Chapter Thirty-Six: The mountain wind gradually rises, the clouds will rain, and the hidden waves will swell and the sea will rise

Shenchuan City, a southwestern province, is the palace of the Marquis of Weihu.

Feng Yang was dressed in official clothes and walked slowly. Beside him, Luan Ying and Feng Ziyue and several Feng generals followed.

"Where is the Pegasus Messenger who came to deliver the news?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, now outside the lobby of the inner mansion. Fengzi bowed down and replied, although he was Fengyang's only son, but in order to avoid suspicion, he still called Fengyang by Hou Ye in front of people.

"Huh?" Feng Yang stopped and looked at Feng Ziyue, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

The Weihu Hou Mansion is noble and extraordinary, solemn and majestic, since ancient times, only the blood pigeon secret letter has the right to enter the inner mansion, how can a Pegasus post man also lead to the lobby, this move exceeds the rules, has violated the etiquette system. Feihuwei was in charge of guarding the Weihu Hou Mansion, and Feng Yang obviously asked Feng Ziyue to give himself an explanation.

"Master Hou, this Pegasus post man claims to have an edict from the emperor and wants to hand over the report to you personally. The last general had no choice but to lead him out of the lobby door. Fengzi said with his fists clenched.

Feng Yang snorted coldly and said, "The one above seems to be choking on my Feng family, this is testing the bottom of my Feng Yang." Okay, since that's the case, then I'll give him this face!"

Emperor Zhengyang's move was obviously to break the rule that only the secret letter of the blood pigeon could directly enter the inner mansion, which was not a small embarrassment to the Feng family. Everyone around him is Feng Yang's henchmen, in the Feng family, Zhengyang's suppression and targeting of the Feng family have long been known, and Feng Yang does not need to shy away from it, and he is obviously very disdainful of Emperor Zhengyang's move in his words.

A general behind him sneered: "Our Emperor Majesty likes to engage in some small conspiracies and small means. Judging from the general, this move is really difficult to be elegant, and it loses the bearing of the king of a country. ”

"Hahaha. Everyone present burst into laughter when they heard this.

Although Luan Ying smiled on her face, she didn't think so in her heart. As the king of a country, Zhengyang has been educated by the royal system since he was a child, and has a deep knowledge of the government and the opposition, the political situation, and the military. Since it can be called a generation of Ming Jun, its methods will naturally not be as naïve as everyone says. Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that he was above the court before, in front of hundreds of officials, and clearly indicated that there was a kennel in the southwest, which was a stroke of genius.

Outsiders may not know the inside story, but as the counselor next to Feng Yang, Luan Ying knows the reason for this matter. Zhengyang set up a secret kennel in the southwest to secretly monitor the Feng family, and this matter has already been detected by the secret agents of the Ministry of Earth. The Royal Dog Spy is certainly powerful, but the Feng Family's Five Elements Secret Department is not in vain. It's just that Feng Yang is a courtier, and this matter is not easy to reveal openly, so he secretly sent someone to tell the fourth brother Feng Mao in Beijing about the kennel, and then let Zhengyang know about it through the mouth of "Princess Cangping" Xiao Xu.

This move can be regarded as saving face for Zhengyang, but it also grasps a small handle of Zhengyang. The matter of dog spies was already rejected by the ministers of the DPRK and China. The ministers thought that this move was contrary to holy virtue, and the emperor was so distrustful of his ministers and suspicious that it would lead to disharmony among the monarchs and ministers and the instability of the government for a long time. Zhengyang was forced to be helpless, and on the surface, he had already reduced the scale of the canine spy several times, but secretly transferred the canine spy agency underground.

If the Feng family brought the matter of a kennel in the southwest to the brim, it would definitely make Zhengyang fall into the outpouring indignation of the ministers again. However, Zhengyang made this matter public, and this move seemed to be sunny and bright, so that the ministers did not know what he meant, and they guessed a lot, and they couldn't see through whether he believed in the Feng family or was suspicious. Invisibly, even the elimination and the fight dissolved the blow of the Feng family's latent abyss.

His move today seems to be to humiliate the Feng family and humiliate Feng Yang, which seems to be angering him, but it is actually a hint and warning to Feng Yang's previous measures, and it is also to let the southwest ministers feel the imperial prestige and deviate from the Feng family.

