Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 586 Willing to be punished
Feng Yun came out of the long gate and went straight to Xiaojie Hill.

Today's Xiaojieqiu is no longer the barren mountains and wilderness it once was. Along the way, there are not only various workshops, but also many houses and shops, as well as workhouses used by craftsmen.

There are no outsiders in the houses here.

Nagato’s land, Nagato’s people.

The shop is run by Nagato, and all the transactions are done by his own people.

The entire small boundary hill belongs to Nagato.

After walking one or two miles further into the mountains, you can see Mei Ling's troops on patrol.

They were all trained by Hou Zhun according to military drills, and they followed all the lines and regulations, and were heavily guarded.

Guan Wei took her child to Changmen today, and Hou Zhun came to greet her outside the gate.

"My lady, please come in."

Feng Yun nodded, "How is Mr. Mei?"

Hou Zhun smiled and said, "I am full of energy and eager to try."

Feng Yun smiled and strode in.

Hou Zhun stepped aside.

After entering the gate, you can see a martial arts training ground, which is spacious and grand, not inferior to the Beiyong military camp. Walking further in, the barracks are neat and tidy, and everything seems to be in good order.

Feng Yun did not disturb others and went to sit in the conference room.

Hou Zhun brewed the tea himself and placed it on the wooden table.

"Is there any news from the south?"

Feng Yun said: "It is said that Xiao San is determined to go to Xinzhou. But in my opinion, his goal is definitely not just Xinzhou..."

Hou Zhun nodded, "Huaxi is close to the Changhe River and the Huai River, and not far from Xinzhou. We still have to make plans."

Feng Yun said: "This is exactly the purpose of my visit. General Hou, it is said that Andu is the foundation of the Great Yong Dynasty, and Huaxi is the foundation of Changmen. In fact, the foundation of Changmen is not in Huaxi, but in Xiaojieqiu. Do you understand?"

Hou Zhun bowed with both hands, "I understand, and I will live up to your trust."

After saying this, he still sighed.

"Speaking of which, Xiao San can be considered a good leader. Since Yu was born, why was Liang born..."

Feng Yun laughed, "General, do you regret not returning to Southern Qi?"

Hou Zhun was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard, and then started laughing.

"What I said to the queen back then has never changed. I am really tired of the intrigues and deceptions in the court. Originally, the generals led the troops in the front and only needed to fight bloody battles without caring about other things, but there are always some people who stab in the back and shoot cold arrows. I am tired of seeing too many such things. Xiaojieqiu is still better, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, simple people, no endless conspiracies and calculations, three meals a day, training soldiers and farming, simple..."

His wife, children and the elderly are all in the village of Xiaojieqiu, so he has no worries. Normally, Feng Yun doesn't restrict him too much, and he is like the "king" of Xiaojieqiu.

You can feel free and easy here, and when you go to Huaxi Town, everyone greets you with a smile. Where else can you find such a good life?
Feng Yun nodded, "Bring the map and discuss the deployment of defenses."

Over the years, there have always been people in and out of the government speculating about the number of Nagato's troops.

Some say the number is in the thousands, while others exaggerate to one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.

Neither is true.

Changmen now has more than 32,000 soldiers, and their weapons are all made in the farm tool workshop. They have a complete range of swords, spears, axes, halberds, and excellent bows and crossbows. They are also equipped with antlers, chevaux de frise, catapults and other defensive equipment...

Feng Yun had already achieved his goal of turning Xiaojieqiu into a defensive fortress.

Today, the scale of Xiaojieqiu far exceeds that of the Tujiawu Fort that she envied back then.

Whether it is human or material resources.

Over the years, Xing Bing brought some troops to do miscellaneous tasks such as guarding the farm and escorting goods, while the more than 30,000 troops led by Hou Zhun were all trained as regular soldiers and were considered brave and good at fighting.

Hou Zhun was very confident, "Don't worry, Madam. The soldiers I brought here are not insecure. If there is no need, then forget it. Once Xiao San crosses the Huai River and wants to get his hands on Xiaojieqiu, he will be dealt a heavy blow..."

Feng Yun smiled, his eyes slightly stern.

"If the small boundary hill is trapped, how long can it hold out?"

Hou Zhun was silent for a moment, "Just prevent it, and keep it secret for ten years."

