Chapter 169: New Changes
"Perhaps, we should think differently. ”
Seeing that everyone frowned, Yang Chenglong tentatively put forward his own suggestions.
Xiao Feng's eyes moved, looked at Yang Chenglong with interest, and asked, "Change your perspective?"
"For example, the Song Dynasty!"
Yang Chenglong felt restrained for a while, but now was the time to perform, so he raised his chin slightly, on the one hand, to show his status, and on the other hand, to show respect for the other party.
"Song Dynasty, you mean to ask them for help?"
Xiao Feng felt embarrassed, the matter of the concubine was really disgusting before, so she was unwilling to meet the envoy of the Song Dynasty until now.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chenglong actually made this suggestion?
Ma Yundong even directly expressed his displeasure: "Song Dynasty? Have you forgotten, what did the Song Dynasty do to us? I knew that we were about to go on a northern expedition, and I didn't want to start another incident, so I used this as an excuse to force us to accept the marriage. Now that they hear that we have come to ask for advice, who knows what these people will ask for!"
"Definitely. But at present, more than half of the Mongol army has been lost, and there is a lot of loss within our court, and there is no possibility of fighting again, only the Song Dynasty is safe! Even if we don't ask for help, presumably they will take advantage of this time to want to make trouble. In that case, why not just let us make the request?"
Yang Chenglong didn't care and explained his plans one by one.
"If you can say that the other party's Northern Expedition can be moved, then you can naturally force the Qilu defenders to resist. In this way, the pressure on the Handan rebels will naturally be reduced, and we can also take advantage of this time to help them, and if possible, maybe we can also include Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road. ”
When the people heard this, they thought it was a very good plan.
On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure of the rebels, and on the other hand, it can also expand the territory, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"It's an enticing plan. So how are you going to go about it?"
Xiao Feng groaned, but asked.
This plan is indeed good, but only when the plan is implemented can it have a role, so she is more curious about how Yang Chenglong plans to do it, and then persuade the Song Dynasty to start the Northern Expedition.
"My lord. If this plan is to succeed, in my opinion, it will need the main force!"
Yang Chenglong was a little nervous, first bowed to Xiao Feng, and then dared to say his thoughts, after all, his idea was quite risky.
Xiao Feng replied, "It's okay. You can tell me!"
"That's good. ”
Yang Chenglong took a deep breath and plucked up his courage before he said, "Lord, you also know that the Song Dynasty has always been jealous of you, and has always wanted to crush our army and bring us under its rule. From the previous cut off of grain and grass, to the refusal to allow us to enter Sichuan, and even this horse incident, it is all the same. Since this is the case, then we might as well use this as a condition to let the other party agree to the Northern Expedition!"
"Oh, tell me?" Xiao Feng was interested.
Although Yang Chenglong was excited, he was a little scared when he thought of what he was thinking, and asked in a low voice, "Yes, my lord." It's just that after I say it, I ask the lord not to blame me. ”
"I am not the cruel and tyrannical man, how could I do such an act of obstruction?" Although Xiao Feng felt a little bad, she couldn't refuse in front of everyone.
"My lord, you are also forty-six this year, but you have never had an heir, I think everyone understands that. ”
After seeing Xiao Feng's promise, Yang Chenglong was bold enough to say what he really thought in his heart.
Xiao Feng was suddenly frightened and interrupted directly: "What do you mean?"
Because of her special status, she has always avoided marriage, and even for an emperor, the most important issue of heirs.
It's not that no one mentioned it before, but she scolded her for a while, and even directly cut it off by means of derogatory reprimand and even execution, so the people in the army didn't mention it, but I didn't expect Yang Chenglong to bring it up again today.
"I don't mean anything else, but I just think that if the lord dies alone like this, it will be inappropriate after all!" Yang Chenglong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in fear.
Xiao Feng couldn't hide the rejection in his heart, and directly rebuked: "Lonely and old? I am accompanied by Aiqing, how can I be lonely? What's more, even after a hundred years, with my merits in recreating China, anyone who wants to be in the government has to be sacrificed, how can it be regarded as no one to sacrifice? You only look at the heirs, but you limit your gaze!"
