After seeing Tang Xizong stop, Tian Lingzi hurriedly handed over the towel and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhongwu has arrived!" ”

Tang Xizong took the towel and wiped his forehead, looked at Lin Feng who was standing on the side, and said with a laugh: "Haha, the Marquis of Zhongwu is here!" ”

Lin Feng hurriedly bowed his hand: "Shannan Dao Festival Envoy, Zhongwu Marquis Lin Feng see the emperor!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Tang Xizong waved his hand, took a cup of tea from the side and drank it in one gulp, and then said to Lin Feng: "It's really time for Aiqing to come, come, accompany me to play two games!" ”

After listening to this, Lin Feng looked at Li Xiaofeng beside him helplessly, and nodded: "Okay!" ”

An hour later, Lin Feng and Tang Xizong sat on the grass on the side, panting and praised: "I haven't seen you for half a year, the emperor's ball skills can be described as making rapid progress, and they are comparable to ordinary people!" ”

Tang Xizong lay down directly on the grass, closed his eyes and smiled: "It's more interesting to play with Aiqing, no one else is my opponent!" ”

Lin Feng hurriedly complimented Tang Xizong's words: "If the emperor hadn't let his subordinates just now, how could his subordinates have a draw with the emperor!" ”

Tang Xizong let out a long breath, sat up, stretched out his finger and pointed at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "Aiqing, Aiqing!" Where did I let you just now, obviously you let me! You can't see it when I do! ”

Lin Feng hurriedly shook his head and denied: "No, no, absolutely nothing!" How can His Majesty compare to the emperor's amazing ball skills! The emperor praised it falsely, and his subordinates are ashamed! ”

Tang Xizong didn't say anything more, just smiled with satisfaction, turned his head to Tian Lingzi on the side and said, "Lord Tian, let the imperial dining room make more delicious food at noon, I want to feast on the Marquis of Zhongwu!" ”

Lin Feng hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

At the noon banquet, Tang Xizong pointed at Li Xiaofeng and asked Lin Feng: "Aiqing, is this Li Xiaofeng, the eldest son of the emperor's uncle?" ”

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Weichen has seen the emperor!" The emperor is really sharp-eyed! ”

After listening to this, Tang Xizong played with the wine glass in his hand and said softly: "Last time, I only rewarded Princess Xuerou, and today I will make up for you!" I'll make you a third-class marquis.,What's it called?。。。 I remember that the last time Zhongwu Hou wrote to ask for merit, I mentioned you, and you also made great achievements in quelling the Niugui Rebellion, so you are called Zhan Wuhou! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" After Li Xiaofeng received the reward, he thanked the reward with a smile.

Tang Xizong waved his hand to signal Li Xiaofeng to return to his position, and then asked: "Marquis Zhongwu, someone in the Imperial History Observatory wrote that you recruited troops without permission, and your intentions are unknown. Is there such a thing? ”

After listening to this, Lin Feng chuckled in his heart, but there was still no change on the surface, and he slowly got up and replied: "Your Majesty, let your ministers be careful and clear!" The Great Qi rebel general Zhu Wen led tens of thousands of horses to occupy the two states of Deng and Tang, and the momentum was violent, and there was still an intention to invade the two states of Jingxiang, and my Shannan Province had just experienced the Niugui Rebellion, and the troops were still insufficient to protect themselves, so his subordinates had to recruit troops to go to the enemy first, and then report to the imperial court! This matter is a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, please ask the emperor to surrender his guilt! ”

Lin Feng paused for a moment and then explained: "A few days ago, Zheng Jin, the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, invited me to send troops to Fengzhou, cooperate with him to contain the rebels of Daqi, and want to break through Chang'an City one day and welcome the saint back to Kyoto!" I hope the emperor will see it! ”

After hearing this, Tang Xizong first smiled, and then said: "Haha, what is Aiqing's crime? Aiqing is passionate about serving the country, serving the country and the people, and being selfless, what is the crime? I just want to make sure if there is such a thing, and it seems that I have to think about how to reward Aiqing again! ”

