[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

That night, Xiao Feng failed to leave the palace but was forcibly dragged by the crown prince to the East Palace for a drink.One of these two people is the crown prince and the other is the king of Chu. Although the banquet that can be placed in front of them in the East Palace is not as luxurious as what Xiao Feng once enjoyed in the Murong Mansion, it is still very rich.However, both of them are full of preoccupations, even the dragon liver and phoenix marrow can't taste the taste.

I saw these two people sitting opposite each other, drank two cups of strong wine sullenly, Xiao Feng suddenly said in a deep voice: "Xiao Feng is upright and ignorant of etiquette, he reluctantly stays in the court, sooner or later he will offend His Majesty, embarrassment and the Crown Prince!"

Yelu Jun's gentle nature is very different from his father Yelu Hongji, hearing Xiao Feng's sigh at this time, he couldn't help persuading him: "Since my uncle knew about my father's temperament, why did I always have conflicts with him? He is Your Majesty, you are Courtier, how can there be any reason in this world for His Majesty to follow a courtier?"

Xiao Feng endured and endured, but finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty favors and trusts Yelu Yixin, and the crown prince also persuaded him several times. Even if you speak nice words, has Your Majesty ever heard of them?"

When Xiao Feng said these words, Yelu Jun was also speechless.Yelu Hongji is going to be late now, people say that people will be confused when they are old, but he has shown the characteristics of a foolish king since he was young.Yelujun is a fledgling prince, if he persuades him too much, he will only be feared and rejected by his father.But if he doesn't persuade him, is he going to watch Yelu Hongji harm Daliao for decades, and finally pass the mess on to himself?Thinking of his own worries, Yelu Jun was also very depressed, he smiled wryly and poured himself two cups of mulled wine, then changed his subject and said, "Uncle, is that Murong Fu really so good?"

Xiao Feng didn't want to mention Murong Fu at first, but right now it's related to state affairs, he can't care about that much anymore. "He was Tanhua in the eighth year of Yuanfeng. He is less than thirty now, but he has already mastered the Shu Party, and he is unambiguous in the court of the Song Dynasty. His opponents over the years, Sima Wengong, Lu Sikong, Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi, Zhang Dun, which one is not a good man for a while, and what is the result?"

Seeing Xiao Feng's admiration for Murong Fu, Yelu Jun couldn't help shaking his head and sighing with a smile: "Uncle never has a good word to say about this person. Gu Yuan thought he was a heinous and wicked person, but unexpectedly this person is different in Uncle's heart. There is heaven and earth."

"Slandering and insulting are useless, only by facing your enemy squarely can you have a chance of defeating him." Xiao Feng said seriously.

Xiao Feng's words were clear, Prince Yelu Jun immediately stood up and bowed, solemnly said: "Thank you for your teaching, Uncle."

Xiao Feng hastily stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a smile: "Why do we need so much courtesy between you and me?" After a pause, he sighed again. "What's more, I didn't say that."

Yelu Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled, wondering: "Murong Fu again?... Such a talent can't be used by me, Daliao, what a pity! What a pity!"

Yelujun is nothing this year, but such a prince is obviously much more wise and magnanimous than the official in the Song court.Xiao Feng once thought that if the official in the Song Dynasty had the temperament of Yelu Jun, he would be able to get along with Murong Fu and create a prosperous world.However, as long as he thinks about the great cause of Murong's revival, this thought will become a dream again and dissipate in an instant.Xiao Feng just sighed slightly, and said softly: "Since this person led the first battle in Pingxia, I, Daliao, must not rashly send troops."

Back to the topic, Yelujun's heart is also heavy. "Even if you don't look at his former opponents, just look at the flintlock gun and the cannon, they are magical weapons from heaven. However, what the emperor said is not unreasonable, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!"

