The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 248 Five Thousand Elite Soldiers
Feng Yao is smart, so he can see that it is time to avoid it at this time, he hurriedly got up and said: "It's getting late, thank you Madam Taishou for your hard work, I will go to rest first."

Unexpectedly, Yun Che stopped Feng Yao, and said directly to the little old man: "I know you can't hide your words, so just say it if you want to. Those families are hiding their secrets, but they just want to find someone to talk to." Master Mingming is next. Now that you think Yaoer is suitable, talk to her and see what she thinks."

Feng Yao listened to what Yun Che said so vaguely, he didn't want to leave or stay for a while, so he just smiled and looked at the little old man.

"Hey, it's time to Lulu this family background." The little old man was originally a small official in front of Feng Yao, but now he gritted his teeth cruelly, drank the wine in front of him, then turned and walked away out.

Feng Yao was detained by Yun Che, but the little old man's eunuch left, so what's the point?

But Yun Che said: "Yao'er will understand after a while."

Feng Yao nodded and sat down again.Before he could sit still, the little old man really came back in a hurry.He was holding a small box of red sandalwood in his hand. The slap was high and low, square, with no engravings or lines, but there was a sense of calmness and grandeur in the plainness, with an indescribable sense of solemnity.

As soon as Feng Yao saw the box, he knew it was Sheng Guanyin's box.But judging from the size, it is definitely not something that a prefect can hold.At least... a general.

The so-called bigger the official, the bigger the seal.If it is a nine-rank Zhima official, the seal is only a copper seal that is one inch square and two inches high; but if it is the current Holy Master, it is a big and thick gold seal.

Moreover, the last two emperors of Fengjue Kingdom valued martial arts and despised literature, and the military officials of the same official rank were half a grade older than civil officials.Now the size of the seal letter and the plain box belong to the military officer, but somehow it is in the hands of this eunuch.

The little old man placed the red sandalwood box squarely in front of Feng Yao, raised his hand and said "please", motioning Feng Yao to open it by himself.

Feng Yao looked at Yun Che, saw Yun Che nodding to himself, and then reached out to open the lid of the box.Before the bottom of the seal inside was seen, a lion was crouching on the copper seal button.The seal of the military officer is a lion button, the seal of the civil officer is Fu Gui, Feng Yao guessed right, this is indeed the seal of a military officer.

Not only did Feng Yao become more and more strange, this was definitely not something that belonged to the prefect, but it was kept by this little old man, so what's the point of showing it to him now?
Feng Yao took out the square seal and turned it over to look at the base.Only then did he take a deep breath, feeling a sense of awe in his heart.

There are only two seal characters on the stamp, which Feng Yao can recognize, they are the two characters "Zhu Xiao".

And Zhu Xiao is a personal name, and he is the great-grandson of the first female emperor of Fengjue Kingdom, "Emperor Ying".Moreover, Zhu Xiao is a strange person, he went to battle at the age of 12 to kill the enemy, he did not rely on being a royal relative, at first he was willing to be the general's stable boy when he entered the army camp, later he became the general manager, and then he was the commander and the general soldier.

Zhu Xiao was only 22 years old when he became the commander-in-chief. Although he did not make steady progress in the past ten years, he still relied on his own hands, courage, and loyalty to build a bright future.For this reason, the British emperor personally ordered someone to cast the most special seal of the general army, with only the name "Zhu Xiao".

But it is a pity that in the third year of Zhu Xiao's tenure as the general soldier, his father actually intended to rebel, and the matter was revealed and he was punished with the crime of copying and beheading his whole family.At that time, the people all cried out for Zhu Xiao.In addition, one of his lieutenants returned to the capital with the two thousand-man teams who had been with him through life and death, intending to force the British emperor to spare Zhu Xiao's life.

Although the British emperor felt sorry for him, he had no choice but to commit a serious crime of rebellion. The crime is unforgivable, and the crime should be punished by the nine clans.This is the law of the country, the criminal law, and an authority that cannot be changed or touched.So I could only bear the pain and use the ink pen to tick off Zhu Xiao's name.

However, the British Emperor was merciful and sent someone from Zhu Xiao's Yinxin to the lieutenant general, which was regarded as letting them live and not prosecuting them for suspicion of treason.Let them think about Zhu Xiao's loyalty back then, and with this seal, continue to be loyal to Zhu Xiao.

The lieutenant general knew that there was no hope of saving Zhu Xiao, and he was ashamed of being magnanimous to the British emperor, so he killed himself immediately.But the 2000 people who betrayed the capital disappeared without a trace, and together with the seal of Zhu Xiao, they disappeared for decades.

Now that Feng Yao holds this "Zhu Xiao" seal in his hand, he feels quite heavy.And in my heart, I was also turning back and forth, vaguely thinking that the "family property" that the little old man said had something to do with the two thousand-man teams that disappeared back then?
Seeing the doubt in Feng Yao's eyes, the little old man poured down another glass of wine and said, "The lieutenant general who killed himself back then was my grandfather. And my father was also among those 2000 people back then. This seal is what my father always carried And the 2000 people did not disappear, but hid together in this remote city in the extreme north. Although decades have passed, the loyal soldiers of those years have long since passed away, and even my infant has become an old man, but this If the seal is still there, it means the military spirit is still there."

"The prefect means..." Feng Yao put the Fang Zhuxiao seal back into the box again, even more puzzled.

"Maybe the eldest princess didn't expect that those two thousand have been constantly looking for someone who is equally loyal to replace her. So even if one of them gets old or dies, his son or apprentice is still there. It is passed down from generation to generation. Today, the loyal team of 2000 people has grown to [-] elite soldiers. And the only thing these people insist on is that loyalty."

The little old man was drinking again, as if he couldn't tell such a secret without drinking.After drinking another two glasses of wine, he continued: "Today, this old man took out this Fang Zhuxiao Seal, because he wanted to recognize a master for it. The old man has been friends with the king for three years, and he originally wanted to hand over this team of elite soldiers. It is in his hands. But the concubine king has no intention of fighting, and has repeatedly declined. Now I feel that the eldest princess has a broad mind and a very high vision; she also has the meticulousness and dexterity unique to women. This time, Zhu Xiaoyin is in the hands of the eldest princess , not to incite the eldest princess to make any changes, but just to let the eldest princess feel at ease and benefit the people, and with these 5000 people, she can really do some good things in a down-to-earth manner instead of being strong."

"Ah!" Feng Yao was shocked, he didn't expect such a section to happen suddenly.At first, Feng Yao always thought that Zhu Xiao Yin was just a rumor, and even the official history records of the imperial court couldn't find out that there was really an amnesty from the British Emperor back then.

Secondly, I didn't expect that this seal was real, and they actually produced five thousand elite soldiers!Although compared with the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops, a mere 5000 people really can't make any waves.

But just imagine how many of the imperial relatives and nobles in the entire capital really hold military power?I'm afraid that even the crown prince is nothing more than spending a lot of money in private to buy some dead men and killers in the rivers and lakes.

　The first update will be sent at zero o'clock, and I will see you at 12 noon in the next session.
