Tang Yin said seriously: "Mr. Liang is already very old, and the distance from Yancheng to Mo is far away. It is not suitable for him to travel long distances. I heard that Mr. Liang has many disciples, why not send one of them who is most proud of him to go on his behalf?"
Tang Yin was still worried about directly sending Liang Feiyun to the Hundred War Army. If he had a different intention and responded to hundreds of calls in the army, leading 400,000 loyal people to defect and rebel, the consequences would be disastrous.
Liang Feiyun was silent for a moment, smiled and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Since the king has this request, the common people must obey the king's orders!"
He agreed to Tang Yin so simply, so he naturally had his own considerations. Now that Liang Yanlin has married Shangguan Yuanji, the fate of the Liang family is tied to Feng Guo. Helping Feng Guo is like helping the Liang family themselves.
In addition, the level of morale is indeed related to the success or failure of the battle. Once the Baizhan Army fails on the battlefield, the casualties will be Zhenren's children. If you want these 400,000 Zhenren soldiers to return in triumph, you must help them on the battlefield.
Defeat your opponent.
Therefore, whether it was public or private, Liang Feiyun had no reason to refuse Tang Yin. Since he could not refuse, he agreed simply to leave a good impression on Tang Yin.
Sure enough, when he heard that Liang Feiyun agreed to this matter, Tang Yin was overjoyed. He looked up and smiled and said: "Mr. Liang is worthy of being the great uncle. He is indeed a man who understands the truth!"
After a slight pause, he smiled and said: "The eldest uncle in the court, Mr. Zhang Xun, is already old and has long wished to retire and return to his hometown. Originally, I had the intention of letting Mr. Liang take over as Mr. Zhang..."
In the middle of his words, Shangguan Yuanji, Liang Feiyun and Liang Yanlin said almost in unison: "Your Majesty, you must not..."
The national conditions of each country are different, and their customs, etiquette traditions, and even the objects of belief and worship are also very different. Although Liang Feiyun was once the eldest uncle of the Zhen Kingdom, he could not be the eldest uncle of the Feng Kingdom no matter what.
If he were appointed to replace Zhang Xun, it would be too hasty and childish.
Tang Yin was actually just talking casually. Uncle Zong was in charge of a country's etiquette, laws and sacrifices. How could he use people from outside the Feng Kingdom? He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I will consider it carefully later."
After some time, I also feel that it is not appropriate to use Mr. Liang to take over the position of the great uncle. However, if a talent like Mr. Liang is buried, it will be a big loss for me. The king plans to appoint Mr. Liang as the national advisor. I don’t know, Liang
What do you think, sir?"
At that time, the national advisor, the left and right prime ministers, generals, and censors were all top-level officials, but they were not compulsory official positions. Currently, the only principality that has the post of national advisor is Sichuan.
Now that Tang Yin was going to confer Liang Feiyun as a national advisor, it was quite beyond the expectations of everyone present. Even Shangguan Yuanji took a breath and frowned subconsciously.
Liang Feiyun was stunned for a moment, stood up quickly, bowed and saluted: "I would like to thank you for your kindness. However, I have no merit and virtue. I am really embarrassed by this important task. I hope your Majesty will take back my life."
"Hey!" Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "The decision made by this king is naturally carefully considered. Mr. Liang should not shirk anymore. Yuanji, what do you think?" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked up again.
Guan Yuanji.
Shangguan Yuanji has followed Tang Yin for many years, and with just one look from the latter, he can understand whether his decision is sincere or false. Looking at Tang Yin's expression, it doesn't look like he was just talking casually. Shangguan Yuanji secretly wondered, although Liang Feiyun
It has some use value to Feng Guo, but it is not necessary to give him a high-ranking official like the National Preceptor all at once, so that he can become a top official who can be on par with the left and right prime ministers!
Of course, Liang Feiyun is now his in-law, and it is also a good thing for Shangguan Yuanji that he can be reused, but the latter really can't understand Tang Yin's intention.
His heart was full of confusion, but he still followed Tang Yin's words and said: "What the king said makes sense! High-ranking officials and generous salaries are meant for virtuous people. Oh... If dad refuses, he will really let down the king's good intentions!"
Both Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanji said so, and they were very conclusive and sincere in their attitude. It was obvious that asking themselves to serve as Feng Guo's national advisor was not a false courtesy, so Liang Feiyun had to seriously consider it.
No matter how you think about it, this is not a bad thing for him.
He becomes the national advisor of the Feng Kingdom. Personally speaking, the Liang family can further establish a foothold in the Feng Kingdom. Publicly speaking, it will greatly enhance Zhenren's status in the Feng Kingdom. This is a good thing that has the best of both worlds.
.
But there is no free pie in the sky. Tang Yin would make such a decision, and he must have a motive, but what is his motive? Liang Feiyun couldn't figure this out.
He turned to look at Liang Yanlin and found that his daughter also had a confused look on her face, looking thoughtful. She didn't understand what Tang Yin's intention was.
He was in a state of confusion. Just as he was thinking over and over again, Tang Yin asked again: "Mr. Liang, I wonder how you think about it?"