"The benevolence of the Lord is naturally rare in the world. ”
Yang Chenglong bowed down and did not hesitate to praise himself, if he made the person in front of him angry, even if he had Xiao Jingmao's recommendation, he would have to eat ashes.
"But in the mortal world, there are mostly mediocre people, otherwise how could the Song Dynasty be so dim-witted? Let those mediocre people shamelessly occupy high positions, leading to today's situation. It was precisely for this reason that his subordinates thought that if the lord used the excuse of praying for an heir, perhaps the other party would agree to the Northern Expedition. ”
"Pray for an heir?" Xiao Fengqi said.
If it was like Zhao Mengfu's marriage contract before, she would naturally refuse it directly, but if it was an heir, it was not so difficult to accept.
After all, since the uprising, Xiao Feng has recognized a lot of godsons and goddaughters.
Yang Chenglong closed his head and replied, "That's right. If His Majesty asks the Song Dynasty for an heir in the name of his advanced age and in order to relieve his descendants, I think the other party will agree. After all, for them, this is really a pawn meddling in the internal affairs of our army, so why not?"
"That's not bad. ”
Xiao Feng thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
This kind of praying for an heir is not uncommon, and it was quite popular during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it can be said to be something similar to a proton.
However, this is a little more complicated, after all, for the Song Dynasty, an heir who can rightfully inherit King Xiao Fengjin and even the Red Fengjun is also what they urgently need.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
After giving the order, Xiao Feng also let everyone leave, and those people also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they understood this matter, and they also looked sideways at Yang Chenglong.
can solve this matter, presumably Yang Chenglong will definitely be able to soar in the future.
And Xiao Feng waited until everyone left, and then stroked his forehead, and sighed: "In the blink of an eye, I am already in my forties, if everyone else is afraid that they will have granddaughters." Alas, I didn't expect that I would one day become a mother? I just hope that fellow is a quiet lord and will not do anything dangerous. ”
After all, although that guy is essentially a proton, he still has the name of Xiao Feng's son after all, and there will still be people who tend to be inflammatory, and this is not something that Xiao Feng can stop.
I hope that the other party's proton can meet my requirements!

Lin'an City.
In the Qinzheng Palace, all the ministers looked at the empty dragon chair, and they were all nervous.
You must know that an hour has passed since the stipulated hour, which makes them start to worry, whether Zhao Yun has some problems, otherwise why hasn't he shown up until now?
Standing in it, Chen Yizhong felt that he was a little fluttering.
When he overthrew Ding Daquan and Uncle Xie Fang, he also participated, so he was also favored by Zhao Yun and promoted at that time, although he was just an unknown person, and he had no merits, but being able to see the demeanor of these court officials in person still made Chen Yizhong feel a little flustered.
"It's just that why hasn't the official family come up yet?"
Although this is the case, Chen Yizhong saw that Zhao Yun had never shown up, and he began to think about it.
No, immediately someone couldn't help it.
"Why hasn't the official family shown up yet? Has he forgotten the events of this morning?"
Standing here, Li Zengbo couldn't wait, there were still many things that had not been dealt with in the court, but Zhao Yun never appeared, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"It's not that you don't know, because of Zhao Mengfu's matter, the official family is really angry, and he hasn't recovered until now. If you are so impatient, can't you just wait? Or do you think that Your Majesty will not be able to recuperate a little and regain his vitality?" Jia Rudao sneered in his mouth, and there was also provocation in his eyes.
"Jia Rudao!"
Li Zengbo ignored it, but the one next to him couldn't help it.
I saw that the man did not hide his disgust, and shouted directly: "Now that the Red Phoenix Army has successfully launched its Northern Expedition, its momentum is like the sky, and the Central Plains are also frequently uprisings, and there is a great tendency to burn the plains." If we don't react and sit back and watch the land of Qilu be occupied by the Chifeng army, I am afraid that when the time comes, the monarch and the minister will be exchanged, and the master and servant will be reversed, it is also very possible. Compared with the general trend of the world, how important is the matter of the horse?"
Probably dissatisfied with Zhao Yun's behavior, this person scolded as if he hated iron but not steel.
