Chapter 93 The True Monument of Kowloon

The legendary Empress Zhou comes from a small country east of Dafeng. Her name is not enough to be an outsider. She just knows that there was once such a small country.

That is, because the status of the biological mother is not noble, the second prince Feng Ziqi's status in the palace is not as respected as that of other princes. Yunshang unconsciously looked at Concubine Zhou when she thought of this. Her eyes were as calm as water, and it was no wonder that such gentle eyes could fascinate the vigorous emperor of the Feng Dynasty at that time.

Seeing that she was looking at herself, Zhou Fei smiled and turned back to Feng Ziqi and said, "Feng'er, you and the little princess are about the same age. They are all young people. They must be able to talk together." She raised the corners of her mouth to Yunshang again, "I'm old. I'm going back to rest."

Yunshang nodded shyly and felt that it was a little inappropriate to take a good time just now. Mrs. Zhou, take your time." After thinking about it, that's all she can think of.

Concubine Zhou took someone away. After Feng Zigong saw her off, she turned around and looked at her.

In the garden under the moon, to be honest, she would rather play the piano with a frog sleeping in the pond than to the gloomy second prince.

Feng Ziqi didn't speak, and Yunshang didn't say anything. The two stood so awkwardly.

For a long time, Yunshang smiled softly, turned around, and stopped standing against him. If your Highness is all right, Yunshang will say goodbye.

Under the moon, the man with a silver-white dark dragon pattern seemed to have a cold atmosphere, "You promised me..."

He only started one head, and Yunshang took it. "I didn't forget what I promised you." A sarcastic smile flashed on her white face. "Although Lou Yunshang's reputation is not very good, he is a trustworthy person."

I don't know why, looking at such a smile, Feng Ziqi couldn't think of a word that could refute her.

"The king of Hanhai Kingdom is not just sending people to pay tribute." He opened his mouth to the bright moon.

After listening to what he said about this serious matter, Yunshang's mind was half relaxed. After returning his mind to the normal operation track, Yunshang opened his mouth and said, "The king of Hanhai is an ambitious person, but his cleverness is just a little trick in Yunshang's eyes."

"How do you say this?" He moved slightly and stood in front of her. Some of the flowers around him have withered, and some still have petals, revealing the last fragrance.

"This time, although we only had a draw with Hanhai, the general sent by Hanhai was a well-experienced commander, and the marshal we sent was a fledgling Lu Shen. In terms of combat experience and platooning, he lost half first, but the number of enemy troops was not dominant, so We didn't lose all, it's just a draw. She frowned and thought carefully, and said, "I think your majesty also considered these reasons, so he set up a banquet for Lu Shen, and also made him a major general."

A strange color flashed in Feng Ziqi's eyes. She nodded and praised, "Yes, my father did talk to us like this, but the battle report that he announced victory to the outside like this is also out of the role of stabilizing the military."

This is undeniable, and Yunshang also nodded, "What I don't understand is also this point. Even if Lu Shen did not win, we still have Lu Can, the Northern Marquis. Even if Lu Can, the Northern Marquis, is old, the armament of the Dafeng Dynasty is not a decoration.

Feng Ziqi looked at her in surprise, "Don't you know that in the Dafeng Dynasty, in addition to the Northern Marquis Lu Can, there is still someone who controls a tiger charm that can dispatch troops?"

Yunshang was more surprised than his expression, and her eyes widened and looked at Feng Zizhen. This is also the first time that she stared at Feng Zijing so blatantly.

"Tiger charm? What is that?"

Feng Zi was stunned for a while and smiled faintly, "So you also don't know."

Yunshang didn't seem to be so afraid of him at this time. She curled her lips, casually found a place, took her sleeve and flicked the dust on it, and sat on her buttocks. "I'm not a fairy. Naturally, there's something I don't know."

"Do you know that the founding emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty was a woman?" Feng Ziqi also sat down next to her, and her expression was a little relaxed, not as serious as before. "Just because it was a woman who started the country, the queen originally planned to pass on the country to women from generation to generation, so she named the country 'Dafeng Dynasty'. However, the good times did not last long. The queen soon found that the emperor's position was not suitable for all women. Zi, her own daughter, Princess Kaiyuan, eloped with a man the night before the accession ceremony.

"Ah?" Yunshang couldn't help saying, "Oh, my God, it turns out that not only the queen is awesome, but also the queen's daughter is so brave and tough! It's true that you don't want a beautiful woman.

Feng Ziqi glanced at her stunned and said, "So, you don't have to care too much about the shortness of those people. In the Dafeng Dynasty, women are more noble, and it's okay to be arrogant."

Yunshang blinked her eyes and didn't understand what he meant. Feng Ziqi smiled softly, turned her head and looked at a budding yellow next to her. Ju, "The queen felt that there was no hope for a successor, so she had no choice but to pass the throne to the second son, and she abolished the rule that only women but not men."

Yunshang was fascinated and nodded. The founding queen of the Dafeng Dynasty was also a sensible person. She was able to stand and waste. This kind of strong man's broken wrist-like courage was no longer comparable to that of ordinary men. Thinking of this, Yunshang couldn't help admiring her even more.

