Nagato has a thin waist

Feng Yun came out of Changmen and went straight to Xiaojie Qiu.

Today's Xiaojieqiu is no longer the barren mountains and mountains it once was. Along the way, there are not only various workshops, but also many private houses and shops, as well as the workhouses used by the craftsmen.

There are no outsiders in the private houses here.

Nagato’s land, Nagato’s people.

The shop is run by Nagato, and all the business is done by himself.

The entire small boundary hill belongs to Nagato.

A mile or two further into the mountain, you can see the patrolling Mei Ling tribe.

They were all trained by Hou Zhun in the army. They lined up and followed the laws and regulations, and they were tightly guarded.

Guan Wei took her child to Changmen today, and Hou Zhun came to greet her outside the gate.

"Mother, please come inside."

Feng Yun nodded, "How is Master Mei?"

Hou Zhun smiled and said: "I am full of energy and eager to try."

Feng Yun smiled and strode inside.

Hou Zhun stepped aside.

Entering the gate, you can see a martial arts school ground, which is spacious and grand, not inferior to Beiyong Military Camp. Walking further inside, the barracks are neat and orderly.

Feng Yun went to sit in the meeting room without disturbing others.

Hou Zhun made the tea himself and placed it on the wooden table.

"Is there any news coming from the south?"

Feng Yun said: "It is said that Xiao Sanzhi is in Xinzhou. But in my opinion, his purpose is definitely not just a Xinzhou..."

Hou Zhun nodded, "Huaxi is close to the Changhe River and the Huai River, and it's not far from Xinzhou. We still have to make plans."

Feng Yun said: "This is exactly the purpose of my coming here. General Hou, they all say that Andu is the foundation of Yong Dynasty, and Huaxi is the foundation of Changmen. In fact, the foundation of Changmen is not in Huaxi, but in Xiaojieqiu. You Do you understand?"

Hou Zhun clasped his hands together and said, "I understand that I will live up to your Majesty's trust."

After saying that, he sighed to himself.

"Speaking of it, Xiao San can be regarded as a good master of the generation. If it is a metaphor, how can it be a bright one..."

Feng Yun laughed, "General, do you regret not returning to Southern Qi?"

Hou Zhun was startled, stroking the beard on his chin, and then laughed.

"What I said to my empress back then has never changed. I am really tired of the intrigues and intrigues in the court. Originally, the generals led the troops and only needed to fight bloody battles. No matter what else, there were always some people who stabbed each other in the back. I feel tired after seeing this kind of thing too much. It’s better to live in Xiaojieqiu, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, simple people, no endless plots and calculations, three meals a day, military training and farming, it’s simple..."

His wife, children, and children are all in the village of Xiaojieqiu, and they have no worries. Normally, Feng Yun would not restrain him too much, as if he was the "king" of Xiaojieqiu.

Here you can feel free and easy, and in Huaxi Town, everyone will greet you with a smile. Where can you find such a good life?

Feng Yun nodded, "Get the map and discuss setting up defenses."

In recent years, there have always been some people in the government and the public who have speculated on the number of Nagato's songs.

Some said it was in the thousands, while others exaggerated it to one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.

In fact, none of them are right.

Nagato now has a total of more than 32,000 men, and their weapons are all made by farm tool shops, including knives, spears, axes, halberds, and sophisticated bows and crossbows. They are also equipped with antlers, horses, trebuchets and other defensive equipment...

Feng Yun's goal of building Xiaojie Qiu into a defensive dock has long been achieved.

Today, the scale of Xiaojieqiu far exceeds the Tujiawu Fort that she envied back then.

Whether it is human or material resources.

Over the years, Xing Bing led some troops to guard Zhuangzi and escort goods, while the more than 30,000 people led by Hou Zhun were all trained as regular soldiers, and they were considered brave and good at fighting.

Hou Zhun was very confident, "Don't worry, Madam, the soldiers brought out by my subordinates are not included. Just don't use them. Once Xiao San crosses the Huai River and wants to get his hands on the small boundary hill, he will definitely be hit hard..."

Feng Yun smiled, his eyes gleaming slightly.

"If Xiaojie Qiu is trapped, how long can it be defended?"

Hou Zhun was silent for a moment, "Only guard against it, keep it safe for ten years."

To raise an army, you must first have food. Only with food can we maintain peace. The grain stored in the Xiaojieqiu grain depot must be enough for everyone to eat for ten years. This was Feng Yun's ambition when he started to build it.

