This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 774 Volume Five Lingnan King

Feng An's journey north has different meanings to many people.

But no matter how everyone interprets Feng An's journey north, the purpose of Feng An's journey north cannot be changed.

On this day, when Feng Ang's team arrived at Taohe County, Xu Jingzong, the governor of Taohe County, was waiting more than ten miles outside the city early in the morning.

Beside him, Du Chuke said in a weird voice: "The county guard is still too humble. Speaking of which, with the qualifications of the county guard, why do you need to go more than ten miles out of the city to greet him? How many people in the entire Tang Dynasty are worthy of being such a county guard?" "

What he said was not entirely wrong.

Speaking of which, Xu Jingzong's seniority in Datang is indeed quite old, especially in Li Er's camp.

Not everyone can compare to the eighteen bachelors of the past.

As for Feng An, when Xu Jingzong was working for Li Er'an, was Feng An still the local emperor of Lingnan?
When it comes to his qualifications in the Tang Dynasty, how can he compare with Xu Jingzong?

But Xu Jingzong is such a person. He doesn't care about face. As long as the benefits are in place, it's not impossible to pretend to be a grandson?

If you really want to say it, he was the most dedicated politician in the early Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Xu Jingzong could also hear the sarcasm in Du Chuke's words, and he didn't care at all.

Feng An, regardless of his official position, just speaking of his influence in Lingnan, Xu Jingzong is also worthy of attention.

As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If he has bad luck in the future, building a good relationship with this person will make life easier, right?
You know, if you have Lingnan hair this year, that's really punishment.

And Feng An, the native emperor of Lingnan for generations, even if he dies, the Feng family will still be the native emperor of Lingnan.

"Du Biejia is joking." Xu Jingzong said with a smile after hearing this, "Gong Guogong pacified Lingnan in his early years, which was a meritorious service both to the world and to the Tang Dynasty. I just admire the Feng family for the peace of the world over the years. It’s just a contribution.”

There is really not much to say about the Feng family.

Since the Feng family governed Lingnan, their contribution to Lingnan has been indelible.

Du Chuke stopped talking. No one could find fault with this issue.

On the side, Quan Wanji smiled and said nothing.

……

I don’t know how long it took, but Feng Ang’s frame finally slowly appeared.

Feng Ang used to be a relatively domineering person, but this time he came to this northwest land, he was much more low-key.

Without him, today's northwest would indeed be extremely unfamiliar to him.

In his early years, he believed that the northwest was a bitter and cold place.

It's not an exaggeration to say that a bird doesn't poop, it's not even as good as Gaozhou.

But this time along the way, he saw countless merchants coming and going, and even the counties he passed through were a bit prosperous.

Of course he knew what was going on. The formation of a business road not only brought prosperity to the two places, but also benefited the counties in the middle of the business road!
"Gong Guogong came all the way, but let this land in the northwest..." Xu Jingzong saw Feng An getting off his horse and walking over, and he immediately went to greet him.

Hearing this, Feng An also had a smile on his face and said: "Xu Junshou's words are serious, I am just following your majesty's order this time.

However, I saw the changes in the northwest land along the way, which made me surprised by Xu Xu's methods. If Xu Xu could go to our Lingnan land, then Lingnan must be a business and tax center of the Tang Dynasty. "

"You are so polite, Mr. Geng." People say that people carry people in sedan chairs. How could Xu Jingzong not understand what Feng An meant?
It's just a matter of complimenting each other. He can do this!
"Really speaking, the achievements that Taohe County has today are not due to me. It is all thanks to the Ming Dynasty and the dividends of the terrain." Xu Jingzong was also extremely polite.

Facing Feng An, he was willing to lower his attitude.

"Xu County Governor is being humble." Feng An said, pointing to the merchants on both sides of the road, and said with a smile, "I just heard them say that the end of this business road is Taohe County, right?

After hearing that the border was closed, Taohe County took over Riyue Mountain and became the source of this business road. If it weren't for Commander Xu's hard work over the years, how could he have replaced it in a short time? "

What Feng Ang said was correct.

Xu Jingzong may have problems of one kind or another, but he has still put a lot of effort into the governance and construction of Taohe County over the years. For example, he has been very attentive to the construction of workshops in various places.

