Hey!How dare you take me as a substitute

This year is a warm winter.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the old general Feng returned to the dynasty.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager An was not so dizzy that she took Old General Feng down with her. She just casually mentioned in one morning that she wanted Old General Feng to bring some disciples from the aristocratic palace with him when he went to guard the border next time. On, the euphemistic name is: See the world.

Haha, let those well-known dudes from aristocratic families go to the army to "see the world"?

Sitting on a golden dragon chair watching a play... Oh no, it was Heng Mingshi who was in charge of politics, and almost burst out laughing at the pear cake that was secretly stuffed into his mouth.

The Empress Dowager An has more and more tricks. When the New Year's Day is over, next year's play will definitely be more fun.

While thinking about it, Heng Mingshi stretched his hands into his sleeves to dig out, and found sadly that he had eaten up all the snacks for today.

Helpless, Heng Mingshi had no choice but to wink at Minister Gao who was not far away: Do you still have fried peanuts?

Eunuch Gao shook his head secretly. Early this morning, Concubine Xiang sent two large boxes of flower cakes, and Heng Mingshi put them all in his pockets. He thought it was enough for Heng Mingshi to pass the time, but Unexpectedly, today's court meeting is so long, and Heng Mingshi's appetite seems to have increased a lot.

The Holy Majesty has also reached the age of getting taller and taller. It seems that he should prepare more food in the future.

Eunuch Gao thought to himself.

With no snacks to pass the time, Heng Mingshi could only cast his gaze among the courtiers of His Highness, and finally landed on the face of Old General Feng.

Well, it seems that Feng Qi's figure and appearance are inherited from Old General Feng. Even though there are wrinkles on his face and his beard is black and white, the old general's body skeleton is standing there, standing next to the civil servants, stunned. Being able to stand a few heads high made the other courtiers extremely petite.

At this time, the old general is trying to describe the hard work of defending the border, hoping that the queen mother will take back her order, and don't let those delicate dudes who were raised in wine pools and meat forests go to the army to suffer (disturb) and suffer (disturb).

However, Empress Dowager An seemed to have made up her mind that she would send those children from the royal family to the army to "see the world", regardless of what the old general said.

The old general was so angry that his beard twitched, but he couldn't directly yell at Queen Mother An and said, "Get out! I don't want to bring a bunch of burdens!"

Heng Mingshi could probably guess what Empress Dowager An meant by this, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the old general for a few seconds.

The old general said that no matter how many dangers there are on the border, it is useless. After all, what Empress Dowager An wants is danger. Those princes and nobles have so many heirs, and they send a few unfavored sons to the army at will. "To fight for glory" is actually treating them as abandoned sons, squeezing out the last light and heat, and then "returning the shroud of horse leather to the hometown", the family will be honored and honored, and they can also get rewards and official positions that the dead can no longer get.

By the way, I will go to the court to read a book again, scolding the old general for improperly leading the army, causing their family members to die on the battlefield.

As far as Empress Dowager Yu An is concerned, as long as the books of these old generals are sent to her, she can pretend to count the achievements of the old generals over the years, appease those "heartbroken" princes and nobles, and then "sorrow" "Regret" said that the general is old, and the decision-making of the army is no longer possible. Why don't you go back to the imperial capital first and take care of your life!

In this way, it became logical to take back the military power of the old general Feng, and then replace the manpower chosen by the Empress Dowager Shang'an herself.

Empress Dowager An thought long-term, and probably had a discussion with the princes and nobles early on, so she proposed to the old general "send a few sons of princes and nobles to practice in the army" after the old general returned to the court.

Heng Mingshi could hear Empress Dowager An's deliberation at once, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, even the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

Most of the veterans of His Royal Highness are dazzled. Heng Mingshi sits so high and part of the desk is blocked. Generally speaking, he can't see these micro expressions of Heng Mingshi. However, Heng Mingshi forgot that although Old General Feng Already old, but with excellent eyesight, he happened to look over at this moment, and saw Heng Mingshi's mocking smile that passed by for a moment.

Old General Feng: "..."

Heng Mingshi: "..."

It's a little embarrassing.

Heng Mingshi tried his best to cover up his clues at that moment with a more silly smile.

He really wanted to win over the Feng family to his side, but he was not so blatant enough to flirt with old General Feng under the eyes of Queen Mother An... Well, this adjective may be a bit wrong, but it still means that.

Although Empress Dowager An's tone was very gentle, her attitude was very tough. Old General Feng couldn't help but accept it reluctantly, but the expression on his face was very ugly. Even if he retreated, no one dared to go up and talk to him, for fear Touched the mold.

However, even if it is not very pleasant in the court, the palace banquet is still to be held. The old general will return to the court. In order to show the importance of the royal family, the palace will naturally set up a big banquet to clean up the dust for him.

