Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 54
"Second brother, it's noon, you've been busy all morning, why don't you have something to eat," the eldest grandson Lian walked up to Li Shimin, carrying a bowl in person:
"Put it down, Avalokitesvara, you have found a good son-in-law." Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and said:

"What's the matter? Second brother." The eldest grandson walked behind Li Shimin, let Li Shimin's head rest on his chest, massaged Li Shimin's head and asked:
"He, he came up with a lot of ideas today, which gave me a headache. I don't know if it's good or bad. There are other things that are very troublesome and involve a lot." Li Shimin leaned on his eldest grandson and took a deep breath.
"What's so difficult about this, Second Brother has so many ministers who can interrogate them separately, just choose the most suitable one." Changsun Jiao said with a smile: Seeing her son-in-law stumped her husband's eldest grandson was inexplicably a little happy.

"You, you're right." Li Shimin, a married couple for many years, didn't understand the grandson's little thoughts, so he relaxed and stroked his grandson's hand:
"Second brother, you are tired too, let's drink this bowl of ginseng soup first," the eldest grandson picked up the bowl and handed it to Li Shimin:,,,,.

Wubenfang is located next to Zhuque Street, which houses Guozijian, the highest school in the Tang Dynasty. Feng Daiwen’s new home is in Wubenfang. On the gate, there are large gold-plated characters Wannianhoufu. These four characters were written by Feng Daiwen with the help of the great Confucian Yu Shinan. Is it the seal script written according to Feng Daiwen's request or the plum blossom seal script, which is elegant and simple,

Opposite the Hou's Mansion is the Princess Guang'an Mansion, which is being renovated. This is specially arranged for Li Shimin to show the grace of God.
"Congratulations, Lord Hou. See Lord Hou, (meet the second brother)." As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Ma Zhou, Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai, Xue Rengui and others all arrived, looking at Feng Daiwen with a smile.

"Why are you all here? Is this an appointment?" Feng Daiwen arrived unexpectedly.

"We are here to congratulate Lord Hou. How could Lord Hou not come to congratulate you with three blessings?" Ma Zhou laughed:
"That's right, Wei Guorong was promoted to Lord Marquis, General Anxi, and also Princess Shang. Congratulations to Lord Marquis." Su Dingfang, who was always serious, also laughed.

"Haha, it's better to have the same joy, everyone has been promoted." Feng Daiwen looked at the group of brothers happily and said:
"This is all promoted by Lord Hou, I will never forget it," Xue Rengui said:
"It's because of your brothers' own abilities, coupled with the sage's insight to recognize talents, that they are promoted exceptionally. In the future, they will be loyal to the country. Don't dare to thank you brothers." Feng Daiwen quickly declined:
"Today, I came here to congratulate Lord Hou, and to say goodbye. The saint will have other arrangements for us in the near future, but it is a pity that I will not be able to serve under Lord Hou anymore." Su Dingfang said a little lonely:

"Why do you have to act like a little child? In the future, you and my brothers will definitely have the opportunity to fight together. You should be happy if you have a future. By the way, how did the King Bin arrange for you?" Feng Daiwen said happily:

"Haha, Master Hou must not know, King Bin is still working under you, and Master Hou needs to take care of you in the future." Ma Zhou laughed and said:

"Oh, the appointment of King Bin has already been arranged?" Feng Daiwen asked suspiciously:
"Zhou, now I am the head of Princess Guang'an's mansion, the princess ordered to help out in the Hou's mansion temporarily." Ma Zhou smiled and said:

"It's true that King Bin has lost his talents, but I'm just short of manpower. It's much easier to have King Bin help me. I will definitely recommend it to the sage when I have a chance in the future. I can't always make King Bin useless." Feng Daiwen was half sighing, half relaxed said:

"You don't have to be like this, Lord Hou trusts you. Zhou is very happy working under Lord Hou and doesn't feel aggrieved." Ma Zhou said sincerely:
"Okay, King Bin, don't be too polite, take a good rest in a few days, and I will be busy in a few days." Feng Daiwen said:
"Rengui, Junmai, the two of you have little experience, so calm down and think about it. From now on, you will lead troops alone. It's not about personal safety, but about the soldiers who follow you," Feng Daiwen said earnestly to the table. Junmai and Xue Rengui arrived,

"I don't want to lead troops alone, I decided to follow Brother Feng, learn more, and Dai Huo will accompany me to practice martial arts every day." Xi Junmai said with a smile: Xi Junmai came from a poor background. Although he is smart, he has not studied systematically after all. , so I chose to continue to follow Feng Daiwen very self-aware.

