Kaifeng.

On the castle tower.

"Tokyo Menghualu!"

Yang Feng looked at the still withered city in front of him with some emotion......

Of course, this is no longer the Kaifeng City of the year.

The current Kaifeng is newly built, much smaller than the original Kaifeng City, and the area is about one-fifth of the latter, but even after shrinking to this extent, the population in the city is still not much, and there are large vacant spaces everywhere, after all, the population of the entire Henan at this time is almost the same as the Kaifeng Mansion in its heyday.

At present, the population of Henan is about 2 million, and it is difficult to be a brother and a brother with the political envoy of Beiping.

However, the latter area is much larger.

And the population is basically concentrated around the city of Beiping, so the rest of the city is more inhospitable.

Henan is more balanced.

Guide, Kaifeng, and Luoyang are all cities with relatively large populations.

But in any case, this once prosperous era has finally become a thing of the past, lasting hundreds of years of war, the Song and Jin wars are here the frontier, the battlefield of the tug-of-war, and then the rule of the Jin State stabilized a little, followed by the Mongol destruction of the Jin. In the end, Henan was still the last stubborn place of the Jin State, and the white bones were still killed, and then the Mongol rule stabilized a little and it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty melee, and Henan was especially the main battlefield. After all, the main control area of Liu Futong and others is Henan and Shandong, and Henan, especially the main battlefield of see-sawing, can be said to have been in constant tug-of-war for hundreds of years.

Add to that the flooding of the Yellow River.

In the end, the entire Central Plains became like this.

"After more than 20 years of recovery, it's already good, and the time when the king is in the domain is the blue thread."

Lai Gong said.

Next to him, King Zhou smiled modestly.

His attitude towards Yang Feng was very abnormal, and he could be said to be enthusiastic, and even personally accompanied Ambassador Yang to visit the city, and discussed medicine with him, as if he was reunited with an old friend.

"That's why His Highness compiled the Herb for Saving the Famine?"

Yang Feng said.

"The land of Henan has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and the Yellow River is overflowing, the land is yellow sand, the people are poor, and the famine continues, Xiao Wang is here, after all, he can't sit back and watch the people starve and cold, although his ability is limited, but he has to do something after all."

King Zhou said.

"Your Highness is really a virtuous king!"

Yang Feng hurriedly praised him.

Of course, this guy is not a good bird.

King Zhou was even taken back by Zhu Yuanzhang to house arrest before, and Hongwu was released in twenty-four years, because he left the fiefdom without permission and went to meet with his father-in-law Feng Sheng secretly. He is a son-in-law, he can make Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always protected calves, like this, he and Feng Sheng are definitely not as simple as meeting each other, although Zhu Biao was still alive at the time, it is unlikely that he wants to do something, but it is inevitable that Weng and his son-in-law will engage in an alliance that advances and retreats together.

However, after being taught a lesson by Zhu Yuanzhang, he is now very low-key.

His father-in-law is also very low-key.

Feng Sheng is now studying Tang He of the year, also known as sick and caring for the elderly at home.

Zhu Yuanzhang has now lost interest in killing these veterans, after all, there is now a real threat to Yang Feng, he needs the sincere unity within the Ming Dynasty, he can't kill anymore, and if he kills again, there will be no one available, after all, now he has to rely on Yang Wen's level to fight in the east and west.

At present, the top veteran who is still really in charge of power is Fu Youde.

The latter is very enthusiastic in Beiping.

In fact, it's hard to say whether he has a part in this incident.

After all, he and King Jin are allies.

His daughter was married to the son of King Jin.

"Ambassador, Xiao Wang wants to ask the ambassador to stay for a few more days, and there are still some things he wants to ask, I wonder if the ambassador can appreciate his face?"

King Zhou said with a smile.

Yang Feng looked at it and looked at it......

"The old man is old, he has to walk the mountain road next, he can't go fast, if the ambassador intends to stay for a few days, the old man will just go first, you and I can meet in Zezhou."

Lai Gong said.

He was telling the truth.

He really can't compare his age with Yang Feng who is sitting in a four-wheeled carriage, the latter's car has shock absorption, and two horses are pulled, it is easy to run a hundred and ten miles a day, he must follow closely when riding a horse, and an old bone can not hold up the toss.

Further on, the road is more difficult, especially the mountain road of Tianjing Pass.

So it's better to leave a few days in advance.

"In that case, then I'll bother Your Highness for a few days!"

Yang Feng said briskly.

At this moment, his gaze fell on Haruhime, who was waiting under the city wall.

The latter was walking towards a young man.

Yang Feng looked at him suspiciously, and then the young man suddenly turned his head and smiled at him......

