Zhenguan paid tribute to the court meeting in the second year, Bai Fan didn't want to participate, how good it was to accompany his daughter-in-law at home, but according to the rules, this kind of court meeting, officials above the fourth grade, dukes, and marquis in Beijing had to participate, and they had to sacrifice to heaven afterwards, so Bai Fan also found a corner in the court to doze off.

Everyone knows that Lantian Hou likes to be carefree, so no one goes to participate in him for such trivial things anymore.

"Kannai Province Special Envoy Meets ......"

"Hebei Provincial Special Envoy Meets ......"

……

"Lingnan Provincial Special Envoy Meets ......"

With the shouts of the attendants, the tributary envoys from all over the country entered the Taiji Hall to pay homage to the emperor, and presented the specialties and treasures of various places.

Bai Fan was squinting and dozing off, but was suddenly interrupted by a loud shout.

"Bold, is Lingnan Dao going to rebel? New Year's tribute, just such a cart of fruit? Is this humiliating Your Majesty? Wei Zheng scolded the special envoy of Lingnan Dao.

Li Er on the dragon chair also has a bad complexion, Lingnan has been in a state of dissociation, and the relationship between Feng Ang and the imperial court is also relatively vague, because Lingnan is located in Tiannan, so the hand of the imperial court can't reach over, and Lingnan is basically uncontrollable.

When the Tang Dynasty was first established, Feng Ang of Lingnan was named the Shangzhu State, the Governor of Gaozhou, and the Duke of Wu Guo, and later when Li Er took the throne, he changed the title of Yue Guogong, thinking that he was generous enough to make the other party grateful, who knew that this time he was so presumptuous, and sent a tributary envoy to only bring a cart of fruit?

The messenger knelt down at that time and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty forgive me, Lingnan is far away, and the chief manager sent a team of us to escort ten carts of special products, but the road is long and slippery, and it is already deep winter in the north, so we have suffered heavy losses all the way to Chang'an, and now we are left with this cart of things that we are desperately protecting!" ”

Li Er groaned: "Oh, since that's the case, it's understandable, forget it!" ”

"Your Majesty, although Lingnan is located in a remote area, but there has always been rich land and vast resources, Feng Ang just paid tribute to ten carts of specialties, this is contempt for Your Majesty, the minister asks Your Majesty to write back to reprimand, punish his crimes, and set the record straight!" Wei Zheng said loudly.

The messenger cried and said: "No, no, Your Majesty, although Lingnan is rich, but there are many barbarians and savages, who do not obey education, and the mountains and forests are dense and difficult to operate, in fact, the people there are very lonely, it is not that our chief manager Chaohe's heart is insincere, it is really unfavorable for us to do things, please forgive your Majesty." ”

At this time, another imperial historian came out and said: "Your Majesty, although Lingnan Feng Ang has returned to our dynasty, but he has never respected the Son of Heaven, does not enter the court, and Lingnan is located in a remote area, all of which are managed by Feng An, Feng Ang said that it is the chief manager, in fact, his style is no different from the soil emperor, today he dares to despise the court, he will dare to establish himself as a king in the future, please Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde shouted: "He dares? Your Majesty, the last general asks for an elite army to capture Feng Ang for Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty, the last general asks for his life!"

All the generals asked for their lives!

The words of this imperial historian are precisely said in Li Er's sore spot, Feng Ang has not listened to the tune or listened to the announcement since Wude descended to the Tang Dynasty in the fifth year, just accepting the seal of the imperial court, although he did not establish himself as the king, but he did not have the slightest sincerity of submission, this matter has always been Li Er's heart disease, if Lingnan can be leveled, it is really excellent.

"Your Majesty, although Feng An, the Duke of Yueguo, is a little contemptuous in paying tribute this time, but he is not a big mistake, and he has made great contributions to the suppression of Lingnan for the imperial court, how can I rely on a speculation to send troops?" Fang Xuanling stopped.

Wei Zheng grabbed it and mocked: "What has he Feng Ang done all these years, Lord Fang, don't you know how many times have he executed the imperial court decree?" How many officials sent by the imperial court were beaten back by him? What is the difference between such an act and self-determination, even though it does not establish itself as king? ”

Du Ruhui also opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty was initially decided, the national strength was not good, and in recent years, there have been military disasters every year. ”

"Okay, this matter will be postponed and discussed later, and we will talk about it after the court meeting!" Li Er waved his hand.

Bai Fan was puzzled, did these people just want to fight like this?

After the Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Er summoned his confidants to the Council Hall to discuss the pacification of Lingnan, and Bai Fan was among them.

"Xuan Ling, can't Lingnan really fight?" Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty, although the minister also knows that Feng Ang sits in the name of the prince of the country, and what he does is the king's overlord, but our current national strength can't defeat Lingnan at all, and the strong army, the little vitality that Datang has just recovered will also be exhausted, and the national strength will return to Wude for five years, if the grassland barbarians come again, we will be in danger!" Fang Xuanling sincerely persuaded.

"Pharmacist, how many people and horses can you take Lingnan Dao?"

Li Jing was already frowning and pondering, and when he saw the emperor asking, he came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Lingnan is located in a remote area, with high mountains and dense forests, and Feng Ang has been operating there for many years, it is said that there are 100,000 people with armor, and the old ministers are incompetent, and there are no 200,000 soldiers, so they can't take it down at all." ”

Li Er was silent, it seems that there is no ten years that he can't take it.

Bai Fan, who was sitting at the end, opened his mouth and asked, "Why do you have to attack Lingnan?" What is the crime of Feng An, the Duke of Yueguo? ”

Wei Zheng retorted: "Disrespecting the Son of Heaven, having the name of surrender but not the fact of surrender, isn't it a big crime to divide one side like this?" ”

"It's ridiculous, according to what you say, what do you want people to do to really surrender to the Tang Dynasty? Like Liang Luoren, he killed his brother who had been entrenched for many years, and then he succumbed to a small position in Chang'an? Completely dedicate your own territory? Bai Fan sneered.

"Bold! How dare you make such a rebellious statement? Wei Zheng shouted angrily.

"How can Feng Ang be comparable to Liang Luoren? Now that he has surrendered and surrendered, and the court has generously named him the prince of the country, he should show his sincerity, he will implement our decrees, and he must also accept the supervision officials we send, otherwise he alone will have the final say in the appointment and promotion of any local officials, and this is not considered to be self-established as a king?

So what is his surrender? Fake surrender? Or did you deceive Datang with no swords? The eldest grandson Wuji patiently relieved Bai Fan.

"No, how can that be counted?

Lingnan Feng An, he has been entrenched in Lingnan since the time of the Sui Dynasty, if he wants to rebel, why not take advantage of the troubled times to become king? Since he knows that the Tang Dynasty's troops can't reach Lingnan, wouldn't it be more magnificent to be called king or emperor than a prince? At the very least, people can justifiably control everything.

What is the rebellion now? At most, he is a traitor, or the rebel referred to by Qianfu, Feng An, as the overlord of one party, will not be so unwise.

We always use our opinions to demand from others, don't you see that Feng An's surrender is different from others?

The surrender of others was forced to surrender by the military might of the Tang Dynasty, which can be called my Datang letting him go and recovering it peacefully.

But Feng Ang is different, he has a wide range of soldiers, and he is voluntarily loyal. originally belonged to the former Sui courtiers, and he was the overlord of one side, in order not to be infamous and protect the people and surrender, the court was good, and not much appeasement and praise were added, but wanton suspicion? Still want to deprive others of their rights? Who else will there be no complaints in your heart? ”
