I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 234 Wu Su
Feng Shenji was still conscious on the sickbed.Zhao Lingyuan came to visit this time, in addition to sending him off for the last time, he must also have the intention of asking questions on the couch.

This last prelude is right, naturally you have to retreat left and right.

Even the Feng family and the accompanying civil and military were waiting in the courtyard. Zhao Lingyuan, who was sitting before the collapse, looked at Feng Shenji and said, "Mr. Feng thinks that the Red Lotus Rebellion will be settled in a few years?"

Feng Shenji didn't answer, but instead asked very boldly: "Your Majesty, you may have asked Duke Ying about this matter."

Zhao Lingyuan nodded lightly and said: "Of course I asked, the British public said that the shortest is three years."

Feng Shenji smiled and said, "What Your Majesty actually wants to ask is if there is a quick way to win?"

"It is also."

"However, His Majesty is going to be disappointed. The old minister has no good strategy to win quickly. The root cause of Honglian's rebellion is known to His Majesty. It is just a trick of the rat. The old minister thinks that the red lotus rebellion will be used to clean up the officialdom and clean up the evils."

Zhao Lingyuan thought about it seriously, and did not continue to question this matter, but continued to ask: "The imperial army is corrupt, but the frontier army is a long-time elite soldier, and they can still support them now, but if things go on like this, the strong branches are weak, What can I do?"

The frontier army is good at fighting, far better than the imperial army.This is something everyone knows.But it is very difficult to purge the forbidden army.

The first thing to face is the noble general who has been in charge of military power for a hundred years.Xungui is unequivocal about fighting wars, but even more ambiguous about making money.

From military pay, military rations, horses, fodder, ordnance, these people have all got their hands on it.

As for the frontier army, they dare not do so.At most, it is a few free wages, and who dares to stretch out the rest casually?

After all, there is a war to be fought.

Now the four towns of Hexi, Hedong, Shuofang, and Longyou, plus the border troops of Jiannan and Hebei, already have hundreds of thousands of troops.

The total number of people is more than that of the imperial army.

Although the forbidden army and the frontier army have begun to change their defenses on a small scale, and the frontier army has been transferred to form a new army.But the frontier army still has an absolute advantage over the imperial army.

Therefore, Zhao Lingyuan hopes to solve this hidden worry.

Feng Shenji said: "Emperor Renzong and the first emperor also asked me and King Fu Wuyi about this matter. Later, there was a common practice of transferring the generals of the frontier army who can fight to the imperial army. The Imperial Army did not take long to follow suit. They could only gradually replace the Imperial Army with the new army, and the new army and the Imperial Army were stationed in rotation. They must use the nobles of the imperial court as the generals of the border towns. However, it should not be allowed to occupy the border areas regularly. The Jiedu envoys, military governors, and military envoys all need to take turns to move towns, in case there is a palace of King Yan.”

The grievances between Feng Shenji and the Yan Palace are well known throughout the court, but at this time, they are not giving eye drops to the Yan Palace, but discussing the matter as it stands.

Because Yan Wangfu is actually too big to lose.It is a border town that is difficult for the imperial court to control.

The most root cause is that the first generation of King Yan has been guarding Liaodong for too long. As a king with a different surname, he served as the governor of Pingning for more than ten years. Not only the title of King Yan was hereditary, but the position of Jiedushi was also hereditary.

Since King Yan was mentioned, Zhao Lingyuan must also ask how to deal with the Palace of King Yan, which has always been suspended.

"The two generations of Yan Wang's mansion have guarded Liaodong for 30 years, and their roots are deeply rooted. If the imperial court wants to withdraw the domain, it can only be wiped out with a large army. There is no other way. Be fully prepared."

"The veteran thought that after the destruction of Honglian, if the money and food can be paid for, he can take advantage of the situation and use the victorious army, Chen Dajun and Youyan, to move the town. If they are not willing, they can naturally be attacked with the imperial army."

