Above the court, the emperor sat above, looked at the courtiers below, and asked about the departure of the Northern Yan delegation from Beijing today.

"Back to Your Majesty, I left early in the morning, it was sent by the minister and the household servant Lang Gao, and the person has already left." The Ministry of Rites stood up and said.

"Oh, have you seen Qi Cheng'an?" The emperor asked.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites shook his head: "I haven't seen it, it's the guards around him who came out to meet him." ”

Hearing this, the ministers present discussed and made some noises.

"Okay, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it." The emperor didn't care about Qi Cheng'an's impolite behavior, "Qi Cheng'an has always been rude, such a plague god has been in my Kyoto for so long, just send it away, there is no need to be strict with these etiquette." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said, "Beiyan is a barbarian land, and his style of acting has always been rough, even if he is the prince of a country, his behavior is not on the stage, so Your Majesty must not care." ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded, he liked to hear what the Ministry of Rites said.

"Anything else?" After talking about some trivial matters, the emperor prepared to retire from the court.

"Back to my father, please play if you have something to do!"

Just as the emperor was about to get up and leave, Feng Chengyi, who had been silent, suddenly stood up.

The princes next to him glanced at him and didn't understand what he was talking about.

Even the emperor was surprised and surprised, looked at Feng Chengyi and said, "What's the matter with the prince." ”

Feng Chengyi stood there, bent over, and said word by word: "Erchen wants to ask Emperor Song to send troops to attack Beiyan!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they shocked the four seats.

Even the emperor thought that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask Feng Chengyi again: "Prince, what did you just say?" ”

"Erchen said, please send troops to attack Beiyan!" Feng Chengyi is now in the same place, and he said it again without being humble or arrogant.

"Why?" The emperor heard clearly, but he was not in a hurry, and sat on the dragon chair and leaned on it, wanting to listen carefully.

"First of all, the Northern Yan Mission sent me to be magnanimous, behaved rudely, acted casually and perversely during my court, and deliberately provoked many times at royal banquets! Secondly, recently, the second prince of the Beiyan royal family and the current queen are planning to seize the power of Qi Cheng'an and abolish his crown prince. ”

"Don't, Your Majesty!" As soon as Feng Chengyi finished speaking, some of the courtiers stood up and objected, "Your Majesty, although the prince is right, Beiyan is currently in civil strife, but they are strong and strong, but they have not been affected by the civil strife at all." ”

"yes." Someone next to him stood up again, "Your Majesty, we have only heard about the infighting in Beiyan, and there is no definite news yet." The second prince and the queen just wanted to take advantage of the danger of Qi Cheng'an because they were not there, they had not fought Qi Cheng'an for many years, and now Qi Cheng'an has embarked on the journey back again, and it is uncertain how this infighting will end. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, maybe it's the thunder and the rain, and besides, Qi Cheng'an is already on his way back to Beiyan, if we send troops at this time, it will definitely attract his attention!"

"What about getting noticed!" Feng Chengyi looked coldly at the minister who refuted him, "There are only a few people in Qi Cheng'an's mission, it's a big deal to capture them all and imprison them or kill them!" Besides, Qi Cheng'an is treacherous and cunning, if we are captured, Beiyan will be in turmoil, and we will be better able to do it. ”

"But if this is the case, even if Qi Cheng'an is caught, but when the news spreads, will the people of the world ......" someone hesitated.

"What can be done?" Feng Chengyi said coldly, "If Qi Cheng'an is caught, then Beiyan will not be on the ground!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, think about it, don't be impulsive!" The courtiers thought that Feng Chengyi was jealous of Qi Cheng'an's trick on him and almost lost the position of the crown prince, so he dissuaded him, "If Beiyan is so easy to attack, we will not hesitate and block." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong? Usually I act steadily, why is this idea so sudden and impulsive today? Feng Chengjun looked at Feng Chengyi opposite, noticed that something was wrong, and also said sarcastically.

"This palace is just observing the situation and preemptively!"

"That's it!" Just when everyone was arguing, the emperor suddenly spoke, and the hall fell silent.

"Say it slowly one by one, what is the opinion of the secretaries?"

"Father, the son does not agree with His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal." Feng Chengjun stood up and said, "It's winter soon, the weather in Beiyan is cold, and the river will freeze in winter, and we attack at this time, which is not conducive to our victory." ”

"yes." Someone next to him chimed in.

"Prince, was that your reason just now?" The emperor couldn't see the joy and anger on his face, and he couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed, and which faction he supported, so he just looked at Feng Chengyi and asked.

"Yes!" Feng Chengyi was angry in his heart, so he could only nod.

"Okay, that's all for today's discussion, let's retreat." The emperor didn't say anything, and went away.

"But the father ......," Feng Chengyi still wanted to argue.

"I said, retreat!" The Emperor suddenly shouted.

"......" Feng Chengyi couldn't refute him again, so he could only be silent.

On the way out of the palace, Feng Chengjun stopped Feng Chengyi and secretly sarcastically said a few times, Feng Chengyi was full of concern and admired the late mother and daughter, and ignored him.

When he was about to leave the palace gate, the chief manager next to the emperor chased him out and said that the emperor was going to summon the crown prince.

Feng Chengyi knew that it was probably just now, he nodded, and followed the chief manager to the main hall of the criticism.

"Father." Feng Chengyi went in and saluted.

"To be honest, I'm surprised that you asked me to play today." The emperor turned to look at him, "Say, is there something wrong, or how did Qi Cheng'an offend you." ”

"Isn't it offended to hurt me?" Feng Chengyi said.

"You didn't have a problem with that matter when I said it was suppressed, so you couldn't have turned back so quickly." Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, the emperor didn't believe Feng Chengyi's excuse at all.

"......" helplessly, Feng Chengyi knew that the matter could not be concealed in the end, so he could only tell the matter from beginning to end.

"What?" When he heard that Qi Cheng'an had kidnapped the crown princess and the child, the emperor frowned.

"I was negligent last night." Feng Chengyi is still blaming himself.

"This Northern Yan thief is really bold!" The emperor snorted coldly, and was also a little angry, "Then have you inquired about their safety?" ”

"This is a matter of the two countries, no matter how crazy Qi Cheng'an is, he doesn't dare to provoke a war between the two countries easily, but there is no news with the children tonight, I am worried that they will ......"

"Alright, I know, don't worry, I'll tell the guards to track their tracks." The emperor, who knew the whole story, was no longer angry at Feng Chengyi's impulsiveness, but comforted, "You have a special identity, don't mention the topic of attacking Beiyan in the main hall in the future, let's think of other ways!" ”
