Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 3 Prince Qin's Mansion discusses plans, Feng Daiwen gives gifts
Chang'an City, the residence of King Qin,

"Wuji, Keming, Xuanling, the prince has recently transferred all the people from my Prince Qin's mansion to other places, and now only Jingde is in Chang'an, and Shubao is injured again. We are too passive if this continues. "A man with a majestic face and a handsome figure, wearing a rolling dragon black robe, frowned and said to the people beside him that this is the current King of Qin, Li Shimin.

The three people who attacked him were his three confidantes, the eldest Sun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were known as Fang Mou Du Juan.

"This matter is difficult to handle. The crown prince is using righteousness to transfer generals. At present, the only way to deal with changes is to stay the same and take precautions." Fang Xuanling also frowned deeply.

"The prince can be transferred out, we can try to transfer one or two reliable personnel to Chang'an, or we can use our own methods to deal with the prince's people," Changsun Wuji said.

"The auxiliary machine is right. Who can you trust?" Li Shimin nodded and asked.

"Look at this secret report and this brochure." As he spoke, Li Shimin picked up a secret letter and a roll of white silk from the case table and handed them to Zhangsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji first opened the white silk booklet for a quick look, and couldn't help showing joy, as if he couldn't believe it, and read it again from the beginning, then handed it to Fang Xuanling, and after opening the secret letter, he couldn't help clapping his legs and applauding. "This is God helping King Qin."

Du Ruhui couldn't wait to ask: "Fuji, why are you so happy." The eldest grandson Wuji, whose name is Fuji, is Li Shimin's brother-in-law. The two have known each other since childhood.

Li Shimin introduced with a happy smile: "The secret letter was reported by Xiao Teng of the Xiao family, saying that all ethnic groups in Lingnan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Currently, there are more than 170 million people registered in the Lingnan area, Han, provocative, and slang. The development of two crops of rice and the use of intensive farming have led to a bumper harvest in all parts of Lingnan this year, and only Aizhou has harvested 30 shi of grain and sent it to Guancang."

After a pause, he continued: "The excerpts were reported to the Palace of the Prince of Qin by Feng An, Duke of the State of Wu in the south of Lingnan, and other excerpts were reported to the sages. It is said that the official warehouses in Lingnan Road have harvested a total of 300 million shi of grain this year, and his second son Feng Daiwen will escort 100 million shi of grain to Beijing soon. There are 5000 elite soldiers who will be dispatched by the Qin Palace. If necessary, 5 troops can be added to the south of the Five Ridges. Soldiers and horses travel from the coast to Dengzhou, and then to Luoyang via the Yellow River. The shallow water in Luoyang can only be transferred by other ships. Luoyang is guarded by Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong." Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

The other three people in the room couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard it. Qu Tutong can be said to be Li Shimin's ironclad, so that the Lingnan military route will be opened up, and they can't help being unhappy.

Luoyang Weishui Wharf in October of the eighth year of Wude
I saw crowds of people at the pier, and the tall and straight body of a mighty veteran under the banner of the Tang Dynasty stood against the wind.Soldiers and horses on both sides are separated.

"What happened, why so many soldiers blocked the dock," a businessman-like man asked the people around him.

"I don't know, keep your voice down, just take a look, so as not to get into trouble," said the companion next to him, tugging at his sleeve quickly.

Just as he was talking, he saw his companion who looked like a businessman next to him, staring at the Weishui River dumbfounded. When he turned around, he was also stunned. He saw the densely packed Weishui River approaching a large boat that could not be seen at a glance. The businessman couldn't help bursting out Swearing, "Grandma's bear, this,,,,,,,, are all big boats with thousands of materials. How many are there? The river is full and there is no end in sight."

The big ship was parked outside the pier, and a handsome young man took a few people to the shore in a small boat. His eyes lit up when he saw the general under the banner, and he stepped forward to salute, "If you dare to ask, Jiang Guogong is in front of you. Father Feng An, boy Feng Daiwen met Jiang Guogong, and asked Jiang Guogong on behalf of my father."

"Okay! Okay!" Qu Tutong laughed and stepped forward to help Feng Daiwen to arrive, "My nephew is exempt from courtesy. I have worked hard all the way. The old man set up a banquet in the mansion to welcome my nephew. I will talk about things in detail when I return home."

