The news of King Zhenbei's critical illness made the emperor very helpless.

But this letter of state made the emperor very angry.

The new monarch, who inherited the prestige of his father, is actually very sensitive now, and he longs to break through the shadow of his father and surpass his father.

Yes, he didn't dream of his father when he dreamed, but his father was really everywhere.

However, this letter of state made him taste a kind of humiliation.

Although, as a bystander, Marquis Zheng glanced at this letter of state, in fact, he felt that it was not a big deal.

It can only be said that

The emperor of Dayan, in his bones, is really too proud.

Or rather,

is because Ji Lao Liu is indeed too similar to the emperor in some aspects.

Zheng Fan smiled,

Put the letter back in front of the royal case,

Then silently sat back in the chair below.

Ji Chengjue looked at Zheng Fan and said:

"Speak."

"There's not much to say." Marquis Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing to say?" The emperor was incredible.

"If he wants it, let him take it, the royal court is destroyed, but the barbarians have not been destroyed, even if it has become a plate of loose sand now, but the big barbarian tribes are enough for any party to drink a pot.

They probably won't have the ability to march east together to pose any threat to our Dayan for decades, but whoever wants to really send a large army into the desert will have to collapse a row of big teeth.

The people of that mission are nothing more than a bargain. ”

"Zheng Fan, they are offending my authority!"

"And then?" Zheng Fan asked rhetorically.

"You ......"

"Oh, I say, Your Majesty? Cheng Jue? Six? ”

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and waved at the emperor a few times,

"It's just destroyed the royal court, it's just broken its backbone, and you haven't really occupied its land and made a register of its people, what's the matter, you have already regarded the desert as your own land of Dayan?

I know, I know, the desert will definitely be my Dayan in the future, I understand, I can understand, you are angry, I also understand.

To be yelled, to be yelled;

But how to say it, normal heart, normal heart, you told me a while ago, let's be steady, step by step, first pick up the head of the family, and then unify Qianchu and all these summers.

If it is after that, I have nothing to do, so what does it matter if I, the Marquis of Pingxi, really lead the army to conquer the West?

You yourself said, calculate the time, this mission should have been going to the royal court to attend the conference, but now that the royal court has fallen, the people are a righteous envoy, and they are on this national letter, maybe it is to make a name for themselves, that is, an official reputation, so that they can go back to brag, be promoted, and make a fortune.

He said that he had half of the governing power, so he gave him half directly?

When his army really drives into the depths of the desert, it's not too late for you to pay attention. ”

It can only be said that

The location is not the same, and the perception and reaction to information are also different.

In fact, Marquis Zheng's statement is correct, and the emperor himself knows it in his heart;

But when you become an emperor, you are easy to get emotional;

Ji Chengjue picked up the teacup, poured some water into his palm, and then patted his forehead gently.

"For the long-term plan, Zhenbei Wangfu has to continue to support it."

When Zheng Fan heard this, he smiled,

Road;

"You were originally going to disassemble it completely?"

The emperor didn't hide it,

Directly:

"Push the county and county, take over the right to govern, and the remaining general soldiers, divide the town and guard, and relieve the fetters and people;

The great opening of merchants, the co-optation and differentiation of the desert barbarians without a royal court;

Zhenbei Palace, leave an honor, save a signboard. ”

This is to turn the century-old town of Beihou Mansion into a prince's mansion.

It can only be said that in the roast duck restaurant, what Ji Lao Liu said about cutting the feudal domain is not just talking.

"I said, is it appropriate for you to say this to me so bluntly?"

In front of a duck, you tell me how to roast a chicken deliciously?

I'm also a feudal town.

"It's just from the heart." The emperor didn't care, "After dismantling the west, the imperial court will have more strength to pull out and support you." ”

"I'm so impressed."

"What are you afraid of, not to mention whether we can unify Zhuxia in this life, even if it is unified, the land of Qianchu is nominally the country of Zhuxia, but in fact, it is difficult for people's hearts to belong in a short time.

I still need to rely on you and even your descendants to continue to help me, and help my descendants to guard.