To support the army, you must first have food. Only with food can you maintain peace. The food stored in the Xiaojieqiu granary must be enough for everyone to eat for ten years. This was the ambition Feng Yun set when he started to build it.

She did all of these.

After returning from Xiaojieqiu, Feng Yun felt much more at ease.

That night, she drank heavily with the other concubines in Nagato and went to bed early. The next day, she returned to the palace and went straight to Qilin Pavilion to see Ruibao.

The mother and son talked for a while, and then Ruibao went to class.

Just as Feng Yun was about to leave, a eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Tang requests to see you."

Feng Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Please."
-
Since Feng Yun was enthroned, Tang Shaogong was mostly respectful and polite every time he saw Feng Yun, but also distant. He would not take the initiative to provoke or come to the door.

Feng Yun was very careful in dealing with this old member of the Xie family army who knew Pei Cong's private past.

At the same time, full of doubts.

She wanted to know more than anyone what was in Tang Shaogong's heart...

The "plum makeup on snow" on the defense map of that year and the death of Li Sangruo always made her feel resentful.

This person hates her.

He hated it since he was still working for Li Sangruo and his daughter.

Tang Shaogong came in and bowed to greet everyone.

Then she raised her eyes and glanced at the scriptures on her desk.

"Your Majesty, are you praying for the Great Yong Army?"

"No." Feng Yun said, "Practice calligraphy."

Her expression was cold, and Tang Shaogong frowned. "Your Majesty, don't you care about the safety of His Majesty? The border war is urgent, and the country is on the rise and fall. How can Your Majesty have the leisure to practice calligraphy?"

Feng Yun curled his lips slightly, "Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and you will be blessed by God."

Tang Shaogong narrowed his eyes, leaving her speechless.

Feng Yun then slowly put down his pen and asked with a casual smile:

"Tang Shaoqing, do you know what the crime is for being disrespectful to the Queen?"

Tang Shaogong's face was as cold as autumn, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, you can punish me. I am willing to die for your majesty."

Are you being fearless?
Feng Yun sat steadily, looked at Tang Shaogong for a moment, and smiled slightly: "Tang Shaoqing is one of us, there is no need to play dumb, just tell me directly, what do you want me to do?"

Tang Shaogong said: "It seems that the queen knows nothing about the recent affairs in the court."

Feng Yun asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Shaogong said, "Your Majesty is leading the army in person, and the situation is at a stalemate. The court is leaderless, and the crown prince is young. We urgently need Your Majesty to step in and stabilize the government..." He paused for a moment, and then continued, "Over the years, despite Your Majesty's strict orders, corruption and abuse of power have not been eradicated. Now that Your Majesty is gone, the three provinces and six ministries have their own thoughts, all of which are thinking about making more money for themselves... If it weren't for the war, it wouldn't be a problem, and Your Majesty would just execute them when they find out. But with the war at hand, the front line urgently needs food and weapons. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that these corrupt officials will delay the war by enriching themselves?"

Tang Shaogong kept looking at Feng Yun while he was speaking.

Feng Yun also looked at him.

At this hour, the sun shone in obliquely from the south window, making the room very bright, and also reflecting Tang Shaogong's usually gloomy face, making it look sunny.

Although Tang Shaogong's words were sarcastic, Feng Yun heard some sincerity in them.

He showed sincere concern for Pei Cong and the Dayong Army.

His hatred for himself was real.

His concern for Pei Jue is also very real.

If we judge a person by his loyalty or treachery, no matter how Feng Yun feels about him, his consistent words and deeds are a bit extreme to Pei Jue, but he can still be considered loyal...

As for her, just...

Feng Yun chuckled. "As a woman, I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. Could it be that Tang Shaoqing is here to persuade me to meddle in government affairs?"

Tang Shaogong said, "That's not called interfering in politics. It's called helping His Majesty by bringing the Crown Prince to court. Your Majesty doesn't need to do anything. Just sit there and let them think about it and stop making plans."

Feng Yun sighed, "I don't have such ambitions. As Empress Dowager Li's lover, Tang Shaoqing knows best what happened to her. Why should I follow in her footsteps?"

Tang Shaogong's face changed.

Anyone who knew about what happened between him and Li Sangruo would have died long ago.

He didn't expect that Feng Yun would suddenly say it in such a joking yet serious tone.

