Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 387 Military Merit
Second Miss Feng kept herself locked in the house after she came back from the palace, at least she wanted to let the Empress Dowager know that she was thinking behind closed doors.

A month has passed, and there is still a record of participating in the Feng family in the court. Cao Ben, who came back from Taozhou, got together with some civil officials all day long, talking about it, and even told about the tragic situation of being held hostage at that time , His belt was taken away, his trousers fell off, and he was humiliated in front of the whole city. He wanted to kill himself by biting his tongue, but he survived in the end.It is easy for people to want to die, but it is difficult to live with humiliation. If he does not die, he will always remember this day, and he must seek justice for the people of Taozhou.

It's a very embarrassing thing, but when Cao Ben said it himself, it didn't seem ridiculous, but it was admirable. It really is true that as long as you have a thick skin, you are not afraid of driving yourself to a dead end.

Moreover, Ms. Feng Er also heard that this Cao Ben has submitted a memorial requesting to be transferred to Taozhou. Cao Ben obviously has not discussed with the Grand Master. He was determined to go back to Taozhou. In order to prove his determination, he even planned to move his family there first, and said to everyone he met every day that he missed the spring plowing in Taozhou this year, which may be a great regret in his life.

Uncle Feng came back from Fujian, and when he heard that his sister had been punished, he immediately told her about these things.

"I don't know what's wrong with each of them," Feng Chenghai said, "It's fine if Xie Chen doesn't return to Beijing, but Cao Ben wants to go to work when he comes back. There was Song Guangyan before. Is there anyone in Taozhou?" What's good, let them rush over one by one."

This is what Miss Feng Er was curious about.

What is there, or who is leading them?

Second Miss Feng didn't do anything these days, but asked her father to order the most trustworthy person to go to Taozhou to investigate thoroughly, starting with Sun Ji's case, to see what other inside information they didn't know besides Zhao Jingyun.

Didn't expect to actually find something.

Feng Chenghai looked at his sister.

Miss Feng Er raised her eyes: "Brother, are you afraid that I will be sad?" She knew that her elder brother must have seen the letter sent back by the eyeliner from her father.

Feng Chenghai hurriedly laughed and said: "It's nothing. Who doesn't know that all the women in the boudoir envy my sister, and the children of high-ranking officials and noble families all want to come and ask for marriage."

Speaking of this, Feng Chenghai changed his voice: "If you want to blame, you can blame that Xiao Yu. If it wasn't for him, how could you miss my sister's marriage."

Second Miss Feng didn't speak, Feng Chenghai coughed: "Someone has to find out more, maybe that Zhao Luoyang has nothing to do with Xiao Yu."

There is a portrait of a peasant girl on Miss Feng Er's table. The girl has a simple bun, not even a hairpin on her head, and wears a coarse dress. The smile and the dimples on the cheeks make people feel close to her when they look at it.

Miss Feng Er was sure that Zhao Luoyang might be better-looking than this portrait, and the Feng family's eyeliner was afraid of offending her, so they would try to make it as mediocre as possible.

Second Miss Feng said: "If I hadn't checked that family before, I wouldn't have found out so quickly." Xiao Yu took good care of that family, but if the Feng family wanted to investigate, they would definitely find clues.

She didn't think of it before because she didn't pay attention to that family, because when Xiao Yu was alive, she didn't go to Zhao's house again.

Now it seems that she may be wrong.

Xiao Yu's people and Zhao's family were both in Taozhou. It couldn't be a coincidence. When Sun Ji's accident happened, the Zhao family's people just walked to Min County. Not to mention, when they encountered bandits on the road, And Nie Shuang to help.

It was clear that when Xiao Yu was alive, he asked his subordinates to take care of that family.

Miss Feng Er found that she had not been able to see Xiao Yu clearly until now. She thought that when he only cared about power and interests, he was so kind to the Zhao family who took care of him.

What is so special about the Zhao family?The girl from the Zhao family is nothing more than a peasant woman, no matter how powerful she is, she just does some business and leads people to cultivate the fields.

The Feng family investigated Zhao Luoyang very carefully. After Zhao Luoyang arrived in Taozhou, he seemed to help Zhao Jingyun deal with Sun Ji and her family's steward. Most of the time he was doing small business in order to have enough food.

It's ridiculous.

That Zhao Luoyang is obviously different from her, but she has to worry about Zhao Luoyang.

Feng Chenghai still wanted to persuade his own sister, but Second Miss Feng raised her head and said, "Brother, I was reprimanded by the empress dowager when I entered the palace this time, so I figured it out."

Feng Chenghai didn't know what his sister was referring to, so he didn't want to interrupt.

Second Miss Feng continued: "It's useless to rely on anyone, even my aunt...everyone is fine when it's good, but if something goes wrong, I don't know who will be blamed for it."

The queen mother reprimanded her for not knowing the severity and punishing those who took refuge in Feng's family at will, but the queen mother is not like this, the uncle's mansion is simply a pawn in the queen mother's hand, which can be sacrificed at any time.

Feng Chenghai looked out warily: "Sister..."

"Don't worry," Miss Feng Er said, "Everyone in my yard can be trusted, and we won't spread the word."

Feng Chenghai breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered what his sister said: "Sister, what do you mean..."

"The uncle's mansion depends on my brother," Miss Feng Er looked at Feng Chenghai, "my father is old, and the uncle's mansion has successors, so those officials who follow us will continue to serve us wholeheartedly. While the outside is still guessing, the empress dowager The emperor will appoint me as the empress, and my brother must hold on to the power and at least make some achievements to be convincing."

Feng Chenghai followed the path of a military general. Although he had made some achievements in Fujian, they were just small battles, far from Xiao Yu's. That's why after Xiao Yu's death, the Feng family couldn't take control of Xiao Yu's place. In terms of military power, Feng Chenghai did not have much military merit.

"Brother is going to Taozhou this time," Second Miss Feng said, "not only to go, but also to win the battle. Bring the Feng family's elite, equip with military resources, weapons, food and grass, and tidy up Taozhou in one fell swoop."

Feng Chenghai looked at his sister in surprise.

Second Miss Feng said: "Wang Zeng has made arrangements. My brother went to Taozhou to fight the Tubo people. This is Daqi's biggest battle with Tubo since the death of the first emperor."

"I," Feng Chenghai said, "don't know much about the Northwest Pass."

"You don't need to know, brother," Miss Feng Er said, "Tibetan won't send out many troops, at most a few hundred of them will take advantage of the chaos, and what brother will deal with is the people from the village, and when the time comes, they will be counted as Tubo soldiers. , could it be possible that brother thought he would face Tubo’s master again? Another prince will be the commander in chief?”

Feng Chenghai naturally didn't think so.

Miss Feng Er said: "The road will be paved for brother, even if I don't tell you, dad will let brother do this, it depends on brother's own ability."

Feng Chenghai was called back to the capital to deal with the affairs of Taozhou, but Miss Feng Er reminded him first.

In a small stockade, the Feng family has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, enough to kill the people in the stockade, run around the Tubo Pass and come back.

Anyone can win this battle.Feng Chenghai's face became firm: "I know, this time I will definitely win this military achievement."

Without waiting for Miss Feng Er to say anything, Feng Chenghai said: "I will find the Zhao family and help my sister vent her anger."

"Don't forget," Miss Feng Er said, "There are still Xiao Yu's people, and they must be cleaned up. I don't want to hear any more news about the Wuwei Army."

Feng Chenghai had a doting look on his face: "Sister, don't worry, brother will definitely take care of this."