"My lord, I want to walk around the city by myself."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, please!"

King Zhou said busily.

Yang Feng immediately went down the city wall, as if he really admired Kaifeng City, he walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, and after making sure that the view on the city tower had been blocked, he did not hesitate to enter the alley next to him, and then caught up with Chun Ji and the man who were also inside, and directly pressed the back of the head against the wall......

"Where's the princess?"

Yang Feng said angrily.

"Why, can't I come by myself?"

Zhang Ying, who was dressed in men's clothes, leaned on the wall and said with a smile.

"Really?"

Yang Feng said.

"The princess asked me to go back to Beiping to visit my mother under the pretext of coming to see you, so that you don't get into trouble on the road, your embassy is already crowded enough, you go out and bring back at least one, she doesn't want you to wait for you to be a colt, there are already a herd of beauties."

Zhang Ying said.

Yang Feng was speechless, and then let go of his hand, but gave her a slap in the face.

"Did you go to the bank?"

He asked.

Of course, there is a bank in Kaifeng, and the bank is the little princess's intelligence network, but the main thing to do for her is Zhang Ying, just like the little princess's spy leader, so Zhang Ying came to improve the intelligence network for him, after all, the little princess also knew that Yang Feng's trip was a war.

"I went, but it was useless, and the news from Taiyuan has not yet come.

Our messaging is too slow.

You have to find a way to make our news delivery faster, not only for the current use, but also for many things in the bank in the future, the post station of the government can not be used, Nanzhi and Zhejiang are more banks OK, but there are few places in the north, it takes several days to pass the news from Taiyuan, and it takes half a month to get to the headquarters in Beijing. ”

Zhang Ying said.

"What else do you want me to make you a wireless telegraph?"

Yang Feng said.

Of course, wireless telegraphy is too difficult.

Although Sister Liu can indeed help him solve the design and even manufacturing methods, with the current level of technology, it is not possible to make a practical telegraph.

At most, you can experiment later.

Cable Telegraph ......

Then he had to solve the problem of being cut first.

So there is really no good way to do this, at most it is to repair the communication tower, this can indeed be done, but it will definitely be prostituted by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is okay to be prostituted by him for nothing, it is a big deal to use it together, but since it is used together, it is not easy to pass on the secrets of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hurry up and change into women's clothes, and then go directly to King Zhou's mansion to find me, now King Zhou is delaying time."

He said.

King Zhou is indeed stalling for time.

Including the friendly attitude towards him is also pretended.

It is estimated that he is afraid that his third brother's preparation will not be sufficient, so he will delay here for a few days, and Lai Gong and Yang Feng will go together, if even Lai Gong dies together, it is easy for other things to happen, Lai Gong is the right capital of the Imperial History. Therefore, King Zhou dragged Yang Feng for a few days to separate Yang Feng and Lai Gong at the same time, and the rest was for his third brother to arrange an ambush, and the most suitable place should be Tianjing Pass, and it may also be the Yellow River crossing. In short, separating Yang Feng and Lai Gong, the rest is to arrange ambushes, even if you can't kill Yang Feng once, it's a big deal to continue to kill.

Bandits!

It's not very reasonable for some bandits to come out of Taihang Mountain?

And it's not just Taihang Mountain.

From Tianjing Pass to the north to the north and south pass, the entire route is hundreds of miles, all infested with mountain bandits, so any mountain road can be an ambush battlefield.

"And what am I going to do with you?"

Zhang Ying said.

"You go to me, I heard that you are going back to Beiping to visit your mother, just by virtue of the relationship between the two of us, should we also go to your house to see?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He won't follow his opponent's train of thought!

"Phew, who's related to you?"

Zhang Ying smacked him and said.

"It's not too late to happen!"

Yang Feng said.

As he spoke, he pressed them against the wall again......

The next day.

"What, the ambassador is going to Beiping?"

King Zhou said in amazement.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect her to let me go to Beiping together, you also know that the two of us are in love, there have been a lot of rumors about us outside, what she ran away from marriage, I fought with King Yan for women, etc., although these are just nonsense, but we are indeed happy with each other, and now she has a rare opportunity to go to Peking to meet her mother together.

Maybe it will be fulfilled. ”

Yang Feng said shamelessly.

Zhang Ying came to him this morning, as a female official close to the princess, she was warmly welcomed by Princess Zhou, after all, the little princess, a super rich woman, is now the darling of the aristocratic inner house.

You can make a fortune with her!

Then her number one cronie is, of course, also the darling of the aristocratic inner house.

"Uh, the ambassador and the fourteenth sister?"

King Zhou said in amazement.

