Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1122: up court

  Chapter 1122 Upcoming

  Following the little yellow door into the conservatory, I realized that someone had already arrived earlier than me.

   Liu Yan, Wei Yan, and Jiang Wan were all present, and besides these three, there were two young gentlemen, who were the younger brothers of the current Emperor of Han, Liu Yong, King of Ganling, and Liu Li, King of Anping.

   When several people saw Feng Yong coming in, they had different reactions.

  Jiang Wan acted as a matchmaker for Feng Junhou twice, and Feng Junhou took the initiative to transfer the government affairs under the jurisdiction of the Zhendong General's Mansion to Shangshutai.

   Reciprocity is the norm, and Jiang Wan will also send someone to notify Feng Junhou of important decisions made by Shangshutai.

  So the cooperation between the two is pleasant, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

   It's just the people present here. Although Jiang Wan is powerful, but in terms of official position, he is the lowest.

  So before the few people in front of them spoke, he could only smile and nod to Feng Junhou, as a greeting.

  Wei Yan and Feng Junhou have always had a rift, and it is well known—anyway, Wei Yan has no friends in the court, and it is also well known.

  So when I saw Feng Junhou, I just glanced at him, and never looked him straight.

  Feng Junhou was not in the mood to care about him, he just stepped forward and saluted Liu Li and Liu Yong:

   "Chen Yong, pay homage to the two Highnesses."

   On the day of Feng Junhou's wedding, these two brothers were sent by the emperor to Zhendong General's Mansion to congratulate him on his behalf, so they are no strangers to Feng Junhou.

  Compared to Liu Li, who was a little nervous, the older Liu Yong seemed calmer. He quickly pulled Liu Li to stand up together, and helped Feng Junhou:

   "General Zhendong does not need to be formal, please hurry up."

   On the contrary, Liu Yan, who has the least dealings with Feng Junhou, has the most enthusiastic attitude:

   "General Zhendong is here? Come, come, sit here."

  Feng Junhou thanked Liu Yan, and then said apologetically:

   "Snooze and sleep, I can't get up for a while, but I am a step late, ashamed and ashamed!"

  Among these few people, Liu Yan is the oldest, and Wei Yan and Jiang Wan are not much different in age, but they are already past their ears.

   But Feng Junhou was just standing there, and he was the last one to come over. Although it was not intentional, it was indeed a bit unreasonable on the surface.

  Unexpectedly, Liu Yan smiled and said:

   "It's okay, it's okay, we are all old, and old people can't sleep at night. The old man often wakes up several times at night. I don't know how much I envy you, who can sleep peacefully at night."

  Although Liu Yan is in a high position, he has never participated in state affairs and has no real power in his hands.

  If he followed his previous thinking, his son would be able to inherit his title and maintain a little dignity in the future, and it would be almost the end.

   I never thought that after my son joined the Xinghan Club, many changes took place in the family, which surprised Liu Yan first, and then made him laugh from ear to ear.

  He is a person who likes luxury and enjoyment. There are dozens of housewives in his family who are specially used for singing and dancing.

  When the first emperor was around, the rewards were generous, so there was no need to worry about making ends meet.

  For example, the first emperor once rewarded the prime minister with as much as "500 jin of gold, 1000 jin of silver, 50 million yuan, and 1000 pieces of brocade".

  But after the First World War in Yiling, the country's affairs were so difficult that even the imperial court had to tighten their belts. How could there be any rewards?

  The fields in Shu are mostly in the hands of local aristocratic families. Even the founding fathers don't have much land!

   Otherwise, Liu Yan would not have lowered his status back then, and he would not even have the shame, and planned to use the big to bully the small, and put his mind on the business that Xinghan Club had just started.

   I just didn't expect it, I thought I was just trying to catch a ground turtle, but I never thought that I was bitten by Fu Kun, and even my son was involved.

   Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, my son is a promising man, and later he was willing to bow his head to someone Feng and join Xinghanhui. He is really a capable man.

   Facts have proved that Liu Jiazi really went the right way. If not, how could he come to be the chief history of the Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion today?

  The barbarians in the frontier are all well-known and vying to please.

  Compared with the present and the past, it can be said that there is heaven and earth.

  The income at home is constant, and the son has a safe future abroad. How can Liu Yan not be overly enthusiastic about Feng Junhou?

  And what he said is true.

   After all, people are old, it is normal to sleep lightly, wake up easily, and wake up often at night.

   Not to mention that Liu Yan’s family has so many housewives, the amount of kidney consumption, cough, the pressure on the kidney is a bit heavy.

   What Liu Yan didn't expect was that what he said annoyed Wei Yan who was sitting alone.

   "Old man Liu, you are old and useless, what do you have to do with others? Do you think everyone is the same as you, and can't sleep at night? This old man sleeps soundly!"

  The discord between Wei Yan and Liu Yan is worse than that between Feng Junhou.

