Chapter 318
Another month later, at the imperial palace meeting, Li Jing, who had returned to Chang'an, was reporting the cause and effect of this incident, as well as the final outcome of all parties.

When it came to the Taishanghuang and Bai Fan discussing to use their bodies as bait to travel all over the Tang Dynasty, many courtiers stood up to express their opposition. speak against it.

Li Er waved his hand and signaled the old servant Gao to read the "Yueyang Tower" written by Bai Fan. When the courtiers heard the sentence, worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later, some people bowed their heads in shame. , Some people were nodding to show their approval, some were sighing in admiration, but no one expressed any objection. Compared with this young man who did not enter the court, everyone was more a politician than a court official.

Lingnan Road, during the Tang Dynasty, occupied the current two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi. The area is densely covered with mountains and forests, full of miasma. Since ancient times, it has been regarded as a barren land by the Central Plains with few people.

In the pre-Qin period, this place belonged to the land of Baiyue. The Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun counties established in the Qin Dynasty were called the three counties of Lingnan. During the Han Dynasty, this place was always ruled by the Han people. The site of Shixie in Jiaozhou.

Now Lingnan is in the hands of Feng An. The Feng An family, since the former Sui Dynasty, his grandmother Mrs. Xian put down the rebellion in Lingnan and began to rule Lingnan. In the hands of Feng An, it has been operating for many years. Even at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos At that time, the Feng family still did not establish themselves as kings, all because of a family motto from their ancestors: China is orthodox!

Feng An did not expect that a few months ago, a special envoy from the Tang Dynasty would come to write a letter, claiming that the Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty would come to Lingnan to condolence to the soldiers who worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, he would come to visit Feng An, the Duke of Yue who had been guarding Lingnan for many years. .

Lingnan has been regarded as a place of poverty since ancient times. Many dynasties used it as a place where prisoners were exiled. Therefore, the magistrates here, in the eyes of everyone, are places where they suffer. If they are sent here to run the place, many people Everyone would think that this official was exiled by the court in disguise.

As for why even so, there were still so many people participating in Feng An's disobedience in the court at that time, nothing else, court politics, if Feng An was rude to the monarch, the courtiers turned a blind eye, then the emperor would be the first What I remembered was not Feng An, but the courtiers who were watching his jokes.

With a nervous mood, he kept sending people north to inquire about the news. After calculating the time, Feng An was waiting for him in Shaozhou, the northernmost city in the south of the Lingnan, but no one was there. Datang made a joke on a whim to comfort himself.

Somewhat disheartened, Feng An was about to go back home, but at this time another team of special envoys arrived, and explained in detail the matter of the Supreme Emperor being in danger and being blocked for a month. Only then did Feng An realize that he had misunderstood. He thought that with the incident of distress, the matter of the Supreme Emperor's condolences to Lingnan would be useless, but what moved him was that Li Yuan insisted on coming regardless of the danger of his life.

Feng An was really convinced by the behavior of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan this time, and he had no doubts about the attitude of the Tang Dynasty this time. In the past, I heard that there were special envoys coming, but it was just a routine of the Tang Dynasty, and it did not even have any personal touch. Many people said that Li Yuan came here for pleasure, but now it seems that he really came here with sincerity.

No more hesitation, in order to show his sincerity in Lingnan, Feng An wrote to the imperial court to send three thousand Lingnan monkey troops north to meet the Supreme Emperor. Li Yuan readily agreed after seeing it, this is a great thing.

"My minister, Feng An, sees the Supreme Emperor..."

On the edge of Shaozhou, Feng An waited for two months, and finally Li Yuan came. Before the salute was over, Li Yuan stepped forward and grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Ming Yuan (Feng An's word), it's been a long time! I'm hurting you!" Waiting here for two months is my fault."

"The Emperor Taishang's remark made this lowly minister disheartening. It is a great honor for my Feng family to come to Lingnan in person regardless of the danger.

A few rebellious sons, why don't you come over to greet the Supreme Emperor? "

Feng Ang spoke sincerely, while yelling at the children behind him.

At this moment, three young men came out from the Lingnan side, and they knelt down to Li Yuan to salute, "Feng Zhichen, Feng Zhidai, and Feng Zhiyu from Lingnan pay their respects to the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Excuse me, get up quickly and let me see Brother Mingyuan's three unicorn sons. Back then, I was an official in the same dynasty as your father, so there is no need to be so polite, just call me uncle. I like to meet the young talents of my Datang the most."

Feng An introduced with a smile: "These are the three incompetent children of the lower officials. It is not a good place to live in Lingnan. I heard that there is a new Zhongnan Academy in Chang'an, which is very famous. Many children of colleagues have grown up in it. I still want to When will I send the three of them to be trained?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Hahahaha, you are asking the right person about this matter. Zhongnan Academy is indeed a place where talents are bred. I also served as an honorary vice president in a private capacity. The three children want to enroll. You can come and ask the dean of the academy about it, and he just happened to follow.

In short, come, I have met the Duke of Yue that I mentioned to you along the way.

Oh, Yuanba, Chengqian, Ping'er, you all come here too, Mingyuan is Datang's thigh, come here quickly to pay respects. "

Like Feng An, Li Yuan also asked the younger generation of his Li family to perform the gift of juniors to Feng An, and everyone respected Feng An even more. He personally led Li Yuan and the others to Shaozhou, and hosted a banquet for everyone.

Along the way, I heard Li Yuan talk about Bai Fan's various heroic deeds, and Feng An was very impressed. He was able to be famous in the Tang Dynasty at a young age, and he was able to accomplish a series of big events. It was absolutely extraordinary, and he could also cultivate a large group of An outstanding military general, seeing Cheng Huaimo and others following him, Feng An's determination to send his son to study became more determined.

After experiencing the Dongting Lake incident this time, Li Jing disagreed with his life and death that Li Yuan would go on the road like this again. In the end, the two parties reached a consensus. When they went south again, Li Yuan and others took Cheng Huaimo's [-] elite as guards.

In the Shaozhou mansion, Feng An personally accompanied Li Yuan, Li Yuanba, Bai Fan and others, while the group of boys, Li Chengqian, Cheng Huaimo and others were accompanied by the three sons of the Feng family. I thought that these young people would have something to say together Who knew that before the banquet was half over, a group of boys started to do it.

"Brother Huaimo, you're blowing too much, right? You're blowing up your master like there's nothing in the world? How can you be the best in the world at a young age, and what kind of wisdom is unparalleled in the world? We saw it just now. , How old is he? How capable is he? When it comes to intelligence, my second brother is the most powerful! He can never forget!" Feng Zhiyu retorted to Cheng Huaimo.

Yuchi Baolin shouted loudly: "Who dares to speak ill of my master? Stand up!"

Feng Zhixun stopped him and said: "My brother's words are meaningless. Don't blame the brothers, but I don't believe it. Lord Hou Bai of Lantian is so young, how could he do so many things? Brother Baolin seems to be an honest person, can you tell me the real reason?" ?”

Cheng Huaimo shouted: "So I, Cheng Huaimo, am not an honest person, but a villain?
Well, I didn't expect Little Lingnan to hide dragons and crouching tigers?Since you don't believe me, and dare to say that someone can surpass my master, why don't we have a competition, and our disciples will replace the master to fight, and see what kind of ability you have to make no one here? "