When Xiao Feng talked about state affairs with Murong Fu back then, he never thought that one day he would rack his brains to break the situation for Daliao.He pondered for a while, before he said with difficulty: "Murong has spent several years developing flintlock guns and cannons. In this round, Daliao has already lost the upper hand....For the current plan, the only thing we can do is to have a correct attitude and reconcile with Dasongyan."

When Xiao Feng said that, Yelu Jun was not happy anymore, he just frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "In the future, the emperor of the Song Dynasty will be the main one, and the leader of the Song Dynasty will be the leader?"

"Why do the two countries have to compete? Even if they can't achieve good-neighborliness and friendship, isn't it okay if the well water doesn't violate the river water?" Xiao Feng said softly.

But Yelujun shook his head and said, "The feud between Han and Liao, even if Daliao is willing, will Song Guo agree?"

"Our Daliao has a vast territory, as long as the government is clear and the people are happy, even if the Song Dynasty wants to invade our territory with the advantage of firearms, it may not be able to do so." Xiao Feng said again.

"In this way, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed." Yelujun said unwillingly.

"Who in this world can always gain the upper hand and be invincible? People are like this, so is a country!" Xiao Feng sighed.

"When King Xiao said this, not to mention His Majesty, even this Palace would suspect that you still care about Song Dynasty!" This time, before Yelv Jun could reply, a soft and clear female voice came in.

Yelujun and Xiao Feng followed the prestige at the same time, only to see a beautiful lady in palace attire walk in surrounded by several palace servants.The visitor's appearance is elegant, elegant, delicate and charming. Although he is in his early thirties, his elegant and graceful demeanor is very heart-wrenching.

Seeing this person, Yelu Jun and Xiao Feng stood up at the same time and saluted:

"My son has seen his mother!"

"Sir Xiao Feng, I have met the Empress!"

It turned out that this person was Yelu Hongji's wife, Xiao Feng's cousin, Xiao Guanyin, Empress of Daliao.

"Excuse me." Xiao Guanyin nodded slightly, stepped forward to pick up the jug and sniffed it, and said angrily. "This burning knife is so strong, drinking too much hurts your body, why don't you always listen? Come, someone, go and exchange two jugs of light wine!" After finishing speaking, she sat down in the banquet.

Seeing this, Yelujun hurriedly asked tentatively, "Mother, are you..."

Xiao Guanyin sighed softly, and said sadly: "Your father has gone to Concubine Mu Gui, so why not mother visit her son and younger brother later?"

What Xiao Guanyin said, Yelujun and Xiao Feng had nothing to say, they hurriedly sat down with them.

The three of them drank two more glasses of sweet fruit wine, Xiao Guanyin sighed and said, "Brother Feng, I already know about your dispute with His Majesty today."

Xiao Feng's face became hot when he heard the words, he just lowered his head and said: "After all, it is Xiao Feng who made the empress and the crown prince implicated."

Xiao Guanyin shook her head, and said dejectedly: "Mu Guifei is heroic, and she can accompany His Majesty on hunting trips, so His Majesty is close to her. It's none of your business. It's just... brother Feng, tell me the truth, do you really want to resign from office?" ?”

Xiao Feng was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Madam, the temperament of this humble official is really incompatible with this court!"

Xiao Guanyin looked around, suddenly waved his hand to make all the maids and servants in the palace retreat, poured another glass of wine for Xiao Feng, and then said slowly: "Brother Feng, there are only three of us in this palace now, we only talk about family affection, Regardless of monarchs and ministers, do you know how powerful our Xiao family is in the court today?"

Xiao Feng is not an idiot, he has been the king of the South Court for nearly a year, so he has already figured out the power of Xiao Guanyin's clan. "Since my uncle passed away, our team has no more talented people. Now the empress and His Royal Highness can only rely on His Majesty's favor. Once His Majesty's favor is no longer..." Throughout the ages, this has been abolished. Can the queen and prince be less?