"You, that's fine. Come with me to Shuofang in a while, and learn more with your heart. Personal bravery is important, but the art of war is more important. I think you understand the meaning of this." Feng Daiwen said helplessly:

"I understand, Brother Feng, I have always been diligent in learning from Brother Su and the others." Xi Jun bought: Because Feng Daiwen gave him weapons and took care of him, Xi Jun has always been very grateful to Feng Daiwen, and Xue Rengui has always been Called Feng Daiwen called Brother Feng:

"Brother Feng, I want to try to lead the army alone." Xue Rengui lowered his head embarrassedly, as if he had betrayed Feng Daiwen. After all, it was Feng Daiwen who recruited him into the army when he was at his worst and gave him the best. Weapons, let him have enough food every day, and often take them to open a small stove in the villa to eat delicious food, so as to replenish their bodies.

"Rengui doesn't have to be like this. Brother Feng is only happy for you if you can have a better development. You are different from Junmai. You have a family tradition of martial arts, and you have learned the art of war since childhood. It is more suitable for you to lead troops alone. Although Junmai is smart After all, I have learned very little," Feng Daiwen comforted:
"Thank you Brother Feng," Xue Rengui said with red eyes:

"Look, I said Brother Feng won't be angry." Xi Junmai patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Feng will be really angry if you don't manage well." Feng Daiwen pretended to be angry and said:
"I will lead the troops well, and I will not disappoint Brother Feng and Brother Su." Xue Rengui stood up and said loudly:
"Haha, that's right, I believe you." Su Dingfang also said happily, after all, Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai often asked Su Dingfang for advice, and Su Dingfang also knew everything, and they had a very good relationship.

A group of young people chatted while drinking wine, fighting Turkic wars in different places, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad, and fell drunk to the ground when they chatted till midnight,,,,,
The next day, when Feng Daiwen woke up with a headache, there were only three younger brothers, Ma Zhou and Feng Daiwen, in the Hou Mansion. Ma Zhou reported that Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui had accepted their fate, and Su Dingfang would lead five thousand elite soldiers to escort the caravan to the Western Regions. , Su Dingfang went to select and train soldiers,

Xue Rengui sent to Jiannan Road to guard against Tuyuhun, Feng Daiwen secretly thought that this Xue Rengui is really related to the plateau, but this is what Feng Daiwen did not expect, after all, now to trade in the Western Regions, there is no way to go through the grassland, so he can only take the Longyou Road. Taking precautions against Tuyuhun, it can be seen that Fang Xuanling and others have checked and made up for the gaps in Feng Daiwen's plan.

"Master Hou, the Zheng family, the Wang family, the Cui family, the Lu family, and the Li family have all sent posts asking Lord Hou to visit the house." Feng Daiwen received Ma Zhou's report just after dinner,

"Prince Bin give me a push. It's not the time to meet them yet, and why should King Bin start seeing others again? He told me to call me Dai Wen, and Wei Guo can do it." Feng Daiwen rubbed his forehead and said:
"Xiao Yu, Prime Minister Xiao also invites Wei Guo to visit the mansion." Seeing that Feng Daiwen was not proud of being a Marquis, Ma Zhou smiled kindly and said:
"Well, the two of us will go to Xiaoxiang's mansion later, third brother, go and inquire about the largest businessmen from the Western Regions in the West City, and let them come to the mansion after noon." Feng Daiwen said:
"Okay, second brother." Feng Daiwu agreed and went out.

"Fourth brother, go call Baolin, Chumo, Shanfeng, they will come to the mansion at night." Feng Dai continued to order:

Feng Daijin also went out, and Feng Daiwen took Ma Zhou up to Xiao Yu's mansion,,,,,