  The reason is also very simple.

  Because in Wei Yan's view, Liu Yan is just relying on his status as a veteran, but he can rank above him without making any achievements.

  How can Wei Yan, who is naturally arrogant, give Liu Yan a good face?

   As for Liu Yan, although he is now amiable to Feng Junhou, he is actually paranoid and aggressive.

   Otherwise, in history, they would not have brought disaster on themselves and ended up abandoning the market.

  In the early years, Liu and Wei had a big fight in public, but in the end, the prime minister mediated and asked Liu Yan to apologize to Wei Yan.

  No way, Wei Yan has nothing to do with Feng Mingwen, who holds a lot of power, but it's different for Liu Yan, who has a false name but no real power.

  Liu Yan had heard about Wei Yan's losses, and when he heard Wei Yan's scolding words, his face changed, and he secretly hated him.

   It’s just that he didn’t dare to reply in the end, so he could only act as if he didn’t hear it. He continued what he said before, and said to Feng Junhou:

   "Besides, Junhou is highly valued by the emperor, and he shares the worries for the emperor. Especially these days, it is very hard for Junhou to work on the matter of Liangzhou army being incorporated into the Chinese army?"

   "So, Junhou has worked much harder than us useless old thieves, and it is normal to sleep a little bit."

   Damn it!

  As soon as these words came out, not to mention Feng Yong and Wei Yan, even Jiang Wan, who was sitting in the corner watching the play, couldn't help but look at Liu Yan seriously.

  This word...

   It's like stabbing the heart of General Zhendong!

  General Zhendong is in charge of the military, and General Zhendong is sleeping. Isn't this pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, saying that General Zhendong is a useless old thief?

  How did Wei Yan endure this?

  He was angry from the heart, and he stood up with his sword suddenly, his eyes glared at Liu Yan, and his expression seemed to be devouring:

   "Old thief, who are you talking about?"

  Feng Junhou, who hadn't sat down yet, fixed his gaze, and then stood up straight, subconsciously pressed the hilt of his sword, and looked at Wei Yan:

   "Old Wei..."

   After doing these actions reflexively, and halfway through speaking, Feng suddenly realized that there seemed to be no one around him!

   To be precise, there are no guards.

  The most important thing is that Guan Xiaojunhou did not follow.

   Zhao Guang's meat shield is not known in which corner...

   Realizing this, Feng Junhou broke into a cold sweat on this autumn night.

   "Old General Wei, this is in front of the palace gate, and your Highnesses are still here. What are you planning to do?"

   You can't beat the fight, but you can't lose the momentum.

  Looking at Wei Yan's appearance, Feng Junhou was also a little bit drummed, if you really dare to do something, let's see how my Xijun can help me avenge him.

   Besides, today is the day when the emperor bestows rewards on his ministers, and everyone is pointing to promotion to get rich.

   If you really want to make a fuss, you will offend everyone and offend all the emperors and ministers.

   At that time, if someone really wants to kill you, I will definitely add insult to injury.

  Feng Junhou's heart turned like an electric shock, and he stood firm on one side.

  Hearing Feng Yong's words, Wei Yan turned his head and glanced at Liu Yong and Liu Li, and then there was a faint sound of the blade being unsheathed from the saber in his hand.

  He didn't speak, just let out a heavy "hum", and walked out the door.

  Although it was only a few breaths, the two most famous generals of the big man had the intention of facing each other with swords, which really scared Liu Yong and Liu Li a little at a loss.

  Both of them held their breath at the same time, staring blankly at the scene in front of them, without thinking of standing up to stop it.

  But they can't be blamed for this, after all, they were still young and didn't know much about Yiling during the first battle.

  When they grow up, the big man has won every victory, and keeps regaining the old land.

  Woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, worried about thieves and soldiers entering Shu, that was something their elder brother, Fatty, had to go through.

  So these two young princes and kings were both grown up in a greenhouse.

  Wei Yan and Feng Junhou are not the same, they are both generals who have fought in the battlefield all the year round, with blood on their hands, and their bodies are extremely murderous.

  Especially the figures of these two people are tall and big. Once they draw their swords in anger, it will indeed bring a great sense of oppression.

   But Liu Yan, the moment Wei Yan stood up, his heart seemed to be tightened in an instant.

   At that moment, he realized that now, there is no prime minister.

  The prime minister who could suppress Wei Yan is no longer here.

   Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, it was Feng Junhou who stood up, which filled him with gratitude.

   "Thank you, sir."

   Little did he know that Feng Junhou was also relieved when he saw Wei Yan go out, and his body was already covered with white sweat.

   "I didn't expect Junhou to make Wei Yan back down a step."

  I can make old man Wei back down!

   Who knows what he was thinking?

  Feng Junhou looked at Liu Yan, feeling somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

  People are addicted to vegetables!

  Clearly knowing that he is no match for others, he still wants to tease her.