"Princess? She is only fifteen, what can there be between us, we are actually like brothers and sisters, Your Highness, don't misunderstand, we are innocent. ”

Yang Feng said.

King Zhou was depressed for a moment.

You are innocent among you!

Everyone in the world knows that you are in the same car when you go out, and you are in the same room when you enter, and there is a table for one person upstairs in the embassy, and the news that the princess is often dressed in strange clothes has long been known all over the world. But no one dares to say anything, after all, it is a princess, and His Majesty the Emperor is very sensitive to this issue, although he also knows, but if you have to expose it, it will be easy to become angry.

So even if the little princess wears a small skirt and acts as a card girl, everyone is still praising Princess Hanshan for her virtuous and virtuous virtue.

】

What?

She and Yang Feng hugged each other?

Nonsense, who saw it, which eye did not see it?

If you don't have good eyes, dig it out!

I don't want to dig it, do you want to ask Jinyiwei for help?

In this case, you actually say that you are innocent between you?

I'm still her brother!

"In this case, it is inconvenient for Xiao Wang to stay longer."

He said.

Now there is no point in procrastinating.

Because if Yang Feng goes to Beiping, he doesn't need to take the post road to the west to cross the river in Guangwu, he directly crosses the river in the north of Kaifeng, and then goes north, even if he drags it out again, it's too late to adjust, since that's the case, let him go! In the final analysis, King Zhou was not involved in it in the first place, and he could not do much, at least not enough to involve himself.

"Your Highness, don't you think that your position is actually not suitable for a vassal king?

Henan!

Zhongzhou!

How can anyone take the Central Plains as a vassal king? ”

Yang Feng said.

You don't want to get involved?

Then force you to get involved!

Anyway, the fiefdom of King Zhou must be removed in the future.

"What does the ambassador want to say?"

King Zhou said in a deep voice.

"It's nothing, I just think that His Royal Highness's fiefdom is very unreasonable, after all, since ancient times, those who have won the Central Plains have won the world, and His Royal Highness has the Central Plains alone, even if His Majesty the Emperor of your country trusts His Highness because of his father and son, he will not doubt His Highness, can the successor have such trust in His Highness? Since Yang and His Royal Highness are familiar at first sight, then be open and honest, His Royal Highness lives in a beautiful place, in the heart, is there no self-knowledge?

If I am His Royal Highness, then I will simply go up and ask for the transfer of the domain.

Return this fief to the imperial court.

I ask His Majesty the Emperor of your country to assign you another fief. ”

Yang Feng said.

King Zhou almost forcibly controlled his anger before he listened to his provocation in silence......

It's a provocation.

Even if Yang Feng puts on a posture of putting his heart into his heart, he can't change the fact that this is a provocation, the affairs of the emperor's father, son, brothers, uncles and nephews, which is your turn for an outsider to interfere here? If it is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, then a close relative who is separated from the flesh and blood is enough to destroy the family.

Of course, King Zhou also knew very well that Yang Feng was behind the emperor's grandson, and Yang Feng's words were actually the emperor's grandson's warning to him, telling him that Zhou, the vassal king, would definitely withdraw in the future. If he is sensible, then he honestly asks for the withdrawal of the domain, lest the imperial grandson be rude to him when the time comes.

"What the ambassador taught, remember it!"

King Zhou said slowly.

"Yes, Your Highness must think about it, it's best to move the domain as soon as possible, in fact, I don't think there is any need to move the domain, just hand over the fief and withdraw the domain, just keep the status of a vassal king, and then take the money you should to go to the capital to be a prince of peace.

You don't have to worry about anything in the future.

Not to mention that you have to lead troops to the battlefield, and enjoy the glory and wealth happily. ”

Yang Feng said.

To be precise, it is happy to be a pig.

"Sending off!"

Zhu Hu almost gritted his teeth and said.

He can't accept being a pig, and now Yang Feng's threat is what Zhu Yunxi will do to him after he succeeds to the throne in the future, so he must find a way to protect himself next. If he could continue to sit back and watch this struggle in the past, then he can't in the future, and if he doesn't want to be removed from the feudal domain in the future, he must stand on the side of his third brother and Zhu Yunwen.

As for his fourth brother......

His fourth brother is too strong, and he doesn't want to live in the shadow of his fourth brother.

That's his own brother, a fellow mother.

Yang Feng left as if he hadn't seen his iron-blue face.

That's what you want.

Zhu Hu doesn't want to get involved, he has to get involved!

If you want to secretly poke and cooperate with his third brother, and you don't want to be involved in it and be affected later, how can there be such a good thing in this world, either be honest, or join the battlefield, and if you don't join, you will be kicked in.