It can be said that in recent years, Taohe County has achieved today's glory precisely because of Xu Jingzong.

"It's just what I should do to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor." Xu Jingzong did not continue to be modest.

Everyone is actually the same. Isn’t it a blessing to be recognized by others?
With that said, Du Chuke and others also came forward and saluted with their hands in hand.

Here, Feng Ang's status is the highest, there is no doubt about this.

Although he was far away from the court, it did not affect his status in the Tang Dynasty at all.

"Quan is so old that he still goes to the northwest, which really puts us to shame." Seeing Quan Wanji, Feng An bowed slightly.

Although Quan Wanji is not famous, he is still famous among the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

"Mr. Geng's words are serious." Quan Wanji said with a smile, "I am just like a county guard. It is just a matter of being loyal to the emperor at the cost of his salary."

Quan Wanji didn't have any other thoughts about Feng Ang, they were just being polite on the surface.

It is impossible for such people to win over their camp.

Smart people cannot take sides at this time, especially a local emperor like Feng Ang. As long as he is stable, no matter who comes to Dabao in the future, will he be able to do without his grace?

Therefore, Quan Wanji's attitude towards Feng Ang was extremely dull.

Feng Ang didn't take it seriously, looked at Du Chuke, and after saying a few words, he just said hello.

As for Wang Renyou, to be honest, Feng Ang really doesn't care.

What's the point of being a little-known person?
Unless Wang Renyou's daughter really becomes the queen, then he may still look down upon her.

"Gong Guogong, please come this way." Xu Jingzong said after seeing that everyone basically said hello.

It was more than ten miles away, and with their status, it was naturally impossible to walk back.

Soon, those on horseback and those in carriages left Shiliting one after another.

After entering the city, there was naturally another banquet.

The officialdom of China's five thousand years of culture has been almost like this without any changes.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed.

After they dispersed, Du Chuke found Quan Wanji and asked, "Mr. Quan, I wonder if there is any news about Long You Marching General Manager in Chang'an?"

When Quan Wanji heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you eyeing this position?"

"It's not that I'm eyeing this position, but that this position should be in our hands." Du Chuke didn't hide it at all, saying, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, let alone the most important thing is, We have not received any support from the military so far. That is seizing the reserve!

It cannot be decided by just touching the upper lip to the lower lip. In the final analysis, real strength is still needed. Only in this way can we be sure. "

When Quan Wanji heard this, he was speechless for a long time and didn't say a word.

He actually understands this truth, but again, he is an old stubborn and does not actually understand this kind of thing.

"In this case, what is the difference between us and the Ming Dynasty?" After a while, Quan Wanji said, "Jun Jun, minister, father, father, son..."

Quan Wanji chattered for a long time.

In fact, rather than saying that Quan Wanji belongs to the lineage of Shu kings, it is better to say that he is the real emperor lineage.

He simply felt that everything had to be done according to rules, and this rule was that imperial power was supreme!

"What Mr. Quan said is wrong." Du Chuke shook his head and said, "At this point, many things have actually changed. Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. The Ming Dynasty has come to this point. If we do nothing, What can we use to compete with Ming Dynasty?

I know what Mr. Quan is worried about, but is it really necessary?
If there is no present, where is the future?
Sometimes, it does not mean that we must seize military power, but military power can really help us solve a lot of troubles.

Take this case as an example, if Longyou's marching general was one of our own instead of Duke Yun, does Mr. Quan think our Datang would suffer such heavy losses? "

Quan Wanji was silent.

He doesn't want to, but he really knows the problem.

Therefore, sometimes, he is actually very entangled and doesn't know what he should do, or what he should do...

"But these matters are not something we can decide." After hesitating for a while, Quan Wanji said, "After all, this still needs to be decided by His Majesty.

Even if His Highness is now supervising the country, he has no right to decide on Long You's marching general. "

"That's why we have to find a way." Du Chuke said with a smile, "Now the nobles are on our side. With the support of the nobles and us, we can actually win this position.

And, most importantly, His Majesty actually wants us to win this position.

As for His Majesty, he probably doesn’t want Ming Dynasty to become powerful, right?

After all, the Ming Dynasty, which is becoming more and more powerful, is most worried about His Majesty.

