Chapter 340

After Feng Gu was attached, Li Yuan set up eight prefectures under his jurisdiction, including Gao, Luo, Chun, Bai, Ya, Zhan, Lin, and Zhen, and appointed Feng Ang as the governor of Shangzhu and Gaozhou, and named Wu Guogong, and soon changed the title to Yue Guogong and Geng Guogong.

Although I don't know what Feng Gu thinks, in general, Feng Gu has made outstanding contributions to maintaining the unity of the country.

However, although Feng Gu belonged to the Tang Dynasty, he never went to Chang'an to meet the emperor, and his subordinates managed the land and population of the eight states in Lingnan, so there were naturally various rumors in the court. Many states and counties in the south also reported that Feng Gu had anti-intentions, and the reason why he did not enter the court was because he was afraid of being detained.

In the first year of Zhenguan, the new emperor Li Shimin ascended the throne for a year, this kind of rumor was very loud, so that Li Shimin, who felt that he was wise and martial, couldn't bear it, and ordered the general Lin Du and other soldiers from dozens of states in the river and Ling to go to the crusade.

Fortunately, he was finally stopped by Mingjing Wei Zheng, who advised: "The Central Plains has just been pacified, and the Lingnan road is far away, the terrain is treacherous, and there is a miasma plague, so you can't station a large army." Moreover, Feng An's rebellion has not yet been formed, so it is not appropriate to mobilize the army. ”

Li Shimin said unhappily: "There is an endless stream of people who sue Feng Ang for plotting rebellion, how can it be said that the situation of rebellion has not yet been formed?" ”

Wei Zheng replied: "If Feng Ang rebels, he will definitely divide his troops to occupy dangerous places and attack neighboring prefectures and counties. It has been a few years since he was accused of rebellion, and Feng's soldiers and horses have not yet left the country, so there is obviously no sign of rebellion. Since the state capitals suspected that the Feng family was plotting rebellion, His Majesty did not send envoys to appease him, and the Feng family was afraid of death, so he did not dare to come to the imperial court. If His Majesty had sent an envoy to show him sincerity, Feng would have been glad to be spared the calamity, so that he would have to obey without having to work the army. ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin felt reasonable, so he did not send troops, and sent Wei Shuhuan, a regular attendant, and Li Gongyan, a casual cavalry attendant, to Lingnan to express his condolences to Feng An. Feng Ang asked his son Feng Zhidai to return to the court with the envoys.

Actually, Feng Gu didn't mean how disrespectful he was to the Tang Emperor, how much he didn't want to go to Chang'an, he naturally had worries in his heart, but the biggest reason that hindered him from going to Chang'an was the other force in Lingnan, the slang chieftain Tan Dian, who was as famous as the Xian family.

Tan Dian has rebelled since the sixth year of Wude, and he has been fighting with Feng Gu for territory, with such a confidant in big trouble, how can Feng Gu come to Chang'an with peace of mind.

And the Lingnan chaos, Tan Dian and Feng Gu went to war, in addition to his own ambition, there is also an important reason to be counted on Li Yuan's head.

In the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Ning Changzhen, the governor of Qinzhou, paid tribute to Hepu Dazhu, but Li Yuan accepted it on the grounds that he was far away from labor. Ning Changzhen discussed with Tan Dian, Feng Xuan and others to oppose the Tang Dynasty, and Ning Changzhen opposed it because of his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan, the leaders of Gaozhou, Feng Xuan, Tan Dian, and Ning Daoming, the leaders of Yuezhou, united with the leaders of the nearby Xitong to besiege.

Ning Daoming was killed by the state people, and Ning Changzhen was killed one after another. As a result, Feng Xuan and Tandian were in chaos, and their friends turned against each other in order to seize the territory of Luozhou, and plundered each other. Due to the territory problem in the northern part of Gaozhou, the Lingnan chieftain Feng Ang and Tan Diandian attacked each other.

