King Rui did not know that Xiao Lingyao held half of the flying dragon talisman in his hand. Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao looked at each other and decided not to tell the secret to the emperor. Qin Feng said: "In ancient times, those who hold military power are prone to ambition, but these officers and soldiers are always in the court.

Keep it."

If the imperial court does not allocate funds, so many soldiers will not even have winter clothes to wear. Although Zhenbei Hou wants to rebel, he must also weigh whether he has the ability to support so many soldiers!

King Rui was quite surprised. He didn't expect Qin Feng to see through the key point at a glance. He scratched his head and said: "Don't mention it, raising an army is not a trivial matter. Just the Zhenbei Army, with strong soldiers and horses, can guard the border, but it is also

The Marquis of Zhenbei is not brave enough to be fat."

"So the money allocated to that place over the years has been carefully calculated by the emperor. If it is too much, it will not work, and if it is too little, it will not work. If it is too little, I worry that the soldiers will be dissatisfied with the court. If it is too much, it will breed evil intentions."

Qin Feng was also worried after hearing this. He glanced at Xiao Lingyao, who was planning to raise a private army, and sighed: "It is said that raising an army takes a thousand days, but it is spent in a moment, but this word involves many things, and it is really difficult."

Think back to the Three Kingdoms period, when the great hero Cao Cao had more troops than Wu and Wei combined. It was still an agricultural society and people lived in poverty. It was also a troubled time with constant wars and the country was not strong.

In order to support the army, Cao Cao actually made him a captain of Mojin, and used tomb robbing to raise military expenses to support his army. He had no choice but to raise money by robbing tombs because the taxes were not enough.

In ancient times, filial piety and brotherhood were valued, and it was a no-brainer to dig up the tombs of ancestors. However, in order to support the army, Cao Cao had no choice but to take this path on the advice of his advisers. The first thing to suffer was the tomb of the Han Dynasty royal family.

Although this approach is not correct, Cao Cao relied on this method to feed hundreds of thousands of troops. Although other heroes in troubled times did not have the idea of ​​​​the ancestors, they would also loot and loot the plundered property and food after attacking the city.

All of it was used to support the army.

Xiao Lingyao listened to the two talking about raising the army, but she had a haggard look on her face and did not say anything. However, Qin Feng had already noticed that she was listening very intently, and her long and white fingers were tapping lightly on the handle of the chair from time to time.

It's something I'm thinking about.

At present, the Yuan clan has not yet arrived at the place of exile. If they successfully rescue the exiled former navy soldiers, their resettlement will become a big problem. Where will they be resettled, what identity will they be given to escape capture, and how will they be dealt with in the future?

Sensing Qin Feng's peripheral vision, Xiao Lingyao cheered up and suddenly stood up and said: "Uncle Emperor, Yao'er is not feeling well and needs to rest first. I'll let the prince consort greet you."

King Rui belatedly realized that her face was not good, and he hurriedly asked her to rest. After he could no longer see her, he said, "What's wrong with her? She looks a little bad. Could it be that she is pregnant?"

Qin Feng was drinking tea and almost choked himself. He quickly put down the tea cup and said: "Uncle Huang misunderstood. Maybe he spent too much time in Kunning Palace today and developed a high fever after leaving the palace. We just came back from the hospital."

, Your Highness, her fever has just subsided, so it is inevitable that she will be weak."

"Hey, I thought I was going to be the emperor's grandfather." Prince Rui was very happy and said with a smile: "But according to the wishes of you two, good things will spread soon.

Brother Huang has not yet become a grandfather."

This topic made Qin Feng embarrassed. He was afraid that he would make too many mistakes, so he just smiled implicitly and did not dare to talk in depth.

"Uncle Huang is joking. Yao'er is thin-skinned. Don't say this in front of her. It will be your nephew-in-law who will be unlucky later." Qin Feng said: "This time things have become so big that the East Palace has been abandoned and vacant.

I think the Marquis of Zhenbei also wants to know the news."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Zhenbeihou's spies have never broken roots in Sui City, and they quietly told my nephew-in-law that I don't know how many pigeons were intercepted by the Feilong Army." King Rui clicked his tongue and said, "I still begged for it.

A batch came over to bake and eat."

Roasted squab is indeed delicious. Qin Feng accidentally thought a little wrong and his mouth was filled with saliva. After swallowing his saliva, he said: "Obviously I can't hide it this time."

"Brother Huang didn't want to hide it. Isn't this a good time to strike?" King Rui snorted and said, "If you hadn't been qualified to be selected by the Prince Consort, Prince Zhenbei would have entered the city.

This king’s sister-in-law definitely doesn’t do human affairs.”

Qin Feng knew that if he hadn't been involved, the queen would have found a way to let Xiao Lingyao recruit the Prince of Zhenbei as her consort.

Fortunately, Xiao Lingyao found a way out for himself, and Emperor Yuan definitely did not want to take advantage of Zhenbei Hou, so he would definitely agree to his daughter's request. This made the Queen's and Zhenbei Hou's plans come to nothing. In this way, he and Zhenbei Hou were

Hou made a grudge, who asked him to ruin other people's affairs?

"Don't worry nephew-in-law. Although the prince has been deposed, Zhenbeihou will not act at this time. The whole country is paying attention to the spring palace. If he acts rashly and destroys the order of the court, forcing thousands of students to miss the spring palace, he will

How does the Northern Marquis win the hearts of the people?"

King Rui unfolded his fan with full confidence, and with a loud bang, there were four big characters written on the fan - it's rare to be confused!

I don’t know if Prince Rui knows Mr. Zheng Banqiao, but these four words really suit him.

"So, now that the Marquis of Zhenbei has received the news, even if he has a lot of thoughts, he has to put it aside. What's more, it's winter now, and the winter in Beiguan is very difficult. He has to think about how to get some winter armaments first.

Supplies, busy."

The implication is that the Marquis of Zhenbei cannot take care of the affairs of Kunning Palace today, and he still cannot reach out to Sui City. Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao don't have to worry about what the Marquis of Zhenbei will do if the news reaches Beiguan.

"Thank you, uncle, for the advice. My nephew-in-law feels more at ease. I'm fine with you. I'm just afraid that His Highness will be implicated. After all, it's a big deal." Qin Feng said, "If it's possible, I don't want to worry about anything, Your Highness, and just enjoy it with me."

good."

Prince Rui suddenly fell silent, sighed inexplicably, and looked at Qin Feng with a more complicated look: "As a royal family, how can you be so easy to keep calm? If you encounter trouble in the future, you will have to avoid it. Anyway, the former prince will suffer this time, and the queen will

Being imprisoned, there are no more spies in the princess mansion."

It is said that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. This conversation with Prince Rui allowed Qin Feng to grasp a lot of information and have more considerations about what he is about to do. He has deep feelings for this so-called idle prince.

A little more grateful.

But he could also feel subtly that King Rui seemed to be outside the court and only controlled the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, he knew a lot of information and could tell that he was one of the few who could get really close to Emperor Yuan.

one of the people.

He had heard Xiao Lingyao mention it before that the Feilong Army was a forbidden army directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Yuan. The fact that the Feilong Army blocked the carrier pigeons was known to King Rui, which showed how favored King Rui was.
