make his father sad for long, so he hurriedly persuaded and comforted him, and changed the topic: "Father, didn't you just ask the child what he wanted?" The child has already thought about it, the child has nothing to ask for in this life, but he is willing to leave the border of the court, fight on the battlefield, and protect the peace of my Donghuang I. ”

The emperor was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "How can this be done?" I let you practice martial arts in order to strengthen your body and make up for the injuries you have suffered since childhood. You are my youngest child, how can you leave me? Besides, those knives and guns have no eyes, in case they are injured in the slightest, how can my father go to see your mother in the future? ”

Feng Jiutian frowned and listened to the emperor's speech, before he asked the emperor with a wry smile: "Father, do you want to let your sons and daughters be locked up in a cage for the rest of your life?" ”

The emperor was stopped by his words. Yes, he is now seventeen years old, and in another year he will marry a concubine and open a house to live in another house. I am already old, I can protect him for a while, can I still protect him for a lifetime? As a member of the royal family, the emperor understands very well the test of human nature of power, especially the stupid and incompetent prince, can he tolerate his extremely smart little brother?

The emperor hesitated. (To be continued.) )
