Chapter XXVII: The Heirs
These words, in the whole hall, were silent.
Since fleeing south, they have abandoned the Central Plains for too long and too long, long enough to make the people of the Central Plains forget the glory of the Song Dynasty in the past, and only know that they are struggling under the alien race, just fighting for the last bit of survival.
And at this time, only the Red Phoenix Army, and only Xiao Feng stood up and lit a light for them.
The light was faint, but it was unusually clear, letting them know that somewhere in the world, there were people who were thinking about them and trying to survive.
Standing here, Liumengyan suddenly felt as if he was in the abyss, and his helpless gaze swept over all the people in the hall, from Zhao Yun, to Zheng Qingzhi, then Zhang Keda, and finally to the ministers in the palace.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes helplessly, he also understood that since the Song Dynasty moved south, he had lost the hearts of the people of the Central Plains for too long, so long that these people would not regard him as the same thing at all; Zheng Qingzhi also turned his face sideways, and he was full of disdain at all, the way of science is to help the world as the priority, but Liumengyan is extremely narrow-minded, public and private, and not a person who can be cultivated; Zhang Keda simply hid in the shadow of the palace, he was originally an outsider, so he naturally had a reason to stay out of the matter; the other ministers also avoided his pleas one by one, and ignored them at all.
Fu You looked at Xiao Feng, Liumengyan's face was full of iron, and his eyes were full of resentment.
Xiao Feng shook his head and sighed a little: "You, let's go." ”
"Poof!"
With one mouth, countless blood splattered out, staining the entire hall red.
Like a rag, Liumengyan fell to the ground, and the whole person was groggy.
"Hurry up and get him down, don't leave any sick behind. ”
Zhao Yun waved his hand, and immediately ordered the attendant to lift Liu Mengyan up and send him to the imperial doctor, so that he could treat his injuries, and looked at Xiao Feng, the complicated color in his eyes flickered, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "This woman really deserves to be a person who has come out of the troubled times, just this demeanor makes people feel pressured." ”
At the beginning, he originally planned to use the power of the three earth immortals to force the other party to give up the idea of sealing the king, but under such pressure, Xiao Feng did not use the technique in the body, and only relied on the technique of lips and tongue to make Liumengyan vomit blood and be injured.
Such a demeanor is quite the majesty of Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang to death in front of the battle.
"Commander Xiao!"
Zheng Qingzhi saw that the situation was becoming more and more solemn, and walked out from the side: "Your conditions, we have not discussed. But I did not have such a custom in the court, and it would not have disturbed the ministers, and I was constipated. Bowing down to all the ministers present, he apologized even more apologetically: "I'm really sorry that I didn't tell the ranks." ”
"Zheng Xianggong. It's really not interesting for you to tell us?"
"Although Commander Xiao is a woman, if he can be loyal to the country, he can also be called a generation of heroes. ”
"Of course, the fact that this king is too sudden, if you don't discuss it with us, how will you act?"
“......”
The ministers were also disturbed, and all the doubts in their hearts were expressed.
"Miss Xiao, please don't take it to heart about Liumengyan's offense. ”
Zhao Yun saw that everyone's emotions gradually calmed down under Zheng Qingzhi's appeasement, but Xiao Feng kept his mouth shut at the moment, and knew that if he didn't speak, he was afraid that he would be looked down upon, so he immediately complained: "As for the matter of sealing the king, the people in the court are all fierce now, I am the lord of a country, and I can't assert myself." I have to get the consent of all the ministers before I can do your request! I wonder if you can accept it?"
Xiao Feng bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and sympathetic to the minister, how dare the little woman speak in vain? I just don't know, what suggestions do the ministers have?" glanced sideways at the ministers of the court, her expression was already full of inquiry, obviously she also wanted to know what the attitude of this group of scholars who really managed the entire Song Dynasty empire was on this matter.
"I forgive you for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I don't know if the king you are asking for is a real seal or a false seal?"
A scholar stood up from the queue and asked Xiao Feng.
This person's name is Jiang Wanli, who is a person from the Southern Kang Army, who is known as a wise man among the scholars, and is known as "the instrument is clear, the style of discussion, and the time is tilted." "Since entering the court as an official, his life has been very bumpy, but it can be regarded as famous, even if it is the current sage Zhao Yun, he also trusts him a lot, and now he has stepped into the Danding, just because he is too old, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the realm in this life and achieve the body of the earth immortal.
"I have a total of 100,000 armored soldiers under my command!"