She did all this.

After returning from Xiaojieqiu, Feng Yun felt much more at ease.

That night, she had a drink with the concubines at Nagato, went to bed early, and returned to the palace the next day and went straight to the Kirin Pavilion to see Ruibao.

The mother and son talked for a while, and Ruibao went to class.

When Feng Yun was about to leave, the chamberlain came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Tang Shaoqing would like to see you."

Feng Yun muttered, "Please."

-

After Feng Yun was granted the title of Feng Yun, every time Tang Shaogong saw Feng Yun, he was mostly respectful and polite, but also distant. He would not take the initiative to provoke or come to his door.

Feng Yun was very careful when dealing with this old member of Xie Jiajun's family who knew Pei Madang's private past.

At the same time, it was full of doubts.

She wanted to know more than anyone else what exactly Tang Shaogong had in his heart...

The "Plum Blossoms on the Snow" on the defense map and the death of Li Sangruo always made her feel grudge.

This man hates her.

He had hated him since he was still working as an errand beside Li Sangruo and his daughter.

Tang Shaogong came in and saluted.

Then she raised her eyes and glanced at the scriptures on her desk.

"The empress is praying for Dayong's army?"

"No." Feng Yun said, "Practice calligraphy."

Her expression was cold, which made Tang Shaogong frown, "Don't you care about your majesty's safety? The war in the border areas is urgent, the country is rising or falling, and your concubine actually has the leisure to practice calligraphy?"

Feng Yun's lips curled up slightly, "Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor, and he has God's blessing."

Tang Shaogong narrowed his eyes, leaving her speechless.

Feng Yun then slowly put down his pen and asked with a smile in a casual tone:

"Does Tang Shaoqing know what kind of crime should be committed by disrespecting the queen?"

Tang Shaogong's face was as cold as autumn, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty can be punished, and I am willing to die for your Majesty."

Is this arrogant?

Feng Yun sat calmly, looked at Tang Shaogong for a moment, and smiled slightly: "Tang Shaoqing is one of our own, so there is no need to play riddles. Let's be honest. What do you want me to do?"

Tang Shaogong said: "It seems that the empress knows nothing about the recent affairs in the court."

Feng Yun said: "What's the matter?"

Tang Shaogong said: "Your Majesty is on the march personally, and the war is at a stalemate. There is no leader in the court, and the prince is young. We urgently need the empress to come forward and stabilize the court..."

He paused for a moment and then said: "Over the years, despite His Majesty's strict orders, corruption and perversion of the law have still not been eradicated. Now that Your Majesty is away, the three provinces and six ministries each have their own thoughts, and they are all thinking about getting more money for their own families... If it’s not a war, it’s okay, just wait until His Majesty finds out and kills me, but now that the war is going on, the frontline is in urgent need of food, grass, and weapons, so aren’t you afraid that these corrupt ministers will enrich themselves and delay the opportunity to fight?”

When Tang Shaogong spoke, he kept looking at Feng Yun.

Feng Yun also looked at him.

At this time, the sun was shining slantly in from the south window, and the room was very bright, and it also reflected Tang Shaogong's usually sinister face with sunshine.

Although Tang Shaogong's words were sarcastic, Feng Yun could hear some sincerity.

I sincerely care about Pei Madang and Dayong Jun.

His hatred of himself was real.

The concern for Pei Madang is also very real.

If a person is judged as a traitor, no matter what Feng Yun thinks, his consistent words and deeds are a bit extreme for Pei Mad, but they can still be considered loyal...

For her, just...

Feng Yun chuckled lightly and said, "As a woman, I shouldn't be involved in the important affairs of the court. Is it possible that Tang Shaoqing is here to persuade me to get involved in politics?"

Tang Shaogong said: "That's not called intervening in politics. It's called bringing the prince to the court to listen to the government and help His Majesty. The queen doesn't have to do anything. She just needs to sit there and let them think about it and stop making ideas."

Feng Yun sighed, "I don't have such big ambitions. As her guest, Tang Shaoqing knows the fate of Empress Dowager Li best. Why should I follow in her footsteps?"

Tang Shaogong's expression changed.

Anyone who knew about what happened between him and Li Sangruo would have seen the King of Hell long ago.

He didn't expect that Feng Yun would suddenly say it in such a joking yet serious tone.

It's natural, like it's already been established.

Was she trying to deceive him?

Tang Shaogong looked at Feng Yun coldly, his expression unchanged.

