Chapter 56 Fooling the Emperor
With 3,000 people, the palace in the capital can't hold so many people at all. In the end, only 200 men and horses were left, and the rest of the men and horses could only be placed in the barracks of the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, but fortunately it was not far from the palace. If something happens, we can provide quick support.
As soon as the family settled down, Xue Baochai and Jia Yingchun came together, and they had been away from home for almost a year, and the second daughter wanted to go back to see her relatives.
Yingchun actually has no relatives, only an unreliable father Jia Yu, and the two sides have no feelings. It's just that the etiquette of this society is like this, no matter how bastard the parents are, they can only serve respectfully when they are children.
Feng Ye waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go." Don't talk about it. "Although everyone who should know knows that he Feng Ye did what happened at the beginning, we can't admit it, right?
Qin Keqing watched from the side and stopped talking, Feng Ye understood that she also wanted to go home to see, but unfortunately she was different from others. Xue Baochai and Jia Yingchun can go back to their parents' home, but she can't. In case someone intercepts him, Feng Ye doesn't have a suitable excuse to ask for someone.
Qin Keqing didn't defend himself, he was just pitiful, looking at Feng Ye with those big watery eyes. Feng Ye couldn't bear it in his heart, but Qin Keqing's matter was very sensitive, and if it spread out, he would be attacked by those princes, for fear that it would bring him a lot of trouble.
He could only shake his head ruthlessly and said, "You can't go back for the time being, and when the spring of next year begins, you can take your parents to live in Liaodong for a while." β
Feng Ye comforted Qin Keqing for a while, and then went into the palace to visit his mother and sister. That's the person he's closest to in this world.
When you enter the palace, of course, you have to meet the emperor first. Feng Ye offered a good horse specially selected from tens of thousands of war horses. Let the emperor be in a good mood.
"Xiao Jiu, the things you did in Liaodong are very good, and I am very pleased. played the majesty of my beam. The emperor said happily.
Feng Ye didn't take advantage of the situation to be modest, and then praised the emperor's leadership and said some clichΓ©s. He didn't want to curry favor with the emperor, let alone compete for the crown.
"Father, today's border army has been completely decayed, and there is no combat effectiveness. deceived the upper and lower, and feared the Hu people like a tiger. In the eyes of the Hu people, Daliang has become a fish belly for what is needed, where is there any majesty at all?
The nine sides are a whole, and although I haven't been anywhere else, I think there are some problems that should be common. The officers and men of Liaodong Town lack training and their combat effectiveness is weak, and I don't think the rest of the Nine Sides will be any better. If this continues, the girder will be very dangerous. Feng Ye said sincerely.
Although he didn't want to compete for the reserve, after all, he had lived in Daliang for so long, and he still had some feelings, and before leaving, he also hoped that Daliang could be stronger. At least it can not be attacked by foreign enemies.
Loyal to the ear, he can say what he wants, as for whether the emperor will dislike him because of this, or even disgust and alienate him. Feng Ye didn't care at all, now that he was powerful, he held the entire fertile land of Liaodong for thousands of miles. You are qualified to tell the truth.
The emperor's face gradually became gloomy, he has been in power for so many years, and he has always believed that this country is under his rule, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the national strength is strong, and it is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire.
According to the courtiers, the battle situation in Liaodong was nothing more than an accidental defeat. As for the Hu people every year, it is just that the court lacks cavalry and cannot catch up with the Hu people. It's not that they can't be beaten.
"Has the situation become so serious?" said the Emperor in disbelief.
Feng Ye nodded and said, "The situation will only be more serious than I said. Father can send someone to secretly go to the Nine Sides to investigate. β
The Emperor just nodded, indicating that he understood.
Feng Ye hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Father, Erchen thinks that although my Daliang lacks horses, it is not without advantages over the Shanghu people. β
"Oh? β
"Father, I have been practicing martial arts all these years, and our Liang's martial arts are really broad and profound, while the Hu people are not civilized, they are just some barbarians.
Erchen wants to gather martial arts masters from all major sects in the world to jointly compile a set of martial arts. Remove the martial arts, simplify the cultivation steps, and then promote it in the army to achieve the goal of strengthening the army.
When the time comes, everyone in our Daliang army will practice martial arts, and one may not be able to reach it, but as long as it can be achieved with one as ten, it will be enough to become a strong army in the world, so that the Hu people dare not look south. β
Feng Ye's expression was flying as he spoke, as if he had seen the day when the Great Liang army was each one of ten and truly dominated the world. The emperor who said it was all interested.
In fact, Feng Ye completely ignored one of the most fundamental problems, poor and rich in martial arts, and martial arts training needs to be supplemented with adequate nutrition. If you don't have enough nutrition, it's just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.
But this set of rhetoric is enough to fool the emperor as a layman, and the emperor has never studied martial arts.
In Feng Ye's heart, the people who compiled the martial arts scriptures were all floating clouds, and it was only serious to bring these martial arts masters to the capital, so that he could collect secret books.
Sending people to these people in the name of the imperial court is much more useful than in his name. Those martial arts masters can ignore his orders from the King of Liaodong, after all, he can't control the heads of others when he gets out of the one-third acre of land in Liaodong.
But the imperial court was different. The masters of this world can also be a hundred enemies, and if they dare to disrespect the orders of the imperial court, the army of the imperial court can instantly call a sect cool.
Seeing the emperor's serious thinking expression, Feng Ye understood that this matter was done. The result doesn't matter, as long as these martial arts masters enter Beijing, Feng Ye's goal will be achieved.
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Feng Ye went to visit his mother Concubine Xiao and his sister Princess Anyang again. Concubine Xiao is living a very comfortable life now, as long as Feng Ye does not fall, no one in the palace will dare to disrespect her. I'm just worried about Princess Anyang, and I haven't found a suitable in-law yet. Feng Ye didn't have much to do about it, after all, he didn't know any young talents.
When Feng Ye returned to the palace, it was already on the lights. Xue Baochai and Jia Yingchun did not come back, saying that they were going to stay at their parents' house for a few days. Feng Ye didn't care either. It's just that the next morning, Jia Yingchun came back crying.
"What's the matter? Has anyone bullied you? Talk to your husband, and your husband will call your shots. Feng Ye hugged Yingchun with one hand, wiped her tears with the other, and asked distressedly.
Yingchun just shook his head, but didn't speak, this temperament is really anxious. Fortunately, there is a maid next to him.
The maid is also a quick mouth, and as soon as Feng Ye asked, she said it all. It turned out that the cause was the last time the Jia family sought office. Because he was rejected by Feng Ye, Jia Yu felt very faceless, this time he went back to Yingchun and went to greet him in the morning, he was scolded by Jia Yu fiercely.