Xiao Feng inadvertently revealed a number, which immediately made many ministers present gasp, and she always said with a flat expression: "In order for them to have a stable place to live, it is natural to have a real seal." ”
Since the Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the recurrence of the Eight Kings, the royal family of the previous dynasties only gave the title, and there was no corresponding fiefdom, so as not to have a huge power under the king, so as to threaten the emperor's right to rule, this is a false feud;
It is precisely because of this that many scholars and doctors in the court and the central government quarreled over it, and even almost pulled out arrows because of this.
Jiang Wanli continued to ask, "Jingzhao Mansion?"
"That's right!"
Xiao Feng nodded, and there was a hint of annoyance: "I can only hate the northwest of this place, which is the Mongolian army, in order to be able to expel it, our army has really paid a great sacrifice." Otherwise, how can Hanzhong be recovered from the opponent's hands?"
Seeing that the Song Dynasty had not been involved, the ministers of the rank were even more angry and spit out the turbidity in their mouths, and they felt the suffocation in their chests, and they recovered a little.
If that fief was in the territory of the Song Dynasty, then they wouldn't accept anything!
Jiang Wanli also sighed from his words, and immediately apologized: "Please apologize for mentioning the pain in Commander Xiao's heart." It's just that I still have one more thing I want to ask. ”
"Naturally, you can continue to ask. ”
Xiao Feng held his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.
"That's good!" Jiang Wanli stared at Xiao Feng with a hint of inquiry, and asked, "Dare to ask Commander Xiao if he has a marriage match?"
Xiao Feng couldn't help frowning, with a faint hint of rejection, and replied: "Since the incident, I have been working on the affairs of the army, and as for the matter of marriage, I have long been abandoned, so I have not been a good match yet!" Since the incident, she has long been infertile due to the influence of the practice of exercises, and she has not considered offspring since then, and then after she became close to Xiao Yue and Xiao Xing, she gave up her marriage plan and devoted all her energy to government affairs.
"Then do you still have heirs in your clan?" Jiang Wanli continued to ask, just like checking the household registration.
Although Xiao Feng was repulsed, he didn't hide it much, and replied: "I have my own loneliness, but fortunately, I was taken in by the palace master of Zhenze Palace, and I only grew up." There is no so-called clan. ”
To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of a strong clan to rely on, Xiao Feng would not have set the election system of the General Assembly.
"It's good over there. Jiang Wanli breathed a sigh of relief again, but his expression was still solemn, and he continued to ask: "As for this last question, I am afraid that I will be slightly offended, and I ask Commander Xiao to forgive me." ”
Xiao Feng bowed slightly, and agreed: "It's okay, you can continue to ask." If I can answer, I can continue to answer. ”
"That's good!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Wanli's expression was restrained, he looked at Xiao Feng quite solemnly, and continued to ask: "Presumably Commander Xiao should also know that life and death are in the sky. And you are a battle-hardened and should understand the impermanence of fate. If your life is gone, who will inherit you?"
"This?"
Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, she also considered the issue of the heir, but looking at the Chifeng Army, although Xiao Yue and Xiao Xing are powerful, they each have flaws, and they really can't take charge of the entire Chifeng Army, Yu Wenwei's talent is naturally enough, but he joined halfway, if his strength is still powerful, it is obviously difficult to suppress the field at all, which convinces everyone in the Chifeng Army.
As for Cheng Feng, Yang Hui, Ma Yundong and others, their strength is also a problem, they have not really grown up at all, and they cannot confront Mongolia at all.
Counting up, in the entire Red Phoenix Army, there was no one who could replace Xiao Feng.
Jiang Wanli continued to ask, "That's right. At that time, who should inherit the king?"
Secretly making a decision, Xiao Feng took a deep breath, and immediately complained: "If I die, the prince will be automatically revoked and will not inherit." ”
"No inheritance?
Jiang Wanli was surprised for a moment, and looked at Xiao Feng in disbelief.
Zhao Yun was also surprised, looked at Xiao Feng in astonishment, and asked, "Are you sure that as long as you are a lifelong knight?"
Although both of these are princes, but the lifetime title is limited to one person, once a person dies, the title will disappear naturally, but the hereditary replacement can be inherited from generation to generation, and it will not reduce the rank, of course, there is a third way of inheritance, that is, the secondary inheritance law, although it can also inherit the title, but can only inherit the next level, the upper level still cannot be inherited.
After all, in this medieval era, there was still the idea of a person becoming an immortal chicken dog ascending to heaven, and the so-called grace system was even more popular.
The reason why the clans in the Song Dynasty advocated the grace and shade system was also to take this opportunity to allow those who could not become bureaucrats by means of the imperial examination to have a channel for promotion, and then be able to promote their relatives.
This practice was not uncommon in the Song Dynasty.
However, Xiao Feng just smiled and said loudly: "That's right. Since I have dedicated this body to the Chifeng Army, I naturally have no other thoughts. As for the offspring, it's up to them to decide. ”
