Chapter 59: Thinking in the Long Term
Feng Qingge's words made Lord Li completely panicked, he just did what the queen mother secretly ordered, either let the Marquis of Zhenyuan live alone in the palace of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the royal city, or find a way to propose to reduce the military power of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, in short, the Marquis of Zhenyuan must not be allowed to vacate the space.
The incident that happened in the deep palace back then was a secret of the royal family, and as a foreign minister, he didn't have a chance to know what was going on, so Lord Li didn't know the real reason why the queen wanted to target the Marquis of Zhenyuan, maybe he just thought that the queen was afraid that the Marquis of Zhenyuan would support the Nine Emperors behind his back, so the prince would have a strong competitor.
Only Feng Lingjue knew very well in his heart that he knew the truth about the murder of his mother concubine back then, and he didn't want to make them pay the price all the time, but what the imperial sister said was right, the more he hated those people, the more he had to grit his teeth and forbear, and he must not let his impulsiveness ruin him.
Now he doesn't have the conditions to compete with the queen's side, and he can only hit the stone with an egg, so when he controls the power one day, it is not too late to take revenge, and he will let those who hurt his mother get the retribution they deserve.
Feng Qisheng always looks like others can't see through, looking at the courtiers below arguing with Feng Tingge, as if he is a kind of mud, and he doesn't clearly indicate which faction he wants to stand on, this is the most anxious thing.
"Well, Lehe's words make sense, Li Aiqing, I don't know what you think, you can make the north under the protection of 50,000 troops still be as safe as now, quickly come up, if you really have such a high opinion, I will immediately make you the northern Qincha, and from then on you can take over all the affairs of the north."
Lord Li's knees are trembling, he is just a little Wenchen, where does he have the courage to take over the northern territory, let alone use a mere 50,000 soldiers and horses, even if it is more than 100,000, he doesn't have that ability, right?
So sometimes you can't eat indiscriminately, and you can't say this nonsense, especially if it's far beyond your ability, it's very likely that you will fall on it, but unfortunately not everyone understands this truth!
Lord Li can be said to be cocooned and self-bound, and he couldn't hold back any plans for a long time, and finally looked at Feng Qisheng's eyes forcing him to look at him, and finally couldn't help but weaken his legs, and knelt directly on the ground, "Weichen is frightened, and he knows that he can't handle this heavy responsibility, so please choose another good general." ”
"It seems that Lord Li firmly believes that the Marquis of Zhenyuan has been embarrassed to protect the northern border, do you mean this?" Feng Qingge looked at that Master Li with a smile, just to force people to a desperate situation, otherwise she would never be able to give up.
Master Li was almost unable to hold back in the face of Feng Qingge's pressing step by step, and just now he said that he was just looking for an excuse to prevaricate the past, but he was picked out by Princess Le and gave him another problem.
At this time, he finally regretted it, and suddenly understood that he shouldn't look at Feng Tiange with a normal person's eyes at all, from the beginning Princess Lehe was setting a trap for him, it seemed that he was leading the wind, but in fact, the rhythm had already been in the hands of Princess Lehe.
What a problem! Lord Li couldn't help but bow his head and didn't dare to speak, 50,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the north, they all knew that this was a fantasy thing, so how could such a person be selected, and even if there was such a capable person, he didn't dare to really recommend it, this was a bright hatred, who would want to do this errand that offended people.
Feng Qingge could know that this person was instigated by the queen, how could Feng Qisheng not see it? It's just that he wants to see how capable Feng Qingge can be, and how he will solve this obviously trouble-provoking minister.
At least now, it seems that he is very satisfied, he can use a few words of effort to gamble on a courtier who is an official in the court, there is nothing to say, this person he chose the right person, but it is a pity that Feng Tingge is nominally his daughter, and he will go to other countries with his relatives in the future, if she is not the daughter of Concubine Jin, maybe he will make her the crown princess of Tianshu.
Feng Lingjue watched that Master Li, who was picking on things, was dragged out on the spot, and then stepped forward and said: "Father, although the soldiers and horses in the north cannot be removed, it is imperative to choose another good general to guard the northern border, after all, now that my grandfather is old, it should be the time for the royal city to retire." ”
Feng Lingge removed a stumbling block for him and laid a good situation for him, Feng Lingjue was grateful in his heart, so he couldn't live up to her hard work, and at this time, only he understood the thoughts of the imperial sister in his heart.
"What do the Nine Emperor Princes think?" Speaking of the change of generals in the north, in fact, Feng Qisheng has already considered it, but he has never been able to find a suitable candidate, after all, the prestige of Zhenyuan Hou in the north for so many years is not something that everyone has, so it is really difficult to say this!
The eyes of those ministers were all attracted by Feng Tingge, so no one would notice the Nine Emperor Princes, although they had already seen the Nine Emperor Princes' abilities, but under the light of Feng Tiange, it still seemed a little insignificant.
In fact, this is a strategy that Feng Qingge has wanted early on, and now Feng Lingjue's foundation in the palace is still unstable, let alone in the court, if he is targeted at this time, it will only bring harm, but no benefit.
