Chapter 410: On the Self-cultivation of a Courtier
“What is this?”
Li Longji stood beside two huge golden eagles and looked at the box in Yang Feng's hand and said.
"Your Majesty, these are two operas written by me in my leisure time on my journey to the south. One is based on the rumor of the filial wife of Donghai, called "Dou E Injustice", and the other is that I heard the folk rumors of the soldiers in the army, called "Lihun Ji", but it has just been written without rehearsal. The Ming Palace is full of talents, and Your Majesty is a hundred times more talented than me, so I ask Your Majesty to correct me."
Yang Feng said shamelessly.
Then he handed the plagiarized and rewritten Guan Hanqing's "Injustice to Dou E" and Zheng Guangzu's "A Chinese Lieze" to the eunuch next to him.
"Ha, ha, you still understand me!"
Li Longji happily took it.
"Okay, okay, your "Single Sword Club" is now my favorite drama. Even the ministers in the court are always invited to watch it. I am just trying to let them imitate it and make new dramas. I didn't expect you to have prepared it here. This is really great. I think in the past six months, Gui Nian and others have something to do. You are really my treasure. Give me some good things from time to time. You are invincible in war. Even I admire what you do. You can write this opera. You are really the pillar of the country with all talented people in civil and military affairs. I really don't know how to appreciate you!"
While reading "The Injustice of Dou E", he couldn't help but talk.
It turns out that he is so happy.
Then Yang Feng decided to stimulate him for a while.
"Your Majesty, there is something here. In the boring and boring Western Regions, I have made some changes to chess in addition to mahjong to make it more interesting. Please give it a try!"
He brought out modern chess.
"Your Majesty, how about we play in one game?"
Then he said.
"Okay, I want to see your chess skills!"
Li Longji put down two booklets and said with a smile.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came. Yang Feng raised his head and saw a giant war horse in the sunlight that looked like a white halo in the sun, shaking his mane that was almost dragged to the ground, carrying a beautiful woman as bright as the sun on his back, and smilingly looking down at him who looked stupid.
"The imperial concubine is really like a fairy descending to earth!"
Yang Feng sighed sincerely while paying homage to Sister Yuhuan.
"Hmph, I'm talking so casually, I'm just dealing with it. The clouds are floating in green, the flowers are beautiful and red. The eyes are cut into autumn water, and the ten fingers are peeled onions!"
Sister Yuhuan said gloomyly.
"Is this written by Fengsheng?"
Li Longji said curiously.
Sister Yuhuan did not answer and continued to stare at Yang Feng with murderous intent.
"All the world is full of beauty, and the color of the world is like dust!"
The latter was not panicked at all, but thoughtful, and then said to Sister Yuhuan with a tentative expression.
Sister Yuhuan suddenly burst into laughter.
“The color of the world is like dust!”
Yang Feng and Li Longji looked at each other and said almost at the same time.
Of course, the little thing he and Mrs. Guo State were actually no longer a secret. Even though he was sneaking in at night, those ladies who had a love affair with him might not be all kept silent. Besides, what kind of lady Guo State is, Chang'an is well-known. If this pretty widow puts Yang Feng, a handsome and elegant woman, and is said to have amazing combat power, even Ye Yu Ten Girls is not the legendary good brother, but can be a chaste woman. It is simply the sun coming out of the west, so Yang Feng had no reaction to the four lines of his poems that he passed into Sister Yuhuan's ears.
"This horse is worthy of the noble lady!"
Yang Feng said to Sister Yuhuan who was coming down from the white Andalusia immediately.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a horse in this world. Compared with this Taixi horse, even if the sweat and blood horses lost their glory, there was no one in my stable that could be compared with it!"
Li Longji said.
The man loved at this time, nothing more than riding day and night. Now both are the best, so they are naturally very visually impactful. Yang Feng sent him two horses in total. Li Longji's one was a red horse, with a shoulder height of more than 1.7 meters, which was taller than Sister Yuhuan. Sister Yuhuan was just beautiful. Speaking of which, when did Li Longji see such a horse? The two best horses in his stable were the bloody horses paid by King Ningyuan. Even the Ahalte Golden Horse could not compare with the Andalusian horse. The former had a shoulder height of 1.5 meters, and the latter had a shoulder height of 1.5 meters, which was the minimum standard body shape.
The advantages and disadvantages of these two types of horse battlefields are not counted, but the Andalusian horse crushes the sweaty and bloody horse.
"Your Majesty, Teesy has a bigger horse!"
Yang Feng suddenly said from the side.
“Biger?”