It's still early to kill chickens and take eggs, isn't it good to leave offspring to grind? ”

The emperor suddenly thought of something,

He actually laughed.

The smile on Marquis Zheng's face faded.

In the imperial study,

Silence.

Long

The Emperor asked:

"Why don't you ask me what I'm laughing at?"

"Are you trying to force your ministers?"

After Lao Tzu goes back this time,

I don't practice anymore,

I don't want to make the cut,

In the past two years,

Let's figure out how to give birth to this child!

In my life, I have no father and no mother, how can I be more anxious than the generations of people who are urging the baby?

"Okay, okay, if you really don't have that, just accept a righteous son in the future, communicate with me in advance, there's nothing out of trouble."

"You've got it."

The emperor gestured three fingers,

Road:

"Wow."

subsequently

The Emperor added:

"Sisi is in good health, and he said, I still want to live."

"......" Zheng Fan.

"Alas, your princess is weaker, is she as good as my queen?"

"......" Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan knows that this problem is actually not a question of the difference between the princess and the butcher's daughter's weak and strong body, the fundamental problem is in himself and Siniang.

But looking at the emperor's ostentatious appearance, it is really a shame.

"Six, let's leave some dignity for this imperial study."

"Okay."

The Emperor nodded,

sighed again,

Road;

"Now, for the future, I can only continue to support the Zhenbei Wangfu from falling."

This is something that should be considered from the emperor's point of view, the barbarians are now castrated, but this may also trigger a chain reaction, such as whether the western countries may try to try the crusade after losing the buffer zone and isolation of the barbarians.

At present, it is very difficult;

But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and the emperor must consider this situation.

Can't you castrate the Zhenbei Wangfu because the barbarians have been castrated, and wait until a few years later, when the Western army appears, after passing the desert, to Beifeng County, and directly advancing from Pingchuan?

"Just be decent." Zheng Fan said, "It can also be regarded as buying people's hearts." ”

"Well, okay, I've tired you, if it weren't for the trouble I have to leave the palace now, I would have wanted to see you in your mansion."

"It's okay, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and I want to see you more."

"After the beginning of spring, I will send you the inheritance."

"Hmm." Zheng Fan agreed, this is a good thing.

"Alas, there are too many children at home, and it's annoying."

"Get out."

……

Beifeng County,

Zhenbei Palace.

After Li Liangting came back from the desert, his whole person collapsed.

The side effects of the silver acupuncture point have been revealed, and his body is simply unable to bear and suffer from this side effect.

Of course, this was expected in advance.

So

At this time, the people in the Zhenbei Wangfu have already prepared for the imminent departure of the Zhenbei King.

The family will accompany him every day to bask in the sun, watch the sunset, and blow the wind;

The generals in the army will also come to visit their princes in batches.

Everything, everything,

It's all going on in an orderly manner.

The connotation of the century-old Zhenbei Hou Mansion was really completely revealed at this time.

The word "heritage" is often not used when cooking oil in a blazing fire, but when it is used in a trough;

When you are at a low point, you can only use the foundation.

transfer of power;

the soothing of the military chief;

political promises;

One by one, one by one, everyone can accept it safely, this is the essence.

Li Fei has been accompanying his father almost every step these days, meeting all kinds of people and making all kinds of arrangements.

The starry sky of Beifeng County has always been very clear, and today, it is a full moon night.

On a tower in the palace,

Li Liangting was lying there, covered with a quilt;

Li Fei sat next to him, peeling frozen pears.

In the next floor,

The princess, the princess and the grandmother who had children from all the families were pulling the white cloth and making the clothes needed for the funeral.

Naturally,

Didn't shy away from it;

When you are carried upstairs,

Li Liangting also saw it and said:

"It's hard work, daughter-in-law, sure enough, if you want to be filial."

The princess scolded:

"Old and unserious things, hurry up and die!"

He's dying,

The family is busy with the aftermath,

It's not a curse,

It's a kind of steadfastness;

When people are young, when they see this, they will feel unlucky, but when they see these at this time, they will only feel stable.

"My son."

"Father."

"The Roman mission, is it all done?"

"Back to my father's words, it has been disposed of, and Sister Ah will help to close it."

