409 The imperial decree arrives brightly and secretly 2
Hong Yan only replied: "Don't worry, Brother Huang will regret his decision."
This was the first time that Feng Hongluan heard Hong Yan's criticism of the emperor. She thought that Hong Yan would still help his emperor brother at this moment.
She had once thought about who Hong Yan would side with once she had a conflict with the emperor in Feng Mansion.
Simply, at that time, Hong Yan was worried that she would never be able to turn to her. Now, Hong Yan's words made her happy.
"Why does the emperor do this? A military officer must be a civil servant with both civil and military skills. My father doesn't know many Chinese characters. If you ask him to discuss politics, he has a rebellious temper and is absolutely incompetent. Is the emperor... afraid of my father's great achievements?
?”
She looked around and lowered her voice.
Hong Yan didn't answer, but just stepped forward and put his arm around Feng Hongluan's shoulders: "If you want your father to return to the battlefield and regain military power, just listen to me in everything that follows."
Now, Feng Hongluan himself has no idea and can only rely on Hongyan: "Okay, I don't ask my father to serve as a general. Fame and fortune are nothing more than that, but once my father leaves the battlefield, he will be like a fish out of water.
, He has spent his whole life in the army, how can he settle down in the capital and enjoy the glory? It is strange that he is afraid that he will get sick."
Hong Yan nodded understandingly: "I know, I will arrange it, don't worry."
Although his words didn't sound like a solemn guarantee, they made Feng Hongluan really feel at ease.
No matter what tricks and skills Hongyan had, she always believed at this moment that Hongyan would solve everything.
Lying dependently in his arms, wrapping her hands around his waist, she put her trust in Hong Yan wholeheartedly. In her heart, she was very dissatisfied with the emperor's actions.
She is actually very transparent in her heart.
The imperial edict has not yet been found, and the emperor has secretly demoted his father's power. The first reason is that he is afraid of being overshadowed by his superiority. The most important thing is that the emperor is afraid of his father's identity - the father-in-law of the King of Jin.
Once the imperial edict reappears in the world and the King of Jin becomes ambitious again, the situation will be even more severe than when the general was still alive.
The son-in-law holds the imperial edict of the late emperor, and the father-in-law holds the military power of the Tiger Talisman. Once he plots rebellion, the emperor's status will be in jeopardy.
The emperor tried every means to suppress Hong Yan. On the surface he appeared to be a kind brother, but behind his back he set up secret traps one by one. This is really disgusting.
He was already at a high level, and Hong Yan had no intention of rebellion at all, but he was suspicious by nature. He was obsessed with a posthumous edict and made calculations again and again.
In Feng Hongluan's heart, this man who was the king of a country and valued above all others became even more despicable and nasty.
She thought that no matter how strong Hong Yan's endurance was and no matter how reverent he was to the emperor, he should have felt more strongly than she did that the emperor was not here for her father this time, but for the decree given by Hong Yan.
She was glad that Hong Yan was not lost in the ocean of family affection and blindly believed that whatever decision the emperor made was the right one.
Lying on Hong Yan's chest, she could clearly hear the strong beating of Hong Yan's chest.
It was not just her and her father who were angry, but also——Hong Yan.

This job was really difficult to do, and Hongwen kept mumbling all the way back from Feng Mansion.
"Why do you just let me go? If I am a bad person, then General Feng may hate me in the future. I don't want to offend anyone. I just want to be peaceful and clean. This is fine. General Feng is Xiaoyan's father-in-law. I still
I told Xiaoyan that the emperor brother summoned me, and Xiao Yan might not think wrongly, thinking that it was the emperor brother who made plans with me and demoted General Feng."
Even Hongwen is stupid and knows that he was actually promoted to Fengcheng as the right prime minister, but in fact he demoted Fengcheng, raised his salary and status, but took back all the power and military power.
The position of right minister is a false position, and it has always been just a salary in name. What on earth did the emperor have in mind this time to bury such a meritorious official?
He didn't dare to ask more questions. Now he just hoped that Hong Yan didn't think too much. He really just conveyed the order and did not participate in the decision-making.
He was really upset. He was most afraid of brotherly discord, because the emperor had few heirs, and in the past few years, only one concubine Li was pregnant, and she accidentally lost her child. Apart from that, there were only the queen's two children.
If the imperial brother has nothing to do and something happens to the prince, the best candidates for the crown prince's position cannot be his sons. He knows this very well.
His two sons followed him and made little progress in their studies.
The eldest son was playful, and the second son had been in poor health since he was a child. The doctor said he could not raise him until he was ten years old, so he made all his plans for the eldest son. Because the second son would never grow up, all his efforts were in vain.
Although he is not as smart as the other brothers, he is not that stupid. He still understands that once the emperor no longer has any heirs and the prince has an emergency, the position of crown prince will definitely fall on his brothers.
To establish the emperor's younger brother, the fourth son is known as a wise king, but his health is not good; the fourth son spends a lot of time and is living well after marrying a wife, but he is unlearned and has no skills except fame; the fourth son is sixty-one, and the dandy has imitated him
The fifth brother is not a good candidate; the seventh mother's concubine has a low status, and her mother's family is still a criminal, so naturally she is not a good candidate.
To put it bluntly, these brothers are all crooked and crooked. Anyone can be the emperor's younger brother, so he always wants to be diplomatic and avoid offending anyone.
He was worried that Hongyan would hold a grudge against him because of what happened today. He refused to let anyone go to the palace in the sedan chair. He felt that it was necessary to go back to Feng Mansion to explain to Hongyan.
His intestines are not spinning. Although he has planned everything, he can't figure it out. His brothers are not tepid towards him. Firstly, he is polite and courteous to his brothers. Secondly, of course, it is because of him.
The mediocre person appears to be very mediocre and easy-going.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, as if he couldn't sleep unless he told Hong Yan that I didn't participate in writing the edict and didn't participate in the discussion.
He didn't want any suspicion or suspicion between the brothers.
The sedan chair returned to Feng Mansion, and when he arrived again, Feng Hongluan was very surprised, thinking that something had been left behind, but Hong Yan seemed to be used to it.
"Third brother."
"Xiaoyan, I have something to tell you privately."
"Third brother, please tell me."
"I really don't know about the imperial edict, and I'm in a very difficult position. I don't want to come to deliver it, but the emperor insists on me coming."
This person has a straightforward heart and can't hide anything, so no wonder he can't accomplish anything. However, such a straightforward character also brings his own blessings.