Or to put it another way-use wine to get rid of the bloody spirit of the soldiers.

The court kills power, and the banquet goes to evil.

It's all routines.

As a mascot who must be present on every important occasion, Heng Mingshi naturally wore a bright golden little dragon robe. This is Heng Mingshi's favorite little golden dragon robe - the one he likes the most has been taken by someone torn.

Because he was worried that the sleeves would be stained with food, Heng Mingshi directly pinned the wide sleeves to the shoulders, and tied the excess with a knot on the back.

This is an exclusive posture for cooking, which is very convenient, but also very indecent, so all the civil servants sitting under His Highness showed horrible expressions.

The generals didn't think that Heng Mingshi tied his sleeves like this was hurtful, after all, they usually did the same in the army or at home, they just kept their image at palace banquets.

Seeing Heng Mingshi doing this, many generals still felt that the stupid emperor was very down-to-earth, at least he looked much more pleasing to the eye than those sleazy and sour scholars.

In other words, since the last time Heng Mingshi said innocently: "Who is General Li? Isn't the one who guards the southern border the Feng Shou General?", the generals have a little more affection for this foolish emperor. .

Fools are better than these pedantic and cowardly sour Confucians!

However, it's just a little bit of goodwill.

No one wants to be supported by a fool emperor, it will become a big joke.

Therefore, the trace of goodwill was quickly wiped out after Heng Mingshi picked up the deliciously roasted pork knuckle, ate it with relish, clicked his tongue, and had no image at all.

However, in the past, Heng Mingshi ate by himself. He just watched the ministers below playing tricks, and generally would not disturb them. Bring up a bucket of rice, and give him two more pork knuckles.

Seeing that the usually silly little emperor suddenly had trouble with Feng Qi, the banquet was so quiet that a needle could be heard for an instant, and everyone's eyes lingered on Feng Qi and Heng Mingshi, with different expressions on their faces.

Some people gloated, some looked worried, some looked puzzled, and some seemed to have checked...

In short, when Heng Mingshi loudly ordered someone to fill Feng Qi with another bucket of rice and add two more pork knuckles, no one in the banquet hall, except Feng Qi himself and those who knew Feng Qi, felt Heng Mingshi was concerned about whether Feng Qi was getting enough to eat, but he thought that Heng Mingshi was implying that Feng Qi was an idiot.

This is ridiculous, a fool, implying that a meritorious military general is an idiot.

Is this the little emperor's intentions, or is someone behind his back pointing the little emperor to say these words at this time?

The image of Heng Mingshi's fool seems to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so when he suddenly showed this side, the first reaction of the courtiers was to think of Queen Mother An.

This time the palace banquet, Empress Dowager An still used the excuse of physical discomfort and did not come, as if she was cryptically expressing that "Aijia's health is getting worse, the night wind after the dinner is too cold, and the bones of the body can't stand it, you should start thinking about it." stand in line."

It was precisely because of her absence that Heng Mingshi's "targeting" Feng Qi's words had more or less a "warning" flavor.

Everyone inevitably thinks that these words may have been taught by the Empress Dowager An to the foolish emperor.

In addition, Empress Dowager An happened to find Old General Feng unhappy in the early court, and now Heng Mingshi hinted that Old General Feng's second son was a worthless person, which really had to make people think too much.

Of course, those who have such thoughts are people who don't know Feng Qi well, but Old General Feng and those who have fought with Feng Qi know that Feng Qi eats a lot, and it's completely useless to finish a bucket of rice in one meal. The problem is, this appetite completely takes over from General Feng, and what he eats grows to where it should be, so that General Feng and Feng Qi only need to punch a random place, and they are two walls.

The palace man quickly brought up a bucket of rice, and added two big pork knuckles, and placed a few dishes of side dishes on the table in front of Feng Qi.

Old General Feng looked at his son's table full of food, then glanced at the small bowl on his own table, and the food in the small bowl that looked pitifully scarce in front of him even though it was full, and fell into deep thought.

Since his class teacher returned to the court, he heard people mention more than once that the second child in the family was arranged by the Empress Dowager An to serve as an errand next to the foolish emperor. The laughing stock of many dignitaries in the city after dinner.

Old General Feng knew that the Feng family had held military power for several generations, and it would be a matter of time before the royal family feared it. Therefore, Feng Qi's military power was taken away, and Old General Feng didn't say much. Even if Feng Qi was sent to serve as a bodyguard for the foolish emperor, Old General Feng didn't have any complaints.

On the contrary, Old General Feng still felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, at least on his second son's side, he could have less covetous eyes.

The little emperor is a fool, so if he follows a fool, he won't have any future.

From others' point of view, this thought might be Feng Qi's loss and the Feng family being suppressed, but from Old General Feng's point of view, it was just right.
