The best little eunuch

Chapter 75
Chapter 75
"My lord, don't blame yourself. This situation is much better than when we were outside the Great Wall. Back then, when we were in the northwest, the snow was much more than this, almost waist deep. We still have to Go out to patrol the Great Wall. Sometimes, not to mention food, even life safety cannot be guaranteed.” Lu Shuai began to tell Lin Feng about his time in the Northwest.

"Can you tell me about the situation in the Northwest?" Anyway, Lin Feng had nothing to do, so he started chatting with Lu Shuai.It's also a good time to inquire about things about the Northwest.It seems that the frontier army in the northwest plays a very important role in the court.At least it can be seen from the number of troops he has.

"Since my lord wants to hear it, my subordinates can tell me." Lu Shuai readily agreed.The two rekindled a bonfire, gathered together, and Lu Shuai began to talk.

The Northwest Frontier Army, to be precise, is the Northwest Army plus the Northern Army, but, customarily, everyone calls them the Northwest Army.The defense line of the Northwest Army is very long, accounting for almost half of the defense line in the north.Among them, the important passes are Yumen Pass, Jiayu Pass, Yang Pass, and even Yanmen Pass in the north, all of which belong to the defense line of the Northwest Army.Therefore, the Northwest Army is the most elite and largest army in the Great Yan Dynasty, not one of them.

"Does the Northwest Army usually fight a lot?" Lin Feng asked.Come to think of it, frontier troops are generally stationed on the Great Wall, passively defending.War, for them, should not be many.

"It's okay, anyway, we have to fight with them every now and then, but it's just a small fight, not completely tearing the face. After all, neither the small countries in the Western Regions nor the cavalry on the northern grasslands have fought with them We have the strength to fight against the Yan Dynasty." Lu Shuai explained.Although it is just a small fight, it will also kill people.After all, no matter how small the middle school is, it is still a war, not a play.

"How is our relationship with those countries in the Western Regions and those people on the grassland?" Lin Feng continued to ask.Anyway, I have nothing to do, just to learn more about things other than Yan Dynasty.

"Those small countries in the Western Regions are okay, basically they will send people to pay tribute in three to five years. Those nomads on the northern grasslands are not good. Our army can't do anything about them. They don't build cities or cultivate land. Every time our When the army came out of the Great Wall to attack them, they would change places. Most of us are infantry, so we have nothing to do with them." Lu Shuai said: "And if there is a snowstorm or drought on the grassland, they will go to the Great Wall to rob us. The common people. The common people worked so hard to plant the crops for a year, and they just robbed them."

"Then our army doesn't have any countermeasures?" Lin Feng asked.If it doesn't work, I will send troops to protect it during the autumn harvest.

Shaking his head, Lu Shuai said: "It's impossible to defend against. Our number is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything. But those prairie rangers don't have this concern. If this place is guarded, they will go there. Anyway, they can always find a loophole. "

Nodding his head, Lin Feng could also hear the helplessness in Lu Shuai's words.And the more helpless ones are probably the people on the edge of the Great Wall.The harvest of a year of hard work was snatched away by someone.Whoever it is, I won't feel comfortable in my heart.Although they knew that the crops they planted might be taken away by others, these people still planted crops year after year with one out of ten thousand hope.Compared with the common people in the Central Plains, these people are really suffering.

Time always flies when talking and chatting.As the bonfire in front of them slowly burned out, the sky turned pale.

"It's dawn before I know it." Lin Feng said.

"That's right. It must be time for General He to come back." Lu Shuai said.It is estimated that He Wei got the warrant from the Military Academy yesterday, but he couldn't leave the city.We can only wait for today.

Sure enough, after Lin Feng and the others waited in the camp for a while, they saw a horse coming towards this side at a high speed. If it wasn't He Wei, who was it?

When Lin Feng returned to the capital, he was treated like a hero, even though the hero hadn't eaten all night.However, this did not affect the unspeakable excitement in Lin Feng's heart now.Being a hero feels so damn good, but it would be even more perfect if I could have a bowl of food right now.Lin Feng couldn't help but smacked his lips as he looked at the job bowl held by a child on the street.

Today, after He Wei received the warrant from the Military Affairs Council, he immediately ordered the army to move out.Walking on the road, He Weicai had time to tell Lin Feng what happened yesterday.Originally, as soon as He Wei returned to the capital, he was stopped by Liu Rufeng's men.After He Wei explained what he meant, Liu Rufeng personally led He Wei into the palace and met the emperor and queen mother.