"Thank you Jiang Guogong, there are a total of 110 large ships here, and a total of 100 million shi of grain and 50 shi of sea salt have been transported. I will trouble Jiang Guogong to arrange such as the Luoyang official warehouse, and there are 10 ships of supplies that my nephew will come to Beijing this time. The items need to be transported by Lao Guogong." Feng Daiwen said respectfully.

"It's easy to say, good to say, nephew, get on the horse, and go back home with the old man first." Qu Tutong said with a relaxed smile. After all, ancient food is money and life. With so much food in Luoyang, don't worry about food shortage. Since the war, there has never been enough food. Of course, Qu Tutong has reason to be happy. After all, he has food in his hand, so he doesn't panic.

"Okay, everything is arranged by the Duke. This is Feng Daihuo, my younger brother. He is dull by nature. Don't blame the Duke. Please." Feng Daiwen introduced.

"It's easy to say, easy to say. The two nephews, please come with me." Qu Tutong nodded and said.

Jiang Guogong's mansion, "Come, come, two virtuous nephews, I will introduce to you, these are my two incompetent sons, the eldest Qu Tushou and the second Qu Tuquan, these are your brothers from the Feng family, Feng Daiwen, Feng Daihuo , let’s get closer in the future.” Qu Tutong introduced his son and Feng Daiwen brothers.

After all, Feng An was the Minister of the Frontier of Lingnan, and seeing that the two brothers Feng Daiwen behaved extraordinaryly, he naturally wanted his son to be close to him.

"Meet the two brothers!"

"Meet the two brothers!"

The two sides greeted each other, and Feng Daiwen said: "This time I came to Beijing in a hurry, these small gifts are for all the aunts and sisters-in-law at home." After Feng Daiwen finished speaking, he asked his servants to bring in a box of pearls and three long wooden boxes,

Feng Daiwen stepped forward to open the first wooden box and took out a Coiling Dragon Covering the Moon Knife. He saw it was a silver-white weapon with a long silver dragon entrenched on the blade, which looked very domineering.

"Uncle is highly skilled in martial arts. This Panlong Moon-Crafting Knife made of meteoric iron has a net weight of 36 catties and a length of 1.8 meters (in fact, it is a modern imitation that he traveled with him. Maybe after time travel, the weapons are sharper and harder. The weight is all modern weight, don't worry too much) it is extremely sharp." Feng Daiwen introduced with both hands.

As a military general, there is no one who doesn't like Liangju's sword. Qu Tutong took two steps forward, took the weapon in one hand, weighed it with his hand, danced a knife flower, and said loudly: "Second brother, pull out your sword!" Long sword!"

Qu Tuquan drew out his long sword, stepped forward a few steps and swung it towards the blade.

Jingle!With a crisp sound, the long sword was directly broken in two, Qu Tuquan used too much force, staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Good! Good knife!" Qu Tutong glanced at the unscathed knife edge, and praised it.

"What a good nephew, what a magic weapon, thank you so much, I will suffer it, haha!" No general can resist the temptation of a magic weapon, let alone a gift, Qu Tutong happily accepted it without any hesitation. .

"Uncle is happy, as long as uncle doesn't dislike it!" Feng Daiwen walked over to open the other two wooden boxes, and took out two long black knives, only to see that the blades were black, the silver-white blades looked cold, and the handles were tiger heads. Swallowing his mouth made him even more mighty.Said: "These two knives, my nephew named Hukou Xiuchun Knife, are also forged from the meteorite iron from outside the sky. The knives are 1 meter long and weigh 16 catties. I gave them to my two elder brothers."

"Haha, thank you brother." The two brothers Qu Tuquan had long been envious of his father's big sword. How did they know that such a magical soldier had their own share? wife.

"This scabbard is made of deep-sea shark skin, and it's quite interesting," Feng Daiwen said as he handed the scabbard with a smile.

"Why should the two elder brothers see each other, this is the first time for the younger brother to come to the capital, and the two elder brothers need a lot of advice." Feng Daiwen passed the scabbard and continued.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, my nephew's gift is really too expensive, I really feel ashamed of this old man," Qu Tutong said.

"My nephew will stay in the old man's house today, and the second child will accompany you to Beijing tomorrow." Originally, Qu Tutong wanted to refuse the knife Feng Daiwen gave to his two sons, after all, it was too expensive, but seeing that he had already accepted it, it was true Reluctant, I had to pretend not to see it.

"Then thank you, Uncle, the two elder brothers." Feng Daiwen thanked with a smile.

This time Feng Daiwen brought dozens of his special weapons to use in public relations when he went to Beijing.