Xiao Guanyin nodded slightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Although the Xiao family is a descendant, the Xiao family has a thriving lineage, but this queen may not necessarily come from my family. There are no outstanding talents among my uncles and brothers. Only just learning to ask about politics is really lonely. Looking at the entire court, you are the only one we can rely on, Brother Feng!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng smiled wryly. "Your Majesty favored the emperor's uncle before, and now he favors Yelu Yixin, not because of their talents, but because their surname is Yelu! Although our branch is weak and lonely, the one named Xiao is a talented person in the court." Even His Majesty has to be afraid of Jiji. Cousin, don't say that my younger brother is unwilling to fight, even if he is willing to fight, His Majesty will be suspicious in every possible way."

When Xiao Feng said that, Xiao Guanyin was taken aback.She originally thought that Xiao Feng was just acting recklessly and only relying on his own temperament, but she didn't expect that he had already seen clearly the treacherous clouds in the court.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but eagerly said: "Brother Feng, since you understand everything, you should know that as long as you, the king of the South Courtyard, are still standing firmly, your sister and your nephew will be as stable as Mount Tai! Why do you insist on confronting His Majesty? "

"Would it be possible to watch His Majesty make mistakes and not give advice?" Xiao Feng said coldly, "So, what's the difference between me, the King of the Southern Courtyard, and a puppet?"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess!" Xiao Guanyin said every word.

Xiao Feng still shook his head. "Your Majesty's reckless use of war will surely cause death. If this is a trivial matter, then what is a major event?"

Xiao Feng was so heartless, Xiao Guanyin immediately burst into tears. "It turns out that the lives of my mother and son are not as good as a few ordinary people in Brother Feng's heart!"

Xiao Feng didn't answer.If this was among thousands of troops, Xiao Feng would definitely save Xiao Guanyin's mother and son before saving others, even if he gave up his life to save them, he would not frown.But in order to prevent Xiao Guanyin's mother and son's status from being lost, he would absolutely not be able to watch Yelu Hongji lightly start the war and tear up his family and his wife.Xiao Feng knew that Xiao Guanyin would not understand the difference, even if he understood, he would not agree with it.Therefore, he could only not answer.If Murong was here, he would definitely understand, right?For some reason, Xiao Feng thought of Murong Fu again, and suddenly felt extremely lonely. "Your Majesty, this minister's temperament is indeed only suitable for rolling around in the Jianghu."

This time, even Xiao Guanyin had no choice but to nod sadly. "You are only willing to let others listen to you, but you don't want to listen to others yourself. How can you be an official with this kind of temper?... But, you offended His Majesty, how can it be settled so easily?"

Just as Xiao Guanyin finished speaking, Xiao Feng suddenly felt dizzy. "This wine..." He suddenly supported his forehead, struggling to stand up.However, with a slight movement of the body, the whole person fell on his back from the seat.

"Mother, this..." Yelujun didn't expect the situation to turn so suddenly, he hurriedly stood up and wanted to help Xiao Feng.

Xiao Guanyin was afraid of Xiao Feng's martial arts, and hastily stretched out his hand to tear his son away.Seeing her condescendingly looking down at Xiao Feng, she said slowly: "Brother Feng, you and I are siblings, I will never harm you. But I will never let you implicate the whole family by your arbitrary actions!"

Xiao Feng only felt dizzy, but he also knew that life and death were on the line, so he hastily used his kung fu to suppress the poison and refused to lose consciousness.Hearing that Xiao Guanyin swore "I won't harm you" right now, he was filled with shock and anger, and immediately asked, "Why?"