   How different is it from my son Ah Chong?

  Can't beat Shuangshuang, but still has to be mean, in the end, besides being pushed to the ground and beaten violently, what else can I do?

   It's just that he is Liu Liang's adult after all. For Liu Liang's sake, Feng Junhou still persuaded him:

   "Uncle Liu, it's better not to provoke this person in the future. It was fine when the prime minister was around, and he could still be suppressed. Now that the prime minister is gone, if he really wants to fight, no one can stop him."

   Liu Yan's face was a little embarrassing:

   "Who told him to speak so badly just now? I can't hold back my breath..."

   You deserve to be abandoned!

   Knowing the consequences, but still unable to control my impulse.

  After such an incident, the people in the room were not interested in talking. After greeting each other, they chatted about simple topics one by one.

   It made Feng Junhou feel like dozing off.

   Fortunately, not long after, Xiao Huangmen came in again, bowed to the people in the house and said:

   "Gentlemen, the time has come."

   Several people came out of the warm house, and they saw that the gate of the palace was being pushed open rattly, and the officials had already started to line up in the order of going to court.

  There are three lanes in the gate of the palace, the middle lane is dedicated to the emperor, and the officials have been divided into two teams, each standing on the left and right lanes, ready to enter the palace in order.

  This time it is Feng Junhou's turn to be a little confused: Where should I stand?

  Looking at the hesitant Feng Junhou, Liu Yan, who wanted to build a good relationship with Feng Junhou, reminded:

   "Your Majesty, please stand behind Wei Yan."

  Looking around, he saw Wei Yan standing at the front of the road to the west.

   And Liu Yan walked over calmly and stood in front of Wei Yan.

  Jiang Wan stood at the head of the road to the east.

   Seeing this, Feng Junhou remembered Madam You's advice:

  Princes, princes, heroes, generals and other generals line up in the west; those who have no military merit or military merits and are not as good as the feudal lords, line up in the east.

   Logically speaking, there should be two people in front of me.

  One is Zhenyuan general Wu Ban, and the other is former general Deng Zhi.

   It's just that these two people now, one stays in Jincheng and the other guards Bingzhou, so I, the general of Zhendong, ranks third.

  At this time, the gate of the imperial palace had been fully opened, the lanterns in the palace were shining like daylight, and the soldiers lined up on both sides of the majesty's road, and the audience could only hear shouting: "The ministers enter the palace!"

   But Liu Yong, who was standing at the front, handed over his palace entry certificate, and the person in charge of verification checked his appearance before allowing him to enter.

   Seeing this, Feng Junhou finally understood why he had to wait in line so early.

  Although the big man is still in the stage of conquering the world, everything is kept simple, but there are not two hundred officials in the upper court, but there are more than one hundred.

   After such a one-by-one alignment, the sky is bright.

   Fortunately, Feng Junhou stood in fifth place, so he didn't have to suffer so much cold wind outside.

   Entering the palace, there are soldiers of the tiger infantry standing on both sides of the road, each holding a halberd and wearing armor, protecting the ministers entering the palace.

   Walking a hundred steps forward, you will become a tiger cavalry army, equipped with armored riding gear, and the flags are lined up, which is extremely chilling.

  Although these armored cavalry were created by himself, Feng Junhou was caught in the middle of them. The key is that he still walks. They stand on horseback, condescending, which is very uncomfortable.

  Always worried that those ten-foot-long halberds would suddenly come down and stab themselves into human-shaped meat skewers.

  Come to the steps of the front hall of Weiyang Palace and stand still, and start to wait.

  The awe-inspiring air brought by the cavalry soldiers around made everyone involuntarily quiet down.

  Until all the officials were inspected and all entered the palace, only three bells of "Dangdangdang" were heard, and then a visitor shouted at the gate of the hall:

   "The auspicious time has come, Your Majesty is coming, come!"

   All the officials began to trot up the steps in a single file, ran over the long steps, came to the gate of the hall, untied the saber around their waists, took off their shoes, and trotted into the hall.

   Not everyone can enter the palace, only officials with more than six hundred stones and the emperor's special edict are eligible to enter the palace.

  The rest are listed in the corridor according to the official position, and again, listed in His Highness.

   Waiting for all the officials to take their seats, there was only a burst of bell music, the emperor ascended his seat, and the officials shouted long live, then walked to their seats and knelt down.

  Although chairs have become popular in the big man, kneeling is still the most important etiquette on important occasions, which shows solemnity.

   This is a pain for Feng Junhou. When he first crossed over, he couldn't practice kneeling properly.

   Not to mention that over the years, jumpsuits have been produced in such a hurry, and chairs have been produced in such a hurry, why are they still used to kneeling?

  The big man now has neither a prime minister nor a third prince. With Feng Junhou's status, he is naturally in the front position, and he can't even hide in a corner and be lazy.
