Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 85
"Weiguo, Shuofang is fine, so you can stay in Chang'an for the time being. You proposed Bogutang. Take some time to see how they are doing. If something is wrong, let them correct it and spend more time with Guang'an. But You can't do anything that would embarrass the royal family." After retiring from the imperial court, Li Shimin returned to the harem and asked Feng Daiwen to eat before he left.

"I obey," Feng Daiwen, who didn't know how to answer, had no choice but to say sternly.

"Aiqing in Shuofang knows more about the current situation of the Turks than I do. What do you think of the grassland?" Li Shimin asked.

"The cold winter in the grassland is approaching. Jieli and Tuli have already ceased fighting, and I thought that the spring would be the beginning of the battle," Feng Daiwen said.

"Oh, can my Tang Dynasty take the opportunity to send troops to wipe out the Turks in one fell swoop." Li Shimin asked:

"I think it is inappropriate to send troops in the spring. First, there is not enough food and grass. If they are forced to mobilize, it may affect the country. Second, the mobilization of troops will not be enough. If there are too many, it will affect the spring plowing. Be patient for a year, after a year I will have enough food and grass to digest the grassland, so let's just leave it alone." Feng Daiwen analyzed.

"Weiguo is right. The pharmacist and the auxiliary machine said the same thing. It seems that I have to wait for a year, but it seems that Weiguo has already started preparations. With wool and goat milk powder, even if I don't want the grassland, Aristocratic families will also eat grassland powder clean," Li Shimin said with a smile.Li Shimin knew how greedy those aristocratic families were.

"The sage is wise, the minister is indeed making preparations, so be prepared," Feng Daiwen flattered with a smile.

The two continued to talk about some gossip, while drinking and chatting. Li Shimin had been listening to Feng Daiwen's arrangements and experiences. After saving Zhang Gongjin, he drank three cups happily.

"Okay, okay, you and I don't need to see each other like this. It's just that since I ascended the throne, the old brothers in the past have either guarded me or respected and distanced me. I'm almost a lonely family." Call yourself me.

"A sage belongs to all people in the world, so naturally he cannot be underestimated," Feng Daiwen replied cautiously.

"Hmph, you are also sloppy with me. It doesn't matter who is missing. Except for some old brothers, many people think about their own family first, and then consider the country. It is you and Shubao, respecting morality, knowing integrity, and only you How many people can live and die with me, others have selfish intentions, I don't know." I don't know if Li Shimin has drunk too much, it seems to be talking about wine.

"In fact, many people are willing to die for the saint and Tang. The saint just thinks that everyone is alienated." Feng Daiwen persuaded:
"Wei Guo, it's just you and me now, tell me why your Feng family supported me without hesitation, and you gave up your life to help me as soon as you arrived in Chang'an." Li Shimin stared at Feng Daiwen with red eyes and asked. road.Although Li Shimin believed in this person who was in the bloody Xuanwu Gate with him and tried his best to protect him, he always had doubts in his heart, but Feng Daiwen was still from a family after all, so he couldn't help but think about it.

"I was born in Lingnan. Since I was a child, I saw many people eating poor food and still not getting enough to eat. Many, many died of starvation and disease. They didn't even have a decent piece of clothing, and they were skinny. Most of the time, I wear linen clothes, animal skin armor, and the food is good. Often Aye will bring back wild animals, and most of the food is coarse grains, so I think I must do something in the future." Feng Daiwen saw Li Shimin asked Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, things need to be discussed before they can trust each other, so they said slowly, recalling the scene when they first arrived in Lingnan.

"Even so, the common people are very kind to the minister's family. They often help to plant the land, and they are satisfied with a little food. They are always thinking about it. Every time they tease people and make trouble, they are very active in helping to defend the city. Chaos, I made up my mind to let them live a good life in the future and study with the teacher for a few years, but unfortunately the teacher died of illness three years ago." Feng Daiwen saw that Li Shimin didn't answer and had to continue writing.

"Just looking at Wei Guo's ability, you know that Master Ling must be a generation of masters, but it's a pity that you don't see each other. Wei Guo must contribute all he has learned to benefit the people of the world, so that he can be worthy of the painstaking efforts of Master Ling to teach you." Li Shimin Also said with emotion.

"Yes, my family teacher often said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. They also said that the people who suffer the most in all dynasties are the common people. As the saying goes, the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering. As for why the minister's family supports the saint, it is the minister's grandmother There is a family motto, although the descendants of the Feng family must not forget their identity as Han people, and must not separate from the country, so the Feng family will be loyal to whomever they follow in the central palace, if it is a wise ruler, the whole family will help, if it is a foolish ruler, they will protect the people of one side," Feng Daiwen To explain Li Shimin's confusion, he didn't worry about Li Shimin's grudge, and believed in his tolerance.

"That's how it is. No wonder your Feng family has been guarding Lingnan all the time, but the person who made the teacher born in the world has the world in his heart. From a few words, he can understand his heart. It is true in the former Sui Dynasty," Li Shimin sighed. After all, Yang Guang and Li Shimin are also relatives. It's hard to say that he had to stop.

"That's right, so when the Supreme Emperor established the Tang Dynasty and the world was clear, it was time for the Feng family to leave Lingnan. I have heard about the saint's deeds for a long time, and I have always admired him. Originally, I just wanted to follow the saint to fight in the world. I have come to today. It was all unintentional." Feng Daiwen continued to explain.

"Yeah, it's all unintentional and involuntary! But in the future, this great country will have to be guarded by you and me." Li Shimin thought about how he has come so far.

"I am very happy to have the trust of a sage to show my ambitions. The sage has a broad mind. It is a great honor to allow me to make random changes." Feng Daiwen said excitedly.

"Haha, Wei Guo just let go and do it, and I will back you up," Li Shimin said with a laugh while holding the wine.

"Hmph, why does Wei Guo not stop the emperor from drinking so much?" At this time, the eldest grandson pushed the door in with the maid, and when he saw Li Shimin's drunken eyes, he showed his power at Feng Daiwen.

"It's okay, I'm happy today," Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson with a blank smile.

Seeing that Li Shimin was already drunk, the eldest grandson glared at Feng Daiwen, supported Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, drink a bowl of hangover soup," and he took the soup bowl to feed Li Shimin.

"I will leave," Feng Daiwen hurriedly left upon seeing this.

"Go and take Xiaotai and the others to live with you for a few days. They know that you have come back and come to beg me to let them go to your place, and bring the prince with you. Teach him well and don't spoil the prince. Xiaotai is naughty now. There are too many, I don't listen to Ben Gong as much as I used to, a child who loved to read a lot, now I think about practicing martial arts every day, hum," the eldest grandson said to Feng Daiwen very dissatisfied:

"I," Feng Daiwen, who was really speechless, had no choice but to agree, knowing that the eldest grandson was venting his anger on Li Shimin when he saw Li Shimin drunk.