"Why?" Xiao Guanyin smiled softly and asked in a low voice. "Brother Feng, sometimes I think you are just reckless, but you are too shrewd; but sometimes I think you should understand such a simple truth, but you are always confused! My aunt mourns the empress and Ben. After two generations of the palace, you have never seen the prosperity of the Xiao family. Although the power is not as good as before, the foundation is still there. If you don't have these foundations, you, a reckless man who just returned from the Song Dynasty, would be able to survive with mere rescue. Do you want to make the King of the Southern Court so reliable? Those important officials in the court, do they represent only yourself? Are they not as shrewd and honest as you? They don't quarrel with His Majesty, they don't mention resignation Do it because they understand that what they represent is the entangled forces behind them, and they are countless old blood relatives with them! I want you to get close to your tribe, but you refuse; I advise you not to marry a Han woman who has no roots. You still refuse; you can't even do the most basic thing of not offending His Majesty and implicating the whole clan! Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, have you ever thought about what your clansmen should do if you offended His Majesty and left? The whole clan What should you do with all the hard work, power, and contacts that have been spent on you? Now that things have happened, do you think you are still as reckless as before? Do you think that the Daliao court is your gang of beggars, allowing you to come and go as you please? Stupid!"

Xiao Guanyin's words really shocked Xiao Feng, countless thoughts suddenly flooded his mind.One of the thoughts was extremely weird, but when he was about to capture it, that thought dissipated like light smoke without leaving a trace.Xiao Guanyin could only hear Xiao Guanyin saying again: "I know you resent me in your heart and poison you regardless of the relationship between siblings. But you know, if I don't try to keep you, His Majesty will never tolerate anyone who dares to face you in front of him. A senior official who throws his crown and takes off his robe will definitely kill you! Even if you are armed with martial arts, you are not afraid of His Majesty, don't you care about the safety of your father and A Zhu? Brother Feng, you have been in the Central Plains for [-] years, and you have been contaminated with too many bad things. Fault, it's time to make amends! I have told Your Majesty that you deeply regret your mistakes, and you want to stay in the East Palace to learn how to be a minister from the prince. What is in this wine is just some weak tendons, which will affect your luck. Gong does not hurt your life. You can live in the East Palace with peace of mind, when you are willing to bow your head to His Majesty, I will give you the antidote."

Yelujun watched Xiao Guanyin go away in a flick of his sleeves, turned his head and ran back to help Xiao Feng up, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle! Uncle, how are you?"

Xiao Feng shook his head in discouragement, and said in a low voice: "No problem!" Xiao Guanyin did not lie to him, now Xiao Feng is really not feeling any discomfort except his hands and feet are sore and he can't use his strength to adjust his internal breath.

Only then did Yelu Jun heave a sigh of relief, and replied: "Get up and talk!" He is really a kind-hearted and honest gentleman, he said embarrassingly while helping Xiao Feng up. "Uncle, I don't know my mother..."

Xiao Feng and Yelu Jun have always had a good friendship, and he also knew that Yelu Jun was completely unaware of Xiao Guanyin's move, so he leaned on the other's arm and laughed at himself: "I am proud of my martial arts, but even a weak woman like the empress is no match for me! "Before he finished speaking, his heart was shocked again, and a strange feeling floated up again.

Yelujun and Xiao Guanyin are deeply in love with each other, he was afraid that there would be a rift between Xiao Feng and his mother, so he hurriedly defended his mother: "My mother has always attached great importance to her uncle, if she hadn't been forced to do so..."

Since Xiao Guanyin met Xiao Feng, she has always attached importance to getting close to him.Xiao Feng would never doubt this point before today, but after today he is no longer sure.He was stunned for a while, then looked at Yelujun and murmured: "Just now, what is the reason why the empress said that the Xiao family spent all their effort, power, and connections on me?"

Yelujun couldn't help but looked at Xiao Feng in amazement when he heard that.He used to think that Xiao Feng was pretending not to know, but now looking at his black and white eyes, he really didn't know.Realizing this, Yelujun couldn't help but sighed softly, and said slowly: "Uncle, it seems that you will be staying in my East Palace for a long time. There are too many things to do tonight, so you might as well rest early. From tomorrow on, let Gu find time to be with you Discuss." From Yelujun's point of view, his uncle can see the big picture but not the small details, can see the changes of current events but can't discern the conspiracy of people's hearts.Such a wonderful talent, I really don't know which master trained him!

Queen: Stupid!