Several parties are fighting in full swing, if Li Shimin really wants to send troops, it will definitely be a mess, but fortunately, in the end, Li Shimin did not send troops, and sent people to pacify, Feng Xuan, Tan Dian, etc. surrendered together, and this rebellion ended.

But although Feng Zhidai arrived in Chang'an, he has not returned to Lingnan since then, and he has a feeling of proton, but after all, it is only his son who has arrived, and Lao Tzu has not yet come, Li Shimin has always been at ease in his heart. I don't know how many hundred horsemen and horses were sent to Lingnan to monitor and listen to all the movements of Feng Gu.

Fortunately, Feng Gu did not have any signs of rebellion, and after spending three or four years to reorganize and govern Lingnan, he finally came to Chang'an to meet Li Shimin before the Spring Festival.

Li Shimin can finally sleep peacefully, and he doesn't have to worry about changes in Lingnan all the time.

Feng Gu entered the court, and the welcoming ceremony was quite grand, Li Shimin personally went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and when the army of the Turks and Xue Yantuo returned, it was just like this.

Later, when he met Feng Gu, he also specially held a court meeting to show his attention, and nearly 1,000 officials of the high grade in Chang'an participated.

When greeting him outside the city, Li Shimin pulled Feng Gu to watch King Qin's breaking formation, Wu Yuanqing's grade failed to get to the front, and later the Great Dynasty would not be able to move forward.

It wasn't until the dinner party that Wu Yuanqing saw Feng Gu's appearance clearly, probably because of Mrs. Xian's slang bloodline, Feng Gu's height was not very tall, about one meter seven, compared to Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and them were much shorter.

But Feng Gu is not very tall, and he is about sixty years old, but he still looks strong, and his voice is also loud and full of energy.

When Wu Yuanqing toasted in the past, although he was actually taller, he still felt that he was the one who was looked down on.

After Wu Yuanqing introduced himself, Feng Gupo looked at him and was quite surprised: "Wu Shaoqing is really young, worthy of being a young hero."

"Geng Guogong praised falsely, you are the real hero, you were the real young hero when you were young, and your glorious deeds are like thunder." Wu Yuanqing said with a smile, he was not complimentary, he really thought so.

"Wu Shaoqing is too modest, at least the old man can't make gunpowder bombs now, but you let people bring them to Lingnan three years ago, so that the old man can gain a good knowledge. The sound was like thunder and shook the sky, and the explosion made half of the mountain disappear, and the old man and hundreds of his subordinates couldn't hear the sound clearly for many days." Feng Gu said with a teasing expression.

Why did he send gunpowder to him, and he also ignited it in front of him and blew up half of the mountain, Feng Gu knew it. It's nothing more than a deterrent and intimidation.

Wu Yuanqing, the manufacturer of gunpowder, must have made a huge contribution, maybe this idea of using intimidation was put forward by Wu Yuanqing. Now he looks modest and harmless, and it's strange that Feng Gu doesn't tease him.

"Hehe, foolish, that thing is purely foolish, it's not worth mentioning." Wu Yuanqing smiled shyly.

"It's all gadgets that are not worth mentioning" Wu Yuanqing continued to compliment: "It's you, the last days of the Sui Dynasty, falling apart, the current situation is turbulent, and the country is in turmoil; Although Emperor Taishang came into being, his influence and education have not yet been convincing, and the land of Lingnan and Baiyue has not yet belonged. You occupy a land of thousands of miles, how can you compare with the nine counties of Zhao Tuo in the Han Dynasty? You didn't set yourself up as a king, but chose to belong to the Tang Dynasty, which is even more admirable."

But in Feng Gu's opinion, this is a temptation and a counterattack.

"The old man's family has lived in the land of Baiyue for five generations, and the land under the jurisdiction of the governor of the state and county is only the surname of the old man, and I already have a child jade silk, and there are few riches in the world. I am often afraid that I will not be able to bear the burden and bring shame to my ancestors, how can I dare to follow Zhao Tuo's example and claim the king's side? “
