After Feng Ziying went out, Chai Ke raised his head and said quietly: "Xiu Ling, have you and I gone too far?"
Yang He also sighed, "But besides Feng Ziying, who else can take on this responsibility? Chu Cai can go, but a foreign minister who is a member of the Ministry of War can still have some influence in the army. Who would recognize him on the grassland? Zhang
Jin? With your identity as Long Jinwei, it's okay to scare merchants and common people, but when you meet a tribal chief like Bu Shitu, he knows what you do?"
"I just didn't expect Feng Tang to be like this..." Chai Ke also shook his head. He was not willing to have a grudge with Feng Tang because of this matter. He relied heavily on Feng Tang to suppress the rebellion. If Feng Tang felt resentful because of this, he would only
I'm afraid I'll have a bad fate.
"It's understandable. If it were you and me, we only have this only son, but if we let him go to the grassland, I'm afraid I would be even more resentful and angry." Yang He also shook his head, and then thought of something and asked: "If Ziying had been there before
If I don’t want to go, does Brother Zishu still want him to go?”
"That won't happen. Feng Ziying is extremely smart. If he doesn't have some confidence, he won't dare to take on this important task. If he doesn't have some confidence, I won't dare to hand over this responsibility to him." Chai Ke had calmed down at this time, his gaze
An Sui said, "If I am not sure about such a big matter, I would rather be conservative and let Chu Cai go."
"But Brother Zishu, you have given too much authority to Ziying. If in the future..."
Yang He thought for a while and said again, but was immediately interrupted by Chai Ke: "Xiu Ling, I understand what you mean, but in the long run, if the war continues for a long time, the two towns of Ningxia and Gansu may be poisoned.
It is so rotten. How much will the court spend on relief and reconstruction in the future? Or will it just give up? I am afraid that this is a burden that the court cannot bear. So before leaving, the emperor and Mr. Ye Ge talked about this matter with me, and they would not hesitate to do anything.
The price, end the war as soon as possible, otherwise we will only pay more price
Yang He also sighed, "Every gain must come with a loss. There is no other way."
Feng Ziying chased her father back to the General Military Mansion. When she saw her father entering the study, she quickly followed him in.
Two slaps hit Feng Ziying's face so hard that stars appeared in Feng Ziying's eyes. He couldn't remember the last time he received such a severe beating.
My face suddenly became hot.
"father!"
"This is to teach you to think carefully before doing anything in the future." Feng Tang's cold words made Feng Ziying understand that her father was really angry this time, "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?! I really think your father
Is your influence on the grassland big enough to keep you safe?"
"No, dad,..." Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, and she felt a little more surprised and confident. It seemed that her guess was right. Dad really has a deep relationship with the Tatars, "Mr. Chai
Mr. Yang came to me and told me about this matter and introduced the situation. I felt that I was the only one who was more suitable to be sent as an envoy..."
"Envoy? What kind of bullshit envoy? Are you representing the imperial court? You are a personal representative of Chai Ke, and you have to add the aura of your father, otherwise do you think that the fortune teller, the rabbit, and the monk Zai will care about you?"
At this time, Feng Tang didn't have the rage he had in front of Chai Ke and Yang He before. Instead, he was calm and thoughtful, "I felt something was wrong before, but I didn't expect them to be so cruel and persuade you first."
Heartbroken,..."
"Dad, you know they told me first..." Feng Ziying was surprised.
"Hmph, do you think Chai Ke and Yang He are stupid people? You are already famous. Your agreement to such a big thing shows that you understand the grassland situation. You and I have even discussed it and are quite sure. That's why we
If you dare to agree, if you hesitate, it shows that you and I have no idea. You are a bastard. Letting you go will not achieve the goal and delay the matter. If something happens to you, in addition to attracting my resentment,
, what else could there be?”
Feng Tang's words made Feng Ziying stunned. It took a long time to come back to her senses and said in a harsh voice: "Dad, you all knew this a long time ago?"
"Hmph, do you think we are all as simple-minded as you?" Feng Tang snorted lightly.
"Dad, you were so angry just now..." Feng Ziying was confused.
"It can only be said that there is not much danger from a large level, but once we enter the grassland, it is beyond our control. Who knows how many accidental factors there are?" Feng Tang looked at Feng Ziying with hatred and irony: "I don't explode like that.
Ichiban, can Chai Ke and Yang He remember how much you and I have contributed to the imperial court?"
Feng Ziying was really stunned. These were all performing artists, but she was still a little behind.
I thought my father really refused to agree for his own safety, but what happened?
It’s all a routine!
Acting school!
Seeing that his son was lost and depressed, Feng Tang shook his head: "Ziying, your father has been living in the border areas for decades and has never seen anything. Dad, please tell you the truth. It is not difficult to suppress the rebellion."
, whether it's Kuai Bai or Liu Dongyang, it won't be successful. The great Zhou Dynasty is not exhausted yet. The problem is how to quell the rebellion in the shortest possible time."
Feng Ziying slowly tasted it.
"Once the war is prolonged and the two towns and even the entire Shaanxi are destroyed, the two towns in Ningxia and Gansu may become a bleeding wound for the court after the war. If the court wants to avoid this situation, it will require a large amount of food and money for relief and recovery. The court can get it
Come out? If you can’t come out, there may be endless rebellions and banditry, which will also keep everyone in the court awake at night, do you understand?"
"So, giving up some things to the Tatars on the grassland, just like you said, leaving the grassland tribes with no time to care about, is a good trick, but treating the symptoms rather than the root cause can only be said to be a temporary response. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves.