A strong son and a weak father has not been a good thing since ancient times, especially in the royal family! "

Du Chuke had thought a lot before he came. Not to mention, everything he said made sense.

"I'll think about it again." Quan Wanji didn't agree easily.

Du Chuke was not disappointed either, and turned around and left after speaking.

And in the mansion where Feng An was staying, Feng An also had a black line on his forehead.

Without him, Xu Jingzong came to the door.

Of course, Xu Jingzong couldn't let Feng Ang do anything embarrassing for him.

It’s not that Xu Jingzong didn’t have such a thick skin. After all, it was because the two of them had no previous interactions.

"What Duke Geng wants to do most this time is to understand the Ming Dynasty, right?" Xu Jingzong said bluntly when there were no other people around.

Hearing this, Feng An smiled and said: "Chief Xu is joking, but it would be a good thing to know more about the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will most likely have the final say in this world."

They had no doubt that Li Chengqian could ascend to Dabao.

Without him, today's Ming Dynasty is too strong.

This is a natural advantage for Li Chengqian to ascend to Dabao in the future.

"Actually, Duke Geng's official duties are not something to worry about. With the magnanimity shown by the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not embarrass Duke Geng in this matter." Xu Jingzong said with a smile, "But the Ming Dynasty will definitely force Duke Geng to express his position. Duke Geng needs to be more attentive.

Of course, it is not a bad thing to be able to force Ming Dynasty. Duke Geng might as well think about Duke Yun and Duke Wulian County. Those two didn't even have a chance to be forced, so they were killed on the spot. "

Xu Jingzong was actually reminding Feng Ang that Ming Dynasty was not as gentle as it seemed.

"I also know some things about the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know much about many things about the Ming Dynasty. Since Commander Xu is here, why don't Commander Xu help me clear up a few questions?" Feng An immediately smiled and said, "For example, the Ming Dynasty has a strong relationship with the Tang Dynasty. What is his attitude? For example, what is the attitude of the Ming Dynasty official towards the Tang Dynasty officials? "

That's what he cares about most.

He actually didn't care about the surrendered soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. As Xu Jingzong said, with Li Chengqian's vision and mind, it was impossible to make things difficult for them on this issue.

But in other ways, it's hard to say.

"This old man doesn't know much," Xu Jingzong said, "but I can tell Duke Geng what I know."

"Then thank you so much, Commander Xu." Feng An immediately handed over his hand.

The two guys, who were obviously intent on collaborating, hit it off in just a few moments.

"When it comes to the attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, it's hard to say." Xu Jingzong said, "In the Ming Dynasty court, as far as I know, the Tang Dynasty has always been regarded as the imaginary enemy."

"Imaginary enemy?" Feng An's expression tightened.

"Yes." Xu Jingzong said with certainty, "Over the years, I have also sent many people to the Ming Dynasty. Although the relationship between Tang and Ming Dynasty is a bit subtle, in the end, these are two countries after all, and proper precautions are also necessary. of.

As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, this is what I should do. "

Hearing this, Feng Ang glanced at Xu Jingzong in surprise. He really didn't expect that Xu Jingzong still had such thoughts.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

There is nothing wrong with Li Er and Li Chengqian being father and son, but the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are actually two countries.

In the face of power, family ties are as thin as paper.

If Li Er had been absolutely sure, Ming Dynasty would have become a state capital of the Tang Dynasty long ago.

And if Li Chengqian was confident, it would be time to march to Chang'an and ask Li Er to drive to Da'an Palace!
this is the truth.

"As for the Ming Dynasty man's attitude towards the officials of the Tang Dynasty." Speaking of this, Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "It's really hard to say. The man from the Ming Dynasty has a weird personality. He said that he treats the officials of the Tang Dynasty fairly well. Be nice, then Duke Geng might as well think about people like Duke Yun, Duke Lu, and Duke Wulian County?

But if you want to say that he has ill intentions towards officials of the Tang Dynasty, you might as well look at people like Wei Zheng and Qin Qiong.

In other words, it’s hard to tell what the attitude of Ming Dynasty is right now..."

Xu Jingzong was actually right in saying this. He had actually tried to understand the Ming Dynasty for so many years, but he was still a little confused!