"She was not willing to completely decentralize her power. Therefore, before abdication, she divided the tiger charm that controlled the military power of the Dafeng Dynasty into two, half of which was left to the current emperor, and the other half was secretly given to a confidant minister, which was this unaccounted for, which made the lords of all dynasties uneasy."

"So, when your majesty needs soldiers and horses very much now, he is overstretched without a tiger charm, isn't it?" Yunshang thought for a moment and said, "In this way, in addition to the current soldiers and horses, half of the soldiers and horses are hidden and dormant in the Dafeng Dynasty, but the existence of these horses is not even known to His Majesty himself?"

Feng Ziqi sighed, "Yes, that's why when the envoys of Hanhai Kingdom enter Beijing, the royal families of each temple are invited to the palace for a big banquet for a few days."

After listening to Feng Ziqi's introduction, Yunshang fell into silence. She understood that this several-day banquet was not a performance of the royal boasting of wealth, but... a gorgeous and magnificent robe covering the conspiracy to imprison the leaders of the clans.

The emperor was worried that he was afraid that when foreign envoys came to pay tribute, someone would collude with foreign enemies, and the other half of the unaccounted tiger charm had become the heart disease of the emperors of the Dafeng Dynasty.

No wonder these emperors died so early. It turned out that the days of fear every day could really make people die quickly.

Yunshang tried to taste it and said, "If the emperor does not act, will the other half of the tiger charm surface? Push him off the stage?"

Feng Zifeng's face changed, "You mean someone will be violent. Is it a disturbance?"

Yunshang stretched her muscles and bones and moved her neck. "There is also such a possibility. If the emperor does not act and makes the people miserable, in troubled times, he can not only produce treacherous heroes, but also heroes. Maybe the other half of the tiger charm will play its historical mission."

"Historical mission?" Feng Zifeng seemed to understand something and suddenly realized, "Are you saying that Her Majesty's decision at the beginning was a retreat left because she was afraid that those in power were incompetent and could not govern the country well?"

"Yes!" Yunshang was more surprised than him. "Of course. Is there any reason why a mother doesn't leave good things for her children?"

Feng Zifeng was speechless. This inference was too new for him. The reason why he was taught in the past was to always beware of the rebellion of the other half of the tiger charm, but no one told him that this half of the tiger charm could also save him from water and fire.

She is right. The founding queen is the mother of the Liyuan Emperor, and she is the mother of the people of the Dafeng Dynasty. She loves her children and leaves a community, but she loves her people more. If her children can't make the country good, she would rather give up her small family to become everyone!

This kind of mind and awareness made Feng Zi feel ashamed.

These ignorant descendants misunderstood the meaning of their ancestors without exception. I just saw the darkest and worst side with my own selfish heart, and no one understood her painstaking efforts.

I don't know if the queen will always feel bitter in the underground these years?

She?

She easily understood the queen's intention?

The so-called words wake up the dreamer. Yunshang is shaking her calves, sitting on the stone blowing the night wind happily, looking at a round of bright moon, and Feng Ziqi beside her has experienced a twists and turns in her heart...

This woman... is a rare genius! Feng Ziqi told herself in her heart that she was determined to win.

Yunshang sat sleepy. He jumped off the stone and patted the floating earth on his hands. "The moonlight is just right tonight. Your Highness, watch it slowly. Yunshang retreats."

***

The lunar calendar said, "The fighting finger is white dew, and the yin qi is getting heavier and heavier. Ling is dew, so it is called white dew."

When Bailu came on this day, the envoy of Hanhai had stayed here for seven or eight days. In the court on this day, the envoy finally said the intention of his lord.

However, what the king of Hanhai wanted this time was unexpected by everyone.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty, the Lord of our country prays for God, I would like to pray for a treasure in your country, I would like to welcome back to the Hanhai Dynasty, enter incense every day, recite it night, and pray for the health of our subjects and people." The envoy spoke in a stiff and lame Mandarin, which was very respectful and made the old emperor very useful.

Gu Wenlun, a university scholar, asked for the emperor, "Dafeng Chengtianze in the upper court and receives the favor of the rich land. There are more than thousands of treasures in the country. I don't know which treasure is the treasure of my Dafeng Dynasty that the king of Hanhai prayed to heaven?

The envoy raised his head obediently and made another national salute. "What His Majesty prayed for is the Kowloon Monument of your country."

As soon as he said this, not only Gu Wenlun and Cao Ruyan beside him changed sharply, but also the emperor at the top also changed his face.

"Don't joke, my envoy. The Jiulong True Monument is a divine object recorded in ancient books. How can it be found at will? Not to mention rewarding it to the King of Hanhai, even we have never seen the true face of Lushan. Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Ruyan hurried out to relieve the siege.

Unfortunately, the envoy did not understand his feelings and did not mean to continue his words. Cao Taifu, you are full of poetry. How can you not be as good as me, a small envoy from a foreign country? Isn't the Jiulong True Monument enshrined in the Chang'an Hall in your country? The Jiulong True Monument is a sacred object. His Majesty knows the rarity of this thing, so he is willing to give up the two small islands of Liuzhu and Pingfu. In exchange, I don't know if the emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty, would you like to consider one or two?
