The tendencies in Yang Chong's words were very clear, Jiang Duo immediately agreed with Liu Hongji's return, after all, they were sworn brothers, much stronger than outsiders like Xie Yingdeng; Fang Xuanling and others did not object, Liu Hongji has been a comrade-in-arms and colleague for many years, and his ability is obvious to all. Huangfu Wuyi and Zheng Yuanshou were a little disappointed, but Yang Chong was at the cost of abolishing the Hexi Governor's Mansion, which he had started, and it was really inconvenient to raise any objections.

The people and officials outside the hall did not know their respective plans in the Ned Palace, but they couldn't help but rejoice when they heard that the southeast and Guangzhou were controlled by Chang'an, and the possibility of a war in Lingnan was greatly reduced. Chang'an County has announced that it will set off fireworks for three hours in the evening, as in previous years, and the whole city will celebrate together.

Feng Zhiji got the news and hurried from the post house to the Nede Hall to see Du Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and Rites; Feng Zhiji has been receiving the education of the Central Plains, and he still has a general understanding of historical things, the four governors of the south, Zhang Zhenzhou returned to Chang'an, Lin Shihong dedicated the land of Lingnan, and after Ning Changzhen's death, Qinzhou sat and waited for Chang'an's decision, so his father Feng Ang was too dazzling. In this case, as long as Chang'an verifies that Li Tang Yu and Yang Tong and his gang are in Lingnan, Feng Ang can't say it even if he has a hundred mouths.

What Feng Ang can do is to quickly search for these people, send them to Chang'an to clarify their suspicions, and make their position clear; If Feng Ang can't do this, he should immediately unite with the tribes in Lingnan and occupy a dangerous area to compete with Chang'an, and fight for as long as he can. What Feng Zhiji wanted to know most was where Wang Xiongdan's army had gone, if Wang Xiongtan had arrived in Qinzhou under the response of Ning Yuan, and Li Xianzhi's echo in Shi'an County, Feng Ang would have been completely undesirable.

Fortunately, Wang Xiongdan's army was still north of Lingnan, but Du Yan's next sentence made Feng Zhiji's heart sink again: "Chen Zhiluo's Lingnan camp was originally prepared to be repaired in Lianghu, and this time it also went to Lingnan with Han Shige's army, and it happened to return home; In addition, the imperial court ordered Liu Xun to go to Lingbiao to assist Lord Feng Ang in pacifying Lingnan. ”

Feng Zhiji is familiar with the geography and humanities of Lingnan, and naturally knows that Chen Zhiluo is a wealthy family in Lingnan, and his hometown is Xin'an County in the west and northwest of Guangzhou; Guangzhou and Xinzhou are actually Nanhai Counties, and if Chen Zhiluo and Liu Xun take Xin'an County, then it means that all the plains outside the mountains will fall into the hands of Chang'an. When Liu Xun was serving as Xiao Miao's Huangmen squire, he had lobbied more than 50 cottages to return to Shun in the southern mountainous areas of Xin'an County, and now with the assistance of Chen Zhiluo and Han Shige, I am afraid that the results of the war will be even greater; Once the Great Sui entered Lingnan from the east, it formed a flanking attack with Wang Xiongdan's army.

Feng Zhiqiang said with a smile: "It's so good, I've always been worried about my father's loneliness in Lingnan, it's rare for the court to make such a big determination, and Lingnan has been as safe as a rock since then." ”

Du Yan said with a smile: "King Yue once said, it is all the credit of Ling Zunxin in the imperial court, King Yue actually wants to have a good time with Ling Zun, but unfortunately the situation in the north has not calmed down, and King Yue is lacking in skills." I estimate that as soon as the Turkic matter is over, King Yue will leave for the south, and then Lord Feng will be the same as Chen Zhiluo, and he will return to his hometown. ”

Feng Zhiji heard Du Yan's voice, if the Feng family returns to Chang'an now, there is no need to worry about prosperity and wealth, if it is a year or two late, and when Yang Chong personally goes to the south to take charge, then it is difficult to say what the situation in Lingnan is. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be a return to the hometown, it would be good not to be sacrificed to the flag, Feng Zhiji said in a low voice: "My father and son will never be half-hearted about the Great Sui and Chang'an, and I hope that Lord Shangshu will speak well in front of King Yue." ”

Du Yan's smile remained unchanged and said: "I can understand your feelings, don't worry, I will protect you in front of King Yue." ”

The two were talking harmoniously, and the officials came in to inform them that the Ned Hall had begun to take their seats, and when the two came to the outside of the hall, they found that there was a crowd of people, but no one rushed into the main hall, and most of them were talking in twos and threes; Feng Zhiji followed Du Yan to a group of people in the Ministry of Rites, and saw Chu Jing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and others talking about Li Shimin's death. Chu Jing is an old minister who defected to Yang Chong in Qinghai, and he was originally a celebrity, so even in the face of his top boss Du Yan, he still has a humble and arrogant attitude.

Xu Jingzong, a member of the staff, was much more well-behaved, and followed Chu Jing's words: "No matter how talented Li Shimin is, he is inferior to King Yue in terms of temperament, and King Yue has long seen that Li Shimin is a talent in the world, but he has never thought about what to do with him secretly, otherwise Li Shimin will die halfway." Since Li Shimin understands this truth, assassination is not what he should do, and the eldest husband died in Ma Ge, showing his true heroic qualities. ”

Chu Jing shook his head and said: "Li Shimin's mind has changed, his kind of person, who likes to carry the responsibility on his back, came to Chang'an to pursue what he was right and wrong, and I am afraid that the gain or loss of reputation will no longer be extravagant." No one has ever known about him and Xing Ruyan, and I am afraid that in the last few days, Li Shimin wants countless people to know that he is not a complete failure; It's like a game, it's just a matter of winning and losing. ”

Du Yan smiled secretly, Chu Jing still has pride, he sees some things more thoroughly than himself, when many people are worried, Chu Jing can see that it is a game in Li Shimin's heart, it is not simple. Du Yan smiled slightly and said: "What Lord Chu said is that Lingnan and Mobei are far away, and the news cannot be connected, Li Shimin planned and cooperated in Chang'an according to his own judgment, and everything he did was already his best effort, and he couldn't take care of the rest." ”

Everyone nodded, Du Yan is Yang Chong's friend, and he also participates in many of Yang Chong's confidential affairs, Li Shimin's actions are indeed so, he just wants to solve Yang Chong, create chaos in Chang'an, and buy time for Lingnan. It's a pity that his fate is not good, everything is in vain, and he finally dies. Feng Zhiji naturally heard Du Yan's warning, the matter in Lingnan is not over yet, there must be a group of people who are engaged in conspiracy in Lingnan.

When the banquet began, Du Yan and Feng Zhiji walked into the venue together, each seated, Yu Xuan announced two rewards on behalf of Yang Chong, one was for Feng An, Tuli and other semi-divided Haoqiang, and one was for Liu Heimin, Zhang Zhenzhou, Liu Hongji, Xifeng Changshan and other generals in the town, among which the most prominent were Zhang Zhenzhou and Feng An. Zhang Zhenzhou suddenly entered the political affairs hall, and Feng Ang was the head of the march on Lingnan West Road, and he was rewarded with countless things.

Feng Zhiji himself was appointed as a general of the Wucai, and the process of his assassination by those prisoners was said to be the consequence of Feng Zhiji's support for the unification of Lingnan; Feng Zhiji secretly complained, if such a thing spread to Lingnan, what would his father Feng Ang think, he would think that he was not seeking benefits for the Feng family in Chang'an, but preparing for his future control of Lingnan.