Feng Shenji answered the questions intermittently.

What Zhao Lingyuan asked was actually three things, how to balance Ping Honglian, the imperial army and the frontier army, and how to cut down the vassal.

For these three things, Feng Shenji's strategy did not actually have any clever tricks, they were all old-fashioned words for seeking the country.

Looking at the root cause, the root cause of these three things is not in the Taoist emperor.

The Red Lotus Road has been active for a long time, and it has always been forbidden and suppressed endlessly.And every time Honglian Dao can cause a turmoil, it is actually because of the corruption of the imperial government. The officials have resorted to levies and extortion, so that those poor people who have no place to stand and have to pay corvee taxes have to rise up.

As long as they can live a peaceful life, those people in Honglian Road may not be able to ask someone to rebel with them even if they beg their grandpa to sue their grandma.

But if the common people can't survive, then the only way left is to fall into the grass and become a bandit. There is no red lotus, but there are yellow lotus and white lotus.

As for the forbidden army of the frontier army, this is the military system of the great grandfather. The forbidden army in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was the elite that swept the world, not the waste materials that are now difficult to open with a stone bow.

This is a side effect of the long-term peace in the world. It will naturally be such a situation if the soldiers are arrogant and lazy, and they have not practiced war for a long time.

As for the Yanwang Mansion, which is too big to lose, it was the Yanwang named by Xuanzong. Emperor Renzong failed to move him to the town early, and Emperor Wuzong was already in a difficult position to make a move.

The Emperor Daojun was not the initiator of these things.

But right now, he needs to solve it.

After all, he is the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and the co-lord of the world.

Inheriting the inheritance of the ancestors and the ancestors naturally has to solve the problems left by the ancestors.

Of course, he can also be a paperbacker, sewing and mending, and he can also make this Dajin barely survive, so that the world will not perish.

But what about when the crown prince takes over?

Or after the prince?

Zhao Lingyuan didn't want to be an emperor who left all the problems to future generations, so he could only try to clear up this mess.

"I'm sorry for Mr. Feng today, can Mr. Feng still explain?"

Feng Shenji pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "The old minister does have a few things to say. The first is the eldest son, Feng Qi, who is virtuous and unvirtuous. The position is a noble of the imperial court, although it is not hereditary, but it requires His Majesty's permission, the old minister wants his second son, Feng Yu, to be his heir and inherit the title."

Zhao Lingyuan nodded: "I'm sure about this."

"Secondly, the old minister hopes that His Majesty can take care of Guanghui."

"Guanghui is my son-in-law and the crown prince's guard, and will definitely be the pillar of the Jin Dynasty in the future."

Feng Shenji blinked his eyes after hearing this, and then said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En. This last sentence is indeed intended to persuade Your Majesty, but it is a bit meng."

"Mr. Feng, please speak frankly."

"Your Majesty has ruled the world for twenty years. Although there is no great order, but the veteran knows His Majesty's grand plan, and wants to clarify the world, sweep away the evils, and make Haiyan River clean, but there are rebels who make trouble again and again. This is not your Majesty's fault. Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, although there are slanderous words in the market, they are just ignorant people being deceived by others."

Zhao Lingyuan listened to Feng Shenji's last rambling words, but felt a little more warm in his heart.

These last words were not like a courtier remonstrating the emperor, but rather like an elder comforting a younger generation.

If these words were placed in normal times, they would be a bit presumptuous.But at the moment, for the emperor Daojun, he doesn't mind the other party's last "relying on the old and selling the old" in his life.

On the fifth night of the fifth month of the 20th year of Xuanjia, a star fell in the northwest, and Feng Shenji, the Duke of Dingguo, died.

The Emperor Daojun sent the prince and his mother and younger brother to give sacrifices to the six princes, and presented "Situ", "Shang Shuling", "Taiwei" and "Super General".

Posthumous title "Wu Su".