"Okay."

Li Liangting nodded.

The father and son didn't speak for a while.

Only Li Fei took the initiative to send the frozen pears to Li Liangting's lips and let him suck the pear juice.

At this time, it is actually not good to eat these cold ones again, but, in other words, at this time, it is natural to eat whatever you want.

A few days ago, my father, who had just returned from the expedition, heard that Zaifu had died, and he drank a large bowl of wine.

The Roman mission, it's true.

It is true that they have not been able to reach the royal court after delay;

But the reason for the postponement was not for them, but for the royal court's Golden Horde assembly, which itself had only a vague date;

The reason is very simple, the desert is too big, and the leaders and nobles of some large tribes, the date when they gather in the royal court is not fixed, in case of a sandstorm or something, it is natural to postpone.

Therefore, this conference was supposed to wait for everyone to arrive almost before starting.

From this point of view, the mission of the Roman Empire is really not too late.

It's just because after the news of Emperor Yan's death reached the royal court,

The royal court was so excited.

Although Emperor Yan did not use a soldier against the court in the name of the court during his reign, whoever had such a fierce emperor in his neighborhood could not help but be frightened.

Therefore,

Because of this "great news", the meeting of the Golden Horde League was held ahead of schedule.

The results are clear.

The emperor of Dayan did not forget his old neighbor until he died, and he was afraid that he would be too lonely after he left, so he sent two princes before he died, and took the royal court down to go on the road together.

From this point of view, the joy of Wang Ting when he learned the news of Emperor Yan's death really can't be miscalculated, it can only be that the way to celebrate is wrong.

And this Roman Empire mission, which numbered hundreds of people, came too late.

They came from the west,

And after the little prince of the barbarian tribe escaped from the royal court, he also went all the way to the west;

And then

The Roman mission was pleasantly surprised,

The royal court of the barbarians was destroyed, but they received the heirs of the royal court.

The head of the mission has even fantasized about how to make good use of the identity of the little prince and the capital to re-cultivate a new royal court from the West;

And then

The news that surprised the Roman mission even more,

That is, a white-haired Yan general with eight hundred horsemen appeared in front of them because he was chasing the little prince of the barbarians.

The Roman mission did not see the uproar of the royal court,

but saw King Jingnan of Dayan, who ended the hustle and bustle of the royal court;

outcome

Go without saying;

More than half of the Roman missions were killed and wounded,

Seeing this, the little prince fled again, and King Jingnan led his troops to continue the pursuit.

The remnants of the Roman mission were found a few days later, when the Yan army that had destroyed the royal court spread outward to clean up the battlefield, and they were bound up and brought back.

"My son, what do you think it means for my father to let the people of that mission send letters to Your Majesty?"

"My father wants to preserve the military power of the Li family and continue to maintain the Li family."

"Ugh."

Li Liangting sighed.

"Father, is the son wrong?"

"I heard that you have a teacher who is an old Confucian student."

"Yes."

"Knowledge, there may be, but the pattern cannot be high."

"Yes, the old Confucian himself said so."

"My father didn't make a living, including sending you to the royal court in advance, why did your mother scold you over and over again for being an old beast for your father, it was because my father was deliberately digging the roots of my Hou Mansion.

You know? ”

Li Fei shook his head.

"For the good of Dayan."

"My son understands."

Actually, the reason is very easy to understand;

However, it is difficult for outsiders to believe that people in this position, at this level, and in this authority can still have such pure emotions.

"My father is leaving, you are still a little tender, of course, with your sister here, you can also slowly mature, and after all, you will become a qualified Li family man, this is something that my father never doubts.

But this will be very tiring, after a hundred years of Hou Mansion, my Li family boys, from generation to generation, are actually very tired.

Isn't it good to be a rich man and a hereditary replacement? ”

"Very well, father." Li Fei said.

"My father also thinks that the new monarch is similar to the first emperor, and the first emperor, in fact, is extremely cold.

Of course, being a father and without a mirror is an exception, because without a mirror is too powerful, because as a father, he has the Zhenbei Hou Mansion at its peak.