Hearing that Lin Feng was back, not only the emperor was happy, but the queen mother was even more happy.Of course, Qiuxiang was happier than the Queen Mother.It has been a while since Lin Feng left Beijing.These days, she was worried about Lin Feng a lot.But that heartless Lin Feng didn't even get a word back.However, complaints in her heart are complaints, and Qiuxiang's joy in her heart is still indispensable.

Liu Rufeng discussed with the emperor and the queen mother, and then went to find Li Henian in person with the emperor's order.There is no way, Li Henian is currently serving as the Taiwei of the Military Affairs Council as Prime Minister You, and the current seal of the Military Affairs Council is in the hands of Li Henian. Without his seal, the Military Affairs Council cannot issue warrants.

Li Henian was not surprised at all when he heard the news of Lin Feng's return.King Wu was escorted back to the capital, which was considered a semi-secret act, at least the people didn't know that King Wu had been escorted back.But now that Lin Feng is returning to Beijing, it's hard for the people in other places to say, at least the people in the capital know that the battle is over, and the case of no outlets should be tried.

Li Henian didn't ask too much about Liu Rufeng's emperor's will.It was very cooperative and a warrant was issued.Handing the warrant to He Wei, Li Henian said, "It's another bloodbath." I don't know if Li Henian said this to Liu Rufeng or He Wei.

He Wei had no interest in listening to Li Henian's words. What he wanted to do most now was to get the warrant and hurry to see Lin Feng.However, just after leaving the Military Affairs Academy, Liu Rufeng told He Wei not to go back today, but to go back tomorrow.

Under He Wei's repeated questioning, Liu Rufeng said that the emperor would go out of the city to meet Lin Feng in person tomorrow.If Lin Feng came back overnight today, he would seem a little sneaky.Therefore, the emperor meant to let Lin Feng wait outside the city for a night.

He Wei thought about Liu Rufeng's words, and felt that they were right.In addition, this can be regarded as the emperor's will, since it is the emperor's will, it is the imperial edict, and He Wei naturally has to obey it.Therefore, without knowing it, Lin Feng endured the cold and starved outside the city all night.

However, his night of freezing and starving was not without reward.At least he is very happy now.You can go to the court to inquire, who has enjoyed the treatment of sitting on a dragon chariot with the emperor?Apart from him, Lin Feng, I'm afraid it's the elders who founded the dynasty.

Seeing the Royal Forest Army clearing the way, Lin Feng and the emperor were sitting on the dragon chariot together, followed by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, how high-spirited it was.The only fly in the ointment was that Lin Feng's stomach made two untimely sounds from time to time, which made Lin Feng very embarrassed.However, fortunately, there was a lot of noise along the way, and the common people also ran out to see the hero, which just covered up the sound of Lin Feng's stomach.

Sitting on the dragon chariot, he kept waving his hands to greet the people below. At this moment, Lin Feng felt that he was the legendary great man. "Damn, this feels so good." Lin Feng couldn't help thinking in his heart.

However, no matter how long the road is, it will come to an end.Soon, the dragon chariot stopped in front of the palace, and when he arrived at the palace, Lin Feng naturally wanted to come down.All the ministers and the emperor came to the Hall of Qinzheng to start today's court meeting. Of course, this court meeting was more for Lin Feng.

"Lin Aiqing served the country and quelled the rebellion for me. She is my powerful arm. Come, give Lin Aiqing a seat." Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor said loudly.Compared with the previous two months, the emperor has obviously matured a lot.It seems that during this period of time, the emperor has indeed grown up under the pressure of his courtiers.

"Thank you my majesty for your understanding." Lin Feng said, and was about to kneel down, when the emperor immediately said: "Lin Aiqing has been exhausted all the way, so this kneeling ceremony can be avoided."

Hearing what the emperor said, Lin Feng immediately stood up straight.Originally, he didn't intend to kneel down.You said the floor is so hard, how uncomfortable it is to kneel.Soon, a little eunuch moved a chair, and after putting it down, Lin Feng sat down.Now, Lin Feng is also qualified to sit in the court.However, it seems better to have a bowl of hot rice now.Unfortunately, this can only be a wishful thinking.

"Your Majesty, General Lin has done a great job in putting down King Wu's rebellion this time. I suggest that the Emperor should start to formulate rewards with the Ministry of Rites." Anyway, Liu Rufeng and Lin Feng are now allies, so Liu Rufeng immediately raised an objection Lin Feng's reward question.

