Chapter 169: Qu Cangming's Shadow
Since that day Yu Xi said that he would turn Tanran into a colony, Feng Yiyang did have this thought. Before, he always felt that this was a long process, and it was not something that one or two generations could do. His strategy of tannishing has always been encroachment, dividing cities, territories, and people into the territory little by little.
But talking with Yu Xi and Gong Chengyun that day also strengthened his determination to win Tanran. If you don't take it while the weapons are advanced and the enemy is a little tired of coping, there will still be endless troubles in the future, and it is still unknown who will be captured by whom.
Feng Huaijin is a small person, but he is obviously a careerist, he has had the heart of the world since he was a child, so he naturally raised his hands in favor of his imperial aunt.
Feng Yiyang was extremely disgusted with Qu Cangming because of Yu Xi's affairs, and he was very reluctant to let him cooperate with Qu Cangming. But he can't stand Yu Xi and Feng Huaijin grinding him, one is the most beloved wife, and the other is a nephew who treats him as his own, both of them are big hearts, and they can only agree.
Yu Xi means that uniting with Qu Cangming is nothing more than "borrowing a knife to kill people", even if the Emperor Tanran does it for Qu Cangming, isn't it also a puppet of their Feng Kingdom, what is there to be unwilling.
She likes Feng Yiyang very much: capable but indifferent, without any big ambitions, she just wants to live a happy and peaceful life with her beloved. Everyone in the world thinks that Feng Yiyang is ambitious, but only she knows that he has no choice but to do it. If he really had that ambition, he would have stopped being regent a long time ago, but had replaced him.
He played well and personally cultivated Feng Huaijin into a young emperor with a strategy.
When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly ordered someone to drive and returned to the palace with great momentum.
When they arrived at the palace, Lei Wanjun and others were being escorted to the main hall, waiting for Feng Huaijin to come back. Qu Cangming sat on the side with a dark face, it was really exciting.
"Your Majesty Emperor Feng, everything is done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." As soon as Lei Wanjun saw the three of them, he immediately said to Feng Huaijin, but his eyes were clearly looking at Feng Yiyang.
His cognition of Feng Guo was still the era when he had to listen to Feng Yiyang's orders in everything, he didn't know that Feng Huaijin, the young emperor who Feng Yiyang had carefully cultivated, had slowly plumped up his wings and grown up little by little.
Feng Huaijin also looked at Feng Yiyang, seeing that he seemed to be smiling and not smiling, he didn't mean to speak, obviously testing him how to deal with this matter.
"You came all the way to Dafeng Kingdom to assassinate your own prince, what is your motive?" Feng Huaijin sat down leisurely and asked loudly.
"The foreign ministers are concerned about me, and they privately think that it is not worth it to raise the power of a country and cede land to pay compensation to save a prince, or to be a prince. The foreign minister did this purely for the sake of my great country. ”
Lei Wanjun must have thought of various endings before he came, and naturally made various preparations.
But what he said was not that important at all, everyone knew that he was a subordinate of the prince Qu Huaixu, and these statements were just to avoid pointing the finger at the prince.
Feng Huaijin said: "What a good courtier who takes his family and country as his own responsibility, if the people of my Feng Kingdom can also make decisions for me in everything like this, I can rest completely." ”
The meaning of ridicule is overflowing: You may really be powerful, being a courtier, with the heart of the emperor, is the next step to seek power and usurp the throne.
Lei Wanjun took the blame for others, and he couldn't say what he was suffering for, his face was red and white for a while, which was extremely exciting.
"There is no need to embarrass General Lei, he is also entrusted by others to be loyal." Qu Cangming sneered, "If I don't die for a day, Qu Huaixu, the crown prince, will be unstable, if I die, in the next step, His Royal Highness the crown prince should think that his father's life is too long." ”
Lei Wanjun is also a down-to-earth man on weekdays, and he is so ashamed that he can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. It's embarrassing enough to be embarrassed to be thrown into an enemy country.
Feng Huaijin once again set his eyes on Feng Yiyang and Yu Xi, and saw that the two of them were looking at him for a long time, looking like they were all in charge of him.
He waved his hand domineeringly: "That's it, a foreign minister, and he is here to assassinate his own prince, I have no reason to punish you." Only General Lei also lived in the palace for a few days, waiting for Emperor Qu and Prince Tanran. ”
He also said to the palace people: "Send the order to go down, let the Ministry of Rites repair a book and send it to Tanran, and if you don't take the second prince back within ten days of receiving the letter, I will give up the second prince by default and dispose of it at will." ”
The palace people hurriedly answered.
"Well, please." Feng Huaijin proudly raised his chin and ordered Lei Wanjun to be placed under house arrest.
Yu Xi looked at the little guy's mature and calm appearance, and felt inexplicably relieved, as if his adopted son had grown up.
The success of this "anti-intermediary plan" is surprising, and it is also directly related to Feng Yiyang's strategy and implementation, but Feng Yiyang is already trying to let go, and let Feng Huaijin deal with some things as much as possible, and he will assist on the side.
Since having Yu Xi, he is full of expectations for Feng Huaijin to be in charge as soon as possible, and he has personally accelerated the process.
"Qu Huaixu doesn't want his father to exchange the city for my life, I already knew it."
Qu Cangming saw that Feng Huaijin and the three of them had their own concerns and did not speak, and suddenly spoke.
"Although there is a battle for the throne, after all, they are brothers, so why not." Feng Huaijin sighed, he has been taught since he was a child to be a good emperor, to be an authoritative emperor, naturally he also takes the throne well, and he also knows that many people are staring at this position.
But at the same time, he also heard the emperor's grandmother talk about the relationship between the emperor and Feng Yiyang since he was a child, and he also witnessed how selfless Feng Yiyang was to himself.
A desolate look appeared on Qu Cangming's face, and he sighed heavily.
"I grew up in the shadow of Qu Huaixu, and I almost forgot that I was also a flesh-and-blood person. Hehe, that's ridiculous. Qu Huaixu's mother is the queen, and my mother is just a dowry maid brought by the queen's mother's family. Since I was a child, my mother taught me not to fight with the prince for anything. ”
Qu Cangming's eyes looked vacantly ahead, as if he was looking at something but couldn't see it, and as if he had suddenly lost his mind.
"I have been reading to Qu Huaixu since I was five years old, and when I was eight years old, my mother heard the Taifu say in front of my father that I was very talented, and I would become a great tool in time, so frightened that I didn't even dare to let me continue reading."
"Later, when I was fifteen years old, my mother began to let some unpromising sons and brothers come into the palace to have fun with me, take me to tease birds and prostitutes, and do her best to raise me into a waste."
"I asked my mother why she did this, and she said that only then could I live a safe life."
"You don't know, I really love to read, and I really don't like the style of those rich idlers."