"My dear, the Queen Mother of the former Jin Dynasty is deceased, why bother to tarnish her reputation?"

Feng Yun did have thoughts of temptation.

After all, that woman Li Sangruo has raised so many faces and is used to being frivolous. How can she endure it in Xijing? Tang Shaogong was a ruthless man, but he had a good face and a tall figure. There was no guarantee that Li Sangruo wouldn't attack him.

What's more, there's the snowy plum makeup on the defense map?

Seeing that Tang Shaoqing refused to answer, she raised her lips and smiled again, "There are no outsiders here. Tang Shaoqing, why don't you just tell me, do you want to take advantage of His Majesty's absence to find an excuse to punish me?"

Tang Shaogong froze.

She was too direct.

Tang Shaogong slowly raised his sleeves and bowed.

"Mother, I don't dare."

Feng Yun smiled slightly, "What are you afraid of? Don't you hate me so much?"

Tang Shaogong raised his head and stared at her without speaking.

Feng Yun said: "You hate the Feng family and you hate me. You have wanted to kill me for a long time, right?"

Tang Shaogong took a small breath and then slowly spit it out.

"I hate that the Feng family is good. To the empress..."

He paused for a moment and said, "Your Majesty likes it, but I have nothing to say."

Feng Yun was a little surprised.

He actually didn't deny his hatred for himself.

Feng Yun said slowly: "Do you hate me because of what happened back then? You don't think that I, a three-year-old child, can influence the situation of the war, do you?"

Tang Shaogong stared at her.

It took a long, long time before a sentence came out.

"Your Majesty's surname is Feng, that's all. In my opinion, the Feng family does not deserve to live. The Feng family in Xuzhou should be eradicated, leaving no one alive. Your Majesty is too kind. The lives of all the Xie Family Army officers and the entire Xie family are not worthy of my Majesty. one person."

All his hatred was hidden in his words.

Without concealing it, he stabbed Feng Yun straight like a knife.

"Oh?" Feng Yun still had the same tone, calm and determined, even with a hint of smile, and asked lightly:

"What about Li Sangruo? Her surname is not Feng. Why did Tang Shaoqing kill her?"

After saying that, he didn't care what Tang Shaogong's expression was and just looked back at him as a matter of course.

"Not only did you kill him, you also tried to frame me and alienate the relationship between me and His Majesty... I have to say that this trick is quite poisonous. As long as His Majesty has less affection for me and more affection for Li Sangruo, you will succeed. ”

Tang Shaogong averted his eyes.

"I don't know what your Majesty means by this, I have never done this before."

"Ha." Feng Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Over the years, I have been thinking about it. Apart from Tang Shaoqing, who else in the Great Yong Chao Hall hates me so much? No more. Apart from Tang Shaoqing, no one can get close to Li Sangruo, leaving her helpless. Be on guard.”

"Your Majesty, this is a crime you want to inflict!"

"The person who killed Li Sangruo was you! And only you!"

Tang Shaogong: "Your Majesty is so good at solving cases, she should go to Dali Temple."

Feng Yun smiled lazily, "That's not necessary, just whisper in her ear."

Tang Shaogong's heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at her coldly, "Your Majesty is not the kind of person who listens to slander and is seduced by women."

Feng Yun smiled slightly.

She didn't need to argue with Tang Shaogong, because it was meaningless.

She was even less likely to let Tang Shaogong lead her by the nose, take her son to the court to listen to government affairs, and manage state affairs for Pei Jue...

Pei Jue had arranged everything in the court before he left.

For a while, the Great Yong Dynasty would not collapse.

But Tang Shaogong was full of bad water, and he had clearly fabricated a crime and was waiting for her.

Things under the imperial city were never new. Fathers and sons, brothers, and husbands and wives fought to the death for that dragon throne and for the supreme power. It was never uncommon.

If she really did that, how would Pei Jue see her?

What would the civil and military officials in the court think of her?

Feng Yun sneered and stood up, gently brushing her sleeves.

"I am very busy, Tang Shaoqing, please leave."

Tang Shaogong raised his eyes slightly, bowed and said, "Yes."

Took two steps and turned back.

"I hope your Majesty will think twice."

Sister, it's not that I don't want to pass it on at once, but the rest has not been revised yet...

I have written to the end, but they are all manuscripts with xxx, and some plots need to be reconsidered, so I am revising and passing it on at the same time. Too much at once will easily make everyone dizzy, right? Take your time, I will pass it on, you see (dog head saves life)
