Chapter 1169 Finale (17)

Long Yi was startled. He didn't expect Yan Funing to be so direct: "You kid."

He said perfunctorily with a smile and raised his hand to invite Yan De and Yan Cheng, father and son.

Yan De nodded with a smile, and quietly patted the back of his granddaughter's hand, signaling her not to mention it again.

This emperor was extremely petty and held a grudge.

The only thing I’m afraid of is that he’ll hold a grudge and come to settle accounts with the Yan family after they go to the battlefield.

However, now that the country is in crisis, we should focus on the overall situation and not worry about other things.

At this moment, if possible, we should not mention the past.

Of course, it would be best to write it off at once.

The group entered the imperial study.

Long Yi walked to the imperial desk and asked as soon as he sat down, "What does the old Duke want to tell me?"

Yan De bowed and said, "Your Majesty, at present, the problem of generals has been temporarily solved, and the lack of troops is the biggest difficulty."

Long Yi nodded and sighed, "Who said it wasn't true? I have already ordered the recruitment of soldiers and horses."

Yan De said: "My Yan family has lost its military power a long time ago, but we have never stopped protecting our country and its people. Regarding the issue of military strength, my Yan family has a solution. Before I tell you the solution, I hope the emperor will forgive the descendants of the Yan family. If the emperor wants to blame someone in the future, he can punish me alone. After all, I was the one who decided to do this."

After hearing this, Yan Funing knew that her grandfather was going to talk about the Yan family secretly raising soldiers and horses.

Judging from the current situation, this is the only way to resist the invasion of so many foreign enemies.

Secondly, speed is of the essence in war. Now that the border is in chaos, we can no longer afford to be slow, let alone wait to recruit soldiers before going into battle.

But she didn't dare to think about the consequences once the emperor and the royal family knew about the Yan family's troops.

My palms were slightly sweaty.

Long Yi said calmly: "Just what you say, I will do as you say."

Yan De took a deep breath.

He is old, it would be a lie to say he is not nervous at the moment.

I am not worried about my own life and death, but about my descendants.

But if the Yan family does not take action, the people of Dajing will be in dire straits.

Thinking of this, he said, "The Yan family's military power was taken back a few years ago. Where these military powers are now assigned, Your Majesty knows better than me, after all, I haven't asked about military affairs for many years. However, there are still many veterans who have been with the Yan family. Their descendants usually regard themselves as soldiers of Dajing, and they train hard and never slack off. If they can go to the battlefield, I dare not say that one can fight ten, but one person can deal with three or five people. It is more than enough."

When Long Yi heard this, his expression froze.

He adjusted his sitting position on the dragon chair and lowered his voice: "Since the founding of Dajing, the Yan family has held military power. If from that time on, all the retired veterans were still privately loyal to the Yan family, how huge would the number be by now?"

It’s not that he doesn’t dare to raise his voice.

It’s not that he doesn’t dare to yell at the Yan family at this moment.

You have to know that he asked this question at this moment, firstly to guess how many soldiers the Yan family has, and secondly...

Never mind, he just got scared.

They didn't dare to make a sound or roar. If the Yan family had such strength, they would be able to make Dajing's Jiangshan the Yan family in an instant.

Master Yan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not that exaggerated."

Third Master Yan echoed: "How can there be such a number? Far from it, Your Majesty."

Compared to the two gentlemen who were starting to get nervous, Yan Cheng was quite calm, since what his father was talking about was a matter of losing his head.

Long Yi looked at Yan Cheng, then moved his gaze back to Yan De: "You guys did a great job of hiding this from me."

It would be false to say you are not angry.

Which emperor is not afraid of his throne being coveted?
Even if the other party does not have this intention, the emperor will feel uneasy as long as the other party's strength is higher than that of the royal family.

However, he quickly calmed down.

If the Yan family really had the intention of treason, the throne should have been given to the Yan family when the emperor's brother was still on the throne. How could the emperor's brother pass the throne to him? If it had been said earlier, the emperor's brother might not have become the emperor.

Yan Cheng said, "Your Majesty, those people only have a relationship with my Yan family, and my Yan family has ordered them to farm peacefully and not cause trouble."

Long Yi laughed softly: "So, can't I punish you for raising soldiers privately?"

Yan Cheng said calmly: "Your Majesty, you must not say that. They are just like servants of my Yan family."

"House servants? There are enough of them to solve Dajing's current predicament." Long Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

"My Yan family has never concealed anything. Your Majesty can ask Prince Rui about this matter." Yan Cheng raised his hand and pointed at Fu Ciyi.

Long Yi narrowed his eyes: "Wen Yu?"

Fu Ciyi bowed and said, "The Yan family has indeed never concealed anything. Father, I can testify to this. Moreover, those people are all farmers, how can they be considered soldiers?"

"Can farmers go to war?"

"A farmer who knows how to fight." Fu Ciyi said again.

"A farmer who knows how to fight and fight, and can fight five farmers at once?"

Long Yi frowned and his gaze fell on Yan De again.

You just treat him as a kid, right?

"If Your Majesty wants to punish me, please punish this old minister. Now that other countries are invading, I hope Your Majesty will put the country and the people first." Yan De bowed deeply.

What exactly does this little emperor want?

He began to get impatient. He had not agreed to this kid becoming the crown prince in the first place, but now it seemed that he was right.

Suddenly, Long Yi laughed out loud: "The Yan family is worthy of being the pillar of Dajing, great!"

Everyone in the Yan family looked at each other.

Long Yi stood up, walked from behind the imperial desk to Yan De, and personally helped him up: "I have to thank the old Duke for his foresight!"

Yan De: “…”

"Fu Ning asked me if the grudges between the Yan family and me could be written off. Of course, they were written off!" Long Yi said with a smile, "My brother took back the military power from the Yan family, and I will return it to the Yan family today."

Fortunately, his elder brother took back the military power, and now he can be a good person and return it.

To be honest, the loyalty of the Yan family is truly evident to all.

You know, if it were any other family, how could they stand up like this?

As an emperor, he should be happy to have such a loyal subject.

Even this kid Wen Yu knew it a long time ago, but he didn't tell his father about it. It's really hateful.

Everyone in the Yan family bowed their hands together: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Old Duke Yan De is appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Army of the Nation, in charge of all military affairs of Dajing." Long Yi said, and ordered someone to move a chair.

There were many people in the Yan family, and it took several eunuchs to move everything.

"Everyone sit down and talk."

Long Yi personally took out the territory map and discussed strategy with the Yan family.

While they were arguing fiercely about what military strategies to use, Yan Funing listened quietly without interrupting.

Feeling that they had almost finished discussing it, she said softly, "I want to go to the border, too."

Almost everyone asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't mess around, little girl." The old Duke frowned. "Grandfather never said that war is no joke, because Grandfather knows you understand. But what can a delicate girl like you do on the battlefield?"

Yan Funing said: "I can help the soldiers heal their wounds. Although I can't do other things, I can do this."

Fu Ciyi said in a deep voice: "Ningning."

With a silent look, he opposed her idea of ​​going with him.