For a general like Lin Feng who had won and returned to the court, the court's rewards to him would naturally be given after court discussions.Generally, the situation is drawn up before the general returns to the court, but Lin Feng's situation is special, Li Henian is hoping that Lin Feng will not come back, and there is no best reward for Lin Feng.So, this matter has been dragged on until now.

"Lan Aiqing, your Ministry of Rituals must implement this matter as soon as possible." The emperor was so kind, he immediately ordered Lan Yiqing, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to implement it.

After taking a step forward, Lan Yiqing replied: "I obey the order. I will urge you as soon as possible and come up with a detailed list of rewards." For generals who win and return to court, rewards are not so simple.After all, the general is not one person, he is a group of people.There are many generals and more soldiers behind him.The rewards of these people must be considered.Otherwise, it is very easy to cause dissatisfaction in the army.

Next, many courtiers came out to explain the situation of Lin Feng's pacification of the war, and even praised Lin Feng as a general, and he would definitely be a pillar of the court in the future.Most of these people are the censors under Liu Rufeng, they rely on their mouths to make a living, and their mouths are really good.

In contrast, the people on Li Henian's side were much quieter.Li Henian even closed his eyes and meditated, as if all this had nothing to do with him.The imperial court has become the back garden of Liu Rufeng's party.

"It seems that a lot of things have happened in the past two months." Lin Feng summed it up in his heart.However, it was not said.Listening to the people on Liu Rufeng's side still chattering, Lin Feng rubbed his protesting stomach, not to mention the resentment in his heart.If you say something nutritious, it's fine. This kind of official language and scene language, you say so much time, you are not tired, I am tired of listening.It's a pity that the people on Liu Rufeng's side didn't have any consciousness at all.

What made Lin Feng even more upset was that the Queen Mother seemed very satisfied with these courtiers who praised Lin Feng.No matter who finished speaking, the queen mother always wanted to comment.By the way, even the courtier praised him.

With this example, those courtiers who didn't intend to speak at first couldn't help but find something to say.This is an opportunity to make a good impression in front of the emperor and queen mother.Maybe from now on, his success will depend on this good impression.

I don't know how long it took, anyway, Lin Feng's stomach has been protesting non-stop.The helpless Lin Feng had no choice but to sit on the chair, rubbing his stomach non-stop, praying that these people would finish their nonsense quickly.

It wasn't until noon that the court meeting was over.After the emperor announced the disbandment of the court, Lin Feng was ready to run outside.There is no way, this stomach is really too hungry, if he doesn't eat more, he might become the first hero to starve to death.

However, before Lin Feng stepped out of the Qinzheng Palace, he was stopped by the prince. "Our family greets Lord Lin."

"Your Majesty is being polite. I don't know what your Eunuch wants from me?" Lin Feng also bowed to Eunuch Wang and asked.In any case, Wang Gonggong can be regarded as a recommendation for himself, and it is only natural for him to respect him.

With a smile, the prince said, "How can our family look for Mr. Lin? Mr. Li, you are now a great hero, the emperor's minister of the humerus."

"Then I don't know what Eunuch Wang intends to stop me?" Lin Feng asked again.You said, can you finish speaking quickly.I'm so hungry, can't you let me go to eat quickly?
"The emperor asked our family to come. The emperor said that Mr. Lin is a hero of the country. The emperor specially asked someone to prepare a banquet and asked our family to invite Mr. Lin to have dinner." Wang Gonggong said this very loudly. , at least most of the ministers heard it.

When the ministers saw that Wang Gonggong stopped Lin Feng, no matter they were busy or not, they pretended to be temporarily busy. Even if they couldn't find anything, they would hold a few ministers who were not very familiar with them to chat, and their ears were on Listening to what happened to Lin Feng.

"The emperor asked me to eat?" Lin Feng asked a little excitedly.It's not because the emperor invited the meal, but because he is really hungry. Hearing that there is something to eat, how can he not be excited?

Lin Feng's excitement, in Wang Gonggong's eyes, naturally became gratitude to the emperor. "Yes, the emperor asked our family to come and ask Mr. Lin to eat. Mr. Lin, please come with our family." After finishing speaking, the prince led Lin Feng and walked towards the back.At this time, those ministers dispersed immediately, and then hurried out of the palace to discuss with their respective small circles.

Lin Feng followed the prince to a small side hall behind the Qinzheng Hall.At this time, the emperor had already been waiting here.Seeing the emperor, Lin Feng hurriedly pretended to kneel down, but actually he was waiting for the emperor to let him not kneel.

Sure enough, before Lin Feng's fake action was finished, the emperor said: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for Lin Aiqing to be too polite, just take a seat."