Lin Feng hurriedly excused himself: "No, no!" His Majesty does not ask for a reward, but only hopes that the emperor will see it and return the innocence of the minister! ”

"Don't worry! I don't blame you! Tang Xizong then turned his head to look at Tian Lingzi: "Lord Tian, the Marquis of Zhongwu has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and he has taken the lead in sending troops to fight against the rebels among the envoys of various festivals, how do you say I should reward the Marquis of Zhongwu this time?" ”

Tian Lingzi glanced at Lin Feng, turned his head and said to Tang Xizong: "Your Majesty, the marquis is young and promising, but now he is in a high position, a first-class marquis, and he also serves as the envoy of Shannan Province, which is rare since ancient times!" As for the reward, your majesty, you are really embarrassed! For the Marquis of Zhongwu now, the reward is really hard to say! ”

After listening to this, Tang Xizong nodded thoughtfully, looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "Hehe, Aiqing, what reward do you want, you say!" I can satisfy you, absolutely satisfy you! ”

Lin Feng shook his head and replied, "Thank you, Emperor!" However, the subordinates feel that they have no merit, and the so-called merit is not rewarded, so the subordinates should not have any reward! ”

After hearing this, Tang Xizong praised: "If I have a few more courtiers like Aiqing, why worry that the yellow thief will not be driven away, and the Great Qi will not be destroyed!" But as the Son of Heaven, rewards and punishments must be clear! In this way, Aiqing, if you think of what reward you want, you can tell Lord Tian, I will let Lord Tian try to satisfy you as much as possible! ”

After listening, Lin Feng looked at Tian Lingzi opposite, nodded and thanked, "Thank you, Emperor!" Saying that, he picked up a glass of wine and said to Tang Xizong: "Your Majesty, I respect you!" ”

"Good, good! Come on, do it! Saying that, Tang Xizong picked up the cup and drank it.

After the luncheon, Tang Xizong went to take a lunch break, Tian Lingzi sent Lin Feng out of the palace, on the way Lin Feng and Tian Lingzi walked in front, Lin Feng didn't look at Tian Lingzi, and said: "Lord Tian, I received the gift I gave last time, thank you here!" This time, I brought a million taels of silver, and some other gifts, and I will arrange for someone to deliver them to the house when I go back! ”

Tian Lingzi smiled slightly: "Hehe, Hou Ye is really a trustworthy person!" ”

At the gate of the palace, Lin Feng stopped and asked Li Xiaofeng and Chen Qi to wait outside the palace, Lin Feng looked at no one around before he said to Tian Lingzi: "Lord Tian, there is something to ask for below, and I hope that Lord Tian can fulfill it!" ”

Tian Lingzi replied with a smile: "When did Master Hou be so polite, if there is anything you need Tian's help, just say it!" ”

Then Lin Feng briefly said that he wanted to open a money bank in Jiannan Province or even the whole country, and mentioned it by the way at the end: "Lord Tian, I have half of the dividends in Chenlong Money Village, but Lord Tian, you also know that my family's big business is big and expensive, so if this matter can be done, I will give up 20% of the dividends to Lord Tian!" ”

After hearing this, Tian Lingzi thought for a while before raising his head and said: "This matter is extraordinary, and I am not sure, so I can only discuss it with Lord Akiba, but if it is only opened in Jiannan Road, it will be much easier!" Now that the financial power of Jiannan Province is actually under the management of the household department, on Lord Ye's side, I can still speak! And according to what you said, this money bank is still beneficial to the country and the people, Lord Ye should not refute the face of the two of us! ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, that's it!" Lord Tian, everyone makes money, right? ”

Tian Lingzi laughed cunningly: "It's still the blessing of the Hou Ye!" ”

"Each other! Lord Tian is humble! In the next farewell! Lin Feng smiled and said goodbye.

Tian Lingzi also replied: "Master Hou go slowly!" With the news, I will inform Hou Ye as soon as possible! ”
