Chapter 198: The Earth Emperor from Lingnan

Qingsun Palace

This year's Shangyuan Festival is different from the past. Since defeating Jie Li, the tribes in the northern grassland of Mobei have written letters to respect the emperor as the Khan of Heaven. The surrounding countries have also had different purposes to communicate with the Tang Dynasty when they see the rise of the Tang Dynasty. This is why so many countries gather in Chang'an today.

For this reason, the emperor not only ordered the Honglu Temple to take care of it, but even chose a front position to settle them in the night banquet area tonight. These envoys included Shi Wei, Khitan, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Xi tribes, Western Turks, and Nanzhao tribes.

These foreign envoys were eating a table full of delicacies while watching the Qin King breaking the formation music, and from time to time sighing from different languages ​​from the banquet area. Of course, what attracted Li Chengqian's attention was the old man who was talking to the emperor: Feng Ang, I really didn't expect that this old guy would come too.

"Crown Prince", when he heard the emperor calling him, Li Chengqian immediately gave Changsun Wuji a sentence, turned around and walked to the steps to respectfully give Li Shimin a great gift. When the countries come to pay tribute, the etiquette should not be neglected. As the prince, he must set an example.

"Crown Prince, the person standing in front of you is the general of Gaozhou, the general of the Right Guard of the Procuratorate, Feng Ang of the Duke of Wu, my old friend in my life is also a senior in the army. You should see him with the courtesy of the younger generation."

If this situation wasn't wrong, Li Chengqian would have to say something, what an old friend, wouldn't you beat him five years ago?

Speaking of this, it was the first year of Zhenguan that someone falsely accused Feng Ang of rebellion, saying that Feng Ang had raised an army to resist the territory. The emperor told the Right Wu Guard General Lin Mu to lead Jiangling Arm troops to prepare for the attack.

Wei Zheng advised: The country was first established, and everything was in trouble. The army was very tired and had an epidemic. Moreover, the soldiers of the court should not fight against the barbarians. Even if they win, it would not show the strength of our dynasty. If they defeated the country, they would also hit their tricks. So the emperor sent the severing cavalry attendant Wei Shuxie to appease him. Feng Ang immediately sent his son Zhidai to the court to serve the emperor.

"Chengqian has met Mr. Feng." After speaking, he gave Feng Ang a gift openly. Feng Ang was so scared that he quickly gave him a gift. The prince gave him a gift, but he asked him to burn it. No one among the ministers could bear the gift of Li Chengqian except for the third division.

"I have admired Mr. Feng for a long time. Mr. Feng is the pillar of our Tang Dynasty. He has resisted barbarians outside and kept the people at home. He has worked hard and made great contributions to promoting the unification of China. Moreover, Mrs. Xian's reputation has spread to the nine provinces. Today, he can comfort his life's shock when he meets his grandson."

When Feng Ang heard the prince praise his grandmother so much, he looked like a lotus flower. The person he admired the most in his life was his grandmother. However, he had another idea in his mind. This little prince was really as Zhi Dai said, a small man, a big man, a man, a man, and a man who talks to others, and a man who talks to others.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince praised it. Feng is a Chinese lineage. Maintaining the unity of the Central Plains is to do everything possible to follow the rules of the ministers. You should not be praised like this."

Haha... "Mingyuan, don't be too modest. The prince is right. You are a hero of the country, and it is not an exaggeration to receive any kind of praise."

"Father, Fan Kuai, the former hero of Emperor Gaozu of Han, saved his master at the Hongmen Banquet and was in a dilemma. Xiang Yu disagreed and gave him wine and meat. People in later generations always praised his loyalty and righteousness.

Now the Duke of Wu is no less than his predecessors. Why didn’t his father follow the example of ancient people in commending the wise men and ask Yan to make his book to paint and pass it on to future generations to demonstrate the prosperity of our wise ministers and wise ministers of the Tang Dynasty.”

After listening to Li Chengqian's suggestion, the emperor couldn't help but exclaim: "Mingyuan is my Fan Kuai. I want the Feng family to guard the country's gates for my Tang Dynasty for generations." Then he quickly asked someone to bring the wine and a roasted pork hind legs of the outside and tender pig on the outside and ordered Yan Liben to draw and record it.

Seeing Feng Ang being treated so politely by the emperor, many ministers also started to whisper in their seats. Feng Ang, who had originally entered Beijing with a nervous mood, was in a good mood at this moment, and he looked very heroic when eating and drinking with fine wine and barbecue.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, then smiled and stroked his beard. Chengqian was more alert than Qingque. Just talk about this Feng Ang. He is like a local emperor in Lingnan. After three lifetimes, who knows whether this guy is the next Sun Quan.

Now, in front of all civil and military officials, the envoys of various countries firmly trapped him and let them witness the royal family's kindness to Feng. If one day this guy does something wrong, the court will send troops without any hindrance.

Unlike Wang Hua, who relied on several broken boats and did not take me seriously, even dared to refuse my orders for the banquet. It was too unreasonable.

Of course, Feng Ang also understood that since the fifth year of Wude surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he had repeatedly refused to go to Beijing. The emperor had lost patience with the native Lingnan King. As soon as he destroyed the Eastern Turks, he issued a kind order to himself, Wang Hua and others, asking them to come to Beijing to meet and celebrate the festival and receive rewards.

If he refuses to come to pay his respects, he will probably face the cavalry of the Sixteen Guards. In that case, he will not only lose the Feng family’s century-old foundation, but also be sorry for the people of Lingnan who followed them to farm. Therefore, Feng Ang came here with the idea of ​​being imprisoned and killed.

But unexpectedly, the emperor made such a resounding promise in front of everyone because of the little prince’s words. This person is really my benefactor of the Feng family. It seems that I was in danger this time.

After a while, Feng Ang, who had eaten the pig's legs, took his son Feng Zhidai and walked to Li Chengqian with a wine glass: "Your Highness, the old minister, although he has been in the southern border for a long time and is far away from the Central Plains, his noble's famous old minister still knows some of his letters from Zhidai's family."

"Your Highness was established in the Western Expedition and Northern Expedition, which really made these veterans on the battlefield ashamed. Today I will experience your noble's kindness and kindness here again. I really admire you, so I will bring my children to greet you."

Old Feng was so humble. He was afraid that the old guy who had fought on the battlefield for decades would have more heart than scars. This was just to thank him for his protection for him just now and to make friends with him. Since he didn't want to be a thief, he naturally had to get closer to the future emperor.

When Li Chengqian thought of this, he pretended to be angry: "Donald Feng bullied my young man, one cup is enough, at least three bowls." After saying that, he asked someone to fill it with six bowls.

However, Li Chengqian's words really made Feng Ang stunned. This little prince is really worthy of fighting in the army, and he has calmed down his temper: "Your Highness is indeed heroic, and it is the old minister who is speechless. The old minister is respectful first." After speaking, the king and his minister touched each other for a while, and then drank it.

After wiping his mouth, Feng Ang smiled and said, "The dog son is young and ignorant of the world. In the future, he will ask His Highness to take care of him in the court."