However, Feng Yang is not an easy person, although he knows Zhengyang's true intentions, he pretends to be a gesture, and regards Zhengyang's implicit actions as a child's gambling play, and he forgives it generously. If this matter spreads, it will definitely make the major forces in the southwest secretly disdain what Zhengyang has done, and respect the strength of Feng Yang.

Zhengyang and Feng Yang are secretly competing this time, just like two peerless swordsmen fighting each other, the two are amazing and gorgeous, and each performs a stunt, but only the other party can read the mystery of each other's swords, and others are just ignorant, just open their eyes to see the excitement.

The group talked and laughed, and followed the wind to the inner hall.

Near the lobby, I saw the Pegasus Messenger standing in the courtyard outside the door, guarded by the Flying Tiger guards all around. Everyone stopped laughing and followed the wind into the lobby.

Feng Yang sat behind the desk in a robe, Feng Ziyue and Luan Ying stood on both sides of the table, and the rest were divided into two teams to stand in the center of the lobby.

Feng Yang straightened his sleeves and nodded slightly towards Fengzi.

"It is rumored that Pegasus has entered the interior to see him. Feng Ziyue saw Feng Yang's signal, and immediately shouted loudly.

Not long after, the Pegasus post man came in under the guidance of the two Flying Tiger Guards, knelt down respectfully, held the newspaper high with both hands, and said: "Pegasus Station in Beijing, I am specially ordered by the emperor to send the palace newspaper to the Hou Ye, please take a look at the Hou Ye." ”

Feng Yang raised his hand and said, "Your envoy, please get up." Ziyue, present the Di report. ”

Fengzi stepped forward to take the newspaper, inspected it slightly, and handed it to Fengyang.

The Pegasus officer kowtowed and thanked him, and stood up, neither humble nor arrogant, as if he had seen the world.

Feng Yang took the report and said, "Your envoy has worked hard, go down to rest, Ziyue, look at the reward!"

Feng Ziyue took out ten taels of silver, and the Pegasus post man thanked him again, and went down with the Flying Tiger Guard.

Feng Yang shook his hand and pulled out the newspaper, unfolded it, glanced at ten lines, and hurriedly read it, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Master Hou, what did the Di report say?" asked a general in the hall. This person has a black face like charcoal, beard and sideburns, and a waist like an iron tower, and at first glance he is a fierce general in the army. It is Zhu Guangdong, the commander of the Blood Tiger Army in the Five Armies of the Tiger, who is good at using a pair of iron sledgehammers and has the courage of ten thousand people. Don't look at this person's vulgar appearance, but he is like a god, full of scheming, loyal to Feng Yang, and deeply trusted by Feng Yang.

Feng Yang put down the Di Bao and stood up, with a little embarrassment in his tone: "The Di Bao said that Hong Hui, the generalissimo of the Southern Qi Dynasty soldiers and horses, vomited blood and fainted a few days ago, and was seriously ill and bedridden, which seems to be no good. ”

As soon as Feng Yang said it, the whole hall was shocked.

Southern Qi Honghui, known as the "Great Power Pillar", is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses in the world of Southern Qi. This person is familiar with the art of war, the chest is hidden in the ravine, the emperor has a way, when Tiande, the Great Wei, the Southern Qi Three Kingdoms War, this person scolded Fang Xuan, vertical and horizontal, and tried to protect the territory of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the Great Wei was the father of the Tiger Hou Fengyang, Feng Kaige, and the former national teacher of Tiande was called the three major military gods at that time. However, a few years later, Feng Kaige and Na Bo died of injuries and illnesses, and only Hong Hui was left in the world among the three major military gods. Over the past decades, after several generations of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Hong Hui has done his best to guard the gate of the Southern Qi Dynasty in person, and has always been praised by the people. Even if Li Yu, the contemporary monarch of Southern Qi, was incompetent and incompetent, liking literature and hating martial arts, because of Hong Hui's presence, he could ensure that the territory of Southern Qi was safe and secure from the invasion of Tiande and Great Wei.

But now Hong Hui is seriously ill, according to what Di Bao said, I am afraid that time is running out, according to the virtue of Emperor Li Yu of Southern Qi, the balance between the three kingdoms may be difficult to maintain, and next, there will be a war between the three kingdoms!

For a while, in the lobby, there were different opinions and discussions.