So they discussed, Feng Tingge attracted the attention of those people in Mingli, anyway, she knew that Feng Qisheng would definitely not do anything to her, and even if she was publicized in some places, Feng Qisheng indulged her more, and the courtiers had no way to say anything, who made her the princess of Tianshu did not pose any threat to the throne, so it didn't matter if she let it go.
But if it is replaced by Feng Lingjue, the situation will be completely different, this is the Nine Emperor Princes of Tianshu, the prince who can compete with the crown prince for the future emperor's position, if he doesn't share some pressure for him, everyone's eyes will be on him.
At this time, if Feng Lingjue makes a little mistake, what is waiting for him is not as simple as a few reprimands, even Feng Qisheng can't indulge him, after all, he is the emperor of Tianshu, and he is still a very successful emperor, in the throne and the prince directly, he will always choose the former.
Therefore, those ministers would be anxious and headache every time by Feng Qingge's style, and they only thought about what to do to make this Lehe princess stop, but they didn't think that it was often the Nine Emperor Princes who were ignored by them who decided everything in the end.
Feng Lingjue had already thought about how to solve this matter in his heart, and what he just said was also the truth, his grandfather had been guarding the northern border for many years, and he was already quite old, he naturally believed in his grandfather's ability, but some things were not decided by ability.
When Concubine Rong had such a thing, there had already been a fuss in the court, saying that Concubine Rong was the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and Concubine Rong had done something to murder the prince, and the Marquis of Zhenbei was no longer qualified to guard the northern border.
And at that time, Zhenbei Hou's letter was also sent to Wangcheng, and it turned out to be a letter of resignation, which was simply embarrassing Feng Qisheng, you must know that at that time, except for Zhenbei Hou, no one could take on this important task anymore, and those people forced him to change people, but they couldn't recommend a talented person.
In order to prevent changes in the northern realm, Feng Qisheng could only rely on force to suppress the rumors in the end, and no one was allowed to mention this matter again, otherwise he would be killed, and the Marquis of Zhenbei was able to stay in office until now.
"Father, the person recommended by the son is Tang Shuo, the son of the Hou of Zhenbei, the prince of Zhenbei has helped his grandfather deal with a lot of things in the north over the years, and he is familiar with everything in the north, so he is the most suitable candidate." Feng Lingjue's words were loud, but they shocked everyone present except Feng Qingge.
Concubine Rong's real name is Tang Rong, this Tang Shuo is Concubine Rong's brother-in-law, that is, Feng Lingjue's maternal uncle, everyone in the court is well versed in the principle of raising the virtuous and avoiding relatives, and is afraid that when the time comes, he will not understand and cause any trouble, but this Nine Emperor Princes actually recommended his own uncle?
After all, Feng Qisheng has been in a high position for a long time, and he has not seen anything, but he is not too surprised, after all, he has also thought about this problem, if one day the old Zhenbei Hou is really unable to guard the northern border, then the most suitable candidate to replace him is indeed his son, the current Zhenbei Hou son Tang Shuo.
However, after considering this choice, it is one thing, but it is another aspect to really implement it, if it is really allowed to let the prince of Zhenbei Hou take over the town of Zhenbei Hou to guard the northern border, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no gossip in the court.
If Concubine Rong was still there before, Feng Qisheng would not have so many worries, he believed in the loyalty of the Marquis of Zhenyuan to Tianshu, but Concubine Rong hanged herself in prison, after this incident, it was difficult for him to ensure that the current Marquis of Zhenyuan would really guard the northern border for Tianshu.
"Okay, I won't be busy discussing this beforehand, since the Marquis of Zhenbei is about to arrive in the royal city, then the reception will be handed over to the Nine Emperor Princes to do." Feng Qisheng frowned and replied to Feng Lingjue, he didn't want to decide this matter so quickly, and first look at Zhenbei Hou's attitude before deciding.
"Thank you, father." Feng Lingjue received the order and prepared to retreat.
After that, Feng Lingjue looked at Feng Qingge, and her gaze was in line with her, as if they had long known that Feng Qisheng would make such a decision, and they did not expect that Feng Qisheng would decide on the candidate to guard the northern border so quickly, so this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
After leaving the imperial study, Feng Tingge asked Feng Lingjue to come to her Jiafu Hall first, after all, the matter of receiving the Marquis of Zhenyuan now fell on Feng Lingjue, who was his maternal grandfather, and this matter would never allow half a point to be missed.
Feng Lingjue was looking forward to it in his heart, after all, his grandfather was one of the few relatives in this world, and the death of his mother must be an eternal pain in his heart, so he would take advantage of his father's birthday to travel thousands of miles from the north, so even for his grandfather, he had to frame his mother's enemy.
"You have to be extra cautious these days, especially to protect the safety of the old marquis, and if necessary, let Senior Brother Zhuyun and Senior Sister Shiyu protect the old marquis." Feng Qingge said with a solemn face.
The queen's side must have already received the news that the Marquis of Zhenbei is about to arrive in the royal city, so she will definitely take action to prevent the matter from being revealed, otherwise without the queen's instructions, how could that Lord Li target the Marquis of Zhenbei everywhere today?