So

We,

Talent side by side.

And you

Not qualified.

Maybe, that Pingxi Marquis can have a good relationship with the new monarch like his father and Wujing did with the emperor back then.

You, no.

Therefore, thinking for my father, instead of waiting for Xinjun to stabilize the situation, he will do it, it is better for us to send it up obediently, for the sake of my father's face, we can still have a little incense to burn, isn't this reasonable? ”

"Yes."

"But listen, listen to what the people of that mission say, why they came to the royal court, to form an alliance with the royal court, and what is the purpose of the alliance, to ...... Crusade.

Probably, it is not reliable now, the desert is very large, there are many tribes, and in a short time, they will not be able to do the crusade.

But what if?

For their father, they asked them to go to the country, not to protect the Li family, but for their father to remind the new monarch not to think that if the royal court is destroyed, everything will be fine in the west.

I can't say, the wolf in the west already thinks that he is strong and can try it?

So

Before, it was out of public interest, and my Li family went down, which was good for Dayan;

Now, also out of public interest, my Li family will not go down first, which is good for Dayan.

you

Got it? ”

"Got it."

"My Li family has a lot of caravans, will come and go to the West, Your Majesty in the early years, in fact, there were also caravans walking, you listen to their reports more, and also give Your Majesty more excerpts to say, everyone, you must be aware of it."

"Yes, father, son understands."

"If there is something I don't understand, ask your sister, when your sister was a child, she had a bad temperament, and now she ......"

"Father, son and sister, after all, they are sisters and brothers, so father doesn't have to worry."

"Well, it's been hard for my son, and I haven't been raised by my side, but in the end, I have to bear this burden."

"The father laughed, and the son is also a blessing that he can't dream of."

"My son."

"Father, you say."

"More than 800 years ago, the Marquis of Yan was ordered by the Great Summer to open the border for the Zhuxia Emperor;

after

Yan Hou called the emperor,

My Li family is also a marquis.

In fact

My Li family is under the order of Emperor Yan, the enemy of all the west.

Next

If the father is not bad, the new monarch will lie dormant for two or three years, and then, my Dayan will start the journey of dominating all summers.

You have to endure loneliness.

Just keep it here,

Guarding the edge of this desert,

If you keep it well, this is a merit. ”

"My son knows."

"Take care of the family, dad hopes, you can see that my Dayan dominates the days of the summer.

Dad also hopes that you can wait until the day when my Dayan Iron Rider really goes west.

Daddy's most hopeful,

You and your sister can live this life peacefully. ”

Speaking of which,

Li Liangting suddenly lifted the quilt on his body,

Sit up,

This move startled Li Fei.

Li Liangting's eyes were red,

Slapping the edge of the bed hard,

Yell:

"Brother Hao'er and Wujing, I have suffered so much for Dayan, in the end, I am the only one who can die on this sickbed, and my children and old wives are also waiting by my side.

I'm blessed, why is it so good?

Such a good blessing,

What face do I have, go down to see Brother Hao'er?

Son,

Daddy has no face,

Shameless!

Why,

Where is Daddy worse than them,

Why can my father die on this bed,

Why! ”

Li Liangting fell back on the bed again,

Eyes half-narrowed.

"Dad, I owe them, really, when I was young, I said that we would do everything to do it together, and in the end, they did it, Dad, I didn't do it.

Son......"

Li Fei cried,

He had a premonition,

The women on the next floor, hearing the shouts from upstairs, also stopped what they were doing, obviously, they all had a premonition.

"Son, remember my father's words, it doesn't matter if the barbarians are coming from the west, but if they come from the west, he can come, but he has thought about this Beifeng County;

My Li family, my Li family...... Li Jia........."

Li Liangting clenched Li Fei's hand and wanted to speak, but he suddenly couldn't speak, so he could only look at his son with wide eyes.

Li Fei took a deep breath and said:

"I have to step on my Li family's corpse."

King Zhenbei smiled,

hand

Also loosened.

The whole person,

Completely calmed down in bed.

Heir of the Centennial Marquis,

The North Prince of Dayan Town,

Let's go.

——————

There are also in the evening.