Feng Yang stretched out his hand and tapped on the table, stopped everyone's discussion, and said: "What the Di newspaper said said that Hong Hui was seriously ill, but it was just an eagle to probe the wind, and it has not been confirmed. But if this is true, then it will be a big deal, and we must take precautions in advance!"

"What Hou Ye said is very true, Tiande's wolf is ambitious, and we are adjacent to Tiande in the southwest, so we have to guard against it at this time. Zhu Guangdong agreed.

Feng Yang nodded and said, "Pass on my order, order the Xingfeng troops to be on guard from today, and each battalion of the border army will set up additional sentry posts to double the number of horses." In addition, the officials of the Zhucheng Provinces inspected the warehouses, counted the materials, and dispatched grain and grass. From now on, all counties and cities in our southwest must be put into preparation, and military orders must be issued and soldiers and horses must be set up, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Obey the orders of the Hou Ye!"

The generals clenched their fists and obeyed the order, and scattered, leaving only Feng Yang, Feng Ziyue and Luan Ying in the lobby.

When the crowd was about to leave, Feng Yang's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Ziyue, you immediately sent someone to secretly inquire about the Five Elements Secret Department, Nanqi Honghui is seriously ill, why don't they have any news? My Feng family has invested a lot in Nanqi, and that's how they do things? This time, the Nanqi Ministry, fined half a year as a warning, if there is a recurrence, they will be severely punished! The tone is stricter! In addition, let them make every effort to find out Honghui's current situation, and give me an answer within ten days, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, father!" Fengzi clenched his fists and walked away.

Feng Yang's eyes shone with a cold light, and he said to Luan Ying: "Now that Great Wei is anxious because of the affairs of the Daomen, if Southern Qi Honghui is really seriously ill, the wild wolf in the south will definitely not be able to hold it!"

Luan Ying nodded and said: "Tiande is still martial, Southern Qi is weak, this battle is inevitable." I just don't know if this wolf is still as arrogant as his father back then, daring to fight with one enemy and two at the same time!"

Feng Yang sneered: "Without Honghui in Nanqi, it is a piece of scattered sand." You may not know that the Southern Qi Dynasty has actually accumulated disadvantages for a long time, in order to resist the intrusion of Tiande and the Great Wei, Hong Hui lasted several years and promoted a group of young generals who were young and brave and dared to fight. These people have grown up in the war and have held great power, and most of them are tigers and wolves. Therefore, now the Southern Qi army is full of mountains and factions. Hong Hui is alive, and with his prestige, he can still dominate the wolves and work together to the outside world. Now that Hong Hui is seriously ill, these people will inevitably compete with each other for power and profit, and the internal fighting is endless, which just gives Tiande an opportunity to take advantage of! Therefore, Nanqi is not a good idea, and there are only two real opponents in this war, that is, Great Wei and Tiande!"

Luan Ying was puzzled: "Hong Hui's move is not shallow, he is a hero, how could he not see this in the first place?"

Feng Yang sneered: "At that time, the national strength of the Southern Qi Dynasty was declining, and the territory was still difficult to preserve. My father once commented on this person: If you are in a prosperous and powerful country, you will dominate the world! But Nanqi is like a rotten boat, which has been dilapidated. The building is about to fall, the building is about to fall, Hong Hui alone, no matter how powerful he is, what can he do?"

Feng Yang paused for a moment, and then said, "Actually, Hong Hui is not defenseless. Since he became the marshal of soldiers and horses, he has to do everything himself, and he will not hesitate to lose his reputation and hold on to power, because he is afraid that his wolves will eat meat and get fat. This time, he was seriously ill and vomited blood, which may not be due to overwork. It's just that it's pitiful that such a peerless general was dragged down by a wrecked boat that was doomed to sink, it's really embarrassing!"

Luan Ying muttered: "Then in this way, the defeat of Southern Qi is inevitable. If Li Yu wants to save the throne, he can only ask for help from Great Wei, which is like two fierce tigers fighting among the sheep, no matter who wins and who loses, it can only be the sheep that suffers!"

Feng raised his head and said: "If this is the case, for our Feng family, this war is both a crisis and an opportunity!"

Luan Ying thought for a moment, his face was shocked, he lowered his body and asked, "Isn't it true that Master Hou already has a layout in Nanqi?"

Feng Yang glanced at Luan Ying approvingly, revealing an unfathomable smile.
