Xu Xun saw that Feng Yong was just sitting there deep in thought and had no intention of speaking again, so he reminded him carefully.
"Oh? For Si Niang? Give it to me, and I will transfer it to her for you when the time comes."
Feng Yong thought about the construction of a palace in Hanzhong, and he had so many thoughts in his mind that he couldn't sort them out for a while. He was thinking about going back and consulting his secretary.
Hearing what Xu Xun said, he subconsciously reached out.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xun's face showed some embarrassment, "Brother, this letter is a bit... special. I must hand it to Mrs. Zhang in person."
Feng Yong said "tsk", what's the difference between leaving your heart to me and leaving it to Siniang?
It's just that words like this can be said without words.
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to call her. Come, go and fetch Mrs. Zhang, and tell her that Mr. Xu has a letter to give to her."
At the same time, I feel a little strange. Others don't know. Does Xu Xun still know about his relationship with Siniang? Logically speaking, he shouldn't act like this...
Zhang Xingyi got the report from his servant and came over quickly.
Before the person entered the door, the voice came over first:
"Aren't you here? Why do you have to ask me to come over? What's the difference between leaving it to you and leaving it to me?"
You see, I knew this was the sentence.
A few strands of Zhang Xingyi's hair fell out from her temples, and her face was slightly flushed. It looked like she had just woken up and was probably a little irritated.
Xu Xun quickly stood up and explained: "Ms. Zhang, this is what the Queen personally told me. I must hand it over to you personally. I dare not disobey it!"
"Um?"
Feng Yong and Zhang Xingyi made confused sounds in tacit understanding.
Then the two looked at each other again.
Feng Yong spread his hands and indicated that he didn't know about this either.
It seems that Xu Ci has now become the confidant of Adou and his wife.
Even if he is not a true confidant, he is still a trusted minister.
Therefore, the queen did not send someone else to deliver it, but asked Xu Xun to bring it directly.
Zhang Xingyi's expression became serious: "Bring it here."
Xu Xun carefully took out the second oil bag.
Zhang Xingyi took the letter, glanced at Feng Yong invisibly, and then left directly.
After dinner and after dark, Guan Ji would go to bed with her child as usual.
Feng Junhou did not go to his study to sleep, nor did he go to Amei's house. Instead, he sneaked into Zhang Xingyi's small courtyard.
I pushed the door open with ease, and sure enough, it opened immediately.
Several candles were lit in the room, illuminating the room brightly.
The gauze curtain on the couch was lowered, and a figure could be vaguely seen lying inside.
Feng Yong tiptoed over, threw off his clogs, and climbed onto the couch.
The light shines through the thin gauze curtain, making the interior of the tent look a little hazy.
As soon as he entered the tent, there was a burst of fragrance. Zhang Xingyi was lying there on his side, looking at Feng Yong with a smile but not a smile.
"You are so brave now. You dare to climb onto my bed at night."
Zhang Xingyi sneered, "I'm not afraid of my sister breaking your legs."
Feng Yong lay down next to her nonchalantly, "Sanniang now has a child and everything is in order. She only cares about the child. I haven't been able to spend the night in her room for a long time."
As the head wife of the Feng Mansion and having given birth to a pair of children, no one can shake her position as the mistress.
Not to mention the queen, even the emperor must recognize her status.
To put it bluntly, one day God couldn't bear to see the bad things done by this country bumpkin, so he would just strike down and let me travel through time again.
Guan Ji can still hold the title of Marquis of Jiequanting firmly in her hands.
Who said that a burly woman could inherit a title?
In the past, Guan Ji was wary of herself and Siniang from time to time.
Now she just doesn't care.
Are you able to marry me in?
If the queen's sister marries in, she will also be a concubine.
If I want to stand up, there is no way.
"So you crawled onto my bed at night?"
Zhang Xingyi chuckled and kicked Feng Yong.
"Don't make trouble. There are a lot of mosquitoes outside. They can find a way in if there is a small crack."
Feng Yong pressed her calf with his foot. As he moved, he felt that the contact area was slippery, cool, and even comfortable.
"I came to see you tonight because I have something to do."
Zhang Xingyi pouted, "I knew you would come here, so I kept the door open!"
After saying that, he turned over and lay down side by side with Feng Yong, "Is it for my sister's letter today?"
Now that her relationship with Feng Yong has reached this stage, she has nothing to hide.
"I just guessed what the Queen's letter said." Feng Yong replied, "The Emperor intends to visit Hanzhong?"
Zhang Xingyi was not surprised that Feng Yong knew the news in advance. After all, the construction of the palace was handled by the Nanxiang engineering team. It was impossible to hide it from him.
"It's not the emperor, it's my sister who came here with the emperor's brother-in-law."
