After Gao Yang and Chang Le left, Li Shimin stood in the imperial garden and looked to the south, where a large army was advancing towards the south.
In the south, at Feng An's residence, Feng An was sitting quietly in his hall, holding a letter from a flying pigeon in his hand. The person delivering the letter was naturally Changsun Wuji.
Looking at this letter, Feng An's face was a little uncertain. From the letter, he learned that His Majesty sent Luo Zhang here, and what Changsun Wuji wanted him to do was to keep Luo Zhang in the south forever. Can't return to Chang'an.
Feng An instinctively wanted to refuse Changsun Wuji's request, but Changsun Wuji revealed part of his plan. If it succeeded, Changsun Wuji would promise him that he would be the king of the southern land. Feng An simply could not refuse such a temptation. .
But is it really that simple?
Can Changsun Wuji really succeed?
Is His Majesty really that weak and easy to bully now?
Questions lingered in Feng Ang's mind, making it difficult for him to make a decision.
At this time, the two of them walked into the hall, came to Feng Ang and bowed: "Father!"
"grown ups!"
Seeing these two people, Feng Ang finally came to his senses, waved his hands towards them and said, "Sit down!"
The two walked to the chairs nearby and sat down.
"What's the important thing for my father to call me here?" The handsome young man who spoke asked quickly when he saw something wrong with his father's expression.
The old man sitting on the other side also looked solemn. This was the first time he saw his master showing such an expression!
Feng An didn't speak but handed the thin silk cloth in his hand to the young man beside him.
The young man hurriedly took the silk cloth and looked at it carefully. His expression suddenly changed at this sight.
After watching, the young man handed the silk cloth to the old man aside. The old man hurriedly took the silk cloth and looked at it, while the young man looked at his father steadily.
At this time, he already knew why his father had such an expression. It would make anyone's heart tremble, but it was already remarkable that his father could sit here calmly.
If his father hadn't been there, he would have screamed out in surprise and jumped up from his chair. Now that his father was here, if he did this, he would never walk into this hall again, and he would never know about it again. Such a big deal!
Instead, other brothers will take his place. His brothers are all eyeing his father's position, and he is now the closest to this position, so they naturally wish him bad luck.
The old man read very slowly, but his expression became more solemn. After he finished reading, he put the silk cloth on Feng Ang's table and then said: "Sir, this matter..."
The old man didn't finish speaking, but the inquiry in his words had already come out.
"What do you think about this?" Feng Ang asked.
The old man pondered for a while and then said: "I think this is impossible!"
"Oh? Why can't you do it?" Feng Ang looked at the old man with interest.
"If we agree to Changsun Wuji's matter, we will fall out with Li Shimin. Who is Luo Zhang? He is Li Shimin's favorite and son-in-law. If we kill him, you can imagine how angry Li Shimin will be."
"And Changsun Wuji wants to do that, do you think he will succeed? Now he is talking empty words. Promising to give you the land in the south is just talk. It has no meaning at all! If he sits on that It’s okay for you to say such things, but now you don’t, they are all empty talk, and agreeing to such a thing will not do us any good!”
"So I don't think this is possible!"
Hearing what the old man said, Feng An frowned slightly. This was exactly what he was thinking about. Changsun Wuji's conditions were indeed tempting, but as the old man said, it was just an empty promise with no substance at all. meaning.
If Changsun Wuji cannot sit in that position, what will happen to him?
He will bear Li Shimin's wrath, and Li Shimin will definitely send an army to suppress him. Although he has been operating in the south for many years, he does not think he can compete with Chang'an's army.
It's just that if he doesn't agree to Changsun Wuji, it's like falling out with him. He doesn't think anything about falling out with Changsun Wuji, but if he really ascends to that position, he won't end well either. This matter really puts him in a dilemma. !
"Father, there is no rush to make a decision on this matter. We might as well meet with Luo Zhang first, what do you think?" the young man suggested.
"Huh? What Junhao said makes sense. Let's meet Luo Zhang first and see what kind of ability he has to win Li Shimin's favor. If it is flashy and unrealistic, like an embroidered pillow, it means that Li Shimin is nothing more than that, and he doesn't know people well!"
"If this Luo Zhang is really capable, then he should reject Changsun Wuji in this matter. If Luo Zhang is not here to persuade us to surrender, let's just listen to what he says about making a decision!" the old man said.
After hearing this, Feng An couldn't help but nodded and said: "Mr. Long is right about this matter. Let's meet this Luo Zhang first. If he is flashy, kill him on the spot. If he has real ability, this matter can be discussed." Let’s talk and see what conditions Li Shimin offers us!”
"As it should be!" the old man nodded in agreement.
The young man also laughed. He was the one who made this suggestion. If he had the greatest credit, he would be the biggest one. But having said that, if he didn’t do anything, who would? If his father fell, let alone what position he wanted, he would have to flee. almost.
Luo Zhang didn't know that just two days after he left Chang'an, his news had already reached Feng An's hands, and he didn't know that Changsun Wuji sent a secret letter to Feng An asking him to kill him.
But even if he knew, he would laugh it off. When it comes to his understanding of Feng An, Luo Zhang is not far away from the first person, but he is still close. Although the history books are biased, they are all about how people who have ascended to high positions are written about them. Wise and wise, as for others, most of them are close to the truth.
So Luo Zhang didn't believe that Feng An would rebel at all, which was why he was willing to make this trip. Otherwise, his life would be in danger. Luo Zhang would not be stupid enough to go find Feng An. He should leave such things to others.