Liang Feiyun was heartbroken and said to himself: No matter what, just take it one step at a time! He lifted up his clothes, knelt down respectfully and gave a great gift, and kowtowed forward: "I am a humble minister, Liang Feiyun, thank you for your kindness!"
Tang Yin stood up straight, walked around the table, walked to Liang Feiyun, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Master Liang, please get up quickly! From now on, our country of Feng will undoubtedly be more powerful than a tiger with the help of Master Liang. It is really a blessing for the country!"
"
This day was a double joy for both the Shangguan family and the Liang family. First, the two families got married and reached a marriage. Second, Liang Feiyun ascended to the sky in one step, from a down-and-out aristocrat of the Zhen Kingdom to a person under the Feng Kingdom.
There are more than ten thousand national advisors. The most important thing is that Feng Kingdom did not have the position of national advisor before. This is equivalent to setting it up specifically for Liang Feiyun. From this, we can also see how much the king values him.
For a period of time thereafter, the Liang family became famous in Feng Country, and Liang Feiyun was so popular that almost no one could surpass him.
When Tang Yin left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangguan Yuanji came out to see him off in person. Others saw off guests just outside the door of the mansion, but he saw off guests all the way to the carriage, and finally even got in himself.
Seeing Shangguan Yuanji follow him into the carriage, Tang Yin knew what he wanted to ask without him having to ask.
He was the first to speak with a smile and explained: "There was no national division in our country before. The power of the government was in your hands, and the military and political power was in the hands of Qiu Zhen. Now that the national division is established, it is just a decoration, just an empty shell. No matter who is responsible for it,
It doesn’t matter whether you do it or not.”
Shangguan Yuanji didn't say anything, and still looked straight at Tang Yin. He didn't need to think about it, as soon as he heard these words, he knew that they were not what the king meant.
Seeing his expression, Tang Yin understood that he could not hide it from him. He shrugged, suppressed his smile, lowered his voice, and said quietly: "Your father-in-law has a high reputation among the people. This is very important to our country. Not only can he
Win over the Zhen people who are currently in our country. In the future, when our country wants to regain Zhen land, with your father-in-law here, you will definitely get the support of the people of Zhen land, and our country's military use will become twice the result with half the effort!"
Ah? Recover Zhendi? Shangguan Yuanji was shocked, the king actually used the word "recover", but when did Zhendi become the Feng Kingdom? He asked: "Does the king still plan to use troops against Zhendi?"
"Hmph!" Tang Yin squinted his eyes and sneered, and said: "Six countries conquered Zhen, but Chuan, Mo, An, and Huan could all get the land of Zhen country, but our Feng country couldn't even divide a city or town.
Come on, how can there be such a truth in the world? What's more, the Zhen Kingdom has been destroyed, and the Zhen Land should have been returned to the Emperor, but now it is occupied by Chuan, Mo, An, and Huan. We should also help the Emperor take back the Zhen Land!
"
Alas! The battle of Fengmo hasn't started yet, but the king has chosen the next target! Shangguan Yuanji sighed secretly. At first, it was the king himself who promised Han not to take half an inch of Zhenguo's land, but now he thinks it's unreasonable. In fact, that's all
It's just an excuse. It's true that I want to take over the huge virgin land for myself.
Tang Yin had great ambitions. Shangguan Yuanji had always known this. But when Tang Yin said that he wanted to regain Zhendi, he clearly felt that the king's ambition could not be satisfied by annexing one or two principalities. He wanted to
of all the countries in the world.
"I...understand the king's intention." The reason why Tang Yin elevated Liang Feiyun to the position of Imperial Preceptor was actually to provide him with good food, drink and hospitality. If one day he really wanted to confront Zhendi
Once troops are used, Liang Feiyun will be able to play his role.
Tang Yin patted Shangguan Yuanji on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Yuan Rang, Liang Feiyun is your father-in-law. Don't worry, I will never harm him."
Shangguan Yuanji nodded and said: "I have never worried about this, I just feel that... if our country uses troops against Zhendi in the future, it will be very difficult!"
Zhendi is occupied by the four kingdoms of Sichuan, Mo, An, and Huan. Even if the Mo Kingdom is destroyed, there are still three kingdoms of Sichuan, An, and Huan. If they want to use troops against Zhendi, it is equivalent to being an enemy of these three kingdoms. The Feng Kingdom can only rely on its own strength.
Can it be done?
"We'll talk about the future later, but it's always good to prepare in advance!" Tang Yin said with a smile: "Okay, I'm going back to the palace. You, the groom, don't want to run away and go back to the palace with me, right?"
"
Shangguan Yuanji smiled, raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, I have to retire!" Tang Yin did intend to take advantage of Liang Feiyun, but he had no intention of harming him. Understanding this made Shangguan Yuanji feel at ease a lot.
Seeing that he was about to get out of the car, Tang Yin reminded him half-jokingly: "The Liang family girl is beautiful, Yuan Ji must pay attention to your health. After all, the government will be very busy these days, so you can't fail to do what you want!"
Shangguan Yuanji's old face turned red when he heard this, and he was embarrassed to answer. When he got outside the carriage, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
It was a worthwhile trip for Tang Yin to attend Shangguan Yuanji's wedding. Zhenren's affairs were completely settled. Next, he really had to start preparing for the war against Mo.
