Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 665
The 880 years of the Universal Calendar is destined to be an eventful one.

Whether it's for the emperor's court, the reckless rivers and lakes, or even the most ordinary common people, this year is definitely not a peaceful year.

Feng Cang, who quickly dominated the world like a dragon, destroyed four of the Kyushu continents in less than a year, but merged the original territory of the five countries—because it was first acquired by the North. Jinteng, which was divided between Yan and Chitang, was once an independent country.

Feng Cang, who was originally not favored by others, quickly became the overlord of the world, while Bei Yan, who was originally recognized as a powerful country, declined so quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Feng Cang has become a powerful country with the most domineering posture. He was provoked and offended before, and he raised troops to fight back. Although the war was cruel and ruthless, the swift and decisive attitude of the battle still minimized the damage caused by the war.

Therefore, for many outsiders, the rise and fall of a country is nothing more than a life-and-death game between kings. It's just a game of chasing the deer.

It's just that for many people, even if it has nothing to do with them, they still pay attention to it intentionally or unintentionally. Perhaps, if you don't pay attention to some things, the news will automatically reach your ears.

In mid-October, the Zhanwang squad returned to the court.

After suppressing Qinglan and Donghua, regaining the troops of Chitang and Beiyan, Fengcang's territory expanded several times rapidly.

Feng Qi issued a decree to merge Beiyan into the territory of Fengcang and renamed it Beidi. After Qinglan, Donghua, and Chitang, the Beiyan Dynasty became the fourth defeated country on the Canghuan Continent to disappear in the torrent of history.

The once-obscure King of War took the lead. In less than a year, no one in the world knew Feng Cang's name as King of War.

And under his command, several generals stood out in the Four Kingdoms War and were promoted one after another, becoming the confidants closest to the center of military power.

Returning to Fengcang is a reward from the emperor.

On the expedition, life hangs on the sword, and the four countries have been conquered, and the casualties of their own troops have never exceeded 4000—the exact number of casualties is more than [-], and the wounded are over [-].

Regardless of whether it is a coach or an ordinary soldier, this number is so low that it is almost negligible.However, even if the loss is less than [-], for the family members of the war dead, it is still an unavoidable pain for the wife to lose her husband, the elderly to lose her son, and the child to lose her father.

The king ordered to allocate a million taels of silver from the treasury, and the king of war was solely responsible for the compensation for the families of the casualties.

For the soldiers of the whole army, this is undoubtedly an exciting event. They have seen the generosity of the king and the love and importance the king has for his people and soldiers.

But even more moving than that, there was one more thing that almost caused the entire army to boil in the month after the King of War's class returned to the court.

Military power has always been a sensitive matter for the Son of Heaven. Since the end of last year, the King of War was ordered to go to Qinglan, and the 20 soldiers and horses in his hands have continued to grow. , there are a full 40 elite soldiers - these do not include the confidant generals who were left to guard in the four countries, and the scattered soldiers and horses integrated into various places.

With brilliant military exploits, military power in his hands, and the King of War is the emperor's brother, who has the blood of the Feng family. In the eyes of everyone, the emperor cannot be jealous—even if he has made great contributions.

Brilliant military achievements have always been a double-edged sword.

But to everyone's surprise, in the court hall, after Zhan Wang took the initiative to hand in the military talisman in front of the civil and military officials of the court, Feng Qi just glanced at the eye-catching black iron tiger talisman, and said indifferently: "The war has come to an end for the time being. You need to settle down with 40 soldiers and horses. Don't slacken your military training. There are already 40 soldiers and horses in the east and west barracks outside the south of the city. The front, left, and right ministers are in charge. Your soldiers and horses can be placed in the barracks in the northern suburbs." .”

Hearing the words, the King of War only bowed his head in response to "Minister Zunzhi", and stopped talking, and still knelt on the hall holding the tiger talisman.

Feng Qi frowned, "Second Brother, can't you understand what I'm saying?"

"..." Zhan Wang was slightly stunned, then raised his head and looked at the emperor on the dragon chair in puzzlement, "I understand, but this tiger talisman..."

What he meant was that military training is military training, and taking back military power is taking back military power, and there is no conflict.

Feng Qi said indifferently: "A general who trains troops, if you don't have a tiger talisman, why do you let 40 generals obey your orders?"

In fact, what he meant was very clear. He didn't mean to take back the military power. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also heard the emperor's meaning from these words, but His Royal Highness Zhan Wang who was in it didn't know it was Intentionally or unintentionally——

"The 40 army has no second thoughts towards the ministers, so even if there is no tiger talisman, the ministers can still make them obedient."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.

In an instant, almost everyone's eyes fell on the back of the young man kneeling in front of the hall. While feeling a little horrified, they didn't know whether to lament Zhan Wang's uprightness, or to be shocked by his boldness, or even this obvious A presumptuous statement of sovereignty.

The timid official turned pale with shock.

This is to tell the emperor directly in front of all civil and military officials, that with or without tiger charms, I can mobilize 40 troops, and they only listen to my orders?
This boldness and stupidity is simply unprecedented.

After hearing this, Feng Qi sneered again and again, and only said, "Brother Erhuang seems to have gained a lot of knowledge by going out to fight this time, so follow me to the Imperial Study Room to chat for a while."

After all, he announced his withdrawal from the court.

Of course the ministers would not know that the King of Zhan had just arrived at the imperial study, and before he even stepped into the door, he was ordered by Feng Qi to hit him with twenty court sticks in court.

Just like Feng Tianzhan's silent and docile attitude when he was summoned to the Golden Palace by Feng Qi for the first time when he was beaten for no reason, he was still silent and docile when he was punished again this time.Until the end of the twenty sticks, he never asked why, not even a puzzled expression.

But Feng Qi gave him a reason this time, "Second Brother is very capable of leading troops to fight, but the way of being a general and an official is not as simple as leading troops to fight. For other kings, how long does Second Brother think he can live?"

A careless word will invite disaster without reason.Feng Qi is teaching him to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Anyone who knows Zhan Wang's temperament knows that he is only stating the facts and not deliberately showing off, but that sentence alone is enough to make people grasp the handle and then put him to death.
