After thinking for a long time, Feng An, the head of the Feng family in Lingnan, agreed to the request of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and expressed his willingness to send his son Feng Zhidai to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, in accordance with the request of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year and obey the recruitment of troops from the Tang Dynasty.

After that, Feng Ang and Li Gong, the envoy of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, had a very happy conversation.

A few days later, in Feng An's study.

Feng Ang sat on the Huanghuali high-backed chair behind the bookcase, and Feng An's son, Feng Zhidai, walked into the study and bid farewell to Feng An.

Feng Ang slowly walked in front of Feng Zhidai, gently patted Feng Zhidai's shoulder and said, "Zhidai, this is going to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, you are called an official, but you are actually a hostage." My father hopes that after you arrive in Chang'an, you will be cautious everywhere and don't cause trouble. ”

Feng Zhidai bowed to Feng Ang and said, "Please rest assured, father, I will strictly follow my father's teachings and not give birth to right and wrong." ”

Feng Ang looked at his son Feng Zhidai with doting on his face, and Feng Ang was still very satisfied with Feng Zhidai.

Feng Zhidai is 20 years old this year, with a calm personality, brave and strategic, able to convince the public, good at soothing people's hearts, and has won the support of Lingnan generals and soldiers, and Lingnan officials at all levels and tribal leaders are also very willing to obey Feng Zhidai's orders, and think that Feng Zhidai is proud to do things.

Feng Zhidai also looked at his father. He asked his father Feng Ang the question in his heart: "Father, now there is a Turkic enemy in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and there are more than 200,000 elites in the south, and because of many years of tuntian, without training, they have lost their combat effectiveness. Now even if my Lingnan Feng family does not comply with the requirements of the Tang Emperor, the Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with my Lingnan Feng family. I don't understand, why did my father agree to the request of the Tang Emperor to let me go to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, as a hostage, and promised him to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year and obey the recruitment of troops from the Tang Dynasty? ”

Feng Ang looked at Feng Zhidai, who was puzzled, and said slowly, "Zhidai." The most important thing for a person, especially the person in charge of a family, is to judge the situation. I think that at the age of eighty-eight, your great-grandmother, Mrs. Qian Guo, personally put on armor and held a sword, led all the officials of my six Lingnan prefectures, and the leaders of all ethnic groups and tribes in Lingnan to welcome the envoy of Emperor Wen of Sui, entered Lingnan, and took the initiative to present the map of the mountains and rivers of the six states of Lingnan to Emperor Wen of Sui to show her submission, because at that time, after the Great Sui destroyed the Southern Chen, the trend of the Great Sui dominating the world had been formed, and the delusional confrontation with the Great Sui. There is only one way to perish, and the war starts, which will bring fatal damage to my Lingnan Feng family and the people of Lingnan.

Now Datang has dominated the world and has won the support of the people all over the world. If there were troubled times, the heroes were divided, and there were endless disputes, everyone would allow my Lingnan Feng family to rule in Lingnan and be their own soil emperor, but now the Tang Dynasty has ruled the world. Today's Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Shimin is another generation of heroes, and he will never let my Lingnan Feng family exist in Lingnan as a country within a country. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, my Lingnan Feng family had reached its peak, flourishing and declining. When the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows, and my Lingnan Feng family now thinks about it again, and it is the same as before, and it alone and completely controls the entire Lingnan. That's the whole situation, and the whole Datang won't allow it.

This time, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin in the form of a letter, while acknowledging the control of the Lingnan Feng family over the Lingnan region. I made some requests to my Lingnan Feng family. This is not a negotiation, a compromise. The Tang Emperor recognized the rule of my Lingnan Feng family over the Lingnan region, and had the right to appoint and dismiss officials in Lingnan and control over the army, which already showed that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had made great concessions, and he put forward those requirements, which seemed to be discussing with my Lingnan Feng family, but in fact it was his bottom line, if my Lingnan Feng family dared not meet his conditions, he would inevitably directly deny the legitimacy of my Lingnan Feng family's rule over the Lingnan region, and then the war between the Tang Dynasty and my Lingnan continued. And my Lingnan Feng family is still too weak compared to the huge Datang, and the final outcome will inevitably be completely annexed by Datang, and the entire Lingnan Feng family will also be uprooted and eradicated by Datang. Therefore, if my Lingnan Feng family does not want to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, then they must agree to the request of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

The situation is changing, and so is our thinking. If my Lingnan Feng family still wants to dominate Lingnan in the future, it is absolutely impossible, and now my Lingnan Feng family is not without a way forward, we can only actively integrate into the Tang Dynasty, enter the Tang Dynasty Hall, and even the inner court meeting of the Tang Dynasty, and state the political needs of my Lingnan Feng family in the Tang Dynasty, so that the policies formulated by the Tang Dynasty can take into account the political needs and political interests of my Lingnan Feng family, this is the road that our Lingnan Feng family should take in the future, and it is definitely not trapped in a corner of Lingnan (yu), sitting in a well and watching the sky, Sit back and wait. “

Feng Zhidai suddenly realized, bowed to Feng Ang and said: "I will live up to my father's expectations, and actively let my Lingnan Feng family integrate into the Tang Dynasty, enter the Tang Dynasty Hall, enter the Tang Dynasty Inner Court Conference, and put the political needs of my Lingnan Feng family into the Tang Dynasty Hall and the Tang Dynasty policy." ”

Feng Ang looked at Feng Zhidai with relief and said, "Zhidai, you are the next head of the Lingnan Feng family. As a father, I hope that you will study hard in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, be a serious official, and bring my Lingnan Feng out of the small world of Lingnan, and gradually bring it into the vast and magnificent new world of the Tang Dynasty. This is your mission and your responsibility. Only by entering the vast new world of Datang can my Lingnan Feng family take off again and achieve rapid development. ”

Feng Zhidai nodded heavily, bowed and saluted, left Feng An's study, left the Lingnan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, left Lingnan, and went to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, together with Li Gongshu, the envoy of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Two months later, in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, in the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin summoned Feng Zhidai, the son of Feng An, the governor of Lingnan and the son of the Feng family in Lingnan.

Seeing Feng Zhidai's talent and calm personality, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty appreciated it very much, and immediately issued an edict to grant Feng Zhidai the position of Shaoqing from the third rank of the Tang Dynasty, and served him left and right. Wei Wei Shaoqing is the second in command of Wei Wei Temple, one of the Nine Temples of the Tang Dynasty, and the deputy of Wei Weiqing, one of the Nine Qing Temples.

Weiwei Temple is mainly responsible for the honor guard and security work of the Tang Emperor when he travels, and is the most trusted institution of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and Feng Zhidai just entered the Tang Emperor's capital Chang'an City, and suddenly entered the Weiwei Temple, and became the second in command of the Weiwei Temple, serving His Majesty the Tang Emperor, which shows that His Majesty the Tang Emperor trusts and woos him, and also shows that His Majesty the Tang Emperor is satisfied and appreciated by the Lingnan Feng family in sending his son to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to be an official according to his own requirements.