Zhang Xingyi said in a light tone, "Hanzhong was originally the place where the great Han Dynasty flourished. In the past, Hanzhong was too desolate, so the late emperor had to settle in Jincheng."
"Now Hanzhong is becoming increasingly prosperous, and the Han Dynasty is also showing signs of revival, so the emperor's brother-in-law plans to come to pay homage to the place where Emperor Gaozu raised his army."
Although he had thought of this possibility for a long time, Feng Yong couldn't help but sigh in admiration after getting the exact information from Zhang Xingyi:
"This move is really wonderful!"
After saying this, Feng Yong felt that he was still unable to express his admiration, so he added another sentence:
"This move is really cruel!"
Zhang Xingyi couldn't help but kicked him: "Speak carefully! My sister and the emperor's brother-in-law went to Hanzhong, and you said this, what's your intention?"
"I'm not talking about the Queen and the Emperor." Feng Yong quickly explained and admitted his mistake, "I didn't make it clear. I was talking about the Prime Minister."
Naturally, when the empress and the emperor's brother-in-law came to Hanzhong, they had to get the consent of the prime minister. It could not be said that it was the prime minister's arrangement.
But for this arrangement, Alang said it so harshly that Zhang Xingyi couldn't help but stand up, "How do you say it?"
Feng Yong recounted his thoughts about Nanzhong, Yuexun, and Hanzhong encircling the Shu plains a few days ago.
What's more important is that when Adou and his wife come to Hanzhong, the emperor may not be able to guard the country, but the emperor's personal presence on the front line will definitely boost the morale of the Han army.
Isn’t there an allusion to later generations?
Song Zhenzong was pulled to the front line. The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted. Under the blessing of the emperor's aura, the Song army shot a Liao army general to death with one arrow, forcing the Liao army to retreat.
"The Prime Minister has obviously spent the past two years to completely solve the constraints of the Shuzhong aristocratic families. If the emperor also goes to Hanzhong, then those aristocratic families in the Shu plain will never be able to turn around again."
Jincheng, as the current temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, was originally located in the territory of aristocratic families in central Shu.
If the emperor now stays in Hanzhong in the name of worshiping Emperor Gaozu, then the Shuzhong family will no longer have any leverage.
Solve the Qiang and Hu problems in Wenshan County and Hanjia County, strengthen control of Nanzhong, and finally remove the last bargaining chip from the Shuzhong family.
One link after another, all the space in the Shuzhong family was squeezed out.
Feng Yong gestured with his hands in the air and said gloatingly, "Nowadays, the aristocratic families in Shu feel like they have a rope around their necks, and the rope is getting tighter and tighter."
"One day, when they are out of breath..." Feng Yong stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes, and imitated a hanged man.
Zhang Xingyi patted him and said, "Oh, how disgusting!"
Feng Yong didn't care, and just summed it up: "You think, isn't this cruel enough?"
"Hey, you, the Prime Minister, have planned well for the country, but you say this."
Zhang Xingyi pushed him dissatisfied, "Besides, the Prime Minister didn't put on this rope alone, there was another person who was very powerful."
Feng Yongyong answered and pretended not to understand.
"When it comes to you, you act like you're pretending to be dead!"
Zhang Xingyi kicked him again.
Feng Yong couldn't hide and said helplessly:
"Don't talk nonsense! I am just a farmer and sheep farmer, and the most I can do is beat up Cao Cao's thieves. This kind of thing is all planned by the Prime Minister and has nothing to do with me."
"I've never even been in court, how can I plan such a major national event?"
The conscience of heaven and earth, naturally he and Zhuge Yao had some plans, but they were all plans for the Northern Expedition and the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, but there was no mention of any aristocratic family in central Shu.
"Oh?" Zhang Xingyi's eyes rolled around, and he laughed, "It's very rare to see a prince who can lead an army and defeat thieves, and be able to stabilize the country and bring peace to the people, but he has never even been in court!"
Perhaps because she thought this statement was too funny, Zhang Xingyi covered her mouth and finally lay down on the pillow, laughing non-stop.
When she was happy enough, she leaned into Feng Yong's ear and said softly: "But I have wronged Alang. You are a noble prince. You don't even know what the court is like, right?"
With soft words and itchy ears, Feng Yong tilted his head and coughed dryly, "Why are you aggrieved when you don't go to court?"
"Obviously, he is an important minister who is valued by both the prime minister and the emperor's brother-in-law, but he has never even been to court. If you ask someone who doesn't know about it, you would think that this is suppressing the meritorious minister. Isn't it called a grievance?"
Zhang Xingyi came to Feng Yong's side and asked softly
"What's this? I have to go to court early in the morning, so I might as well catch up on some sleep."
