Chapter 39: The Northern Fiefdom

"This north is next to Ulaanbaatar, and it has been the mother family of the middle palace for many years, and the Feng family's Feng Lao Guogong is guarding the border pass in the north, so Ulaanbaatar does not dare to make a mistake."

Although the man's illness has improved a lot, he is still a little wheezing when he speaks.

The young man touched the man's forehead, and when he saw that the temperature was normal, he felt a lot more relieved: "Dad, you can rest for a while, these things will be the same with your son later, don't be in a hurry." ”

The man's breath was even, and he shook his head slightly: "It's okay, my father's body is much better."

Jun'er knows that the old man has entered the age of sixties, and it is said that life is rare for sixty years.

He has five sons and one daughter, and his daughter is today's middle palace, although the sons are brave and good at fighting, but the Feng family is a relative after all. ...... in the future"

The man didn't say the rest thoroughly, but the boy understood.

"Once the old prince is gone, the northern border defense will lack the deterrence of the old prince, not to mention what will happen to the sons of the old prince, then Ulaanbaatar will definitely be eyeing this large piece of territory in the north again."

"Dad means that King You will defend this huge territory in the north for the prince in the future?" The boy asked, opening his mouth wide.

"Well, most of the officials sent to the north over the years are from the prince and the Youwang, in order to gather strength for Youwang.

On the one hand, it is to slowly withdraw the power of the Feng family to prevent the relatives from becoming bigger in the future, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for the Youwang Dynasty.

Youwang is still young now, and my father estimates that in less than three years, Youwang will definitely go to Youzhou. The man affirmed.

In fact, these men would not have said it to their young sons in the past, but since they did not plan to marry again in this life, he simply let his son contact these earlier.

After all, he is already a prince and a prince, and when his son enters the official career in the future, he will also be labeled as a prince and a prince, and it is also beneficial to understand it earlier.

"By the way, what about Ling'er?"

"Eldest sister, she borrowed the kitchen of the inn and is cooking porridge for her father!" The boy replied.

The man sighed: "You two sisters and brothers are good children, and it is enough for your father to have you two in this life." ”

"Dad, it's our brother and sister who have a father like you is enough!"

Father and son looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

This father and son are none other than Feng Xianling, father and son, who are about to take up their posts in Changhai County.

Feng Xianling is just the year of his establishment this year, his wife died in childbirth when he gave birth to a son in his early years, he is the son of the family, he is deeply persecuted by his mother-in-law, and his early years are very hard.

Fortunately, the imperial examination was entered, and he was favored by His Majesty today, and now he was sent to Changhai County to be the county commander.

Only then did he understand that this was making him stand on the side of the prince and the king of You.

Not to mention the Feng Xianling family who fell ill on the way, just talk about the Youwang who was discussed by their father and son, at this time he was planning the things in the future fief in his palace.

When he arrived in Beijing, he proposed it to his father and the prince's brother.

Since the establishment of the Daxi Dynasty, like other dynasties, it has only focused on the development of the Central Plains, ignoring the vast northern territories.

It is known from the few cities in the north.

The entire northwest of the Daxi Dynasty was garrisoned by King Xuanyuan Yu of Ning, who resisted Ulaanbaatar in the north and the vassal Uighurs in the west. In the southwest, King Xuanyuan Feng was stationed to resist the vassal state of Tubo in the southwest and his ambitious eldest brother Jianwang Xuanyuanqin, while in the north, the Duke of Feng Lao was stationed to resist the neighboring state of Ulaanbaatar.

The queen mother is still alive now, and the love with the Feng family is naturally there, once the old prince is gone, and the prince's brother Xuanyuan Jie succeeds to the throne, it is difficult to say how much love will be between this nephew and his uncle.

He didn't have any big ideals in his life, so he wanted to assist his brother to ascend to the throne in his lifetime.

The eldest brother Xuanyuan Qin had already been sent to the most remote southwest a few years ago, but he had been actively drilling camps all these years, eyeing the position of the prince.

Fortunately, his two uncles, King Ning and King Cheng, are both loyal to their father and are also staunch royalists, otherwise his father would not be so relieved to put his eldest brother in Jianchang Mansion, so that the two uncles would be staring at the eldest brother.

The Feng family is currently quite loyal to the Daxi Dynasty, and he is also worried that in the future, when his grandfather is gone, his uncles will have other thoughts.

Only then did he discuss with his father and the crown prince's brother, and assigned Shangjing and other places in the north to himself as fiefdoms.

What he didn't expect was that his father would assign the capital north of Youzhou to him as a fief and make him the king of Youzhou.

He thought of the north, on the one hand, he wanted to take back the Feng family's military power in the future, and on the other hand, he wanted to replan the barren land in the north to see if he could make the desolate north also become a prosperous place for the Daxi Dynasty.

His fiefdom accounted for a quarter of the Daxi Dynasty, but there were only eighteen cities, and nearly one-third of the people lived nomadically, and the rest were mostly for the soldiers in the frontier to store food, which was barely enough for the military rations of the Fengjia army.

Only a small part of the population lives in freedom.

He received the best education since he was a child, and although he did not need to inherit the throne as a son-in-law, his responsibilities were not small at all.

The father plans to ask him to be in two years, and now he must make all preparations for the future, otherwise it will be too late to hold on to his feet.

Getting up and stretching his waist, rubbing his swollen eyes, Xuanyuan Che paced to the couch, reached out to pick up the little fox in a nest, touched its slippery fur, and felt the exhaustion all over his body swept away.

The white fox in his arms was rescued when he was eight years old while hunting, and it was pitifully injured in its hind legs.

Xuanyuan Che liked it at first sight, and brought it back for the imperial doctor to treat it, and used a lot of precious medicinal materials to save the little guy's injured leg.

The little fox nested in his arms, enjoying the touch of his master, and his heart was happy.

If Cher saw it, she would definitely think that this little guy was very familiar, because it looked exactly like the white fox that Cher rescued.

Xue'er has been recuperating during this time, her complexion has improved a lot, and Yun's pregnancy has not been as hard as before, and she is extremely comfortable.

In the evening of this day, the sky had already darkened, Dong Changhe had not yet finished work, and the mother and daughter were waiting for him to go home.

Yun took out all the eggs accumulated at home, and Xue'er asked curiously, "Mother, are you going to sell them at the market?" I'll help you count! ”

Yun was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "In the future, we will save these eggs, except for giving them away, we will keep the rest for us to eat, your father said that we don't have to be so economical." ”

"Oh, what are you doing with them, mother?" Cher was genuinely curious.

"Mother is going to sift through it and find eggs that can be hatched, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, it's time to hatch some chickens and ducks."