As if it were a fact that had already been established.

Is she trying to cheat him?
Tang Shaogong looked at Feng Yun coldly, his expression unchanged.

"My lady, the former Empress Dowager of Jin is already deceased, why do you want to tarnish her reputation?"

Feng Yun did have the intention of testing him.

After all, Li Sangruo, that woman, had so many lovers and was used to being frivolous, how could she stand it in Xijing? Tang Shaogong was born vicious, but he had a good face and a tall and straight figure, so there was no guarantee that Li Sangruo would not take action against him.

What's more, there is the plum blossom makeup on the snow on the defense map?
Seeing that Tang Shaogong refused to respond, she curled her lips and smiled again, "There are no outsiders here, Tang Shaoqing, why don't you just speak frankly? Do you want to find an excuse to punish me while His Majesty is away?"

Tang Shaogong froze.

She was too direct.

Tang Shaogong slowly raised his sleeves and bowed.

"My lady, I dare not."

Feng Yun smiled lightly, "What are you afraid of? Don't you hate me so much?"

Tang Shaogong looked up and stared at her without saying a word.

Feng Yun said: "You hate the Feng family, and you hate me. You have wanted to kill me for a long time, right?"

Tang Shaogong took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"I hate the Feng family for being nice to you, Your Majesty..."

He paused for a moment, "Your Majesty likes it, I have nothing to say."

Feng Yun was a little surprised.

He didn't even deny his hatred for himself.

Feng Yun said slowly: "You hate me because of what happened back then? You don't think that the words of a three-year-old kid like me can influence the outcome of the war, do you?"

Tang Shaogong stared at her.

After a long, long time, he finally uttered a sentence.

"Your Majesty's surname is Feng, that's all. In my opinion, the Feng family does not deserve to live. The Xuzhou Feng family should be rooted out, leaving no one alive. Your Majesty is still too merciful. The lives of all the soldiers of the Xie family army and the entire Xie family are not worth the lives of your Majesty alone."

All his hatred was hidden in his words.

Without any disguise, he stabbed Feng Yun like a knife.

"Oh?" Feng Yun asked in the same tone, calm and confident, even with a hint of smile:

"What about Li Sangruo? Her last name is not Feng. Why did Tang Shaoqing kill her?"

After saying this, he didn't care about Tang Shaogong's expression at all and glared back at him as a matter of course.

"Not only did you kill him, you also tried to frame me and alienate the relationship between me and His Majesty... I have to say, this move was quite vicious. If His Majesty had loved me less and loved Li Sangruo more, you would have succeeded."

Tang Shaogong turned his eyes away.

"I don't know what your majesty means by this. I have never done anything like this."

"Heh." Feng Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. "Over the years, I have thought about it. In the court of Dayong, besides Tang Shaoqing, is there anyone else who hates me so much? No one else. Apart from Tang Shaoqing, no one can get close to Li Sangruo and make her defenseless."

"Your Highness, this is a false accusation!"

"The one who killed Li Sangruo was you! And only you!"

Tang Shaogong: "Your Majesty is so good at solving cases, you should go to the Dali Temple."

Feng Yun smiled lazily, "That's not necessary, just whisper in someone's ear."

Tang Shaogong's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at her coldly, "Your Majesty is not the kind of person who would listen to slander and be seduced by women."

Feng Yun smiled slightly.

She didn't need to argue with Tang Shaogong about who would win or lose because it was meaningless.

It was even more impossible for her to let Tang Shaogong lead her by the nose, take her son to the court to listen to government affairs, and manage state affairs for Pei Cong...

Pei Jue had arranged all the matters in the court before leaving.

The Yong Empire will not collapse in a short time.

But Tang Shaogong had evil intentions in mind and had clearly fabricated a crime and was waiting for her.

Things happening under the imperial city are never new. It is not uncommon for fathers and sons, brothers, husbands and wives to fight to the death for the throne and for supreme power.

If she really did that, how would Pei Jue look at her?

What would the civil and military officials in the court think of her?
Feng Yun sneered, stood up and flicked his sleeves lightly.

"I am very busy, Tang Shaoqing, please leave."

Tang Shaogong raised his eyes slightly, bowed and said, "Yes."

After taking two steps, he turned back.

"I hope your Majesty will think twice."
