The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes darkened.
Peel away the layer of peace and tranquility on the surface, and underneath there are warriors and warriors fighting each other.
"King Chen, why did you return to the imperial capital?" The emperor also got straight to the point.
He still remembered that after the battle in Northern Xinjiang, Feng Danyuan returned and the two had a conversation.
"The mountains and rivers are fine. Are they the mountains and rivers of Yun State, the mountains and rivers of Northern Xinjiang, or the mountains and rivers of Kyushu?" he asked.
"Kiuzhou is fine, Natural Yun State is fine, and Northern Xinjiang is fine." Feng Danyuan replied.
"What about the Lord of Kyushu?"
"You, or the prince." Feng Danyuan said frankly at that time.
He once thought that in this life, the war god of the Yun Kingdom would "go away, hide his body and name" and go to the northern Xinjiang.
However, Feng Danyuan came back.
People will change, and the vows made at the beginning do not mean a lifetime of promises.
He is like this, Feng Danyuan was brought out by him, so naturally he is like this.
When he said "Delivery to the Yun Kingdom's 800,000-strong army", Feng Danyuan did not reject it outright - since it was not the case, then he had something in mind.
Feng Danyuan met the emperor's probing eyes and did not flinch: "Your Majesty, I returned to the imperial capital for two purposes: first, to visit relatives; second, to request to regain control of Yun Kingdom's 800,000-strong army."
Just as the emperor understands Feng Danyuan, Feng Danyuan also understands the emperor: the emperor is a wise emperor, but he is also suspicious. Since he has asked so clearly, if he does not confess, it will be deceiving the emperor, and there is no possibility of being trusted.
As expected, when Feng Danyuan was so straightforward, the emperor's face brightened slightly: "Tell me the reason."
Naturally refers to the second thing.
Feng Danyuan said casually: "I met my old subordinates at the border. I heard that not only had the army not been paid for several months, but the soldiers were also bullied. The old troops felt that there was no future as a soldier, so they planned to disband and return to the fields to sell tea eggs."
"Is there such a thing?" The emperor had to pretend to be stupid when he should.
"Whether it is, we will find out once we check it. It is best if it is not. If it is, do you think I can tolerate my bad temper?" Feng Danyuan asked back.
The emperor replied in his heart: Those who bully you, Feng Danyuan, are worse than those who bully you. You will see the devil only if you can bear it.
But as the king of a country, he has a sense of self-restraint and cannot respond so bluntly: "You are almost thirty, it's time to control your temper."
Feng Danyuan replied silently in his heart: I'm sorry, I was reborn, and now I'm only twenty.
On his face, he responded with the same restraint as the emperor: "Yes, I have taken note of the emperor's words. After I return, I will recite Buddhist scriptures more and cultivate my character."
The emperor glanced at him: More than ten years ago, you stood up for the queen and the prince and hurt the noble concubine's clan. I punished you by copying Buddhist scriptures and thinking about your fault. Is it useful? As soon as you came out, you still ignored the difference between men and women, regardless of dignity.
Lifting her legs, she kicked the concubine in the heart.
Thinking of the past, the emperor's face became calmer.
"Dan Yuan, if you take charge of Yun Kingdom's 800,000-strong army, I will make a three-part agreement with you."
As Feng Danyuan expected, the emperor made conditions. He nodded and said, "I am all ears."
"First, you have to settle the matter of military pay yourself."
Feng Danyuan said nothing and looked calm.
The emperor was a little puzzled. He didn't even bother with this. He didn't have the temperament of this kid who was always willing to spend every penny.