, but we can gain time now." At this point, Feng Tang glanced at his son suspiciously, "Ziying, how come the views of Chai Ke and Yang He are similar to what you told me before? Could it be that you took the initiative to negotiate with me?
Did they say that, or did they just take the initiative to ask for help?"
Seeing that her father was acting violently again, Feng Ziying quickly explained: "No, Dad, how could I be so naive? Mr. Chai and Mr. Yang came to me and talked about this matter, and I also mentioned some of my views and opinions with them.
It's relatively consistent, and finally it comes to whether I can go to the grassland. You also know that Mr. Chai must have some agenda when he orders me to be the general. Under such circumstances, how can I refuse? And I also know that you must be in the grassland.
There are some arrangements, hehe,..."
"How do you know?" Feng Tang asked suddenly, staring at his son.
"Hey, when I was in Datong, even though you were no longer the commander-in-chief, weren't there some people from the grassland who came to visit you? I think those people were sent by the chiefs of the grassland tribes, right? And they gave you gifts.
Not even light,..."
Feng Tang laughed and said, "Little bastard, you observe these things very carefully."
Feng Ziying smiled and said nothing.
Feng Tang pondered for a moment, "If you must go and earn this credit, it is not impossible to go. Our Feng family has been in Datong for decades, whether it is Tumut people, Chahar people, or Ordos people.
Okay, Yong Xie Bubu, we all have some friendship, but friendship is friendship. When it comes to the life and death interests of the tribe, people will not buy it. You have to understand this. But with this friendship, they will not
You won’t have to do everything right. After all, your father is still serving as the commander-in-chief in Yulin. The Feng family and the Duan family still have some connections inside and outside the border wall. They will have to deal with us in the future..."
Sighing again, Feng Tang still couldn't help but said: "If you can't go, it's best not to go. After all, there are too many unexpected factors when entering the grassland. You might encounter a group of blind rogues and something will happen. Afterwards,
Even if we can find them and come back for revenge, so what? Our porcelain cannot touch the earthen pots."
"Dad, it's meaningless for you to talk about this now." Feng Ziying smiled sarcastically.
"Maybe we should let you get married early and have children. Even if something happens to you, ah, bah!" Feng Tang also felt that it was unlucky and usually didn't care about it, but it was different when it happened to his own son.
, "With the heir, you can be more practical and steady yourself. Your mother and I will also be able to explain to the Feng family in the future. Your mother wrote a letter saying that you have several girls from the Jia family in your house. This matter is over.
You will be almost sixteen when you return, so you will take them in and give me a grandson as soon as possible. As for getting married, there is no need to be in such a hurry..."
Seeing that her father had taken the topic too far, Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, let's talk about this matter far away, let's talk about it now."
"Huh, far away? Not far away. Qiao Yingjia sent a letter to my father, talking about Shen Jue's legitimate daughter. My father thought it was okay and has already replied to the letter. After you go back, you can discuss it with your Master Qiao.
Proposed marriage to the Shen family." Feng Tang paused, "If you suppress the rebellion this time, I think the court will reward you. As a father, you can ask the court to let you inherit the title of nobility and hold the title of eldest son. The daughter of the Shen family can join your uncle's family.
house,……"
Feng Ziying frowned, but at this time he had no intention of entangled with his father on this matter, "Dad, tell me about the things on the grassland. My son is going to see the fortune teller rabbit and the rabbit rabbit. Zaiseng, please tell your son."
That’s the situation.”
"Well, let me tell you briefly first. When you go there, I will ask Feng Zuo to follow you. He is the most familiar with the grassland and has met several leaders there. You can ask him more on the way.
"Feng Tang nodded. It was related to his son's life. Of course he would not ignore it.
"..., Bu Shitu is the eldest son of Chao Tu Taiji. Chao Tu Taiji was familiar with your uncle, but it was a pity that he died early. He once brought the young Bu Shitu to Datong, and later Chao Tu Taiji died.
, Bu Shitu ran to the West Sea, but he is the eldest grandson after all. According to the rules of the grassland, if Zalik died, it was him who should sit on the throne of Tumut Khan. However, although the rules of status are valued on the grassland,
He pays more attention to strength. Without strength, he will not be able to sit firmly in this position. Although his strength is weaker, he still has the support of some elders in the tribe who can overpower his brothers..."
"..., after Zhulitu, Zaiseng, Achitu, and Lady Bintu parted ways and fled into the Hetao, they lived in misery for a time. Their tribes wandered around and lost a lot. Later, they became friends with your second uncle, and your second uncle became a good friend.
Showed them a way, and they went to Bansheng to be a resident pastor in Huangfuchuan. They were once squeezed and suppressed by other tribes in Ordos, and it was all because of your second uncle who gave them some support..."
"..., and there are the Han people in Bansheng and Hetao. Well, I'm afraid you also know that they are all members of the White Lotus sect. But after Anda paid tribute, Zhao Quan and Li Zixin were handed over to the court for beheading by Anda.
These Han people no longer trust the Tatars, but in the past twenty years, these Han people have dispersed into several tribes. In Hetao, these tribes are mainly engaged in farming. The leader Zhao Chongshan is the nephew of Zhao Quan. If necessary, you can contact him.
He has contacts with my father, and Li Ziting is Li Zixin's cousin and one of the leaders. He even came to my father last year. He has a close relationship with your uncle..."
Under the oil lamp, Feng Tang patiently started tutoring his son, which was related to Feng Ziying's success or failure after entering the grassland.
