In Lingnan, nothing is inseparable from the Feng family.

The Feng family is a first-class wealthy family, and the ancestor was originally a descendant of Feng Hong, the monarch of Northern Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Feng Hong could not bear to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he fled to Goguryeo and sent his son Feng Ye to lead 300 people across the sea to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the fall of the Northern Yan, Feng Ye remained in Gaozhou. Feng Ye's grandson, Feng Rongshi, served as the assassin of Liangluo Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty. Feng Rong's son, Feng Bao, married Mrs. Xian, the daughter of the Yue clan surnamed Xijia in Gaoliang, Lingnan, and thus became the leader of the Yue tribe in the Gaoliang area, and the Southern Liang court appointed him as the Taishou of Gaoliang. Feng Bao and Mrs. Xian had a son, Feng Servant Guan to Shilong Taishou, and the son was Feng An......

In the fourth year of Tang Wude, Li Jing crossed the Nanling Ridge, arrived in Guizhou, and sent people to part ways to appease him. The big leaders Feng An, Li Guangdu, and Ning Changzhen all sent their children to ask for a meeting, expressing their submission, and Li Jing was awarded official titles. So it went down to 96 states, and the income was more than 600,000 households.

In the first year of Zhenguan, in order to show his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, Feng Ang took the initiative to send his eldest son Feng Zhidai to Chang'an to serve Li Shimin.

However, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were always unhappy with the king of Lingnan, "Feng An. Because although this guy has ostensibly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and maintained the unity of the Tang Dynasty, he has not made any moves to support the army and respect himself in recent years, but he still grasps the financial and military affairs of Lingnan in his hands, which is also a big shame for the wise and martial Li Shimin. It also led to the fact that after Feng An's death in the land of Lingnan, some ambitious people began to make trouble, which made the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty very uncomfortable.

In the post station, Li Dongsheng's footsteps sounded at the door of his room, and a person walked in quickly. He was about thirty years old, with a somewhat dark complexion and a thin body, looking like a peasant, but he was gorgeously dressed, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

As soon as he entered the room, he hurriedly saluted Li Dongsheng, who was in the main seat: "In Xia Feng Zhiyu, I have seen Master Li. ”

As soon as Li Dongsheng heard this name, he immediately glanced at him a few times, not that he was too famous but that his grandson was too famous, it was Gao Lishi next to Emperor Tang Ming.

Li Dongsheng stood up and said, "No courtesy, Feng Gongzi was invited to come from afar, please take a seat!" "Feng Ang has thirty sons, Feng Zhiyu is only one of them, and he has no official position, so Li Dongsheng has no choice but to call him a son.

Feng Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Dongsheng to be so polite, now the pressure on the Feng family is too great, someone has already reported his father for rebellion, and it just so happens that Li Jing, as the governor of Jiangnan Province, brought the Twelve Guards Army to the south, who knows if it is for his own family?

"Don't dare, I don't know what Lord Li summoned me for?" No matter what, Feng Zhiyu lowered his posture first.

The Feng family is the de facto controller of Lingnan, and now they are on the cusp, if Li Dongsheng is provoked and Li Jing is given an excuse to attack, then his own Lao Tzu will definitely eat himself.

Daniel Zhang stood beside Li Dongsheng, his eyes staring directly at Feng Zhiyu, since the assassination, he looked at everyone with this expression, and he was afraid that there would be another accident.

Feng Zhiyu was furious when he was seen, and said in his heart, I haven't seen you again, as for using the eyes of this father-killing enemy? But if there is something going on today, don't make more trouble.

Li Dongsheng stepped forward with a smile and took Feng Zhiyu's hand and said: "Yue Guogong returned to the imperial court that day, and saved Lingnan from the scourge of swords, and the people of Lingnan all admire it. ”

Feng Zhiyu was panicked, and he would ask for something, what if he made some excessive requests: "Don't dare, I'm just a small person, Master Li has something to say." "Now someone has reported that the Feng family is arrogant and domineering in Lingnan, although he is also a gentleman, but he must not be able to show it at this juncture.

Today, he just wants to pretend to be a country tyrant with a lot of money, no matter how provocative Li Dongsheng is, he must hold back his temperament and not turn over the bubbles. This is the sorrow of the local tyrants, who have no military power, and are at the mercy of others.

Feng Zhiyu had a very good attitude, his posture was very low, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Feng Zhiyu said: "I hit it off with Lord Li today, I brought some Lingnan specialties to my lord, and I hope that my lord will not dislike it." ”

Taking money to pave the way is the Feng family's forte, Lingnan's finances are all under the control of the Feng family, and the money is not like a sea of gold and silver. So the past few years have been peaceful.

However, for Li Dongsheng, money is really not important, he has countless ways to turn stones into gold in later generations in his mind, how can he care about Feng Zhiyu's little gifts, for him, money is the most useless thing.

So when Feng Zhiying finished speaking, when he looked at Li Dongsheng's face, he found that he didn't have the excitement and smile he imagined at all, and his best method of giving money actually failed? This Master Li won't think that what he sent is really a local product of Lingnan, right?

Feng Zhiyu was a little depressed, they are all people in the officialdom, and they can't directly say that what I gave me are treasures worth a thousand gold, my lord, you must be satisfied when you see it. I can only laugh awkwardly.

Li Dongsheng picked up the teapot on the table and personally poured a cup of tea for Feng Zhiyu.

Feng Zhiyu felt flattered, and quickly got up and raised his glass with both hands: "Lord Xie!" ”

Li Dongsheng smiled and raised his glass: "Try the new tea invented by this official, see if it suits your taste!" ”

Feng Zhiyu listened to the nervousness a little, took a sip of tea and said: "This tea is elegant and timeless, and it will be fragrant after drinking, the adult is really a gentleman, and this tea is also the so-called gentleman's tea!" ”

Li Dongsheng listened to his sycophancy, and said with a slight smile: "The Feng family has guarded Lingnan for generations, whoever comes here has to worship your dock, and it is also a tyrant in Lingnan, and this official is now the head of the Tea Division, I wonder if the Feng family can support my work?" ”

Feng Zhiyu listened to the first half of Li Dongsheng's words, and was half frightened to death, the word Lingnan Yiba is simply a lifeline for the Feng family, and now the Feng family is most afraid of hearing someone say how powerful the Feng family is in Lingnan, how powerful it is, if it is heard by the emperor, then it will be okay!!

However, Feng Zhiyu also listened to the turning point in the back, and he hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be a compliment from Lord Li, but my family still has some connections in Lingnan, if your adult has any requirements, please just order directly, our Feng family will resolutely implement it and set an example!" ”

Before coming, his father discussed with him, Li Dongsheng as a new star in the court officialdom, the most important thing now is his political achievements, he pulled down the three scholars in Jiangnan in Hangzhou, which shows that the emperor and Li Dongsheng are bound to measure this land, and now he came to Lingnan with bloody achievements, and Li Jing's army is backed by him, and he must not touch this mold in Lingnan, he wants to measure the land, although he wants to measure the land, anyway, there is so much land, and the tax is not paid by his Feng family alone.
