Chapter 167: Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses
In the hall of Guo's mansion, Li Feng and Guo Pengyun were still looking at each other, and they didn't know that Mrs. Guo in the side hall had already favored Li Feng in her heart after listening to Guo Tong's narration.
Guo Pengyun couldn't stand it anymore after staring for a while, his eyes were too dry, and he couldn't help blinking.
"Lord Wang, what's so good about the lower officials, so that you don't let go again and again?"
"Father-in-law, what do you call that? Tong'er and I are talented and beautiful, and we are happy with each other, it is a match made in heaven, is my father-in-law not optimistic about this marriage? ”
If it weren't for his identity, Guo Pengyun would have wanted to scold the street, you have all the fucking rebels, which father can agree to his daughter marrying a thief?
"Lord Wang, I won't rebel with you."
"This time, the son-in-law came only to propose, not for anything else. Why does my father-in-law always mention those who have and don't, the most important thing now is Tong'er. ”
Guo Pengyun really wants to squirt blood, this shameless ghost king.
"Last night, Tong'er and I couldn't help it, we accidentally cooked raw rice and cooked rice, for Tong'er's sake, I think it's better to get married as soon as possible."
Guo Pengyun turned his face angrily and didn't look at Li Feng.
Li Feng said to himself: "But this king has already decided Wenxue's family affairs in Wenzhou, and he has wronged Tong'er, and his position is a little lower."
However, this king has always treated his wife equally, and his official rank is actually the same, which can be assured that his father-in-law can rest assured. ”
"I'm not worried about your grandmother's feet."
Guo Pengyun wanted to scold him like this, but he couldn't help it after all, because his daughter had been ruined by this bastard and couldn't marry anyone else, and he only had one way left, following him into the south wall.
Guo Pengyun, who was forced to be helpless, sighed deeply: "Lord Wang, do you know why I don't want to follow you?" ”
Finally got down to business, Li Feng restrained his smile and straightened his attitude: "I want to hear about it." ”
"The prince can unite with the Turks and seize the eastern capital with the barren land of a state, and he can restrain the Turks who do not know etiquette and shame without committing any crime and fighting with the people. This ability is inferior to the kings, Your Majesty, and even the former emperor. ”
Li Feng thanked him happily, he wouldn't feel happy when others praised him like this, but Guo Pengyun was not an ordinary person.
"My father-in-law knows that I am capable, why is he unwilling to support me?"
"Because the emperor didn't support it."
Guo Pengyun said: "The prince is so capable, the one who knows you best must be the first emperor, the first emperor knows the ability of the prince but still demotes you to Youzhou, and makes His Majesty the prince, and the edict is clearly written, and it is passed on to the prince, not Youwang."
When I know what you are capable of, I wonder why the emperor didn't make you his heir. I can only think of one explanation. Your abilities are strong, but your shortcomings are so great that the Emperor had to sacrifice your strengths. ”
Li Feng smiled slightly: "Li Yuan killed his father, how do you know that the edict is true?" ”
At this time, a voice came from the side: "The edict is true, it is a handwritten letter from the emperor, I saw it with my own eyes on the side." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Feng was silent, Wei Dongting had never told him about this matter, he always thought that the edict was forged by Li Yuan.
Wei Dongting came out of the shadows, and Guo Pengyun hurriedly got up and greeted: "Father-in-law Wei." ”
After Wei Dongting came out, he said: "Before setting off for Youzhou again, the first emperor once asked me, who is more suitable to be the successor of the prince or the puppet emperor, I said the puppet emperor, and the first emperor also agreed with me.
The first emperor thought that the great cadres could not fit the talents of the prince, and if you ascended the throne as the emperor, I was afraid that the great cadres would be dragged into a place of no return, so he wrote an edict and made Li Yuan the emperor. ”
After Wei Dongting finished speaking, he slowly knelt down to Li Feng: "This matter is caused by the old slave, the prince captured the Jingshi, and on the day Li Yuan was killed, the old slave would gouge out his eyes and cut himself to thank the emperor." ”
Li Feng lowered his head and didn't speak, Guo Pengyun didn't dare to speak, this kind of royal secret was not what he should have heard, but he listened to it today, and now there are only two choices left for him, follow Li Feng, or die.
The main hall was quiet for a long time before I heard Li Feng let out a long breath, and then smiled: "In the end, I have been an emperor for so many years, my eyes are vicious, and the evaluation given to me by the first emperor is very pertinent, and I am indeed likely to drag Daqian into destruction."
But that position is not for a father-killing animal.
Gonggong Wei, you are not mistaken, if Li Yuan does not kill his father, from the perspective of the former emperor, he is indeed more suitable than me in that position, and he can steadily let the great cadres continue to operate, but I may not.
So even if you break the city, you don't have to dig out your eyes and cut yourself, you can only play your role if you are alive. ”
Wei Dongting knelt on the ground and bowed his head silently, Li Feng went over to help him up, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't have to say anything at this time, he said everything.
After Wei Dongting disappeared into the darkness, Li Feng looked at Guo Pengyun.
Guo Pengyun slowly knelt down: "The eastern capital protects Guo Pengyun, and is willing to serve the prince as a dog and horse." ”
"Father-in-law is serious, you are my elder, how can you kneel me? I can't afford it, and my father-in-law won't have to kneel in the future. ”
Guo Pengyun was helped up, and just saw Mrs. Guo standing at the door of the main hall with Guo Tong, Guo Tong smiled happily, and Mrs. Guo was also very satisfied.
"Father-in-law, in fact, all wealth, status, and reputation are not as important as family, and family is the most important."
Guo Pengyun pondered the meaning of Li Feng's words, his thoughts were so out of place, but they were thought-provoking, perhaps, what he said was right.
Over there, Guo Tong ran to Guo Pengyun: "Dad, you won't go to Jingshi." ”
"No, I'd better stay with you."
"Dad, there is something I want to confess to you, I took the initiative to go to the prince last night, and I thought of a way to get married."
Guo Pengyun nodded, he thought of it, although Li Feng was shameless, he would not do anything to run to his house in the middle of the night to snatch his daughter.
"Since the raw rice has been cooked and cooked, then you and the prince will choose a day to get married."
Guo Tong hummed softly in shame, and Li Feng took Guo Tong's hand to express his heart: "Father-in-law, I will never let Tong'er suffer." ”
"In addition, the eastern capital protects Guo Pengyun and listens to the seal."
Guo Pengyun subconsciously wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Li Feng: "My father-in-law is standing and listening, this king appoints Guo Pengyun as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, controls the soldiers and horses in the world, and acts on behalf of this king if necessary." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Li Feng said with a smile: "With the current power of this king, he is not qualified to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and there is no corresponding object." But the meaning, my father-in-law just needs to understand.
The soldiers and horses outside the eastern capital also have to ask their father-in-law for help and recruit the rest of the people. ”
"The rest?"
Li Feng snorted, Guo Pengyun didn't ask much, when he was not there, Li Feng really contacted the soldiers and horses outside the city.
Both sides were overjoyed, and after Li Feng finished giving the gift, he pulled Guo Tong back home.
As soon as the two of them returned home, they saw a person standing in the courtyard with a cold eyebrow, staring at Li Feng tigerly.