"The official family hasn't come until now, is it possible that they have forgotten this great Song Jiangshan?"
"Good, what a loyal man. But I want to ask you, this Great Song Dynasty is important, isn't the body of the official family important?" Contrary to the man's expectations, Jia Rudao clapped his hands, looking like he should be applauding the man's words, but when others listened to them, they felt full of sarcasm.
The man was speechless for a while, and looked at Jia Qi angrily: "But do you know that the Mongols have now been defeated by the Red Feng Army, and the heart of its leader, Xiao Feng, can be said to be obvious. If I don't want to come up with a solution, will I sit back and watch me be destroyed by that guy?"
"Mu Zicai!"
When Li Zengbo heard this, his eyes opened and he glanced at the other party with anger: "Don't say it again!"
"But Lord Lee. You also saw that Xiao Feng usurped the throne and celebrated in Chang'an, but he didn't inform us. Zhao Mengfu was even imprisoned, and Cao Fu was directly executed without asking! Such an act is really not a courtier. Mu Zicai felt a little difficult to accept and asked.
"You should know that she is the king of Jin, and naturally has the right to dispose of her subordinates, so why should we accuse?" Li Zengbo shook his head, but he was unwilling to continue to dwell on it.
It was the ministers of the court, who saw that Mu Zi had just poked this matter out, and they also lowered their heads with shame.
Everyone knows that the Chifeng Army has become a different line, and the internal officials are all self-reliant, which is by no means the same as the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty, although Xiao Feng is added to the King of the Song Dynasty and Jin, but this is just a false name, not only is there no Yulu, but even the reward that should be awarded during the celebration on weekdays is not there, it can be said that there is such an unworthy prince tomb in the world.
They also tried to control Xiao Feng and transfer him into Lin'an.
But since Xiao Feng left Lin'an, no matter what the reason, he always refused, which made them feel extremely troubled.
Mu Zicai's eyes widened, but he was still unwilling, and shouted at the ministers present.
"That's why we have to take the initiative and completely suppress them so that they can't threaten us. Otherwise, then Xiao Feng will destroy us sooner or later. You must know that even the Mongol army is folded in her hands, and if it were us, who else would be able to resist?"
"That's just as well!"
When everyone heard this, they didn't look at each other.
"But how do we act?"
Thinking about it, they found that they had no way to dismantle this existence that threatened them.
This is not a slash!
Unlike the Rebellion of the Eight Kingdoms, Xiao Feng did not have much contact with the Song Dynasty, and the people under his rule were even more hostile to the Song Dynasty.
Nor the suppression of rebellion!
The land under the command of the Red Phoenix Army was all attacked from Mongolia, and it had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, and the army and those ordnance used were all trained by themselves, and even the officials responsible for managing the local area were also trained by themselves, and the Song Dynasty did not play any role.
If you count it, the relationship between the two is similar to that between Shu Han and Cao Wei, although there is the possibility of attachment in a short time, but in the long run, the two are bound to become fire and water, and there will be a war one day.
And at this time, Zhao Yun also walked up slowly under the support of Dong Songchen, and the ministers looked and felt that the emperor in front of them seemed to have regained his previous appearance, his waist was high, and his cheeks were flushed, although all the ministers smelled a trace of fat powder, but they all closed their mouths in unison.
Even if it's just a disguise, as long as it can calm the people's minds, it will be enough for them to ignore the matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you talking about?"
Seeing that everyone was all looking like they were smelling of gunpowder, Zhao Yun felt uncomfortable, but he still bent his body and asked.
"Your Majesty!"
Before everyone could react, Na Jia seemed to have already stepped out and said directly: "We are discussing the success of the Red Phoenix Army's Northern Expedition?"
"The Northern Expedition was successful?"
Hearing the news, Zhao Yun's face became much paler, probably because he was too surprised, and he couldn't help but involve the skin, so that the fat powder on it fell layer by layer, revealing the sickly skin below.
Li Zengbo hurriedly lowered his head, pretending that he didn't see it, and replied in a low voice: "That's right." That's why I'm here to ask Your Majesty what we should do to stop the Red Phoenix Army from expanding further!"