Besides, there are a bunch of uncles in the court, so what does it mean for a young man like me to be among them? It’s not enough for others to play with.
Thinking of this, Feng Yongyong couldn't help but sigh: "Which of those old foxes in the court is not a good person?"
Last year, Li Hui kept saying that his health was failing and he insisted on resigning as governor and moving to Hanzhong.
Feng Yong first thought that the imperial court was adjusting Nanzhong's strategy, and then thought that Li Hui was trying to avoid suspicion for the Li family in Nanzhong. Only now did he realize that all this was premeditated.
However, due to physical reasons, Feng Yong was really dumbfounded that he was still able to play tricks.
"Captain Li is ill. This is true. I'm not lying to you."
Zhang Xingyi reminded, "No matter what you say, Governor Li is still loyal to the country, and he has good intentions towards you. Don't misunderstand me."
"I know." Feng Yong replied, "Wenxuan and I are brothers. Governor Li has contributed a lot to the Xinghan Society's success in Nanzhong."
"Then you still look like this."
Zhang Xingyi said dissatisfied.
"I just sighed."
"Scared?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Feng Junhou put his hands behind his head, pillowed his head, and said harshly, "It's true that I'm a little scared..."
Zhang Xingyi laughed.
"Just laugh, don't kick people!"
"Okay, I won't kick you, I'll give you a chance."
"what chance?"
"Get ready. I'll go back to Hanzhong in a few months to learn from those old foxes and see the world."
Feng Yong was startled and sat up involuntarily: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Xingyi sat up and said, "When the emperor's brother-in-law comes to Hanzhong to pay homage to Emperor Gaozu, he must meet the generals who are leading the army outside, right?"
"You are now a pillar of the Han Dynasty. My sister even mentioned you in her letter, saying that the emperor's brother-in-law and she have not seen you for several years and miss you."
Zhang Xingyi smiled and said, "Sister, I specifically said that I want to meet General Feng's son and daughter."
"Old General Zhao is also going?"
Feng Yong asked.
"That's natural. Longyou is not far from Hanzhong. When we get to Qishan, we take a boat all the way down the river, which is very fast."
After leaving Yang'an Pass, there is a waterway called Xihanshui, which is the lifeline connecting Hanzhong and Longyou.
Ju County is right on the edge of the Western Han River.
After the Northern Expedition, the Han Dynasty deliberately dredged this waterway.
From Ju County to Qishan Mountain, it is not an easy walk upstream.
But from Qishan to Juxian, you just go down the river, which is very convenient.
"What if Cao Cao makes some moves?"
Feng Yong asked in surprise.
"Thieves Cao over there in Liangzhou, someone already wants to contact us here. Xu Miao can stabilize the four counties in Liangzhou. Even if he has the ability, do you still want to come over?"
Zhang Xingyi said disdainfully.
"I'm talking about Guanzhong."
"Every pass in Longshan is guarded. Even if Cao's thieves make any move, there will be enough time for you, the general, to return from Hanzhong to Pingxiang to take charge of the overall situation."
Zhang Xingyi said impatiently, "Besides, I'm just letting you go back, but I'm not letting the entire Qiang Colonel's Mansion go back. You have so many generals under your command, it's enough to stay and guard the Qiang Colonel's Mansion."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xingyi looked at Feng Yong suspiciously, "You don't want to see the emperor's brother-in-law so much?"
Am I afraid of meeting this little fat guy Adou?
"I'm just a little afraid of meeting the queen."
"What are you afraid of? My sister has always admired you."
Zhang Xingyi was puzzled.
"There is a medical worker in my house, but he has been detained by the queen."
"What's the meaning?"
"The queen has never had children, and I dare not see her."
What's more, he still brought his own children to see her?
It's strange to say that both Fan A and Li Dangzhi said that Zhang Xingcai's health was fine.
Moreover, in the past few years, the concubines in the palace have been reporting good news one after another, but Zhang Xingcai’s belly has not moved at all, which is strange!
If it weren't for the examples of Huang Yueying and Huang Wudie, and if Feng Junhou's reputation wasn't really good, the Queen might have suspected that the so-called disciple of a miracle doctor was actually a charlatan with two swords.
"That's why I asked you to bring your and Si Niang's children to make my sister happy."
When mentioning this matter, Zhang Xingyi was a little helpless. In the past few years, my sister has almost gone crazy thinking about children.
She pushed Feng Yong, "Um, do you have any other secret recipes?"
"What's the secret recipe?"
Feng never understood.
"My sister gave birth to a pair of children in one breath, but she made others envious of her. They all said you had a secret recipe for having children."
"Didn't you give the emperor's brother-in-law a secret recipe before? In the past few years, people in the palace have had children born every year, and they say it's because of your contribution..."
