Chapter 222: Xiangrui
Feng Yang ignored Feng Tingting's plea, and the people who served in the entire mansion, from the housekeeper to the concierge, everyone received ten whips, which is really unreasonable, Feng Tingting and Xiao Renjie have been together for so long, and he, the head of the family, does not know at all.
In the evening, Feng Yang and the angry Feng Tingting came to the palace, Feng Tingting was directly taken to the harem by the palace maids, and Feng Yang went to the main hall in front.
This time, Li Jun's banquet to entertain Feng Yang was held in the Zihui Palace, and the Zihui Hall would normally only be opened during the Great Dynasty Meeting, or when receiving extremely important guests, the banquet would be held here, which was also the so-called state banquet.
Entering the main hall, Li Jun was already waiting, Feng Yang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed three times and bowed nine times: "Minister Feng Yang see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
Li Jun's kind voice came from above: "Aiqing is flat." ”
Feng Yang stood up, this is the second time Feng Yang has seen Li Jun, the last time Feng Yang saw Li Jun, Li Jun had just ascended the throne, at that time Li Jun was in very poor health and his face was also very pale, so when Feng Yang saw such an emperor, he just shook his head and sighed: The world of the Tang Dynasty may not be long in coming.
Who knew that in just five years, Li Jun, the young son of heaven, pulled Datang out of the abyss again, Datang burst out of passion again, Beijin, Beiliao, and Southern Chu all suffered defeats at the hands of Datang, and Datang once again became the first power in the world, for which Feng Yang was both relieved and awkward, relieved that his children and grandchildren could still live a peaceful life, and the awkward thing was that the ambition that had just ignited in Feng Yang's heart was ruthlessly extinguished again.
Feng Yang shook his head and threw away the messy thoughts in his mind and took his seat, Li Jun clapped his hands, and a group of Korean dancers walked up.
Li Jun asked with a smile: "Feng Qing, you have been in the south for a long time, and you can't see the dance of the north, so you have to see it well today." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust." Feng Yang hurriedly replied.
After three rounds of drinking, after the Goryeo dancers went down, they were replaced by a group of Beijin dancers, the dance of Beijin was different from that of Goryeo, there was a smell of battlefield conquest in it, Li Jun looked at Feng Yang and found that Feng Yang was very fascinated.
Li Jun secretly scolded in his heart: "This is also an old fox." ”
After the dance, Li Jun clapped his hands, and a group of Northern Liao dancers came in, at this time Feng Yang's face finally changed, Feng Yang had already seen that Li Jun was nakedly warning himself, and it was estimated that some people in his Feng family would not be able to keep it.
Li Jun just wanted to warn Feng Yang through this, boy, it's okay to be less, follow me and have meat to eat, if you go against me, it will be the end of Goryeo, Beijin, and Beiliao.
After the last batch of dancers from the Western Regions went down, Li Jun asked with a smile, "Feng Qing, how do you feel?" ”
"Your Majesty's prestige is far and wide, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful in the four seas, and I salute Your Majesty for a cup." Feng Yang stood up and replied respectfully.
Li Jun laughed and said: "Okay, then I will borrow Aiqing's auspicious words, by the way, next year I will prepare to add three kinds of dances, one is from Yelang Kingdom, and the remaining two are from Dian Kingdom and Ancient Shu Kingdom, I wonder if Aiqing is interested?" ”
"The minister will definitely assist His Majesty in fulfilling this wish." Feng Yang hurriedly replied.
Seeing that Feng Yang was very good, Li Jun gave He Shen a look, He Shen took a list and handed it to Feng Yang, Li Jun said with a smile: "Feng Qing, I heard that some of the descendants of the Feng family are very capable, such pillars of the country should contribute to the country, and staying at home all day is a loss for the Tang Dynasty, so I am ready to arrange all the people on this list into the team of this southern expedition, I don't know what Feng Qing wants?" ”
Feng Yang felt a pimple in his heart when he heard this, and then opened the list and looked at it, as expected, these people were all children of the Feng family who had complaints about the imperial court, looking at Li Jun's expectant eyes, and the ministers next to him were also motionless with their mouths and noses, noses and hearts.
Feng Yang let out a long breath and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister obeys the order. ”
Feng Yang knew that these people probably wouldn't survive, and they had too many reasons to sacrifice when they entered the emperor's army, Feng Yang grabbed the list in his hand fiercely, and his heart was extremely sad, there are a few of his own nephews in this list, these children are all good, and now because they said things that shouldn't be said, they can't live, it's really pitiful.
At this time, Li Jun stepped down from the dragon chair and came to the front of him, patted Feng Yang on the shoulder and said, "Feng Qing, the family is big, it always needs to be cleaned up, otherwise it will affect the entire family, I hope you can distinguish which is more important?" ”
"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands, they have done something wrong, and they should be punished."
Li Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I promise that as long as they can change their faces, they will not only be able to survive, but also become heroes of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is unforgettable."
When the banquet was about to end, Feng Yang suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has an auspicious gift for Your Majesty." ”
"Oh, Aiqing has a heart, what kind of auspicious rui is it? I'll see it too. Li Jun asked curiously.
Feng Yang replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is offering a kind of agricultural rice seed, this rice breed is early, early-maturing, drought-tolerant, fine-grained, suitable for the field of high admiration, the minister has done experiments in Lingnan, and it can be harvested three times a year in Lingnan." ”
Hearing this, Li Jun was suddenly not calm, this is very likely to be the famous Zhancheng Rice, it seems that Feng Yang has really invested in order to please himself this time.
Li Jun had only heard of the reputation of Champa rice in history books, and it was introduced to China during the Northern Song Dynasty, and since then there has been a proverb that "two lakes are ripe, and the world is full".
Li Jun couldn't control his excitement, and hurriedly said, "Where is the rice seed?" Hurry up and get it. ”
Feng Yang took out a sachet from his arms, because Li Jun had been living in the north and didn't know anything about rice, so he waved his hand directly and said: "Yuan Qing, you are a farmer giant, and you know these agricultural things best, you can take a look." ”
Yuan Zhan took the sachet from Feng Yang's hand, looked at it carefully, and said: "Your Majesty, this rice seed veteran has indeed seen it for the first time, although the Marquis of Annan has already conducted experiments in Lingnan, but whether this is suitable for the Jiangnan and Lianghu regions still needs to continue to be tested." ”
Li Jun nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then hurry up and arrange for the people from the Ministry of Agriculture to do it, Feng Qing, you can rest assured, if this kind of rice seed can really increase the yield, I will give you the Feng family as the Duke of Wu Guo, and rest with the country." ”
As soon as Li Jun's words fell, everyone in the entire hall suddenly took a breath of cold air, Guogong, except for the founding elders of the Tang Dynasty, there is this treatment, so far, except for one Xiao Wangzhi who has been crowned a prince after his death, there is no one, and those founding princes are not hereditary, and when they reach their sons, they are automatically demoted to marquis.
Feng Yang was overjoyed and said, "The minister knocks on Longen." ”
