Chapter 101: The New Emperor's Talents
The capital, Youzhou, and Daqian are all guarding filial piety for the emperor.
When the surrounding countries heard the news of the death of the Great Qian, no matter what the relationship was, even if it was a hostile Turk, they also sent people to express their condolences and respect.
For a while, Daqian seemed to have entered a sea of white, and there was white hanging high everywhere, and the atmosphere was condensed and depressing.
The Turks sent a condolence envoy to Youzhou first, greeted Li Feng, and gave Mei Lusi a gift before setting off for the capital of Daqian.
In the Youwang Mansion, Li Feng was dressed in white, looking at the gifts sent by the Turkic envoys, two war horses that were half taller than people, two sets of war armor for horses, a set of iron armor covering the whole body, and several weapons shaped like long hammers.
Zhang Shoulin and Xiang Ran, who were under Li Feng, looked at this set of things and showed surprised looks: "If there is such a cavalry covered in armor, how to deal with it?" ”
Li Feng stepped forward and patted the war horse, he recognized this kind of horse, the Shire horse ridden by the European heavy cavalry, the weight bearing capacity is extremely strong, and only this kind of horse can carry more than 100 catties of people and more than 30 catties of armor.
"This is a set of heavy cavalry equipment, which must have been obtained by the Turks from the Far West. Although the threat is great, they can't afford to raise much. ”
Hearing Li Feng's words, Zhang Shoulin and Xiang Ran were a little relieved, if they faced this kind of opponent, they really didn't know what to do.
Li Feng stepped forward and carefully rubbed his armor, frowning, he didn't expect that the iron-smelting technology in Europe was already so advanced, and it was not much better than the big cadres, if he fought over, it would be really difficult to deal with the heavy cavalry.
"Lord Wang, the Turkic envoy came and went in a hurry, and he didn't elaborate on the origin of this set of things, and the last general thinks that he should interrogate it well."
Li Feng nodded, and returned to the hall in silence to continue to guard the spirit of the emperor.
In the capital of Daqian, Li Yuan regretted that he did not call Li Feng back, because Li Feng's mother, that is, the queen of Li Rong's main palace, was making a big noise with her youngest son Li Tong and asked Li Yuan why he didn't let Li Feng come back.
This is Li Yuan's lord who will be the queen mother even if he ascends the throne, especially her mother's family is very powerful, her ancestor is the founding father, and it is still hereditary, although the power has shrunk greatly compared to the founding of the country, but the influence is still not to be underestimated.
"The queen mother, my father had a decree before his death, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing without announcing it. I also want to see my brother, but I can't change my father's royal decree of Chrysostom. ”
"The ancestral system of Daqian, the princes must attend the funeral of Emperor Daxing, you are violating the ancestral system."
Li Yuan was a little speechless, he couldn't say that his father's order was greater than the ancestral system.
Seeing that Li Yuan couldn't resist, Zhao Yan stood up and said, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is just following the will of the first emperor, and there is nothing at fault. ”
"You mean the mourning family is wrong?"
"The old minister doesn't dare, but the first emperor Chrysostom said that His Majesty is not easy to modify, please understand Your Majesty."
Li Yuan was so moved that he was about to cry, this is the minister of the humerus.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, Zhao Yan deserved to be an old minister in Huan Hai, and the two sentences plucked Li Yuan out of it, making the problem a conflict between the emperor's decree and the ancestral system, but neither of them could speak, and no one could judge whether it was right or wrong.
What's more, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not support the return of King You, so the Queen Mother could only swallow this breath.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was no longer making trouble, Li Yuan regained his majesty and asked someone to help the Queen Mother back, and he continued to preside.
The Queen Mother wanted to continue to make trouble, but thinking that Li Feng was not there, it was useless for her to make trouble, although her position as Queen Mother would not change, but it was not her own son who was the emperor, and she always felt awkward.
After the funeral was short over, Li Yuan called Zhao Yan, didn't mention what happened just now, and asked about Zhao Kang.
"Zhao Aiqing has a son named Zhao Kang, right?"
Zhao Yan nodded, his attitude very respectful.
"He once served as the assassin of Youzhou, I heard that he has made a lot of achievements, but for some reason, he was dismissed at home, what is Ling Lang doing now?"
"Read and write, tirelessly, in order to repay His Majesty's grace again."
Li Yuan was very satisfied: "After I ascended the throne, all industries were waiting to be prospered, and there was a lack of capable officers around me. There is a vacancy in Zhongshulang, let's let Ling Lang take office one day. ”
Zhao Yan knelt down excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”
Li Yuan hurriedly helped Zhao Yan up: "Taiwei Zhao has worked hard all his life for the sake of the great work, and his years are long, so this private kneeling can be avoided in the future." ”
The two of them looked like a sage and a sage, and they were simply envious of others.
At this point, Zhao Kang was re-appointed, and his official position was higher than that of Youzhou Thorn History, and he was the Zhongshulang who entered the decision-making center, and he was also known as the little prime minister to the outside world.
Later, Li Yuan met with the envoys of various countries who came to mourn, and when he saw the Turkic envoys, he thought that Li Feng still had a group of people from the Turkic Ashina clan in his hands, which were the former Turkic royal family.
Because of some of Li Feng's operations, Mei Lusi even withdrew from the army and ignored it, before Li Yuan was the crown prince, Li Rong was responsible for this kind of thing, but now he is the emperor.
Sitting in the position of emperor, Li Yuan knew how dangerous those hundreds of people were in Li Feng's hands.
It was a Turkic royal family, and it had a huge appeal in the Turks, if Li Feng used them to do things, then I don't know how many people could be wooed.
According to the process, the envoy could leave after offering the Bao Memorial gift, but after the Turkic envoy sent it, he was left by Li Yuan to have a meal for a while.
The Turkic envoy was surprised, but stayed.
When it was time to eat, Li Yuan ate with the Turkic envoys, asked about the situation of the Turks, and then transferred to the people of the Ashina clan.
"The last border conflict was caused by the hundreds of people from the Ashina clan, this is an internal matter of your Turks, but I crossed my feet towards King You, have you ever been angry when you Turkic Khan returned?"
The Turkic envoy shook his head: "I don't know, but the Khan has praised King You many times, calling him the snow leopard of the steppe. ”
Li Yuan didn't know what the snow leopard was, but it sounded fierce, Li Feng defeated the Turkic Khan, but he could be praised by the Turkic Khan many times, which shows his strength.
This made Li Yuan extremely angry in his heart, he was the one who should be praised by the enemy country.
Li Yuan said lightly: "But after all, that is an internal matter of your Turks, so let's wait for me to ascend the throne, and give a holy decree to King You, so that he can return the hundreds of people from the Ashina clan." ”
"It's better for you Turks to decide the affairs of your Turks."
The Turkic envoy was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to come to a funeral, and there was an unexpected joy.
Although Mei Lusi has been praising Li Feng and keeping his promise, he has always wanted to kill those hundreds of people from the Ashina clan.
Whether this matter is successful or not, it gave Mei Lusi a reason to send troops again, because this was not his unauthorized sending troops, but the will of the new emperor of Daqian.
