At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a feudal town, but in Western Europe

Unless someone hints that he does, and guarantees that Charlie won't actually pass the position to Pepin... then who is this person?What is the purpose?This is what we will never know.

Muirseth My Wife: Is there a possibility that Fasterrada is a pig brain and Charlie is a rough guy who doesn't think much of it.

4①Ten Articles of Feng's Yan Guolian

Unconsciously shaking Charlie's letter in his hand, Feng Sen looked solemn. According to his original assumption, Malajiji's murderous plan of fighting for life had actually broken the fragile balance between him and Charlie.

But now, Charlie actually sent him a message of compensation and peace, and nothing else mattered, but this order to become king was a bit strange.

Even if Charlie stabilized him for a short-term benefit, but he would not give such a favorable condition, could it be that he didn't know that although he still belonged to Frank on the surface, he was actually independent?

In the study room of Hanwei's new general's mansion, Feng Sen was sitting behind the oak desk, with a huge bookshelf behind it, and in front of the desk, a small figure was sitting on the edge of the cradle, blinking at Feng Li, Feng Sen's second son and Li Baojing's eldest son.

Feng Jingxue stretched out her fingers and scratched Feng Li's chin, who was still thin: "My brother grows up, play with me."

Li Baojing was sitting by the cradle with an abacus in his hand. Seeing this, he couldn't help but lift Feng Jingxue from the ground, kiss her face, and put it on his lap: "How can my brother grow up so fast?" , Your Majesty will play with you."

"Okay, ma'am, play!" Feng Jingxue grabbed a rattle with her chubby little hand and handed it to Li Baojing, "Mia, play."

Seeing this scene, Feng Sen couldn't help feeling sorry for the daughter.

After giving birth to this child, Gisela was not that close to her. After giving birth to her, Gisela spent more time on those orphanages and child soldiers, but did not pay much attention to her own child.

The little Feng Jingxue can only be taken by Aunt Zhu and Li Baojing. If Arvo is around, he will take her to play occasionally.

It's not that Feng Sen didn't try to persuade Gisela, but it didn't have much effect. It may be that Vidukind left her too much psychological shadow. Every time she saw Xiao Jingxue, Gisela felt uncomfortable.

But it is not true that Gisela hates this child. Whenever Feng Jingxue falls asleep, Gisela will sit on the head of her bed, sometimes for an hour, but she is awkwardly unwilling to wake up when Feng Jingxue Be close to the child while you sleep.

"Yeah, hug!"

"Good, good, hug." Taking Feng Jingxue from Li Baojing's hand, Feng Sen kissed Feng Jingxue on the forehead, and scratched her face with his beard, making her giggle.

Regardless of Feng Jingxue braiding his beard, Feng Sen handed the letter to Li Baojing: "Look, this thing is a bit weird."

Taking advantage of the light, Li Baojing frowned, read the entire letter carefully, and then slowly said: "There must be changes in the Frankish country. This condition is so generous, even if it is compensation for me, it is too much. It must be Stabilize you so that you don't get into trouble for the time being."

Feng Sen asked with interest: "Then do you think I need to make trouble?"

In fact, this is not a bad thing. In order to fight against almost all the nobles and tribal leaders in the Frankish lands, Feng Sen still needs to prepare, because what he needs to defeat is not the 15 troops that Charlie can muster, but the [-] troops of all the nobles.

Even if you want to go south, first of all, even under the enfeoffment system, the degree of militarization is very high, and castles and territories need to be pulled out one by one. Even if Feng Sen has a counterweight trebuchet, the speed will not be too fast. Wait for Feng Sen to send troops to the south. To the extent that they can fight, maybe Charlie and Pepin have finished fighting.

Secondly, the current territory of Saxony looks large, but it is empty. The new bannermen have not yet formed combat effectiveness, and the strength and deployment of the new government soldiers have not yet been completed.

The most important thing is that Feng Sen had to make compromises in order to avoid suspicion and maintain balance. As a result, many policies that could strengthen power could not be promulgated normally.

With the title of the kingdom, some things are easy to operate, such as the shogunate can be changed.

"It doesn't matter whether you make trouble or not, aren't you already making trouble?" Li Baojing nodded at the letter in his hand, "When you conquered Aval, didn't you know that Charlie was planning to weaken you? When you were everywhere, didn't Charlie know that this was you expanding your power? You two old foxes, you have a clear mind, so you still need to ask me?"

"Hiss, I really don't know."

Li Baojing rolled his eyes at her: "Of course the rewards are received, and then expand the army if you want, plunder if you want, and even the border dispute with the nobles of Austrasia. Now that we have a title, it is more convenient. We can even extend our hands to Friesland."

"Don't you need to support Pepin?"

"We can provide all support except sending troops."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Amidst Li Baojing's exclamation and Feng Jingxue's giggles, Feng Sen stretched out his hand and hugged Li Baojing, holding the two girls in his arms. Feng Sen kissed Li Baojing twice on the cheek: "I have a Li Baojing can be worth three thousand-man teams."