Li Longji said in shock.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is bigger than this, and much larger. Compared with that, this kind of war horse is almost the same as the Uighur horse. The shoulder height of that kind of war horse is more than one foot higher than this, and it is said that it is almost ten feet high on the top of the head."
Yang Feng said.
"Give it for me!"
Li Longji said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, this minister really cannot do it. This horse is only produced in England, a small country of Taixi. It is the westernmost end of the land, almost the westernmost end of the land. And like Japan, it is a large island in the sea. The straight distance from Chang'an to its land is more than 20,000 miles. It is actually impossible to reach it at all, because there are still Dashi, Fushi, and the countries of Taixi. Moreover, there is no business road to the west of Fushi. Whether it is Dashi or Fushi, it is impossible for us to go over to get a horse. It is too far away. I really cannot do it!"
Yang Feng said.
What he was talking about was naturally the Sharma. It was not called Sharma at this time, but its predecessor, the Friesian horse. Of course, this is not important, even the predecessor is definitely equally huge, but when he asked him to make this thing, it would be...
I can't do it!
"I don't care about this. You just need to answer me. Will I see this horse in my lifetime?"
Li Longji said.
"This is OK, this minister can guarantee that it is just that I need to do a lot of things."
Yang Feng said.
"I don't care what you do. I just need to get this horse in my lifetime. As long as I can get this horse, do whatever you need. I just like Emperor Wu of Han, who lets you be the envoy of the Tianma and give you troops. If you need to conquer big food, go to conquer big food. If you need to conquer fuji, go to conquer fuji. In short, no matter how you do, I allow you to do anything to conquer Tianma, as long as you can send this horse to me in my lifetime!"
Li Longji continued.
"I obey the order!"
Yang Feng said solemnly.
Well, that's what he wanted. He mentioned this for this. He had to obtain the legal basis for expanding westwards and obtain the authorization given to him by Li Longji. As long as Li Longji gave him this power, it would be legal for him to launch foreign wars, and he was within the scope of the mission of Ying Tianma. Anyway, he didn't need the court's money, he collected taxes in his own jurisdiction, and supported his own army. This would have no impact on the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. With the big sign of Ying Tianma, there would be no resistance from the court. He could go west to randomly toss those neighboring countries and expand step by step.
It is indeed exaggerating to welcome Tianma at this time.
But it would be no exaggeration to cross the Caspian Sea and directly hit the Black Sea, and then build a ship on the Black Sea and go to Europe on the Mediterranean.
At this time, he was already on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, and Huoxun had returned to the Tang Dynasty. All he needed was how to cross the Caspian Sea, which he had planned before, to occupy a land in northern Persia, and then build a ship northward across the Caspian Sea to beat the Khasa Khanate. This country is basically equivalent to Crimea. Its territory extends from the east to the west of the Caspian Sea to the northern coast of the Black Sea with the Volga River Basin as the core. Yang Feng's fleet could expand its sphere of influence to the Black Sea, and then build new ocean-going sailboats and even naval guns there, and the rest would be to sweep Europe.
Li Longji died in 19762, and there were still eight years left before this. If nothing unexpected happened, he might have seen Sharma alive.
Of course, this doesn't matter.
It is hard to say that Yang Feng was still a loyal minister and general of the Tang Dynasty eight years later. Even if he was still a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he would have become Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, or even Zhu Wen.
Of course Li Longji wouldn't know about this.
After sitting down with Li Longji and playing several improved chess games and personally guiding Sister Yuhuan to play chess with Li Longji, Yang Feng left with a happy mood. He had just walked away not far away and was stopped by Gao Lishi who was coming towards him.
"Bohai Gong!"
Yang Feng hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
He still has a good impression of Gao Lishi. In fact, he has a good impression of many eunuchs, which is mainly influenced by Wang Chengen. He does not have the habit of eunuchs harming the country and the people. In fact, eunuchs are more loyal to the royal family than officials. For example, this old eunuch who is the same age as Li Longji. Gao Lishi, who is tall, fair and rich, looks like a good impression of Gao Lishi. This old man is truly loyal to Li Longji to death. The deep feelings between the two old guys may still be above Sister Yuhuan. If Li Longji hadn't said this, Yang Feng would have suspected that they had an affair. The only person who asked Li Longji to be buried beside him after his death was Gao Lishi who had been demoted to the distance at that time.
"Fengsheng, do you have any leisure time in the evening? I host a banquet at home to entertain some friends. If you have nothing to do, why not go over and have a few drinks together."
Gao Lishi said with a smile.
"Uh, the elders told me, why dare I not obey?"
Yang Feng hurriedly bowed and said.
"Okay, okay, I'm waiting that night!"
Gloris said.
Chapter completed!
