Feng Lin was already standing waiting, and Eunuch Wang stepped forward to fill the drinks for the two of them. In the first cup, Feng Hua affirmed Feng Lin's contribution to quelling the rebellion, and announced that he would increase his salary by 1,200 stones and reward 240 servants. Feng Lin shouted long live and bowed to thank him. After drinking a glass of wine, Feng Hua poured another glass of wine again.

This time, Feng Hua said, "King Ning, I have a reluctant request. I wonder if you are willing to say it?"

A dull look flashed across Feng Lin's gentle and virtuous face. He ignored him and seemed to listen: "I am afraid, I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to? If you can do your best, you will not let Your Majesty down."

Bai Jinyu had known that Feng Lin was an old fox, and his answer was so generous that he sounded very obedient, but in fact, the subtext was: I'll take a look at what I'll think about it first, and think about it carefully. If it's worth it, it's not worth it.

"King Ning is humble, and this matter must be within your ability." Feng Hua said sincerely: "This time, the imperial guards in the capital suffered heavy losses. Now the general situation is just settled. The court is working on people. King Ning, why don't you go back if you come back to the government soldiers under your command. Let them stay in Chang'an to supplement the defense of the capital. I will promote each of them with seventh ranks or above one level!"

The hall seemed to be quieter, and the rows of princes were sweating in their foreheads when they heard it.

Feng Hua should not be called sincerity, but rather a shameless and unscrupulous person.

Feng Hua asked King Ning's troops to stay in Chang'an to enrich the imperial guards. This is just a literal meaning. The actual attempt under the face is to cut off King Ning's military power!

Ning Wang was stunned unexpectedly.

Feng Hua smiled kindly and said with some meaning: "There shouldn't be so many horses and soldiers in the Ning Mansion, right?"

When King Ning heard this, he immediately put down his cup and walked out of the case table. He knelt down in front of Fenghua and bowed his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I have made mistakes, but I have a reason to raise so many soldiers. It is just because the Huai River is flooded every year, and when the flood peak comes, it is unstoppable. Whether it is rescue or post-disaster reconstruction, it requires a large amount of manpower. The so-called raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while. If I wait for the water disaster to come before catching the strong men, it may miss the rescue time, so I usually raise some more manpower."

"Haha, some?" A man sneered not far from Fenglin.

Bai Jinyu turned her head to look, and she saw that the person who was talking had a little impression. It was Qin Jian, the Zhongshu Sheren who sent Feng Li to the chopping board that day.

I still remember You Xin's work last time, so when Bai Jinyu heard his sneer, he immediately raised his eyebrows, knowing that he would not speak for no reason.

Just as Bai Jinyu expected, Fenghua did not stop a subordinate who mocked the prince so rebelliously, but stood up and waited for him to continue talking.

Sure enough, Qin Jian said: "Before the founding of the country, the land of Zhongtu split for more than 150 years, and dozens of countries survived side by side. It was Emperor Gaozu of Feng's family who worked hard to govern, expanded territory, and completed the great cause of unification that was recorded in history. In the early days of the founding of the country, Emperor Gaozu divided his seventeen princes into all parts of the world and gave them the power to station troops, so that they could consolidate the royal power in various places in various places to protect Feng's family."

"However," Qin Jian said: "There are many times, and more than a hundred years later, the people of the states and prefectures have already surrendered to the great orders. Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict, and the defense of the local governments was gradually ruled by the heads of the government offices of various places. The prince's military soldiers shall not exceed 2,000 from then on. Violators shall be punished for the crime of conspiracy."

After he said this, the air in Yinghua Palace was frozen, and a murderous aura erupted from all directions. In this particularly quiet, Bai Jinyu heard several pairs of chopsticks falling to the ground, and each of the "clang" sounds was very connotative.

After a brief pause, Qin Jian said, "I dared to say that the 50,000 cavalry that came to the Ning Palace this time should not be all? In this way, His Highness Ning's mansion may have more than two thousand soldiers..."

King Ning crawled at Fenghua's feet, pointing his head to the ground, and no one knew what his expression was now.

Fenghua bent over and was about to help him up when a cold voice sounded quietly: "Fifty thousand? Where are there so many? King Ning's soldiers died thousands of miles away, are there 30,000 left now?"

Yinghua Palace was suddenly at a loss.

"Feng Ye!" Feng Hua condensed his pupils and stared at the person talking. He handed the cup in his hand to Eunuch Wang beside him, and he didn't want to drink it again.

King Feng Ye of Chu was a little heroic. He bent his legs upright and sat obliquely in his position. He said coldly: "The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the birds are hidden. I only now understand the good strategy of the Emperor's two birds with stones, which is a fisherman's benefit!"

A hot discussion immediately broke out from the hall, and many princes were asking "what is what the King of Chu said."

Obviously, the voice also entered Feng Ye's ears. He smiled as if he had seen a joke, stood up slowly, pointed to the prince around him, and pointed to the circle of the prince and said, "You idiots, haven't you awakened yet?"

"Who do you say is a fool?!"

"Fengye, please pay attention to your words!"

"You have the courage to say it again!"

"You think we are afraid of you!"

...

Several princes were angry with Feng Ye. When Feng Ye saw them condemning him, he burst into laughter and said, "I have never seen you so stupid, haha, including me!"

As he said that, he turned around, his eyes turned into a sharp sword and stabbed Fenghua, saying, "The Chang'an chaos is in chaos. You don't come out to transfer the defense of the states and prefectures. Even the prince has shrunk in Luoyang before he arrived in Chang'an, but he asked all the princes' soldiers to come to serve the king. Isn't the purpose of asking the princes to reveal the true scale of the soldiers? After we help you kill the enemy and quell the rebellion, you now find someone to say, "The prince's soldiers must not exceed 2,000, and those who violate the crime of conspiring for chaos"... What? Are you going to settle the score with us now?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a horror in Yinghua Palace. Fenghua and Fengye stood in confrontation, and their eyes were as strong as water and fire in the flash.

Feng Ye continued, "Your Majesty, you're really a good debt! In this way, you can ask the princes' soldiers to fight against Feng Li's border guards to defeat both sides. And you are going to take this endgame of the snipe and clam fight?"

Faced with Feng Ye's aggressiveness, Feng Hua was very calm. He calmed down his anger and said lightly: "Your Highness, are you drunk now? "

Feng Ye smiled and said, "I'm not drunk. I have any words that I have said wrong and misunderstood. Please ask His Majesty the Emperor to correct me!"

"You..." Feng Hua was so angry that he was choked. The reason why he was choked was because what Feng Ye said was true, and he could say it was a sharp point, and every point was caught by him.

"Fengye, I'll tell you why the soldiers in the palaces of the princes could be mobilized?"