With a pink face, Li Baojing tapped Feng Sen's shoulder lightly: "What are you doing? Xue'er is still watching."

Feng Sen said nonchalantly: "Look, let her see, it's not something shameful. Children have to see their parents love each other, and then they have the ability to love. Don't get married soon, and don't know what's going on. That's bad."

"This marriage, can she still decide on her own?"

Putting Feng Jingxue on his neck, Feng Sen smiled and said, "Why not? Anyway, I will not set up resistance for her. As for the rest of the obstacles, she will have to fight for them herself."

Li Baojing snorted: "Do you really hope to make your daughter just like you, seeing each other and loving the other?"

Feng Sen yelled injustice: "When did I meet one and love the other?"

"My sister, Li Xuanying, didn't you take action?"

Li Xuanying is the eighth daughter of Emperor Dezong Li Shi of Tang Dynasty, and also the younger sister of Li Baojing. In the official history, she was named Princess Xian'an, married to the Uighur Khan, and passed on for several generations like a crown. passed away.

Choked by saliva, Feng Sen coughed twice: "She thought I was the Uighur Khan, and I drank some more wine, thinking she was a dancer sent by someone, so..."

Seeing that Li Baojing's expression was still a little unhappy, Feng Sen immediately poked his head, stirred the French style for a long time, and then let go, and Li Baojing finally calmed down: "Okay, don't make trouble, this king's matter, When are you going to hold it?"

Licking his lips, Feng Sen laughed and said: "Why do I, Feng Sen, need a barbarian king to be canonized, what Saxon king, if I want to be crowned king, then I will restore my Yan Kingdom of Feng's family, and I will be the king of Yan!"

………………

A few days later, Hanwei.

Wang Sima's new residence.

As the year approaches, there is a lot of smoke in the air.

Although there was a rare cold wave at the end of 789, fortunately, because Saxony was close to the sea, the snow that fell was not too heavy.

At this moment, beside a table of the Eight Immortals, candied fruit and rice cakes were placed on the table, and several maids poured fine wine and warmed rice wine to the guests present like butterflies.

Several bigwigs from the Saxon shogunate sat around, including Zhongshuling Wang Sima, Archbishop Zhenhui, General Wanhu Han Shizhong, Deputy Military Envoy Zhang Shicheng, Minister of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Secretary Han Gang, and of course Wei Xunzhi Wei Guanzhi's two brothers, Griffith and Abu and other civil officials.

Basically, all the prominent figures in the shogunate were present, and the topic they wanted to talk about was Feng Sen's title of king.

"The Cha Manzi said he was the king of Saxony, but the commander disagreed."

Ying Abu didn't turn his head around: "Why not?"

Wei Xunzhi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Abu, Jie Shuai means that he doesn't want Charlie to crown him king, he wants to crown himself king, and I got the news that he is planning to crown Yan king?"

While talking, Wei Xunzhi looked at Zhenhui and Wang Sima who were sitting in the main seat.

Wang Sima stroked his beard. After this year's training, the down-and-out scholar is now a stalwart, and his image is also much more capable: "Of course."

Zhenhui turned the cup in her hand: "The question is how to become king?"

"What's the point?" Zhang Shicheng was confused this time.

Zhenhui smiled and said to Zhang Shicheng: "Who can make himself a king?"

Han Shizhong waved his hands impatiently: "It's not easy. We brothers first said that we want to drink, and tricked Jieshuai into the hall. After drinking and drinking, we found a person on the left and right, and then took a yellow robe and put it on the commander. Lastly, we shouted long live, and the matter was done."

Wang Sima frowned: "It's not that simple. You must first find an excuse, such as the auspiciousness of the white deer, and then say that it is the will of the heavenly father. This is the reason to be crowned king. But in order to show humility, Jie Shuai gave up three times. Finally, the yellow robe was added, and it was difficult to sit on the throne."

"Why is it so troublesome? A prince, hey, in Tang Dynasty, the prince doesn't seem to be worth much?"

"This is Europa after all. Besides, is the king of the Tang Dynasty really enfeoffed?" Zhenhui touched his bald head and said, "Besides, you have to be clear, once the Yan Kingdom is established, you will be the founder of the country. Can this blessing be so small? This is not just our matter, but also the matter of all Yabing Fubing, Han brothers, and even Banner brothers... In this way, Wang Sima and I can do it. You mainly need to communicate with the people below, so that they are mentally prepared."

"It's simple, the Fubing brothers have been waiting for the commander-in-chief to become the emperor."

"It's just the title of the king. Don't make a mistake." Wang Sima said hastily, "The title of the king comes second. The most important thing is that we have established a country. This is a land full of alien races, so we must be cautious."

Zhang Shicheng also rubbed his temples: "The people below don't know what to think."

Zhenhui sang Tathagata Heavenly Father: "The Franks see it as Charlie's decree, and they will probably obey it. The banner people have no opinion. I guess some priests will be dissatisfied, but it's okay. I will ask Felix to deal with them."

"Then it's settled."
